Crimson Workbench - a free item picker and mod toolkit for Crimson Desert

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on Crimson Workbench, a free, open source toolkit for Crimson Desert.

The item picker lets you search for items and add them while playing. In the video, I add 10 masks directly to my inventory.

It also lets you add mounts and 10 extra sockets to supported equipment, with existing sockets preserved. You can manage the extra sockets’ stones in Workbench.

The free mod marketplace includes larger lions, faster mounts, no mount stamina cost, skill unlocks, no sleep cooldown, 30-hour sleep and removing of Blackstar flight restrictions. Some placement and quest restrictions still apply. (you can also request mods or features on GitHub - just create an issue or dm me)

All changes outside the item picker currently require closing the game. If the tool gains users, my goal is to make these features usable while playing in future releases.

Everything comes in one Windows installer with an English interface. Supports game version 1.0.0.2976 (current game version on Steam). The installer is unsigned, so Windows may show an unknown publisher warning.

Download v0.8.0

Feedback and bug reports are welcome!

[Crimson Desert] Royal Trading Posts Explained: Weekly Midnight Reset & Why They Stay Open – Golden Merchant Trophy Guide

Title: [Crimson Desert] Royal Trading Posts SOLVED – Weekly Midnight Rotation, Delivery Quantities & Golden Merchant Trophy

After spending a lot of time trying to complete the Golden Merchant trophy, I finally earned the Crimson Desert Platinum Trophy (100%)!

I want to share two important discoveries from my own gameplay that may help other players struggling with Royal Trading Posts.

  1. Royal Trading Posts follow a weekly midnight cycle

From my testing, the Royal Trading Post rotation changes every 7 in-game days at 12:00 AM (midnight).

Here are my recorded results:

Royal Trading Post| In-Game Day| Recorded Time| Result Demeniss| 237| 12:03 PM| Delivery completed Delesyia| 258| 12:12 AM| Delivery completed Hernand| 265| 12:07 AM| Delivery completed Varnia| 272| 12:07 AM| Delivery completed

Delesyia, Hernand, and Varnia became available exactly 7 in-game days apart, shortly after midnight.

Important clarification about Demeniss

The 12:03 PM timestamp for Demeniss was my delivery time, not its confirmed opening time.

I had slept and advanced time by 12 hours, then went directly to the nearby Royal Trading Post without checking whether it had opened earlier.

Demeniss may also have opened at midnight, but I cannot confirm that from my observation.

My conclusion: Royal Trading Posts operate on a weekly cycle, with the rotation occurring when the in-game date changes at midnight.

I cannot confirm whether the order of cities is fixed or randomized across different save files.

  1. Why a Royal Trading Post may stay open after delivery

This was my biggest discovery.

After completing a delivery in Hernand, the Royal Trading Post remained open for several in-game days.

I even completed another delivery, but it still stayed open.

At first, I thought the system was bugged.

However, I reloaded an earlier save and discovered the reason:

Hernand required a total delivery quantity of approximately 130 units.

I had only delivered part of the requested quantity.

The trading post remained open because the full order had not been completed.

The other Royal Trading Posts closed after my deliveries, although I didn't record their exact required quantities.

Important: Check the total required quantity before assuming your Royal Trading Post is bugged.

A successful partial delivery does not necessarily mean the entire order has been fulfilled.

  1. What I recommend for the Golden Merchant trophy

  2. Check your current in-game day and time.

  3. Monitor the Royal Trading Posts every 7 in-game days, especially at midnight.

  4. Check which city becomes available when the date changes.

  5. Keep a separate save before the expected weekly rotation.

  6. Check the total quantity requested by the Royal Trading Post.

  7. Complete the entire requested delivery quantity.

  8. If a trading post remains open after a delivery, check for any remaining required goods before assuming it's a bug.

One additional observation: I completed my remaining Royal Trading Post deliveries and earned the Platinum without doing any additional buying or selling at regular merchants. Based on my experience, regular trading does not appear to be necessary to trigger the Royal Trading Post rotation.

