Wax
Wax is a valuable crafting material in Enshrouded, primarily used in the creation of candles, torches, and certain alchemical concoctions. Its flammable properties and ability to hold a flame make it essential for providing light in dark environments and for crafting items that require a stable source of illumination or a specific binding agent.
The primary source of Wax in Enshrouded is from defeated insects, particularly bees and wasps. These creatures are often found in forested areas, near beehives, or in caves. When you defeat these insects, they will drop Wax as a loot item. It's advisable to be well-equipped for combat, as these creatures can swarm and deal significant damage. Look for beehives, which are often found hanging from trees or on cliff faces, as these are concentrated sources of insect enemies.
Obtaining Wax:
- Defeat bees and wasps.
- Look for beehives in forests and on cliffs.
- Collect Wax from their loot drops.
When hunting for Wax, it's a good idea to bring a weapon that can deal with multiple targets quickly, as insect enemies often appear in groups. Some areas might have a higher concentration of these creatures, making them ideal hunting grounds for a steady supply of Wax. Be mindful of your surroundings, as some of these areas can also be inhabited by other dangerous creatures.
