How to send Greymanes on missions in Crimson Desert

Aside from its general action-adventure gameplay, exploration, and puzzles, Crimson Desert also has loads of features and activities that signal Pearl Abyss’ past experience as an MMO developer.

One such activity is camp (or base) management, where you get your own base of operations and a crew to manage and send out on assignments, either to benefit your clan and upgrade its capabilities or to bring you actual usable items to enhance your intrepid adventuring.

The game, however, never explains how you’re to do so, at least not in the early stages, so here’s everything you need to know about Greymane missions.

How to start missions in Crimson Desert

Once you get access to your own camp in Hernand, you gain the ability to send your Greymane comrades on assignments to earn money or resources that are then used to upgrade and expand your base.

To start a mission initially, you need to do the following:

• Open the map.
• Select the Factions tab.
• Find a location that you want to send your crew to, the “subject” of the missions is shown by little icons at the top-right corner of the location’s name: wheat means it’s farming, a shield means it’s a bodyguard mission, etc.
• Double-click the location to bring it up to your screen.
• Select the Missions tab.
• Choose a mission.
• Select comrades to be sent (be mindful of their skills and how they can help enhance the yield of the mission).
• Press the Dispatch button on your respective platform.

The time it takes to complete a mission varies between them, though whatever hours it does show are related to in-game time, so if a mission needs eight hours to complete, you can just go and rest or wait for eight hours at a campfire to see it through. Missions restart automatically if you do not cancel them, so finding good spots to farm specific things constantly is a good idea.

You gain more comrades to send out on missions as you progress through the Greymanes’ faction quests and will eventually be able to start missions from a single hub using the Dispatch Coordinator at the Greymane camp. Using him lets you choose missions from a single screen and manage your team without having to use the map at all.

Later, when you progress and unlock more areas to send your comrades to, you can get actual items, and your Greymanes can start farming important resources for your actual character, rather than just obtaining camp-specific benefits like wheat, camp money, and so on.

Crimson Desert has no shortage of activities to engage yourself in, and fishing can be one of the most lucrative ones at that. While it doesn’t take too long for you to unlock the ability to fish, this guide will still help you out with all the steps.

To fish in Crimson Desert, you’ll need a rod. You can also get better rods once you spend more hours on your adventure. But first, let’s look at the basics, which start with obtaining your first fishing rod.

How to get a fishing rod in Crimson Desert

Once you’ve cleared the first few pieces of content that basically act as an extended tutorial, you need to find a fishing village. Fishing villages are shown as boats on the map. If you’re wondering how the villages look on the map, refer to the image below. You can find several of them spread all around the map.

You’ll find a fishing vendor at a fishing village. You can obtain a fishing rod from them. Once you have your first rod, you can start to fish. Do note that not all fishing vendors might be selling the rod. If you don’t find it at one vendor, try out another, and you should come across the rod.

How to fish in Crimson Desert

This is the easier part. Once you’ve found your rod, head to a water body. Make sure that your fishing rod is equipped. Next, you have to cast the line. Be careful not to cast it over any debris. Wait for a few seconds for a fish to catch the lure.

Typically, you’ll hear three splashes before the fish bites the lure. Once it bites, press the hook button to catch the fish. But first, you’ll have to tire out the fish. If the fish goes left, use the LS button to move the rod right. If it’s moving right, then use the LS button to take your rod to the left. Then, press the reel-in button to catch the fish. Only try to reel in the fish after it has tired out.

You can also get better rods like the Fine Fishing Rod from the Greymane camp, which an NPC sells. Having better rods will allow you to get better catches, and some of them will be a great way to earn money.
