Quick Answer

Void Crystal Bar

The normal way to get Void Crystal Bar is to process Raw Void Crystal in a Furnace. One batch takes 1 Raw Void Crystal and returns 8 Void Crystal Bars. If you already have the ore but cannot make a Void Crystal Bar, the missing piece is usually the Furnace itself or its setup, not another mining unlock.

Make Void Crystal Bar using the Furnace.

Recipe

The recorded conversion, with the input and output the data actually states.

Can also be found?Yes, as later loot

One batch turns 1 Raw Void Crystal into 8 Void Crystal Bars — enough for Void Crystal Bars to be worth smelting in bulk rather than one at a time. Neither a fuel cost nor a processing timer is recorded for this recipe.

Can I get Void Crystal Bars yet?

The answer depends on where you are, not on the item itself.

If you have a Furnace

Yes. Get Raw Void Crystal and process it — the recipe runs with the ore alone.

If you have Raw Void Crystal but no Furnace

Not through processing yet. Unlock your first Furnace — the chain is below.

If the Workshop route is not open

The Furnace is tied to the Workshop progression, so that chain comes before the recipe.

If you are already in later areas

You may also find Void Crystal Bars elsewhere — see the alternatives below.

How to make Void Crystal Bar

  1. Step 1 — Get 1 Raw Void Crystal

    Best early source: Find / loot · Void Crystal Ore · Farm Mine — Floor 3.

  2. Step 2 — Use the Furnace

    Place the Furnace, then load 1 Raw Void Crystal. No fuel is recorded for this conversion, so the ore is the only thing consumed.

  3. Step 3 — Collect the output

    Each batch yields 8 Void Crystal Bars. The game data records no processing timer, so it does not state how long a batch takes.

Raw Void Crystal vs Void Crystal Bar

These two are the most common mix-up in the early game, in whichever direction you are coming from.

Raw Void CrystalVoid Crystal Bar
Raw material, mined or boughtProcessed material, made in a Furnace
Accepted by quests that ask for oreAccepted by crafting recipes that ask for bars
Cannot substitute for a Void Crystal Bar in a recipeCannot substitute for Raw Void Crystal in an ore hand-in

Why can’t I make Void Crystal Bar?

Not having the ore and not being able to process it are different problems. Pick the one that matches you.

What’s stopping you?

The earliest recorded source is Find / loot · Void Crystal Ore · Farm Mine — Floor 3. Mine the nodes on the earliest floor you can reach and smelt in bulk, since one batch returns 8 Void Crystal Bars.

What is Void Crystal Bar used for?

21 recorded recipes consume Void Crystal Bar. This is what makes it worth keeping rather than selling.

Quest-critical

Kaal Idol

The recorded recipe also takes Bone Ingot, Bones, Verdite Bar, Gravemoss. It takes smelted materials, never the raw ore, so Raw Void Crystal will not substitute here.

How many the quest needs is recorded in the quest guide rather than in the recipe data. Open the Kaal Idol guide →

Crafted stations and equipment

20 recorded recipes take Void Crystal Bar. Ingredient counts per recipe are not in the game data, so only the recipes are listed.

What else the Furnace makes

The Furnace handles more than one ore, so the same setup covers the other bars you will need.

Everything the Furnace converts

Copper Ore ×1Copper Bar ×2
Gold Ore ×1Gold Bar ×5
Iron Ore ×1Iron Bar ×3
Scrap Metal ×5Iron Bar ×3
Scraped Hide ×1Leather ×1
Platinum Ore ×1Platinum Bar ×18
Verdite Ore ×1Verdite Bar ×12

How many Void Crystal Bars do you need?

Uses the recorded ratio, so the count is exact rather than a rule of thumb.

That is 1 batch, so bring 1 Raw Void Crystal. Each batch returns 8 Void Crystal Bars, so 1 batch covers the 8 you need.

Keep them or sell them?

21 recipes take Void Crystal Bar, so it is an input for the next stage of crafting rather than something to sell off. The item database records a single price of 200 and does not store a separate sell value, so a resale figure would be a guess. Hold the bars until the recipes that need them are built.

FAQ

How much Raw Void Crystal does one Void Crystal Bar take?

One batch is recorded as 1 Raw Void Crystal in and 8 Void Crystal Bars out. There is no way to run a smaller batch, so the ratio is fixed.

Does Furnace need fuel?

No fuel cost is recorded for this recipe. The data records the input, the output and nothing else, so nothing is charged beyond the Raw Void Crystal.

Can I buy Void Crystal Bars instead of making them?

No seller is recorded. The only reliable route is processing Raw Void Crystal.

Can Raw Void Crystal be used instead of Void Crystal Bar?

No. Recipes that ask for Void Crystal Bars will not accept Raw Void Crystal, and quests that ask for Raw Void Crystal will not accept Void Crystal Bar. They are separate items.

Does one Raw Void Crystal give one Void Crystal Bar?

No — the recorded batch is 1 Raw Void Crystal to 8 Void Crystal Bars, so every Raw Void Crystal you smelt returns more than one bar. Mine a small stack and process it together.
