How to Obtain Quests in Crimson Desert

Quests can be obtained in various ways in Crimson Desert. You can stumble upon a book or note and read it to get a quest, or you can receive a letter for your next mission. There is a notice board in all major cities and towns with requests and bounties that you can consider taking.

Other than that, you can stumble upon world events that have their very own chain of side quests that you can complete. The main quests are given from the start, and you can follow them to get the next mission. Speak to as many NPCs as you can to get more quests out of them.

Completing missions in Crimson Desert is highly beneficial, even more so than in other games. Instead of XP, the Crimson Desert skill tree is tied to Abyss Artifacts and a unique mechanic named ‘Observing’. Abyss Artifacts can be obtained by completing missions, puzzles, and defeating bosses.

Certain skills are locked behind story and side missions, only giving players the chance to observe them when playing the mission itself. This makes completing missions, even side ones, highly beneficial.

So, that’s the full list of Crimson Desert missions. Have any questions or facing trouble completing a specific mission? Let us know in the comments below.
