crimson desert how to pay fine
To pay a fine in Crimson Desert, you need to clear your bounty/fine through a church confessional using a Writ of Absolution.
How to pay your fine (step‑by‑step)
- Go to any church
- Open your map and look for a church icon in any settlement in Pywel.
* In some guides and videos, the confessional has its own small icon once you’ve discovered it.
- Find the Confessional NPC / vendor
- Inside the church there’s a confessional vendor you can interact with (often marked similarly to a shop).
* Walk up and start a conversation/trade with them like you would with any normal merchant.
- Choose “Buy Writ of Absolution”
- In the vendor menu, select the option to “Buy Writ of Absolution.”
* This opens a list of all active fines and bounties you currently have across different regions.
- Select the fine/bounty you want to clear
- You’ll see the amount you owe; pick the entries you want to pay off.
* Confirm the purchase and the amount will be deducted from your money, instantly clearing that region’s wanted status.
- Check your map / wanted status
- After paying, the red “wanted” or crime highlight around the affected area disappears.
* Guards should stop attacking you there, as your name is considered clean again.
What if you don’t or can’t pay?
- Let guards arrest you
- If you get tackled and taken to jail, your debt will still be cleared after serving time, but you may lose money and wake up with emptier pockets.
* If your bounty is higher than your current funds, your money counter can go into red, meaning you’ve now got a debt you must repay later.
- Run away from minor crimes
- For small offenses like pickpocketing or minor vandalism, sprinting out of the red crime zone and hiding until the alert drops makes you just eat a small fine automatically.
* You still lose some faction contribution, even if you avoid a full arrest.
