In Enshrouded 1.0, you make Shroud Vapor at the Laboratory from 10 Enshrouded Ice, 15 Active Mycelium and 20 Salt, and one batch gives you 5. It’s a Rare material at item level 33 that stacks to 250. You’ll need a steady supply, because it shows up in recipes at three different crafting stations.
Quick answer: Pick up Enshrouded Ice to unlock the recipe, then craft 10 Enshrouded Ice + 15 Active Mycelium + 20 Salt at the Laboratory for 5 Shroud Vapor.
How to make Shroud Vapor
The item description sums up its job: “A potent base for crafting potions of various kinds.” That undersells it a little, since it also goes into wards, Laboratory materials and dyes.
Where to get the Shroud Vapor ingredients
Each of the three ingredients comes from a different part of the map. Two of them are tied to the Shroud.
| Ingredient | Per batch | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|
| Enshrouded Ice | 10 | The Shroud of the Albaneve Summits |
| Active Mycelium | 15 | The Shroud of the Springlands |
| Salt | 20 | The Egerton Salt Mines |
Enshrouded Ice is described in-game as “Frozen, enshrouded liquid that’s cold to the touch. Commonly found in the Shroud of the Albaneve Summits biome.” Active Mycelium carries the text “The active mycelium of mushrooms absorbs the Shroud’s magical properties.” Salt is the largest share of each batch, so bring plenty back from the Egerton Salt Mines.
Shroud Vapor uses at the Alchemist
The Alchemist uses Shroud Vapor for its top-tier potions and one ward.
| Item | Shroud Vapor | Other materials |
|---|---|---|
| Greater Antidote (makes 3) | 3 | 1 Poison Sack, 1 Wolfsbane, 1 Coal Powder |
| Invisible Barrier Ward | 2 | 2 Silver Bars, 1 Amethyst, 1 Enshrouded Cyclops Eye |
| Superior Health Potion | 1 | 1 Honey, 1 Gentian, 1 Chamomile |
| Superior Mana Potion | 1 | 4 Gentian, 1 Moss |
Shroud Vapor uses at the Laboratory
Back at the Laboratory, Shroud Vapor goes into two Tar-based materials. Both recipes take a single unit and return 5.
| Item | Shroud Vapor | Other materials |
|---|---|---|
| Mauveine (makes 5) | 1 | 5 Tar, 1 Nitrate, 1 Sulfur |
| Flammable Goo (makes 5) | 1 | 5 Tar, 1 Coal, 1 Goo |
Mauveine matters beyond dyes. Albaneve armor such as the Hailcaster and Mountain’s Shadow trousers needs it, so Shroud Vapor sits upstream of that gear too.
Shroud Vapor uses at the Coloring Station
Eleven palettes at the Coloring Station each take 1 Shroud Vapor and make 5. The rest of each recipe is listed below.
| Palette | Other materials |
|---|---|
| New Moon | 2 Obsidian Dust, 2 Stapelia Starflower, 1 Granite |
| Snowfall | 2 Brittle Shroud Flakes, 2 Silver Dust, 1 Bonemeal |
| Pinky Promise | 2 Silver Dust, 2 Obsidian Dust, 1 Mauveine |
| Royal Decree | 2 Silver Dust, 2 Brittle Shroud Flakes, 1 Amethyst |
| Lavender Dream | 2 Stapelia Starflower, 2 Wolfsbane, 1 Mauveine |
| Pure Amethyst | 2 Amethyst, 2 Wolfsbane, 1 Mauveine |
| Kingmaker | 2 Silver Dust, 2 Obsidian Dust, 1 Granite |
| Nightshade | 2 Wolfsbane, 2 Obsidian Dust, 1 Glimmer Gentian |
| Lilac Insomnia | 2 Amethyst, 2 Stapelia Starflower, 1 Glimmer Gentian |
| Mysterious Mauve | 2 Amethyst, 2 Obsidian Dust, 1 Mauveine |
| Dusk Amethyst | 2 Amethyst, 2 Obsidian Dust, 1 Granite |
Pinky Promise, Lavender Dream, Pure Amethyst and Mysterious Mauve also call for Mauveine, which is itself made with Shroud Vapor, so those four palettes draw on your Shroud Vapor twice.
