So today I finally experimented with the dyes and had a lot of fun. Needed to experiment because I hadn't figured out how it works, however I think it came out OK. Please feel free to post your shots too, its such an awesome option and there are a lot more creative ppl out there!
They just have so much potential to tell a little tale about life in pywell. What do people think? Where might be a good place to post that stuff? Im not an experienced fanfic writer so itll be gawd-awful but might be fun.
Not today though.
Dear Viewers,
This game has destroyed my life in the best way possible… in my 21 years of gaming I don’t think I’ve experienced anything like this… the depth, the freedom, and the amount of times my wife can laugh at me for not hitting the air brakes before smashing into the ground….
This video shows how much you can customize your house, which is only one of so many customizable features in this game. I tried to make something truly different from what I’ve seen from others. I hope you like it! Let me know if I’m missing a devastating cool item… I will drop what I’m doing and farm it immediately!
Also, if you have questions let me know! Happy to help.
Decided to start using my dyes, chose this blue for me and Rokade
Visited the Serpent and found only one scale
Decided to help get the chocolate factory going again
Got this awesome Gearmelt Pack
Today I did a few things, wanted more Bizmuth Spears, so I took out the soldiers shooting at the Serpent. Then, I visited the Serpent and only found 1 scale. Then I dyed my clothes and Rokade's headpiece. Like the color. Need to figure out how to dye the other pieces 😂. Then I headed over to Drywind Valley to get some Caccao. I needed to clear out the bandits, then I could buy 50 Caccao from the farmer. The Chocolate factory needed to be restarted, so I also did that quest and got the Confectionery Pack as a reward (and a Lub pack). This is really cool because it makes chocolate for you. Nice! Then came back to camp and did some harvesting, including a bunch of skyroot. My pictures kinda are out of order, so apologies for that. What did you do today?
I want to welcome you all to the Pywell Adventurer's Guild and discuss all this Crimson Desert! Even Role Play!
It's especially infuriating because Damiane and Oongka get story locked far too long.
Yesterday was a hodgepodge of things that Kliff did, spent a bit of time exploring and killing Jackals and Blackbears, and caught/tamed an Ibex and Large wolf. Both respond well to force palm and it does not take long, Ibex like sweet potatoes/carrots and Wolf tough meat. I needed to kill off the L Wolfs pack before attempting to tame him, and I had to be very careful. Well worth the trouble, they are both excellent mounts. I changed Rokade's armor to the Cernos Barding, which I like much better because it lets you see how beautiful the horse is.
Just some things I've noticed from 550 hours of play.
Crimson Desert Fixes & Features List
==Lion and Dragon mouth stone fireplaces.
==Make the Pirate King Hat have a much larger range and have the feather blink faster the closer you are to treasure along with vibrations and maybe a small shime noise for people with poor vision.
==Make Sleeping for 6 and 3 hours refresh your ability to sleep 2x and 4x faster respectively from 12 hour sleep.
==Make Bulletin Boards visible on map.
==Make people move out of the way of mount or wagon much faster!
==Make a metal reinforced Trade Wagon that's expensive to make but much harder to destroy on random nonsense. If a butterfly lands on a wagon it explodes.
==Make backpacks recharge the proper rate when passing time or sleeping. It currently doesnt fill them when sleeping even for 12 hours.
==solved, it takes a Platinum Bar in the Sotdae, not Mercury! Make Iron Eagle respawn as it simply flew away and won't return making him uncaptureable.
==Make lion at circus respawn. (If you stole it befpre it became a tameable mount it is gone.)
==Be able to synthesize Faded Abyss Artifacts into real Abyss Artifacts.
==Make game save after every item you win in Claw Machine.
==When using Claw Machine it can lock you into the Claw Machine but be unable to leave the machine or open any menus requiring you to close gane entirely.
==Make being in a building, cave, or in shade effect temperature. E.g. Player should be shielded from the elements when entering a building.
==Make the fishing bobbers glow much brighter.
==Make fishing less finnicky e.g. less blind spots and make it harder for the line to break because of rocks or shallow spots.
==Make Gold Bars placeable in house to show off our treasure hoard.
==Make the banks have private vaults you can buy and walk into a treasure vault full of your valuables you deposit like Gold Bars, coins, Masterpiece or better paintings, rare items etc. I want to be Scrooge McDuck. Think the treasure hoard room from Overlord..
==Massively increase the amount earned by Fencing Wagons.
==When gathering large amounts of items (like when farming) have the notification tell us the grand total of items for each item instead of 100 seperate notifications 3 at a time telling us we picked up 200 items in stacks of 2-3.
