One of many challenges you’ll encounter in Terraria is crafting a Bed to skip the nighttime. To do that, you’ll need a Silk, and this part gets tricky. Moreover, you’ll need a Loom and a Sawmill, but we have covered it for you!
Skip the night to refresh Angler’s fishing quest or simply skip the pain of defeating Zombies and Demon Eyes. In this easy guide, we’ll help you obtain Silk, and what items you craft with it.
What is Silk?
The item is a crafting material in Terraria, with main purpose in crafting Bed. You may also make several vanity items, weapons, and armor sets.
How to Obtain Silk
Head to the Cavern layer and destroy Cobwebs. You can use seven of them to make a Silk at the Loom. Once you have a Bed and a housing, you can skip to daytime without worrying to monster attacks. You can also make the following items if you have spare Silks:
