In Enshrouded 1.0, you make Violet Fabric by combining 1 Fabric and 1 Mauveine at the Hunter, with a Loom placed by the Hunter. Both the Violet Fabric and Mauveine recipes unlock when you finish the Alchemist quest “Alchemic Wisdom”.
Quick answer: Finish the Alchemist quest “Alchemic Wisdom”, make Mauveine at the Laboratory (5 Tar, 1 Shroud Vapor, 1 Nitrate, 1 Sulfur for 5), then combine 1 Fabric and 1 Mauveine at the Hunter with a Loom placed.
Violet Fabric recipe
Violet Fabric is a common material at item level 33, and it stacks to 250. Its item text reads “A luscious, dyed fabric, usually reserved for creating the finest garments.” The in-game hint points you to the “Huntress”. Every other Hunter recipe is in all Hunter recipes.
How to unlock Violet Fabric
Neither recipe is available from the start. Both unlock together when you complete “Alchemic Wisdom”, an Alchemist quest with a recommended level of 25. Its steps run in this order:
- Reach The City Behind The Mountain Range
- Search In The Lighthouse
- Follow The Vultures To Their Nest
- Search The Quarry Vulture Nests
- Combine The Pieces In A Frame
The quest’s reward is the Ripped Alchemist’s Wall Hanging. Every other Alchemist quest is in the all quests list.
Mauveine recipe
Mauveine is the violet dye, a common material at item level 33. Its description reads “A violet dye, often used in the creation of opulent garments for royals.” You make it at the Laboratory, and one craft gives you five. The full Mauveine recipe and its other uses are in how to get Mauveine and Flammable Goo, and the Shroud Vapor it needs is in how to get Shroud Vapor.
- 5 Tar
- 1 Shroud Vapor
- 1 Nitrate
- 1 Sulfur
Fabric for Violet Fabric
The other half of the recipe is plain Fabric, a common material at item level 25. You weave it on the Loom from 2 Linen per piece. Linen in turn is spun from Flax, and how much Flax each craft takes depends on the tool.
| Spinning tool | Flax per craft |
|---|---|
| Hand Spindle | 2 |
| Spinning Wheel | 1 |
| Spinning Machine | 10 |
Fabric can come from drops as well: Scavenger Hounds and Wolves may drop it.
Cost of one batch of Violet Fabric
Because a single Mauveine craft produces five dye, the cleanest way to plan is in batches of five. Here’s what 5 Violet Fabric takes in total.
| Component | Amount for 5 Violet Fabric |
|---|---|
| Fabric | 5 (made from 10 Linen) |
| Mauveine | One craft uses 5 Tar, 1 Shroud Vapor, 1 Nitrate, and 1 Sulfur. |
Every Violet Fabric use (17 recipes)
Violet Fabric goes into 17 recipes across four crafters: Hunter armor, Alchemist hats, Carpenter furniture and Bard decorations. The three Alchemist hats are the hungriest, at 4 Violet Fabric each, more than any other recipe. The Enshrouded Cyclops Eye in the hats and hoods comes from the Fell Cyclops, and the Bard’s Flag Poles are in all Bard, Collector and Fisher recipes.
| Item | Crafter | Violet Fabric | Other materials |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frostbite Slasher Chest | Hunter | 1 | 2 Critter Carapace, 2 Warm Padding, 4 Amethyst, 3 Silver Bars |
| Frostbite Slasher Hood | Hunter | 1 | 1 Enshrouded Cyclops Eye, 1 Warm Padding, 2 Glimmer Gentian |
| Alpine Antler Chest | Hunter | 2 | 2 Critter Carapace, 2 Warm Padding, 4 Amethyst, 3 Silver Bars |
| Trailblazer Chest | Hunter | 2 | 2 Critter Carapace, 2 Warm Padding, 4 Amethyst, 3 Silver Bars |
| Trailblazer Hood | Hunter | 2 | 1 Enshrouded Cyclops Eye, 1 Warm Padding, 2 Glimmer Gentian |
| Hailcaster Hat | Alchemist | 4 | 1 Enshrouded Cyclops Eye, 1 Warm Padding, 1 Stapelia Starflower |
| Pearlfrost Mentor Hat | Alchemist | 4 | 1 Enshrouded Cyclops Eye, 1 Warm Padding, 1 Stapelia Starflower |
| Thaumaturge Hat | Alchemist | 4 | 1 Enshrouded Cyclops Eye, 1 Warm Padding, 1 Glimmer Gentian |
| Boreal Wood Bed | Carpenter | 1 | 6 Nails, 6 Conifer Logs, 3 String, 10 Straw, 4 Fabric |
| Magnificent Granite Stone Chair | Carpenter | 1 | 1 Silver Bars, 1 Obsidian, 4 Granite |
| Flag Pole I to VI (six recipes) | Bard | 1 | 4 Conifer Logs, 2 String, 1 each of Green, Red, Yellow and Blue Fabric |
| Violet Party Hat | Bard | 1 | 1 Linen |
If you’re chasing a full set of Alchemist headgear, budget for 4 Violet Fabric for each of the three hats. That is 12 Violet Fabric, so three Mauveine crafts (15 Mauveine) before you even touch the Hunter armor or the Bard’s six Flag Poles.
