Silk Farming
Silk is a crucial crafting material in Ghost of Tsushima, primarily used for upgrading Jin's armor. Obtaining enough silk is essential for maximizing the defensive capabilities and unlocking the full potential of your chosen armor sets, making you more resilient against the Mongol onslaught.
While silk can be purchased from merchants, farming it is a more efficient method for acquiring large quantities. Certain enemy types, particularly those encountered in specific regions or during certain missions, are more likely to drop silk upon defeat. Strategic engagement and repeated encounters in these areas will ensure a steady supply.
Where to Find Silk:
- Mongol Forces: Certain Mongol enemies, especially those found in larger encampments or during specific story missions, have a higher chance of dropping silk.
- Merchants: While not a farming method, merchants will sell silk, though it can be costly.
- Specific Locations: Keep an eye out for areas with a high concentration of Mongol patrols or encampments, as these are prime spots for silk acquisition.
Focusing your efforts on these sources will allow you to quickly gather the silk needed to upgrade your armor and enhance Jin's survivability.
