Overview
Ivory is a crafting material in Crimson Desert used for refinement at the blacksmith. It upgrades soft armor, cloaks, and jewelry. Ivory comes exclusively from the largest animals in the game: rhinos and elephants, both found in the northern part of the map. These are tough fights, but the material is worth the effort.
Animal Sources
Animal | Location | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Near the fast travel point on the main road in northern Crimson Desert | Always spawn at this spot; also drop Large Bone and Thick Hide | |
Far north, slightly west of the main road leading to Varnia | High health pools; also drop Large Bone and Thick Hide |
Where to Hunt
Rhino Spawn
Rhinos spawn reliably next to the fast travel point along the main road in the northern reaches of Crimson Desert. Fast-travel to this location, hunt the rhinos, then leave and return to reset the encounter. Each kill yields Ivory alongside Large Bone and Thick Hide, making this one of the most material-efficient farming spots in the game.
Elephant Territory
Elephants roam further north, slightly west of the main road heading toward Varnia. They have substantial health pools and deal heavy damage with their tusk swings and stomp attacks. Come with upgraded weapons and healing consumables. Like rhinos, elephants drop Ivory, Large Bone, and Thick Hide, so every kill is a triple payout.
Crafting Uses
Ivory is used at the blacksmith during refinement to upgrade soft armor, cloaks, and jewelry. It sits in the same crafting category as Feather, Cloth Piece, and Fleece, but Ivory is rarer and harder to obtain. Recipes that call for Ivory tend to be higher-tier upgrades.
Tips
Both rhinos and elephants drop Ivory, Large Bone, and Thick Hide. A single trip north can stock you up on three materials at once.
Rhinos are faster to kill than elephants. If you only need Ivory, the rhino spawn point is the more time-efficient option.
Elephants have higher health but also drop slightly more loot per kill. Choose elephants if you want maximum material yield per fight.
Keep cooking consumables on hand for health recovery. Both animals hit hard enough to two-shot an unprepared player.
There is no shop that sells Ivory, so hunting is the only way to obtain it. Plan your trips accordingly.
