Crimson Desert 's Charting the Unknown has arrived, but rather than a focused story expansion, it's more about adding other elements to the existing world.

This includes endgame challenges, new housing options, a romance system, plus a sailing ship and ocean questline about exploring Pywel's treacherous coast and islands. Each feature has different unlock requirements, so here are the exact details for each.

Shipbuilding and exploring the ocean

You can unlock the ability to buy or build your first ship after "Expanding the Camp" in "Gathered Will" during the "Grounds of the Sunrise" Greymane faction quest.

The quest to build your first ship will unlock, and progressing this questline will lead to the new ocean story.

You can upgrade to a medium or large ship for 1.2 million or 6 million camp funds respectively, or build either, which will cost less funds, but more materials.
