Torn Cloth
Torn Cloth is a fundamental crafting material in Enshrouded, essential for creating early-game armor, bandages, and various other useful items. You'll primarily acquire Torn Cloth by harvesting specific plants and by breaking down certain enemy drops. Ensuring a consistent supply of Torn Cloth is vital for maintaining your character's health and for crafting basic protective gear as you begin your journey.
The most common source of Torn Cloth is by harvesting Flax. Flax plants are typically found in temperate biomes, often growing in fields or near settlements. Look for the distinctive tall, slender plants with blue flowers. Once you locate a patch of Flax, equip your axe or a harvesting tool and begin gathering. Each Flax plant harvested will yield Torn Cloth.
Another method for obtaining Torn Cloth is by defeating certain enemies. Some weaker enemies, particularly those found in the early game, may drop Torn Cloth upon defeat. Keep an eye out for these drops, especially if you're in need of this material and can't immediately find Flax. Looting containers and chests can also sometimes yield Torn Cloth.
Torn Cloth is used in several essential crafting recipes. At the Workbench, you can craft bandages, which are crucial for healing yourself in combat. It's also used to craft basic armor pieces, such as the Linen Set, which provides a small but important boost to your physical defense and resistance. As you progress, Torn Cloth may also be used in more complex recipes for crafting furniture or other utility items.
It's advisable to gather a good amount of Torn Cloth whenever you encounter Flax. You'll find yourself using it frequently in the early to mid-game. If you plan on establishing a base, consider planting Flax yourself using Seed Beds once you have access to the Farmer's Workbench. This will ensure a renewable and readily available source of Torn Cloth for all your crafting needs.
