Updated table with corrected 5 gloves (removed fabricated entry), added Price/Source columns, added wikilinks
Gloves are one of five Armor slots in Crimson Desert. Unlike headgear and body armor, gloves provide both attack and defense bonuses, making them a critical piece of offensive gear. Gloves also offer secondary effects such as attack speed, critical hit chance, and movement speed.
Every pair of gloves in Crimson Desert grants an attack bonus alongside its defensive stats. This makes the glove slot uniquely important for builds focused on damage output. The attack values on gloves range from 9 to 15, while defense values range from 1 to 4. Most gloves also feature two Abyss Core slots for additional customization.
The following table lists all 5 known gloves. ATK and DEF values represent base stats before Refinement upgrades. Price shows the purchase cost where known.
Name | ATK | DEF | Stats | Special | Price | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Canta Plate Gloves | 12 | 3 | Atk Speed Lv.1, 2 Core Slots | None | 2.22 Silver | |
Demenissian Uniform Leather Gloves | 13 | 4 | Crit Lv.2, Lightning Res Lv.1 | Demenissian Disguise | Starting | |
Hernand Ceremonial Guard Gloves | 15 | 4 | Crit Lv.1, Lightning Res Lv.1 | None | 15 Contribution | |
Sunset Reed Cloth Gloves | 11 | 1 | Move Lv.1, 2 Core Slots | Core: Health +1.0/sec | TBD | TBD |
Ynitium Leather Gloves | 9 | 1 | Crit Lv.1, Lightning Res Lv.1 | None | Starting |
Gloves are one of two armor slots (along with footwear) that provide direct attack bonuses. The Hernand Ceremonial Guard Gloves offer the highest base attack at 15 and cost 15 Contribution to unlock. The Ynitium Leather Gloves sit at the lower end with 9 attack but come free as starting equipment.
Several gloves boost critical hit chance. The Demenissian Uniform Leather Gloves stand out with Critical Hit Chance Lv.2, the highest critical bonus among all known gloves. The Hernand Ceremonial Guard Gloves and Ynitium Leather Gloves each grant Critical Hit Chance Lv.1.
The Canta Plate Gloves are the only gloves that provide an Attack Speed Lv.1 bonus, increasing the rate at which strikes connect. They cost 2.22 Silver from the Hernand Equipment shop and also feature two Abyss Core slots.
All gloves with a refinement gauge can be upgraded through 10 levels at the blacksmith in Hernand. Each refinement level raises both the attack and defense stats of the gloves. As with other armor pieces, higher refinement levels require progressively rarer materials and Abyss Artifacts.
Two pairs of gloves are given to the player as starting equipment depending on the context:
Ynitium Leather Gloves: Equipped by default as Kliff's starting gear. Provides Crit Lv.1 and Lightning Res Lv.1.
Demenissian Uniform Leather Gloves: Part of Damiane's starting loadout. These also grant the Demenissian Faction Disguise, letting the player pass as a Demenissian soldier. Their Crit Lv.2 makes them the strongest critical-chance gloves available.
Prioritize gloves with critical hit chance if your build relies on burst damage from weapons with high base damage per hit.
The Sunset Reed Cloth Gloves are a strong early-game pick because their Abyss Core health regeneration effect provides sustained healing during exploration. Their Movement Speed Lv.1 bonus also helps with traversal.
The Hernand Ceremonial Guard Gloves have the highest combined attack and defense of any gloves at 15 ATK and 4 DEF. Acquiring them for 15 Contribution should be a priority for melee-focused builds.
The Canta Plate Gloves are the only gloves with Attack Speed Lv.1, making them ideal for fast-swinging weapon builds. At 2.22 Silver, they are affordable.
