Bonemeal Locations and Uses

Learn the best ways to farm Bone and other materials for Bonemeal in Conan Exiles. Discover its uses in crafting compost, food, potions, and summoning rituals.

Alright, let's talk about Bonemeal in Conan Exiles. You're probably wondering how to get your hands on this stuff, and honestly, most of the time you'll be crafting it yourself. While you *can* sometimes find it stashed away in enemy camps or random chests, relying on that is a gamble. The real MVP is making it from scratch, and for that, you'll need… you guessed it, Bone!

The easiest way to get Bone is by, well, killing things that have bones. The guide mentions some specific creatures later on that are better for this. Once you've got your Bone, toss it into a Grinder. With the default settings, one piece of Bone will give you four Bonemeal. Don't forget that severed limbs from creatures also work the same way, so even if you don't get pure Bone, you can still get Bonemeal from those!

Beyond Bone and severed limbs, you can also grind up Ivory, Claws, Chitin, Fangs, Horns, Tusks, and Skulls for Bonemeal. These are a bit rarer since only certain creatures drop them, but hey, if you've got 'em, grind 'em!

Best Places to Farm Bone for Bonemeal

Now, you'd think any creature with bones would drop them, right? Not always in Conan Exiles. For example, deer often give you nothing. Weird, I know. To get Bone, you'll need a pick-axe or a hatchet to harvest dead creatures. Using a knife won't cut it for Bone.

While most creatures roaming around can drop Bone, it's smart to target specific ones if you want a better yield. The guide points out that humanoids, hyenas, and crocodiles have been the most reliable sources for Bone in their testing. Other good options include Bears, Elephants, Big Cats (like Panthers, Jaguars, and Tigers), and Rhinos. They also mention that Elk, Deer, Wolves, and Boar weren't as successful for them, but drop rates can be a bit random, so it's worth trying your luck.

What Is Bonemeal Used For?

Bonemeal's uses are pretty focused but super important. Its main gig is enriching your Compost Heaps. Mix Bonemeal with Plant Fiber and Putrid Meat to make compost, which then helps your plants grow fast and healthy. More plants mean more food, obviously!

You can also use Bonemeal as a base ingredient for a few food recipes, like Devil's Bonemeal. It's not fancy, but it'll restore some health in a pinch.

On top of that, Bonemeal is a key ingredient in alchemy for making potions, and sometimes it's needed for summoning rituals. So, it's always a good idea to keep some Bonemeal handy in your inventory.
