If you want to craft better gear and progress faster in Windrose, Essence Arborum is one material you’ll want to get your hands on. It’s not something you’ll find directly in the world, but once you understand the process, it’s quite easy to make. The main challenge is knowing where to find the right resource and how to turn it into something useful. In this guide, we will tell you how to get Essence Arborum and where to farm the materials you need.
How to Get Essence Arborum

Essence Arborum is a useful material that players can use in crafting certain items. Players will find it helpful when progressing through the game. Once players collect this material, they can create some important items. They can use Essence Arborum to create Fabric Arborum and Hide Arborum, which can be utilised in various pieces of equipment and crafting processes. In addition, players can make Ingot Arborum from Essence Arborum.
Players will need a Smelting Furnace to create Essence Arborum in Windrose. Ideally, it should be the Large Smelting Furnace to smelt materials more efficiently. Crafting Essence Arborum using the Smelting Furnace is simple; players only need to put one Plague Wood inside the furnace to get one Essence Arborum.
It only requires 20 seconds to complete the entire crafting process, making it possible for players to craft three Essence Arborum each minute. Once players have sufficient amounts of Plague Wood, they can easily create Essence Arborum.
How to Find Plague Wood


Plague Wood is a rare material available only from trees growing in areas that have been contaminated with the plague. It can be collected only within the Swamp biome; however, not in any parts of the swamp, but only in those infected by the plague, which can be easily distinguished. Once you find the infected trees, use an Iron Axe to chop them down. That’s all you need to do to collect Plague Wood.
