First, we need to head to the special festival area.

  • Location: To the right of the town of Hernand.
  • Landmark on the map: Dminis location, directly below the letter “E” on the global map.

This is where the festival takes place, bringing together special NPCs wearing rabbit masks. They will be our main target.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Steal Gold Bars from NPCs

For the farm to be effective, follow these simple instructions:

  1. Enable “blind” mode. This special vision will allow you to search NPCs’ pockets.
  2. Find the right target. Look for NPCs in the crowd of rabbits that have a gold bar icon glowing above them. Ignore NPCs with regular pouches—that loot isn’t worth your time.
  3. Hide your weapon. This is essential to avoid provoking unnecessary aggression before you start stealing.
  4. Perform the theft. Approach the NPC with the ingot, nudge them, and quickly press the interaction button (E).
  5. Run away! As soon as you have the ingot, immediately flee the red zone so the guards don’t catch you and issue a fine.

Solving Common Farming Problems

Sometimes the system may malfunction. Here’s how to deal with it:

  • Junk instead of gold: It happens. The icon showed gold, but junk dropped into your inventory. Just run away from the NPC, come back, and try to rob them again. On your second or third try, you’re guaranteed to get your gold bar.
  • The NPC doesn’t have any gold bars: If you’ve scanned the entire crowd and haven’t found a single bar, leave the location. Walk a short distance away and come back—this will cause the NPC to respawn (refresh), and the gold will reappear.

How to Clear a Theft Penalty in Crimson Desert

If you’ve been caught by the guards or your wanted level has become too high due to frequent robberies, you’ll need to clear your reputation. To do this, head back to the town of Hernand and find the local church. There, you can “atone for your sins” and clear all penalties so you can continue playing without worry.

Where is the best place to sell gold bars?

Important rule: Never sell the gold you’ve mined to regular merchants! You’ll lose a huge chunk of your profit.

To get the most out of it:

  1. Return to Hernand.
  2. Find the bank building.
  3. Approach the special bank NPC.
  4. Exchange your gold bars for silver at the best rate.
