11 Overview

33 Greymane Camp at Howling Hill is the player's home base in Crimson Desert. After the ambush by the Black Bears, Kliff and the remaining Greymanes regroup here to rebuild their mercenary company. The camp starts small but expands significantly as you recruit scattered Greymane members and invest resources into construction. Eventually, the camp becomes a comprehensive hub with crafting stations, merchants, a farm, a ranch, a personal house, and a full trading operation.

55 Camp expansion is unlocked after completing the "A Gentle Touch" main quest in Chapter 3. Once this quest is finished, the full construction system becomes available and you can begin building new facilities and upgrading existing ones.

77 Camp Facilities

1010 The following facilities can be built or unlocked at Greymane Camp. Each facility serves a specific purpose and is managed by a dedicated NPC.

1313 Camp Resources

1414

1515 Building and upgrading camp facilities requires both raw materials and currency. Resources flow into the camp through three main channels:

1616

1717 Direct gathering: Chop trees for wood, mine ore deposits, and collect materials from the world through life skills.Liberation missions: Free territories from enemy control to unlock new resource access points.Freesword Dispatch: Send comrades on passive resource-collection missions through Ross. This provides a steady supply of timber, ore, currency, and trade goods over time.

1818

1919 Always maintain active dispatch missions for continuous resource accumulation. The Freesword Dispatch system is one of the best ways to keep your resource stockpile healthy without dedicating time to manual gathering.

2626 Build Order Recommendations

2727

2828 While you can prioritize construction in any order, the following build order offers the best return on investment:

2929

3030 1. Alchemy Lab: Provides access to a cauldron for brewing Palmar Pills (revival items) and combat elixirs. This is the highest-priority facility because Palmar Pills are essential for surviving boss fights.2. Cooking Station: Unlocked through the Glenbright Farm quest. Cooking produces food that restores health, spirit, and stamina during combat.3. Blacksmith: Enables gear purchasing, selling, and refinement. Critical for upgrading weapons and armor.4. Farm and Ranch: Once operational, the farm and ranch provide a self-sustaining supply of cooking ingredients and trade goods.5. Wagon Shop: Requires recruiting Brice and an Engineering worker. Once built, the wagon opens up highly profitable trading routes.6. Dye Station: Cosmetic-only facility for coloring armor and equipment. Lower priority but adds customization options. See the All Dyes List for available colors.7. Personal House: Build once other facilities are complete. Provides a rest point and cosmetic furnishing options.

3232 Hidden Crafting Stations and Home Furniture

3333

3434 Beyond the facilities unlocked through comrade recruitment, Greymane Camp hides two sets of crafting conveniences that many players miss for dozens of hours.

3535

3636 Hidden Grindstone and Anvil Behind the Main Tent

3737

3838 A grindstone and an anvil sit tucked behind the camp's main tent, and they appear to be present from the moment your camp first unlocks in Chapter 3. Because they are placed out of the natural walking path, a large portion of the community misses them entirely and spends the early chapters traveling back to town just to reinforce gear before boss fights. Walk around the back of the main tent and you will find both stations side by side, ready to use with no silver or material cost.

3939

4040 Make a habit of visiting this hidden corner before any faction quest boss or stronghold liberation run. Both stations give a temporary reinforcement buff to your currently equipped weapon (grindstone) and armor (anvil), and they are completely free.

4242 Placing a Cauldron Inside Your Camp Home

4343

4444 The camp's personal home doubles as a build-mode workshop. Step inside the home to enter the placement UI, then you can drop a Cauldron as a functional piece of furniture. Once placed, you can craft every potion and pill recipe at camp without ever traveling back to a witch cauldron in town.

4545

4646 Purchase the cauldron from the vendor at the Furniture Shop in Hernand. After you own the item, fast travel to your camp, walk into your home to trigger build mode, then select the cauldron from the installable list and place it. This is arguably the most useful single piece of home furniture in the game, because it collapses the crafting loop for refined Palmer Pills and other consumables into a single camp visit. The pink flowers growing wild right outside your camp also feed back into endless regular Palmer Pill production.

4747

4848 Placing a Cooking Grill Inside Your Camp Home

4949

5050 A Cooking Grill can be placed inside your camp home using the exact same build mode flow as the cauldron. It is less essential than the cauldron because the existing camp cook handles most basic meals, but the grill unlocks access to a few more advanced recipes that the camp kitchen does not cover. Combining both stations turns the home into a fully self-contained crafting hub.

5151

5252 Tip: most witches in the open world sit next to a convenient fast travel point, so the time savings from the home cauldron are modest for players who fast travel freely. The real value is for players who prefer to stay at camp between expeditions, and the pink flowers directly outside camp make it a zero-travel farming loop for standard Palmer Pills.

5454 Tips

5555

5656 Always keep Freesword Dispatch missions active through Ross for passive resource accumulation.Recruit new Greymanes as soon as possible. Each new member expands your available workforce and may unlock new camp features.Complete the Timberturner Wainwright missions to unlock and upgrade the wagon for trading.The Cook and Quartermaster facilities unlock simultaneously after completing "A Rumor at Glenbright Farm."Camp construction follows the same physical building mechanics as other structures. You gather materials and physically construct the building.Donate unwanted items to Carl for camp growth rather than selling them at a loss.The Supply Chest at camp holds up to 230 slots of uncollected loot, so check it regularly.Building up the camp is tied to one of the best quest lines in the game. Do not skip the Greymane side quests.
