Genshin Impact wood locations: Where to find the housing materials you need
There are seven different wood variants in Genshin Impact. Each of them are listed below along with where to find them, and a picture showing you what each tree type looks like. All you need to do to harvest the wood is find the relevant tree and attack it with your weapon—you'll know if you've got the right item when it pops up on the left side of your screen.
Birch wood
Genshin Impact birch wood locations: Stormbearer Mountains, Starfell Lake, Cape Oath
Birch trees are difficult to miss. Their leaves are light, bright, and the wood itself is very pale. These trees really stand out.
Cuihua wood
Genshin Impact Cuihua wood locations: Mondstadt, Falcon Coast, Dadaupa Gorge
Cuihua trees, well, less so. If someone were to ask you to picture a tree, this'd probably be it. These bulbous trees are full of lush green leaves and the wood itself is dark.

Bamboo segment
Genshin Impact Bamboo segment locations: Qingce Village, Wuwang Hill
You'll find Qingce Bamboo trees all over Liyue, but they're especially populous in the suitably-named, Qingce Village. Their trunks are very thin with green, bushy tops.
Sandbearer wood
Genshin Impact Sandbearer wood locations: Mt. Tianheng, Mt. Aozang, Dihua Marsh
When approaching the Liyue areas mentioned above, look out for the warm yellowy-orange tint of the Sandbearer tree for this wood type.
Pine wood
Genshin Impact pine wood locations: Entombed City - Ancient Palace, Snow-Covered Path, Wuwang Hill
You can venture to the chilly climes of Dragonspine for pine wood, but there are other available spots you can head to for it. Look out for tall, thin trees with a smattering of snow on them (if you go for the former route).
Cedar wood
Genshin Impact Fragrant Cedar Wood locations: Whispering Woods, Starfell Lake, Springvale
The trunks on cedar trees tend to brand out in different directions at the top. These green-leaved trees can be found dotting the terrain in the starter area of the game.
Fir wood
Genshin Impact fir wood locations: Stormbearer Mountains, Starsnatch Cliff, Falcon Coast
Fir trees can be tough to distinguish for Cuihua and pine trees from a distance. But, once you're up close, look for the wiry leaves that make these trees unique.

He has also produced features, reviews, and even more guides for Trusted Reviews, TechRadar and Top Ten Reviews.
