How to Get the Padded Cloth
To make Padded Cloth in the game, you’ll need a Loom that’s been upgraded with a Loom Harness. This upgrade lets you combine different materials into more advanced textiles.
Once you’ve got both the Loom and the Harness, crafting is simple. Just interact with the Loom to open its menu, then place one Rough Cloth and one Wool Cloth into the input slots. Hit the start button, and you’ll get one Padded Cloth in return.
How to Get the Hard Leather
To craft Hard Leather, you’ll need a Tanner’s Kit. While the recipe mentions that you can use a Tannery, don’t be fooled the Tannery only has one crafting slot, but Hard Leather requires two. That’s where the Tanner’s Kit comes in it gives you the extra space you need. Once you’ve got the right setup, just combine one Adhesive with two pieces of Leather, and you’ll get Hard Leather.
How to Get the Vault Shards
Vault Shards are a rare and valuable resource, and you’ll only find them inside Vaults. They’re crucial for crafting things like the Furnace and other important items. You can get Vault Shards in two ways: by opening chests inside the Vaults or by defeating Vault Sentinels, the tough enemies that guard them. There are six Vaults spread throughout the DragonWilds, one in each major area.
How to Get the Silver Bars
Silver Ore can be mined from Silver Deposits located in the Bloodblight Swamp. Once you’ve gathered some, you can smelt it into Silver Bars using a Furnace. To get started, you’ll need access to both a furnace and an anvil. When you’re ready, interact with the furnace, place the required ingredients into the input slots, and hit the smelt button. If everything is in place, you’ll successfully create Silver Bars.
