Crimson Desert All Research Institute Locations

Research Institutes are special NPCs in Crimson Desert where you can pay money to conduct research projects that give you permanent passive benefits. For example, some of these grant automatically replenishing ammo (arrows, bullets), or you gain more materials. These can be quite costly, also see How to Get Money Fast, and once a resarch is started it will take many hours in-game time to complete. You can speed up the research by resting at a bed or campfire or cooking pot. If the first research is blocked, listen to the researcher’s request and complete it.
