Overview
Swift I is a standard passive Abyss Core in Crimson Desert. Functionally, it provides the same attack speed bonus as Gale I; the two cores are identical in effect but use different names.

Having both Swift I and Gale I in the loot pool means players are more likely to find at least one attack speed core during their playthrough. You can socket one of each into different equipment slots to stack the attack speed benefit across your loadout.

How to Obtain
Purchased from Witch merchants. One of the more common cores available from early-game vendors.
Standard Abyss Cores like Swift 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 Swift 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
Swift I and Gale I are interchangeable. Use whichever you find first, and save the other for a different equipment slot.
Upgrading to Gale II when it becomes available provides a noticeable jump in attack speed beyond what two Lv 1 cores can offer in a single slot.
