Overview
A Fresh Start is the 32nd main quest in Crimson Desert. With Howling Hill donated by Marquis Serkis, the Greymanes need to finish building their camp. Kliff pitches in with four construction tasks: moving supply sacks, hammering tent stakes, clearing rocks and pushing a wagon, and raising the clan banner. The four objectives can be completed in any order.

Walkthrough
All four tasks can be completed in any order. Each has its own quest marker at the camp.
Task 1: Move the Sacks
Head to the central marker where three supply sacks rest on the ground. Pick each one up (L1 + Square on PlayStation, LB + X on Xbox) and carry it to the highlighted collection area behind you where other sacks are already stacked. Drop them with L1 + Triangle (LB + Y). Repeat for all three sacks.
Task 2: Drive in the Tent Stakes
Go to the northernmost marker and find a small table holding a Mallet. Equip the mallet from your inventory wheel. Four tent stakes are sticking out of the ground nearby. Strike each stake three times until it turns red, indicating it is fully driven in. The mallet is straightforward to use; just walk up to each stake and swing.
Task 3: Clear Rocks and Push the Wagon
At the second northern marker, a wagon sits under a tent frame with rocks blocking its path. Grab the Pickaxe next to a nearby crate and lock onto the rocks. Strike them to break all three. This yields Stones and Fine Stones as crafting materials, which can be useful for early upgrades. Once the rocks are cleared, move behind the wagon and push it forward into the tent structure.
Task 4: Raise the Banner
Head to the southernmost marker and find the Greymane banner lying on the ground. Retrieve the banner pike and use the Nature's Grasp ability (Triangle + Square on PlayStation, Y + X on Xbox, then tap X/A) to lift the banner and plant it in its holder. A cutscene plays. This shows the banner standing tall over the new camp with the hardworking men and women of the camp cheering.

Tips
Save the banner task for last since it triggers the completion cutscene. The other three tasks are functional and can be done in any order without issue.
The pickaxe used during the wagon task also yields stone materials, so do not rush through the rock-breaking. The Stones and Fine Stones are useful for crafting later.
No enemies appear during this quest. It is entirely a camp-building exercise, providing a breather between the intense Chapter 2 finale and the challenges ahead.
The Large Bag is one of the biggest inventory upgrades you receive in the early game. It makes a noticeable difference for managing loot and supplies.
