Around the mid-game of God of War Ragnarok, you'll need to start collecting Stonewood to upgrade your gear and stats further. Here's my primer on the best ways of collecting the resource.
Where can you find Stonewood?
There are many ways to gather Stonewood throughout your journey, and you're likely to passively gain it as you go.
First and foremost, you'll want to go exploring, as one of the best sources of Stonewood is by finding chests. There are little secrets and nooks and crannies throughout the game where you are likely to find treasure chests.
Going thorough and finding everything you can is a great policy for ensuring you are always well stocked on materials. Specifically for Stonewood, you want to be doing this somewhere like Vanaheim, rather than in earlier areas.
Another great source of Stonewood, among other materials, is completing treasure hunts. Occasionally, you will stumble across treasure maps. Following these and finding their treasures can net you a bunch of useful things, including Stonewood.
Specific sources of Stonewood
To more specifically focus on Stonewood, you should get to Vanaheim and complete the main story there.
Vanaheim has many areas blocked off by large mushroom plants which you can't remove at first. Before you leave the area, you will be able to clear them out. Once you can, take another trip through the realm, clearing out the mushrooms and gathering the Stonewood they hide.
Another consistent source of Stonewood is the Yggdrassil Rifts. These events pop up across the game, and essentially they are locations where enemies from other realms can appear out of place.
Seek out these Yggdrassil Rifts in Midgard and defeat the enemies that come through. Doing so will reward you with some Stonewood.
Much like with Rawhide, Stonewood can be purchased from the Huldra brothers later in the game, at a point where it is no longer the most relevant resource to your level. Still, it can be useful to get, and buying a bundle of five for 2500 Hacksilver is a good option.
