Revision 3

Overview

Insight I is a standard passive Abyss Core in Crimson Desert. Critical hits in Crimson Desert deal bonus damage (typically 1.5x the normal hit), so even a moderate increase to crit rate translates into a meaningful DPS boost over sustained fights.

This core benefits builds that land many individual hits, since each hit has an independent chance to crit. Fast weapons like daggers and one-handed swords get more value from crit rate than slower two-handed weapons, though the bonus is useful on any build.

Properties

How to Obtain

Purchased from Witch merchants. Also drops from elite enemies and can be found in mid-game supply chests.

Standard Abyss Cores like Insight 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 Insight I into any compatible equipment piece (Weapons, Gloves, Footwear) to gain its Critical Rate Lv 1 bonus. The effect is always active as long as the core remains socketed and the equipment is worn.

Tips

• Stack Insight I across multiple equipment slots for a noticeable jump in crit frequency.

• Insight I works well alongside Destruction cores: raw attack increases the base damage that crits multiply, while crit rate ensures those multiplied hits happen more often.
