Corn in Enshrouded is the Corncob. You pick it from corn plants across the Springlands, and once you have one, you can grow more at the Seedbed.
Quick answer: Pick a Corncob from any Springlands corn plant. Then craft 1 Corncob + 1 Farm Soil + 1 Water at the Seedbed to get 5 Corn Seedlings.

Corn locations on the map
The Corncob is a common food item with a stack limit of 20, and its in-game hint directs you to the Springlands. The hint is accurate: across the map, 56 corn locations contain about 140 plants. Of these locations, 55 lie in Springlands, while the sole other one is at Veilwater Basin. On the interactive map, enable the Corncob layer to display every location.
The spots cluster around a handful of landmarks, so a few stops cover most of them:
| Area | Corn spots |
|---|---|
| Hero’s Grave | 9 |
| Ruins camps | 8 |
| Embervale Museum vault | 6 |
| Farm | 4, right by it |
| Temple Ruin | 3 |
| Midhollow | 2 |
| Springlands Sky Port | 2 |
Single spots are scattered near these places:
- The Carpenter, Alchemist and Hunter Ancient Vaults
- Fort Kelvin, Westcott, Ferndale and Woodgard
- The Mistbury Catacombs
- The Abandoned Hunter Camp
The item text describes the cob as a crop you can dry, grill or eat raw:
“A very versatile crop that can be dried, grilled, or consumed raw, strengthening the consumer for a short duration.”
Eaten raw, a Corncob gives Melee Damage +3%.
Every corn spot and the Springlands landmarks around them are on our interactive Enshrouded map.
How to grow corn at the Seedbed
Each corn plant gives one harvest and then it’s done, so hold back some of the cobs you collect and run them through the Seedbed again to keep the field going.
Corn dishes and their buffs
Cooking the Corncob raises its buff well past the raw +3%. Six dishes use it:
| Dish | Station | Ingredients | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roasted Corncob | Cooking Station | 1 Corncob | Melee Damage +6% |
| Meat and Corncob Skewer | Hand-craft, then grill | 1 Corncob + 1 Raw Lean Meat | Health +30, Health Regeneration +3, Melee Damage +9% |
| Popcorn (makes 5) | Kitchen | 5 Corncob + 1 Honey | Stamina Regeneration +20, Melee Damage +4% |
| Stir-Fried Vegetables (makes 5) | Kitchen | 5 Corncob, 5 Forest Beet, 5 Tomato, 5 Bell Pepper, 3 Spice | Ranged Damage +15%, Dagger Damage +15%, Stamina Regeneration +12 |
| Fried Rice (makes 5) | Kitchen | 5 Cooked Rice, 5 Eggs, 3 Bell Pepper, 3 Corncob, 2 Raw Taro | Melee Damage +21%, Stamina +10 |
| Fish Chowder (makes 5) | Kitchen | 3 Corncob, 2 fish, 5 Forest Beet, 5 Milk, 2 Flour | Health +30, Maximum Oxygen +30, Stamina +15, Stamina Regeneration +6 |
For the skewer, you first hand-craft the Raw Meat and Corncob Skewer, then grill it. Popcorn is made at the Kitchen, which needs a Cooking Station nearby. Fish Chowder takes any two of Crimsonback, Emberfin or Waveleaper.
If you want a melee buff, Fried Rice gives the most at +21%. Stir-Fried Vegetables gives the most ranged and dagger damage of the corn dishes, at +15% each. Popcorn trades damage for stamina, and its item text says as much: “Greatly regenerates Stamina upon consumption. Delightful and sweet.”
Corn in animal food and bait
The Farmer uses the Corncob for three animal foods, each crafted in batches of 50:
| Animal food | Ingredients | Makes |

| Goat Food | 4 Plant Fiber + 1 Corncob | 50 |
| Hophare Food | 1 Hazelnut + 1 Strawberry + 3 Corncob | 50 |
| Yak Food | 1 Yucca Fruit + 3 Corncob + 1 Dried Purple Berry | 50 |
Corncob also goes into five baits, each made in batches of 10:
- Goat Food Bait: 1 Honey + 3 Plant Fiber + 1 Corncob
- Hophare Food Bait: 1 Forest Beet + 1 Hazelnut + 1 Strawberry + 2 Corncob
- Fae Deer Food Bait: 1 Corncob plus other crops
- Bird Food Bait: 1 Corncob plus other crops
