Revision 2

Marni's Drilling Rig is a faction quest in Crimson Desert, part of the Abandoned Drilling Rig quest series. This quest takes place in the Hernand region.

Quest Details

Completion

The machina knights near the drilling rig were defeated. The inside of the rig is free to be examined now.

Provisioner Unlock After Completion

Completing Marne's Drilling Rig is the first step of a two-part chain that unlocks a permanent reward in Tinkerton. After the quest fires a cut scene at the cleared rig, you receive a follow-up quest called Reactivate the Drilling Rig which walks you through a small in-rig puzzle and sends you back to Cordelia in Tinkerton. Once Cordelia finishes her dialogue, fast travel away from Tinkerton and then return. The town provisioner's stock is now permanently expanded to include three items that are otherwise hard to find in the early game:

• Wooden Lantern, a cosmetic lantern swap that confirms the lantern slot has swappable variants at all.

• Flawless Timber, the top-tier logging material normally restricted to artisan's axe gathering.

• Pure White Dye, the rare white dye used for armor and cloak tinting.

Players who skip or delay the drilling rig chain can miss this vendor entirely, because the provisioner's expanded inventory does not flag itself on the quest rewards screen. If you see the Marne's Drilling Rig quest marker anywhere in your journal, make it a priority for the Tinkerton stock boost alone.

Tips

• Check the faction quest board regularly, as available quests rotate over time.

• Completing faction quests increases your reputation with the local faction, unlocking access to better vendors and rewards.
