Make Cut Amber in LEGO Fortnite
Find Rough Amber in Dry Valley
To obtain cut amber, you have to start by finding rough ambers in LEGO Fortnite. You find rough ambers only in the dry valley (desert biome). Explore your map to locate some dry and deserted places. Make sure you keep yourself cold to enter this extremely warm environment.
Once you reach there, locate yellow stones peeking out from the mountains and mine them using your Uncommon Pickaxe.

You will need rough ambers to build the Gem Cutter. You can only get cut amber through the Gem Cutter. So make sure you gather a lot of rough ambers before moving to the next step.
Build a Gem Cutter
After collecting rough amber from the dry valley, you will also need some other resources to build the Gem Cutter. To build a Gem Cutter, you need 20 marble slabs, 5 rough ambers, 5 sand claws, and 3 sand shells.
