How To Get Shaped Wood In Conan Exiles

Wood is a highly valuable resource as it's easily accessible due to the high concentration of trees in The Exiled Lands and the Isle of Siptah. Nevertheless, players should be able to collect plenty of wood that can be used in many ways, from building and reinforcing their base to crafting workbenches.

Shaped Wood is one of the by-products which requires you to process wooden pieces into Shaped Wood planks, but knowing how to achieve this is what players want to know. This guide explains everything about this material, from the best farming locations to getting Shaped Wood in Conan Exiles.

How To Get Shaped Wood In Conan Exiles

As mentioned earlier, Shaped Wood is an essential resource during the mid-game in Conan Exiles to further bolster structures and craft various furnishings. As necessary Shaped Wood is for construction purposes, it can also be utilized in producing weapons and tools, most notably picks, sickles, and the hafts of axes.

Shaped Wood isn’t a material that can be easily acquired as you’ll need to farm wood before converting them into wooden planks before it can be used in construction. As mentioned in our guide on bark and resin, you can acquire wood by using a pick or pickaxe on trees, dry trees, and logs to collect as much wood as possible.

If you’re on a farming route for resin, we suggest getting wood simultaneously as it saves you time in farming resin separately. Likewise, if you’re farming resin, you may need to use a pick as you’ll gain more resin than when using a pickaxe.

Trees can be readily found throughout The Exiled Lands, and if you’re out looking to get wood and resin, we suggest using the exact farming locations for resin. Therefore, you have a better chance of getting these resources in the Highlands (E9/10 - I8) and Tundra (A11/12 - D9/10) biomes.

Turning the wood pieces into Shaped Wood requires the Carpenter’s Bench and improved versions of this workbench. Before converting the wood to Shaped Wood and crafting after that, you must have learned the Carpenter Knowledge to get the blueprint for the Carpenter’s Bench, which needs to be built and placed anywhere on your base.

Placing ten pieces of wood on this workbench will craft one Shaped Wood plank, which can be used in construction and other crafting purposes. Shaped Wood can be used to craft various furnishings when placing it on the Construction Hammer workbench, for which you have other required materials like Wood, Hardened Brick, Twine, Steel, and Iron Reinforcements, to name.

One of the essential uses for Shaped Wood is crafting other workbenches, including the Compost Heap, Dryer, Fish Trap, and Fluid Press. Additionally, you can build various Improved workbenches, including the Alchemist and Carpenter Benches, Fish and Shellfish traps, Tanner’s Table, and Tannery, provided you have the necessary materials to craft them.

Lastly, you can build Stables for taming foals into horses and the Wheel of Pain for converting human NPCs into Thralls. Various weapons can also be crafted using Shaped Wood like the Acheronian Pick and Sickle, Ancient,  Hardened, and Star Metal weapons and tools.
