If you have been looking for Abyss blueprints while playing Crimson Desert, you will know that they are generally associated with either boss fights or specific quests. You may be surprised, however, to learn that another option exists for acquiring Abyss blueprints: namely, through a dispatch mission. This guide will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to access the blueprint for the Dark Crescent ability.
Unlocking the Dark Crescent Blueprint
Abyss gear blueprints have mainly been acquired through defeating bosses or drops tied to quests recently. This has changed with the introduction of Dark Crescent ability; players will now be able to obtain the blueprints from the dispatch system instead of needing to defeat bosses. You will, however, need to have progressed through the camp system, so you should ensure that you have leveled up your camps and continue completing all missions.
Where to Find the King Shield Dig Site
To begin the dispatch mission that rewards you with the Dark Crescent blueprint, you will have to go to the King Shield dig site. The site is located near the starting location and is accessible early on in the game. The difficulty level of this area is not that harsh, so you shouldn’t have any issues with being under-leveled. However, be aware of enemies present in the area or perform tasks during the dispatch mission. The rewards you receive from the dispatch mission are random by design, so you won’t get the blueprint every time, but it’s definitely worth the try.
Random Rewards and Supply Line
Be aware that King Shield Dig Site rewards will always be random. The Dark Crescent blueprints are never guaranteed from the rewards and you may only receive regular gear at times. This can lead to visiting the site more than once before you get the Blueprint of Dark Crescent. The mission also takes considerable resources; maintaining a healthy supply line will also allow you to progress more easily with the dispatch missions.
With the Dark Crescent blueprint, you will be able to gain Abyss blueprints independent from boss drops. By progressing through the camp system and completing the dispatch mission at the King Shield Dig Site, you can acquire this blueprint, though it may take a few attempts as the rewards are random.
