Crimson Desert 1.00.03 patch notes: Private storage and more

Crimson Desert has received its second major update in little over three days since launch, and patch 1.00.03 adds some features that the community has heavily requested, including a personal storage where you can stash items. It’s a major improvement, since before you had to reach Chapter 3.

The new patch also includes plenty of other quality-of-life features that were missing since launch. Let’s look at the complete patch notes to get a better idea of all the changes.
