Resource management in Ghost of Tsushima revolves around two primary currencies: Supplies and Steel (for Ghost weapons and armor upgrades) and Iron and various Flowers (for katana and armor upgrades, respectively). Supplies are abundant and can be gathered from defeated enemies, found in camps, and collected from various points in the world. Steel is rarer and is primarily obtained by liberating Mongol camps and outposts. Flowers are collected from specific blooming bushes scattered throughout the island and are crucial for upgrading Jin's armor. Ghost resources, such as Kunai and Smoke Bombs, are replenished by visiting merchants or finding them in the environment. Samurai resources, like Resolve, are gained through successful combat and are used for powerful sword techniques and healing. Balancing the acquisition and expenditure of these resources is key to ensuring Jin is adequately equipped for the challenges ahead. Prioritize upgrades that al with your playstyle, whether it's enhancing your katana for direct combat or stocking up on Ghost weapons for a stealthier approach.
