Crimson Desert Faction Quests

Faction Quests are organized by category and/or faction. For example, you'll spend a good portion of your time collecting side quests for the Hernand region. Alongside this, you'll also pick up some quests to rebuild the Greymanes. While almost all of these are optional, there is at least one moment in the main story that detours into the Faction Quests.

Faction Quests are the main way to expand your inventory space, as well as gain contribution experience for the region you're in. This can help you get better gear at each region's Contribution Shop.

Greymanes Faction Quests

The Greymanes Faction Quests revolve around getting the Greymanes back together after how the prologue went down. Many of these quests focus on recruiting comrades, creating a base, and completing fetch quests.
