A reddish ore with toxic properties. Because it contains mercury, mining and refining it can release poisonous gases, making protective equipment essential. Can be found in remote areas across the Continent of Pywel, but it is primarily concentrated in Pailune and the desert regions.

About
- •Essential ore for gear refinement — you'll need substantial quantities once pushing past level 4 on weapons
- •Found in cliff wall deposits across Hernand, Demeniss, Delesyia, Pailune, and Crimson Desert
- •Red-colored veins are easy to spot on rocky terrain compared to other ores
- •Equipped pickaxe required; equip via D-Pad left and select with LT/RT
- •Deposits respawn after ~7 in-game days — farm consistently by timing revisits
Gathering Guide
- •Mine red bloodstone veins embedded in cliff walls using a pickaxe — hold LB and press RT to harvest
- •Best early cluster: five veins in ravine south of Rocca's Hill, yields ~10 ore per loop
- •Mid-game route: north from Tashkalp toward Trader's Expanse has the highest deposit density
- •Late-game farming: cliffs west of Delesyia Town offer abundant veins for sustained farming
- •Alternative: buy from any Equipment Shop (restocks every 3-7 in-game days)
- •Better pickaxe = faster mining (Rusty ~5 sec, Masterwork ~2 sec per node)
