Pearl Abyss just dropped another surprise Crimson Desert update on May 22 that adds even more pet options to the game. However, the biggest feature in Crimson Desert update 1.08.00 is the new dragon mount system. Players will now be able to tame baby wyverns and register them as pets.

The best part? Pearl Abyss has also revealed that a future update will allow you to grow them and eventually register them as flying mounts. This is major news, as one of the biggest complaints players had was that the dragon mount you get in the story has a massive cooldown every time you use it.

Here is a quick breakdown of the most important things added in the latest patch notes:

Crimson Desert Patch Notes Highlights

  • Added a new dedicated tool slot, allowing equipment like axes, shovels, pickaxes, drills/chainsaws, fans, and more to be equipped separately from secondary weapons.
  • Players can now build Ponds at Howling Hill and Pailune Camp, where fish can be released, bred, and observed in a new pond management mode.
  • Legendary fish are now permanent collectibles that can no longer be sold, discarded, or used.
  • Added 20 new small animal pets, plus a Baby Wyvern that will eventually grow into a mount in a future update.
  • Wild Wyverns can now temporarily be ridden after being subdued.
  • Kliff can now use muskets and shotguns.
  • Damiane and Oongka received a new skill equivalent to “Focused Aerial Roll.”
  • Players can now silence tied-up outlaws.
  • Added blueprints for crafting superior branches using refinement level 10 materials.

Crimson Desert’s New Baby Wyverns Could Fix Dragon Cooldowns

As we mentioned above, the new Crimson Desert Wyvern system still has missing details to it. Currently, we can find a baby Wyvern in the wild and register it as a pet. But we won’t be able to raise it into a dragon and use it as a flying mount until a future update.

However, the biggest question is: will it have a cooldown? Because if it doesn’t, then Crimson Desert will finally fix the dragon cooldown issue many players had. Based on the wording of these latest Crimson Desert patch notes, I assume it won’t have a timer, since it’s a registered mount. However, it might not be as powerful as the dragon you get in the main game.

I would totally be fine with this as a compromise. I think most would just love to have a flying dragon mount that helps them get around the massive Pywell map.
