How to get to the Veilwater Basin, Enshrouded’s Wake of the Water biome

The world of Embervale is expanding, Flameborn. Enshrouded’s newest biome, the Veilwater Basin, has arrived with the Wake of the Water update, and it's home to sandy beaches, crumbling ruins, bamboo forests, and a ton of lakes to fish.  

The Veilwater Basin is a late-game area, although you can get there without having to upgrade your Flame Level to the max. You'll definitely want to visit the new region to collect its resources, many of which will allow you to create new recipes, allowing you to breathe underwater, a vital aspect to exploring all Enshrouded has to offer.

The Veilwater Basin is located in the northernmost part of Embervale, sandwiched between the Albaneve Summits and the Blackmire. To get there, I recommend heading west from the Albaneve Summits fast travel tower. Head up the mountain, and you’ll be in an ideal position to glide down to the basin below. The Balefire Tower "1000 Miles" is another great location to visit, with its high vantage point, allowing you to easily soar down to the basin below.

If you haven't traversed the high mountaintops of the Albaneve Summits yet, you can also get to the Veilwater Basin by venturing east from the Blackmire Ancient Spire, or by scaling the mountains north of the Nomad Highlands fast travel point. It's much easier to get to the basin via the Albaneve Summits, but with a bit of patience and a high-level glider, you can still easily reach the newest biome through one of these other two regions.

The Ancient Spire for the region can be found in the center of a large body of water, Lake Heartblood—though you'll easily be able to spot it as the tallest tower in the basin. Unlocking its fast travel point requires you to dive underwater to reach all of its passages, so you'll likely want to find ways to increase your oxygen supply before you attempt to scale it. One way involves making Sushi with the help of the Farmer using Algae, Cooked Rice, and Silverback fish.

The Veilwater Basin is also home to plenty of new points of interest to explore, like the Capybara Oasis, where you can begin a quest to tame your own capybara, as well as the small abandoned town of Riverreach, where treasure—and plenty of Scavengers—await. As you explore the basin, you'll come across new resources, like Bananas, Ginger, and Crab Meat. There are also new building materials, like Bamboo, Shell Limestone, Palm Trees, and Tropical Wood, which can be molded into blocks to create a fitting residence for your new tropical abode.
