Where To Find Resin: Walkthrough

1. Attack Trees

Use a bladed weapon to destroy a tree, and it will drop Wood Logs and sometimes Resin. This works on ordinary trees, but also hardwood trees that you find deeper into the game.

You aren't guaranteed Resin, but the chance is quite high. I generally found that I would get Resin from every other tree.

Resin has a chance to drop before the tree is completely destroyed, as above.

2. Collect Resin

Simply approach the Resin and interact with it to collect. You will know that you have successfully collected Resin in Enshrouded because you get a notification whenever you pick something up. You can see a notification for Resin on the left of this screenshot:
