Fast Travel & Mounts
Efficient travel is a cornerstone of any large open-world game, and Crimson Desert is no exception. The game features a robust fast travel system, allowing you to quickly traverse the expansive world. As mentioned in the source material, "Hunt Down Mysterious Energy for Fast Travel Spots" is a key early-game activity. This implies that fast travel points, likely represented by specific landmarks or energy nodes, must be discovered and activated before they can be used. Once activated, you can typically access them from any other discovered fast travel point via the world map. This system is essential for returning to towns, reaching distant quest locations, or quickly getting back to areas you need to revisit. Complementing fast travel are mounts. Acquiring your first mount is a significant step, providing a much faster means of overland travel than on foot. Mounts can be obtained through various means, such as quests, purchasing from stables, or taming. Once acquired, they can be summoned at almost any time, allowing for swift exploration of the game's diverse environments. The source material hints at the importance of mounts for traversal, and they will undoubtedly become your primary mode of transportation outside of the fast travel network. Keep an eye out for stable masters in towns, as they are usually the key NPCs for mount-related services.
