Want Easy Money In Crimson Desert? Here's How To Snag A Gold Bar Super Early

Hey, Daily Quest readers.

Crimson Desert is already blowing minds with its wild mix of dragon riding, magic, mechs, and jetpacks — but here's something nobody expected: the game's money system is surprisingly realistic. Forget just looting coins off enemies. This game wants you to open a bank account and make investments. Yes, really. And if you want a head start, there's a sneaky way to grab a gold bar way earlier than you're supposed to.

How Money Works In Crimson Desert

Unlike most action RPGs that shower you with gold from quests and loot drops, Crimson Desert takes a different approach. To start earning passive income, you need to:

• Open a bank account for 100 silver
• Deposit a gold bar to start earning interest
• Watch your wealth grow over time

It's genuinely unique — and kind of hilarious. But here's the catch: gold bars aren't exactly lying around in the early game. Unless you know exactly where to look.

Where To Find A Gold Bar Early

Thanks to a discovery highlighted by PC Gamer, there's a gold bar hiding at Lioncrest Manor, located just northwest of the starting area. It's technically tied to a later quest, but nothing stops you from breaking in early and helping yourself.

Here's exactly how to get it:

1. Head to Lioncrest Manor northwest of the starting zone
2. Go around to the back — the front entry is blocked
3. Climb the wall to the right of the back door
4. Open a window to sneak inside
5. Head downstairs and find the fireplace with a lion statue above it
6. Extinguish the fire and examine the area
7. Grab the gold bar from the hidden compartment

Just make sure nobody's watching when you swipe it!

Start Investing Early, Thank Us Later

Seriously, getting that gold bar early means passive income from the jump. No more relying solely on combat loot or cooking food on the ground using your sword as a sun reflector like an absolute madman.
