Silver is the lifeblood of Crimson Desert, but earning it through traditional quests and hunting can be a grueling grind in the early game. If you’re looking to fill your coffers quickly without worrying about every single copper, there is a “guaranteed” method waiting in the Pailune region. Much like The Witcher 3 with Gwent or the poker tables of Red Dead Redemption 2, gambling is your ticket to wealth—specifically the Five-Card mini-game. With our guide, you can rake in hundreds of silver in minutes, even if you don’t know the rules.
Where to Find the Gambling Den in Beighen Village
You can find the Five-Card mini-game in the quaint settlement of Beighen Village, located in the Pailune region, directly north of Hernand City. While the story officially brings you here during Chapter 7: Homecoming, you can venture north and visit the village much earlier. Look for a modest shack where local gamblers gather around a wooden table.
The “Save Scumming” Strategy: Fleecing the NPCs
This method doesn’t rely on your strategic prowess or card-counting skills; it relies on the classic “save and load” tactic (commonly known as save scumming). To make this system work, you’ll need at least 150 silver in your pouch for the initial buy-in.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Manual Save: Before you even sit down at the table, open your menu and create a manual save file.
- Enter the Game: Pay the 150 silver buy-in to join the round.
- Go All-In: As soon as you are dealt your five cards, ignore the rules and immediately select the “All-In” option.
- Watch the Pot: Your bet moves into the prize pool. Now, wait for the NPCs to decide whether to fold or match your bet. Depending on the number of players, a single win can net you between 300 to 400 silver.
Two Possible Outcomes
Depending on the luck of the draw, one of two things will happen:
- If You Win: Collect your massive earnings, leave the table, and save your game immediately. Afterward, rest at the bonfire outside the shack to refresh the NPCs at the table, then repeat the process.
- If You Lose: Don’t panic. Simply quit to the main menu and load your manual save from before the game started. Your 150 silver will be back in your inventory, allowing you to try again until the pot is yours.

Gambling in Beighen Village is currently the most efficient way to get rich in Crimson Desert without the endless grind of killing mobs. While it’s a bit of a “dishonorable” method that exploits the saving mechanics, the high cost of equipment and crafting in Pywel makes this temptation hard to resist. If you’re short on silver for that new sword or armor upgrade, Five-Card is your best bet.
FAQ
Q: What is the minimum silver required to play Five-Card?
A: You need at least 150 silver for the buy-in. If you’re short, try selling some basic crafting materials or loot to a merchant in Hernand first.
Q: Do I need to understand the rules of this card game?
A: Not at all. By using the save scumming method, you can simply go All-In every time. You’ll either win big or just reload and try your luck again.
Q: Where exactly is Beighen Village located?
A: It’s in the Pailune region. If you head straight north from Hernand City, you can’t miss it. It becomes a major location during the “Homecoming” quest in Chapter 7.
Q: Are there other mini-games for earning silver?
A: Yes, you can play a game called Duo in the Hernand region, which works on a similar principle. However, Five-Card in Beighen typically offers higher payouts due to the larger number of cards and players involved.
