11Overview22Elegant Carmine Plate Helm is a Mythical Plate Armor headgear piece in Crimson Desert. A formal plate headgear designed to maintain elegance even in the most prestigious places. Designed with golden feather ornaments that lightly frame the sides of the head, it ensures an unobstructed field of vision while clearly signifying the wearer's high status.66Stats88StatValueGradeMythicalArmor TypePlate ArmorSlotHeadgearDefense6Price1,320 Silver1010Refinement1111At Refinement Level 0, this item provides the following stats:1313StatValueDefense21515Higher 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.7676Crafting Notes7878The helm rounds out the Damian outfit. In dim lighting the default color can read closer to gray than black, but on sunny in-world days the finish is noticeably darker. Applying a dye is the most reliable way to stabilize the helm's look across weather states.8080Verified Blueprint Location (Iron Crawler Station)8282The plate helm blueprint is not in the jungle ruins. It is stashed in a locked side building at the Time Worn Ruins Iron Crawler Station, south of the Crimson Desert region label on the map. This is also the objective point for the Time Worn Ruins expedition, so clearing it alongside the blueprint pickup gives you access to Abyss Artifact drops through the dispatch rotation.8484From the nearest fast travel marker, fly toward the station using aerial force palm combined with focused aerial roll for the longer horizontal stretch. On the ground near the end of the route, the station appears as a cluster of looping train tracks with a large train stop platform in the middle. Look for the side building attached to the main platform; the door is locked from the outside.8686The door takes a generic Regular Key to open, the same key sold by back-alley vendors in most cities. Inside, the blueprint is on a table in the back-right corner of the single room. No guards inside the building, so once the door is open, pick it up and leave.8888Helm Recipe (Verified)9090After registering the blueprint, craft at any blacksmith under the Plate Equipment menu. Per-piece cost:9292Iron: 10Copper: 5Gold Ore: 39494The helm recipe is ore-only; it does not consume garnet or hide. This makes it one of the cheaper pieces in the set to craft once the Gold Ore and Copper stockpiles from the Anvil Hill Cave farm are in place.9696Database Stats9898Grade: T5 · Slot: HEADGEAR · Wearer: DAMIANE · Max Defense: 21100100Refinement Levels102102LevelDefensePrice (Silver)Materials+021,320None+131,3381x Iron Ore+241,3742x Iron Ore+351,4733x Iron Ore, 1x Copper Ore+471,6354x Iron Ore, 2x Copper Ore+594,7705x Iron Ore, 3x Copper Ore, 1x Large Bone, 1x Abyss Artifact+6118,0286x Iron Ore, 4x Copper Ore, 2x Large Bone, 1x Abyss Artifact+71311,4097x Iron Ore, 5x Copper Ore, 3x Large Bone, 1x Abyss Artifact+81515,2469x Iron Ore, 7x Copper Ore, 4x Large Bone, 1x Bismuth Ore, 1x Abyss Artifact+91719,93212x Iron Ore, 10x Copper Ore, 6x Large Bone, 3x Bismuth Ore, 1x Abyss Artifact+102122,7831x Aeserion's Scale, 1x Abyss Artifact104104Crafted at: Smith.
