Shields of the World, Vol. II
March 26, 2026 at 10:23 AM
Initial version with location, cost, unlocked recipes, and tips
Shields of the World, Vol. II is the second volume in the shield crafting manual series for Crimson Desert. While Vol. I covers entry-level shields available at the same shop, this volume unlocks mid-tier and advanced shield recipes with higher defense values and additional Abyss Gear slots. Both volumes are sold at the same vendor, so players can grab them in a single trip.
Location: Bought at the Equipment Shop in Calphade, Hernand.
Like Vol. I, this manual is available for purchase from the equipment vendor in Calphade. No stealing is required. The exact price may be slightly higher than the 50 Copper cost of Vol. I.
After reading this manual, additional shields become available for crafting. These include:
Shield | Type | Defense | Materials |
|---|---|---|---|
Dekarr Shield | Shield | 3 | Timber x20, Fine Timber x5 |
Large Gilded Shield | Large Shield | 4 | Timber x20, Fine Timber x5 |
Vol. II shields feature higher base defense and more Abyss Gear slots compared to Vol. I options. The Dekarr Shield provides 3 defense with 2 Abyss Gear slots, while the Large Gilded Shield offers 4 defense with 2 Abyss Gear slots.
Attribute | Vol. I | Vol. II |
|---|---|---|
Purchase Location | Calphade Equipment Shop | Calphade Equipment Shop |
Shield Count | 7 shields | 2+ shields |
Defense Range | 2 to 4 | 3 to 4 |
Best For | Early game builds | Mid-game upgrades |
Buy both Vol. I and Vol. II in one trip to Calphade to unlock the full range of craftable shields at once.
The Dekarr Shield is a solid mid-game option that balances defense and weight. It works well for players transitioning out of early-game Bekker or Balton shields.
Large Gilded Shield is one of the tankiest craftable shields available. Pair it with plate armor for maximum damage absorption.
