Most players get their skill tree wrong early in Crimson Desert. There’s nothing wrong with that, and it is common because you don’t really know what to go for yet.
Luckily, there’s a way to respec your skill tree in Crimson Desert, and here’s a quick guide showing you how to do it.
How to Get Faded Abyss Artifacts and Reset Skills in Crimson Desert
To reset your skill tree, open the in-game menu and go to the “Skills” tab. On the lower right corner of your screen, you’ll see a “Reset All” button. Select it to reset all your skills. It doesn’t matter which skill tree, weapon, or character you are hovering, everything will reset when you press “Reset All.”
However, resetting skills isn’t free. Each reset consumes a Faded Abyss Artifact, and you get one early from doing the main quests. Afterward, it’ll take a while to get another Faded Abyss Artifact, so be careful what skills you spec into.
When you reach Chapter 4, you’ll eventually learn a recipe (from a research project) that allows you to craft Faded Abyss Artifacts using the Witch’s Cauldron. Faded Abyss Artifacts require one Abyss Cell and two Mercury to craft.
So far, crafting Faded Abyss Artifacts is the best way to reset your skills efficiently, but it’ll take a while before you reach Chapter 4. There are some Faded Abyss Artifact rewards beforehand, so there are plenty of opportunities to reset your skill tree.
If you aren’t sure what skills to use, I suggest manually saving the game before resetting your skills. Apply and test your planned skill build and see if it is to your liking before committing to it completely.
