But don’t fret because I am here to help you find them all.
All New Armor Sets and Helms in Patch 1.13

Besnet Cloth Armor
You can get the Besnet armor by completing the Maze of Burhum challenge. You’ll just have to find the secret path by following the lights and find the hidden artifact. Also, it’s best to use Kliff to complete this challenge. Once you find the artifact, you’ll be rewarded with Besnet Armor.

To get the Oak Barrel leather Armor, you’ll have to complete the “Traveler with Oak Barrels” challenge under “White Crow’s Gaze.” The challenge is fairly easy, as it only requires you to meet eight Tavern owners from all the regions. After completing the challenge, you’ll find the armor in Pailune Back Alley Shop.

You can get the Lonely Bomb armor after completing a Crimson Desert Faction quest. The quest you’re looking for is “The Faceless” under the “Lords of the Unclaimed Lands” questline. The Faceles is a batch of five individual quests, and you’ll have to complete all of them:
- Masked Bandits
- The Master of Masks
- The Disaster Befalling Nahab

- What remains beneath the masks
Once you’ve completed the missions, you’ll find the Lonely Bomb Armor at the Tashkalp Back Alley Shop.

To get your hands on the Stein Leather armor, you’ll have to complete a Hernand Faction quest under the Requests. You’ll have to find the “A Favor for Hernand” questline and go for the “Path Crossing the River” challenge. As part of this mission, you’ll have to dispatch your comrades to build Rocca’s Hill Slave Camp bridge.
Red Rider’s Plate Armor
You’ll need to acquire two diffetent parts to complete The Red Riders Armor:
| Plate Armor | You can get the Red Riders Plate Armor in Crimson Desert by completing the Maze of Dawnreach challenge in Tashkalp. It might take some time to complete the maze, but it only requires you to find the hidden path within the maze and obtain the artifact. For this, you’ll have to push some buildings using the Force Palm’s 3-hit combos. Eventually, you’ll find the keys you will get the Red Riders Armor at Tashkalp Equipment Shop. |

Just scroll down to find the “A Favor for Demeniss” questline and finish the “Horse outside the manor” challenge. You’ll need to kickstart this mission by talking to a noble at Azeniar Manor.
