Recorded the 10x Camp Funds increase from Silver donations and the camp donation cost display fix from patch 2.01.00
11Overview22Camp Funds are the shared communal currency in Crimson Desert used for maintaining and operating the Greymane camp at Howling Hill. Unlike personal silver that belongs to Kliff, camp funds are collective resources managed for the entire group. They cannot be converted back into personal currency.66Camp funds become increasingly important as the game progresses. Early camp expansions cost modest amounts, but later upgrades and the Pailune reconstruction project can require over 100,000. Since patch 1.18.00 on August 15, 2026 they also pay for every project at the Research Institutes, which previously charged personal silver, so the camp pool now gates institute progression as well as camp construction.88Properties1010PropertyValueTypeCommunal CurrencyGradeNormalPersonal UseNo (camp-only)Convertible to SilverNo1212How to Earn Camp Funds1313There are several ways to accumulate camp funds:1515Patch 2.01.00 on September 4, 2026 changed camp donations in two ways. Camp Funds gained from donating Silver were increased by 10x, and camp donation missions that had been charging fewer resources than the interface displayed were corrected, so the amount shown is now the amount actually taken. Any donation ratio or cost figure on this page that was recorded before September 4, 2026 should be read as a pre-patch number.17+Donating Silver1719The most direct method is donating personal silver to the camp. Talk to Carl (the Provisions Keeper) at Howling Hill and select the "Manage Camp Provisions" option. Use the "Donate Funds" function (F on keyboard, Y/Triangle on controller) to convert your silver into camp funds.1921Gold Bar Conversion2123A faster way to boost camp funds in bulk is through gold bars. At any bank, you can convert 500 silver into one gold bar. Donating a gold bar to your camp provisions yields 50,000 camp funds. For context, the fourth camp expansion costs around 100,000 camp funds, which is just two gold bars.24+A faster way to boost camp funds in bulk is through gold bars. At any bank, you can convert 500 silver into one gold bar. Donating a gold bar to your camp provisions yields 50,000 camp funds. That figure was measured before patch 2.01.00, and the patch restated the Silver donation rate rather than the gold bar rate, so treat the gold bar value as unconfirmed for the current build until it is measured again. For context, the fourth camp expansion costs around 100,000 camp funds, which is just two gold bars.2325Security Dispatch Missions2527Security dispatch missions are a steady passive income source. These missions are typically available at manors and noble estates. Two reliable early options in the Hernand region are Oaken Shield Manor and Hillside Manor. Running these missions consistently provides enough camp funds to cover most early and mid-game expenses without needing to farm gold bars.2729Wagon Trading2931Selling packaged trade goods at trading posts generates camp funds directly. The profits from wagon deliveries go into the camp fund pool, not into Kliff's personal wallet. Cycle-based price fluctuations mean savvy traders can maximize profits by buying low and selling high.3133What Camp Funds Are Used For3335Dispatch missions: Sending comrades on missions often requires a camp fund investment.Camp expansions: Each expansion of the Greymane camp costs camp funds alongside other resources (food, wood, stone, armor provisions).Construction projects: The Pailune reconstruction project and barracks upgrades are among the most expensive uses, with some individual projects costing 20,000+ armor provisions and significant camp funds.Combat missions: Large-scale combat dispatch missions require camp funds as part of their cost.Research projects: since patch 1.18.00 every project at a Research Institute is funded with camp funds instead of silver.3537Tips3739If you have access to gold bars (from the bank, treasure trader goblins, or All Gold Bar Locations), donating them is by far the fastest way to stockpile camp funds.Security missions at manors provide the most reliable passive camp fund income in the early game. Run them continuously while doing other activities.Camp funds become much more important in the late game. The fourth camp expansion alone can cost around 100,000 camp funds, and subsequent Pailune reconstruction projects add up quickly.3941See Also4143Trading - Complete trading and economy guideWagon Trading - Packaged goods transport systemGold Bar - The quickest way to boost camp fundsBank - Where to convert silver to gold barsGreymane Camp - Camp management overview
