There are many resources and materials to collect in New World and there are several ways to find them. Some of these resources are rare and therefore difficult to find. One of these resources is petrified wood. If you were wondering how to get your hands on petrified wood, the answer is simple.
To find petrified wood, just cut down trees. Although it's a fairly simple task, your chances of getting Petrified Wood are actually quite low. Typically, you'll get a lot of green wood, resin, or sap. But you can improve your chances of getting petrified wood.

To do this, you can first increase your journaling skills. The higher it is, the more likely you will get Petrified Wood in drop form. Using higher level pickaxes is another way to improve your chances. Finally, you can consume items that increase your connection chance.
You will want to find Petrified Wood as it is used in several crafting recipes. You will need this type of wood if you want to craft the Venerable Recurve, Sparklight, Breach Hunter's Fire Staff, Adept Cryomancer's Gauntlet, or Arctic Dusk. It might be a bit boring to chop down trees, but it's worth it in the end.
