Enshrouded Quest Order: Unlock Every Crafter & Station

One row per crafter. "Needs first" is the survivor who hands out the rescue quest. "Level" is the lowest recommended level among that crafter's main quests, or "not set" when the files give none. Every rescue ends with summoning the survivor in your base, which the journal says needs a Summoning Staff. Quests with a page of ours are linked; the rest are in the quest list.

Nothing in the files puts the Blacksmith first, but his quests carry the lowest recommended levels (3 for the Glider and the Grappling Hook) and he makes the weapons and armour you start with. Oswald Anders knows 223 recipes. The rescue quest is Find the Sleeping Survivor: its first marker is Ancient Vault — Blacksmith in Springlands, open it on the map. More on Oswald Anders's page.

After the rescue, do these quests in this order (lowest recommended level first). "Recipes" counts the recipes in the files that need the station standing next to a crafter.

She has no giver either, and her Hand Spindle quest (level 10) is the next recommended level. She must come before the Farmer, whose rescue quest she hands out. Athalan Skree knows 275 recipes. The rescue quest is Hunter Becomes The Hunted: its first marker is Ancient Vault — Hunter in Springlands, open it on the map.

After the rescue, do these quests in this order (lowest recommended level first). "Recipes" counts the recipes in the files that need the station standing next to a crafter.

Also no giver. She must come before the Carpenter and the Collector, whose rescue quests she hands out. Balthazar knows 247 recipes. The rescue quest is Powerful Alchemy: its first marker is Ancient Vault — Alchemist in Springlands, open it on the map. More on Balthazar's page.

After the rescue, do these quests in this order (lowest recommended level first). "Recipes" counts the recipes in the files that need the station standing next to a crafter.

Her rescue quest comes from the Hunter, so the Hunter is the one hard requirement. Emily Fray knows 135 recipes. The rescue quest is Growing Stronger Together: its first marker is Ancient Vault — Farmer in Springlands, open it on the map. More on Emily Fray's page.

After the rescue, do these quests in this order (lowest recommended level first). "Recipes" counts the recipes in the files that need the station standing next to a crafter.

His rescue quest comes from the Alchemist. He is worth the wait: his two props open the most recipes of any station in the game. Cade Hawthorn knows 338 recipes. The rescue quest is Carpentry Assistance: its first marker is Ancient Vault — Carpenter in Springlands, open it on the map. More on Cade Hawthorn's page.

After the rescue, do these quests in this order (lowest recommended level first). "Recipes" counts the recipes in the files that need the station standing next to a crafter.

His rescue quest also comes from the Alchemist and is recommended at level 13, but he knows the fewest recipes of the seven, so he can wait. Alden Crowley knows 81 recipes. The rescue quest is Explore The Hollow Halls: its first marker is Hollow Halls in Springlands, open it on the map.

After the rescue, do these quests in this order (lowest recommended level first). "Recipes" counts the recipes in the files that need the station standing next to a crafter.

No giver. The quest sends you through the passage into the Blackmire, a long trip, and in our order that puts him last. Valory knows 99 recipes. The rescue quest is [Follow The Melody](/enshrouded/quests/follow-the-melody): its first marker is Passage to the Blackmire in Revelwood, open it on the map. More on Valory's page.

This survivor has no station quest of their own in the files.

Three more survivors join through the Flame's own quests: Loraine Crim (Ancient Researcher, 15 recipes, quest Land Of The Sky Islands); Captain Melville Fontane (Fisher, 17 recipes, quest Emerald Shores And Sanguine Seas); Elio Ricci (Barber, 0 recipes, quest Illuminate The Night). The Researcher also hands out the Gem Forge and Infusion Altar quests. They add few recipes, so do them when a quest marker happens to point your way. The assistants (Rochelle Anders, Lady Leclair, Aunt Braelyn and others) have no recipes of their own in the files, so rescuing them adds nothing to crafting.

All 19 station quests, biggest first. "Giver" is who hands the quest out.

Which crafter should I rescue first in Enshrouded? The files do not say. We would start with the Blacksmith: his quests carry the lowest recommended levels (the Glider and the Grappling Hook are level 3). The Blacksmith, Hunter and Alchemist need nobody, so any of them can be first.

Is there a required quest order for the crafters? Three rules only: the Farmer's rescue quest is handed out by the Hunter, and the Carpenter's and the Collector's by the Alchemist. Everything else can be done in any order.

Which quest unlocks the most recipes? In the 1.0 files, the Carpenter's Finding Masonry Tools (173 recipes need its Masonry Tools next to a crafter) and Table Saw For The Carpenter (148).

Do side quests unlock recipes? A few: 2 of the 19 station quests are side quests (Coffee, The Greatest Good, Contraptions And Mechanisms). The rest are main quests of a crafter, and the other side quests reward items, animals or cosmetics.

Quests, givers, levels and rewards are read from the 1.0 game files; the journal steps and their places from the game client. A station's "recipes opened" is the number of recipes that need that prop placed near a crafter (the files call it a crafting requirement); a recipe that needs two quest props counts under both. The files do not store a drop in time or XP for the order, so we do not claim a fastest route. For which regions to visit and when, see the region order guide.
