How to Find Tar in Windrose

If you are looking to upgrade your home base and fortify your structures, you have come to the right place! Tar is a fantastic resource in Windrose that will help you take your pirate adventures and crafting to the next level.

Let’s dive into exactly how you can find it and what amazing upgrades it unlocks!

Heading South to the Cursed Swamps

To start your tar-gathering journey, you will want to progress a bit through the game's main story and regions. Once you have successfully completed the first and second biomes, you will be ready to head into the third area: the Cursed Swamps.

• How to get there: Simply head south from the second biome. You will know you have arrived when the landscape shifts into a unique, atmospheric swamp environment.
• Handy Tip: Unlocking the fast travel points when you first arrive in this zone is highly recommended! It will save you a lot of running around later on.

Harvesting Your Tarwood

Once you are exploring the swamp, keep your eyes peeled for a distinct type of tree populating the landscape. These are Tarwood trees, and they are your main source for tar!

• Tool Requirement: Because these trees are quite sturdy, you will need to craft and equip an Iron Axe to chop them down.
• Gathering: Once you have your axe ready, simply harvest the trees as normal, and you will see tar added directly to your inventory.

Unlocking Tier 4 Crafting

Now that you have gathered this valuable resource, you are ready for some incredible base upgrades. Tar is the key ingredient needed to unlock Tier 4 crafting in the game. Specifically, you will now be able to craft:

• Tarred Planks (listed in-game as t blank)
• Tarred Fabric (listed in-game as t fabric)

These premium materials are essential for building robust, sturdy structures that can easily withstand the elements and keep your base safe.
