Crimson Desert Patch 1.16 Overhauls Trading
Pearl Abyss released Crimson Desert Patch 1.16.00 on August 1, 2026 at 03:30 UTC. The update expands trading and banking while adding PC graphics support and stability fixes.
News summary
Version 1.16.00 rebuilds Crimson Desert’s trading loop with 133 additional posts and 28 new trade goods.
Seven wagon workshops now work as intermediate stops where goods can be packaged and loaded.
A map Trade tab displays routes, stock, quantities and market prices for merchants across Pywel.
The PC build adds FSR Upscaling 4.1 support for Radeon RX 7000 Series GPUs.
Update overview
Pearl Abyss changed prices to react when too many goods are sold at one location and increased overall trading profits. Royal trading posts now pay four times the previous prices for trade goods.
Players can transfer goods between a wagon and horse, sell a single item instead of a full bundle and stack packaged goods in groups of 10 or 100 depending on value.
The new Claim Bank Strongbox feature opens investment after at least 10 bonds are deposited. Bonds exchange for 10 Gold Bars and can also buy rare items through the Bond Shop.
The patch includes quest, combat, control and crash fixes while rolling out on every listed platform except the Mac App Store, where deployment remained in progress.
