To get flexwood, players must go to the Dry Valley, also known as the desert biome. This area is hot and full of cacti that drop flexwood when chopped down. The cacti are easy to spot thanks to their bright green color and unique shape.

However, chopping down these cacti isn't easy. Players usually need a tool called a Rare Forest Axe. You can make this axe at an upgraded Crafting Bench using materials like Cut Amber and Knotroot Rods. If you don't have this axe, you can try using explosives or get help from the game's environment, like rolling boulders into cacti, to break them and collect flexwood.

  3. 6 Sand Claws
  4. 3 Sand Shells

Collect Materials for the Axe

  1. 5 Cut Amber
  2. 3 Knotroot Rods

Getting Cut Amber

To find Cut Amber, use a Gem Cutter Workbench. You need:

  1. 4 Marble Slabs
  2. 5 Rough Amber
  3. 5 Sand Claws