==Let us get a customizable boat, expand the map to add explorable ocean, pirate factions, diving mechanics for sunken ships, caves, etc
==Make the trains more interesting. Add passengers, loot, quests and more purpose in general.
==Allow us to customize Mini-Map like zoom level, detail level, turn on terrain and buildings, toggle icons etc
==Add new regions & Factions to map.
==Add more endgame content for those of us who want to build a Mechanical Viking empire across Pywel.
==Allow us to buy buildings, locations, and even Kingdoms that we staff castles and add a new management sim layer to get insane rewards and bonuses to camp funds.
==Allow us to build multiple A.T.A.G. to kit them out for specific purposes and give them different paint jobs.
==Add a new ring of equipment to Kuku tree for more awesome Kuku devices.
==Allow us to put mining, farming and foresting equipment on A.TA.G. with huge bonuses to get more items from harvesting. Maybe a
==For Fertilizer Sprayer add a function of holding L2 to aim and R1 to suck up manure from pastures to refill tank.
==Make manure system function, manure is everywhere but cant be collected, only sometimes shoveled and discarded.
==Allow us to Synthesize ALL Abyss Gears!
==In House Decoration, allow us to store a stacked item because sometimes items are just too close and become immovable.
==Be able to hold an entire stack of seeds to plant faster.
==fixed When gathering seeds from crops, allow us to select the amount of seeds we want from a stack of crops.
==Make a Subterranean Map Layer for a new layer underground full of the Dark Abyss. Lanterns required and you have to light all torches etc yourself to light rooms and unlock them on your map once fully lit. Have underground labyrinths, temples, cities, dungeons, mines, etc.
==Let us get a customizable Airship with cannons on the sides of the main deck so we can have Airship battles like Pirate Ship battles in AC Black Flag. Make different Sky Pirate Factions and maybe add a new sky layer only accessible by Airship and have the factions map show what part of the skies each Sky Pirate faction controls. Add floating airship cities to dock at to get missions, do repairs, customize ship, arm ship with new weapons, Airship Tools and armor.
==Make a way to retrieve items accidentally donated to Camp.
==Make Abyss Gear show up on Quick Dial to easily see what is slotted into equipment.
== FIXED! USE BLINDING FLASH TO MAKE THEM DROP THE APPLES! Change taking Golden Apples back to X, to down on D-Pad or anything other than Square! It's hard to take the apples as you just pick the hedgehogs up most of the time.
==Allow us to use the Lanterns when in First-Person view.
=="Kinda fixed* Utilize down on the D-Pad so Square and X aren't mapped to every function. Make Taking things Down on D-pad and Carry hold square so they don't overlap!
==MAKE GREATER ABYSS GEAR PERMANENT! Why would you go through so much work to get Greater Abyss Gear only to have it break!? This makes no sense! Only make them break on Hard difficulty!
==Allow us to remap all controls on console.
==Make it possible to pick up cogs, lubricant & batteries even when inventory is full as they shouldn't need a space.
==When you raise your lantern make all interactable objects highlight blue and items you can take highlight in green and steal highlight in orange. (Possibly a new lantern with this feature like the Gatherer's Lantern)
==Make petting your summoned pet X or Down on D-Pad so you won't pet them while looting.
==Make it so holding down the chop wood button with logging axe hits continuously instead of missing.
==Make larger logs produce more timbers.
==Make an auto ride when on horseback and have a destination marked.
==Add waypoint navigation highlighting the paths that are the shorstest path to your marked destination.
==Make it so that you can learn about animals and insects by observing them with a little telescope or binoculars from a distance instead of having to kill an animal to unlock its entry.
==Allow earning trust with wildlife like Elephants by feeding them. At maximum trust they drop materials for you so we won't have to kill every animal for materials.
==Mostly Fixed Be able to edit the name and symbol of markers with new symbols like a chest, exclamation mark, animal symbol, etc to mark points of interest. Also vastly increase the limit of markers.
==Increase max Inventory size also to 1000. (I'm hoarding Medium and Large Bags until this happens.) Maybe a Storage Backpack or a Loot Llama that has chests on his back you can use as a Mount and provides storage chests for each category?!
==Fix pet navigation and looting. They stop looting constantly and just stand around.
==Make it possible to take/steal/mine higher above your head, below you and a little further away.
==Add loot filters for yourself and pet to select item by item or by category to turn off certain items from even letting you pick them up.
==Increase Refinment limit on equipment for even more powerful abilities and stats.
==Allow us to decorate the outside of the house.
==Be able to make taxidermy animals from animals you've hunted. Head mounts also.
==Be able to get weapon and armor racks for house to display equipment
==mostly fixed, ranch Allow us to capture animals we can pick up and have them at our house in pens, pastures, barn etc to harvest some for resources like milk from cows, eggs from chickens.
