QUESTION
Silk Armor or Raptor Expedition Pack for utility?
Jun 09, 2026 · 28 views
Running a crafting build focused on collecting mats. Debating between Silk Armor (chest, rare, defensive stats) and Raptor Expedition Pack (back, epic, massive carry capacity). I can only craft one right now - which is more valuable for a mat farming build specifically?

I have both and craft both whenever I reset. Raptor Pack felt more impactful on my runs.

Raptor Pack, no contest for mat farming. More bag slots means more mats before you have to return to camp.

Silk Armor if you're dying a lot. Raptor Pack if your survival is solid. Prioritize keeping your HP bar up.

Campfire before every expedition is muscle memory at this point. Non-negotiable.

Bookmarked. Coming back to this when I hit the Crystal Caverns.

Interesting, I had the opposite experience but your point about gear scaling makes sense.

How long did it take you to figure this out? Just hitting this stage now.

Saved. The crafting mat locations especially are super helpful.
