11Overview22Elegant Carmine Leather Armor is a Mythical Leather Armor body armor piece in Crimson Desert. A formal leather armor designed to maintain elegance even in the most prestigious places. Gold ornaments and deep crimson lines overlap against black fabric to create a striking contrast, while the waist belt ensures a sharp, refined silhouette. Metal reinforcement at the shoulders and added leather padding protect vital points without slowing down movement.66Stats88StatValueGradeMythicalArmor TypeLeather ArmorSlotBodyDefense5Price1,740 Silver1010Refinement1111At Refinement Level 0, this item provides the following stats:1313StatValueDefense31515Higher refinement levels increase these stats further.

The blueprint itself is quick to locate once the jungle ruins are accessible, but the real time investment is in farming the hides and ores needed to forge each piece. All four parts of the set share the same material pool, so a single farming pass covers every slot.3232Blueprint Location3434The blueprint is stashed in the jungle ruins on the far right side of the map. Fast travel to the nearest unlock point (the puzzle-gated one nearby can be skipped), then climb and traverse the ruin perimeter until the map marker matches the pickup point. From the ledge, drop down to a gap in the wall, use Focus Force Palm on the rubble, and the blueprint sits in the cleared alcove inside.3636After picking it up, open the inventory, select the blueprint, and examine the first page to register the recipe. The set can then be crafted at any smithy, including the one in Hernand.3838Per-Piece Craft Cost4040The crafting total for the full set, as shown at the smithy, uses the following base components per piece:4242Thin Hide: 10Thick Hide: 5Sturdy Hide: 2Gold Ore: 2Garnet: 24444Farming Thin Hide4646Thin hide drops from deer calves and young deer. The most reliable spot is just outside Hernand near the A marker on the map. Calves spawn in the open field next to the fast travel point around 80 percent of the time. Kill the pack, fast travel back to the point, and the area reloads with a fresh spawn. Harvested bodies can also yield long-hair hide as a side drop.4848Farming Thick Hide5050Thick hide comes from large beasts such as rhinos and elephants. A dependable farm sits at the fast travel point just above the sea north of Hernand, near Crimson Desert. Between one and three rhinos spawn directly in front of the point. They take time to bring down, but the proximity of the fast travel marker makes resets fast. Only a handful of hides are required for the full set.5252Farming Sturdy Hide5454Sturdy hide drops from crocodiles and large lizards. The best route also begins near Crimson Desert, at a fast travel point with a short loop past several spawn nodes. Between three and seven lizards can spawn along the path, marked as small red blips on the mini map.5656Lizard farming route:5858From the fast travel point, check the rock directly ahead. A lizard spawns on the left, right, or back of it.Continue forward to the next rock; one or two lizards often spawn here simultaneously.Follow the bushes and trees down toward the water, then take a sharp right at the shoreline. A lizard usually waits along this bank.Cross toward the pink bush across the water for another spawn.Loop back toward the original rock, checking the tree line and an outside spot along the way.Fast travel back to the marker to reset and repeat the loop.6060Spawns are random, so a run might yield two lizards or closer to seven. Equipping skinning bonuses (better daggers, hide-yield gear) improves the haul per kill.6262Farming Garnet6464Garnet and most other gems can be farmed at the premier ore site on the far right edge of the map, which contains roughly four garnet veins along with a variety of other minerals. The node refreshes once every seven in-game days, so one well-timed visit is usually enough for the entire set.6666Equipping the Mining Knuckle Drill boosts the yield. The drill is rewarded for completing the first step of House Roberts's quest line, A State in Dismay, which also hands over the Gold Vein Map.6868Farming Gold Ore7070For early-game players, Anvil Hill Cave is the most efficient gold farm. Drop into the cave, sweep the veins, and a single harvest with any pickaxe is usually enough to cover the gold ore needed for the full set. The Mining Knuckle Drill increases