Lunar New Year Plants in Enshrouded: Full Guide

This guide walks you through finding every Lunar New Year plant in Enshrouded during the seasonal event. You’ll learn the exact locations, how to harvest them, and what they’re used for, so you can complete the event quests and decorations quickly.

What You’ll Need

  • A character with at least a basic flame level (any level works, but higher flame levels make travel easier).
  • A pickaxe or shovel for harvesting (some plants require tools).
  • Access to the Revelwood and Nomad Highlands regions (the plants spawn there).
  • Optional: a glider and grappling hook to reach high ledges.

Step-by-Step

  1. Start the Lunar New Year event. The event is active during the seasonal window (usually late January to mid-February). Check your quest log for the “Lunar New Year” quest, which begins by talking to the Event NPC in the Springlands. If you don’t see the quest, make sure your game is updated and you’re playing online (event is server-based).
  2. Open your map and look for the event markers. The quest will mark three general areas on the map: one in Revelwood, one in Nomad Highlands, and one in the Kindlewastes. Each area contains a specific plant type. Zoom in to see the exact icon (a small leaf or flower) for each plant.
  3. Travel to the Revelwood marker (Lunar Lotus). The Lunar Lotus is a glowing blue flower that spawns near water. Head to the marker, usually near a lake or river. Look for a cluster of blue-lit flowers on the ground or on low rocks. Use your pickaxe to harvest them. You need 5 for the quest.
  4. Travel to the Nomad Highlands marker (Golden Bamboo). Golden Bamboo appears as tall, yellow-green stalks. The marker is typically on a hillside or near a cliff. Use your axe to chop the bamboo. You need 5 stalks. Be careful of enemies nearby – clear them first if needed.
  5. Travel to the Kindlewastes marker (Red Plum Blossoms). These are red flowers that grow in the desert, often near ancient ruins or rocky outcrops. They’re easier to spot against the sand. Harvest with your pickaxe. You need 5 blossoms.
  6. Return to the Event NPC. Once you have all 15 plants (5 of each), go back to the Springlands and talk to the NPC. Turn in the quest to receive the Lunar New Year decoration set and recipe.
  7. Optional: Farm extra plants. After the quest, the plants respawn after a few in-game days. You can harvest more to craft additional decorations or trade with other players. The recipes are unlocked after the quest.

Common Mistakes

  • Going to the wrong region. The plants are region-specific. Don’t waste time looking for bamboo in the Kindlewastes – it won’t spawn there.
  • Not bringing a tool. Some plants require a pickaxe or axe. If you try to harvest with your bare hands, you’ll get nothing. Always have both tools equipped.
  • Ignoring the time of day. The Lunar Lotus only glows at night, making it easier to spot. During the day, it might be hard to see. If you can’t find it, wait until night.
  • Forgetting to check the quest log. The markers only appear if the quest is active. If you don’t see them, re-read the quest description or restart your game.

Tips

  • Use fast travel. Unlock the nearby fast travel points in each region to cut down on travel time. The plants are usually within a 1-2 minute walk from the nearest point.
  • Bring a friend. If you’re on a multiplayer server, you can split up and each gather a different plant, then share. This speeds up the process significantly.
  • Mark the spots. After harvesting, place a custom map marker so you can return later for respawns. The respawn timer is roughly 3 in-game days.
  • Check the weather. In the Kindlewastes, sandstorms can reduce visibility. Wait for a clear day to hunt for the Red Plum Blossoms.

Troubleshooting

  • Plants not spawning at the marker. This can happen if another player already harvested them on the same server. Wait a few minutes or server restart, or check a different spot nearby – sometimes the spawn is slightly off.
  • Quest marker missing. Make sure you’ve accepted the quest from the NPC. If it’s still missing, try relogging or restarting the game. If you’re on a dedicated server, the admin may need to enable the event.
  • Can’t harvest the plant. Check your tool durability – a broken tool won’t harvest. Also, ensure you’re using the correct tool (axe for bamboo, pickaxe for flowers). If you’re still stuck, try hitting the base of the plant.
  • Event not active. The Lunar New Year event is time-limited. If you’re outside the event window, the plants won’t spawn. Check the official game news for the event dates.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I get for turning in the plants?

You receive the Lunar New Year decoration set, which includes lanterns, banners, and a special statue. You also unlock recipes to craft more decorations.

Do I need a specific flame level to harvest?

No, any flame level works. However, higher flame levels make travel safer and faster.

Can I trade plants with other players?

Yes, plants are tradeable. If you have extras, you can give them to friends or trade for other resources.

What happens if I miss the event?
