Mountain Elementals are a special type of creature in New World, in that their corpses are not skinned like regular creatures. Instead, they are mined, providing you've hit Mining Lv. 100.
Appearing as large bears with a green glow, here are the two locations of Mountain Elementals in Aeternum.
What do you need Mountain Elementals for in New World?
The reason Mountain Elementals are such a valuable resource in New World is because of the potential drops. You could score the following:
- Lodestone
- Earth Quintessence
- Fae Iron
- Voidmetal
- Cobalt (Sliver, Shard, Chunk)
- Crystal (Sliver, Shard, Chunk)
You'll need Luck to get Fae Iron, Voidmetal, Cobalt and Crystal from Mountain Elementals, so make sure you have rare item perks and Mining food buffs on the go when you mine their bodies.
Scoring a Chunk of Cobalt is good here, as that adds the Adored Mining Perk to crafted gear, a massive +9.5% chance of finding rare items when mining.
Earth Quintessence is a reagent for high-level potions and in cutting Pristine-quality gems, while Fae Iron and Voidmetal are desirable rare metals used in crafting weapons and armor.
In order to mine Mountain Elementals, you'll need a Mining Pickaxe. There's a level requirement of 100 to mine them, but you cannot track them.
