Unsullied Heart farming?

[Hurricane]

I need a bunch of these now and I can't find any anymore.
I don't have the recipe in front of me but I think I need 16 (?) for a throne.
I've got exactly nothing in my inventory.

They drop from the stronger mobs in villages and towns. Some enemies have the small hp bars, Unsullied Hearts drop from the ones with the big hp bars and are usually harder to kill. Dive into towns and murder everyone you can find and you'll have plenty in no time. I believe they even hotfixed the drop rate for the hearts a few days ago. Also, they are nearly a guaranteed drop from V blood carriers

If you're high enough level, you can bypass farming the hearts and craft the greater blood essences yourself. Happy hunting!

You're better off spending that time gearing up enough to fight Vampire Hunter Tristan and kill him to get the recipe to turn blood essence into greater's. Even after the hotfix, finding unsullied is a pain in the butt, this is faster.

They drop with a low % on humans enemies.
Otherwise you get 1 on every boss - bosses you can kill multiple times.

You know what to do.

Later on, there's also a recipe to craft them.

I don't think I've found any town yet. (I just found a farm)
I'll look for them.

I'm at the maximum level can have at the moment. I don't think I ready for that guy. Last time I've hit him, I didn't see his life bar move at all.

I guess there I'll be a drop in the wolf boss population. :)

Any Bosses and normal enemies level 20+ have been when they drop the most for me. They won't drop all the time but keep at it and youll get em.

[The Ironguard]

They recently upped the drop rate on these, i've been getting lots of them myself. Also, you only need about 4-8 of them early on to get through the basic progression. After that, focus on getting to level 46 so you can Kill Tristain and get the recipe for refining blood essence into greater blood essence.

I do feel like that the tier 3 castle upgrade and the throne gives people the impression that they need to grind a bunch of unsullied hearts, because you get those recipes so early. However, you'll need to be level 44 before you can even build the other materials for those things anyway, so its kind of misleading.

You can do what we did on our server. I organized a meetup and 15 of us showed up n took out tristan. We were lvl20-30s gotta be careful not to hit each other, work in waves and itll be fine

this is false. It's not a guaranteed drop on the bosses you can track. I've killed 6 of them and gotten 1.

killing tristan the vamp hunter is the best way. Use the chaos bolt you fire two times and the chaos two time dash abilities to kite him back and forth never letting him get too close, when he stops to attack you run towards him and then dash twice through him and behind him keeping distance and throwing constant bolts at him, he wittles down then u can turn essences into greater blood.

up your spell damage with a ring to kite him. i solod him at lvl 39 GS always be moving so he doesn't hit you.

So, cheese a later game solution in order to bypass a poorly balanced, badly thought out early RNG based option as OP described?

I'm with OP.
This game is in early access, he's allowed his feedback. EA is not about "finding ways around bad gameply elements" it's about solving them.

dont see how what i did to kill an in game boss as cheesing at all... learn the boss mechanics, and outsmart them... no cheesing at all...

are you suggesting that they remove the incentive to kill Tristan the vampire slayer cos hearts dont drop from easier mobs?

I've killed bosses all morning : not a single drop.

[Colourful Owl]

I pretty much get one every time I kill a V Blood boss (that is not corrupted - like the rat woman). Even the alpha wolf drops them. If your playing on PVE the default drop rate for all items is 0.75. This jumps to 1.5 on PVP. That might be why you don't see them all the time.

It's an EA game, the devs clearly didn't think of a way to allow the boss to counter someone who stands back and never gets near him.
I'm not suggesting they remove the incentive to kill him, but if all you have to do is range him to death because he can't hit you at range, he clearly wasn't playtested, and you're just kind of abusing an early access pitfall, because by design he was not meant to be fought that early.

He has a leap attack, a crossbow, and a bomb toss that leaves a bunch of AoE fire patches. It's not as mindless as he made it sound.
