One of the best ways to earn silver in Crimson Desert Enhanced: Charting the Unknown DLC is to run facilities. Once you lease facilities, you'll be able to produce goods, hire workers, and sell the goods across Pywel.

Here is everything you need to know to get your operations running and keep your customers happy.

Unlocking Facilities for Lease

You cannot buy or rent properties right at the start of the game. First, you need to unlock the system through the main story quests in Crimson Desert Enhanced: Charting the Unknown DLC.

Head over to Hernand and interact with the local notice board. This starts the questline called Renewed Vitality.

The board gives you a job connected to the Timberham Sawmill. Once you read the notice, the game prompts you to lease that property.

Open your map, switch over to the Facilities tab, select the icon for the sawmill, and pay the upfront leasing fee. Once you sign the paperwork, the property is yours to operate.

Assign the Right Staff

Running a shop all by yourself takes too much time, so you need to bring in hired help. You can assign different companions and workers to specific jobs inside the building.

Keep an eye on their stats. Workers with higher skill levels make items faster and produce better quality stock. But here is the catch: highly skilled workers demand higher daily wages. If your daily revenue is still low, stick with cheaper help until your profit margins grow.

Place Required Installables

Your workers cannot do anything without the right tools. Installables are workstations, tools, and processing gear needed to craft items in Crimson Desert Enhanced: Charting the Unknown DLC.

You need to place these installables inside the building. Try to set them up close to each other. If your workers have to walk across the whole room between steps, they waste time, and your output drops. A compact layout keeps production moving quickly.

Set Product Prices and Manage Stock

Inside the goods menu, you choose which items your team will craft and sell. You also control the shelf price for each product.

Pricing directly affects customer satisfaction. If you set prices too high, customers will complain, leave bad feedback, and even walk away without buying.

If you drop prices too low, customers will leave happy, but you will barely make back your material and labor costs. You need to find a middle ground where you clear a reliable profit without driving shoppers away.

Open for Business

Once your stations are placed, your workers are assigned, and your prices are locked in, hit the button to open your shop in Crimson Desert Enhanced: Charting the Unknown DLC.

Customers will start gathering outside, and their icons will show up in the top-left corner of your screen. Your hired staff will greet them, take their orders, craft the items at their stations, and deliver the finished goods.

Keep an eye on the icons to see customer reaction emojis in real time. Remember that even if your prices are fair and your goods are solid, you might still get the occasional unhappy buyer.

Increase Facility Popularity

Raising your popularity level lets you expand your business and pull in wealthier patrons. You build popularity through two main methods.

The first method is consistent sales over time. Every single sale adds experience points toward your next business level.

The second method is finishing popularity tasks found directly inside your management menu. These are specific objectives like placing advanced installables, hitting sales targets, or satisfying a set number of customers in a row.

Finish these tasks as soon as they appear so your shop levels up quickly in Crimson Desert Enhanced: Charting the Unknown DLC.

FAQ

Q. Can I run a facility without hiring extra staff?

A. No. You need to assign workers to manage the installables and deliver goods to incoming shoppers. Leaving a shop unmanned stops all production and sales.

Q. Why are my customers leaving bad reviews even with low prices?

A. Customer satisfaction depends on more than just price. If your installables are spread too far apart or your staff has low skills, wait times will be too long. Customers get annoyed if they stand around waiting for their order.
