Lumberjack Bayek: A Guide to Getting Wood in Assassin's Creed Origins
So you want to be a master Medjay? Arrows flying, blade flashing, a literal one-man wrecking crew? But hold on, there's a snag in your path to badassery: you need wood. Wood? You cry, isn't this ancient Egypt, not IKEA? Well, surprise surprise, crafting ain't cheap, even in the land of pyramids. But fear not, weary traveler, for this guide will turn you from a wood-deficient dud to a resource-rich dude (or dudette).
How To Get Wood In Ac Origins |
Method 1: Senu to the Rescue (or "Birding with Benefits")
Let's be honest, Senu is basically your overpowered drone in this whole deal. This eagle of yours can spot a fly buzzing on a camel's backside from a mile away, so why not wood? Here's the plan:
- Up, Up, and Away! Summon Senu with a tap of the d-pad (don't worry, she won't judge your feather-dusting skills).
- Eye in the Sky: Scan the land for icons that look like little logs. Those, my friend, are the woody goldmines you seek.
- Tag, You're It!: Lock onto that wood with the precision of a true eagle handler (or at least someone who's good at tapping buttons).
- The Woodening: Head towards the marked spot and prepare to...well, wrestle some wood from whoever's carrying it. Be it a grumpy guard or a confused merchant, that wood is yours now!
Pro-Tip: This method often involves relieving some unsuspecting soul of their lumber. If you're feeling morally conflicted, consider it a "forestry tax" to fund your glorious revolution...or you know, a new fancy quiver.
Tip: Watch for summary phrases — they give the gist.![]()
Method 2: Blacksmith Bonanza (or "Wood with a Side of Coin")
Not a fan of the whole "acquire-wood-through-mild-coercion" thing? No worries! Every good town has a blacksmith, and most blacksmiths are happy to part with a few planks...for a price.
This option is great for those who prefer a more civilized approach (or are low on arrows for the inevitable "wood liberation" struggle). Just be prepared to shell out some hard-earned drachmas. Wood doesn't grow on trees, after all (except, you know, when it literally does).
QuickTip: Stop and think when you learn something new.![]()
Caution: This method can get pricey, especially if you're a crafting fiend. So, uh, maybe go easy on the mahogany chariots.
Method 3: De-bow-sification (or "Old Bows Never Die, They Just Become Kindling")
Got a bunch of old, busted bows lying around collecting dust (and cobwebs)? Well, it's time to put those dusty disappointments to good use! Dismantle those bad boys and hey presto, instant wood!
Reminder: Take a short break if the post feels long.![]()
This is a fantastic way to declutter your inventory and turn those crafting failures into fuel for your next masterpiece. Just remember, great bows deserve respect, so only dismantle the truly hopeless cases.
Remember: Don't go all Edward Scissorhands on your perfectly good weaponry. Respect the bows that serve you well!
QuickTip: Focus more on the ‘how’ than the ‘what’.![]()
So there you have it! With these tips, you'll be swimming in wood in no time. Now get out there and craft your way to legendary Medjay status! Remember, with great wood comes great responsibility...to build the coolest stuff in all of Egypt.
