In Black Myth: Wukong, you will fight various enemies, including more than 100 difficult bosses that require thorough preparation.

This is where crucial resources, like Refined Iron Sand, come in handy to turn the tide in your favor.
Refined Iron Sand is crucial for upgrading and forging some of the most powerful weapons in the game, which can give you a competitive advantage over your enemies. To get this resource in Black Myth: Wukong, read this guide and give yourself a chance to equip the best possible weapons in each chapter.
How to Get Refined Iron Sand
Refined Iron Sand is one of the rarest and most crucial materials in Black Myth: Wukong, especially for crafting strong weapons such as the Kang-Jin Staff and Rat Sage Staff. However, for this particular item, you will need to wait until you are at Chapter 3. Here’s how you can collect Refined Iron Sand:
Purchase from Store
In Chapter 3, you can buy Refined Iron Sand at any Shrine store or the Ruyi Scroll in the Zodiac Village. However, it’s expensive, costing 1,200 will for each piece. So make sure you have enough Will saved up by the time you reach Chapter 3. Additionally, the store only has a limited stock, so saving your resources for the most important upgrades is wise.
Defeat Enemies
You can also get Refined Iron Sand by defeating tough enemies, like Yaoguai kings and other powerful foes. Remember that the drop rate is not always guaranteed, but these enemies have a better chance of dropping the resource. Nevertheless, the final boss of Chapter 3 always drops Refined Iron Sand when defeated.
From Chests
As you progress through Chapter 3, watch for chests scattered throughout the game world. Though the drop rate is low, these chests sometimes contain Refined Iron Sand. Thorough exploration and checking every chest will boost your chances of finding this valuable material.
How to Use Refined Iron Sand
Refined iron sand is used to upgrade and craft staves at any shrine to increase their strength by boosting their attack power and chances of critical hits. For example, you can use four pieces of Refined Iron Sand and other resources to upgrade the Kang-Jin Staff. Similarly, you can craft or enhance other staves like the Loongwreathe Staff or Rat Sage Staff with this valuable resource.
As Refined Iron Sand is a rare material, it is best to save it for upgrades or to craft more powerful weapons before moving on to difficult chapters.
