The short route

Chop dead trees inside the Shroud for Shroud Wood. If you still need both the basic Glider and Flame level 3, reserve 18: eight for the Glider and ten for the Flame upgrade, before spending wood on optional crafts.[1][2]

Identify the material by its inventory name

The current references identify the source as dead trees in the Shroud. Check the resulting item before planning the rest of a trip. Ordinary Wood Logs and the crafted Shroud Wood Block are different items; a chest of blocks is not the raw ingredient asked for by the Glider recipe.[1][2]

Choose trees close enough to an exit that you can leave with the harvest. This budget does not include a tested tree yield or a timed route, so stop according to the missing amount rather than a promised number of trees.

Set a budget from unfinished goals

The Glider still needs its other ingredients, and Flame level 3 still needs the other offerings. The total of 18 is a wood-only planning subtotal, not the complete shopping list.[1]

Unfinished-goal wood reserve

18 wood missing
  • Unfinished-goal reserve: 18 Shroud Wood
  • Surplus after reserve: 0

Reserve = wood for selected unfinished goals. Missing = max(0, reserve − raw wood held).

Avoid turning progress materials into decoration too early

The item data lists two raw Shroud Wood for a batch of 100 Shroud Wood Blocks. That is a separate crafting decision, not a reversible way to bank the Glider’s eight units. Keep the reserved raw wood in a distinct stack or count it before making a block batch.[1]

A worked example: with both goals unfinished and 12 raw wood in storage, the missing amount is six. If the Glider is already made, only ten remains reserved for Flame level 3, so the same inventory covers that wood requirement. The change comes from your completed goals, not a change in the recipe.
