At Digital Tech Explorer, we are committed to helping you navigate the complex worlds of the latest gaming releases. In Crimson Desert, the sheer scale of the world can sometimes leave players scratching their heads over specific mechanics. One such hurdle is figuring out how to dispatch the Howling Hill expansion. Whether you are playing with a controller or the precision of a mouse and keyboard, the Freesword dispatch system is a vital mechanic you must master to progress through the “Bustling Hill” quest in Chapter 3. I’m TechTalesLeo, and today I’m breaking down this process to ensure your camp becomes the thriving hub your mercenary company deserves. Crimson Desert Howling Hill expansion - Tent

Resource Requirements

Before you can send your Freeswords out to conquer new territory, you need to ensure your logistical coffers are full. The Howling Hill project requires a specific investment. You can monitor these levels in the top-right corner of your camp interface.
Resource Type Amount Required How to Acquire
Camp Food 100 Units Speak to Carl in camp to donate food items.
Camp Funds 250 Silver Donate currency or trade goods to Carl.

Step-by-Step Dispatch Guide

If you find the interface a bit cluttered, follow these exact steps to initiate the mission:
  1. Open your World Map: Press the designated map key for your platform.
  2. Locate Howling Hill: Move your cursor over the Howling Hill icon. Double-click if using a mouse, or press ‘Y’ on a controller to inspect the node.
  3. Access the Missions Tab: Navigate to the “Missions” section within the node menu and select the “Howling Hill Camp Expansion” task.
  4. Assign Freeswords: Choose your available mercenaries from the list. Once your squad is selected, confirm the dispatch.

Managing the Expansion and Future Projects

Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is Howling Hill. This expansion takes time. You have two choices: you can manually pass time for 12 hours via the camp menu, or you can head back out into the world to tackle side quests and exploration while your Freeswords do the heavy lifting. Mastering this dispatch method is more than just a quest requirement; it is the foundation for your late-game economy. These mechanics allow you to eventually build a ranch, establish a farm, or construct a trade wagon once you progress through the Greymane questline. While you will eventually meet Ross, who acts as a dedicated coordinator, remember that you can always use the map interface to manage your empire from anywhere in the world.
