5-The Tarnished Necklace is a Necklace accessory in Crimson Desert. It provides a +1 Attack bonus and is currently the only documented necklace in the game. Despite its worn appearance and low sell value, the Attack boost it provides stacks with bonuses from Weapons and Rings. This adds to overall damage output.
5+The Tarnished Necklace is a Necklace accessory in Crimson Desert. It provides a +1 Attack pickup display. It is one of several documented necklaces, including Ancient's Necklace, rather than the sole option. Earlier build advice combines it with Weapons and Rings. This adds to overall damage output.

7-Players can equip exactly one necklace at a time. Since the Tarnished Necklace is the sole known option for this slot, it is effectively a mandatory piece of gear for anyone looking to fill all six accessory slots (two earrings, two rings, one necklace, one Cloak).
7+The earlier accessory-slot layout uses two earrings, two rings, one necklace and one Cloak. That does not make this particular necklace mandatory; compare other documented necklaces and refinement states.

1212 The +1 Attack bonus is modest on its own, but it stacks with the Attack bonuses from rings (such as the Tarnished Ring at +1 ATK or the Hernandian Signet at +2 ATK). A full offensive accessory loadout using the Tarnished Necklace, two offensive rings, and refined earrings can provide a meaningful damage increase on top of weapon stats.

1414 Description
1515  
1616 "A necklace dulled by years of wear. Though its original luster has faded, it bears the weight of time, passed through the hands of countless owners."
1717  
1818 The flavor text paints the Tarnished Necklace as an old, well-worn piece of jewelry that has changed hands many times. Its history of multiple owners suggests it has been traded, looted, or passed down through generations. The "weight of time" may be figurative, referring to the necklace's sentimental or historical value rather than any magical property.

2020 How to Obtain
2121  
22+The crafting route uses 7 Copper Ore and 2 Garnet at a Blacksmith after learning Accessories of the World, Vol. II. The pickup guide also confirms non-guaranteed Bandit drops and lists a 1.93 Silver sell display, distinct from the older 1 Silver quote. The recorded +0 Attack is 0, +1 is 1 and +10 is 11. Do not treat the acquired +1 example as a fixed maximum or a tested damage multiplier.
23+ 
2224 The Tarnished Necklace is looted from Bandits encountered throughout the open world. Bandits appear in camps, along roads, and in strongholds scattered across the map. The drop is not guaranteed, so multiple bandit encounters may be needed to acquire one.

2426 Farming Tips
2527  
2628 Bandit camps: Clear bandit camps during Main Story quests and side content. Bandits respawn at regular intervals, making camps a reliable farming spot.Roadside encounters: Groups of bandits spawn along roads between settlements. Traveling on foot or horseback between Hernand and outlying areas will trigger frequent encounters.Loot corpses: After every fight, check the white dots on the minimap. These indicate unlooted bodies. Accessories are a common drop alongside Silver coins and consumables.Duplicate copies: Since the necklace is non-unique, players can loot multiple copies. Extra copies can be used as refinement material at the Blacksmith.

2830 Refinement
2931  
30-The Tarnished Necklace supports up to 10 refinement levels at any Blacksmith. Refinement materials for jewelry are Hides and Bones obtained from Hunting animals. Alternatively, duplicate Tarnished Necklaces can be used as upgrade material.
32+The Tarnished Necklace supports up to 10 refinement levels at any Blacksmith. Refinement materials for this necklace include Small Bone, Garnet and later Gold Ore, Diamond and Abyss Artifacts. The earlier generic Hides and Bones advice from Hunting is not its exact complete recipe. Identical Necklaces can replace materials only in eligible early steps before an Abyss Artifact is required, following Patch 1.06.
3133  
32-Refining the Tarnished Necklace is a worthwhile early-game investment since it is the only necklace available. Upgraded tarnished accessories grant additional bonuses including increased attack speed and stamina regeneration on top of the base Attack stat increase per level.
34+Refinement raises this necklace's recorded Attack from 0 to 11. The older claims of increased attack speed and stamina regeneration are not established as this necklace's refinement effects; its separate recovery field is malformed and cannot establish a new numeric rate.
3335  
34-From level 5 onward, Abyss Artifacts are required alongside standard materials. Since the Tarnished Necklace is currently the only necklace option, players may want to invest Abyss Artifacts here to maximize the one necklace slot available.
36+From level 5 onward, Abyss Artifacts are required alongside standard materials. Compare other necklaces before committing Abyss Artifacts; this is not the only option for the slot.

3638 Accessory Slot Context
3739  
3840 Crimson Desert allows players to equip six accessories simultaneously:
3941  
4042 2 Earrings (e.g., Oath of Darkness, Engraved Gold Earring)2 Rings (e.g., Hernandian Signet, Tarnished Ring)1 Necklace (Tarnished Necklace)1 Cloak (e.g., Hernandian Noble's Cloak)
4143  
42-Since the necklace slot is limited to one item and the Tarnished Necklace is the only known option, it occupies a unique position in equipment planning. Any future necklaces added to the game through updates or DLC would compete directly with this item for the single slot.
44+Although the earlier layout allows one necklace, this is one of several choices in equipment planning. Other documented necklaces already exist, rather than depending on a future update or DLC to provide an alternative.

46-Currently the only documented necklace in Crimson Desert.Commonly dropped by Bandits, making it one of the earliest accessories most players acquire.Low sell price of 1 Silver; extra copies are better used as refinement material than sold.Upgraded tarnished accessories provide bonus effects like increased attack speed and stamina regeneration beyond their base stat.The worn appearance described in its flavor text matches its position as a low-tier, early-game piece of equipment.