==When you look at a dye in your inventory the description should inform you if you've learned it already.
==half fixed When looking at items in shops it should say in description how many you have in inventory and in storage.
==fixed Add categories in house item Installable list to easily get to paintings, etc
==mostly fixed When refining gear, if multiple of the Same Item exist in inventory or not allow us to toggle what stage of refinement we want to achieve on an item and use any available resources (first same items, then crafting materials) to choose what tier and tell us what resources will be used all the way to the highest possible tier.
==Make it worthwhile to refine equipment before donating to camp for a much greater resource.
==Make it far more worthwhile to do wagon runs with trade goods or allow us to get a reinforced wagon for durability and hire Greaymanes to ride horses and protect cart
==When using Blinding Flash make the light highlight camps and blockades controlled by enemies. (Like the red squares above targets when taking out a fort)
==Make sitting or leaning pass time x2 or x4 with a button prompt.
==Make Abyss Cells appear on minimap & allow pets to retrieve them.
Please comment with more ideas!
Spend morning to walk on Varnia Street , tring to get some sketch reference .
I am starting this thread, which will be posted weekly, to give everyone a chance to share what they learned this week, any new skills they might have unlocked, or any cool places they found. Also, please include any cool pictures you have taken with descriptions.
This post is to be helpful for the community, so please keep it positive! Spoilers are welcome as long as they are correctly presented. Check out the rules section if you are unsure how to do it. Since we are on this journey together, I figured this might be helpful. Cheers!
This was added in patch 1.06, however, just noticed it 😂
Added trunks for all the treasure chests I found
Just a quick FYI, you can customize your map markers now. This was implemented several patches ago; however, I never figured it out, and you need to hit the button twice to get to the actual menu to choose the different markers. Very handy, but I can see myself going through 500 of them quite easily 😂
Just want to kick off the conversation with a few basic tips. Please share yours!
==Read Patch Notes!
==Buy Wardrobes from Furniture Dealers and place multiple in your home to expand armor storage
==You can axiom force a tree top and slingshot yourself a decent distance.
==Cleaning fish can yield items including Abyss Gears.
==When driving Wagons go in 1st person view. If the Horses will fit, the Wagon should fit.
==Make sure to use a Dye when you first pick it up and shows ???? That way you know any dye you see that isn't ???? You know you already learned it.
==Talk to NPC's that have a white dot on Mini-Map a few times to sometimes learn info colored blue in their conversations. You can unlock new locations, recipes, bosses, items etc.
==When you receive supply contracts for gaining 100 trust with major vendors, make sure to use them from your inventory to get their effect.
==Sleep for 12 hours as often as possible to progress Mission Dispatches!
==Gain 100 trust with equipment merchants and vendors to buy the contracts. You can buy gear at camp that has abyss gears in it that are used for synthesis.
==Grow Corn on your farm for the biggest yield of feed with shortest growth time and remember to water and fertilize every day. Make a second Fertilzer Sprayer so you can fertilize all the crops quickly. Use both sprayers a few times and switch back and forth between them to let them both start recharging. Use the Kuku Gardening Pack to Harvest while wearing any equipment that boosts gathering. You'll have endless feed for Ranch.
==For Dispatch Missions, do repeat of Skoghorn Farm: Wild Garlic Gathering & Svinholt Ranch: Marbled Meat Buthering. Do Field Grill Cooking and select Hearty Meat Skewers. It takes 8 Marbled Meat & 8 Wild Garlic to make. Now you have infinite health and feed for ranch.
==If you clear the region of bandit camps and blockades before trying to do Trade Wagon routes it will be much easier. Avoid going through camps, forts, and towns as much as possible. It's always faster and safer to take the scenic route around towns.
==Go in Kuku Pot inventory to check amounts of Cogs, Machines, Lubricant and small batteries.
==If you find Mercury pool , use bow and charge shot with ICE elemental a few times, it will freeze into chunks, wait for them to break, then you can collect solid Mercury.
==If you want to maximaze mining ores - use mining drill and upgrade it as much as you can then use some piece of armor that you don't use and put abyss gears that have X% chance to mine additional ores. Mining drill also autocollects ore which is useful on mountains.
==NPCs marked on your minimap with White Dot can have some useful information about locations , recipes etc. , plus when you gain 100 trust with them you can get sometimes useful things Its very random.
==Look for stone Cairns near waterfalls and use Stab Skill to stab through the waterfall.
==When you point your Lantern at a suspicious wall, it will shake and make sound.
==Turn off the 3D view in settings when looking at stronghold details on the map to quickly look at details and missions
==Use Blinding Flash on Golden Apple Hedgehogs.
