11Overview22The Radiant Plate Boots are a piece of Footwear in Crimson Desert that stand out for their high attack value and aquatic utility. With 16 ATK, they are among the harder-hitting boots available, and the Fire Resistance Lv.1 bonus provides a layer of protection against fire-based damage. The 2% Swim Speed Multiplier makes the player move faster in water, which is useful for reaching underwater treasures and navigating waterlogged areas.44These boots are found inside a small water cave at Windbloom Springs, a location known for its natural hot springs and scenic water features. The cave itself is partially submerged, which makes the Swim Speed bonus thematically fitting for the location where the boots are found.77Stats99StatValueTypeFootwear (Plate)Attack16Fire ResistanceLv.1Swim Speed+2.0%Max Refinement10Sell Price6.38 Silver Coins1111How to Obtain1212The Radiant Plate Boots are located inside a small water cave at Windbloom Springs. The cave entrance is partially hidden by the surrounding water and foliage. Look for a small opening at the base of the springs where water flows into a rocky crevice.1414Step-by-Step1616Travel to Windbloom Springs. The springs are located in the open-world map and can be reached on foot or by fast travel if a nearby waypoint has been unlocked.Search the edges of the springs for a small water cave entrance. It may be partially submerged.Swim or wade into the cave entrance. The interior opens into a small chamber.Open the treasure chest inside to collect the Radiant Plate Boots.1818This piece of footwear cannot be purchased from merchants. It is only obtainable through exploration.2020Special Effects2222Fire Resistance Lv.12424The Fire Resistance Lv.1 bonus reduces incoming fire-type damage by a small amount. While Lv.1 is the lowest tier of elemental resistance, it still provides noticeable damage reduction during encounters with fire-breathing enemies, lava hazards, or boss attacks that deal fire damage. This effect stacks with other sources of fire resistance from Abyss Cores, food buffs, and other equipment.2626Swim Speed +2%2828The 2% Swim Speed Multiplier increases the player's movement speed while swimming. This may sound modest, but it makes a real difference during timed underwater sections, when chasing aquatic creatures for resources, or when swimming across large bodies of water. The bonus is always active while the boots are equipped and does not require manual activation.3030Refinement3232As plate footwear, the Radiant Plate Boots use ore-based materials for Refinement upgrades at a blacksmith. Iron Ore, Copper Ore, and similar ores are used at lower levels. Higher refinement levels require Gold Ore, Silver Ore, and eventually Abyss Artifacts. Each refinement level increases the base attack stat.3434Comparison with Other Footwear3636At 16 ATK, the Radiant Plate Boots match the Plate Boots of the Shadows in raw attack power. However, the Plate Boots of the Shadows offer 7 DEF and a 2% Climb Speed bonus instead of Fire Resistance and Swim Speed. The Radiant Plate Boots trade defensive bulk for fire protection and aquatic mobility.3838For players who prioritize pure defense, the Frostcursed Plate Boots provide 5 DEF with Ice Resistance Lv.1 and Damage Reduction 1.0, making them a tankier alternative. The Radiant Plate Boots are better suited for players who want high attack output and spend time near water.4040Tips4242The Swim Speed bonus stacks with other swim-related effects. If you combine these boots with food or Abyss Cores that boost swim speed, the difference becomes very noticeable.At 16 ATK, these boots hit harder than most alternatives. Consider using them as your primary footwear for combat and swapping to movement-focused boots only when traveling long distances on foot.The cave at Windbloom Springs is small and easy to clear. There are no enemies guarding the chest, so you can grab the boots as soon as you find the entrance.Fire Resistance becomes more valuable in the later chapters of the game, where fire-type enemies and environmental hazards are more common.4444See Also4646FootwearArmorWindbloom SpringsRefinementPlate Boots of the ShadowsFrostcursed Plate Boots
