The best locations to farm Silkweed & Silk Threads in New World

Primarily found in the north of Aeternum, there's three or four heavy clusters that can be found. However, be prepared to enter mid-range zones.

Mourningdale and Restless Shore

This route has you doing a fair bit of walking, but there are plenty of nodes. Start by fast travelling into Mourningdale Hamlet, then head south, roughly following the river.

From Menkar, through Karaka, then Marsic, following the waterline past Serpans and down to the Accursed Camp in Restless Shore, you'll end up right near the Shrine of Sisyphos so you can fast travel to your base.

Southern Weaver's Fen

There's plenty of Silkweed in Weaver's Fen. All you need to do is fast travel into the South Pestilence Shrine, and you should see your compass light up with nodes as you head south and east towards Fisher's End.

This is good for a short, self-contained run that doesn't take you too far from the fast travel point.

Throughout Eastern Brightwood

Possibly the route with the most potential, fast travel into Brightwood Hamlet and then head south to Chancellor's Torment.

The nodes will start lighting up on your compass as you head south and east, mostly close to the river.

At the end, you won't be too far from the fast travel point at Alchemist's Shrine.

The easy option in Monarch's Bluffs

If you're still low level and don't want to venture into dangerous zones, there's a few nodes hiding at Divine Rise in the northeast of Monarch's Bluffs.

Fast travel into the shrine at Achernar Gate, and then head over the mountainous region. The Silkweed spawns in the valley around Howltower Hollow.
