Revision 17

Overview

The recorded Grey Wolf Cloth Cloak is for Damiane, with Defense 0 at +0 to 12 at +10, Ice Resistance Lv.3 and Stamina Cost -8% on its +10 card. Grey Wolf Leather Cloak is a separate Kliff/Oongka item: Lightning Resistance Lv.3, a Smith recipe of Thin Hide x4, Cloth Piece x19 and Fleece x4 after reading Leather Armors of the World, Vol.IV, and named sellers Lola and Eric. The older cloth recipe and shopping notes below must not be substituted for that documented leather recipe.

The Grey Wolf Cloth Cloak is a craftable cloth cloak in Crimson Desert that provides 0 base defense and Ice Resistance Lv.3. It is one of three cloth cloaks that share the same crafting recipe of 10 Cloth Pieces and 2 Fleece, alongside the Delesyian Cloth Cloak and the White Bloodwind Cloth Cloak. All three start at 0 defense but can be refined up to 10 levels at a Blacksmith to increase their defense over time.

The broader Greywolf Set contains equipment associated with Kliff in promotional materials. The separate cloth-cloak record names Damiane; do not identify it as the Kliff/Oongka leather cloak merely because both share the Grey Wolf name. The broader line includes equipment such as the Grey Wolf's Sword, Grey Wolf Wooden Shield, chest armor, boots, and the Master Trainer's Touch gloves. While there are no set bonuses for wearing all pieces together, equipping the full Greywolf Set recreates Kliff's signature look from the cover art.

This cloth cloak records Ice Resistance Lv.3, useful against frost-based enemies, ice magic, and cold environmental hazards. In Crimson Desert, material alone does not determine every resistance. Compare the separate Grey Wolf Leather cloak with its Lightning Resistance Lv.3, while Skyblazer Cloth Cloak lists Fire Resistance Lv.5. Those named effects are item-specific, not a universal cloth/leather/plate rule.

In-Game Description

"A cloak for freeswords who roam the frontier. Rough cloth and frayed edges blend with the wind, blurring the wearer's silhouette. Its excellence in blocking the chill and staying hidden makes it ideal for tracking and ambushes."

Stats

How to Obtain

The older acquisition notes describe the Grey Wolf Cloth Cloak as crafted at a Blacksmith after acquiring Cloth Armor of the World, Vol. I. That exact cloak recipe is not independently established by the captured manual list. The earlier book route places the book next to Tina's shop in the City of Hernand. Players can purchase it for 50 Copper or, if wearing a mask, steal it.

The captured Volume I unlock list names Delesyian Cloth Cloak and White Bloodwind Cloth Cloak, but does not establish a Grey Wolf Cloth Cloak unlock. The older notes also attributed recipes to other Grey Wolf cloth armor slots, including helm, gloves and footwear; those broad manual claims remain unverified here.

Purchasing From the Tailor in Pailune

The documented Grey Wolf Leather Cloak, a different item, is sold by Lola, the tailor in Pailune. Older shop notes place the expansion around Chapter 7 or Chapter 8 of the main story, but those timing claims do not establish a Cloth Cloak source. The leather item's record names Lola and Eric and uses Leather Armors of the World, Vol.IV for crafting.

Older shopping notes pair that leather cloak with the Grey Wolf Leather Boots at Lola's shop. Older notes quote the two items together at 9 Silver and 52 Copper; that amount remains an unverified shop snapshot. The leather shopping route is separate from gathering crafting materials for this cloth cloak, whose earlier recipe remains unverified.

Lola's trust level may also affect her inventory. Some players report that the Grey Wolf chest armor only appears after raising her trust high enough, so building a relationship with her through repeated purchases and interactions can unlock additional Greywolf Set pieces over time.

Crafting Materials

The older Cloth Piece x10/Fleece x2 table is retained as an unverified cloth-cloak recipe claim. It is not the confirmed recipe for Grey Wolf Leather Cloak, and the captured Cloth Armors of the World, Vol.I unlock list does not independently verify it for the Damiane cloth item.

Where to Find Materials

Cloth Pieces drop from defeated enemies, particularly bandits found throughout the Hernand Region. After reaching Chapter 4 of the main story, players can also buy Cloth Pieces from the Provisioner's Shop in Hernand Town. The shop restocks daily at midnight (in-game time), so check back regularly if you need large quantities.

Fleece can be looted from enemies, purchased from the same Provisioner's Shop after Chapter 4, or produced sustainably through the ranch at Greymane Camp. To unlock the ranch, progress through the Grounds of the Sunrise quest until you meet Ben and Kamu during the Goldleaf Trading Post quest. After reuniting with Ben at camp, complete the Field of Abundance quest chain to build the ranch, which allows sheep to produce Fleece as a renewable resource.

Refinement

The Grey Wolf Cloth Cloak can be refined up to 10 levels at any Blacksmith. Each refinement level increases the cloak's base defense. Because the cloak starts at 0 defense, refinement is especially important if you plan to use it in combat.

