Black Ink is a dye material that is dropped by Squids, which only spawn in the Ocean biome. Its sole purpose is to make Black Dye.

Tips

  • One of the best ways to farm Squids is during a Solar Eclipse or a Blood Moon, since both events highly increase the enemy spawn rate. The key factor from this method is that Solar Eclipse/Blood Moon enemies cannot spawn in water, only being able to spawn in the nearby beach or any cave below the sea, and they rarely come to the ocean water. Most of the time, the player will only fight the regular Ocean enemies with an increased spawn rate, and only very occasionally encounter an Eclipse/Blood enemy.
