In the first couple of chapters of Black Myth: Wukong, you unlock the ability to craft armor and gear that reduces damage taken from enemies, allowing you to survive longer in combat. Since the game is based on ancient Chinese mythology, armor is crafted using simple materials like
Silk and
Yarn.
Yarn is a relatively common material in Black Myth: Wukong, but you’ll need to farm it to keep up with your armor upgrades. If you’re struggling to get more Yarn, this guide covers the most efficient ways to farm it.
What To Do With The Sobering Stone In Black Myth: Wukong
The Sobering Stone is a rare item found in Chapter 2 of Black Myth: Wukong; here's what you need to do with it after finding it.
How To Get Yarn in Black Myth: Wukong
Even though it doesn’t grow on trees like some of the other materials in Black Myth: Wukong, there are still a few different ways you can get Yarn:
Purchase From The Keeper’s Shrine
All Keeper’s Shrines come with a dedicated shop where you can purchase different crafting materials, including Yarn. You can buy four Yarns at a time from any of the Keeper’s Shrines shops.
One piece of Yarn costs 300
Will.
Black Myth: Wukong - How to Farm Will
Here’s how you can farm Will efficiently in Black Myth: Wukong and use it to enhance the Destined One’s abilities.
Although this is sufficient for crafting a few armor pieces, you'll need to explore alternative methods to get more Yarn for a complete armor set in Black Myth: Wukong.
Defeat Elite Enemies And Bosses
Even though the chances are slim, Yarn is randomly dropped when you defeat enemies around the map. This won’t yield a ton of Yarn, but you can rest at a Shrine and respawn the enemies to defeat them repeatedly and farm Yarn. The best places for this farm are Black Wind Mountain and Yellow Wind Ridge.
Besides this, elite enemies and minibosses, like the Yaoguai Chiefs, often drop rare crafting resources, including Yarn.
Open Chests
You can also find crafting materials like Yarn and Silk inside wooden chests scattered across the map.
How To Use Yarn in Black Myth: Wukong
Yarn is one of the key materials required to craft armor in Black Myth: Wukong. To craft armor, visit a Shrine and select the Craft Armor option. Creating a single piece of armor typically requires only a small amount of Yarn. However, if you wish to craft the entire set, you’ll need a lot more.
Some armor sets that require this material are:
- Pilgrim’s Set: Headband, Garb, Wristwraps, and Legwraps.
- Serpentscale Set: Battlerobe, Bracers, and Gaiters.
- Bronze Set: Monkey Mask, Armguard, Brocade Battlerobe, and Buskins.
