How to get the Laboratory in Enshrouded¶

When you complete the Crafter’s quest leading to the Kindlewastes, you’ll eventually get told about the Scientific Instruments. The Scientific Instruments quest leads you through various POIs through the Kindlewastes, eventually ending at the Eldermere Dam Excavation Site. This location is directly east of the Nomad Highlands Tower. Travel directly east, and enter the shroud-filled chasm you can see in the distance. Continue to travel east and you’ll begin to arrive in an open valley with no shroud, with the excavation site built into the mountain. Look for the large birds next to the east side of the Excavation site, and you’ll find the Instruments in the nest. Be wary of the Vultures, though, as they are quite tough and numerous.

When you get the Scientific Instruments, you then need to build the Laboratory. You will need several pieces for this, all of which can be built at the Alchemist or through various means in your base.

• Athanor - crafted at the Alchemist.
  • 10 Glass
  • 10 Bronze Bars
  • 5 Lump of Clay
• 40 Fired Bricks
• 10 Copper Bars
• 3 Glass

If you need any refreshers on how to make items, you can make the items as follows:

• Fired Bricks by forging one Wood Log with one Lump of Clay in a Kiln.
• Glass can be formed in the Smelter, which requires 30 Sand and five Charcoal.
• Copper Bars are formed by smelting 20 Charcoal with 20 Copper Ore at the Smelter.
• Bronze Bars are forged by smelting seven Copper Bars with three Tin Bars and 10 Charcoal. You need Tin Ore to make Tin Bars at the Smelter.

We’ve linked to each item’s best farming location of each major piece if you need to stock up on any of these base items.
