Parting Gift is an armor-slotted Abyss Gear that lives on the boots and triggers when you Dodge out of an incoming hit. On evasion, the boots drop a cluster of bombs in the spot you dodged away from. The bombs detonate immediately for a heavy AoE payoff and consistently one-shot non-elite enemies on the community tester's setup. The video gives Parting Gift the highest score on the entire list at 28 out of 30, putting it firmly above every other gear including the S tier picks in the other slots.
There are two reasons the rating sits this high. First, the proc condition is friendly: any successful dodge after being hit triggers the bombs, and Crimson Desert combat already pushes the player to dodge constantly. Second, the payoff is enormous for the trigger cost, with both consistent one-shot kills on regular enemies and a wide enough AoE to clip multiple targets in a single proc.
Parting Gift triggers when you dodge after being hit by an enemy attack. The proc is tied to the boots armor slot, so unlike weapon-slot Combo Attacks or finisher gears, you do not have to be in any specific weapon stance to use it. As long as the boots are equipped and the dodge proc condition is satisfied, the bombs drop. The trigger fits naturally into normal combat flow because dodging out of pressure is already the right defensive response.
Compared to Rising Torrent, which also lives on the boots and procs on dodges, Parting Gift hits more reliably because the bombs detonate at the player's position rather than projecting a water pillar at the attacker. Less travel distance means fewer missed procs, which is the main reason Parting Gift outperforms Rising Torrent in head-to-head testing.
Per-bomb damage is high, and the cluster pattern stacks multiple detonations on the same spot. Against standard mob enemies the proc is described as a consistent one-shot in the community video, which is unusual for any gear and outright unheard of for a defensive proc. The AoE radius is wide enough to clip adjacent enemies in a clustered pull, which adds clear value in mob-heavy farming runs. Boss fights still see the gear contribute, though one-shotting a boss is obviously off the table.
A community ranking video titled All Abyss Gears Tier List (Best to Worst Ranked) scores every Abyss Gear out of 30 across three categories: damage, usability, and utility. Each category is worth 10 points, and the totals are bucketed so that 25 to 30 is S tier, 20 to 24 is A tier, 15 to 19 is B tier, 10 to 14 is C tier, 5 to 9 is D tier, and anything below that lands in F tier. Treat the numbers below as one experienced player's testing rather than a hard rulebook, but the overall ranking lines up with what most Best Abyss Gears Guide tier lists are converging on.
Overall Score: 28/30
Damage: 10/10
Usability: 9/10
Utility: 9/10
Community Tier: S Tier
S tier is reserved for gears that consistently change the outcome of a fight. They hit hard, land reliably, and add real utility on top of the raw damage.
The single highest-rated gear in the All Abyss Gears Tier List video at 28 out of 30. Easy to trigger, one-shots standard enemies, and clears clustered pulls with the AoE bomb drop. There is no realistic argument against slotting Parting Gift on any boots-flexible build.
Proc Reminder: Triggers from a dodge after being hit while wearing the boots that carry the gear. No timing or aim required.
Parting Gift is the boots pick for almost every build. The only reason to swap it out is a build that intentionally cannot dodge often (which is rare in Crimson Desert combat). Compare it to Rising Torrent if you specifically want air-juggle utility, and to Slashing Reeds if you are stuck without recipes for either of the other two boots options.
Parting Gift is a default pick on every build the community currently runs in the Best Abyss Gears Guide. Slot it the moment the recipe drops from a dispatch reward or a witch vendor unlock, and keep it equipped through the rest of the run. The skill ceiling for using it well is extremely low: just keep dodging the way you already do. The skill ceiling for getting maximum value out of it is higher and involves positioning the dodge so the bomb cluster lands on top of multiple enemies, but even unoptimized usage outperforms most other boots procs.
