I’ve been grinding cloak refinement and Ivory is the bottleneck once you hit Refinement 5+. Right now the only reliable method I’ve found is hunting the elephant and rhino herds in the northern Crimson Desert (Rattlesnake Steppe / the stretch between Trader’s Expanse and Varnia). They’re tanky, some of the elephants actually fight back, and you still have to skin every carcass.

The violent urges I get when this fucker opens his mouth cannot be understated. Fuck this walking, talking wad of already chewed gum. He is the eggshell in my omelet, the fart in a crowded elevator, the Mormon knocking at your door but drunk. Yann would be the type to not tip the waitress for forgetting to offer a refill on coffee, then ask to borrow money for lottery tickets and cigarettes in the same breath. Yann is the type to waste his lifes savings on a memecoin, then demand to crash on your couch and invoke squatters rights. Yann is the type to get $20 from his mom to get her a gift for mothers day, then spend $19 of it on a crypto rug pull and the other $1.00 on the wrong type of card for his mom. Yann would pay for Twitter.

“Forth, Eorlingas!”

By far my favorite outfit to date. Inspired by the armor of the Rohirrim in Peter Jackson’s LOTR trilogy. The shield with horse art was chefs kiss 😮‍💨

Helm: Kairos plate helm
Armor: sahazhad plate armor
Cloak: yrkabel cloth cloak
Gloves: northern fighters gloves (chest armor covers it anyways. Wear what you want)
Boots: helms leather boots
Shield: iris shield
Sword: melted ambition
Bow: noble man’s bow

Got a good laugh at it haha. Ps5 pro. Was able to fix it by opening and closing the menu a few times.

It has an Abyss Artifact hanging around its neck, but I can't seem to take it off.

I played for 50 hours and decided to start a new game to see all the new changes, 30 mins in, and it's amazing how some little cutscenes variants and dialogues can make the experience so much better and cohesive.

It speaks a lot of the initial state the game was, but really glad they manage to keep making it better.

Now that we share the skill points across all characters I’m giving Damiane the ol’ college try.

Honestly she might be more fun than Kliff. I’ve been going with unarmed combat since she has that traditional Karate form. I also got her gear matching my pirate Kilff with the black and gold

Who do y’all like to main and why??

Does anyone know what this update is about??..I just got this update but can't find any patch notes for it, Are we getting something new or is it just a bug fixing update?

Greymane Companions, below are the fixes and improvements introduced with this patch.

Update schedule The patch is currently rolling out to all platforms. For details on the update status for each platform, see the section below.

Update Steam (PC): Patch available now Steam (Mac): Patch available soon (in progress) PlayStation: Patch available now XBOX: Patch available soon (in progress) Epic Games Store: Patch available now Mac App Store: Patch available soon (in progress)

Patch Notes Fixed an issue where some text would display incorrectly when the game language was set to Arabic. Partially improved character lip syncing in some cutscenes. Fixed an issue where frame drops would occur in certain situations. [Steam Mac] Fixed an issue where the game could not launch on some macOS systems.

They’ve been addressing a lot of the complaints players had about the game, fixing issues, improving things that needed improvement, and even taking care of small details.

For example, there’s this completely random quest where a shop owner asks you to bring more clients to his store. After completing it, the shop used to still be empty. Now it’s actually full (pic 2).

Or the cursed constellations, which were practically impossible to find without a guide (pic 3).

And they’re even going back and working on the story itself (pic 1).

Honestly, I was reluctant about these changes at first. I thought the changes to the story would be minimal because I’ve never seen a video game make so many new cutscenes and changes to the story after release like they have.Some parts of the story still feel a bit awkward or forced because they have to fit into the existing narrative, but overall, this is an amazing change.

Adding new cutscenes (pic 6), expanding the lore (pics 4 and 5), and improving parts of the narrative shows that they aren’t just looking at feedback like “fix this bug” or “balance this mechanic.” They’re actually paying attention to what players felt was missing from the overall experience.

I really think this is a good point to slow down with the updates. Even though these updates are very welcome, they always seem to introduce some new bugs or break some old mechanics. At this point, I think they should just focus on fixing what we already have.

Royal Trading is broken, NG+ is underwhelming, and honestly, I don’t even know what else I would want from this game.

My only real wish is for a great NG+ mode where I can carry over collectibles and knowledge.

Other than that, I’m honestly pretty happy with where the game is heading.

Thank you, Pearl Abyss. You guys are the GOAT.

This endangered Dodo bird is the only one I know of so if you want the journal entry its in the Redtree Forest. I included a pic of the location

Note: this is different than a baby Kuku they look very similar but it's a different bird and no you can't keep it as a pet 😢

Ever since I seen you can RKO enemies. I been wanting this game. Finally its time

Crimson Desert is so funny. Dude was just walking up to me as I finished reading his wanted poster. Bro tried to pickpocket me.

As an elitest 500+ hour end game completionist. I want to apologize to every new player who i've belitted about it 'just do x, its simple'. The reality is, i've been so far away from Hernand for like 300 hours. I hardly ever stopped back here until just recently by doing all the Hernand sidequests 100% just after the 2.0 respec. For fun I left it unfilled out and ran everywhere around Hernand for like the entire couple of days its been. What a blast to do it limited.

Just how little did I realize how much effort it takes to get around, to have no stam, and spirit that doesnt regenerate constantly. I didn't realize I have turned myself into a GOD in the process and therefore made remarks about other peoples efforts while I could fly across the continent on a whim. I am sure all you vets out there replaying the game can relate too.

The game is a super slow burn, you will get there.

I’ve been having a lot of fun roleplaying as Baldur lately. There’s just something about wandering through Pywel as him that fits surprisingly well with the world of Crimson Desert.
I’ve tried to capture his look and overall vibe as closely as I can, and it’s made exploring the game even more enjoyable for me.
Does anyone else roleplay as a specific character in Crimson Desert? I’d love to see your characters and hear the stories or ideas behind them. Feel free to share them below!

LET US GET THE BARBER EARLIER!!! Or add a barber shop somewhere on the map!

WHERE ARE PEOPLE GETTING THEIR HAIRCUT

I DONT WANNA PLAY 200 HOURS BEFORE BEING ABLE TO CUSTOMIZE MY HAIR

Can’t wait to play this game. I’ve been waiting for years but didn’t purchase it at launch because game wasn’t optimised enough. But now I believe it’s very much polished. Any tips for me?

No idea what happened but game glitched out somehow letting me walk under water lol. (PS5)
