PROGRESSION OVERHAUL

Progression Overhaul speeds up several of Crimson Desert’s slower progression systems without changing rewards, stats, quests, or story progression.

Instead of increasing the amount of XP you receive, the mod lowers the XP required for each sub-level. This keeps the original progression system intact while letting you choose how much grind you want to remove.

Tested on Crimson Desert 2. 02. 00 / 1. 0. 0. 2850.

Features

Faster Skill Point Progression

Choose between:

2x / 3x / 5x / 10x

This affects the Skill Point sub-level progression for Kliff, Oongka and Damian, along with the Ore, Plant, Log and Machine drop-increase sub-levels.

This does not multiply Skill Point rewards. It lowers the XP requirement for the affected sub-levels.

Faster Faction Contribution

Speeds up Contribution progression across all factions.

Available options:

2x / 3x / 5x / 10x

The amount of Contribution you receive is unchanged — the XP requirement for each Contribution level is reduced instead.

Faster Religion Progression

Speeds up Religion progression for:

Hernand

Demenissian

Delesyian

Available in:

2x / 3x / 5x / 10x

Optional Level Cap 999

An optional experimental module raises the affected sub-level caps from 100 to 999.

This includes Skill Point, Contribution and Religion sub-levels.

It only increases the level ceiling and does not make progression faster.

This option is experimental and is not included in any preset.

---

Presets

If you do not want to configure everything manually, use one of the included presets.

Balanced — Recommended

2x Skill Point progression

2x Contribution progression

2x Religion progression

Fast

5x progression across all three systems.

No Grind

10x progression across all three systems.

There is no hidden multiplier stacking. If you use the 5x preset, the effective progression speed is 5x.

---

Modular Version

The Modular package lets you choose each progression system separately.

For example, you can run:

Skill Points x5 + Contribution x2 + Religion x10

or any other combination you prefer.

Only enable one multiplier from each category at a time.

The optional Level Cap 999 module can be added separately.

---

Downloads

Balanced Package

Recommended if you just want to install the mod and play.

Includes the 2x Balanced preset in a single mod file.

Modular Package

For players who want full control.

Includes all:

2x / 3x / 5x / 10x variants for Skill Points, Contribution and Religion, plus the optional experimental Level Cap 999 module.

---

How the Multipliers Work

The multiplier represents how much faster the affected progression becomes.

For example:

2x = 50% of the original XP requirement

5x = 20% of the original XP requirement

10x = 10% of the original XP requirement

XP gain itself is not modified.

---

Installation

Requires CD JSON Mod Manager / DMM or another compatible JSON mod manager with offset-patch support.

• []Extract the downloaded archive into your mod manager's

  modsfolder. [/]

---

Uninstallation

Disable or remove the mod files from the mod manager and unmount/apply the changes.

The mod only changes game data and does not modify your executable.

---

Compatibility

Progression Overhaul may conflict with other mods that change:

Skill Point sub-level progression, Faction Contribution, Religion progression, or sub-level caps.

Do not enable multiple variants from the same category at the same time.

---

What This Mod Does Not Change

Quest or story progression is untouched.
