Charcoal is one of the most common resources that you will need as part of your early, mid and late-game activities in Enshrouded. From creating basic fuel sources used in other crafting stations, to even becoming part of some of the end-game recipes. No matter where you are in the game, you will need this material. So, with no further ado, here’s a closer look at how to get Charcoal in Enshrouded.
How to Make Charcoal in Enshrouded¶
To make Charcoal in Enshrouded, players will need to have access to a Charcoal Kiln. You can get this by recruiting the Blacksmith from the early game quest. Make sure to do that, and then place the Blacksmith in your base via the Summoning Staff. When that’s done, speak to him, and then you can learn to craft the Charcoal Kiln under the Production Place menu. From here, gather 20 Stone, and then place the Charcoal Kiln in the base somewhere.
With the Charcoal Kiln in place, you can now begin crafting Charcoal by turning 5 Wood Logs and 3 Dirt into 15 Charcoal. It will take 5 minutes at the Kiln to make the Charcoal.
Make sure to keep a reserve of Dirt and Logs for Charcoal needs. You can easily get dirt by digging it up from most terrain using a mining pick. Meanwhile, Wood Logs drop from all basic trees in the Springlands and the Low Meadows Biomes. Keep a stockpile of these items in the Charcoal Kiln, as you will need lots of Charcoal throughout the entire game.
