Oh, and expect plenty more, too.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The addition of new special mounts is straightforward, but what\u2019s this new extraction feature about? It sounds like a huge time saver, as it will let players get the materials they\u2019ve used to refine their equipment back from the equipment itself. A lot of players who\u2019ve reached the Crimson Desert endgame fuss over refining items to improve their stats, and at later levels, many of the materials required are hard to get. Based on the wording here, that grind towards maxing your gear will soon get a little less grindy.<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Crimson Desert: Every Unique Armor Set So Far<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Here is every armor set we've currently found in Crimson Desert.

So, upgrading your equipment through the refinement system is a must as you take on tougher challenges, particularly the harder bosses.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">But the wording here from Pearl Abyss is vague. Will players get their precious Abyss Cores back, for example, or just basic materials such as ores? Abyss Cores are essential for equipment customization, as opposed to refinement, and are socketed to equipment, but do they count as materials in this case? We\u2019ll know more when the update and its patch notes are released.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-313219616\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"null\" class=\"progressive-image article-image article-image-full-size jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/crimson-deserts-next-major-patch-adds-a-much-requested-feature-that-will-help-players-max-out-their-gear.gif\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><figcaption data-cy=\"caption\" class=\"caption jsx-1762799490 jsx-479945570 article-image-caption\">You&#8217;ll need to spend less time farming for materials following the next Crimson Desert patch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The pace of these updates, which have arrived pretty much weekly since the game\u2019s launch, is remarkable. In a recent interview, Pearl Abyss PR and marketing director Will Powers pointed to MMO Black Desert, which it has updated on a weekly basis for over a year, as informing its post-launch support for Crimson Desert. Crimson Desert began life as an MMO follow-up to Black Desert before it was re-jigged to become a single-player game, and you can see some of the MMO-ness in Crimson Desert\u2019s design.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Wesley is Director, News at IGN.
