Hide Arborum is an important crafting material in Windrose that you will need as you move into the mid and late game. It’s mainly used to create stronger gear and upgrade key items, so knowing how to get it can save you a lot of time later. The process isn’t too complicated, but it requires a few different resources from specific areas. In this guide, we will show you how to craft Hide Arborum and where to find all the materials you need.
How to Get & Use Hide Arborum
Hide Arborum is an enchantable item made from hide material. You will require Hide Arborum for higher-level crafting. To get this item, go to your Enchanting Table, as the crafting time required for making one piece is 45 seconds.
- 1 Crocodile Hide Piece
- 1 Essence Arborum
- 1 Tar
With these items, simply use your Enchanting Table, and you will get your Hide Arborum.
How to Get Essence Arborum
Essence Arborum is not a common ingredient in Windrose, often described as a physical form of a curse. It’s used in crafting, so you will likely need a good amount of it later in the game. You can craft it by using a Smelting Furnace, which includes the Large Smelting Furnace.
To create one piece of Essence Arborum, you will require a Plague Wood. The process will take approximately 20 seconds to create 1 Essence Arborum, and therefore, you can create 3 per minute.
How to Get Crocodile Hide
Crocodile Hide Pieces are primarily used for making some important items in Windrose. The two items that you can craft using Crocodile Hide Pieces include the Hide Arborum, which needs 1 piece of Hide and the Quartermaster Backpack, which needs 5 pieces of Hide.
To get Crocodile Hide Pieces in Windrose, you should explore the swamp. This location is accessible once you defeat the second boss. Within the swamp zone, you should search around the locations where the water is shallow. This is because crocodiles always spawn in such locations. Upon killing the crocodile, it drops the Crocodile Hide Pieces.
How to Get Tar
You will need to head into the Cursed Swamp region. This area unlocks after you progress through the main story and defeat the Foothills boss. Once that’s done, you will usually receive a quest that points you straight to your first Cursed Swamp.
Go to the Swamp Biome and then look around for trees known as Tar Wood trees, which are different from normal trees. They can be found all over the swamp area. In order to cut down these trees, you will need an Iron Axe. When you chop down Tar Wood trees, you will start collecting Tar.
