Find all Crimson Desert crafting materials for gear upgrades, including ores, hides, bones, and Abyss Artifacts needed for high-level refinement.

To upgrade your equipment in Crimson Desert, you will need various refinement upgrade materials. These can be obtained through logging, mining, hunting, expanding your camp, looting enemies, or purchasing them from the Provisioner’s Shop in Hernand.

Felling trees requires the Logging Axe or the Turning Slash skill. Ore requires the Pickaxe or the Force Palm skill. Both the Axe and Pickaxe can be bought at the Provisioner’s Shop in Hernand.

Ores are found on mountainsides and regrow over time. They are used for weapons, plate armor, metal shields, and jewelry. High-up ores can be reached with the “Charged Shot” skill or by climbing and using Force Palm. Specific ore types are more common in certain regions.

Hides and Bones are acquired by hunting animals. Different animals yield different types of hides and bones, which are used for leather armor and jewelry.

Miscellaneous materials, such as Fleece from sheep in your camp’s ranch, can be obtained through camp expansion, looting enemies, or buying from the Provisioner’s Shop. These are used for cloaks, soft linen clothes, and jewelry.
