Unsullied Hearts

[The Seventh Son]

Anyone figure out a pattern with them dropping? Need to get 12 more of these to make greater blood essence.

You can also use a blood press to convert regular essence so no need to specifically grind these hearts. Just kill regular things as well.

Stronger/higher level mobs drop them more frequently. You can pick a boss and farm them too.

You need to unlock the the recipe, can't just do it right out. Either a main quest I haven't gotten to yet or a boss I can't see yet.

I've found 7 so far, 6 of them were from bosses, 1 was laying on the ground along a road, probably killed by a nearby golem.

What sucks is that NOTHING tells you that you will need these later. As a new player, you end up using the hearts for blood.... until the part of the tutorial quests where you learn you screwed yourself over by doing that.

Now it is time to start the crappy grind to find enough to finish this part of the tutorial. I was having much fun up until this moment.

you can farm Alpha Wolf over and over to get unsullied hearth

Don't do that. Just put the main quest on the backburner and continue progressing through the bosses. You will find the hearts you need along the way. The reason I say this is you are on the part of the quest where you unlock and use thralls, but you can't actually finish this part of the quest and use your thralls for anything until you kill a level 39 boss, so if you've been working mostly toward that goal you are about to hit a very steep wall, where the game expects you to start going out and doing your own thing for a while.

It's a boss, he's in the mid 40 range if I remember right

Huh. Smort. Didn't even think of that.

If you can manage to kill Tristan then you get the recipe to make these from 200 blood essence. Becomes easy mode. Just keep at it

Good to know that's the reward. Tristan is a real tough SOB Solo though.

Most living mobs have a low chance to drop them, but the Vblood mobs have a significantly higher drop chance.

At level 46 you can kill a Vblood that lets you convert normal blood essence (which you will have a mountain of by then) to greater ones. This is around the time you get the iron ingots and glass you need for the 3rd tier castle anyway, so i wouldn't worry too much about it aside from the ones you need for the main quest, until then.

He's the patrolling vampire hunter yeah? That dude is a ♥♥♥♥. 3 shot me at lvl 33 when I wasn't even looking for him. That's who we're supposed to kill for the recipe? That's nuts. I'm at 33 and have found a grand total of 9 hearts and am eternally stuck at needing my throne.

Fun!

In terms of progression, you're not meant to actually get your throne until level 44-46ish.
While you CAN get iron ingots around level 35ish, you don't get the ability to mass-produce greater blood essence until 46, and you get glass, which you need for tier 3 castle heart at 44. I ran into a similar problem myself around your level, but basically just keep progressing, and you'll get what you need.
