  • Important: If Yann is part of the quest, make sure he boards the wagon AFTER you buy the pepper, not before.

Step 5: Travel to Demeniss Branch

Ride your wagon approximately 2000 meters to the Demeniss trade outpost.

Watch out for:

  • Hostile patrols that can knock NPCs off the wagon.

  • Bounties — if you have one, you won’t be able to trade (pay it off at a church first).

Step 6: Sell the Pepper to Zargon

  • Hop off the wagon at Demeniss.

Critical Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don’t talk to Yann before buying pepper — he must board the wagon after you purchase it, or the quest won’t complete properly.

  • Don’t sell fewer than 25 items — the trade post requires a minimum of 25 items per transaction.

  • Watch out for bounties — if you have an active bounty, you can’t trade; pay it off at a church in Hernand first.

  • Protect Yann from hostile patrols — if he gets knocked off, the mission fails and you must retrieve him.

  • Check which items each tradepost buys — not all posts accept all goods; verify Demeniss buys black pepper.

A Sack of Pepper is the perfect entry-level trade quest in Crimson Desert, teaching you the core economic loop while earning instant profit.
