How to mine your star metal in Conan Exiles and craft bars

Star metal is one of the strongest materials in Conan Exiles. However, acquiring and processing it is a bit complicated and tricky. How to get your hands on this sought-after metal and how to process it, you will learn here.

Star metal is the second strongest metal in Conan Exiles after obsidian. Only legendary equipment, some Acheronian items, and weapons made of obsidian surpass this metal.

Star metal can be found in the northwest of the map

You can find star metal in meteorites that have fallen to the earth. You will find these “fallen stars” in the northwest of the map. However, the metal is very rare. You first have to wait for a meteor shower and then search for the locations where the meteorites have struck.

Star metal can also appear in very inaccessible places, such as directly on mountain slopes or cliffs. These locations are often hard to spot and even harder to reach.

Extracting star metal from meteorites

The metal itself is surrounded by a thick layer of meteorite stone that you must first remove before you can access the actual metal. To break the stone, you need explosives.

To do this, craft an explosive jar from a clay jar, tar, and dragon powder. For the dragon powder, you need steel fire, sulfur, crystals, and demon blood. Mix the raw materials in a fire bowl cauldron into powder.

You create a clay jar at the carpenter’s workbench from stones. From the jar, tar, and dragon powder, you can then craft an explosive jar directly in your inventory. With this, you break the meteorite by simply placing it right next to it and igniting it (using).

Warning! The blast radius is very large, so keep a good distance and take cover!

You can also work on the outer shell with tar and fireballs, but this method takes much longer.

Once you have blasted the stone, you can simply mine the metal with a pickaxe. The deposits are much more abundant than iron or stones, so make sure to clear enough space beforehand!

Producing ingots from star metal

After you have mined the raw metal, you can smelt it into ingots in an oven just like any other metal. In addition to the ore, you will need sulfur and black ice.

You can obtain one star metal ingot from:

  • 2 star metal ore
  • 1 sulfur
  • 1 black ice

You can then further process the metal into swords or tools.
