What to know
- The Demenissian Chainsaw is a rare logging tool designed for high-efficiency timber farming in Crimson Desert.
- You must complete two research projects before the crafting recipe becomes available.
- Crafting requires the Steel Spike Armory in Delesyia along with an engineer-type team member.
- The chainsaw provides automatic timber collection and bonus wood drops, making it one of the best quality-of-life gathering tools currently available.
The Demenissian Chainsaw has quickly become one of the most valuable utility tools in Crimson Desert for players focused on resource gathering and settlement progression. While standard axes work well early on, the chainsaw completely changes how logging feels by automating timber collection and drastically reducing the time needed to cut down trees. If you spend a lot of time farming wood for crafting, construction, or trade, unlocking this tool is absolutely worth the investment.

Locations involved in unlocking the chainsaw
The full crafting process takes place across multiple important locations in Crimson Desert. The first step begins at the Rustfield Scrapyard in Delesyia, where players unlock the initial Energy Conversion Technology research.
After that, the second research project becomes available at Dewhaven Keep, where Electricity Movement Conversion must be completed. Once both research stages are finished, the final crafting process happens at the Steel Spike Armory in Delesyia, where the chainsaw is manufactured using assigned workers.
How to craft the Demenissian Chainsaw
Step 1
Travel to the Rustfield Scrapyard in Delesyia and begin the Energy Conversion Technology research project to unlock the industrial research chain required for advanced tools.
Step 2
Once the first research finishes, head to Dewhaven Keep and start the Electricity Movement Conversion research. This stage takes approximately 6 hours to complete.
Step 3
After both research projects are finished, travel to the Steel Spike Armory in Delesyia and open the production menu.
Step 4
Select the Demenissian Chainsaw recipe and assign two team members to the production process.
Step 5
Make sure that at least one assigned worker has the Engineer role, otherwise the crafting process cannot begin.
Step 6
Confirm the production order and wait for the crafting timer to finish. The manufacturing process takes roughly 4 hours.
Step 7
After completion, retrieve the Demenissian Chainsaw from your Private Stash and equip it from the secondary weapon tab to begin high-speed logging.

How the chainsaw works during logging
The chainsaw functions differently from traditional gathering tools. Instead of repeated swings, the saw continuously cuts while the attack button is held. This allows players to maintain constant pressure against trees for faster harvesting.
To use it effectively:
| Action | Result |
|---|---|
| Hold Attack | Continuous cutting |
| Aim at Tree | Begins logging |
| Keep Pressure Applied | Faster tree destruction |
| Tree Falls | Timber auto-collected |
Because timber is collected automatically, you can move immediately to the next tree without stopping to loot materials manually.
Should you prioritize unlocking the chainsaw early?
If your progression heavily relies on settlement upgrades, crafting stations, construction projects, or trading timber resources, then unlocking the chainsaw early is highly recommended. The initial research timers may seem long, but the long-term efficiency gain easily justifies the investment.
Players focused on industrial progression or large-scale crafting will benefit the most, especially once timber demand increases in the mid-to-late game economy.
The Demenissian Chainsaw is currently one of the strongest quality-of-life tools available in Crimson Desert. Its fast cutting speed, automatic timber collection, and bonus wood generation make it far superior to standard axes for dedicated resource farming. Although unlocking it requires multiple research stages and a lengthy crafting process, the payoff is substantial for any player planning long-term settlement or crafting progression.
