Revision 6

Expertly crafted plate barding, precision-fitted to the horse's frame. This seamless armor is impenetrable, shrugging off any arrow or bullet that dares to strike it.

Basic Information

Refinement

Hagmund Barding can be refined to increase its stats. Each refinement level requires specific materials and silver.

Hagmund Set

Hagmund Barding is part of the Hagmund mount gear set. Other pieces in this set include:

• Hagmund Champron (Champron, Legendary)

• Hagmund Saddle (Saddle, Legendary)

How to Obtain

Hagmund Barding can be purchased from a saddlery vendor for 8,500 Silver. As the highest-tier barding available in the game with 80 Defense, the Hagmund Barding represents a significant investment. It is a late-game piece of mount equipment suited for players who rely heavily on mounted combat.

The Hagmund set pairs the barding with the Hagmund Champron and Hagmund Saddle, both also Legendary-tier items. Completing the full set provides comprehensive protection and performance for your horse in the most dangerous encounters.

Dyeing

Despite its heavy plating, the Hagmund Barding can be customized at the Dye Station. The polished metal finish option works particularly well with this barding's seamless plate construction.

Unlocking the Hagmund Barding at Zara

The Hagmund Barding is locked behind the same regional unlock pattern as the rest of the Hagmund kit:

Reputation 100 with Zara in Varnia. Necessary but not sufficient. Maxed reputation alone only unlocks her intermediate stock.

Varnian Crown owned. Purchase the Varnian Crown from the Varnia Contribution Shop for 70 contribution points. With the crown in your inventory, the Hagmund Barding (along with the Hagmund Champron and Hagmund Saddle) appears in Zara's storefront.

Best Horse Armor in Crimson Desert

At +80 horse defense, the Hagmund Barding is the strongest horse body armor available in Crimson Desert. The defense jump is large enough that mounted survivability changes meaningfully the moment you swap to it. For any player using their horse heavily in mounted combat or routinely riding through hostile territory between Varnia and the Crimson Desert, this is the body slot to chase. The visual style is also one of the most-cited reasons players default to the Hagmund kit, with a slick silhouette that pairs naturally with most Champron options.
