Best Bloodstone farm locations in Crimson Desert

Bloodstone is one of those many materials in Crimson Desert whose needs increase the deeper you go in your adventure. You’ll mostly require these ruby-colored materials for upgrading your weapons and armor. These items become almost mandatory once you want to take your gear past Level 4 or beyond.

Let’s look at some of the best farming spots for this specific material.

Best farming spots for Bloostone in Crimson Desert

You can farm Bloostone from all regions in Crimson Desert, but the most consistent ones appear to be in the Hernand region. Bloodstone is usually embedded in the walls or surfaces, and you’ll need to use your Pickaxe.

Anvil Hill

Once you go east and pass the hill, you need to head north along the river. The riverside has a Bloodstone strip at the bottom of a nearby ravine. Just explore the area down the ravine, and you’ll find your strip of Bloodstone waiting for you.

Haunted Hill

The Haunted Hills POI, located at the north of Hernand, is my go-to spot for farming this material. Head northwest from the North Hernand Watchtower, and go northwest. Keep following the path until you find Bloodstone (it seems to spawn at the base of the nearby cliffs).

These are two of my favorite spots, but as I mentioned, you’ll find more areas. Compared to them, these two spots have always rewarded me with more Bloodstones. If you don’t want to farm them, you can also rely on the vendors.

How to buy Bloodstone in Crimson Desert

If you manage to visit an Equipment Shop in any of the locations in Crimson Desert, you’ll find Bloodstones to purchase from them. However, this method isn’t my preferred choice. For starters, I don’t like spending my credits on buying upgrade materials. Moreover, every vendor seems to have only a limited amount of Bloodstones for purchase.

Once you purchase the full quantity, you’ll need to wait for the next shop reset for the item to restock.

To proceed across all the catalogs, you’ll first have to buy all available scratch tickets (for a single catalog). This will then allow you to buy the Final Chance as relevant for that catalog. Once you scratch the Final Chance, accept the death, and move on to the next catalog. The more prestige bonuses you have, the quicker you’ll be able to go through the cheaper cards of any catalog.

While costlier tickets will tend to have better luck, there’s a cap applicable to all of them. Once you hit that cap, there won’t be any incremental effects for the extra luck that you might have.
