Overview
Gale I is a standard passive Abyss Core in Crimson Desert. The increased attack speed reduces the recovery time between swings, allowing players to land more hits in the same window of time.
Faster attacks mean more opportunities to stagger enemies and more chances to trigger on-hit effects from other cores or weapon abilities. Gale I is a strong general-purpose core that benefits virtually every melee build.

How to Obtain
Purchased from Witch merchants at camps and settlements. Commonly found in early-game supply chests.
Standard Abyss Cores like Gale I can be acquired from Witches who serve as merchants at various camps and settlements across the world. Check with any Witch merchant when you visit a new area, as their inventory may include this core.
Usage and Strategy
Socket Gale I into any compatible equipment piece (Weapons, Gloves, Footwear) to gain its Attack Speed Lv 1 bonus. The effect is always active as long as the core remains socketed and the equipment is worn.
Tips
Attack speed is especially impactful on heavier weapons like two-handed swords and hammers, where the base swing speed is slow.
Gale I and Swift I both grant Attack Speed Lv 1. They are functionally identical and do not stack with each other in the same slot, but you can socket one in each different equipment piece.
