33 The Balton Mace is a one-handed mace in Crimson Desert. It falls under the one-handed weapons category and offers a slightly higher attack power than its hammer counterpart, the Balton Hammer. With 12 attack power and three core slots, the Balton Mace is a craftable early-game option for players who prefer the stagger-heavy playstyle of blunt weapons.

66 Maces in Crimson Desert swing slower than swords and rapiers, but their strength lies in stunlocking enemies and breaking through defenses. A well-timed mace combo can keep an opponent staggered long enough to deal serious damage without taking a hit in return. This makes maces especially appealing during encounters with heavily armored foes who shrug off lighter strikes.

2727 Refinement at a blacksmith increases the Balton Mace's attack power across ten levels. The first few levels require only Silver and common ores. Higher refinement tiers call for rarer resources like Bloodstone, Scolecite Ore, and Abyss Artifacts. Each level provides a meaningful stat increase, so refining even a starter weapon before a tough fight is worth the investment.

Land the first hit and follow up with a full combo to keep your target locked downAgainst groups, the mace is less forgiving because of its slower swing speed.
