As with recipes in other games, furnishings in Genshin Impact do need materials to be created, with Maple Wood being quite a coveted materials for fans. Thankfully, players are able to farm Maple Wood quite efficiently once they know where to look for them. However, just where should players look for Maple Wood to maximize their gathering sessions?

What Is Maple Wood?

As with most materials players can find in Genshin Impact, Maple Wood is a derivative of Wood found particularly in Inazuma, home of the Electro Archon, the Genshin Impact Sword-user Raiden Shogun. Maps Wood is characterized for its rather warmer appearance compared to typical wood, in that it has pinkish hues and maple leaves attached to them instead of typical green grass or leaves.

Given its nature as a 1-Star Material, Maple Wood is relatively easy to locate and acquire. In fact, players will likely need to spend more time frequenting its spawn points to cut it down for multiple sets in order to be able to maximize its usage.

Where Is Maple Wood Located?

Similar to other region-specific materials in the vast open world of Genshin Impact, Maple Wood comes from the Maple Tree, which appears similar to how maple trees look in real life. They stand out from usual trees in the game due to its red leaves. And similar to other materials that are located in specific regions, Maple Trees have a specific site in Inazuma where they are located. Players may find them in two sites:

Yashitori Island

This central portion of Inazuma is notable in the overworld map particularly for its yellowish patch compared to the rest of the land, which is green. This part of Yashitori Island actually covers three (3) distinct areas: Higi Village, Musoujin Gorge, and Serpent’s Head. Players who are looking for Maple Trees may want to look in this particular yellow patch as Maple Trees are scattered here, but are largely absent in the rest of the continent.

Ritou Village

The rather isolated Ritou Village is surprisingly filled with Maple Trees, unlike other ordinary trees that grow around other villages and settlements in Inazuma. There are around 21 trees in total scattered all around Ritou Village, giving players plenty of Maple Wood to source should they want to crafts specific maple-themed Furnishings for their settlement.

How To Farm Maple Wood?

Thankfully, farming Maple Wood isn’t exactly difficult in the world of Genshin Impact. When players locate a maple tree in any of the aforementioned locations, Genshin Impact players simply need to hit it with their weapon. Unlike other farming sims, trees in Genshin Impact don’t necessarily need players to equip sophisticated tools, making gathering a much easier task.

In order to spice things up, players may want to use a new character they’ve acquired in order to practice their moves onto maple trees to make the gathering session more productive. The trees themselves won’t fall off after players extract the wood they can. However, the tree will simply cease responding to the player’s hits. Instead, players may want to leave maple trees for a few minutes and go back in order to successfully farm the tree again.

Can Maple Wood Be Crafted?

Similar to most other variants of Wood in Genshin Impact, players of the acclaimed open world RPG do have a means of crafting Maple Wood should they find themselves outside of Inazuma. As with other items in Genshin Impact, Maple Wood follows the same Genshin Impact crafting process as with other Wood variants, though this time around with rather varied costs. Here are some basic materials players can use to craft Maple Wood, alongside their projected costs:
