Overview
Accessories in Crimson Desert are a category of Equipment that provide supplementary stat bonuses beyond what Weapons and Armor offer. Accessories include rings, necklaces, and earrings, each occupying a dedicated gear slot on the character. They grant bonuses such as increased Attack, Defense, and Movement Speed, making them an important part of any build.
Like weapons and armor, accessories can be upgraded through the Refinement system at a Smithy. Each accessory supports up to 10 refinement levels, and upgrading does not cost any currency; it only requires the appropriate crafting materials. Jewelry refinement materials come primarily from hides and bones obtained by hunting animals in the wild.
Accessory Types
There are three types of accessories that players can equip on Kliff:
Rings provide Attack bonuses, boosting offensive damage output.
Necklaces provide Attack bonuses, complementing rings for additional offensive power.
Earrings provide Defense bonuses and, in some cases, secondary effects like increased Movement Speed.
Players can equip one accessory in each slot simultaneously. Combining the right accessories with the appropriate weapon and armor setup is key to optimizing a character's effectiveness in combat.
Earrings
Earrings primarily boost Defense and may carry additional passive effects. The table below lists all known earrings in the game.
Earring | Defense | Special Effect | Description | Sell Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Engraved Gold Earring | +1 | Movement Speed Lv.1 | An engraved gold earring featuring exquisite jewelcraft and ancient patterns. A subtle radiance flows along the surface contours, both mystical and captivating. | 4.26 |
Oath of Darkness | +2 | None | An earring proving the status of a deacon within Antumbra's followers. It is imbued with a vow's incantation to lure others into the shadows and bind them to eternal darkness. | 4.26 |
Engraved Silver Earring | +1 | None | An engraved silver earring featuring exquisite jewelcraft and ancient patterns. A subtle radiance flows along the surface contours. | Unknown |
Engraved Copper Earring | Unknown | None | An engraved copper earring featuring exquisite jewelcraft and ancient patterns. A subtle radiance flows along the surface contours. | Unknown |
Rings
Rings boost the wearer's Attack stat. They range from basic early-game pieces to items of political significance within the world of Pywel.
Ring | Attack | Description | Sell Price |
|---|---|---|---|
Hernandian Signet | +2 | A ring-shaped seal symbolizing Hernand. Possession is granted exclusively to those of high standing or those who have made significant contributions. Custom dictates that respect be shown to anyone bearing this signet. | 65 |
Tarnished Ring | +1 | A crude ring made from raw, low-grade gemstones. Poor craftsmanship leaves it with a rough surface and a dull luster. | 1.93 |
The Hernandian Signet is connected to the city of Hernand and is classified as a Contribution Good, suggesting it may be obtained through story quests or reputation milestones rather than standard loot drops.
Necklaces
Necklaces provide Attack bonuses similar to rings. Only one necklace has been documented so far.
Necklace | Attack | Description | Sell Price |
|---|---|---|---|
Tarnished Necklace | +1 | A necklace dulled by years of wear. Though its original luster has faded, it bears the weight of time, passed through the hands of countless owners. | 1 |
Refinement
All accessories support the Refinement upgrade system, with a maximum of 10 refinement levels per item. Upgrading accessories works the same way as upgrading weapons and armor: visit any Smithy and select the item to view its Refinement Information. The process does not require any currency; only the listed materials are consumed.
Refinement materials for jewelry come from hunting animals. Players need hides and bones, which are obtained by defeating animals in the wild and skinning them. This makes Hunting a key activity for anyone looking to maximize their accessory stats.
Tips
Accessories provide smaller stat gains than weapons or armor, but those bonuses stack and can make a meaningful difference in tough fights against Bosses.
The Engraved Gold Earring's Movement Speed bonus is especially useful for players who favor a mobile combat style, allowing faster repositioning during encounters.
Check Equipment Vendors in towns across Pywel for accessory stock, as different merchants carry different items.
Keep an eye out for accessories dropped by Enemies and Bosses, as some unique pieces may only be available through combat loot.
Prioritize refining accessories that align with your playstyle. Offensive builds benefit most from ring and necklace refinement, while defensive or evasion-focused builds should focus on earrings.
