How to get Refined Iron Sand in Black Myth: Wukong

Time for a weapon tier upgrade.

Refined Iron Sand is going to be a bit of a rare resource as you get through Chapter 2 of Black Myth: Wukong. Itā€™ll be needed to craft the next level of weapon gear after the Wind Bear Staff.

To get Refined Iron Sand in Black Myth: Wukong, you have to progress into Chapter 3 of the story. After defeating the Yellow Wind Sage, you should get one piece of this.

Next, youā€™ll find more by exploring the side areas and opening chests. However, youā€™ll still need a few to craft the staff.

Keep going until you get to the Mirrormere area. This will be the second Shrine you find in the third chapter. When you arrive at Mirrormere, you can activate the Shrine and actually buy one unit of Refined Iron Sand.Ā 

With only one left to get, you will have to defeat the Kang-Jin Loong boss just up ahead at the frozen lake. Youā€™ll be thrown into a new area in this chapter upon defeating her. The final pieces of Refined Iron Sand youā€™ll need should be in chests in the Pagoda Realm.

Much like Silk and other materials that were once scarce, Refined Iron Sand will become a more common resource as you progress through Black Myth: Wukong.Ā 

Make it a habit to periodically check the shop either from NPCs or Shrines to see if you can buy a few more units of crafting materials such as this. Itā€™ll speed up the process of getting better gear as you further progress through the game.

Items from these shops are going to cost Will, but you can always farm that up in areas with dense enemy spawns.
