Mauveine and Flammable Goo are both Laboratory crafts in Enshrouded, and they share a single unlock. Once you have them, they feed into Flame Altar upgrades, trousers, arrows, dyes and more, so the first job is finishing the quest that opens both recipes at once.
Quick answer: The Alchemist’s Alchemic Wisdom quest makes both Laboratory recipes available. 5 Tar, 1 Shroud Vapor, 1 Nitrate and 1 Sulfur make 5 Mauveine; 5 Tar, 1 Shroud Vapor, 1 Coal and 1 Goo make 5 Flammable Goo.
Unlock both recipes with Alchemic Wisdom
The Alchemist’s Alchemic Wisdom task centers on recovering both pieces of the Ripped Alchemist’s Wall Hanging in the Albaneve Summits and mounting them in a frame at your base. Completing the collection makes Mauveine and another Laboratory recipe available; the other recipe is Flammable Goo.
You only need to put this collection together once on a server; its crafting recipes are available to everyone on that server.
Craft Shroud Vapor first
Both recipes need Shroud Vapor, so make a supply before you start. Shroud Vapor is crafted at the Laboratory from 10 Enshrouded Ice, 15 Active Mycelium and 20 Salt, producing 5 in 135 seconds. The recipe unlocks once you have picked up Enshrouded Ice. Its item text reads “A potent base for crafting potions of various kinds.”
How to make Mauveine
From the Laboratory menu, choose Mauveine. Put in 5 Tar, 1 Shroud Vapor, 1 Nitrate and 1 Sulfur; after 300 seconds, collect 5 Mauveine. This level 33 Common material has a stack limit of 250.
Mauveine’s item text reads “A violet dye, often used in the creation of opulent garments for royals.”
How to make Flammable Goo
Select Flammable Goo in the Laboratory menu. Put in 5 Tar, 1 Shroud Vapor, 1 Coal and 1 Goo. After 300 seconds, collect 5 Flammable Goo. It is a level 33 Common material with a stack limit of 250.
Flammable Goo is described as “A sticky and highly flammable substance. Handle with care!”
