Wild Ginseng Seed

A seed that will grow into a wild ginseng when planted in fertile soil. An abundance of ginseng can be harvested later.

Basic Information

Crop Details

A medicinal herb valued for its restorative properties. Wild ginseng can be gathered from various locations across Pywel.

How to Obtain

There are several ways to acquire this seed in Crimson Desert:

• Extract from fruit: If you have the corresponding fruit in your inventory, hold the use button on it (Inspect, then Extract Seed) to obtain plantable seeds.

• Purchase from Kamu: Buy seeds directly from Kamu, the seed vendor at the Greymane Camp. Kamu's inventory expands as you activate seed supply contracts.

• Seed supply contracts: Reach 100 trust with town grocers to unlock seed supply contracts that expand Kamu's available seed selection at the Greymane Camp.

Farming

To plant this seed, walk up to an open land parcel on your farm at the Greymane Camp and select Plant Seed from the interaction menu. The seed must be explicitly equipped from your inventory before planting. Position yourself next to a planting hole and hold the interaction button until the planting animation completes.

Trees and crops take approximately three in-game days to fully grow. You cannot uproot a growing crop early or plant over an existing one. After harvesting, chop the plant down before planting a new seed in that plot.

Uses

Wild ginseng is classified as a medicinal herb rather than a standard fruit or vegetable. It is used in alchemy rather than conventional cooking.

Notes

At the Pororin Research Institute, the Mysterious Energy of Wild Ginseng research project raises the spirit level cap past its normal threshold, making wild ginseng cultivation strategically important for late-game character development.
