Shadowbloom is a level 25 Uncommon material in Enshrouded that only shows itself in the dark. The plant grows in the Kindlewastes, and its petals stay invisible during the day, so you have to be out gathering at night. In the words of its item text, “The Shadowbloom is one of the few plants resistant to the Kindlewastes heat. Their bright orange glowing petals are only visible at night and are used to make vibrant colors.”
Quick answer: At night, use fast travel to reach the Kindlewastes Ancient Spire, then pick the small orange flowers glowing on the desert floor by hand. Each flower yields 2 or 3 Shadowbloom.
How to harvest Shadowbloom in the Kindlewastes
The flowers cannot be seen in daylight, so you need to go at night.
Shadowbloom stacks to 250.
