In this guide for Black Myth: Wukong, I'll briefly discuss how you can get it and what the uses are for Silk in terms of upgrading or crafting equipment.
Key Takeaways
Silk is a rare quality crafting material which is used to craft new armor in the game, the amount of Silk required for the armor may depend on the armor's rarity but generally you'll want to have a minimum of two Silk to craft any of the basic ones that require it as an ingredient.

How To Find Silk
From what we've played in Black Myth: Wukong, the following are the few known locations and methods to obtain Silk:- Keeper's Shrines: Silk can be bought from the first chapter's Ancient Guanyin Temple Shrine, there are even more Shrines throughout the game that offer materials like it but this is where you can easily get your first two Silk.
- Chests: Starting from Chapter 2, I got various amounts of Silk from opening chests via exploration, you can easily get up to 2-4 Silk from chests.
- Bossfights: A few of Black Myth: Wukong's recurring bosses, such as the Yaoguai Kings can also drop Silk as rewards when defeated.
- Enemy Drops: Just like the chests from Chapter 2, you'll encounter the Rat and Spearbone enemies in this chapter, the Archer Rat enemies dropped anywhere from 1 to 2 Silk when I killed them so you should get plenty when killing these enemies in large crowds.
