Crimson Desert New Gear Guide: 39 Pieces, Boss Sets, and Dyeable Weapons in Patch 1.13

Written by X-Gamer on Jul 18, 2026

Quick answer

  • Kliff and Oongka receive 39 new pieces of equipment, including boss gear; Damiane receives 8 new armor pieces.
  • The new items come from quests, achievements, shops, and other sources rather than one single farm.
  • Most weapons and secondary weapons can now be dyed, making the patch useful for both builds and appearance-focused players.

Patch 1.13 is not a single best-in-slot drop patch. It is a broad gear expansion: boss outfits, regular armor, headgear, Kuku equipment, and new dye options arrive together. The useful question is not how to collect all 39 pieces today, but which additions fit the character and route you already use.

What was added

Character New equipment noted in the patch Best first check
Kliff / Oongka 39 pieces, including 20 boss-set pieces, 16 armor pieces, and 3 headgear pieces. Check boss entries, shops, and quest rewards.
Damiane 8 new armor pieces plus access to selected boss equipment. Review her combat role before replacing a working set.
Oongka Most outfits previously available to Kliff, plus Kuku equipment. Test fit and resistances before spending rare materials.

The boss sets worth checking first

  • Tarandus the Ashen: 5 pieces.
  • Unyielding Hero: 5 pieces.
  • Knight of Carnage: 5 pieces.
  • Martial Monk: 3 pieces.
  • Grand General of Demeniss: 2 pieces.

The patch confirms the set additions, but the acquisition route can differ by item. Check the boss entry, achievement list, shop stock, and quest rewards instead of assuming every piece comes from a repeatable boss clear.

A good order for gearing up

  1. Keep your reliable combat set equipped while you inspect the new items.
  2. Check quest and achievement rewards first because they may cost no crafting materials.
  3. Compare boss gear against your existing resistances and skill habits.
  4. Use shops for missing pieces only after checking whether a route already rewards them.
  5. Dye weapons and secondary weapons last, after deciding which loadout is staying with you.

Crafting extras added in the same patch

  • Four carpet recipes can be purchased from shops.
  • Lightning Bolt Plate Armor, Scorchflame Plate Armor, and Frostcursed Plate Armor recipes were added.
  • Kuku Lightning-Resistant, Flame-Resistant, and Ice-Resistant armor can be equipped by Kliff and Oongka.
