Upgrading the Flame Altar in Enshrouded

Like most things in this open-world game, players are going to have to work hard to gather the necessary resources to upgrade the Flame Altar. Enshrouded makes it quite convenient, giving players a full list of just what is required before they can think about a potential upgrade.

There are always going to be several materials that are found easily among the flora and fauna, such as Red Mushrooms, Bones, Resin, and more. These can be readily found as long as players are always on the hunt, chopping down trees, mining ore, and interacting with the environment. What is most daunting is that, predictably, some of the key ingredients are rare and hard to obtain in Embervale, such as Spark.

Sparks are only available as rewards when players stumble upon Flame Shrines located around the world, with no clear clues as to where one is located at any given time. The only way is to explore and keep a sharp eye out, and only when near one would the map mark it as so. As much as possible, whenever you are near a Flame Shrine, be sure to claim the Spark that is within to add to the inventory.

Benefits of Flame Altar Upgrades

By upgrading the Flame Altar, players can benefit in several ways. It extends the time window in which players can spend inside the dangerous Shroud and also increases the limit on the number of Flame Altars in the world.

Considering the fact that each Flame Altar also acts as a convenient Fast Travel point, it only makes life easier as you venture forward and fill out more of the huge map. Lastly, each upgrade brings attribute bonuses for your characters, making them stronger and more ready to deal with whatever Enshrouded will throw at them next.
