Golden Apples are a valuable resource in Crimson Desert, used to craft gold bars that yield much higher profits. While these apples are rare and expensive, transforming them into gold bars boosts their value about five times, making it a worthwhile investment of your time.
To get these rare Golden Apples, you need to find the right location, as wandering aimlessly around Hernand without guidance can be frustrating. We’ve pinpointed the best spot to find Golden Apples in Crimson Desert to help you save time.
### Where to Find a Golden Apple
Head to the river that separates Demeniss and Hernand, northeast of the Hills of No Return. You will arrive at a place called Grey Rock Dock, where hedgehogs often carry Golden Apples on their backs. Before hunting for the hedgehogs, you must clear out the Wolf Tracker enemies in this area.
Once the enemies are gone, go to the junction with three paths just north of the dock, closer to the quarry zone. It’s best to visit during daylight hours, ideally starting around 7:00 am. Hedgehogs tend to appear more frequently between 9:00 am and 6:00 pm, so plan your visit within this time window.
Follow the path along the left side leading toward the dock, watching the ground for movement. Hedgehogs shuffle along this route, and some will be carrying Golden Apples. You will see them, and your goal is to approach and extract the apple.
Make sure you have a mask equipped. Shine your lantern on the hedgehog holding the Golden Apple and carefully hover over the apple to select the “steal” option. Alternatively, you can use a projectile to kill the hedgehog and then grab the apple, but stealing keeps the process cleaner.
### How to Craft a Gold Bar
You can sell your Golden Apple for 114 silver, but it’s smarter to craft a Gold Bar instead. To do this, visit any Witch vendor and go to the “Special Item” tab, then select “Gold Bar.” You will need to use one Golden Apple and three Gold Ores to craft a single Gold Bar.
If you haven’t unlocked the recipe yet, you can find it at the Spire of Insight located in southwestern Hernand. To craft a Gold Bar there, gather:
– 10 Silver Ore
– 3 Brimstone
– 3 Mercury
With either method, creating gold bars allows you to enjoy the riches that come with your efforts.
