In Smalland, Bark is one of the many important resources players must gather to progress and is used throughout the game. Gathering this material for the first time unlocks different crafting recipes for weapons and important pieces for construction. Here in our Smalland Bark guide, we'll cover where you can find the material, what you'll need to gather it, what crafting recipes it unlocks, and how to use it.

How to Gather Bark in Smalland

Before gathering Bark in Smalland, you need to make the Flint Axe or a higher-tiered axe. Here are the materials needed to craft a Flint Axe:

• 5x Fiber
• 5x Resin
• 10x Flint
• 5x Refined Wood

Perhaps the most challenging material to gather from that list is Refined Wood. New players can typically find Fiber and Resin from the beginner’s area near the NPCs Herne and The Elder. As for Flint, travel to the southern island to collect this material. But you need a Mandibular Pickaxe or a higher-tiered pickaxe to craft this tool. If you don’t have this item yet, here are the materials you need to craft it:

• 1x Bull Ant Mandible
• 5x Resin
• 5x Wood
• 5x Fiber

Smalland Bark Locations

While players are surrounded by forest in Smalland, one of the best places players can find Bark in Smalland is on the many beaches in the game. In particular, the area at the northwestern part of the map has plenty of Bark spawns and makes farming the resource more convenient. Note: Harvesting Bark may also drop wood occasionally.

All Bark Crafting Recipes

Once you gather your first Bark, the game prompts you with several notifications about the new recipes you can use. Many of these crafting recipes are building materials you can use to develop a fairly sturdy home. Aside from these building materials, you can also use pieces of Bark as materials to craft different weapons in Smalland. These weapons include:

Weapon Name	Crafting Ingredients	Crafting Location

Poisoned Mace	2x Bark 5x Poison Gland 10x Insect Sting 2x Fiber String 4x Refined Wood	Workbench

Farming Bark is a great way to upgrade your home in Smalland, as replacing the building materials made from wood and resin with housing components made of bark and wood can help reduce the frequency of repairing these items after storms.
