We all want the coolest-looking and strongest armor in Enshrouded, but you’ve got to really put in the work to make it happen. Among the many materials needed for higher-tier armor is Padding, so that the heavy metals are comfy when you wear them, and just that little bit stronger when they take the hits.

We’ll explain how to make Padding and where you can find each of the required ingredients.

How to make Padding in Enshrouded

The recipe for Padding is:

  • 3 Fabric
  • 1 Leather
  • 2 Resin
  • 3 Linen

For almost all of this, you’ll need to complete quests for the Hunter.

Starting with Linen, you can get this by completing the Hunter’s third quest and getting the Hand Spindle, which will let you turn two Flax Flowers into one Linen.

The Hunter’s fourth quest will get you the Tanning Station, which is what you need to craft Leather, and finally, their fifth quest will get you the Loom, which you can use to turn Linen into Fabric.

Finally, Resin is the easiest part of this equation, as you get it from cutting down big trees.

Put that all together and the Padding is yours.

Phillies’ 1.83 ERA starter drawing trade interest ahead of deadline

The Philadelphia Phillies have one of the best starting rotations in baseball. Not only do they have a great front five, but there goes, potentially, eight pitchers deep with MLB talent. Unsurprisingly, with such a surplus of talent, the Phillies are drawing trade interest in their starters. Ranger Suarez, whose contract expires at the end of the year, would be a typical trade deadline candidate. But he's going nowhere. Instead, according to Matt Gelb of The Athletic, the Phillies are drawing trade interest in Phillies right-handed prospect Mick Abel. The 23-year-old starter could be a trade chip if the Phillies find a suitable trade target. "... Same goes for Mick Abel," Gelb writes, "who is drawing trade interest." The Phillies right-hander has impressed in his brief Major League stint, even if he now sits at a 5.04 ERA in six starts. His ceiling, which he displayed in his MLB debut, is enough to captivate teams around baseball. In the minors, Abel has been dominant this season. He has a 1.83 ERA in 12 starts in Triple-A, a significant improvement over his 6.46 ERA in 2024. Abel's progress this season has been incredible, and has teams interested in trading for him. If the Phillies find a trade partner for an outfielder or a dominant reliever, Abel could be a centerpiece of a deal to land such a player at the deadline. With the crowded rotation, Abel might not have a starting role on the roster for the rest of the season. He could go to the bullpen for the postseason run or be dealt to land a high-profile reliever or outfielder. But, regardless of what the Phillies do with Abel, this report from Gelb is a good sign. If teams around baseball are interested in Abel, then his progress isn't just a facade; it's something teams are willing to buy in on.

Commanders' Jayden Daniels discusses Terry McLaurin's holdout amid contract dispute

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin reportedly wants "to bring a deal together" with his current employer regarding a contract extension. Still, he nevertheless elected to stay away from the team during the start of training camp practices this week. While speaking with reporters on Wednesday, Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels was understandably asked about McLaurin's absence. "I would talk to Terry like if he was here, just checking up on him, at the end of the day, that's just a relationship that we have on and off the field," Daniels said, Newsweek's Justin Grasso shared. "This is just business in the NFL. You know, we know Terry's working. We don't really have to worry about him doing any of that, but at the end of the day, he's still one of our brothers." After the Commanders made Daniels the second overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, McLaurin became the favorite target of the signal-caller, who ultimately earned Offensive Rookie of the Year Award honors. According to ESPN stats, McLaurin finished the 2024 season with team highs of 82 receptions, 117 targets and 1,096 receiving yards. He was also second in the entire league with 13 touchdown catches. Per ESPN's John Keim, Commanders head coach Dan Quinn insisted on Wednesday that the McLaurin situation is simply "part of the business of our league." McLaurin is in the final year of his current contract, and NFL reporter Henry McKenna of Fox Sports suggested earlier in the week that the 29-year-old could "be interested in working out something similar" to the five-year, $150M deal that the Pittsburgh Steelers handed wide receiver DK Metcalf in March. "It helps out a lot [we worked together last year]," Daniels added about McLaurin. "If this was last year, probably different because we didn't know each other. Now, we have a whole year under our belt, and just the relationship we built on and off the field. We don't really have egos when it comes to our relationship with each other, so it's going to be seamless. I know Terry's working, though. ...Whenever the time comes and he's back out on the field, I don't think we'll miss a beat." As of Wednesday afternoon, DraftKings Sportsbook had the Commanders team, which lost this year's NFC Championship Game, sixth among the betting favorites at +1800 odds to win Super Bowl LX. Such information suggests that now may not be the best time for Washington to be stingy, regardless of McLaurin's contract requests.

Jaxson Dart had worst start imaginable at Giants training camp

Jaxson Dart had worst start imaginable at Giants training camp

The New York Giants officially opened training camp on Wednesday, and the good news for Jaxson Dart was that the rookie had nowhere to go but up after his first play of practice. Dart’s very first pass of 11-on-11 drills was intercepted by third-year cornerback Nic Jones. Dart stared his receiver down the entire way, and Jones showed the former Ole Miss star why doing so in the NFL is never a good idea. The whistle blew after the interception, but Jones would have taken it the other way for a touchdown had the play been live. Like any rookie quarterback, Dart is going to make plenty more mistakes in training camp. Brian Daboll and the Giants’ coaching staff will be more interested in how Dart bounces back from them. The Giants traded up to select Dart in the first round and are very high on his ability. They plan to bring him along slowly, which Daboll seemed to reiterate again on Wednesday. Dart led the SEC with 4,279 passing yards last season. He threw 29 touchdown passes and is known for having a strong arm, but throwing windows get significantly tighter in the NFL. Dart will learn that as he gains more experience.

This Pirates star is a hot commodity ahead of the trade deadline

This Pirates star is a hot commodity ahead of the trade deadline

With the July 31 MLB trade deadline looming, rumors are starting to fly. The expanded postseason bracket has more teams believing that they're still in the mix, which makes it hard to identify which teams are buying or selling. However, one team that certainly won’t be making the playoffs is the Pittsburgh Pirates (42-61). Some of the Pirates' veteran players have been floating around in trade talks over recent weeks, though one name that emerged on Wednesday is the most interesting of them all. According to beat writer Noah Hiles of the Post-Gazette, star outfielder Oneil Cruz has been drawing significant interest leading up to the deadline. "Sources told the Post-Gazette the Pirates have received many calls on Cruz, who boasts three years of remaining club control after 2025 and is arbitration eligible starting next season. It’s worth noting the Pirates are not actively shopping Cruz but are listening to what other teams are willing to offer. There have been no teams connected to Cruz as of the time of this writing,” Hiles wrote. Hiles went on to mention that any return package is hard to predict given Cruz’s inconsistencies thus far, despite his obvious special abilities. It makes sense that other teams would be intrigued by the possibility of acquiring the 26-year-old in hopes of unleashing his potential in a new location. Just about every team in the league could use a powerful left-handed bat added to the middle of their order. Through 91 games in 2025, Cruz has piled up 16 HRs and 40 RBI but is hitting at just a .219 average through Tuesday. His numbers are down from the 2024 season, though the baseball world saw his power on display at the Home Run Derby last week in Atlanta. It's fair to say it would take a pretty substantial offer to actually pry Cruz out of Pittsburgh, though it sounds like teams could feel compelled enough to do just that. It would certainly spice things up at a deadline that is lacking in terms of big names potentially being on the move.
