33 Cloth Armor of the World Vol. I is a crafting manual in Crimson Desert that unlocks recipes for lightweight cloth armor pieces at any blacksmith. Cloth armor is one of two main armor families in the game (the other being plate armor). Where plate armor trades mobility for raw defense, cloth armor offers lower defense values but provides Ice Resistance and allows faster movement, dodge recovery, and lighter stamina consumption.
