Enshrouded 1.0: How to Get Enshrouded Oil

To get Enshrouded Oil in Enshrouded 1.0, you must defeat the Fell Wyvern boss in the Blackmire region, then extract the oil from its corpse using a Hunter’s Crossbow or any weapon with the “Harvester” skill. You can also find small amounts in chests scattered across the Blackmire and the Sunken Temple, but the Wyvern is the only reliable source for the large quantities needed for late-game crafting.

Formula

The total amount of Enshrouded Oil you can expect is simply the number of Wyvern kills multiplied by the oil you harvest from each kill:

Total Oil = Kills × Oil per Kill

Where:

• Kills – number of times you defeat the Fell Wyvern (integer, at least 1)
• Oil per Kill – how many Enshrouded Oil units you extract from one corpse (typically 2–4, depending on your harvesting skill and luck)

The result is in the same unit as the input (units of Enshrouded Oil).

Worked Example

Using the default values: you kill the Wyvern once and harvest 3 oil from it.

1. Kills = 1
2. Oil per kill = 3
3. Total = 1 × 3 = 3 Enshrouded Oil

If you kill it twice and get 3 each time, you have 6 oil.

Where Enshrouded Oil Comes From

Enshrouded Oil is a late-game crafting material introduced in the 1.0 update. It is used primarily for endgame armor sets, weapons, and building pieces that require high-tier materials. Unlike early-game resources like resin or metal scrap, you cannot find it lying around in the open world. It only drops from a specific boss and a few high-level chests.

How to Defeat the Fell Wyvern

The Fell Wyvern is located in the Blackmire region, in the southeastern part of the map. You need to reach the boss arena at the top of a ruined tower. Before you go, prepare:

• At least 20 health potions and 10 mana potions
• A ranged weapon (bow or staff) for its flying phase
• Fire resistance gear or potions – the Wyvern breathes fire
• A grappler hook to reach the arena (you can grapple onto ledges)

The fight is a typical boss encounter: dodge its fire breath, attack its head when it lands, and use the pillars for cover. Once it dies, you can harvest the corpse with any weapon – but the amount you get depends on your harvesting skill.

Harvesting the Oil

After the Wyvern dies, walk up to its body and press the interact button (E on PC). You will see a prompt to “Harvest”. Using a weapon with the Harvester skill (from the Survival skill tree) increases the yield. Without it, you get only 1–2 oil per kill; with it, you can get 3–4. The oil is added directly to your inventory.

Important: The corpse disappears after about 60 seconds, so harvest immediately. If you miss it, you have to wait for the boss to respawn – which happens after a few in-game days or when you leave and re-enter the area.

Alternative Sources

If you cannot defeat the Wyvern yet, there are two other ways to get small amounts of Enshrouded Oil:

• Chests in Blackmire: High-level chests in the Blackmire region (especially in the Sunken Temple) have a chance to drop 1–2 oil. The chance is low, but you can farm them.
• Vendor purchase: The Nomad vendor in the Blackmire outpost occasionally sells Enshrouded Oil for gold. Check his stock after each restock (every 2 in-game days).

These sources are not reliable for bulk crafting – you will still need to farm the Wyvern for large amounts.

Common Mistakes and Misconceptions

Many players think Enshrouded Oil drops from regular enemies in the Blackmire – it does not. Only the Fell Wyvern drops it consistently. Another mistake is using a low-level weapon to harvest; the yield is the same regardless of weapon damage, but the Harvester skill is what matters. Also, the oil does not stack in your inventory – it takes one slot per unit, so clear space before farming.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get Enshrouded Oil from the Fell Wyvern more than once?

Yes, the boss respawns after a few in-game days or when you leave and re-enter the area. You can farm it repeatedly for as much oil as you need.

Do I need a specific weapon to harvest the oil?

No, any weapon works. However, having the Harvester skill from the Survival tree increases the yield. Without it, you get less oil per kill.

Is Enshrouded Oil used for anything besides crafting?

No, it is purely a crafting material. It is used in high-tier armor, weapons, and building pieces, but not for consumables or quests.

How much oil do I need for the best armor?

For the top-tier armor set (the Radiant set), you need about 12–15 units. For a full set of weapons and tools, you might need 20–30. Plan to farm the Wyvern at least 5–10 times.

Can I trade Enshrouded Oil with other players?

Yes, if you are playing co-op, you can drop oil on the ground for other players to pick up. There is no trade UI, but dropping works.

Does the oil expire or disappear from my inventory?

No, it is a permanent item. It does not spoil or vanish, so you can stockpile it.
