Haste I

Overview

Haste I is a standard passive Abyss Core in Crimson Desert. The speed increase affects walking, running, and sprint speed outside of combat, and also provides a slight boost to combat movement for repositioning during fights.

While raw damage or defense cores are often prioritized, movement speed should not be underestimated. Faster movement means quicker traversal across the open world, better positioning during boss fights, and easier kiting of ranged enemies. For exploration-heavy sessions, Haste I can save considerable time.

Properties

How to Obtain

Purchased from Witch merchants. Occasionally found in supply chests and as drops from nimble enemy types.

Standard Abyss Cores like Haste 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 Haste I into any compatible equipment piece (Armor) to gain its Movement Speed Lv 1 bonus. The effect is always active as long as the core remains socketed and the equipment is worn.

Tips

• Haste I is particularly useful during long overworld travel sessions where you are running between objectives.

• In combat, the movement boost helps with circling around slow enemies to attack their flanks or rear.
