Patch 1.12 adds one new armor set and five new headgear pieces to Crimson Desert, and the game never tells you where any of them are — every piece is bought from a vendor, so here’s the exact location and price for each one.
Patch 1.12 dropped six fresh cosmetics into Crimson Desert — the Gray Mane Light Armor set plus five new helmets — but it leaves you to find them yourself. The good news is that none of them are tucked behind a quest or a rare drop: every single one sits on a vendor’s shelf, so once you know which town to visit, collecting the lot is a quick shopping run rather than an afternoon of map-combing.

Before you head out
How to find and buy every new Patch 1.12 item in Crimson Desert
STEP 1/5
Buy the Gray Mane Light Armor from Carl
Visit Carl at your camp and pay 7 camp reputation currency for the only new armor set in the patch.
STEP 2/5
Head to the left side of Demeniss City
Travel to the western edge of Demeniss City to reach the vendor stocking three of the new helmets.
STEP 3/5
Buy all three Sentinel helms
Grab the Sentinel of Trust Helm, Feral Sentinel Helm and Sentinel of Tenacity Helm for around 19 silver coins for the set.
STEP 4/5
Buy the Steelmaw Plate Helm north of Hernand City
This vendor sits just north of Hernand City and sells the helm for 132 silver coins with no trust level required.
STEP 5/5
Buy the Silent Conqueror Plate Helm at Varnia
Head to Varnia in the northern region and pick up this final helm for around 3 silver coins, again with no trust needed.
Grab the Gray Mane Light Armor from Carl first — it’s the only piece paid for with camp reputation currency, so you can clear it before heading out and spend the rest of the run buying the five helmets purely with silver.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need a raised trust level to buy the three Sentinel helms in Demeniss City?
This isn’t confirmed. The three helms were available to a player whose trust with that vendor was already at 100, so it’s unclear whether a lower trust level would lock them. If you reach the Demeniss City vendor and can’t purchase the Sentinel of Trust, Feral Sentinel or Sentinel of Tenacity helms, building up trust with that merchant is the most likely requirement.
What does it cost in total to collect all 6 new Patch 1.12 items?
Roughly 154 silver coins plus 7 camp reputation currency. The currency covers the Gray Mane Light Armor, while the silver breaks down as about 19 silver for the three Demeniss helms, 132 silver for the Steelmaw Plate Helm, and around 3 silver for the Silent Conqueror Plate Helm. The single Hernand City helm is by far the biggest expense of the set.
What is the new armor set, and how do you buy it?
The new set is the Gray Mane Light Armor, a lightweight outfit themed after the Gray Manes and the only armor added in Patch 1.12. You buy it from Carl at your camp, and unlike the helmets it’s paid for with camp reputation currency — 7 of it — not silver, so you’ll need to have earned that standing before you can pick it up.
Are these new items permanent purchases or can they be missed?
They’re standing vendor stock, not timed or missable drops. Because each of the six pieces is sold by a fixed merchant — Carl for the armor and the town vendors for the helmets — you can return and buy any you skipped whenever you have the currency. There’s no event window to beat.
