FAQ
Q: Do I need to finish the main story to access the DLC content? A: Yes, the Garden of Trials and new story quests require completing the main story first. Other features like shipbuilding and housing have their own faction quest requirements.
Q: How do I romance a character in Crimson Desert? A: Check an NPC's interaction menu for romance availability. Reach 100 trust, select "seduce," then fill likeability and choose "propose." You can also divorce later.
Q: Can I build a ship instead of buying one? A: Yes, you can build a ship for less camp funds but more materials, or buy one outright. Upgrades to medium or large ships cost 1.2 million or 6 million camp funds.
