Resin is a crafting material in Enshrouded that you gather rather than build. It comes bundled with the wood you pull from felled trees, and it also drops from the Vukah. You cannot craft it; trees, Vukah, and locked material chests can provide it. Its item description reads: “This protective juice of trees has many functions. First and foremost, serving the cause of the trees!”
Quick answer: Use an Axe to fell a tree, then search the log pile left behind. It yields Wood Logs and frequently 1 or 2 Resin. A Vukah has roughly a 33% chance of dropping 1 to 3 Resin.
Get Resin by chopping trees
Trees are the steadiest source. You need an Axe before you can harvest, and the first Axe is made from Twigs, Stone, and String. String is made from Plant Fiber. You can pick up Twigs near your first Flame Altar and turn Plant Fiber into String to finish the tool.
Farm Resin from Vukah
Vukah provide another way to get Resin. On defeat, each variety has roughly 33% odds of yielding 1 to 3 Resin. Fallen Vukah bodies in the Nomad Highlands, Springlands, Kindlewastes and Blackmire can be looted for Resin, and locked material chests can also hold Resin.
- Vukah, Vukah Ranger, Vukah Bonehunter, and Vukah Bonebreaker each drop 1 to 3 Resin at about a 33% chance.
- Their main habitats are the Nomad Highlands and Blackmire.
- Some camps also sit in the Springlands.
You can check camp placements and region borders on the interactive map before you set out.
