You must be in a Dry Valley biome to harvest Lego Fornite flexwood. Once there, use a rare axe to chop down tall cactus, which drops flexwood.

Locating a desert shouldn’t be too difficult thanks to its distinct appearance. Given the biome’s red sand and tall rock formations, you should even be able to spot the desert from a distance, particularly if you can reach high ground.

If you still need to find Lego Fortnite knotwood, we’ve got a dedicated guide to help, and then you can turn it into rods at a lumber mill. To find cut amber, mine rough amber in the desert with an uncommon pickaxe, and then turn it into cut amber using a gem cutter.
