To get Sunrise Dew in the action RPG Derelict on Roblox (created by Scrambledly Studios), you must chop down Willow Trees during the in-game sunrise. The resource does not drop from ordinary enemies, and standard logging outside of the sunrise window yields only Willow Logs.
Below is the verified breakdown of where to go, the equipment and level requirements needed, and how the tree's orb indicators function.
Requirements to Harvest Sunrise Dew
Harvesting Willow Trees requires progression in both exploration and gathering skills. Third-party guides and community gameplay report slightly different Logging skill thresholds, so meet or exceed these benchmarks before traveling out:
- Location Access: Unlock the Weeping Grove area (and activate its Bonsai warp point) or the Weeping Cavern.
- Axe Quality: A Steel Axe or higher is required according to community walkthroughs. Lower tier axes (such as Old, Bronze, or Iron) are not sufficient.
- Logging Level: Item Level Gaming notes a minimum requirement of Logging Level 26, whereas player testing recorded in video guides indicates Logging Level 28 is required to fell Willow Trees. Aim for at least Level 28 to avoid gathering restrictions.
Step-by-Step: How to Harvest Sunrise Dew
Willow Trees feature a visual tell that alerts you when Sunrise Dew can drop. Follow these steps during your gathering run:
- Travel to the Weeping Grove: Fast travel to the Weeping Grove Bonsai or navigate toward the Weeping Cavern. Keep an eye on your surroundings, as hostile mobs spawn in the vicinity.
- Find a Willow Tree at Night: Locate a Willow Tree during nighttime hours. Willow Trees display floating blue orbs around their branches in the dark.
- Wait for Sunrise: Watch the floating orbs closely as night transitions to day. When sunrise begins, the blue orbs shift color and turn bright white. (During standard daytime morning hours, the tree has no floating orbs).
- Chop the Tree Down: Attack and cut down the Willow Tree while the orbs are glowing white.
- Collect the Dew: Once felled during this window, the tree drops Sunrise Dew alongside standard materials. If you chop the tree down after the sunrise phase passes or before the orbs turn white, it drops only Willow Logs.
Sunrise Dew Alchemy Recipes and Uses
According to the Derelict Official Wiki, Sunrise Dew is categorized under Logging materials and is primarily used in Cauldron brewing recipes. Community video walkthroughs also note its general utility in raising Alchemy skills and crafting specific gear like staves, armor, and shadowsilver bars.
The verified Cauldron recipes requiring Sunrise Dew include:

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you get Sunrise Dew directly from monster drops?
No. The official wiki confirms that Sunrise Dew is not directly dropped by enemies. It must be obtained from harvesting Willow Trees.
Why did my Willow Tree drop only Willow Logs?
Willow Trees only yield Sunrise Dew during the brief sunrise window when their floating orbs turn white. Cutting the tree down at night (when the orbs are blue) or during regular daytime hours results strictly in normal Willow Logs.
What should I do if the tree cannot be damaged?
If your character cannot cut down a Willow Tree, verify your tool and skill level. Ensure you have equipped a Steel Axe (or better) and that your Logging skill is at Level 26–28 or higher.
