How To Get Money Fast

Get rich quick in Crimson Desert! Steal a Gold Bar for 190 Silver, mine rare minerals like Scolecite and Azurite, or win minigames for up to 900 Silver.

Money in Crimson Desert is denominated in silver and copper, with 100 copper equaling 1 silver coin. This currency is essential for purchasing equipment from vendors.

Early Game Gold Bar: Immediately after the Prologue, travel to Lioncrest Manor in the north of Hernand Castle. Climb the wall on the right side of the manor, open the window, and climb through. Descend to the fireplace and steal the Gold Bar. You must be wearing a mask for the steal prompt to appear. If you don't have a mask, purchase one from the Back Alley Shop south of Hernand. Escape the red search area before guards spot you. The Gold Bar sells for 190 Silver, providing a substantial early-game financial boost.

Mining Rare Minerals: Large clusters of Scolecite and Azurite can be found along the main road leading to Varnia. Each deposit yields up to 6 crystals/ore. Scolecite sells for 1.03 silver each, and Azurite sells for 0.95 silver each, netting approximately 6 silver per mining spot. These minerals respawn slowly, but activating fast travel points allows for future farming. Mining these can yield over 60 silver. Note that the Crimson Desert region is a long journey from the starting area, taking over 30 minutes to reach.

Mining Diamonds: Diamonds sell for 2.28 silver each and can be found in deposits of 6-8. They are often located in caves and hard-to-reach areas. Once discovered, they remain marked on the map and regrow very slowly over in-game weeks. Diamond locations include:

• In the crater southeast of Howling Hill in the Hernand region, at the end of a small cave.
• Southwest of the Demeniss region.
• In the Crimson Desert region, south of Tashkalp town.
• North of the Crimson Desert region, along the road to Varnia, north of Trader’s Expanse.

Minigame Winnings: Minigames offer a chance to earn up to 900 Silver quickly. Lower buy-in tables cost 150 silver, while higher value tables require a 300 silver buy-in. Winning an all-in round with 3 opponents yields +900 silver. Save manually before playing to reload if you lose. Cheating during the shuffle phase is also an option. Duo minigames are available upstairs in the Hernand inn. A higher buy-in version (300 silver) is found in Tashkalp, often with 4 opponents. A 5-cards minigame with a 300 silver buy-in is located northwest of Demeniss.

General Money Making Methods:

• Complete faction missions to unlock more inventory slots, which are indicated by rewards of “Bags” in the journal. Increased inventory allows you to loot more from enemies and sell excess armor and weapons.
• Open “small copper pouches” looted from enemies for instant money. These stack and can be opened all at once.
• Hunt and skin animals for their parts, selling them to vendors. Deer yield hides, meat, and sometimes horns. Upgrading leather armor with excess materials at a blacksmith before selling can increase profit.
• Mine rare ore in late-game regions using a pickaxe. The entire map is accessible from the start, allowing travel to the Crimson Desert for more valuable ores.
• Invest gold bars at the bank in north Hernand town (marked with a “?” icon). 500 silver can be exchanged for a gold bar. A deposit box costs 100 silver. Gold bars can be exchanged back for 500 silver. The alchemy recipe to craft gold bars can be found on the top floor of the Spire of Insight.
