To get lightwood trunks in Hytale, which are required to upgrade the farmer's workbench to tier 3, you need two things: An axe and secret intel on what kind of tree counts as lightwood, for none of them will appear under that name in your inventory. Instead of chopping trees without aim, let's find the right forest.

Here's where to find lightwood in Hytale.


Where to find lightwood in Hytale

Hytale's lightwood is an overarching wood type that includes birch and gumboab trees.

To find birch logs, look for light green trees with a light grey trunk and chop them down. You can use your map to locate this kind of lightwood more easily; see the small, green specks on the map below? That's a forest full of birch trees. Other types of trees would have a different color.

Birch only spawns in Hytale's Emerald Wilds (Zone 1). Don't try to find them in the desert, snow, or volcanic areas.

To find gumboab trees, enter the Howling Sands (Zone 2). In the Savannah area, the dirty yellow part of the map, you will see lone, gigantic trees; these are the gumboabs.

You can use your Hytale lightwood to build new structures, such as windows, or to upgrade the farmer's workbench, which can help you upgrade your animal farm.
