Revision 7

Overview

Acclaimed: Prelude to War is a collectible painting in Crimson Desert found in the Painting knowledge category. Unlike most collectibles, this painting is obtained through stealing. It can be sold to vendors for Silver, displayed as a decorative item at Greymane Camp, or gifted to NPCs to increase trust.

As its title suggests, the painting depicts a scene leading up to a conflict, capturing the tension and anticipation before battle. Paintings are among the more valuable collectibles in Crimson Desert, and stealing them carries risk due to the game's crime system.

Properties

How to Obtain

Acclaimed: Prelude to War is obtained by stealing it from Glenbright Manor. Glenbright Manor is a large estate that contains a variety of valuable items, including several paintings that can be taken if the player is willing to engage in theft.

To steal items in Crimson Desert, you must first obtain a Mask. Masks can be purchased from black market merchants, earned through bounty rewards, or looted from certain locations. Once you have a mask equipped, approach the painting and interact with the Steal prompt to take it.

Be aware that stealing reduces your Contribution points in the region. Wearing a mask in public also draws suspicion from nearby bystanders. For a full breakdown of the theft mechanic, see the How to Steal Items guide.
