How to get Bloodstone in Crimson Desert

Bloodstone is a red ore used for weapon and armour refinement in Crimson Desert, and it is considerably rarer than iron or copper. The earliest reliable deposit is in a ravine in the south of Rocca's Hill, across the river directly east of Hernand. The deposit appears as a vertical strip in the cliffside near the top of the hills to the east.

There are five Bloodstone veins to mine here, which should yield around ten pieces of the material; ore respawn appears to take longer than 24 in-game hours. Further up the same ravine you can also find Garnet and Azurite near the large bridge to the north, along with plenty of iron and copper for earlier refinement levels.

To mine ore: press F2 or left D-pad on controller to open the equipment wheel, select your pickaxe, hold CTRL or left bumper to aim at a vein, then left click or press right bumper to swing and break the ore. Bloodstone is required for later refinement levels, and an Abyss Artifact is needed for top-level upgrades.
