Skull and Bones acacia is a widely used crafting material, which you’ll probably discover through the earlyTools of the Tradecontract where you need a generous amount of it. Without a supply of acacia wood, you won’t be able to construct the necessary ship upgrade so you can move on with the main storyline inSkull and Bones, and you don’t want to get stuck sailing around in a little dhow forever. However, the game gives you little direction in finding the required acacia trees, so it’a understandable that you’re looking for some pointers. With that in mind, here’s how to get acacia in Skull and Bones – including the best acacia farming spot.

You’ll find the Skull and Bones acacia quest,Tools of the Trade, shortly after your first arrival in Sainte-Anne. After speaking with the Shipwright and the Carpenter, the quest will ask you to acquire eight pieces of acacia wood. You’ll be rewarded with 240 silver and a repair kit, plus 100 infamy points.
This quest is part of the main storyline, so you can’t skip it. If you’re having trouble finding acacia wood locations, I’ll point you in the right direction.
How to find Skull and Bones acacia locations

Hop on your dhow and check theSkull and Bones mapto find the nearest acacia trees. As there aren’t any acacia locations within the town of Sainte-Anne, you’ll need to zoom out a bit until the map shows the full island and surrounding seas, as shown in the picture above.
Don’t see any acacia location markers on your map?Make sure you track the Tools of the Trade quest in your journal; this will spawn the markers.

Not only is this acacia farming location the closest one to Sainte-Anne, but it’s also inaccessible to larger ships, which protects your dhow from more powerful players while harvesting the trees. Just beware that the nile crocodiles may still attack you, so be ready to fight back.

There are eight acacia farming spots inside the lagoon. To recognize acacia trees, look for small groups of three to four trees with bright green leaves, as shown in the picture above.

To farm acacia in Skull and Bones, all you need is a saw and your dhow. As crafting a saw is also part of the Tools of the Trade quest, you probably have one already, but if not, take one piece of metal salvage and two torn sails to the Carpenter in Sainte-Anne to craft one.
To use the saw, make sure your ship is close enough to the acacia trees, then chooseHarvest. This will start a mini-game. See the tiny white arrow moving across the saw icon? Click your mouse or action button whenever the arrow is on the green part of the bar for the best results. Depending on how well you play this harvesting mini-game, here’s what you’ll receive:
Don’t worry if another player is already harvesting the acacia trees you’ve spotted; the respawn time is very fast, so you shouldn’t have to wait more than a minute for them to grow back again.

If you don’t want to play the harvesting mini-game, you can enable the auto-harvest option in the menu. To do so, openSettingsand look for theGameplaytab, then tick theAuto Harvestbox. With this setting enabled, you only need to be close to an acacia tree and clickHarvest; the game will do the gathering for you. Beware that auto-harvesting only yields one piece of acacia wood per tree, as opposed to four pieces in the mini-game if you play it successfully.
Best of luck on your hunt for Skull and Bones acacia wood!
