Revision 2

Overview

Fine Meat is a gatherable cooking ingredient in Crimson Desert. Its in-game description reads: "Provides generous cuts ideal for preparing a hearty feast. Delivers tenderness and rich flavor in every large piece." Fine Meat falls in the mid-tier of raw meat quality, sitting above Tough Meat and Lean Meat but below Tender Meat and Marbled Meat. Despite the quality differences, all raw meat types produce the same result when cooked into standard recipes like Grilled Meat.

Stats

How to Obtain

Fine Meat can be acquired through two main methods:

• Butchery vendors: Purchase Fine Meat from butchery merchants in towns such as Hernand Town. The meat vendor restocks her inventory every night at 0:00 in-game time. You can rest at a nearby cooking pot for 12 hours to speed up the restock timer.

• Skinning animals: Hunt and skin medium-sized animals in the wild. Mountain Goats are one of the most efficient sources of Fine Meat because they go down quickly compared to deer. Groups of deer also drop Fine Meat alongside other meat types when skinned.

To skin an animal after killing it, approach the carcass and interact with it. The type and quantity of meat you receive can vary.

Uses

Cooking

Fine Meat can be used as a meat ingredient in any recipe that calls for raw meat. When used at a Field Grill or Field Pot, it produces the same result as any other meat type. One piece of Fine Meat is enough to cook a Grilled Meat (+80 HP), and it can be substituted into recipes like Clear Soup, Meat Soup, Braised Ribs, and Battered Meat without affecting the final dish's stats.

Pet Feeding

Fine Meat can be fed to pets to increase their trust. To feed a pet, open your inventory, select the meat, and drop it on the ground near the animal. Dogs accept all types of raw meat and gain +35 Trust per feeding. Cats are pickier and will refuse standard red meat; they only accept Bird Meat, fish, or milk.

Keep in mind that NPCs and stray animals nearby may steal dropped food before your target pet eats it. Lure the pet to a quiet spot before dropping the meat.

Tips

• Since all meat types produce identical Grilled Meat, consider selling Fine Meat at the vendor and buying cheaper Tough Meat for cooking instead.

• Mountain Goats in the hills surrounding Hernand are the fastest source of Fine Meat if you prefer hunting over purchasing.

• The butchery vendor in Pailune (accessible from Chapter 7 onward) provides a second source of daily meat purchases, effectively doubling your supply.

• Stock up on Fine Meat early if you plan to tame dogs, as the +35 Trust per feeding adds up quickly.
