Resource Types and Tiers

In Enshrouded, understanding the different categories and qualities of resources is crucial for effective crafting and building. Familiarize yourself with the various tiers and types of resources to optimize your gameplay.

Navigating the resource landscape of Enshrouded! It's a constant dance between necessity and scarcity, each tier a step towards crafting sturdier shelters, deadlier weapons, and ultimately, survival. Let's delve into the Enshrouded crafting components types, shall we?

• Basic Resources: These are the raw materials, the building blocks of survival. Think wood, stone, fiber, and animal parts. They're readily available but require refining for more complex crafting.
  Refined Resources: Processed versions of Basic Resources. Lumber from wood, ingots from ore, leather from hides – these are the lifeblood of advanced crafting.
• Manufactured Resources: Combining Refined Resources unlocks a whole new level of possibilities. Fabric from threads, metal tools from ingots, powerful ammunition from chemicals – these are the fruits of your resourceful labor.
• Scavenged Resources: Not everything needs crafting. Food cans, medical supplies, even functional tools – the remnants of a lost world can be vital finds.

Each Resource Type ascends through multiple tiers, representing increasing quality and complexity. Tier 1 might be a crude wooden club, Tier 2 a sharpened bone knife, and Tier 3 a gleaming steel sword. Higher tiers demand rarer materials and advanced crafting techniques, but the rewards are worth the effort.

At the start of the game, all resources are equally important, but it can be difficult to guess where to find specific ones. If you find yourself struggling, refer to tables we have in this article that list all basic and advanced resources for rapid-based building and general progression

Additionally, it highlights the chance-based acquisition of items like torn cloth from the open world and scrap metal from defeated enemies, enriching your gaming experience with an element of exploration and combat. Overall, the table serves as a valuable guide for you as you navigate the game world, emphasizing the importance of resource management and strategic crafting in your journey.

How To Use Resources To Progress In Enshourded?

Enshrouded's crafting starts with Workbenches. Scattered across the land, these sturdy stations offer blueprints for various items. Think of them as your sheet music, guiding your crafting symphony. Resources are the lifeblood of crafting. Every scrap, from wood and stone to animal parts and scavenged treasures, plays its own vital role. Learn to gather wisely, for scarcity is a constant companion in Enshrouded.

Basic resources are mere whispers, waiting to be amplified. Refining stations like furnaces and tanneries elevate them to their full potential – lumber from wood, ingots from ore, leather from hides. Each refinement unlocks a new chorus of crafting possibilities. Higher tier of resources or building resources require several basic resources:

1. Making Nails - nails are an essential part of any base. These can only be made if you find and add a Blacksmith to your base.
2. Metal Sheets - metal sheets are required for high-level base buildings and gear. But this is a refined material, so you will need a Forge and x2 Charcoal and x2 Scrap Metal to make one seet.

There are more specialized and unique resources that are needed for crafting exotic items and powerful consumables. BLOG20

Plants and Herbs

Plants are used to make consumables, healing items, and food. They are found in various biomes, so you’re going to have to explore the map to find all of them. Want to know how to fet water in Enshrouded? The answer is not as simple as it might seem. Water can be found in wells, either the ones found in the world or by making your own well.

You’re going to need a few tools to acquire plant resources. Mostly we’re talking about the axe to take down the trees.

Mushrooms

There aren’t many mushrooms in the game. So far we’ve only found two:

• Azure Russula - in Revelwood and later Shroud areas
• Red Mushroom - in Springlands

See if you can find what they’re used for!

Minerals and Ores

Enshoruded ores are essential components of any mid-high tier gear and buildings. Remember that most of them must be refined for further use.

Better ores are found in biomes beyond the starting one, so make sure you bring some weapons with you besides your mining tools.

Wood and Timber

Wood is the core material for making the most basic stuff in the game. All tier-1 structures and crafting stations use it.

Despite the fact that wood is a widely accessible resource you need a lot of it to make something of value, so watch the durability of your tools and repair them when they’re about to break.

Animal Resources

Animals drop all kinds of resources. Each animal is unique in the sense of what you can loot after hunting them down.

Crafting Materials

Most of the resources in this category require you to build a specific structure such as a Laboratory or an Alchemy Station. Make sure to invest some resources into building these as they will help you progress further into the game.

We did include some of the refined resources in this list to give you an idea of where you can put your basic resources to make something advanced.

Alchemy and Crafting Components

Alchemy is a big portion of the game as it allows you to create various trinkets and even bombs, but it requires some of the most rare and unique ingredients.

Several ingredients are the byproducts of you harvesting different things like plants, trees, etc. Be mindful of that when farming for primary resources - don’t throw away stuff that you don’t know what it does.
