Equipment in Crimson Desert includes armor with a rarity system. Players can acquire, upgrade, and customize gear throughout their journey across Pywel.
Equipment System
There is gear to loot and equipable items with a rarity system. Higher rarity equipment provides better stats and potentially unique effects.
Each character has their own gear considerations, affecting both combat effectiveness and visual appearance.
Special Attire
Hernandian Banquet Attire - Elegant clothing used during the Hernand Castle infiltration. This outfit allows Kliff to disguise himself and walk past guards unnoticed, demonstrating that not all equipment is purely combat-focused.
Outfit changes can serve tactical purposes beyond stat bonuses.
Pre-Order Equipment
Khaled Shield - Pre-order bonus available with all editions
Grotevant Plate Set (PS5 Exclusive) - Includes Helm, Armor, Cloak, Gloves, and Boots
Deluxe Pack - Balgran Shield, Exclaire Horse Tack Set, Kairos Plate Set
Ultimate Pack (Collector's Edition) - Tormented Soul Bow, Derictus Spear, Sielos Longsword, Shroud Lantern, Hyperion Horse Tack Set
Boss Rewards
After defeating a boss, not only can Kliff take the weapons they were using, he can also learn to use their moves. This creates direct incentive to engage with challenging boss encounters.
Boss-dropped equipment likely represents some of the most powerful gear available.
