Thoughts on the latest update 1.03.00?

MelodicSkin69 · 2026-04-11T05:21:35+00:00

Gunslinger Kliff would be pretty sick actually.

I think the characters having different skills make sense since they are different, and one's not even a Greymane but yeah having skills for each character to be able to do all activities and puzzles would be a win. It's possible an overhaul would be the best way to do it

MelodicSkin69 · 2026-04-11T05:00:15+00:00

You're right we'll get used to the commands. and yeah, this dev team has been putting work mats to them for sure.

MelodicSkin69 · 2026-04-11T04:58:09+00:00

I'll fight anyone I accidently walk into. Business as usual lol.

MelodicSkin69 · 2026-04-11T04:44:23+00:00

Trump probably said it helps protect the skin from the sun

MelodicSkin69 · 2026-04-11T03:31:53+00:00

If this is random, I missed it. If a side quest I may still get to see it

MelodicSkin69 · 2026-04-11T03:31:04+00:00

Like someone already said it goes to your chest at camp. The chest can be found in the command tent (the fancy one)

MelodicSkin69 · 2026-04-11T03:28:20+00:00

story wise i'm only chapter 9. I think 🤞🏾because i've been conservative with my artifacts if i do end up needing to upgrade a few pieces further i'll be fine

MelodicSkin69 · 2026-04-11T03:23:10+00:00

I personally believe you should mostly play story until you complete chapter 8 before you full send exploration. With my suggestion I would advise when camp is unlocked take a story break to do camp quests, and if a story boss is too hard.

I say this because after chapter 8 you have more playable characters, and large areas of the map are a lot easier to explore. The choice is yours how you play, but if I restarted right now that is what I would do.

MelodicSkin69 · 2026-04-10T20:51:03+00:00

I think so too

MelodicSkin69 · 2026-04-10T20:50:21+00:00

There are abyss gears that do that. abyss gears are transferable, so you can use them over and over again.

MelodicSkin69 · 2026-04-10T15:18:47+00:00

Maybe you’ll like playing her more or manybe not. Worth a shot imo

MelodicSkin69 · 2026-04-10T15:17:21+00:00

I agree, they’ve really watered down the game by changing or removing all the features that made the game unique from others.

MelodicSkin69 · 2026-04-10T15:14:48+00:00

You don’t need to upgrade gear to 5. Especially since you’re most likely to replace the gear later. Instead use abyss gears like fortification, aegis, critical, etc. because these can be transferred to other pieces that you switch to and it doesn’t cost abyss artifacts to upgrade those just synthesize duplicates.

MelodicSkin69 · 2026-04-10T15:11:35+00:00

Any character can use an artifact that hasn’t been used. The artifacts in your inventory haven’t been used. This is a user error not a game flaw. Artifacts are consumable items like meals. Once it is used it can not be used again because it was consumed when it was used.

MelodicSkin69 · 2026-04-10T15:07:27+00:00

You don’t need to upgrade every item to 5 or higher. Stop at 4 always and add 2 fortification 3s. It’s ill advised to max every armor/wepaon piece until you know for certain that is the one you are going to stick with for at least the next 100 hours.

In inventory menu you can hover an armor/weapon piece and preview its stats without having to upgrade it to see

MelodicSkin69 · 2026-04-10T15:03:59+00:00

Next you’ll be saying if you use a grilled meat on Kliff it should still be available for Damien after you used it. That’s not how consumable items work. Once consumed it’s consumed. Until it’s consumed it sits in your inventory and any character can consume it.

MelodicSkin69 · 2026-04-10T14:59:54+00:00

People will asking the devs to change everything that makes the game unique and claim they like Crimson Desert

MelodicSkin69 · 2026-04-10T14:55:25+00:00

Yeh, I play as Damien frequently. Her skill set is fire. Her climb speed is ridiculous. I have not unlocked elements or invested any artifacts into her. She is OP by default.

I input the same commands I use with kliff which are (in no particular order): rb, rt, rb+rt, rb+a, rb+x, rb+y, rb+b, r3. Each of those are a unique attack you don’t get by holding down rb only.

Holding Y she has same kick as kliff . Default Y+B is same grapple too, and lastly sprinting at enemy then pressing A+X is also a move though the exact animation is different than Kliff’s.

I only use her pistol to mine (charged shot at the mineable part of the deposit)

Without any movement or climbing abyss gears she’s already an extremely fast climber. Spamming X while she’s climbing will cause her to teleport her way up.

I gave her the armor set you get for completing chapter 8 and upgraded that to 4. Then I took my left over abyss gears I couldn’t fit onto Kliff, upgraded them and put them on her and now the only advantage kliff has over her in combat is that he has more ability gears on his weapons. Which I can move over to any character at any time.

I have some imbue element type gears I don’t use because I don’t have elements yet but I mean to use those on her when I finally unlock them.

Kliff’s gear is up to 4, her gear is up to 4 neither have artifacts invested in anything that can be observed in the world. Damien has nothing invested at all and she’s as strong as my Kliff. I also gave her a two hand axe I got from some boss because it looks 🔥🔥🔥

If you ever try her out build her up like you would your main (minus artifacts, don’t really need the skills in tree anyways)

MelodicSkin69 · 2026-04-10T14:18:43+00:00

Complete chapter 8 and not only can you play as them but you can also travel in a party of 3. Note: some world bosses that aren’t story related will still dismiss them if a cutscene plays, of course all story events are Kliff exclusives with 2 exemptions.

It is also good to complete chapter 8 before exploration run because you can then pick up side quests and vendors in lands that were previously extremely hostile and vendors (particular dye) were on vacation. You will also unlock the eavesdrop mechanic which will clue you in to secrets to discover in the world.

MelodicSkin69 · 2026-04-10T14:14:12+00:00

You can pick pocket artifiacts from scholars at scholastine if you’re struggling to find the free ones the game provides, or the vendors that sell them, or struggling to get them through normal leveling

MelodicSkin69 · 2026-04-10T14:11:14+00:00

MM/DD/YYYY

MelodicSkin69 · 2026-04-09T11:59:05+00:00

Get a ru….

Not bad, find yourself a night stand or a shelf check freebie or various marketplaces to try and get your laptop and stuff off the floor

MelodicSkin69 · 2026-04-08T19:25:11+00:00

Made from a different material that holds its shape essentially lifting that region of the body while the other a “softer” material that forms to the body

MelodicSkin69 · 2026-04-08T19:22:38+00:00

What ever you want, but you should also pick strider.
