The developers of Crimson Desert have rolled out patch 1.04.00, and this is a real gift for those who have time to yearn for order in an ever-clogged backpack. The main innovation is a chest for collectibles. This thing allows you to upload all the drawings and key loot to one place, which previously just took up space. If your inventory is bursting at the seams, this guide will help you quickly get back on track.

How do I unlock the “Early Meeting” quest and pick up the chest?
A Collector’s Chest is given as a reward for completing the “Early Meeting” faction quest (category “Hernand’s Requests”). But there is a caveat — the quest will not appear in the list of available ones just like that.
First, you’ll have to work on the tasks of the Roberts faction. Only after closing a certain chain with them, you will be able to take the necessary contract. The “Early Meeting” quest itself is waiting for you at the Timpburn Wheeler — look for it strictly north of the Nas River.

Step-by-step action plan:
-
Accept the assignment and move to the Timberham Sawmill. It is located southwest of the city of Hernand.
-
Find a noble there. After a short dialogue, he will give you the coveted item.
-
There is an extensive 1000-cell storage available inside the chest. This is enough to forget about overloading for a very long time (or forever).

How to install and use a chest in Crimson Desert?
Getting the box is only half the battle. To make it work, it must be appropriately placed in your camp on Wolf Hill (the location opens after Chapter 3, look for it east of the cliff).
Enter your home and open the Options menu (or the Start button) to switch to construction mode. Tap “Square” on PS or “X” on Xbox, select a chest from the furniture list and decide where to place it. Once you exit edit mode, you can interact with the object.

What can be stored in the chest:
-
Key quest items and new clues.
-
Blueprints and recipes (the heaviest ballast in the game).
-
Items for future assignments.
By the way, patch 1.04.00 was brought not only by this trunk. If you plan to equip your life to the fullest, we also advise you to get a refrigerator for food and a special cabinet where your outfits will be stored. Living in the world of Crimson Desert has become a little more comfortable.
