Skull & Bones is finally live, and you can now set sail for yourselves. Naval battles are the bread and butter of the game, as is upgrading your ship. For this and for some quests, you will need acacia wood. We have all the info on this for you.
What do you need acacia wood for? Acacia wood is an early needed resource in Skull & Bones. It is used to upgrade your first ship. Later, you will also need it to build new ships. Additionally, the resource is required for quests.
Where can you find acacia wood? You can find acacia wood in these locations in the Indian Ocean of Skull & Bones:
- Saint-Anne
- The Giant’s Leap
- North of Noisy Be
We have marked the locations on the map:
The best spot to farm acacia wood is the entrance to the small lagoon north of the outpost in the west of Saint-Anne, marked here with a yellow tent symbol. It is the spot closest to the outpost, and you will find four different acacia wood spots here.
Collecting Acacia Wood – How does it work?
How do you collect acacia wood? Acacias always grow in small groups of three to four trees. You can recognize them by their light green leaves and the light trunk.
To collect the wood, you will need a saw and your skiff. You will receive a saw fairly early in the game as part of the Tools of Trade
questline. If you don’t have one yet, you can ask the carpenter in Saint-Anne to make you one with a piece of metal and two torn sails.
To use the saw, you must navigate your ship as close as possible to the acacia deposits and select the action Harvest
. This will start a mini-game:
You will see a small, moving arrow. Click with the left mouse button or press the action button when the arrow is pointing to the green part of the corresponding bar. This way, you will get the most wood.
- Green Area: You get one acacia wood if you clicked the green area in time.
- Yellow Area: If you hit yellow twice, you get nothing. On the third hit, you receive one acacia wood.
- Gray Area: You will not receive any acacia wood here.
Another player is already working on a spot? Don’t worry, the resources respawn very quickly. Waiting times longer than a minute are unusual.
Can I collect acacia wood without the mini-game? Yes! If you check the settings under the gameplay tab, you will find the option Automatic Gathering
. If you turn it on, you only need to be close enough to the acacia spots and click on Harvest
.
Just keep in mind that the game collects one wood per acacia. With the mini-game, you can receive up to four pieces of wood per tree.
Once you have gathered enough acacia wood, you can upgrade your ship – or even get a whole new one. We have here 2 of the best ships you need at sea for you.
