Better Materials but Stronger Enemies

The Black Forest are biomes that are stark contrasts to the Meadows biomes!

It is recommended that you prepare your equipment in the Meadows first before venturing into these woods, as it is home to a variety of aggressive creatures such as Greydwarves, Skeletons, Trolls.

These particular biomes are currently the only sources of Copper Ores, Tin Ores, and Core Wood in the game. Surtling Cores, Greydwarf Eyes, Bone Fragments can also be obtained from these woods — provided you can deal with its deadly inhabitants!
