Skull And Bones: How To Find And Harvest Acacia

In Skull and Bones, your first ship will be a small Dhow with only two crewmates, a major downgrade from the ship you steer during the intro sequence. However, getting a bigger ship and amassing a fleet of loyal pirates is only a matter of time as you complete main quests. The Tools of the Trade quest helps you on the way to obtain a better ship.

This mandatory quest tasks you with finding Acacia wood to build a better ship. Since you're not told where to obtain this type of wood, this quest can be a bit tricky to complete. Here's everything you need to know to obtain Acacia wood.

How To Craft A Saw

Before you can harvest wood, you'll need a Saw. You can create a Saw with the help of the Carpenter, by bringing him the proper materials. A level-one Saw can be crafted with the following recipe:

Saw Recipe

2x Torn Sail

1x Broken Plank

20x Silver

Torn Sails and Broken Planks can be harvested near the site of Shipwrecks. There are three Shipwrecks near the East side of Sainte-Anne, each with materials floating in the sea nearby. You also don't need any tools to harvest these resources, you just need to sail close enough to pick them up.

How To Get Acacia

How To Find Acacia

Acacia trees are located on the northern part of Sainte-Anne, shown by the tree icons when viewing the map. Highlighting these icons will display which type of wood is available at this location. Sail over to this location and get close enough to the tree where you can use your Saw.

How To Harvest Acacia

When close enough and prompted, press the indicated button to start harvesting. To harvest the wood, you have to complete a minigame similar to the one used for salvaging Shipwrecks. In this minigame, you need to stop the moving cursor in the green zones three times. If you fail three times, you'll need to restart the minigame from the beginning.

Be wary of Nile Crocodiles that lurk near the Acacia Trees at Sainte-Anne. A basic Hunting Spear isn't very effective for taking down these creatures, so it's best to retreat.
