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.
