It only takes 4 Iron Ingots and 1 Redstone Dust to make a regular Compass, which is what you’ll need for this recipe. Since tracking down the Echo Shards could take some time, it’s best to get this step out of the way early.

New to the game in the most recent major patch, Echo Shards can be found exclusively in the game’s Ancient Cities. Check out our Ancient City Survival Guide for information on how to stay alive in these dangerous urban areas, complete with advice on how to avoid being killed by the Warden.
