Where to Find Metal Scraps in Enshrouded

Metal Scraps drop from Scavengers, enemies commonly found around the map. They’re also found in various containers such as chests, barrels, and boxes. Early-game tools and weapons, like the Scrappy Sword, Scrappy Axe, Scrapy Rake, and Scrappy Pickaxe, require Metal Scraps to craft so I definitely recommend stocking up on them.

Rookmore is a great starter place to farm Metal Scraps. Braelyn Bridge and Longkeep are also filled with them.

Make sure to save every piece of Metal Scrap you find in the early game, as they are vital for many important items:

  • Forge.
  • Lockpick.
  • Nails.
  • Felling Axe.
  • Scrap Arrows.
  • Fur Armor.

Best Places to Farm Metal Scraps in Enshrouded – Map Locations

I’ve had the most success farming the Metal Scraps at these exact locations:

Scavengers should, in most cases, respawn at the start of the day every couple of days. However, some players online have reported that they managed to force Scavengers to respawn by logging out and back into the server. I haven’t been able to reproduce this, so YMMV.
