WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Silk Thread from Spider Silk
Spider Cocoons and Silk-dropping spiders in regions you have reached; process the gathered Silk at a Loom & Spindle.
Before you go
- Weapon and armor suited to the spider area you plan to visit.
- Flint Shears for opening Spider Cocoons.
- Inventory space for Silk and other drops.
- A Loom & Spindle for processing.
Farming steps
- Check the Loom & Spindle recipe and decide how much Silk Thread you need.
- Choose a reachable spider area and equip for its local threats.
- Search for Spider Cocoons and spiders listed as Silk sources.
- Use Flint Shears to open cocoons and collect any Silk they yield.
- Defeat only the spiders you can handle safely, then check their drops for Silk.
- Return when you have enough raw Silk or your pack is filling.
- At the Loom & Spindle, process Silk into Silk Thread as required.
- Store any remaining raw Silk separately from the finished thread.
- Silk and Silk Thread are different items; match the recipe’s exact name before processing.
- Bring Flint Shears specifically for Spider Cocoons.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat cocoon and spider collection as needed, then spin the Silk at the Loom & Spindle. Drops vary, so base the next trip on the amount actually collected.
Common mistakes
- Searching plant patches for Silk: use Spider Cocoons or listed spider sources.
- Trying to make thread at another station: process it at a Loom & Spindle.
- Opening cocoons without Flint Shears: bring the listed cutting tool.
When to stop or switch
Stop when your target recipe has enough Silk Thread, then switch to whichever remaining ingredient is short.
