11 Undead Heart is a drop resource in Windrose, obtained from powerful undead enemies. The in-game flavor line describes it as a cold object that "burns your fingers," which fits the game's framing of Blackbeard's undead fleet and the Cursed Swamps plague-family enemies as supernaturally animated. Mechanically the item feeds into Cursed Swamps progression crafting and a small number of high-tier consumables.

88 Undead Heart is not a guaranteed drop from every undead enemy. The per-kill drop rate is low on ordinary Undead mobs and climbs on elite and named variants. The reliable farming paths are:

1010 Cursed Swamps elites: Plague Witches, Plague Halberd-wielding corpses, and other named Plague family enemies drop Undead Heart more consistently than generic zombies.Blackbeard undead officers: boss encounters such as Israel Hands and elite Blackbeard Lieutenants aboard Boarding Combat targets in Blackbeard Waters list Undead Heart in the higher-rarity loot roll.The Cursed Swamps as a whole produce Undead Heart at roughly three to five times the rate of the Coastal Jungle and Foothills biomes, because the density of plague-family elites is much higher.

2020 Target Plague Witch camps for dual farming. A single Plague Witch pull usually drops Quagmire Powder plus a chance of Undead Heart, which lets one session stockpile both of the bottleneck ingredients for Mire Metal.Carry Plague protection before running deep Cursed Swamps patrols. The plague accumulation rate is what cuts most farming runs short, not enemy damage.Undead Heart weight is low (0.1 per unit) and stacks to 40, so inventory pressure is minimal and a swamp run can return with a full stack without sacrificing other loot.

2222 Storage and Handling

2424 Undead Heart is a crafting drop, not a trade good, so its worth is measured in how many Mire Metal Ingot and Plague-family recipes it can feed rather than in Piastre. At 0.1 weight and a stack of 40 it costs almost nothing to carry, so bank a buffer in your base chest between Cursed Swamps runs and only craft with it once you also have the paired Undead Essence and Quagmire Powder in stock, since those three gate the same recipes.
