How to get Tarred Fabric in Windrose

If you're yet to visit the Cursed Swamps region, you'll eventually be sent there following the 'Needle in a Haystack' Main Quest.

If you need some help tracking down the Tarred Fabric components, Tar and Linen Fabric, I've detailed how to get your hands on them below.

How to get Linen Fabric in Windrose

To get Linen Fabric in Windrose, you first want to discover Flax Fiber in the Foothills region, which unlocks both the Spinning Wheel recipe and the Linen Fabric recipe for you.

With that done, build the Spinning Wheel via your Building Panel using 10 Wood and 5 Rope. Then, take some Flax Fiber to a Spinning Wheel and then you can start crafting Linen Fabric. Three Flax Fiber crafts one Linen Fabric.

To get Tar in Windrose, head to the Cursed Swamps region where you'll find Tarwood Trees all around the swamps. Simply take an Iron Pickaxe or better to these trees to gather both Wood and Tar. Be careful of the crocodiles and Plague enemies patrolling the area though…

How to use Tarred Fabric in Windrose

Tarred Fabric is used for crafting high-level armor in Windrose, which you'll need when taking down Plague enemies or Blackbeard's men. For example, to craft most Level 11 armor, you're going to need some Tarred Fabric (alongside the likes of Crocodile Hides and Sewing Tools or Master's Tools) to craft it.

You'll also need Tarred Fabric for crafting Level 11 Boarding Party Gear, which is much needed if you're taking part in naval combat and boarding enemy ships.
