You can’t find Piscine Ivory Dust lying around in Enshrouded 1.0. You have to make it. Catch a Yellowfin or a Thornridge (both tier 6 epic fish) and turn it into Fish Teeth or Fish Bones at the Fisher for 2 Gold Coins. Then grind that at a Mill: one fish part gives one dust in 3 minutes. The Flame 9 to 10 upgrade needs 10 dust, so plan on 10 epic fish and 20 Gold Coins.
The full chain, step by step
| Step | Station | Input | Output | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Catch the fish | Fishing rod | Bait (Epic Fishing Bait I is best) | Yellowfin or Thornridge | |
| 2a. Make Fish Teeth | Fisher | 1 Yellowfin + 2 Gold Coins | 1 Fish Teeth | Instant |
| 2b. Make Fish Bones | Fisher | 1 Thornridge + 2 Gold Coins | 1 Fish Bones | Instant |
| 3. Grind | Mill | 1 Fish Teeth or 1 Fish Bones | 1 Piscine Ivory Dust | 3:00 |
The wiki and allthings.how both give these numbers, and PinDrop’s 1.0 data matches. Each recipe unlocks the first time the item lands in your inventory. The Fish Teeth recipe appears when you catch your first Yellowfin, and the Fish Bones recipe when you catch your first Thornridge. Allthings.how says the Fisher recipes need a sheltered base.
Piscine Ivory Dust is a level 40 common material and stacks to 250. PinDrop checked the 1.0 game files and found none placed in the world and no enemy that drops it. If a guide tells you to “gather it in Veilwater Basin”, that comes from the old wiki template.
Catching Yellowfin and Thornridge in 1.0
1.0 changed fishing. Keen’s changelog says “all fish can be caught in every body of water”. You need the right bait and “a fishing rod that can handle higher-tiered fish”. Each bait mostly attracts fish of its own tier, and improved bait guarantees that anything that bites is that tier. Before 1.0, guides sent you to Veilwater Basin for these two fish. That is no longer necessary, so fish at whatever water is closest to your base.
PinDrop’s 1.0 fishing data gives these odds for each of the two fish:
| Bait | Share per fish |
|---|---|
| No bait | 3.27% |
| Maggots | 8.14% |
| Frog | 24.27% |
| Epic Fishing Bait I | 33.33% |
With Epic Fishing Bait I, Yellowfin and Thornridge each have a third of the catch table, so about two of every three fish should be one of them. Both work for the dust, so it doesn’t matter which one bites. Both fish bite at any time of day.
Rod: PinDrop lists two tier 6 rods: the Excellent Fishing Rod (1 Tropical Wood, 1 Steel Bars, 1 String, 1 Gold Dust, 1 Gold Coins) and the Lucky Fishing Rod (2 Bamboo Logs, 1 Steel Bars, 1 String, 1 Gold Dust, 5 Gold Coins). Captain Melville Fontane makes both. If you’re catching mostly lower-tier fish with good bait, check your rod tier first. PinDrop’s data shows only that rods change the trash and treasure odds, so we can’t confirm exactly how rod tier limits catches.
Getting started
Epic Fishing Bait I needs Fish Teeth, which you can’t make until you have a Yellowfin. Break the loop this way:
- Fish with Frogs. Guides from before 1.0 list Frogs as wild bait you pick up in Veilwater Basin, and they give each epic fish a 24% share.
- Turn your first Yellowfin into Fish Teeth.
- Craft Epic Fishing Bait I at the Fisher: 1 Frog, 20 Gold Coins, 2 Capybara Bristles and 1 Fish Teeth make 10 bait (3:30).
Each batch of 10 bait uses one Fish Teeth, so set one aside from every batch of catches.
Gold Coins add up. Ten dust costs 20 coins at the Fisher, and each batch of epic bait costs 20 more. Since 1.0, chests everywhere drop Gold Coins (Keen changelog), so open chests on the way to Veilwater Basin.
What uses Piscine Ivory Dust
The wiki and allthings.how agree on these amounts:
| Item | Station | Piscine Ivory Dust |
|---|---|---|
| Flame upgrade, level 9 to 10 | Flame Altar | 10 |
| Sunpiercer Gloves | Blacksmith | 4 |
| Golden Bulwark Helmet | Blacksmith | 2 |
| Golden Bulwark Pants | Blacksmith | 2 |
| Quetzal Hunter Gloves | Hunter | 2 |
| Quetzal Hunter Shoes | Hunter | 2 |
| Tidecaller Gloves | Alchemist | 2 |
| Tidecaller Headpiece | Alchemist | 2 |
| Waveborne Ritualist Gloves | Alchemist | 2 |
| Shield of Arisztar, Golden Bulwark Shield, Sunpiercer Shield | Blacksmith | 1 each |
| Astrodome, Crestflame and Emberguard shields (Cinder’s Cradle tier) | Blacksmith | 1 each |
Making every item on the list once takes 24 dust, plus 10 for the Flame. The three Cinder’s Cradle shields also need Celestium Bars, Moonstone and Diamond Dust, so keep a few dust after the Flame upgrade.
Fish Teeth and Fish Bones have uses of their own. Skull Stalker and Bloodfeather helmets need 2 Fish Teeth, and their gloves need 2 Fish Bones. The Common and Uncommon fishing baits each use 1 Fish Bones. Don’t grind every fish part if you’re making those sets.
How long it takes
The Mill is the bottleneck. Ten dust takes 30 minutes at 3:00 each. Mills run while you’re away, but only with power, from windmill sails or a water wheel partly under water. Since Patch 1.0.1.0, water wheels turn properly in moving water. If you have more Mills, split the fish parts between them.
Factories run faster in 1.0 (Keen changelog), but we haven’t seen a 1.0 Mill time other than 3:00. Don’t plan around a shorter one.
Tips
- Do this before the rest of Flame 10. You need fishing gear, bait, coins and Mill time, so it takes longer than the other Flame 10 materials. Start grinding the dust while you farm Drak Blood and Daylily.
- Use marked fishing spots. Keen changed trash and treasure odds for “specifically marked fishing spots”. PinDrop’s map scan sorts spots by type (more fish, more treasure, mostly trash). Pick a “more fish” spot to farm.
- Don’t fish inside a co-op base without permission. 1.0 stopped players without permission from throwing fish into a base, because fish took up slots in the base’s animal limit.