each node's output, so pairing the cave trip with the drill can cover multiple crafts in one seven-day cycle.7272Finishing Touches7474The set ships in black as its default color. Dyes unlock additional looks: the set is commonly recolored to white and red for a cleaner, more ceremonial appearance. Dyes can be crafted at a cauldron placed in a player home or used at the shared cauldron in Hernand, making it easy to retint each piece after the set is equipped.7676Fit and Silhouette7878The chest piece is the centerpiece of the Damian-inspired look, with a short skirt that most players associate with the outfit's profile. It pairs naturally with the matching cloak, gloves, and helm, so crafting it first gives an early preview of how the dye will read across the rest of the set.8080Jungle Ruins Secret Room Entry8282Of the five pieces in the Elegant Carmine set, only the body armor blueprint is actually in the Jungle Ruins location on the far east of the map (past Hanand and past Damian).8484The approach is: fast travel to the nearest unlock point on the east side, cross over the small double-waterfall river toward the larger ruin in the cliff wall, but do not enter the main ruin. Run around the outside on the right, catch some height, and glide over the top of the cliff line above the waterfall. There is a partially buried stone archway in the back corner of the cliff face, exactly where the map marker lands.8686Standing inside the archway, look at the wall. There is a small button recessed into the stone. Hit it with a Force Palm to activate the hidden mechanism, which slides open a secret room carved into the cliff. The blueprint is on a pedestal inside along with some decorative gold bars (the bars are set dressing and cannot be looted). Pick up the blueprint, open the inventory, and examine it to register the recipe.8888The region liberates on the way in even if you only drop a handful of the bandit spawns milling around the outer ruin. Once liberated, the enemies do not respawn for this visit, making the room safe to approach without combat pressure on subsequent trips back for farming.9090Set Completion Note9292The Elegant Carmine set is five pieces, not four. The other four blueprints live in three separate locations: the Elegant Carmine Plate Gloves in Dewhaven Keep, the Elegant Carmine Leather Cloak inside Marni's Masterium, and the Elegant Carmine Plate Helm in a locked side building at the Time Worn Ruins Iron Crawler Station. The fifth piece, the Elegant Carmine Plate Boots, is not a blueprint craft; it is purchased directly from Nora's tailor shop in Varnia for 14 silver once her NPC trust is maxed to 100 via copper-pouch gifts.9494Patch History9696Patch 1.07.00 - Visual Fix9898On May 15, 2026, Patch 1.07.00 addressed an abnormal-appearance issue with the Elegant Carmine Leather Armor on Damiane. Before this patch, the model clipped through the chest piece and left a visible gap along the side of the body, which an earlier temporary fix had partly resolved but at the cost of further unintended changes to the silhouette. The 1.07 fix restores the intended appearance the set was designed around without the temporary-fix side effects, so Damiane wearing the set now reads as the same chest-piece-and-skirt profile described in the Fit and Silhouette section above.100100The fix is purely visual and does not change any stat values, defense numbers, or refinement scaling for the armor. Players who had been avoiding the set on Damiane because of the prior clipping can equip it again without modification, and the dye, refinement, and crafting paths documented above continue to work the same way.102102Database Stats104104Grade: T5 · Slot: ARMOR · Wearer: DAMIANE · Max Defense: 32106106Refinement Levels108108LevelDefensePrice (Silver)Materials+031,740None+151,7562x Thin Hide+271,7803x Thin Hide+391,8324x Thin Hide, 1x Thick Hide+4121,9325x Thin Hide, 3x Thick Hide+5154,9386x Thin Hide, 5x Thick Hide, 1x Small Bone, 1x Abyss Artifact+6188,0168x Thin Hide, 7x Thick Hide, 3x Small Bone, 1x Abyss Artifact+72111,16610x Thin Hide, 9x Thick Hide, 5x Small Bone, 1x Abyss Artifact+82414,54015x Thin Hide, 11x Thick Hide, 8x Small Bone, 2x Sturdy Hide, 1x Abyss Artifact+92718,34625x Thin Hide, 15x Thick Hide, 12x Small Bone, 6x Sturdy Hide, 1x Abyss Artifact+103221,1971x Aeserion's Scale, 1x Abyss Artifact110110Crafted at: Smith.
