I ducked under a rain-streaked awning and read the poster twice—Prox’s handwriting looked rushed, the pay looked tempting. You can feel the game tilt into a choice: hand off fakes and pick up favor, or walk away and keep your conscience clean. I stayed; that split-second decision matters more than you think.
I’ll guide you straight to the NPC, the marker, and the exact steps to finish Crimson Desert’s Prox’s Request without wandering in loops. I play these faction threads for the small, steady gains—inventory space, trust points, and a story you can use later in Hernand.

First, a straight fact: Prox’s Request only appears after you finish all Chapter 4 quests. If you haven’t passed that checkpoint, the poster won’t show. I mention that because I wasted time circling Hernand once—don’t repeat my detour.
How do I start Prox’s Request in Crimson Desert?
You start at Hernand’s notice board. Scan the posters; Prox is a goblin merchant, and his post reads like a quick trade favor. Accept the job and the map will pin a camp northeast of Hernand—between Three Saints’ Fall and Rocca’s Hill. Use the nearby Abyss Point if you want to fast-travel there and skip the road fights.
The request itself is simple: meet Prox and agree to pass some counterfeit goods to a contact at a Goldleaf Merchant camp. The dialogue is short. Choose the affirmative options and the quest marker will move on you.
Where is the Goldleaf Trading Post for Prox’s Request?
The map marker drops you at the Goldleaf camp south of Hernand. You’ll find crates, carts, and a goblin in green robes standing by a stack of goods. I approached with my weapon sheathed; no combat triggers here unless you start trouble. Talk to that goblin, let the exchange dialogue run, and the quest ends there.
The favor is a slender bridge between mercantile grifters and honest trade. That’s why the moment feels slightly illicit even though the game treats it as a civic favor.
What rewards do I get from Prox’s Request?
The payout is small but practical: a Cloth Piece and three Inventory Expansion Slots. You also gain +50 Prox’s Trust and +50 Hernandian Contribution—useful for future faction posters and merchant interactions. I treat these tiny returns like seed money; they compound into bigger opportunities later, especially on Steam, PlayStation, or Xbox saves where economy matters.
- One Cloth Piece
- Three Inventory Expansion Slots
- +50 Prox’s Trust
- +50 Hernandian Contribution
If you play on PC via Steam or on consoles, Pearl Abyss’ faction system behaves the same; this quest won’t change between platforms. Developers and community guides (including outlets like Moyens I/O) all point to the same marker and the same green-robed goblin, so you can cross-check if you want.
The rewards are a pocketwatch, small but ticking with value—those extra slots and trust points ripple out into easier management and more lucrative posters down the line.
So: you can skip the petty trade and keep a clear conscience, or hand over the counterfeit and let Hernand’s quiet economy turn in your favor—will you take the trade and claim Prox’s reward or pass and let someone else profit?
