How to farm money in Crimson Desert fast
Farming money, or Silver, in Crimson Desert is best done through Fundamentalist Goblins
There are a few ways to farm money in Crimson Desert fast, with two methods available depending on if you're in the early or the late game. One involves fighting goblins in Hernand, and the other is all about cheating at cards in the final areas of the map. I've got both money farming methods explained below, so you'll know how to make silver fast in Crimson Desert and never be poor again.
Best early money farm in Crimson Desert
To farm money in Crimson Desert's early game, you need to find and kill Fundamentalist Goblins and sell the loot they drop. Here's how to do that:
- Head to the Sunrise Plains, a region not far south of the Greymane Camp in Howling Hills.
- Here you'll find bands of random enemies called "Fundamentalist Goblins". Ride around on your horse to quickly find groups and quickly kill them.
- Search their bodies and the areas around for Crude Devil Masks. These are special pieces of headwear that they have a chance to drop – roughly 25% chance per Goblin killed by my experience.
- Repeat until either your inventory is full, or until you can find no more Goblins to fight.
- Use the Crimson Desert fast travel system to get back to any merchant, and sell all your Crude Devil Masks.
- Either play on or skip time until the Goblins respawn, then repeat the process. I found it took about two in-game days for them to come back.
These Crude Devil Masks are bizarrely valuable – you can sell them to any merchant for 13.71 each, and it's easy to come away from ten minutes of Goblin slaying with an inventory stuffed with them.
It does takes some time for the Goblins to return, but considering you'll probably have made up to 100 Silver on every run, that should more than tide you over until the next one. It's also a money farm that requires very little preparation or setup, as the Sunrise Plains are pretty easy to find early on and fighting enemies is very straightforward.
Another money farming method that might work at this point is to find a gambling den, save your game before you play, then bet everything and play wildly. If you lose, just reload your save and try again! It's a pretty random approach but basically free and can pay out well if your luck comes in. There's a gambling den upstairs in the Hernand tavern if you want to try that.
Best late game money farm in Crimson Desert
In the later game you can using the gambling method to farm money in Crimson Desert once you have at least 300 Silver already. You'll also need to have reached the Crimson Desert region, as in the actual desert in the Northeast corner of the map. Once you have the cash and can reach desert, do the following:
- Head to the town of Tomasso in the middle/South region.
- In the centre of town is a gambling den where you can play Duo.
- Save the game just before going in.
- Enter the game, which has a buy-in of 300 Silver.
- Immediately go all-in. At least one player is likely to call your bet.
- If you win, you will immediately earn 300 Silver, at which point you should stand up and save again, just to bank that money. If you lose, reload the save and try again.
- Sit back down at the table and repeat the process.
The only real problem with this method are the load times in Crimson Desert which can be a little slow. You are also ultimately at the mercy of luck, but you can easily make 1000 Silver in minutes and just keep going. It's far quicker and more profitable than selling Trade Goods in Crimson Desert.
Obviously you can do this at any gambling den in Crimson Desert, but the one I've outlined above is the most profitable, and the one that's actually good enough to be worth doing instead of the early game goblin mask farm.
