11Overview22Leather Riding Hat is a Boss Leather Armor headgear piece in Crimson Desert. An elegant leather hat favored by nobles, crafted in the form of a wide-brimmed hat that shields the wearer from the sun. A single long, pristine white feather graces one side, adding a touch of refined sophistication.66Stats88StatValueGradeBossArmor TypeLeather ArmorSlotHeadgearDefense3Price3,718 Silver1010Refinement1111At Refinement Level 0, this item provides the following stats:1313StatValueDefense21515Higher refinement levels increase these stats further.

To unlock it on her storefront, you have to push your reputation with her up to 100. Once you cross that threshold, the hat appears in her inventory at standard purchase price.4242Fiona Reputation Tips4444Fiona accepts crafting materials as gifts to raise reputation, which is by far the easiest path to 100. Hand in any crafting components you have stockpiled from gathering or salvaging, and the meter climbs steadily. There is no special category requirement, so even common materials work. Combine gift turn-ins with completing nearby House and trade-group missions for a faster climb.4646Place in the Riding Attire Set4848The Leather Riding Hat is the head slot of the larger Riding Attire set, which also includes Master Trainer's Touch, Riding Boots, the Riding Attire chest piece, and the Riding Cloak. The exact stacking effect of the hat on horse-trust XP has not been directly measured in available source material, but every confirmed piece of the set adds to the growth-rate buff, and the hat is part of the same matched set both visually and thematically. Wearing the full set is the tested way to compress horse leveling time by roughly five times compared with bare gear.5050Related Pages5252Fiona, Demeniss, Riding Attire, Master Trainer's Touch, Riding Boots, Riding Cloak, Horse Leveling.5454The Riding Hat is the head slot of the riding outfit set in Crimson Desert. Patch 1.04.00 added a +1 Horse XP Gain bonus to the hat, bringing it in line with the other three riding pieces and completing the set so that wearing the full kit grants a stacked +4 Horse XP Gain, roughly doubling the previous bonus.5656Quick Information5858PropertyValueTypeHeadgearSetRiding SetPre-1.04 effectCosmetic only; tooltip did not list a Horse XP modifier.Post-1.04 effect+1 Horse XP Gain (matches the other riding pieces).Patch updatedPatch 1.04.006060Patch 1.04 Tooltip Update6161Before Patch 1.04.00, the Riding Hat existed in the equipment system but did not list a Horse XP Gain modifier in its tooltip. The patch updated every piece of the riding outfit so that each one explicitly displays both Horse Taming Difficulty and Horse XP Gain, and granted +1 Horse XP Gain to the hat. With the cloak, chest (Riding Attire), and boots already contributing +1 each, the full riding loadout now totals +4 Horse XP Gain.6363Practical Effect6565Roughly doubles the previous riding-set bonus. Pre-patch the set capped at +3 Horse XP Gain because the hat slot was empty; the +1 added by 1.04 takes the total to +4.Noticeably reduces the in-game time required to reach full trust with a horse companion. Players who farm trust and skills on multiple horses see the largest gains.No additional crafting or quest barrier. Existing copies of the hat in storage updated in place to the new tooltip when 1.04 went live; no rework or re-crafting was required.6767Set Pieces6969The full riding outfit comprises four equippable pieces, each contributing +1 Horse XP Gain:7171SlotPieceHeadRiding HatChestRiding AttireCloakRiding CloakBootsRiding Boots7373Where to Buy7474The Riding Cloak is sold at the Back Alley Shop in Pailune once trust with that vendor reaches level 100, which gives a reliable late-game path to closing out the set. The remaining pieces, including the hat, are obtained through the same gear and outfit channels used for other riding-themed equipment.
