11Overview22The Plate Gloves of the Shadows are a Gloves piece in Crimson Desert. They are part of the Shadows equipment set, a collection of high-tier plate armor scattered across hidden locations in the Everfrost region and Hoenmark Ruins. These gloves come with 2 built-in Abyss Core sockets, making them highly customizable for different builds. They can be refined up to 10 levels at the blacksmith to further increase their stats.55Stats77The pickup display has 18 Attack and 3 Defense, matching +3 in the recorded progression. Installed Ascent I gives Climb Speed 2% and Surge I gives Swim Speed 2%; those effects are separate from a generic empty-socket count. The recorded +10 progression reaches 36 Attack and 17 Defense.9+StatValueTypePlate GlovesAbyss Core Slots2Refinement10 levels911The two built-in Abyss Core sockets allow players to customize these gloves with powerful modifiers. With full refinement and the right Abyss Cores socketed, the Plate Gloves of the Shadows become one of the strongest glove options available.1012How to Obtain1214The pickup guide locates Everfrost Cave far west of Scholasta Institute. An alternative is defeating Beloth, the Dark Sworn during White Blizzard in Chapter 7, which rewards the gloves with the other Shadows set pieces.16+The Plate Gloves of the Shadows are found inside Everfrost Cave, a pure ice cave hidden in the mountainside within the Everfrost region of Hernand. The cave is located in the far eastern part of Hernand.1418To reach the cave, follow the river that runs underneath the word "Hernand" on the map, then take a left turn up the rocky mountains. Look for an entrance built into the mountainside wall. The path to the cave skirts close to the edge of the playable area, so you may see boundary warnings as you approach.1620Once inside Everfrost Cave, the environment is entirely covered in ice. Your character may slip on the icy surfaces, so move carefully. The gloves are inside a treasure chest deeper within the cave. No combat is required to pick them up; simply open the chest.1822Getting out of the cave may require some careful jumping due to the slippery ice floor. Take your time navigating the icy terrain on the way back.2024Related Set Pieces2226The Shadows set includes five pieces across all armor slots:2428SlotPieceLocationPlate Helm of the ShadowsHeadgearHoenmark Ruins (defeat Beloth, the Darksworn)Plate Armor of the ShadowsBody ArmorCave near Everfrost WatchtowerPlate Cloak of the ShadowsCloakHidden chamber at Hoenmark RuinsPlate Gloves of the ShadowsGlovesEverfrost CavePlate Boots of the ShadowsFootwearFrostclaw Cave2630Tips2731The cave entrance is easy to miss. Keep an eye on the mountainside wall as you climb up from the river. If you receive a boundary warning, you are in the right general area.No enemies guard the chest, so this is a completely free pickup. You can grab these gloves as soon as you can reach the Everfrost area.The icy floor inside the cave causes your character to slide. Avoid sprinting and take turns slowly to prevent slipping off ledges.Consider picking up these gloves on the same trip as the other Shadows pieces in the Everfrost area, since the Plate Boots of the Shadows and Plate Armor of the Shadows are all located nearby.
