Your first real crafting station
In Enshrouded, the Workbench is one of the very first things you’ll craft. Without it, most tools, weapons, and upgrades are simply unavailable.
If crafting feels limited, this is why.
What the Workbench Is Used For
The Workbench allows you to:
- Craft core tools and gear
- Unlock new crafting recipes
- Repair weapons and tools for free
You’ll be using it constantly.
Workbench Crafting Requirements
To craft a Workbench, you need:
That’s it.
How to Get the Materials
String
- Crafted from Plant Fiber
- 3 Plant Fibers = 1 String
- Harvest bushes and small plants to get fibers
Wood Logs
- Chop down trees with an Axe
- You may also get Resin as a bonus
Both materials are available within the first few minutes of gameplay.
How to Craft & Place the Workbench
- Open the Crafting Menu
- Craft the Workbench
- Open your inventory
- Place it within the Flame Altar build area
⚠️ The Workbench cannot be placed outside the Flame Altar’s range.
Final Tip
If something can’t be crafted or repaired, the solution is almost always:
“You need a Workbench.”
Craft it early and keep it close to your base center.
