Rosaries & Currency
Silksong currency: Rosary beads are the main coin, Shell Shards fuel tools, and Craftmetal feeds crafting.
- Main currency
- Rosary beads
- Tool fuel
- Shell Shards
Rosary beads are Silksong's primary currency, spent at merchants like Shakra and Pebb and to unlock Bellway routes. A second resource, Shell Shards, recharges Red Tools and feeds tool crafting and repair, while Craftmetal is consumed by higher-end crafting. Most enemies drop Rosaries or Shell Shards, so steady combat keeps both topped up. Unlike Hollow Knight's single Geo economy, Silksong splits your spending across these parallel resources.
