Find every new Kliff helmet in Crimson Desert Patch 1.12, including vendor locations, trust-gated shop requirements, silver costs, and the matching Greymane gear set.
Patch 1.12 adds a set of new Kliff helmets to Crimson Desert, all bought from vendors across the map — with several locked behind a trust-gated shop, plus a matching Greymane gear set from Carl back at camp.
The Patch 1.12 update gives Kliff a fresh batch of headgear, and the good news is that none of it is a boss-drop grind — every piece is a vendor purchase. The catch is that the shops are scattered across the map and a few of the helmets won’t sell to you until you’ve earned a shopkeeper’s trust. Here’s the full set, the route to collect it, and the matching Greymane gear you’ll want to grab on the same trip.
The new Kliff helmets and where each one sits
| Helm | Where to buy it | How it’s unlocked |
|---|---|---|
| Silent Conqueror Plate Helm | Equipment shop in Vernia (far north) | Open purchase |
| Steel Maul Plate Helm (a.k.a. Steelmaw) | Equipment shop north of Hernan | Open purchase |
| Sentinel of Trust Helm | Helm forge east of Deminus | Trust-gated |
| Feral Sentinel Helm | Same helm forge | Trust-gated |
| Sentinel of Tenacity Helm | Same helm forge | Trust-gated |
Worth flagging before you set out: the counts and a couple of locations aren’t fully settled yet. One patch breakdown lists five new helmet spots while another counts eight new armor and helm pieces in the update, so the headgear total above is the figure most guides agree on. The spellings wobble too: you’ll see Steel Maul written as Steelmaw, and the Sentinel helms swapped around as “Trust Sentinel Helm” or “Tenacity Sentinel Helm.” We’ve used the most common form for each below.
How to collect every new Kliff helmet in Crimson Desert
STEP 1/4
Buy the Sentinel helms east of Deminus
Open your map and ride east of Deminus to the helm shop for the Sentinel of Trust, Sentinel of Tenacity and Feral Sentinel helms — early players say these three sit behind a trust-gated forge, so they may show blacked-out until you raise the shopkeeper’s trust.
STEP 2/4
Grab the Silent Conqueror Plate Helm in Vernia
Open the map again and head north to the Vernia equipment shop to pick up the Silent Conqueror Plate Helm.
STEP 3/4
Pick up the Steel Maul Plate Helm past Hernan
Travel north of Hernan to the next equipment shop for the Steel Maul Plate Helm.
STEP 4/4
Collect the Greymane gear from Carl at camp
Head back to camp and talk to Carl for the Greymane Light Armor, the Honorary Greymane Cloth Gloves and the Greymane Signet ring.
Stock up on Honey Tea and a few spare books before you visit the helm forge — early players say you need to raise the shopkeeper’s trust to 100 with those gifts before the three Sentinel helms become purchasable.

Silver costs and whether these are bought or crafted
All five helmets are paid for with in-game silver — there’s no premium currency involved. Prices are the shakiest detail right now: the only descriptions floating around are vague (“a couple of silver,” “low-cost”), and no two sources land on the same number, so treat any specific figure in a community screenshot as provisional until it’s more widely confirmed.
There’s also a buy-versus-craft wrinkle. One community guide describes the process as buying recipes from vendors and then making the pieces at a workstation near the camp furniture seller, while other breakdowns say the five helmets are simply bought outright from vendors and not crafted at all. The more consistent read is that these helmets are straight vendor purchases. Either way, don’t expect a big power jump: most of these helms are reported to be largely cosmetic, with only minor stat differences between them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you buy the new Patch 1.12 helmets or craft them?
The most consistent reports say you buy all five from vendors with silver. There is a conflicting community account describing buying recipes and crafting the pieces at a workstation, but that hasn’t been independently confirmed, and the prevailing guidance is that these are straight vendor purchases.
How do you unlock the trust-gated Sentinel helms at the forge?
The Sentinel of Trust, Sentinel of Tenacity and Feral Sentinel helms appear blacked-out at the forge until you raise the shopkeeper’s trust to 100, reportedly by gifting items like Honey Tea and spare books. You also need to have progressed far enough to unlock the forge area (the Menace phase), or the vendor won’t be available. The exact trust requirement is community-reported rather than officially confirmed.
Are the new helmets worth getting, or are they just cosmetic?
Mostly cosmetic. Early impressions say these helms carry only minor stat differences and no meaningful power spike, so the appeal is the look rather than a gear upgrade — handy if you’re chasing the cover-art Kliff style.
Where do you get the matching Greymane armor set?
From Carl in your camp. He sells the Greymane Light Armor, Greymane Signet and Honorary Greymane Cloth Gloves, which reportedly cost a separate currency rather than silver — so it’s a separate vendor from the helmets themselves.
