Initial version with mining locations, merchant info, enemy drops, and crafting uses
Garnet is a rare ore and refinement material in Crimson Desert. It is used at the Blacksmith to upgrade jewelry through the Refining System. Garnet is found primarily in mountainous areas across the Demeniss and Delesyia regions, though it can also be purchased from mineral merchants or obtained as enemy drops.
Property | Detail |
|---|---|
Category | Ore / Refinement Material |
Primary Use | Jewelry refinement at the Blacksmith |
How to Obtain | Mining, merchants, enemy drops |
Regions Found | Demeniss, Delesyia |
Tool Required | Pickaxe (or Force Palm Attack) |
Garnet is mined from crystal deposits using a Pickaxe, which can be purchased from the Provisioner's Shop in Hernand. Alternatively, the Force Palm Attack can break open deposits without a tool. Garnet appears most frequently in mountainous terrain, so look for crystal deposits whenever climbing or traversing elevated areas.
Region | Specific Area | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Demeniss | Southwest crater (underground) | Drop through the hole in the crater to find a large deposit below. One of the biggest single deposits in the game. |
Demeniss | Northern area | Crystal deposits along the mountainous terrain. |
Delesyia | North of region | Accessible from roads leading out of the capital. |
Delesyia | Near Dewhaven | Additional crystal deposit near the settlement. |

Mineral merchants are a reliable alternative to mining. Each merchant sells approximately 3 to 5 Garnet ores. Two mineral merchants can be found next to each other north of Hernand city early in the game. Additional mineral merchants appear in each region as you progress.
During mid-to-late game, certain enemies drop Garnet upon defeat. The Hexe Earthen Swordsman, an unholy enemy found primarily in the Hexe Wasteland, has a chance of dropping a range of ores including Garnet.
Jewelry Refinement: Garnet is used exclusively for upgrading jewelry (rings, necklaces, and accessories) at the Blacksmith through the Refining System.
The underground crater deposit in southwest Demeniss is easy to miss. Look for a crater with a visible hole in the ground, then drop down. The deposit inside is large enough to make the detour worthwhile.
Purchasing from mineral merchants is often more efficient than traveling between mining locations, especially early in the game when fast travel options are limited.
Since Garnet is used only for jewelry refinement, you will not need massive quantities. A visit to each of the four known mining locations should cover most upgrade needs.
Mining deposits, including Garnet veins, respawn after approximately 7 in-game days.
