Last Updated on: 5 January, 2024 | 8:20 AM

If you have been playing LEGO Fortnite for a long time already, you must’ve got a clear idea that this game has a list full of things to craft. The more you progress, the more you unlock new items and equipment that are necessary for your further journey. From the beginning of your LEGO Fortnite journey, crafting will take a vital role and players must build different machines to improve the crafting system to craft a variety of required items. The Loom is one of those machines that players must need after a point. But unfortunately, it was not available from the beginning. Players must unlock and craft Loom. If you are looking for a guide to craft the Loom in LEGO Fortnite, this guide is exactly what you need.

LEGO Fortnite has created a massive fanbase since it was released. Not only battle royale fans, but Sandbox and Survival game fans are also grinding this mode to explore the hardcore open world. Initially, players will spawn in a world that has nothing, but eventually, they will build all the required things, including shelter, farms, crafting bench, and every other item. Loom is among them that players will unlock after they have progressed to a specific point.

Use of the Loom in LEGO Fortnite

Before going to the unlock and crafting process, players must know the use. So, there won’t be any confusion regarding why you should build one. Loom is a machine in LEGO Fortnite that players need to craft a whole collection of different items and furniture. Using a Loom players can make Silk and Wool Fabric. Currently, these are the only two fabrics available in the game. Of course, they need a Spinning Wheel to craft Silk and Wool Threads, that can be placed on Loom to get fabric.

Players can’t get their glider unless they have a Loom. So, Loom is one of the most required utility items of the game. Now that you are aware of its use, let’s check how to unlock it.

How to Unlock the Loom in LEGO Fortnite?

Like most other LEGO Fortnite machines and equipment, this machine recipe will also unlock automatically after players find the key ingredient: Flexwood. Now, if you are unsure of the locations to get Flexwood, let me tell you, you can find them in the Dry Valley. Precisely, on the desert biome. This hot and humid area is the home to the large cactus, which will give players Flexwood.

Though Flexwood can be easily found by chopping Cactus, the process is not as easy as it seems. Players can’t chop Cactus with low-tier weapons. Only Rare Forest Axe will do this task. Now to upgrade your Forest Axe, you must first upgrade your Crafting Bench. The Crafting Bench has two tiers to be leveled up and players must require the Tier-2 upgrade to unlock Rare Forest Axe.

If you are on your way to upgrade the Crafting Bench, let me tell you, this process requires, 12x Knotroot Rods, 15x Marble Slabs, 6x Sand Claws, and 3x Sand Shells. Once the crafting bench upgradation process is done, players can then collect 5x Cut Amber and 3x Knotroot Rods to craft the Rare Forest Axe. None of these ingredients can be found randomly anywhere. There are specific ways to get them.

About farming Knotroot, let me tell you these are common resources that players can get inside the caves. But the only twist is that your basic Forest Axe won’t harvest this item. So, before you are going to search for Knotroot, players must upgrade their Forest Axe to Uncommon rarity.

Next, to get Cut Amber, you need to visit the Dry Valley (desert biome) with the Uncommon Pickaxe. Throughout the biome, you will see yellow rough ambers are scattered. Harvest a few and get back to your base. Now, use the Gem Cutter (build it using 20x Marble Slab, 5x Rough Amber, 5x Sand Claw, and 3x Sand Shell) to transform the rough ambers into Cut Ambers.

Once you are ready with all the required items and ingredients, let’s check the process to craft the Loom.

LEGO Fortnite Loom Crafting Method-Explained

Once you have a Rare Forest Axe, you are ready to get Flexwood, the first and key ingredient to craft a Loom. Only the desert biome has Flexwood, as we have mentioned before. So, you must carry some Snowberry Shake or a Cool-Headed Charm to survive the extreme heat of the Dry Valley. Otherwise, you may lose a huge chunk of health and can even die while collecting the required ingredients.

The location is filled with Cactus. Hit them using your Rare Forest Axe to get Flexwood. Once you have enough Flexwood collected, your next targets will be the Sand Wolves. These animals are the source of Sand Claw. But remember, these wolves are a lot more challenging than the regular wolves found in Grasslands. Players need 6x Sand Claws.

Now that you have Flexwood and Sand Claw, you are almost ready to craft the Loom, but still you need 8x Flexwood Rod. Flexwood Rod is easy to craft. Return to your base with the collected items and place a Flexwood into the Lumber Mill to get Flexwood Rods.

Once you have all the required items in your inventory, go to the build menu and craft the Loom. Place it wherever you find a suitable location. Now, you can get a smooth way to manufacture fabrics to craft more items.

That’s all you need to do to unlock and craft Loom in LEGO Fortnite. This process is lengthy, and can’t be done at early stages. So, don’t rush the process. Progress through the usual method and eventually you will unlock the Loom recipe. Don’t worry, it’s hard to miss. Additionally, we suggest taking a villager with you, especially if you are exploring the Dry Valley at night. Nights are not safe as enemies roam all over the map. Some of the villagers are great fighters who can take down powerful enemies as well. So, having a companion is always an advantage. They can deal with the dangers while you can focus on collecting the required items.
