Windrose: How to Farm Tumbaga Ingots

Tumbaga Ingot is one of the rarest alloys in Windrose, essential for upgrading (ascending) weapons and ship gear. Upgrading weapons and ship gear raises their rarity, from Uncommon to Epic, to unlock better perks. There are numerous weapon types in Windrose, including One-handed weapon, Two-handed weapon, Pistol, Musket, and Blunderbuss. Each weapon will require 7 to 9 Tumbaga Ingots to be fully upgraded. As you will get numerous weapons throughout the journey, you might want to ascend (upgrade) every weapon and ship gear. In this guide, we will tell you how to farm Tumbaga Ingots in Windrose.

How to Farm Tumbaga Ingots in Windrose

Despite Tumbaga Ingots being available from the very first biome, Coastal Jungle, in Windrose, you cannot farm them until the endgame. To be clear, there is no finite number of Tumbaga Ingots, meaning you can farm them from a specific location. The location to farm Tumbaga Ingots is the Tainted Ruins of an Ancient Temple. It is a Point of Interest available in the Cursed Swamp biome. This POI has 6 unique chests, which are one-time loot, but this location also spawns Ancient Containers, a repeatable spawn.

Each Ancient Container at this location drops 2x Tumbaga Ingot, and there are about 3-4 of these containers in the Tainted Ruins of an Ancient Temple. The Ancient Containers respawn after 6 hours (real-life time), so you can loot these containers again to get more Tumbaga Ingots.

Effective Run at Tainted Ruins of an Ancient Temple

The Tainted Ruins of an Ancient Temple is an endgame POI, filled with Hunters, Warriors, Witches, and Plague Crocodiles. You have to deal with all of these enemies at this location every time you visit. However, you can do a quick run around the ruins to pick up every Ancient Container without engaging in a fight. The most effective way to do it is to bring a lot of Plant Fiber with you, and then use it to build Large Roofs (Leaves) to go over walls. Frankly, you want to use a Fortnite strategy.

Select the Large Roof from the Building Panel, and place it quickly to get on top of it and go over the walls of the ruins. This way, you will be able to easily outrun the enemies and pick up containers on the way.
