Crafting new items is important to make progress in Enshrouded. Since it is a survival game, players are going to face several challenges and hurdles. Payers start their journey with only a handful of resources, but thankfully, they can expand their inventory by collecting items during their journey.

Due to the restricted amount of resources in the earlier stages of the game, players can only craft a few items. However, there are several essential items that players should prioritize crafting to facilitate their journey. These items can be crafted easily and help players to survive their adventure.

As the game becomes more crowded with various enemies and animals throughout the map, players require a reliable survival tool to navigate through various challenges.

Strings can be crafted using three Plant Fibers, which can be obtained by interacting with nearby bushes. The other ingredients can be found directly on the ground while exploring ruins or forests.

The Workbench is another crucial item for crafting, as many advanced crafting recipes require its use. Moreover, it serves as a tool repair station.

Players can acquire Wood Logs by chopping down the trees with an axe. Alternatively, they can get Wood Logs from wooden furniture. Upon gathering the necessary resources, visit the crafting menu, select Workbench in Essentials, and start crafting it.

6 Bandages

A Little Bit of Healing

Ingredients:

  • Strings 1x
  • Torn Cloth 1x

While potions serve as the most effective means for healing in the game, they are not readily available, especially in the early stages. As a result, bandages emerge as invaluable sources of healing in Enshrouded. Bandages provide healing over time, making them beneficial during battles. Strings can be crafted with Plant Fibers, but obtaining Torn Cloth can prove to be challenging. Players must defeat enemies and loot them to get Torn Cloth, or explore buildings to find them.

5 Lockpicks

Time to Unlock Some Chests

While exploring the map, players will come across chests that contain valuable resources. However, a few of the chests are locked, and the only way to unlock them is by using a Lockpick.

Players can acquire Metal Scraps as a common drop from defeating enemies, particularly Scavengers, who roam outside the Shrouded area. Additionally, players can obtain Metal Scraps by breaking down items like Barrels, which contain metal.

4 Glider

Fly Through the Mountains
