If there is a part of the map that is charred or a lava area there are trees that drop charcoal

Go to either the black forest on val or the red forest on crys isles and use a wyvs/crystal wyvs wing flap attack and youll get tons of charcoal. U can also burn a ton of wood in an indus forge

For ragnarok go to the volcano and gather charcoal from the burnt trees

Burn wood in industrial forge for fast charcoal

Go to the red forest on Crystal isles, or any charcoal forest and use the stryder on the trees, you get 6k-9k charcoal per tree

Use more than 100 campfire and put 100 woods for each

Now you make air pollution for ark

Don't discard in early game. Later on it can be used for many things, including gunpowder.

If you are on Rag then go break the trees in the volcano area and bam you have several thousand charcoal

Best way to farm this late game is use tek gauntlets on the charcoal trees on crystal I was getting 600+ per hit on smalls

I wish when I was new that I knew that u shouldn’t get rid of charcoal. I can remember dispensing multiple full stacks…..
