Textiles farming tips
Gathering textiles can be time-consuming if done randomly, so use these steps for efficiency:
- Equip the Charm of Bountiful Harvest. It increases the chance of obtaining double materials from lootable sources.
- Focus on enemy-rich areas like the Tokachi Pass outposts. Use stealth to eliminate groups quickly, ensuring minimal alert time.
- Loot indoor areas systematically — left to right — to avoid missing small chests or drawers. Textiles often blend with the environment.
- Sell excess resources at merchant posts to earn silver and repurchase textiles when available. Merchant inventories refresh after major quests or resting.
Textile uses
Textiles serve a dual purpose:
- They are used to upgrade different armor sets, which improve protection and provide unique perks tailored to different combat and exploration styles.
- They also play a role in crafting arrows, essential for ranged combat strategies.
| Upgrade Type | Textiles Required | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Samurai Armor Upgrade I | 10 | +10% defense |
| Shinobi Armor Upgrade I | 12 | +15% stealth efficiency |
| Traveling Garb Upgrade I | 8 | +10% movement speed |
| Traveler’s Cloak Upgrade II | 15 | +10% resolve gain |
By collecting textiles consistently, players can keep their armor and ammunition optimized, improving their overall effectiveness against enemies.
Getting textiles for upgrades
You can begin collecting textiles early in the Yōtei Grasslands phase. However, high-quality textiles like Silk and Fine Cloth become accessible after progressing past the Bridge of Resolve questline. Stockpiling early ensures you can upgrade multiple outfits later without grinding.
Textiles may seem common at first, but managing them efficiently defines how smoothly you can upgrade armor and adapt to tougher fights. Revisit known camps regularly, clear interiors thoroughly, and pair your farming runs with resource-boosting charms for the best results.
