How to make Shaft in Nightingale

Shafts can be made in Nightingale at a Simple Smelter using two Ingots, which means you first need to gather two Ore to make your Ingots, or they can instead be purchased from an Essence Trader.

The Simple Smelter is also needed to craft Ingots and all other kinds of important resources, so the first step in this process if you want to make Shafts yourself is unlocking and creating a Simple Smelter.

The recipe to craft a Simple Smelter can be purchased from an Essence Trader for 55 Essence. Once you purchase the recipe, you can then craft and place this item using four Stone Blocks and six Rocks. Stone Blocks can be mined using a Pickaxe while Rocks can be found lying around the world as small pebble piles.

Everything you need for this recipe is super easy to obtain early on, so you should have no problem getting a Simple Smelter set up at your Estate. You need this item not only to make a Shaft but also many other kinds of recipes, so it’s a good idea to get one made as early on as you can.

How to make Ingots in Nightingale

You can make Ingots at the Simple Smelter with two of any kind of Ore. Ore can be mined from rocks that have Ore sticking out of them, which is easy to spot thanks to the various colors Ore comes in. These kinds of rocks can be found all over the world, but I’ve had the most luck finding them near the water in the Forest biome.

Once you have two Ingots made, simply light your Simple Smelter with any kind of fuel and select the Shaft option to get this material cooking. The type of Shaft you obtain will vary depending on what Ore you make it with, but either way, you now have a Shaft to use. You need Shafts for a variety of other recipes, including Mechanical Gears.
