Anyone unlock the Chainsaw? Its from the Dewhaven Research Institute, but the npc to talk to doesn't have the quest to start it up. I think it is locked behind Main Story progress, but no idea how far. I'm at the start of Ch9.

Here is a video from a well known BDO streamer, EvilDoUsHarm, going over combat stat scaling. tldr; Double crit from accessories is a myth, you actually want 15 points of Crit from gear regardless of what the stat sheet shows.

First dispatch mission to Timeworn Ruins finished yesterday while I was farming up enough small bones to upgrade all my gear and got a notification saying I had learned about Natima's Horn(?). Had no idea what that was, so I looked it up and apparently it is an item you can craft which resets...

New patch out... Storage up to 1000 slots. [Updates] Patch Notes Version 1.02.00 | Crimson Desert

Controls are not that bad, but for you they will feel awkward because they are not what you're used too having played so many other games that all share similar control setups. CD just piles on many other skills. That being said, there are some skills which simply fail to fire off due multi-use...

He just wasn't given many lines. Yann and Naira are MUCH more verbose, while Kliff is mostly silent. Really weird, imo.

If you haven't yet, go up there at night and check out the view. Have never seen a view like that in a fantasy setting.

I've never experienced a worse designed fight than this Keglord. Edit: Natures Snare + Stab = easy win. I feel bad.

Remove all those gears except Crow's Pursuit, replace them with Atk, Crit, Atk Spd. Less flashy of course, but way more effective.

Once they are unlocked you have the option of Summoning them to fight with you, or to play as that other character.

Yes, from what I've seen all the armor types are the same within their types, with few exceptions. All the Plate Chest pieces will top out at 41 Defense, All Leather Chest pieces at 32 Def, etc. The Kairos Gloves and Boots are both 1 tier lower than the standard for Def, while the Scorched Plate...

I dunno what the purpose is, I got to a mission where I could use Damaine again and she has a Demeniss disguise, but I get slept right as I get to the door.

Yea, I'm in the same boat. Took a week off at launch, put 100hr into the game, now I'm back at work with a few hours / day to get stuff done, lol.

I've seen several videos showing that route, it just doesn't work. Only possible way for it to work, afaik now, would be: Finishing Ch8, or having enough Demeniss Contribution to buy a Disguise Cloak. I've seen many other people mention they get sleep darted as well.

If that is the Dark Marksman set, how did you get the Chest piece? The place where it is located, at least the one I know of, is inside a castle where I get sleep darted as soon as I step into the tunnel leading to the chest. Made the Kuku Bismuth Spear today as well, but I'm kinda...

Found the recipe for Gold Bars while exploring Spire of Insight. Not that difficult to make, but it seems to require having the Ice imbue unlocked. I also did some Beggars Alliance quests, and that finally unlocked the House Grace quest line..., so not done with Hernand yet (again).

Legendary Beast mounts are very meh. No gear, no skills and slow. My wolf doesn't even fight.

Anyone fought a Queen Stoneback Crab? With a controller. Basically, you need to Cling to its back and do some attacks, but when I'm up there and get the Cling prompt, it wants me to press L-stick, but all that does is use the Axiom Grapple. So as of now, its impossible to defeat it. Edit: Got...

Everyone on the subreddit is raving about how much improved the base PS5 performance is after this latest patch.

So glad I unlocked the Legendary Beasts yesterday. First thing I'll do later is kill White Fang and ride around, no more horse! I think you can take an item from other Legendary Beasts to Elowen and she will give you a contract to summon those Beasts as mounts. Also, White Fang will fight with...

No button mashing for sprinting on horse or for character, less stamina use while flying and moved storage chest to Kliff's tent. Big wins.

Yea, the ??? will be explained after Ch5, you'll begin your journey to meet the Waifu's of Crimson Desert. ;p

I would go to Chapter 5, chill for awhile and explore / work on Witch stuff and finishing as many of the House quest chains in Hernand as you can. Then push to Chapter 9. Then chill for awhile to explore / gear up. Do all the Abyss islands that unlock after you go up Spire of Stars. Go find...

If anyone is thinking of going the unarmed combat route, I suggest getting these Gloves: Kinetic Burst procs an energy ball that shoots forward, while the other (doesn't show a name) just makes your dmg go UP. The gloves themselves are for Damaine. I haven't extracted them yet to see if the...

I don't understand this comment. I imagine you've played soulslikes that have healing items, right? Do you never upgrade them or something? So this game has various lvls of enemies: Trash, Elites, Mini Bosses, Story Bosses, Real Bosses. Everything past Trash will wtf own you if you're not...

Yes, Unarmed combat can be quite good, but it has a high skill bar, imo. Yes, he was going to have a bad time vs. all those shield guys, but that is just due to there being so many and those shields make the mobs very tanky. There are many other little vids showcasing unarmed combat, especially...

Yes... but: Do you want a game where the main story is deep, engaging, emotional and makes you think about your life choices? If yes, move along. If no, they buy it. Will you get upset that some controls / functions are not what you're used to? If yes, move along. If no, then buy it.

They seem too.

Anyone know how the Stats page works? The Attack stat on Gloves and Boots have ZERO effect on overall shown stats, also any Attack, Attack Speed and Crit Chance gears you place in Gloves and Boots have ZERO affect while using a Weapon. They apparently only apply to Unarmed combat. The Defense...

80+hrs in now, and the graphics can looks nice, but they can also be total trash, but that seems to mostly limited to objects in the world like little structures. Even on the absolute max settings you can see shit like this: Switching to max graphics; dlaa+rr and I get: The landscape...

Yes. Starts a bit slow, can feel a bit janky, but if you interact with all of what the game offers, its very good.

Trained the ultimate Controller input skill: Focused Charged Shot: LT to Aim (hold) RT to Charge (hold) LS+RS to Focus (can release) RB (spam 10+ times) Release RT to fire volley. I will never use it in combat, maybe as an alpha strike.

@Springbok What is the pre-req for starting to unlock the Element Imbue? I had thought it was Ch5 and doing the Abyss Islands, but apparently not. Also, those Demenissian Righteous Inquisitors with shields are tough to kill.

Go get this for more R2 AoE fun: Edit: The Ator's Orb shoots out 5 homing orbs that go after a mob(s). Very reminiscent of some of the Sage skills in BDO (along with the name itself).

Also, the Silver Wolf Mountain area seems unfinished, or setup for questing only. I'm running around up there and there are empty forts, towns, and weird behaving npcs, and this little gem: The floating text disappears when closer, and its a puzzle / ancient ruin, no clue how it works though.

Has anyone else seen items like this, with the element symbol on it: No idea what it means. It seems the Deluxe Edition armor is in the game for free, or at least some pieces of it, unless this icon is wrong:

That chart is fucking awful. I recommend ppl ignore it and just look ingame, lol. Also, Antumbra Sword boss is ass. I think its the first real HP check, Kearish the Slayer was a cakewalk compared to this guy, and its not even his final form (final form is elsewhere). I went into that fight with...

No changes to the control setup, afaik, but the menus are snappier to open. @Daidraco They added some of those new teleport pads to areas you've been through. Yet another moment of me being a dumbass. After finishing the Abyss sections last night, I went to Camp and put all but 1 of the Abyss...

Went through all the Abyss sections that were available to me due to MSQ progression, and it was pretty fun. Make sure to search each island for treasure boxes. Got several new Abyss Gear from them. Still very very annoyed there isn't a view distance slider. Being able to see distant objects...

Edit: Whew, and older auto-save fixed my quest issue.
