In the immersive world of Enshrouded, players encounter various items that serve both as sources of illumination and as decorative elements within their bases. Fire and light are not only vital for ambiance; they also provide players with a sense of comfort and security. As you embark on your journey, one of the initial methods to brighten up your surroundings involves crafting candles at your starting workbench. Below, we provide a comprehensive guide on how to craft candles and enhance your cozy adobe.

How to Craft Candles in Enshrouded

Candles can be created at a basic workbench once you have access to a fire altar. This crafting process requires minimal ingredients and yields a product that emits a respectable amount of light. Due to their compact size, candles can be conveniently placed on virtually any flat surface, such as tables and shelves.

With just a few candles, you can transform any plain shack into a well-lit shelter. They are especially valuable due to their low material cost; however, acquiring wax may pose a bit of a challenge, as it is sourced from beehives. It’s advisable to carry a torch for protection or utilize a bow to safely harvest this material.

Skull Candle: A Unique Variation

Additionally, the workbench allows you to craft a Skull Candle, which uses a skull as its base to hold wax, offering a more thematic lighting option.

Beyond their standalone utility, candles are also essential components for crafting a range of other items within the game. These advanced crafts typically involve interaction with specific NPCs and cannot be made at the regular workbench.
