During your time playingBlack Myth: Wukong, you’ll encounter numerous bosses, and as their difficulty increases with your progress, you should consistently keep your gear up to date to match the rising challenge.
In order to keep your armor current, use the game’s crafting system, which lets you create new weapons and armor sets that boost your character’s stats, such as Attack and Defense. To craft these items, you’ll need to gather materials scattered across various regions in the game, with each gear tier requiring different materials.

How To Get Refined Iron Sand
While you might notice the need forRefined Iron Sandas early as Chapter Two,you’ll only start obtaining it after reaching Chapter Three, which is the snow region.
In case you’re wondering about the need for Refined Iron Sand, it’s because it’s used to upgrade the Staff to a higher tier, improving its stats.
The first one you can acquire in Chapter Three is fromthe Keeper’s Shrine store,where it will beavailable for sale at the cost of Will. As youdefeat more enemies and open chests in this region, you’ll have additional chances to obtain this crafting material.
The game often restricts the availability of new crafting materials at first, but as you progress, you’ll find them more frequently until a new material is needed. So,explore thoroughly, find those chests, and regularly check the Keeper’s Shrine store in case they sell it, as supplies will be limited.
Later in the game,after unlocking theRuyi Scrollfrom Chen Loong, which takes you to a secret hub area,you’ll find Yin Tiger, the blacksmith. He has a shop where you can purchase as much Refined Iron Sand as you need.
It likely becomes available after Chapter Four and onward,though we’re not entirely sure of the exact point.
