The versatility and diversity of Enshrouded make up the game, as it contains a massive map, 100s of resources to farm, and content to access. This makes it pretty easy to get lost in Enshrouded, as the game combines different elements to make a singular item. After searching, we compiled this Enshrouded Early Item Farming Guide, where we have the best resource farming spots to get our hands on all the essential resources. From shroud cores, wood, and liquid to salt, flax, and copper hotspots.
These are the essentials that you require from the early game as a beginner to upgrade your base and character for further progression. So without further ado, let's get farming!
You might have already realized that if you gather these bushes you get a couple of plant fibers as well as twigs but every single time you only get one and especially for arrow crafting you're gonna need a lot of these.
We have a pretty amazing location to get your hands on a ton of these early games, right next to the cinder vault. You just wanna be a little bit to the northeast or south of your home if you decide to place it right there.
When you're on an adventure in the shroud, we recommend you keep an eye out for these bushes as well. If you gather them you also get some of these twigs which can make it a lot easier to craft arrows when in desperate need of them.
Next up we have resin. This is something you can find in trees. If you chop them down, unfortunately though, most trees will only give you wood when gathered or one single resin which is gonna require a lot of chopping down the trees while if you focus on orange-leafed trees, you'll be able to get your hands on resin a lot easier as these drop fewer logs but much more resin.
You can find these from all the creatures you hunt during your adventures. The goats are super easy to take down with a bow and arrow. They drop a lot of bones and fur.
We recommend you keep an eye open for trees with beehives as they can give you both wax and honey when harvested. Especially with honey, you will have stamina on steroids.
For early game, this is amazing to harvest resources, mine ore, chop down trees, or in a lot of dodge rolls in combat.
Next up we have sheet metal. The best location to farm scrap/sheet metal would be Rookmore which can be found a little bit northwest of your starter area or southwest of the Ancient Spire Springlands.
Right here you can interact with anything on the floor. All humanoid scavengers in this area will drop metal scraps which is an amazing farm for the early game while this is also a fantastic location to quickly get your hands on flint.
In the Rookmore, If you destroy this wall mentioned in the image, a little bit southwest of Rookmore, this is where you can use your pickaxe to mine a passage to one of the best spots to get your hands on flintstone early game.
So you just want to follow the road, and on your left, sticking on the mountain, you will find Flintstone. This already brings you to a big place where you can get your hands on plenty of flintstone.
For torn clothes, you should be in the Shroud. Especially near Brelin Bridge where you have this elixir well like one of your first objectives. As in this area, you can take out enemies and they drop a ton of torn clothes and also shroud spores.
In the above-mentioned location for torn clothes, you can also find a ton of shroud spores
You can also find runes right here which drop from all sorts of creatures that you take out in the wild.
Since we're already here let's discuss how you can pick up shroud wood as this is something also very easy to get your hands on. Find these bigger trees, and chop them down, as they will drop a ton of shroud wood.
While the smaller plants in this area, like the little flowers, drop shroud liquid. You can also chop down these bigger mushrooms as they also sometimes drop the shroud liquid.
So there you have it. Shroud liquid, shroud wood, and the shroud spores. That's it for all the essentials to pick up early game.
