Resource

In Conan Exiles players can gather resources from their surroundings, using tools or even their bare hands! These resources are needed for crafting everything from buildings to weapons.

Locating Resources[]

Some resources, such as Wood and Stone are easy to find - just hit a tree or large boulder respectively with a harvesting tool.

Other resources can be significantly harder to locate, such as Silverstone, Obsidian, and Star Metal Ore.

Resource Gathering[]

Resources are gathered by striking an object in the world with an appropriate tool. The quantity of resource gathered by each strike is equal to the Harvesting Power of the tool, with a 50% chance of gaining an additional resource. This is multiplied by the Harvest Amount Multiplier server setting for increased resource gathering.

Formula for gathering quantity = ( Harvesting Power + [50% chance of +1] ) x Harvest Amount Multiplier

For example, a Steel Pick has a harvesting power of 10. When used to strike a large boulder, it will harvest 10 or 11 stone on each strike (10 stone with a 50% chance of an additional stone). If the server was configured with Harvest Amount Multiplier set at x3, then each strike would gather 30 or 33 stone.

Tool Categories - use the correct tool[]

Pick - generally boulders and ore, also trees for bark, resin (northern trees) and bodies for bones.
Hatchet - trees for wood, bodies for meat and few hides (if you don't have a cleaver or skinning knife). Empirically, it seems to be the most effective tool for the harvesting of demon blood.
Cleaver - meat from bodies, some hide, heads.
Sickle - fiber, plants, berries, gossamer (also on spiders bodies).
Skinning Knife - hide from bodies, some meat. Empirically, it also seems to efficiently harvest feathers from Vulture nests atop mesas in the desert biome.