Refinement does not cost Silver. It requires only materials. For cloth cloaks, the primary refinement materials are Cloth Pieces and Fleece. Levels 1 through 4 use only standard materials and are relatively inexpensive, making early refinement highly recommended. From Level 5 onward, each upgrade also requires Abyss Artifacts in addition to the standard materials. Abyss Artifacts are a limited resource earned by filling the yellow gauge (left of the minimap) through defeating enemies, completing Challenges, and quest rewards.

The Refinement Preview feature at the Blacksmith lets you scroll through all ten levels to check the stat gains and material costs before committing. Use this to plan your resource spending, especially at higher levels where Abyss Artifacts are involved.

The cloth cloak's recorded Defense runs from 0 at +0 to 12 at +10. Its +10 card also lists Ice Resistance Lv.3 and Stamina Cost -8%; the earlier claim that Defense is its only functional stat omits that stamina benefit. This card alone does not establish how the stamina modifier changes at every earlier refinement level.

Grey Wolf Equipment Line

The broader Greywolf Set groups several different items. This equipment record names Damiane, while the separate Grey Wolf Leather Cloak names Kliff and Oongka and has Lightning Resistance. Keep the pieces separate when planning a wearer, appearance or resistance setup.

Known Grey Wolf Pieces

The pieces in the Greywolf Set come from several different sources. The Grey Wolf's Sword and Grey Wolf Wooden Shield are Kliff's starting weapons, equipped from the beginning of the game. Armor pieces like the cloak, boots, and chest armor can be crafted using recipes from the Cloth Armor of the World, Vol. I and Leather Armors of the World manuals, or purchased from the tailor Lola in Pailune after Chapter 7. The Master Trainer's Touch gloves complete the set, rounding out the full Greywolf look. The Grey Wolf Leather Boots provide 2 defense with Lightning Resistance Lv.1 and are crafted with 4 Thin Hide and 1 Thick Hide.

Elemental Resistance

Ice Resistance reduces damage from frost-based attacks, freezing status effects, and cold environmental hazards. This resistance is valuable in snowy or mountainous regions of Pywel, against ice-wielding enemies, and during encounters with bosses that use frost magic.

At Lv.3, the Grey Wolf Cloth Cloak provides moderate Ice Resistance suitable for general exploration and early encounters with frost threats. Higher-tier cloaks like the Bear Hide Cloak (Ice Resistance Lv.5), the Reindeer Cloak (Ice Resistance Lv.5), and the Frostcursed Plate Cloak (Ice Resistance Lv.5) offer stronger protection for endgame frost encounters.

Comparison with Other Cloth Cloaks

Ice Resistance cloaks form the largest group among all cloaks in the game. The following table compares the Grey Wolf Cloth Cloak against other cloth cloaks and notable Ice Resistance alternatives.

Because the Grey Wolf Cloth Cloak, the Delesyian Cloth Cloak, and the White Bloodwind Cloth Cloak all share 0 base defense, identical Ice Resistance Lv.3, and the same crafting recipe, the choice between them is purely cosmetic. For a stronger starting defense without refinement, consider the Scarecrow Cloak (2 defense, craftable), the Disguise Cloak (3 defense, purchasable for 20.88 Silver from the Back Alley Shop), or the Reindeer Cloak (3 defense, Ice Resistance Lv.5, found west of Scholastone Institute behind a secret wall).

Tips

• Starting at 0 base defense, this cloak relies on refinement to become combat-effective. Prioritize upgrading it at the Blacksmith if you plan to use it long-term.

• Levels 1 through 4 of refinement only require standard materials (Cloth Pieces and Fleece) and are inexpensive. Refine early for a quick defense boost.

• From Level 5 onward, refinement also requires Abyss Artifacts. Consider whether to spend those artifacts on cloak refinement or on unlocking combat skills.

• Ice Resistance is helpful in snowy or mountainous areas, against frost-wielding enemies, and during boss fights involving ice magic.

• If you want a stronger cloak right away without investing in refinement, look for the Disguise Cloak (3 defense, doubles as a civilian disguise) or seek out the Reindeer Cloak near Scholastone for 3 defense and Ice Resistance Lv.5.

• Stock up on Cloth Pieces and Fleece from the Provisioner's Shop in Hernand after Chapter 4. The shop restocks daily at midnight in-game time.

• For a sustainable Fleece supply, build the ranch at Greymane Camp and raise sheep. This avoids relying solely on enemy drops or shop limits.

• The Cloth Armor of the World, Vol. I manual near Tina's shop in Hernand is cheap (50 Copper) and unlocks recipes for the full set of Grey Wolf cloth equipment. Pick it up early.

• If you have progressed past Chapter 7, you can skip the crafting process entirely by purchasing the Grey Wolf Cloth Cloak from the tailor Lola in Pailune. The cloak and Grey Wolf Leather Boots are available together for about 9 Silver 52 Copper total, which is convenient if you want both pieces at once.

• Building trust with Lola in Pailune may unlock additional Greywolf Set pieces in her shop. Visit her regularly and make purchases to increase her trust level, which can eventually add the chest armor to her inventory.
