How to Craft Armor in Black Myth: Wukong

If you’ve unlocked some armor pieces, you can craft them at any Keeper’s Shrine. Start with the one in the Guanyin Temple, Forest of Wolves, in Chapter 1 of Black Myth: Wukong after defeating Guangzhi. You’ll unlock the Pilgrim’s armor set.

Here are the steps to craft an armor in the game:

Head to any Keeper’s Shrine close to you and interact with it.
On the menu, select Craft Armor. You’ll be directed to the screen to craft your armor.
Next, choose the type of armor you want to craft.
If you have enough items, you’ll see the option to Hold to Craft. Click on it, and the armor will be yours.

As previously stated, you must first unlock the recipe for the armor and have some Wills before crafting it. Other times, you may need items like Silk and Yarn. Also, while you can wear armor pieces from different sets, equipping a certain number of pieces from the same set grants you set bonuses.

How to Upgrade an Armor in Black Myth: Wukong

At first, some armor sets provide minimal defense, but upgrading them unlocks their full potential. To access the Upgrade Armor option in Black Myth: Wukong, you need to find the blacksmith Yin Tiger. He is one of the NPC merchants in Zodiac Village. Here are the tasks you need to perform:

Find Chen Loong in Chapter 3 of Black Myth: Wukong and complete his quests to obtain the Ruyi Scroll.
Use the Ruyi Scroll to teleport to the Painted Realm, located in Zodiac Village, where you will find Yin Tiger and get the Upgrade Armor option in his menu.

Selecting the Upgrade Armor option will allow you to enhance any armor you already have in the game.
