How to Find the Carpenter in Enshrouded
Rescue Cade Hawthorn from the Carpenter Ancient Vault and unlock woodworking, construction furniture, and masonry tools.
Last updated: 2026-08-08
The Carpenter, Cade Hawthorn, is one of the five foundational Springlands craftspeople. He is found in an Ancient Vault reached during the early main quest chain, alongside the Blacksmith, Alchemist, Hunter, and Farmer.
Why rescue the Carpenter early?
Cade opens the core woodworking and construction economy:
- Advanced building pieces, furniture, and decoration
- Kiln for processing clay and stone materials
- Table Saw for refined wood products
- Masonry Tools for stone construction
His stations feed directly into base upgrades, storage furniture, and the decorative pieces used for Comfort.
Rescue checklist
- Continue the opening Springlands quest chain until Cade's Ancient Vault becomes available.
- Clear the vault approach and interact with his Cinder Vessel.
- Return to a base inside an active Flame Altar area.
- Craft a Summoning Staff and place Cade.
- Give him a sheltered room and the Kiln, Table Saw, and Masonry Tools when his quests request them.
Best early follow-up
Prioritize the Kiln early since Clay and processed stone gate several construction recipes. Building a workshop that groups logs, planks, clay, and stone near Cade saves repeated trips once you reach base planning.
