In the vast world of LEGO Fortnite, the quest for materials and resources is endless, especially when it comes to upgrading your gear and crafting more powerful weapons. After your first few hours of playing, you’ll quickly realize that Granite (Stone) won’t cut it for crafting better items, which is where the different “gems” come into play. Amber is the first tier of gems you can farm in this game, and if you’re stuck on where to look for it, I’m here to help!
Here’s where to get Rough Amber and how to turn it into Cut Amber in LEGO Fortnite.
How to Farm Cut Amber in LEGO Fortnite
1 | Locate Rough Amber Nodes in the Desert
The first step in obtaining Cut Amber is to gather Rough Amber, and you’ll find this ore in abundance atop the stony mountains in the Dry Valley biome, the desert area on your LEGO Fortnite map. Before setting out, ensure you wield at least an Uncommon (green) Pickaxe—weaker tools won’t do the job! Also, pack some wood in your inventory to build stairs for climbing those stone mountains.
Once you’ve collected enough Rough Amber, it’s time to return to your village and refine it into the Cut Amber:
2 | Turn Rough Amber into Cut Amber with a Gem Cutter
Cut Amber is the precious material needed for crafting items and weapons. To shape your Rough Amber into this refined form, you’ll need a Gem Cutter. Ensure you have the ingredients to build it:
- 20x Marble Slab
- 5x Rough Amber
- 5x Sand Claw (from Sand Wolves in the desert)
- 3x Sand Shell (from Sand Rollers in the desert)
Build the Gem Cutter under a shed, toss in your Rough Amber, and patiently wait for the magic to happen. Collect the Cut Amber once the process is complete!
