Enshrouded tin is an essential resource for your progression. With enough tin on your hands, you’ll be able to upgrade your Flame level and discover new regions. Tin is also a required material to create bronze which, in turn, unlocks many new weapons, tools, and armour sets. The only problem? LikeEnshrouded copper, Tin deposits are located far from the Springlands, so it takes some effort to find them.
Here’s how to get tin in Enshrouded, find the best tin locations for quick farming, and smelt tin bars for crafting.

Enshrouded tin is found in the northeastern part of the map, the region called Nomad Highlands. You’ll be able to reach this area once you’ve upgraded your Flame to level 4, which will clear the red shroud blocking your way.
Tin is found in shrouded areas (not the plains) near the Ancient Spire. It’s a bit difficult to spot tin veins, as they’ll look like a shinier version of ordinary stones at first glance. Be on the lookout for small, silver-coloured stones poking out of walls or piles of dirt, as shown in the picture above.
You can mine Enshrouded tin using the scrappy pickaxe, although it’s faster to equip a copper one.
To help you get your hands on a stack of tin, here are two of the best tin deposits we’ve come across. Both are close to the Ancient Spire teleport waypoint. The first one, just northwest of the Ancient Spire, is a large shrouded chasm - the right side of the picture shows what it looks like. Descent into the chasm and you’ll find lots tin deposits, just below the surface. You can even grab some copper and limestone while you’re at it.
The other location, further northwest, is inside a cave with a shroud root; defeat the root to get to the tin deposit behind it.
Wondering what items you can make with tin in Enshrouded? Here’s an overview of the most important crafting recipes that require tin. Note that instead of raw tin ore, most recipes require tin bars that have gone through the smelter (more on that below).
While this doesn’t sound like much, keep in mind that tin is used to make bronze (smelt three tin bars to get ten bronze bars). So indirectly, tin is required for a great many crafting recipes involving bronze. Here’s how many resources you’ll need for the most important ones:
To make tin bars, you need tin ore, charcoal, wood acid, and a smelter. You can get a smelter by doing the ‘crucible needed for a smelter’ quest for the Blacksmith. Charcoal and wood acid can both be obtained using the kiln; both crafting recipes require nothing but wood and dirt. Once you have enough, place the tin ore, charcoal, and wood acid in the smelter and select the ‘tin bars’ crafting recipe to start the smelting process. Here’s the amount of materials required for one tin bar:
That’s it, you’re ready to find some Enshrouded tin and craft all the tin bars you need.
