How to get flexwood in lego fortnite
Flexwood grows in the desert biome – the Dry valley – so you have to go there first. You know you're in the right place when you start to get warm and see cacti (cactuses?) everywhere.

Flexwood is the raw material you get by cutting down those cacti. But to collect or even damage cacti, you need a rare forest axe (or better). To make one, you will need 5 cut amber and 3 knot root rods. For cut amber you must process raw amber in a Gem cutting workbench (4 marble slabs, 5 rough amber, 5 sand claws, 3 sand shells).
While you're making things, consider making a cool-headed charm (3 silk thread, 1 marble and 3 sand shells) to increase your resistance to high temperatures.

Flexwood, like knotroot, is another gateway resource that unlocks a new level of items. You need flex wood as one of the raw materials you need upgrade your village to levels 9 and 10 (in blank and bar forms respectively).
Flexwood rods also unlock new weapons and tools such as the rare pickaxe (3 flexwood bars and 3 sand claws), rare recurve crossbow (8 flexwood rods and 1 drawstring)and the unusual knight's shield (8 flexwood bars and 3 cord). You will also need flex wood when you start building vehicles.
