Save your game before closing

Apparently, after crafting some stuff yesterday, I closed the game (PC Platform) before it had a chance to auto-save. When I logged back in today, a lot of stuff (including a book that I learned) is all missing. I'd suggest manually saving before closing up for the day.

Crimson Desert Travel Tip

Today I learned that you could press the right-stick to change the map to the Abyss so you can teleport up there even from the very beginning. You don't have to progress to Chapter 5 where you go back up there in the story (yes, there's a story).

This allows you to free-fall to a lot more places on the map without the long horse journey.
