Looking to rack up some Silver in Crimson Desert? The easiest way is by snagging yourself some gold bars.
Silver is the primary currency used in Crimson Desert and is vital if you want to purchase gear, food, supplies, and weapons. And if you want to expand your Greymane Camp, all of those things are vital resources. While you can get these as you play, one quick way is by getting your hands on gold bars.
And here's everything you need to know to do it.
How to Get Gold Bars in Crimson Desert
Gold bars are an extremely rare resource in Crimson Desert, and there is currently no known way to get them for free.
Instead, you'll need to steal and pickpocket gold bars from Nobles. To be able to do so, you'll need to purchase a mask from Grimark, the Back Alley Vendor in Hernand. A mask costs you ten Copper. If you can't find Grimark, he is located in the southeast of the church in Hernand.
After you secure gold bars, the next step is to invest them. Never sell your gold bars to merchants, as they will only offer you 190 Silver for them. Investing it in the bank will allow your fortune to grow passively.
Where to Get Gold Bars in Crimson Desert
One of the best places to steal Gold Bars from is by the fireplace in Lioncrest Manor. This is located northwest of Hernand Tower. Make sure to have your Mask equipped to be able to steal.
You can't just enter the Manor through the main entrance. Instead, head to the backside of the manor, search for a wooden window leading to the second floor. Once you spot it, climb up the windows, hang from the windowsill, and bust open the window.
Once you're in, you'll need to be careful, as the place is crawling with guards. Sneakily make your way to the main foyer and locate the fireplace. You'll be able to steal the Gold Bar from the fireplace.
Make sure the guard is not approaching you as you steal. If caught, you'll be sent to jail with a bounty on your head. Keep a close eye on the guard's movement pattern so that you can get away without being seen.
How to Pickpocket Gold Bars in Crimson Desert
Itching for more Gold Bars? The next thing you can do is pickpocket them from Noble NPCs. Again, make sure to wear your Mask to be able to pickpocket.
Nobles are usually found roaming outside Manors, Churches, and Banks during the morning and afternoons.
To pickpocket from them, approach Noble NPCs and search them with your lantern. If they are carrying Gold Bars, you will see a long block of metal. Once you see the "Steal" option appear, select it and run away as fast as possible to avoid getting caught.
How to Invest Your Gold Bars in Crimson Desert
So, you now have your gold bars. As mentioned, it's not a smart idea to sell them to merchants. The best step is to invest them in the Bank of Hernand.
Once at the bank, speak to Grover and open a strongbox for 100 Silver. After, exchange your Gold Bar for 500 Silver. With your Strongbox, you'll be able to invest your gold bar. There are three risk methods you can choose from: Low, Medium, and High.
Your returns are calculated every three days. To make sure you always yield a profit, save your game before checking the next refresh time. If your investment is successful, you can enjoy your spoils. But if it's a failure, simply reload your save and try again - or withdraw your funds to avoid losing everything.
