Some of these quests provide direct map locations, while others provide hints and tips. The “Fifteen Men On A Dead Man’s Chest” quest tells you where to go, but when you arrive, there’s just a group of skeletons lying around on the floor.

To complete this quest, you need to unlock and craft a shovel. This is done by smelting a Copper Ore into a Copper Bar in the Furnace and then picking up the Copper Bar. This unlocks several recipes, including the shovel.

Once you have the shovel, head to the location shown on the map. You’ll notice that the skeleton bodies actually form a small circle. Use the shovel to dig in the center of that circle to reveal a treasure chest.

Once you have looted the chest, the quest will be completed.

Windrose features a number of mechanics that are tied to unlocking new materials and progressing to new technologies. Firstly, you can discover blueprints and recipes to unlock new items. Secondly, some can be unlocked via quest progress and lastly, discovering materials and items unlocks related recipes.

To unlock the Shovel recipe, you need to find Copper Ore. The world of Windrose is procedurally generated, so your islands and locations will be different to ours.

Every starting island has a Copper Cave somewhere. It’s a very large rock formation with an entrance that leads to an instanced cave. Once you get close, the ? on the map will change to a mining icon.

Once you have the Copper Ore, simply use the Furnace to smelt the Copper Ore into a Copper Bar. Once you remove the Copper Bar from the Furnace, you will unlock the Shovel recipe.

If you are struggling to find the Copper Cave on your island, follow the tutorial quests. One of them will take you directly to the cave, so you don’t have to worry about finding it.

Rosalinda Mercer

Rosalinda is a fantastic addition to your crew. She brings two powerful crafting bonuses. Master Bottle Maker (which doubles Clay Bottle production) and Talented Alchemist (which provides a 30% bonus to craft additional Elixirs). Clay Bottles are a vital component for healing supplies later in the game, so she’s well worth recruiting.

She can be found in Tortuga and costs 500 Piastre.

Jasper Crowe

Jasper Crowe is another very strong addition to your crew, offering a 30% chance of returning materials when upgrading armor at camp.

Jasper Crowe can also be found in Tortuga and will join your crew for 500 Piastre.

Black Axel

Food plays a huge role in Windrose, so having access to a skilled chef is a massive help. Black Axel has a 30% chance to craft an additional meal every time you cook. This includes cooking multiple of the same dishes.

Black Axel will join for 500 Piastre and can be found at the People of Tortuga’s main camp (this is not on Tortuga, it was a nearby island for us).

Mortar Joe

Mortar Joe is one crew member you will want to wait until later to recruit. His 30% chance to craft additional Gunpowder is another great trait, but you won’t gain access to Gunpowder until the later stages of the game.

He can be recruited for 500 Piastra and can be found at Brethren of the Coast main base.

Windrose features a procedurally generated game world, so your world and locations will not be the same as ours. However, the game features quest chains that directs the player to most of the locations, such as the Underground Network quest.

Almost all quests in Windrose start the same way. Exploring “?” locations on items, inspecting important clues (marked by a clear shining special effect), and looting items into Curios before adding them to your journal.

The Underground Network quest is the same. You find a smuggler’s camp that has been ransacked, and once you inspect all of the details at the location, the quest begins.

It’s important to understand that Tortuga is a central hub for buying items and exchanging reputation items. The Buyers, the NPC’s who buy the items from the player, are not in Tortuga. They are on the main base islands for their respective factions.

Below is a list of each faction and what it purchases.

Rogue Buccaneers

Brethren Of The Coast

Smugglers Of Port Royal

People Of Tortuga

There are two different methods to sheathing your weapon in Crimson Desert, one with speed, and one with style.

For the more stylish option, press “Left” on the directional pad twice. This sees Kliff sheathe his weapon with style, twirling the blade and handle before putting it away. As cool as it looks however, it’s pretty slow.

So to simply put it away, just press “Left” on the d-pad once. This will cause Kliff to quickly and easily put his weapon away.

There are two main elements to learning to dye armor and clothes. How, and where. Firstly, let’s get to the where.

Where To Dye Armor

Thankfully, you don’t have to wait long to start showing your style. You can find a Dyehouse just South East of Hernand, near the river. There’s a merchant there that both sells dyes and lets you dye your armor with the dyes you have.

How To Get Dyes

Dyes are obtained in a couple of ways. Firstly, they are sometimes used as quest rewards and can be found and stolen from various places in the world. Additionally, dyes can be crafted by the player.

To do this, all you need to do is fine a cauldron, such as the one near the Dye shop, in town, or at the first Witch house. You can then experiment with ingredients to make your own dyes. Once a dye has been made and used from the inventory, it is unlocked permanently without the need for further materials.

In this guide, we show you a quick and easy method to getting your first 50-70 silver which is more than enough to get you started, as long as you spend it wisely. Don’t waste your money on items you can get for free. Need food? Hunt the meat, steal the grains, buy only the water. Money is a challenge through much of Crimson Desert, but this can be drastically reduced with intelligent spending.

You don’t need much to get started, you only need a key and a mask. Once you have your key and mask, head to the bank in Hernand.

Directly opposite the banker is a locked door, head inside. This room is filled with loot. Expensive items you can take, chests you can rob. Make sure, when you loot containers such as a Small Locked Box, always open these in your inventory. They will give items that sell for 1-5x more than the box itself.

You can then sell these items freely to any vendor in town, you don’t need to sell it somewhere specific. Best of all, the chests in the bank respawn after 7 in-game days, so you can return and loot it all again later.

The Kuku Iron Pot in Crimson Desert is a vital component for players as they dive further into the game, as it has a unique feature that lets it store Abyss-related materials.

You cannot move items from your inventory into the Kuku Pot, and it cannot be used to store any items except those that belong in the Abyss.

These are commonly found after defeating Abyss or machine-based enemies, they can also be found during some puzzles and specific secret locations in the game.

The Kuku Iron Pot allows the player to use the Axiom grab ability and then Y or Triangle to store the item in the pot. Items can be removed from the Kuku Iron Pot by “Using” it from the inventory screen, which opens the Kuku Iron Pot’s inventory, and then selecting the “Discard” option on the desired item.

This will drop it nearby. Players can then use the Axiom ability to move and place these items. Some help with puzzles but most are used as late-game crafting materials for fantastical machines or technologies.

Keys are found in the game world, marked by a small purse icon on the mini-map. They are also frequently obtained by killing bandits, smugglers, and other undesirables. It’s a bit of a strange system because these keys are not unique.

The base Keys are skeleton keys, of sorts. They will work on nearly any non-story related door in the game, and once they are used, they are gone.

A good example of this is the large castles in each of the towns. They are filled with locked doors, quite often needing 5-10+ keys to gain access to all areas. Approaching a locked door and attempting to enter will automatically used the key and open the door, the key is then removed from your inventory.

Prison Keys work much in the same way, except they only work on cells in jail and those you often find at barracks and other guard-based locations.
