Boss spider not dropping head

CodeMage · 2019-12-09T01:23:26.917Z

CrystalGoddess:

think bosses might only have a chance to drop a head (at least prior to this patch anyway), as I don’t always get the head on the first attempt of harvesting from the boss’ corpse.

Which bosses are we talking about here? In the 3400+ hours of play, I have never had a single world boss – other than Rhino King – drop a head. And even Rhino King isn’t guaranteed to drop.

Which bosses are we talking about here?

The King Shaleback come to mind immediately, he used to be a super easy kill too (just like the Imp King), until the change that introduced the elites. I get a head from him most times, and it triggers the journey step for getting a head from a boss creature.

Right, so we’re not talking about world bosses, i.e. those that drop skeleton keys:

CodeMage:

As far as I know, those bosses that drop skeleton keys never drop heads.

If you need a boss head for the journey, the easiest one is the shaleback boss at the Oasis of Nekhet.

Spider boss is one of the world bosses. He doesn’t drop a head.

My mistake, but it seems there’s more than one Demon Spider according to the wiki, so one of them must drop a head, or the change is very low.

CodeMage · 2019-12-09T07:22:31.958Z

Ohhhh, now I get what you guys are talking about! My apologies, I forgot about the Demon Spider boss.

@Spacetime, the spider you’re fighting won’t drop head. You need to head out to the Wreck of the Martyr – the island in O6 – and fight the Demon Spider boss there.

CrystalGoddess · 2019-12-09T08:05:13.649Z

There’s a Demon Spider in Weaver’s Hollow as well, but I would not advise fighting that one, since it’s an enclosed area.

Demon Spider near Buccaneer Bay out on the edge of the map in the ocean. North of the Island of unsightly sirens.

So that boss is not concidered a demon spider ?so no head?well I am real ignorant about game have alot to figure out and explore yet.thanks for the tip

I appretiate everyones advice and other people in the thread as well.I am an old school gamer and funcom is always messing with the game.This game ,there is tons of stuff to know.I am not very tech savy.Sometimes I can get my nefew to look up stuff on his smart phone but not very often.Some of the answers I get are not always the best advice.I’ll give some examples of what I mean.Like how to craft oil since hide thing didn’t work.Answer:make it out of seeds,but eventually I figured out the fish thing .I know there has to be a way of getting goldstone or gold coins or something,I mean better way.answer he pulled off the net from multiple sources ,ocassionaly get it from mining obsidian around the volcano.I got alot of my gold reserves from Halloween event last year ,there hast to be a way of obaining the gold you need besides that,or Halloween events.I guess my question is what is the best way to get in ‘the know’ about this complicated game?

As for gold, specifically, it all depends on your server and your playstyle. I play on official PVE-C servers and I like doing things that serve multiple purposes, so my preferred way is to collect gold and silver from chests around Unnamed City, while I’m farming bosses for fragments and kits.

Other people might prefer looting them from underwater chests in the jungle.

Still other people prefer to mine gold and silver ore. This is especially efficient on servers with higher harvesting multiplier.

A lot of things in Conan Exiles can be done in multiple ways

I played multiplayer a little.Do to the unstabability of the game,do to the short week you have to play.I ain’t that devoted and awhile back spent 9 days in hospital do my appendix ruptured,I would have lost everything if was playing multiplayer.Maybe if they gave you a month.I also have crap DSL cause I live in the country,so I stick with single player.Thanks for the help,some map coordinates to some gold mines would be a blessing.Some guy had an interesting way of obtaining goldstone and silverstone on YouTube,not sure how he did it though.Talk to you later about his cool idea,I have erands to run, got to go,sorry.

I am back.I obained some rocknocknose eggs during the Halloween event last year and figured out how to put them to use crapping out ironstone and crystal for me.Some guy claimed he bought some gold vein and silver vein rocknose from a vendor and was using them to crap out goldstone and silverstone for him.In my limited exploration of the game I ran across a vendor in an odd location in a desert camp on a platform or walkway or whatever selling rocknose eggs for 5gp,but since I recently came across a this info, so haven’t had the chance to return to see if they are ordinary rocknose eggs or random.I don’t where the guy got his special rocknose from,but it’s definitely worth checking out.Again I could use some info on where to find gold mines.I found a place to mine silver near near the unamed city but haven’t no gold yet.Again thanks for the help.

