Enshrouded Materials Guide: Shroud Adhesive, Amber, Resin and More
How to get Shroud Adhesive, Giant Critter Scales, Fossilized Bone, Amber, Goo, Resin and Clay in Enshrouded 1.0, with drop odds and recipes.
Seven materials hold up a lot of mid-game crafting in Enshrouded: Shroud Adhesive, Giant Critter Scales, Fossilized Bone, Amber, Goo, Resin and Lump of Clay. This guide covers where each one comes from.
Recipes, drop tables and odds come from the 1.0 game files. The game files don’t say where in the world a deposit or enemy sits, so locations come from the Enshrouded wiki and are marked as such.
| Material | Used in recipes | Main source |
|---|---|---|
| Shroud Adhesive | 23 | Shroud Flayers, or grow your own |
| Giant Critter Scales | 7 | Fell Critter Queen |
| Fossilized Bone | 32 | Mining giant bones |
| Amber | 42 | Mining amber veins |
| Goo | 37 | Crafted at the Alchemist |
| Resin | 88 | Chopping trees |
| Lump of Clay | 57 | Mining clay deposits |
How to get Shroud Adhesive
The wiki says Shroud Adhesive drops from Shroud Flayers, first found in the Nomad Highlands. In the game files:
| Drop table (game-file name) | Amount | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Fog Tentacle Solo drops | 1 to 3 | 100% |
| Tentacle Shroud Adhesive animated harvest (a harvestable plant) | 2 to 4 | 100% |
The game files don’t name these enemies or plants in English, so we can’t confirm which table is which in-game creature.
Grow it at home. Once you have some, plant it. The Shroud Flayer Seedling recipe at the Seedbed takes 1 Acidic Mycelium, 1 Shroud Adhesive and 1 Shroud Infused Farm Soil, and takes 180 seconds. The wiki lists the seedling as a source of Shroud Adhesive.
What it’s for: 23 recipes that make 20 different items, including the Extraordinary Glider (15 Shroud Adhesive at the Carpenter). Keen’s 1.0 changelog says the glider now needs less adhesive than before.
How to get Giant Critter Scales
The wiki says they drop from the Fell Critter Queen, first found in Revelwood. Two drop tables in the game files include her head (one, two). Each gives, at 100%:
- 4 to 6 Giant Critter Scales
- 4 to 8 Legendary Runes
- Her head: Fell Critter Queen Head or Fell Crimson Critter Queen Head
What they’re for: 7 recipes: six chest armour pieces (Adventurer Chest, Cutthroat Chest, Healer Tunic, Mage Chest, Ranger Vest and Tank Chestplate) and the Ghostly Ward.
Normal critters are still useful later. Keen’s 1.0 changelog says their parts now craft Chitin Powder: 3 Critter Parts or Critter Carapace make 3 at the Grinding Stones.
How to get Fossilized Bone
Fossilized Bone isn’t in any loot table in the 1.0 files, so you mine it. The wiki says it comes from giant bones in the Nomad Highlands and the Kindlewastes, and points to a giant rib cage west of the Nomad Highlands Ancient Spire.
You can grind it into Fossilized Bone Dust:
| Station | Input | Output | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mill | 1 Fossilized Bone | 5 Fossilized Bone Dust | 300 s |
| Grinding Stones | 1 Fossilized Bone | 3 Fossilized Bone Dust | 600 s |
The Mill gives more dust in half the time.
What it’s for: 32 recipes that make 31 items, from Fossilized Bone Arrow to the Loom and Spinning Wheel.
How to get Amber
Amber isn’t in any loot table or recipe output, so mining is the only source. The wiki says it’s mined from red amber veins in the Revelwood Shroud, with several deposits in the deep Shroud cavity between Abandoned Hunter Camp and Hidden Hollow Tomb, north of the Revelwood Ancient Spire.
Watch your Shroud timer while you mine.
What it’s for: 42 recipes that make 26 items, including fire spells and all 7 items that need Giant Critter Scales.
How to make Goo
Goo is crafted, not gathered. At the Alchemist with the Mortar placed:
| Input | Count |
|---|---|
| Springlands Dirt | 1 |
| Shroud Mushroom | 2 |
| Bug Dust | 1 |
| Makes | 1 Goo |
The Mortar is the reward from the quest The Alchemist's Mortar. The quest text says it’s hidden in the Alchemist Tower in Lone Thistle, below the surface. The Alchemist can also craft a Mortar from 10 Lump of Clay, 3 Sulfur, 2 Nitrate, 5 Charcoal and 5 Sand.
What it’s for: 37 recipes that make 31 items, including Flammable Goo: at the Laboratory, 5 Tar, 1 Shroud Vapor, 1 Coal and 1 Goo make 5 in 300 seconds.
How to get Resin
The wiki says Resin comes from chopping trees, faster from trees with red leaves. You can grow those at home: at the Seedbed, 1 Farm Soil and 1 Twigs make 5 Revelwood Red Leaf Seedling in 180 seconds.
The game files also have Resin in loot:
| Source | Amount | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Locked Materials chest | 50 | 100% |
| Locked Materials Early Game chest | 5 | 100% |
| Corpse Vukah container | 1 to 3 per roll | 30 to 33% per roll |
| Some wildlife drops | 1 to 3 | 30 to 33% |
What it’s for: 88 recipes that make 84 items, the most of any material here: torches, braziers, fire spells and lots of furniture.
How to get Lump of Clay
Clay isn’t in any loot table either. The wiki says it’s mined from clay deposits, common in Revelwood. They look like large orange-brown clumps of mud.
What it’s for: 57 recipes that make 57 items. The important ones are stations:
- Kiln: 50 Revelwood Stone, 10 Lump of Clay, 10 Metal Scraps and 2 Twigs at the Carpenter.
- Fired Bricks: 1 Lump of Clay and 1 wood at the Kiln. The Blast Furnace needs 20 of them, plus 10 more Lump of Clay.
- The Mortar for the Alchemist (10 Lump of Clay), and a long list of pots, vases and other clay decorations.
