how to dispatch howling hill expansion

To dispatch the Howling Hill Expansion mission in Crimson Desert, you need to use the camp management view from the map rather than talking to an NPC or using the quest list.

Quick Scoop: How to Dispatch Howling Hill Expansion

Step‑by‑step walkthrough

  1. Open the map
    • Stand in or near Howling Hill (your camp/base) so you know you’re in the right area.
 * Open the **world map** from the pause/menu screen.
  1. Highlight Howling Hill on the map
    • Move the cursor over the Howling Hill camp icon (make sure the map filter is set to show All locations, not just quests).
 * Zoom in or out until a **bullet point / inspect prompt** appears on the Howling Hill icon.
  1. Use the Inspect / Management view
    • Press the Inspect button shown at the bottom of the screen (Triangle on PlayStation, Y on Xbox, or the equivalent on PC).
 * This opens the **camp / stronghold management** view with tabs at the top like Info, Management, and **Mission List**.
  1. Go to Mission List
    • Tab over to Mission List (usually the 3rd tab).
 * Find and select **“Howling Hill Camp Expansion”** or **“Howling Hill Expansion Mission”** in the list.
  1. Choose who to dispatch
    • Select the required freeswords / comrades for the mission (guides commonly mention sending two, like Luke and Ronald, or any compatible recruits).
 * Confirm by pressing the **Dispatch** button (Square/X on controller, as shown in the UI).
  1. Check provisions and requirements
    • If the mission won’t start, you may be missing resources such as food; early upgrades typically need 2 recruits and around 100 food.
 * Add provisions through the same management interface until the requirement bar fills, then confirm dispatch.
  1. Wait for completion
    • The expansion mission takes several in‑game hours (around 17 in‑game hours is commonly reported).
 * You can **rest in a bed** at camp to skip up to 12 hours, then do side quests while the timer finishes.

Common “stuck” issues and fixes

  • Can’t see the mission at all
    • Make sure you’re in Chapter 3 – Bustling Hill , where the Howling Hill expansion is first required.
* Double‑check you’re highlighting **Howling Hill** , not another camp, and that the **Mission List** tab is selected.
  • “Dispatch” is greyed out
    • You don’t have enough recruits or provisions ; recruit more freeswords and add food/resources until the UI shows requirements met.
  • Not sure if it worked
    • Once dispatched, the mission will show a timer in the management screen; after it expires, interact again to claim rewards and see the expansion applied.
