## Short answers

### What is the best Enshrouded map?

On 13 Nov 2026 PinDrop's Enshrouded map had 90,756 markers in 207 filters, ore, plant and lore points included; MapGenie had 1,718 in 37 filters and Wand 1,431 in 50. PinDrop also covers the 1.0 region Cinder's Cradle. The official wiki's map did not load for our browser that day.

### Which Enshrouded map tracks what I found without an account?

Of the four sites we measured on 13 Nov 2026, only PinDrop let us tick markers as found without signing in; signing in keeps them across devices. MapGenie and Wand ask you to log in first. The wiki's progress tracking could not be tried because its map data did not load.

### Is there an Enshrouded skill planner or crafting calculator?

PinDrop has both, measured 13 Nov 2026: a skill-tree planner with all 243 nodes of the 1.0 tree, and a crafting calculator that follows every recipe down to raw materials across 2,390 recipes. The official wiki has a crafting calculator, last edited in May 2025, and links out for skill trees.

### Is PinDrop free, and does it have ads?

PinDrop is free and needs no account. It does show ads: on 13 Nov 2026 its Enshrouded map made 20 ad requests in the first 12 seconds on a phone against 5 on Wand, and a consent banner covered 46% of the screen. Wand also offers an overlay app and 14 languages.

## How we measured

Fresh headless Chromium, clean profile, no account, from Germany. Phone rows on a 390 × 844 screen, others at 1440 × 900. Page weight and ad requests: the first 12 seconds, consent not answered. Category score = 5 × (yes + ½ × partly) ÷ measured rows, rounded to 0.5; a row we could not measure is left out, never counted as a no.

- **Markers on the map**: Every marker the Embervale map offers, counted from the site's filter panel or map data. Yes = at least 75% of the highest count measured, partly = 40–75%, no = under 40%.
- **40+ filter categories**: At least 40 marker categories that can be switched on and off.
- **Mark markers as found, no account**: A visitor can tick markers as found and hide them, without signing in. Only after signing in = partly.
- **1.0 region (Cinder's Cradle) on the map**: The region added in 1.0 is on the map with its markers. A few markers that mention it = partly.
- **Map fills a phone screen**: On a 390 × 844 screen, after the consent window is answered, the map takes most of the screen with no button to press first.
- **1,000+ database pages**: Pages about the game's items, gear, resources, bosses and places. Ours: the Enshrouded pages in our sitemap; the wiki: the article count it states.
- **Skill-tree planner**: Plan a build on the skill tree on the site itself.
- **Crafting calculator down to raw materials**: Pick an item, get the full tree or the total raw materials.
- **Build pages**: Ready-made builds on the site itself.
- **Whole map without an account**: Every map layer is free and opens without signing in.
- **Map page under 3.5 MB on first load**: Bytes transferred in the first 12 seconds of the map page on a 390 × 844 phone screen, first visit, consent not answered (3.5 MB = 3,584 KB).
- **10 or fewer ad requests**: Requests to ad and ad-tech hosts in the first 12 seconds of the map page on a phone, consent not answered. The count after pressing Accept is shown for reference.
- **No pop-up over 30% of a phone screen**: On the first visit on a 390 × 844 screen, nothing covers more than 30% of it.
- **5+ languages**: Languages the site can be read in, from its language switch or its alternate-language links.
- **Desktop or in-game overlay app**: The site offers its own app for the desktop or an overlay over the game.
- **Progress synced to an account**: Found markers can be kept in an account across devices. We did not sign in anywhere: this is what the site offers.

### Not measured, and why

- Enshrouded Wiki · Markers on the map: The wiki map's marker data request (api.php, queryDataMap) was refused with HTTP 403 to our browser on 3 loads, so the map showed "Couldn't load data"
- Enshrouded Wiki · Mark markers as found, no account: A "Progress tracking" switch is listed, but it could not be tried: the wiki map's marker data request (api.php, queryDataMap) was refused with HTTP 403 to our browser on 3 loads, so the map showed "Couldn't load data"
- Enshrouded Wiki · Whole map without an account: No account is asked, but the map's markers did not load for our browser (HTTP 403)
- Enshrouded Wiki · Progress synced to an account: Its map's "Progress tracking" could not be tried: the marker data did not load (HTTP 403)
