Enshrouded Garden Gnome: Wistful Fields, Fenrig and All 3 Recipes

You get the Enshrouded Garden Gnome through the side quest Finding A Garden Gnome. Fenrig sends you to another farm in the Springlands, Wistful Fields, to look for one of these figures. Bring one back and the Farmer can craft three decorative gnomes.

This guide covers who gives the quest, where Wistful Fields fits in, which three gnome variants exist and how much material you need for all of them. Where the sources leave gaps, we say so.

🧭 What is the Garden Gnome in Enshrouded?

The Enshrouded Garden Gnome isn't an achievement or a weapon. It's decoration. The game database enshrouded.th.gl files all three gnomes under Building, subcategory Furniture. All three variants share the same item description: "A decorative object to design and beautify your home."

Finding an Enshrouded Garden Gnome is a small side quest, not part of the main story. According to th.gl it belongs to the Springlands, the starting region. That means you can pick it up early in the game, without a high level or endgame gear.

📜 The quest text in the game

Here is how the quest reads in the English version of enshrouded.th.gl and the community wiki:

• Objective: "Find A Garden Gnome (Wistful Fields)"
• Description: "Fenrig the Farmer believes that life is utterly meaningless without some garden gnomes. He wasn't allowed to have any, but other farms might have had garden gnomes as decorations. Visit one such farm and find a garden gnome!"

According to th.gl the quest has exactly one objective. The quest text also sums up the whole thing pretty well: go there, pick up a gnome, done.

👨‍🌾 Who gives the quest? Fenrig, the Farmer Assistant

The quest giver is Fenrig Mills Jr. The English community wiki on enshrouded.wiki.gg lists him as the Farmer Assistant. Assistants are described there as extra copies of a craftsperson, so Fenrig works the same farm stations as the Farmer, Emily Fray, such as the Seedbed and the Cooking Station.

The community wiki says you find him in Wolf Cave, and the map marker points to the Springlands. How the other survivors end up in your base is covered in our guide to Enshrouded craftspeople.

🛏️ Two titles for the same NPC

Fenrig goes by two labels. The community wiki lists him as "Fenrig, the Farmer Assistant" for this quest. The quest descriptions, both here and in Beds And Shelter, call him "Fenrig the Farmer". In Beds And Shelter he explains that villagers need food and a warm, sheltered bed, and the objective reads "Assign a sheltered bed to Fenrig to proceed!"

Both labels mean the same character, so if you're looking for Fenrig in your base, he can show up under either role. According to the quest text, you assign the bed by aiming the Summoning Staff at a free bed.

📍 Enshrouded Garden Gnome location: Wistful Fields in the Springlands

The quest target is Wistful Fields in the Springlands. According to the community wiki, the region covers zone levels 1 to 10. No reliable source gives the enemy level on the farm itself. Still, expect a fight and don't show up with a brand-new character.

Neither th.gl nor the community wiki gives exact coordinates or a route. That kind of detail only shows up on unverified fan sites, and we're deliberately not repeating it here.

🔍 Which variant is on the farm?

The quest doesn't say, and th.gl doesn't name a fixed container either. So check chests and the area around the farm, and grab any gnome figure you spot. Which Enshrouded Garden Gnome it turns out to be doesn't matter much for the unlocks, as the recipe section below shows.

th.gl lists no reward for the quest. The community wiki mentions 75 XP, but the game data does not confirm it. The real payoff is the recipes you unlock.

For the trip, use the nearest Ancient Spire or a Flame Altar close by. How that works in the Springlands is explained in our guide to fast travel in Enshrouded, and you'll find every region with its levels on the Enshrouded map.

🧱 All three variants with recipes

There are three Enshrouded Garden Gnome variants. According to th.gl, all of them are crafted at the Farmer, and the community wiki adds Fenrig as the assistant. The wiki lists the crafting time as instant, the rarity as common and a stack size of 50 for all three.

Recipes and amounts match between th.gl and the community wiki. There's no conflict here.

🔓 How the unlocks work

The interesting part is the "Unlocked by" field on th.gl. Each variant is unlocked by the other two: Shovel by Lantern and Sword, Lantern by Shovel and Sword, Sword by Lantern and Shovel.

Our reading: once you have one of the gnomes in your inventory, the Farmer learns the other two. Craft one of those and the recipe for the type you found comes along too. A single find is enough for all three recipes. The data doesn't say if picking it up is enough or if you have to keep the figure. So don't place or drop the one you found right away.

📊 Our math: materials for all three gnomes

If you want to place one of each Enshrouded Garden Gnome, you need 9 Shroud Wood, 9 Plant Fiber and 3 Fire Fly in total. The gnome you found isn't counted. If you take the shortest route and only build the two missing types, 6 Shroud Wood and 6 Plant Fiber are enough, plus 3 Fire Fly if the Lantern variant is one of them.

The math is our own and based on the th.gl recipes. For a row of decorations, Shovel and Sword are the cheap options because they don't need Fire Fly.

🌿 Where to get the ingredients

• Shroud Wood: according to the community wiki, from chopping trees inside the Shroud. Keep an eye on your Shroud timer.
• Plant Fiber: according to the community wiki, from bushes all over Embervale or as a loose pickup on the ground. You can also grow bushes from seedlings.
• Fire Fly: according to the community wiki, at night in the Springlands, easy to spot thanks to their yellow glow.

If you'd rather grow Plant Fiber at your base, the basics are in our Enshrouded farming guide.

🏡 Placing the gnomes in your base

Every Enshrouded Garden Gnome counts as furniture and is placed like any other furniture inside a Flame Altar's build area. Neither th.gl nor the wiki pages for the three gnomes mention comfort. So don't count on a bonus. Treat them as pure decoration for your farm, a garden bed or the entrance.

Fitting the quest, a spot next to the farm stations works well, since the Farmer and Fenrig work there anyway. How to set up the base itself is covered in our guide to base building in Enshrouded.
