Crimson Desert: A Rumor Fueled by Greed Walkthrough

Starting the Quest

The Rumor Fueled by Greed is a Hernand Commission: Tales of the Hernandian Residents. I assume that you get this quest after capturing Ulzok in the Greymanes: Scattered Embers’ Sweet Taste of Bounties questline. But you can gladly correct me if I’m wrong.

Quest description:
“Rumor speaks of a valuable document hidden within the Reventine Monastery. It may be wise to heed those eager for sudden fortune.”

Acquire Information about the Document

Reventine Monastery is in the Demeniss region, just east of Hernand’s Hook Rapids. It’s also where you have to catch a Leopard Perch for the Greymane Alec.

The document is not in the monastery itself but near the house closest to the notice board. There are two men you can eavesdrop on. It will trigger the eavesdropping tutorial. It is essential to get the “Eavesdrop” prompt. I got it by leaning against the nearby wall. Then stay there to eavesdrop until you’ve learned everything needed for the next quest step.

If you’re not getting the eavesdrop prompt here – it happened to me, too – fast-travel to the nearest point to reset the area. Then come back and try again.

Obtain the Document

There is a concealed door in the monastery that looks like a bookshelf.

Walk through the bookshelf to reach the hidden room with a strongbox. Solve the picture puzzle to open it and take the box inside. You need to wear a mask to steal it. There is nothing special about the document. It can be sold for 8.09 silver.
