A '''heart of the sea''' is a rare [[item]] that can be crafted into a [[conduit]].
== Obtaining ==
The heart of the sea must be found. It cannot be crafted or obtained by trading, making it a [[non-renewable resource]].
A heart of the sea is obtained from a [[buried treasure]]. The location is marked with a noticeable red X on a [[Explorer Map|buried treasure map]], which is found in [[Ocean_Ruins|ocean ruins]] and [[Shipwreck|shipwrecks]]. Feeding [[raw cod]] or [[raw salmon]] to a [[dolphin]] causes the dolphin to swim toward the nearest [[buried treasure]], [[shipwreck]], or [[ocean ruins]].

== Trivia ==
* Before the heart of the sea was added to {{el|be}}, there was an entry found in the buried treasure chest loot table named <code>nautilus_core</code>, which was later revealed to be the heart of the sea. Despite the name change, the heart of the sea continues to be referred to as the <code>nautilus_core</code> in most game files.
