Yggdrasil Wood

Yggdrasil wood is a Mistlands resource gathered from Yggdrasil shoots, the pale growths found in that biome. It is one of the distinctive late-game building and crafting materials introduced alongside the Mistlands progression, and it is required for a wide range of Dvergr-style constructions, magical stations, and other advanced structures.

Yggdrasil wood is harvested by chopping Yggdrasil shoots with a Black Metal Axe or better. It can also be obtained in small amounts by destroying certain structures in the Mistlands. Like other wood materials, it is a basic building resource once collected, but unlike normal wood it is tied to the biome’s advanced infrastructure and cannot be substituted by earlier-game materials.

It is used in many Mistlands recipes, including:

• Wood piles: Yggdrasil wood x50
• Dvergr Stakewall: Yggdrasil wood x8, Iron x8
• Dvergr stake: Yggdrasil wood x5, Iron x2
• Ballista: Black Metal x10, Yggdrasil wood x10, Mechanical spring x3
• Sap Extractor: Yggdrasil wood x10, Black metal x5, Dvergr Extractor x1
• Black Forge: Black Marble x10, Yggdrasil wood x10, Black Core x5
• Eitr Refinery: Black marble x20, Black metal x5, Yggdrasil wood x10, Black core x5, Sap x3
• Galdr Table: Black metal x10, Yggdrasil wood x20, Black core x5, Refined Eitr x5
• Rune Table: Black marble x10, Yggdrasil wood x5, Refined eitr x10
• Dvergr spiral stairs, left/right: Yggdrasil wood x1, Copper x2
• Hexagonal Gate: Yggdrasil wood x8, Copper x8
• Wisp Torch: Yggdrasil wood x1, Wisp x1

It is also used in several high-tier equipment and weapon crafting recipes, including the Black Forge and Galdr table recipe lines that unlock Mistlands progression, as well as items such as Jotun Bane, Carapace Spear, Himminafl, Demolisher, Staff of Embers, Staff of Frost, and the Staff of Protection.

A few practical points make Yggdrasil wood easy to manage:

• Bring a strong axe before entering the Mistlands, since the resource requires at least Black metal-tier harvesting.
• Collect extra when you can; many Mistlands stations consume it in large quantities.
• Keep some on hand for utility pieces like the Sap extractor and Wisp torch, since these support further Mistlands advancement.
• Yggdrasil wood cannot be burned in a Charcoal Kiln.