Spacetime · 2019-12-10T23:42:41.606Z

Code Mage I hope you have a sense of humor,cause here it goes:Feed those rocknose stone dude,let them crap out goldstone and silvestone for you,those guys aren’t dumb!!! I know what your saying "That ain’t WORKING!!!"but that’s the way you do it, money for nothing and check’s for FREE!!!You younger people probably get my Dire Strait reference,but I would’nt mind getting my hands on some of those gold and silver vein rocknose my self.Check out my post dude, like you said multiple ways of obtaining things in Conan exiles.

CodeMage · 2019-12-10T23:45:19.575Z

Couple of clarifications:

You can’t buy silver and gold rocknose eggs. You can only buy normal rocknose eggs and then put the correct kind of food in the animal pen in order to get a chance to get gold- and silver-veined rocknoses. The best foods are outlined on the wiki. (Don’t forget to click “Show” to see the table)
The gold- and silver-veined rocknoses are a good long-term supplemental source of gold and silver, but they won’t help you “get rich quick”. They still crap out mostly ironstone, and some gold or silver ore. I currently have 5 of each and I swap them out in my pen to keep a steady, but slow influx of both gold and silver.
If you want to mine gold, you need to go to the volcano and mine obsidian. You’ll get a small amount of gold ore as a byproduct of mining.
There are chests inside the Unnamed City where you can get gold and silver, coins and bars.
There are even more chests in the jungle, containing gold and silver, coins and bars. They are underwater. A number of them can be found in the area around the capsized ship in Buccaneer Bay. Others are spread around and can be found around shipwrecks: N5, O5, O6 and I forget whether it’s M7 or N7.

Well that sucks,I don’t understand why Funcom would expect you to have 75 alchemal base to build your map room and not have not have an easy ,convienent way of figuring out how to do it.Even the silver mine doesn’t net a wealth of silverstone.Dude I worked my fingers to the bone last year during the Halloween event.My biggest character is on my mom’s profile.I happened log Halloween day to play.There was only two days I quit early and one day I never played,and milked that Halloween thing to death.I just know my reserves ain’t going last forever and finding bars and coins out chest way I have been doing so far just don’t cut it.I also have new character on my profile that’s going to have deal with this too,that is if I keep working on it,its about level 33 or 34.You probably already know this you seem well informed but those bearer packs they drop now will ocassionaly yield alchemal base if your really lucky.So unamed city or out by the jungle is best bet for me?I have alot to learn and alot of work to do ever make it to that volcano.I get mad at it sometimes and need time away.I just started playing again.They came out with 2 dlcs and was ready to release another LOL since last time sat down and played Conan exiles.Hope the staff don’t mad me saying this but it’s a Love and hate relationship with the game.bless you dude for your help.I guess that guy was lieing when he bought them for5gp from a vendor.I not sure where I found that vendor that sold rocknose eggs was at, I been out looking for it despite the game cashing and all.

CodeMage · 2019-12-11T05:18:52.394Z

I know 75 base seems like a lot but it’s pretty easy. The ingredients for 1 alchemical base are 1 gold dust, 2 silver dust and 2 ichor. With a T3 alchemist, those requirements all drop to 1. Keep this in mind for the rest of this post.

Now, I can recall the locations of 9 chests in the Unnamed City right off the top of my head. There are more chests than that, but those are the 9 that I can recite at any time. Likewise, the Buccaneer Area has 8 chests that I can recall easily.

A single chest typically yields several coins and/or a couple of bars. For example, it’s not atypical to open a chest and find 2 silver bars and 7 gold coins.

One coin yields 2 dust, one bar yields 10 dust. In the example I gave above, you would get 20 silver dust and 14 gold dust from just one chest. I’ll be lazy and just pull an average out of my nethers, so let’s say you can get something like 8 gold dust and 8 silver dust from a chest on average. With a T3 alchemist – which are plentiful – you would need only 10 chests to gather enough dust for the alchemical base you need for the map.

In short, gold and silver are really not hard to farm.

If you want to feel farming pains in Conan, go for hardened bricks and steel reinforcements…

I been thinking about it.While I am not allowed to discuss my religious beliefs on the forums,I try to be a good person ,I’ll put it to you that way.Hope that concept isn’t a problem.The job of a servant is to serve and I don’t mind serving.If you need my help you have it.I can’t promise I won’t lose everything to dormancy which sucks.They want to remove my appendix eventually.Tell me what I need to do.I have a doctors appointment,so I won’t check back until Wednesday evening,provided I don’t forget with garbage memory I have and see if your interested in taking me up on my offer.
