Where do you actually *get* blood crystals?

[Reverend Belial]

The announcement just basically said "they're around", and I don't really feel like canvassing the map and probably missing something otherwise obvious. Is there a good/specific place to farm them?

[Noxsa]

yea, where indeed?

If only there was like 5 or 10 youtubers to make a video going over this new patch/season. We could surely use some of those kinda videos.

Wow how helpful, because everybody wants to watch some overproduced video to get the answer to a question that can probably be answered in a single sentence on a forum instead.

You can use the reveal resources spell to help you find them or this video will be good for your info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xsOpA4ny3w - Pixelcave does excellent short form videos for Conan explanations

tbh why bring out yet another resource.. should be able to crystallise the blood scarificies from the thralls. Or capture a thralls soul and put it in a golum..

So it's just a single enemy that spawns in far-flung locations?

Oof. I'm guessing they barely drop any crystals too.

It's two enemies - rocknoses and golems. And you can get 45+ or so with a good pick.

The do have a 30 minute respawn timer.

[Lord Zultron]

Use magic to locate resources they show up as red clusters which spawn mobs. Kill them harvest vince and repeat till you have 30 then go in dungeon and get most of it from harvesting golems... That is if you survive..

its a joke - you either run around map searching randomly new mobs ( 2 variants - donkey & rock golem ) they pop out from underground , detect resource spell revels there location ( red spike underground ) - you need to collect 30 of blood crystal ore to access new dungeon - in it on arena concentrate on fighting golems - and harvest them for blood crystal ore ( that best and fastens way of farming it - tho for first 30 you need search map for RNG mobs - then keep ad-list 30 somewhere safe so you can comeback to new mini dungeon and farm more )

Oh, so you get the bulk of it from the dungeon. That's good to know, I was a bit scared of spending my hard earned crystals on that not knowing what it gave me.

Last night I was finally able to login, looked up the BP challenges and that’s what I saw:

Harvest 10 blood crystals
Craft a golem part
Make a golem
Kill Kurak
Kill a world boss
Visit Mek Kamoses spire

I was like, ooookaaay… interesting. Had to search online to find out how the hell to find those blood crystals. That was the first time ever I learned how to actually cast a spell. Spent an hour running around casting it and finding nothing. Eventually found one spot in savanna. Then another one near the guy who teaches the Yog religion. So I farmed these 2 spots (check!). Also visited the spire (check!),, killed the legendary crock on my way (check!) and then found the device where you can craft the thing called a teleporter stone or something. So I crafted it and then entered with my lvl 4-5 thrall… oh boy…

That was the new dungeon? Lol, I barely survived. That was one hell of a fight. Definitely designed for a group, not solo. Each killed golem gave me a level, each harvested one — another level. I use Paragon 300 so my char is, I think, about lvl 200. When I finally got out, my thrall was level 20. Which made me thinking…. Good spot to train new thralls. So I farmed that dungeon for a few hours. Was killed twice — once by the undead mobs in the fog and another time when I decided to check if a T4 archer from volcano, armed with legendary daggers, can be trained there. Nope… killed by some monstrosity that appeared while fighting the last sorcerer (with the dragon pet). Lost the thrall and all her top notch gear. Anyway, I managed to train several thralls to lvl 20 there and got a huge pile of crystals and other goodies, as well as a new recipe for Kurak robe.

Crafting golems was easy, though.

Look up pixelcave on youtube, got about 20 odd locations.

Being necessary to search on youtube some external critical informations and being forced into high level (temporary ) content rush is a very bad move. I'm oppressed because i started the game few weeks ago and even with 100 hours behind i feel like i'm forced into rushing to get the Kurak fight boss.
Also the reveal resources potion lasts for just few seconds ! WTF is that manner to force players into Sorcery DLC ! This is awfull
