Epidote

Epidote comes from green veins in cliffs and rocky terrain, from Mineral Shops, and as a drop from certain enemies. You can also get your first batch early as a reward for the Hernand quest Count Felix’s Request.

Where to find Epidote

Hernand has a few scattered nodes, but they’re too spread out to farm. Mine them when you pass by, and save the real farming for later.

A great spot opens once you reach Pailune. The cliffs east of Pailune city, along the Upper Denn River, are packed with nodes close together, so you can mine one after another with little travel. Later in the story, the southern part of the Crimson Desert region also has plenty.

Note that Pailune is occupied by the Black Bears at the start of the game and extremely hostile region. You can still venture there and mine the exposed Epidote veins from the cliffs, but you will be often attacked by hostile NPCs while in this region.

Every vein you find is permanently marked on your map, so you can come back and farm it. Use the Environment Filter to see them all.

Secret Farming Island

There is a small island in the middle of a pool of water in northern Delesyia – Stoneback Crab Wetlands. This is a location you will visit during a side quest from the Redfox Trading Company faction quests in Delesyia for the Lake Stoneback Crab questline involving an interesting boss fight against the Queen Stoneback Crab boss.

This island is incredibly rich in several types of ore you can mine, including Iron Ore, Copper Ore, Scolecite Ore, Garnet, and Azurite. And the best part is that you can teleport to the nearby Abyss Nexus on the south side of this small island and return to farm again. The nodes respawn. There are various plants and bugs you can catch nearby as well.
