Silk is an essential resource for crafting tents, whips, and desert armor in Ark Lost Island. Silk is primarily extracted by hunting down animals such as Lymantria or harvesting small white and purple flowers.
Use a Sabertooth or Metal Hatchet to kill and harvest the creature to get silk. If you’re hunting for the flowers, you can either pick them from your hands or use a sickle, but you won’t get much yield, so we recommend using Therizinosaur.
This guide highlights some of the best ways to farm silk in Ark Lost Island, and if you run out of farming options, you can always use the spawn command to add the item to your inventory.
