11 Overview

44 The Ziggurat Leather Armor is a mid-tier chest armor piece in Crimson Desert belonging to the leather armor weight class. With 5 Defense and Lightning Resistance Lv. 1, it represents a clear step up from the entry-level 3 DEF leather chest pieces like the Matana Leather Armor and Ynitium Leather Armor, while sitting below the high-end options like the Leather Armor of the Fallen Kingdom (7 DEF) and the Blackwing Leather Armor (12 DEF).

66 The "Ziggurat" name is shared with the Ziggurat Cloth Helm, suggesting these pieces may originate from the same region or faction within Pywel. However, the two pieces belong to different armor weight classes: the Ziggurat Cloth Helm is cloth (granting Ice Resistance), while the Ziggurat Leather Armor is leather (granting Lightning Resistance).
