Enshrouded crafting survivor locations

Enshrouded's five main crafting survivors, the Blacksmith, Alchemist, Carpenter, Hunter and Farmer, each sleep in their own Ancient Vault, all around the Springlands and Low Meadows. You rescue one, then summon them to your base with a Summoning Staff so they can craft for you. This guide says where each vault is, and where to find the Collector, who is rescued somewhere else.

Checked against Enshrouded 1.0 (hotfix 1.0.0.3 of 21 October 2026), October 2026.

The five Ancient Vaults

The official wiki marks each craftsperson's vault on its map as "Ancient Vault" followed by their trade. Gamer Guides (2024) and the 1.0 map data on MetaBot.GG place them like this:

Gamer Guides (2024) says the Carpenter's vault sits inside the Shroud, so keep an eye on your Shroud time on the way in. The Alchemist gives you the quest that leads you there.

Summoning a survivor

Each vault holds a sleeping survivor. Rescue them, then summon them to your base with a Summoning Staff.

The game's first quest has you place a Flame Altar to start your base. On a Play Your Way server only the Admin role can place a Flame Altar to begin with, so whoever sets up the base should join with the admin password. See How to make an Enshrouded server and Enshrouded roles and permissions.

The quest that wakes each one

MetaBot.GG's 1.0 data and the wiki's pages give these names. The wiki and Gamer Guides (2024) both put the Blacksmith first.

What each one is for

Since April 2026 the survivor who matches an item's combat class upgrades it, according to Keen's patch notes: the Blacksmith for warrior gear, the Hunter (Keen's notes say Huntress) for ranger gear and the Alchemist for mage gear. The wiki lists the same three as the melee, ranged and caster crafters.

For decorations, see the Carpenter, who gained many new props in April 2026.

The Collector

Alden Crowley, the Collector, is not in a vault. He waits at the end of the Springlands Hollow Halls, a dungeon in the south west of the map. The Alchemist's quest Explore The Hollow Halls starts it, and the wiki says that quest needs the Growing Stronger Together and Carpentry Assistance quests finished first. Read How to access the Enshrouded Hollow Halls before you go in, because the dungeon is built for a group.

Other survivors

• The wiki lists the Bard, Valory, as the survivor at the end of the quest Follow The Melody, in the Sunken Ancient City.
• Version 1.0 adds a survivor who specialises in Ancient knowledge and recipes. The wiki also lists an Ancient Researcher, Loraine Crim, with no description.
• The wiki also describes assistants as second copies of the craftspeople.
