How to Obtain
The guide confirms drops from Bleed Bandits and explicitly says the drop is not guaranteed. It displays Defense 5 and Lightning Resistance Lv.1 with Bleed Bandits Disguise and no installed gear. The exact item record additionally names Galdor at Warspike Equipment, contradicting the older universal Not purchasable label, and lists Kliff and Oongka with Defense 5 at +0 to 31 at +10. The named seller does not establish first stock gates or verify the earlier 3.58-Silver sell quote. No item-specific Smith recipe is supplied here, so the generic crafting suggestion below is not a confirmed recipe.
Looted from Bleed Bandit enemies or found in Scarlet Blades hideouts.
Some armor pieces can also be crafted at a Blacksmith if the corresponding recipe has been acquired. Check with local Blacksmiths to see if a recipe is available for this armor.
Armor Set
Scarlet Blades Set (includes Scarlet Blades Gas Mask headgear).
Armor sets in Crimson Desert share a visual theme across equipment slots but do not currently provide set bonuses when multiple pieces are worn together. The primary benefit of wearing a matching set is cosmetic. Individual pieces within a set still need to be refined separately to improve their stats.
Notes and Tips
The Scarlet Blades Cloth Armor is connected to the Bleed Bandits faction. The deep crimson coloring serves both an aesthetic and practical purpose according to in-game lore: it hides bloodstains. The Bleed Bandits Disguise effect makes the wearer appear as a member of this outlaw group, reducing hostility from their patrols.
