Quick Links
Along with four new maps to explore, Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons brought us new materials, such as Chunks of Petrified Echovald Resin. This resource is used in several crafting recipes, as well as in the crafting of legendary items.
In this guide, we are going to take a look at how to get Chunks of Petrified Echovald Resin. As the name suggests, you can find this item within the Echovald Wilds, however, there are also several other locations around Cantha where you may find it. First, let's look at the simplest ways to find this resin.
Gathering Resin From Trees
The first way to obtain Chunks of Petrified Echovald Resin is by gathering them from saplings.
While in the Echovald Wilds, you can find Petrified Echovald Saplings that have a chance to give you the resin, as well as elder and ancient logs. These Petrified Saplings are present in the following areas of the Echovald Wilds.
- Ferndale
- Melandru's Hope
- Saint's Vale
- Zu Heltzer Historical Site
In addition to gathering the resin from Petrified Saplings, you can also find the resource by gathering from the following two saplings anywhere in Cantha.
- Cherry Blossom Sapling
- Bamboo Sapling
These two saplings have a lower chance of yielding Chunks of Petrified Echovald Resin, so we recommend sticking to the Echovald Wilds if you are looking to farm this resource.