  1. Final results

I successfully completed deliveries at all four Royal Trading Posts:

  • Demeniss: Day 237
  • Delesyia: Day 258
  • Hernand: Day 265
  • Varnia: Day 272

After completing Varnia, I unlocked the Golden Merchant trophy and the Platinum Trophy (100%).

These findings are based on my own gameplay and recorded observations.

I hope this helps anyone who has been struggling with Royal Trading Posts.

If you've tested the weekly rotation or delivery quantities in your own game, please share your findings so we can help other players understand the system better.

Last house tour before my Castle - Richest man in Pywel? (13,000 gold bars so far)

I have accumulated a bit more than 13,000 gold bars in prepping for the castle update. No save scumming, medium risk at the bank, I don’t run the bonds investment at all due to the long timeframe. 

Its broken down as 580+ bonds, as well as 6,900 in bond decorations (I have 11 chalice of moonlights I really like them), and 500ish box of fortune (about 300 gold bars worth). 

My shelves also are lined with only rare Gold chalices (there are three rare varieties if you didnt know, ive been hoarding these as well)

How do I do it?

First and foremost, mining silver + brimstone + mercury, not from gifting trolls, actually mining with the proper gear.  I can easily get a few hundred silver bars in an hour or two of his way. 

Next is golden apples, i only farm them cycling rain via the rainstorm necklace and in the day, also i save and close the app after every farming it seems to work better for their spawn rates. I farm them in Demeniss near the second S on the map. 

Another method, slower and only a few bars sometimes but is to rob nobles at the zoo, i honestly havent done this in like 100 hours though.  

Theres also farming palmer leaves with the gardener pack but I mostly use that to get silver to buy box of fortunes(currently at 500ish hoarded lol). I also have a breeding pair of each large fish (except electric eel since it sells for less) in my pond for this reason. 

Also, when crafting i run a full efficiency abyss gear set for the chance to get resources (mostly apples) back for more bars. 

Thanks for looking fellow Greymane, see you at my Castle!

This is the most beautiful looking Game I have ever played and I can't stop playing it

I have played a lot of games in my life and while on paper I should not enjoy crimson desert, I just fell completely in love with it. I guess this is the game I ever wanted as a kid.

Edit: For everyone curious, these are all the settings I have to get this look.

Is it possible to accidentally tame mounts by trying to kill them? I got this early in the game by trying to hunt it for its thick pelt . In the middle of fighting for my life I was suddenly riding on its back.

Why can’t we use daggers as weapons?

As far as I know, we can only use daggers to skin animals and sneak attack, but why not be like melee weapons? Like, it would be cool if they were like throwing knives, or just dual-wielding daggers (share your thoughts).

Anyone know what this tower is for?

I'm post endgame but haven't finished a lot of quests and can't find anything about it online. I'm just curious. Is it just a landmark or does it have some use later?

I thought it was just a meme but here I am 60 hours in and still in Hernand

For 60 hours I'm almost done with everything in Cyberpunk yet in Crimson Desert i feel like I'm still going through the tutorial. What an amazing game

P.S Just got a new horse. I'll call him Jeff

Playing as Damiane with Kliff in the party. Enemies won't attack until Kliff gets there.

Enemies won't attack you if you are using Damiane as the main character and have Kliff in your party. Enemies will attack when Kliff reaches the enemies.

Enemies will attack if you only use Damiane.

Same for wildlife. Wildlife won't run away if Kliff is in your party, but will run away after he gets there.

The Most Beautiful Game I have ever played by FAR 💯

Never have I experienced a game like this in my gaming life. I used to play a lot of Destiny, and this reminds me of that in some ways, but the possibilities with this game are endless…

First video game I played was Lode Runner in 1984. Own hundreds, maybe even thousands of games.

I've never played a game that made me wanna take pictures. Even made up head cannon stories. lol.
