Infinite rare ores?! 💎 The “Fast Travel Glitch” in Crimson Desert is literally breaking the crafting economy and you need to abuse it before it’s patched!

Forget spending hours searching for Brimstone and Bloodstone Ore. Players have discovered a “respawn loop” near the Deadfire Mountain abyss nexus that lets you farm endgame materials in seconds. But the real secret? You’re going to need a specific “Mercury freezing” technique and a Cuckoo Pot to craft the legendary Assyrian Longsword—the undisputed king of two-handed weapons. Why are players gifting gold bars to priests, and does the “100 Trust” trick actually work? 🌋⚔️

The path to the coolest sword in Pywel starts with a mask and a volcano… 👇

A series of major “farming exploits” has been uncovered in Crimson Desert, providing players with an unprecedented surplus of Brimstone and Bloodstone Ore. These materials, essential for high-tier equipment like the Assyrian Longsword, are currently being mass-harvested through a fast-travel respawn loop that has left the game’s crafting economy in a state of flux.

The Deadfire Loop: Infinite Brimstone

The most lucrative discovery involves the area surrounding the Abyss Nexus at Deadfire Mountain, located just right of the King Shield Mountains. Players have identified “Geyser” enemies that drop two to three units of Brimstone upon death.

Normally, these enemies would require a lengthy cooldown to respawn. However, by simply fast-traveling back to the same Nexus immediately after the kill, players are finding that the enemies reset instantly. To survive this farm, the “Brimstone Gas Mask” (found above the Deminis region) has become a mandatory item for high-level grinders.

Bloodstone and the “Lava Farm”

Further south, above the “Eye” in Paloon, a similar infinite respawn point has been found for Bloodstone Ore. Located inside a volcanic caldera, this farm is significantly more dangerous. Even with fire-resistant gear—such as the Kuku Flame-Resistant Armor—the surrounding lava remains an “insta-kill” hazard. Much like the Brimstone farm, fast-traveling back to the local Nexus triggers an immediate node reset, allowing for “Bloodstone runs” that yield hundreds of ores per hour.

The Mercury “Freeze” Technique

While ores are infinite, Mercury remains a rare bottleneck. Community experts have confirmed that Mercury can only be harvested from specific ponds near Deadfire and Silver Wolf Mountain.

The harvesting method is non-traditional: players must use a “frozen ability” to solidify the water. “If you freeze the pond enough, the water eventually disappears, leaving the Mercury behind,” explains one local guide. Unlike the ores, Mercury nodes do not currently respawn through fast-travel, making them one of the most contested “one-time” resources in the game.

The Quest for the Assyrian Longsword

The sudden influx of these materials is driven by a single goal: crafting the Assyrian Longsword. This legendary two-handed weapon requires a complex list of ingredients, including:

Platinum: Created by combining Brimstone, Mercury, and Holy Water at a witch’s cauldron.

Assyrian Scales: Found at the Serpent Shrine (requiring a Cuckoo Pot to transport).

Bismuth Ore & Azerite: Supplementary materials found in the world.

The hunt for Holy Water has led to a bizarre community trend where players gift Gold Bars (crafted from Golden Apples) to priests in major cities. While rumors suggested this might bypass the 10-20 hour shop reset for Holy Water, recent testing suggests the “Trust Gift” method may be a myth, with players still forced to wait for the official vendor restock.

Market Impact

The availability of these “infinite” farms has shifted the focus of the hardcore player base from gathering to optimization. With ores no longer a concern, the debate has moved to which Abyss Gears best complement the Assyrian Longsword’s massive reach.

Pearl Abyss has yet to issue a statement on whether the “Fast Travel Respawn” is an intended feature or a bug. Until a patch is deployed, the slopes of Deadfire Mountain remain the most crowded—and profitable—real estate in all of Pywel.
