Stamina management is one of the core elements in Crimson Desert, and the very first thing that prevents you from reaching high-altitude locations. While the game pushes you to upgrade Stamina first to solve this, there's a trick to gain height without consuming Stamina which uses one of the game's mechanics as a workaround, similar to a storage trick rendered obsolete by game version 1.00.03.

The Precision Jump Trick
The core of this trick relies on Precision Jump, a mechanic that allows for static, targeted hops. Crucially, this move does not consume stamina in the same way traditional "leaping" while climbing does.
How to Perform the Trick
- Start climbing consuming how much Stamina you prefer
- Stop moving and hold the wall.
- Hold L1 (PlayStation) / LB (Xbox) to aim and then press Square (PlayStation) ( X (Xbox) to use Precision Jump.
- After jumping, you must press and hold the Left Stick towards the wall, otherwise your character will fall back down.
- As the jump was initiated from a static state, it doesn't count as a regular climb-jump, and no stamina will be consumed.
After using a Precision Jump, you can also use Aerial Force Palm with Kliff (one of the skills you should learn as quickly as possible) or the equivalent skill for the other characters to propel further in the air. However, unless you are reaching a location where you can stand, you will likely have to use Fly to grab onto the wall, due to how the skill has no momentum whatsoever.
