Silver runs out really fast in Crimson Desert. Between boss fights, gear upgrades, armor purchases, and supplies, players will find themselves continuously spending. Pearl Abyss’ massive open-world RPG can become extra daunting if players are constantly looking for Silver.
The game hides several surprisingly lucrative money-making methods in plain sight. We will cover five of the best early silver-farming methods! Ranging from simple habits to one-off windfalls worth hundreds of Silver in seconds.
1. Loot Every Single Enemy

Enemies drop weapons, armor, and money bags that sell for solid Silver at any vendor. Hence, players should loot every enemy without exception. Bleed bandits in Hernand drop helmets that individually sell for 10 to 14 silver each!
Always look for small gray X markers, which indicate loot on the ground, so nothing gets missed during chaotic fights. Additionally, players who unlock a pet early on gain a major advantage. Since pets automatically collect items from defeated enemies.
2. Steal and Sell Wagons
A lucrative opportunity in the ‘trade’ of wagons awaits players. Image Credit: Pearl Abyss
Wagons are scattered along roads across Pywel. They are usually guarded by bandits or parked near NPCs. Players can simply take them and deliver them to the Illicit Wagon Trader.
The Illicit Wagon Trader is located near the castle in Hernand City. The trader will pay between 5 and 12 silver per wagon. Rather than turning it into a Silver farming session, it’s advisable to grab every wagon players come across during normal exploration.
3. Rob the Hernand Bank Vault
Bank robbery is always a sure-shot way to get rich, right? Image Credits: Pearl Abyss
Robbing the Hernand Bank is one of the essential things players should do early in the game. However, it’s not as easy; you will need a Mask to rob. Here’s how you should go about it:
Buy the Mask (10 Copper) from Grimrak, the Back Alley Merchant, just outside the walls of Hernand City
If you don’t have a generic Key buy that from Grimark as well for 30 Copper
Enter the bank after equipping your Mask
Turn left towards the locked door, which will be unlocked automatically with the Key
Loot all the storage boxes inside
Keep in mind that as long as players are not spotted, the only consequence is a minor drop in Hernandian Contribution Level. This can easily be recovered through normal gameplay.
4. Grab the Secret Gold Bar from Lion Crest Manor

This gold bar will fetch players a healthy amount of Silver. Here’s how to get really rich really quickly, just follow these steps:
Head to the Lion Crest Manor, located just outside the Hernand Castle area
Enter through one of the back windows
Head downstairs to the main entrance area
Locate the fireplace in the back corner
Put the Mask on and interact with the fireplace to steal a Gold Bar
One thing to note is that selling the Gold Bar raw to any vendor nets around 190 Silver. However, taking it to the bank to trade it in pays a massive 500 Silver!
5. Intercept the Traveling Treasure Goblin
One of the easiest ways to get a Gold Bar in Crimson Desert. Image Credits: Pearl Abyss
Traveling Treasure Goblin is a rare roaming NPC goblin carrying a massive box on its back, spotted randomly while exploring the world. The community is still investigating its exact spawn locations and conditions. However, one of the confirmed locations is near the camp, close to Hernand.
Players have to simply draw their weapon near the goblin, which causes it to drop its box and run. Open it to receive a Gold Bar worth 500 Silver by trading it at the bank.
