Find the Anvil and Grindstone blueprints in Crimson Desert by shopping in Tomassa and your upgraded camp, then craft both stations with Fine Timber at the hidden furniture shop workstation.
Buy the Anvil blueprint at the equipment shop in the Tomassa region (and grab the Grindstone, Anvil and other blueprints from your camp’s provisioner shop once your camp is upgraded), then craft both at the well-hidden workstation sitting beside any furniture shop using Fine Timber.
The Anvil and Grindstone are two of the more useful crafting stations you can set up in Crimson Desert, but the game does a poor job of telling you where to find their blueprints or where to actually build them. The blueprints come from two different spots, and the workstation that turns them into real furniture is tucked away in a place most players walk straight past. Here’s where to get everything and how to put it together.
Where the Anvil and Grindstone blueprints come from
| Item | Where to get the blueprint | Where to craft it |
|---|---|---|
| Anvil | Tomassa equipment shop, or the camp provisioner shop | Workstation beside any furniture shop |
| Grindstone | Camp provisioner shop (after camp upgrade) | The same furniture-shop workstation |
There are two reliable ways to pick up these blueprints. The first is the equipment shop in the Tomassa region, up and to the northeast on your map — search the map for the equipment shop marker, fast-travel in, and you can buy the Anvil blueprint there alongside a handful of other items worth browsing while you’re standing at the counter.
The second, and the better one if your camp is upgraded, is the provisioner shop back at camp. This vendor stocks several blueprints at once — you’ll see the Grindstone, the Anvil, the Field Pot and the Bonfire all on offer. It’s well worth grabbing the whole set in one trip, but the Grindstone and Anvil are the two you came for. Reading a blueprint only unlocks the recipe; you still have to build the item at a workstation afterward.

If you haven’t unlocked much yet, the closest one is over by Dreary Side Hernan. Head to the timber camp sawmill there, where you’ll find a furniture shop; talk to the owner, then turn to the other shed just beside it and interact to open the crafting menu. At your own camp it’s even simpler — the workstation sits just to the right of the furniture shop vendor. They’re deliberately sneaky in where they’re placed, but once you know to check beside the furniture NPC, you’ll spot them every time.
Stop hunting the map for the workstation — it’s a plain, ordinary-looking shed right beside the furniture vendor. Walk straight up to it and interact.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly is the Anvil blueprint in Crimson Desert?
The Anvil blueprint is sold at the equipment shop in the Tomassa region (northeast on the map). If your camp is upgraded, you can also pick it up from the provisioner shop at camp. Community reports of an anvil sitting in front of a grocer or not showing on the map appear to be camp- or region-dependent, so trust the Tomassa equipment shop and your provisioner first.
Where do I craft the Anvil and Grindstone?
At a workstation, which sits near any furniture shop. Reading the blueprint only unlocks the recipe — you build the actual item by walking up to the workstation and interacting with it. The one at your camp is just to the right of the furniture vendor.
Why can’t I find the workstation — is it hidden?
Effectively, yes. The workstation is a plain shed that looks like any other building and doesn’t stand out on the map, so it’s easy to overlook. Don’t search the map for it — find the furniture NPC and check the structure immediately beside them.
What materials do I need to craft them?
Both require a lot of Fine Timber, gathered from the lake region. No exact quantity is confirmed, so gather a healthy surplus before you head to the workstation.
Can I place the Anvil and Grindstone at my house?
Yes. The update added the ability to set items down outside your house, so the easiest setup is to drop both right by your front door for quick access whenever you need them.
