The usual Workbench is among the first base objects you may construct in Windrose. It serves as a primary technique to craft some newbie provides and is usually a actual lifesaver in terms of therapeutic your self and constructing some additional quick journey factors across the gigantic map. As you proceed to progress in Windrose, you can construct an increasing number of area of interest Workbenches to craft particular objects and kit.
Nonetheless, as you may rapidly study, every Workbench you construct begins at stage one and could be upgraded to increased ranges to craft extra superior objects. Windrose does not do an important job of explaining how these Workbench upgrades work, although, so let’s have a look at how one can get to stage two and past.
Upgrading a Workbench in Windrose
In case you go right into a Workbench’s menu by interacting with it, you possibly can hover over any of the craftable objects to see what stage your Workbench must be to make that merchandise. For instance, a shovel at an ordinary Workbench solely requires it to be stage one, however Picket Planks require a stage two station, as you possibly can see within the screenshot under.

Naturally, in the event you solely must craft objects that require a stage one station, then you definitely’re utterly high-quality so long as you may have the correct supplies. Nonetheless, when you begin working into objects that want an additional stage, it’s essential determine easy methods to improve your Workbench.

When you construct that improve station, its partnered Workbench shall be mechanically upgraded to the following stage.
For instance, in the event you construct the usual Workbench, you possibly can then construct the “Sawhorse.” The Sawhorse, and most different improve stations, cannot be interacted with, however when you construct it, the usual Workbench upgrades to stage two. To make issues simpler, you may at all times discover the improve station for a Workbench proper subsequent to it within the “Crafting & Utilities” menu whereas in constructing mode.
Here is a listing of some Workbenches and their stage two improve stations:
- Workbench – Sawhorse
- Cooking Fireplace – Chopping Desk
