How to Get Resin in Enshrouded

In Enshrouded, after building your initial Flame Altar and setting up camp, you’ll have several objectives to branch off to, strengthening your altar as one of many paths you’ll venture down. One of the materials required to strengthen the Flame Altar is resin, which is also used as a crafting material for several in-game items. Let’s talk about how to get resin early on so you can make your first sacrificial offering.

How to Find Resin Easily in Enshrouded

An easy way to find resin early on is to search for and chop down trees with orange, red, or brown leaves. Unlike regular trees which have a chance of dropping resin, these are guaranteed to give you resin, with the exact amount dependent on their size.

You can find several in Longkeep, the camp just outside the cave you exited shortly after starting the game.

As you enter the wild and explore the world, you’ll spot more that’ll give you resin.
