Resources in Windrose are the raw materials used for crafting, building, cooking, and alchemy. Different biomes provide different resources, encouraging exploration of the wider archipelago rather than farming one island.

|---|---|---|
Wood | Washed-up sticks on shorelines (by hand); trees (with axe) | Building, crafting stations, charcoal, nearly everything |
Stone | Scattered on beaches (by hand); rock formations (with pickaxe) | Tools, building, Smelting Furnace |
Plant Fiber | Bushes (by hand or any tool) | Rope, Cloth, Bandages, bags |
Coconut | Palm trees | Immediate food buff when eaten raw |

Some items found through exploration and combat are trade goods that cannot be opened or used directly. They are sold to Traders for currency:
Naval Supplies: Found in shipwrecks and pirate camps
Medical Crates: Found in abandoned camps and dungeons
Contraband: High-value trade goods found in risky locations
Wood is the most important resource early on because it is used in nearly every structure and crafting station
Plant Fiber is critical for Rope and Cloth, which are needed for Bandages and bags
Build your Bonfire near water for convenient ship access while gathering
Use a Shovel to dig for Worms (fishing bait) and buried treasure
Resources stored at your base can be accessed from any crafting station without carrying them in your inventory
The Disassembly Bench recycles unwanted gear for 100% material recovery
