Resources and Materials Farming Guide – Ghost of Tsushima
Our Ghost of Tsushima Resources Farming Guide details everything that you need to know about farming resources and materials in Ghost of Tsushima.
Gold
Higher-level weapon upgrades will also require Gold which is one of the rarest resources in Ghost of Tsushima. You can purchase Gold from Trappers but it is relatively expensive. To find some free gold in the game, you must find and clear enemy strongholds. On the map, they are the red castle icons. Gold is only found from enemy strongholds. No smaller enemy outpost or farm will give you gold.
Iron
If you want to upgrade your melee weapons, you will need Iron for that. Iron can be found at small enemy outposts. Not only do you find them lying around in these small enemy outposts, but you also receive them as a reward for liberating these enemy outposts. Make sure that you liberate every small enemy outpost that comes in your way so that you have plenty of iron in your stock. You can also purchase Iron from Trappers in the game but they will cost you Supplies.
Leather
Leather is used primarily to upgrade your armor suits. Since armor upgrades are important for your survival in the game, you will need plenty of leather in-hand to ensure that you are always ready for your upgrades. Trapper sell them in exchange for some Supplies and you can also find them at enemy camps. Make sure you thoroughly search enemy camps after clearing them out. Side Tales also reward you with Leather upon their completion.
Linen
Similar to Leather, Linen is important if you want to upgrade your armor pieces. Since armor upgrades are important in the game, it is vital that you have a good amount of Linen at hand for all of these upgrades. You can purchase Linen from different Trappers found all over the world in exchange of some Supplies. Clear out enemy camps as they are also a good source of some surplus linen. Completing Side Tales is also an effective way of finding some Linen.
Silk
Silk is also required for armor upgrades however it is only used for the highest-quality armor upgrades. This is also the rarest resource as compared to Linen and Leather. You do not find Silk in enemy camps. You can only find Silk as a reward for completing some of the Side Tales in the game or can be bought from certain Trappers in the game. There is no other way of obtaining Silk in Ghost of Tsushima.
Steel
Steel is another resource that you will need in order to upgrade your melee weapons. Similar to iron, Steel requirements increase as the level of upgrades increase. It is vital for upgrading your main katana and Tanto Dagger. You can find steel in enemy outposts. After you’ve cleared them out, make sure that you check out inside the tents to find steel. Liberating outposts also reward you with Steel sometimes. Free up some farms to get even more Steel. If you want some quickly, Trappers will sell you Steel in exchange for some supplies. Unlike Iron, Steel is much rarer and harder to find in the game.
Supplies
Supplies are your main currency in the game and you will use them for purchasing items and other materials as well from different merchants. Supplies are also used to upgrade your weapons and gear so you must always have a good amount of supplies at your hand. With Supplies being so important in the game, they are not that hard to acquire in the game as you can find them from a variety of sources in the game.
For starters, all killed enemies will drop supplies for you. Make sure that you loot all killed enemies before moving on. Clear out Mongols from different farms and you will find plenty of supplies at these farms. Supplies are available in large quantities at enemy camps as well. Clear them out for finding a good number of supplies. Random patrols roaming around will drop supplies as well. Make sure that you check out different locations while heading for main objectives during quests to find some supplies as well.
Wax Wood
Wax Wood is unique for high-level Bow Upgrades and similar to Gold, it is also pretty rare in the game. You can only find Wax Wood by purchasing it from Trappers for a high price or find them on the path while heading towards Shinto Shrines. Shinto Shrines require excessive climbing so it is a high risk/high reward resource.
