The recipe pairs it with a Crown of Shadows and three Abyss Cells, plus the base Kuku Pack that the Peddler's Pack feeds into. If you are working toward the Insect Gatherer build, mark this core on your farming short list first; it drops from the same enemies as the Crown of Shadows, so both cores can be hunted on the same loop.35373638Used InQuantityPaired WithKuku Insect Gatherer's Pack11 Power Core - Crown of Shadows, 3 Abyss Cells, 1 Kuku Pack3739Rock Worm Trio Farm38403941In addition to the Pywel lake-area Runewalker drop, the Ore of Resipiscence farms cleanly from a spot where three Onyx-style rock worm enemies spawn indefinitely. Use the adjacent fast travel point to respawn them after each kill cycle.40424143Save the game before starting the loop. Respawn logic can occasionally stall, and reloading the save is the cleanest way out.The same rock worms drop the Crown of Shadows on the same loot table, so one 20-minute session usually nets every named core the Insect Gatherer chain needs, plus spares for the Gardening Pack and other Kuku recipes.The so-called "bush enemies" (stationary wandershrub fiends) also drop this core at a lower rate. The rock worms are faster per kill, but the bushes are a useful fallback if the worm spawn is occupied.42444345Tips44464547Seal every core into your Kuku Pot immediately after sealing the kill with Axiom Force. Dropped cores that roll into terrain can be expensive to recover at the Provisioner.The in-game item name is "Ore of Resipiscence". Some YouTube guides and community posts use "Orb of Resipiscence"; these refer to the same item, and the in-game spelling is "Ore".
