Getting Cloth for Crafting - Unscathed RNG Wiki
How to buy Cloth from the Inkeeper, when the shop restocks, and what to craft with it once you have a stack.
Overview
Cloth is a crafting material sold by the Inkeeper for $150 per piece. It restocks every five minutes alongside the GaG Shop, and it is common enough that a restock usually offers some. This guide covers buying it, stocking up, and using it in recipes like Chainmail; the Inkeeper's apple quest lives in the apples guide.

Watch this clip to see the Inkeeper's shop in action and how restocks behave in practice. Cloth can sell out fast during busy hours, so learn the timing before you need materials. Our apples guide covers the Inkeeper's other task.
Buying from the Inkeeper
The Inkeeper sells Cloth at $150 per piece, and the shop works like the GaG Shop with a global restock every five minutes. Each restock can offer up to two pieces, though sometimes only one or none appear. Because the stock you see is yours, buying never becomes a race against other players, unlike the apple spawns.
Cloth is a common restock item, so most five-minute cycles produce at least one piece. That makes it easy to accumulate slowly while you play. Buy a piece every time you pass the Inkeeper and you will have a comfortable stack within a few sessions. Crafting uses for Cloth appear in the consumables guide.
Treat the five-minute cycle as a clock you can learn. Check the shop whenever you pass the Inkeeper, even mid-roll, and you will rarely miss a restock. The habit takes seconds and keeps your material box full for every crafting quest from the beginner era onward.
Stock Up on Cloth
Follow this routine every time you are in the hub. It takes under a minute and turns a random restock into a reliable supply. Do it alongside your normal rolling loop so you never have to farm cloth on demand. See the beginner guide for the full early loop.
Find the Inkeeper
Locate the tavern NPC near spawn; the same NPC sells Cloth and runs apple quests.
Check the shop stock
Open the shop and confirm whether Cloth is available in the current restock.
Buy every piece
Purchase up to two pieces at $150 each; cheap enough to grab on sight.
Set a five-minute rhythm
Return after each restock cycle to keep the supply growing.
Store for crafting
Keep the stack in inventory and spend it when a recipe asks for Cloth.
Material Costs at the Shops
Cloth sits alongside other basic materials sold by NPCs, and the full shop list is in the consumables guide. Knowing the prices helps you budget early cash, and the amounts are low enough to buy on sight. Materials never go on sale, so waiting never helps.
| Material | Price | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Cloth | $150 | Crafting material for gear like Chainmail |
| Brass Metal Rings | $150 | Basic crafting material |
| Freshly Baked Bread | $250 | +25% Luck for 2 minutes |
| Filtered Blossom Water | $250 | +10% Roll Speed for 2 minutes |
| Soup | $500 | +25% Luck and Roll Speed for 1 minute |
Crafting with Cloth
Cloth's main job is crafting. Recipes like Chainmail armor ask for Cloth, and some aura stacking builds feed into those same recipes. Nunchucks stacks, for example, can be used in Chainmail crafting, so keep duplicates before selling. The aura list shows which pulls matter for crafting.
Because restocks are small and slow, treat Cloth as a long-term investment. Buy a little every session instead of grinding for a big batch later. When a crafting quest finally asks for Cloth, you will already have the materials ready. See the luck guide for the farming loop that funds these purchases.

Cloth Tips
These small habits keep your cloth supply healthy without dedicated farming trips. Most of them cost nothing and take seconds, so build them into your normal routine. The payoff shows up the moment a crafting quest appears. Quest Board tasks often ask for materials, so pair this with the beginner guide routine.
- Buy Cloth on sight whenever the restock has it
- Pair cloth runs with the apple quest at the same NPC
- Keep duplicate auras that feed crafting recipes
- Do not hoard beyond what your recipes need
- Track the five-minute restock with your rolling loop
Why You Need It
Cloth only matters if you craft, but crafting is how you turn rolled auras into real power. Equipment recipes ask for Cloth and other materials, and having a stack ready removes the only bottleneck. Spend the $150 whenever you can. See the consumables guide for everything else worth buying.
