There are 14 different types of Plant Fibres that you can find in Nightingale, most of which can be found in all of the three major biomes in the form of Desert, Swamp, and Forest. However, some are restricted to specific biomes, such as Flax which can only be found in Swamp biomes, and Jute which can only be found in Forest biomes. Plant Fibre is used in several different kinds of recipes in the game, ranging from building materials to armor pieces, so you’ll always need a good stock of it in your Abeyance realm storage. You’ll also need basic Plant Fibres to craft some of the more complex materials at crafting stations such as the Spinning Wheel, which you can use to craft Refined Fibre and Twine.

Plant Fibre Locations Chart¶

The table below provides all the essential information about the different types of Plant Fibres that you can find in Nightingale. You’ll see the material type, the realm location (or biome) that they can be found in, and the likely realm power/realm card associated with each. Note that the realm power doesn’t indicate the level required to harvest a specific type of plant fibre. It only indicates the level of the realm where you’re most likely to find it. The same goes for the minimum realm card. Thankfully, in the case of plant fibres, you can find most of them in all biomes and realm tiers, but as you might expect, there’s more variety in Forest biomes where you’ll find the most amount of dense foliage.

It’s important to remember that when you’re harvesting most forms of plant fibre above the basic Crude stuff, you’ll need a Sickle to get it. As you explore the higher tier realms, you’ll notice that you need a better quality sickle, with a higher gear score, before you can harvest them. The easiest way to check which level of sickle you’ll need is by approaching a patch of foliage and hovering over it. You should see a red sickle icon with a number next to it if you can’t harvest it yet. The number indicates the level of sickle that you need (in terms of Gear Score).

Another thing to note about the different tiers of plant fibres is that you’ll often find them beneath trees that stick out (visually) from the rest. For example, Tier 1 plant fibres are often found beneath white trees in all biomes, so you can easily glance around your surroundings, look for white trees, and travel toward them without having to check each and every plant fibre that you come across. The same applies to higher-tier realms, so you should keep an eye out for any foliage that looks different from the majority.

With all that said, you can use the table above as a quick guide for where to find specific types of plant fibre. As already noted, you can find most of this in the same biomes, so you shouldn’t need to worry too much if you just need a specific tier of plant fibre for a particular recipe. You’ll know if you’re not at the right level for it when you first encounter it, and all you need to do is upgrade your sickle from there.
