Upgrading armor seems to be like a challenge for many Black Myth Wukong players because it’s not as easy as using spirits in the game.
As a result, gamers are flocking to the internet to find a way to improve their armor capabilities in Black Myth Wukong. With that said, here’s your comprehensive guide to upgrading armor.
How to upgrade armor in Black Myth Wukong
Simply put, armor upgrade in Black Myth Wukong is only possible when you interact with an NPC called Blacksmith Yin Tiger.
The NPC spawns in the Painted Realm, an area that unlocks after you complete a side quest involving the characters Xu Dog and Chen Loong in Chapter 3.
The area essentially serves as a central location for merchants where players can purchase various services including the armor upgrade by talking to the Blacksmith Yin Tiger.
However, it’s worth noting that upgrading armor in Black Myth Wukong requires you to spend Will and one of the essential materials known as Silk. Thankfully, both of these resources can easily be acquired by defeating enemies.
However, bear in mind that Silk isn’t easy to come by in some cases, especially if you’re still lurking in the first chapter. As you progress to the next stage, you’ll find that enemies drop rarer materials including the Silk.
If you’re short on this material, you can return to the gameplay, gather the necessary Silk, and then use fast travel to teleport directly to the Painted Realm to start the upgrade process. And if you’re up for a challenge, you can always take on the Blacksmith Yin Tiger in a battle to test your strength.
As you may expect, the armor upgrades improve your character defense capabilities, which means you’ll be more resilient against enemy attacks and survive longer during intense battles.
