Pearl Abyss rolled out Crimson Desert Update 1.06.00 across all platforms this week, adding a new extraction feature that lets players recover materials used in refinement and broadening the game’s mount system with animals that can now be tamed and summoned. The patch also gives players a Display Sheath option, a Sigil of Valor item for pet dogs, a new claw machine at the Laughing Marionette, and a Night Tone Mode that changes how the game looks at a glance.
The biggest practical change is the extraction system. Special materials such as Artifacts and Aeserion's scale are recovered at 100% of the amount used, while common materials including iron ore, copper ore and bloodstones return about 70%. That matters because Crimson Desert’s crafting and refinement loop has been expensive from the start, and the new system gives players a way to reclaim part of that investment instead of watching it disappear into upgrades.
Players can also tame a wide range of animals and turn them into summonable mounts, including bears, boars, wolves, deer, mountain goats, kuku birds, iguanas, raptors, camels, lions and tigers. Ferocious animals can be subdued and fed, while some species require unique methods to tame them. The update adds another layer to the game’s world-building too, from the Display Sheath toggle to the Sigil of Valor, which makes pet dogs attack enemies when equipped.
There is also a smaller but more telling addition at the Laughing Marionette: a claw machine with rewards that include 12 types of lighting items, one type of chair, one type of special headgear, Abyss Artifacts and Abyss Gears. Night Tone Mode changes the visual profile of the game as well, making overall colors softer and darker with shaded areas slightly brighter when enabled. When it is off, colors become sharper and darker and shaded areas appear slightly darker. Pearl Abyss said the patch also included applied bug fixes and improvements regarding specific bosses, along with fixes for certain quests.
The update lands after Crimson Desert recently added Rematch and Re-blockade features for bosses, continuing a weekly run of post-launch support from Pearl Abyss. That support echoes the company’s long MMO history with Black Desert, which Pearl Abyss PR and marketing director Will Powers said informed how the team is handling Crimson Desert after launch. The patch notes used for this update were provided courtesy of the Crimson Desert website.
For players, the message is clear: Update 1.06.00 is not just maintenance. It gives them more control over resources, more ways to move through the world and a visual mode they can tune to taste, while the studio keeps layering fixes and features into a game that is still being actively reshaped.