==Hoard at least one of everything for equipment and at least one stack of everything else in game until you have uses for them.
==When fishing, use the movement of the camera as an indicator of which direction to pull and when the camera stops moving start reeling until the camera sways again.
==When in doubt Flash it out! Try Blinding Flash on everything!
==Use Axiom Force on Worms' core eye when they charge to grab their core and instantly defeat them.
==The longer you hold Focused Force Palm, the farther the force will go. Aim the leaf icon at the gold orb inside Bismuth Boulders containing Abyss pieces until the orb glows and release.
==Greater Abyss Gear have durability and will break. Stick to Level 3 Abyss Gear.
==Upgrade jewelry to max for excellent stat boosts.
==Hold light or heavy attack, don't press repeatedly.
==When taming horses, lock camera on them, move camera to overhead view and rotate the Joystick in the direction of the horses butt as it spins. Try to anticipate it's movement and even move the Joystick slightly ahead of the horses as it spins to reduce meter loss. Upgrade stamina before taming Legendary horses. Spam Stamina giving drinks or use elites to prevent stamina loss. In cold or hot regions wear appropriate gear to reduce stamina loss.
==Mix golden Apples with Gold Ore at Witches to make Gold Bars.
==Store Gold Bars at Bank. Leave it on lowest risk investment as when you get to over 100 Gold Bars you'll start to see decent returns.
==Only sell Gold Bars to Bank for 500 Silver.
==If you stand on an Abyss Nexus teleport pad and then fast travel to a teleporter it will load faster and won't play the video of traveling through the Abyss.
==Use Blinding Flash while flying to slow time and enjoy the view, reveal Abyss Nexus points, Sealed Abyss Artifacts from a long range.
== Use Blinding Flash and then Focus Light to set things on fire. Especially fun on towers and structures.
==Try to progress through the main campaign until you at least get the Kuku Pot and advance the Greymane Camp as much as possible before exploring too much of the world. Also Wait until you get Focused Force Palm as well.
==Wait until you unlock both extra characters until you do too much side content and exploration.
==Pick up as many flowers, herbs, longhorns and mushrooms as possible and stockpile as much water as you can to make Palmar Pills when you get the recipe.
==Increase trust with Wandering Merchants like Patrigio to 100 for special items!
==Merchants show what will unlock at 100 trust so you don't waste time gaining trust for nothing.
==Make the Bunny Mask for increased trust gains.
==Get the Helm of Knowledge as early as possible.
==Wear Helm of Knowledge to easily identify scannable people or objects & new items with purple glow.
==Raid your camp for free supplies every day.
==Do favors and side missions to expand inventory capacity.
==Build up camp to expand private storage.
==Collect infinite free water from wells.
==Use Nature's Snare to collect items into a pile by initiating it and then canceling it to drop items in piles.
==Use Nature's Snare to absorb enemies ranged attacks and shoot them back.
==Use Nature's Snare to rotate some puzzle objects.
==Use Focus to slow time in battle and make dodges, parries, blocks, and attacks easier.
==Use Force Palm on heavy/large/stone enemies as well as bosses to greatly build their stun meter.
==Do all Abyss Puzzles in Abyss ASAP to unlock new Force Powers.
==Some animals can be stunned, ridden, and then fed from inventory while riding them in a space area away from combat to gain trust and make them a companion mount. If you get off the animal before you build 100 trust and tame it, it will go hostile again.
==Check out the Circus as soon as it's available.
==Melee attacks and grappling are extremely effective when upgraded.
==Hold L1 to block with shield and right after someone attacks you, continue holding L1 and press R2 to bash the equipment out of enemies hands.
==Upgrade Keen senses to unlock dodge.
==The Double Jump skill is misleading, it only works while starting to fall again after a jump. The True Double Jump is from making Kuku Breeze-Step Boots.
==Smash boxes and jars to obtain useful items for late game like Cogs, Lubricant, and Small Batteries.
==Each character can only earn 100 Abyss Artifacts per character through combat.
==Save all Light & Paltry Copper Pouches to gift NPC's to build trust.
==Don't fret over resource Dispatch Missions too much until you unlock recruiting the Mecha Workers for your camp.
==Donate to Church Donation boxes to raise contribution with the Church in each region to massively increase rewards from Dispatch Missions.
==There's a Pirate hat with a feather that glows when near a Treasure Chest.
==There's a Backpack that makes infinite chocolate for healing.
==There's a Fertilizer Sprayer for crops.
==There's a necklace that makes it rain literally. Great for watering your entire crops for a couple days.
==Look for Bulletin Boards with Purple Notes on them for new missions, bounties & important info.
==For easier archery contest place a beehive by your opponent or block his view with wagons or large objects.
