The primary purpose of crafting a well in Enshrouded is to provide a reliable source of water for your character. Finding the well recipe is essential since dehydration leads to health loss, making you more vulnerable to enemies and the environment. It also reduces your stamina regeneration, limiting your ability to run, jump, and fight effectively. Additionally, water is used in various crafting recipes, including food, potions, and other essential items.
How to craft a well in Enshrouded
Having a reliable water source in Enshrouded is important for survival. Manage your hydration level carefully. Dehydration slows your stamina regeneration, impacting your ability to explore and fight. Here’s a step-by-step on getting you started:
Befriend the Mason. Complete the Mason’s questline to gain access to “Masonry Tools.” This unlocks well crafting.
To Craft a Well in Enshrouded you need to gather the following materials:
- Linen x20: This requires a farmer NPC and a seedbed. You can farm Flax plants or find them growing in the wild.
- Stone x100: This is abundant in most areas. Use a pickaxe to gather it.
- Wooden Bucket x1: Craft this using 2 Wood Planks, 1 Metal Sheet, and 1 Charcoal.
Now to finally craft the well players need find the carpenter. You can easily locate the Carpenter NPC and interact with their crafting menu. Choose the Well Blueprint – look under “Structures” or “Utility Items” for it. Before crafting the well make sure you have all the materials in your inventory and initiate the crafting process.
There are 2 types of wells in Enshrouded:
- A Water Well is a basic well that provides 5 water units per scoop.
- An Improved Water Well holds more water (10 units) and recharges faster.
While an Improved Water Well looks like a better option players should remember that it requires Sandstone and Iron Bars which are late-game resources.
Besides crafting a well you can also utilize Rainwater for enhanced water supply. In the Early game, Abandoned Villages are a good source of water too. Utilize wells in ruined settlements like Longkeep and Rookmore.
