Silk is a vital crafting material in Ark Survival Ascended, especially after the Scorched Earth DLC. If you’re a beginner or just want a simple guide on how to get silk, you’re in the right place. There are three main ways to collect silk in the game. Let’s go through them one by one.
Kill the Lymantria (Desert Moth)
One of the fastest ways to get silk is by hunting the Lymantria, also known as the desert moth. You’ll find them in the Scorched Earth map, mostly in high desert or mountainous areas. After killing it, use a Metal Hatchet or a Sabertooth to harvest silk from its body.
Harvest White and Purple Flowers
You can also collect silk from special desert plants. Look for white flowers near water sources, such as dry riverbeds. The purple flowers are more common near red and green obelisks. To collect silk from these plants, you can:
- Use a Mantis
- Use a Therizinosaurus (best yield)
- Use a Sickle
Tips for Farming More Efficiently
- Therizinosaurus is the best dino for gathering large amounts of silk from flowers.
- Try combining methods: farm both flowers and Lymantria to save time.
- If playing solo, you can use console commands to spawn Lymantria for farming.
Getting silk is simple once you know where to look. Whether you use the Lymantria or harvest white flowers and purple flowers in Scorched Earth, you’ll gather enough silk for making whips, tents, or desert armor.
