Overview
The Supply Chest is a passive loot collection container located at the Greymane Camp at Howling Hill in Crimson Desert. It automatically gathers loot that you miss or leave behind during combat encounters, camp liberations, and point-of-interest clearing. The Supply Chest is not a manual storage system; you cannot deposit items into it yourself. Instead, it acts as a safety net that catches anything you did not pick up before leaving an area.
Because Crimson Desert does not have a traditional item storage or stash system at launch, the Supply Chest serves an important role in preventing valuable drops from being permanently lost. It has a capacity of 230 slots, so you should check it regularly between adventures to keep it from filling up.
Location
The Supply Chest is found at the Greymane Camp at Howling Hill, positioned behind Carl, the Base Camp Provisions Keeper. Carl stands near the provisions area of the camp. Walk behind him to find the large chest, which can be inspected and opened by interacting with it.
The chest becomes accessible after you unlock the Howling Hill Camp through the main story progression during Chapter 3. You do not need to complete any additional side quests to gain access; it is available as soon as the camp is established.
How It Works
The Supply Chest collects items passively from multiple entries:
Source | What Gets Collected |
|---|---|
Loot drops from enemies you defeated but did not pick up before the area was cleared or enemies despawned | |
Camp Liberations | Any items left on the ground after you liberate an enemy camp or point of interest |
Dropped Letters | Letters and documents you encountered but did not collect during quests |
Recipes that dropped during gameplay but were not examined or picked up |
The types of items that can appear in the Supply Chest include upgrade materials, food, weapons, crafting resources, and other miscellaneous loot. Essentially, anything that would have dropped as a pick-up during gameplay can end up in the chest if you missed it.
Capacity and Management
The Supply Chest has a maximum capacity of 230 slots. Items stack within the chest the same way they do in your personal inventory; consumables and materials stack up to 50 per slot, while weapons and armor occupy one slot each.
If the chest reaches capacity, new items may not be saved. To prevent this, make a habit of checking the Supply Chest every time you return to camp. Transfer valuable items to your inventory or sell them to free up space.
Carl's Recover Items Service
In addition to the Supply Chest, you can speak with Carl directly and select the Recover Items tab. This service allows you to repurchase items that were lost from the Kuku Pot. If you accidentally lose a Kuku Pot item, Carl can sell it back to you, though the repurchase cost is higher than the item's original value. This is a separate service from the Supply Chest and covers specifically Kuku Pot losses.
Important Limitations
Not manual storage: You cannot place items into the Supply Chest yourself. It only collects items you missed during gameplay.
No traditional stash: Crimson Desert does not include a player stash or bank system at launch. The Supply Chest is the closest equivalent, but it only works for missed loot.
Capacity limit: At 230 slots, the chest can fill up over time. Check it frequently to avoid losing overflow items.
Items are not sorted: Loot in the chest is stored in the order it was collected. You may need to scroll through it to find specific items.
Tips
Check the Supply Chest every time you return to Greymane Camp to sell, craft, or restock. This keeps the chest from overflowing and ensures you do not miss valuable drops.
After large-scale liberations where many enemies are defeated quickly, the Supply Chest is especially useful. Enemies can despawn before you have time to loot them all, and those drops go straight to the chest.
If you have pets that auto-collect loot, the Supply Chest is a backup for anything your pets miss.
Sell documents, books, and other already-read items from the chest to vendors for extra silver. Once you have read them, they take up space with no additional benefit.
Combine Supply Chest management with regular inventory expansion through bags and commissions for the smoothest gameplay experience.
