Each refinement level requires specific materials and Silver. The table below shows the stats and material costs at each refinement level.13+The record agrees with Defense 4/Guard Rate 22 at +0 to 29/45 at +10. Initial crafting at a Smith requires 10 Timber and 5 Fine Timber after learning Shields of the World, Vol. I. Named sellers are Nork at Kha Equipment and Tranan at Camp Equipment. The +0 row is the stat baseline, not an additional refinement charge; duplicate shields are not ordinary material inputs to add to every row. The older two-slot report, movement/attack-speed tradeoff and mitigation recommendations remain separate from a tested capacity or universal combat-stat formula.1414LevelDefenseGuard RateMaterials+0422Timber x10, Fine Timber x5+1624Timber x10, Bekker Large Shield x1, Bekker Large Shield x1+2826Timber x15, Bekker Large Shield (+1) x1, Bekker Large Shield (+1) x1+31028Timber x20, Fine Timber x10, Bekker Large Shield (+2) x1, Bekker Large Shield (+2) x1+41230Timber x25, Fine Timber x15, Bekker Large Shield (+3) x1, Bekker Large Shield (+3) x1+51432Timber x30, Fine Timber x20, Bloodstone x1, Abyss Artifact x1, Bekker Large Shield (+4) x1, Bekker Large Shield (+4) x1, Abyss Artifact x1+61634Timber x40, Fine Timber x25, Bloodstone x3, Abyss Artifact x1, Bekker Large Shield (+5) x1, Bekker Large Shield (+5) x1, Abyss Artifact x2+71836Timber x50, Fine Timber x30, Bloodstone x5, Abyss Artifact x1, Bekker Large Shield (+6) x1, Bekker Large Shield (+6) x1, Abyss Artifact x2+82139Timber x60, Fine Timber x35, Bloodstone x8, Flawless Timber x10, Abyss Artifact x1, Bekker Large Shield (+7) x1, Bekker Large Shield (+7) x1, Abyss Artifact x2+92442Timber x80, Fine Timber x45, Bloodstone x12, Flawless Timber x20, Abyss Artifact x1, Bekker Large Shield (+8) x1, Bekker Large Shield (+8) x1, Abyss Artifact x2+102945Aeserion's Scale x1, Abyss Artifact x115+The Bekker Large Shield can be refined at a Blacksmith to increase its recorded stats.

Cores can be socketed or removed at no cost through a witch NPC, making it easy to experiment with different setups.20+The older report gives the Bekker Large Shield 2 Abyss Core slots, which is not independently established as its maximum capacity by the matched record. Extraction through a witch is free; creating additional sockets costs currency. Keep those operations separate rather than treating every socket operation as free.1921Fortification I (Defense +3): Adds flat defense, strengthening overall damage absorption for sustained blocking.Aegis I (Damage Reduction 1.0): Provides flat damage reduction per hit, stacking with the shield's defense for stronger overall mitigation.Fortitude I (Guard Stamina Consumption -3.0%): Reduces stamina cost of blocking, letting you hold your guard longer through multi-hit combos.2123Combat Usage2325As a large shield, the Bekker Large Shield offers higher Guard Rate and Defense compared to standard shields, at the cost of slower movement and attack speed while equipped. Large shields excel at sustained blocking and protecting against heavy hits, making them well suited for players who prefer a defensive, counter-attack playstyle.2527With a base Guard Rate of 22 (scaling to 45 at max refinement) and Defense of 4 (up to 29), this shield can absorb a meaningful amount of incoming damage. Players should focus on timing their blocks to trigger Guard Counter attacks, which open up strong follow-up damage windows.2729See Also2931Shields - Complete list of all shields in Crimson DesertEquipment - Overview of all gear typesAbyss Cores - Socket gems that modify shield statsBlacksmith - Where to refine shields and other gear
