Summary

  • Patch 1.13.00 adds 47 new equipment pieces to Crimson Desert—39 for Kliff/Oongka and eight for Damiane—plus crafting recipes for Scorchflame, Frostcursed and Lightning Bolt armor.
  • Oongka and Damiane gain deeper integration, with access to the Abyss, puzzle support, combat fixes and a revised character-switch UI for quests that still require Kliff.
  • Oongka can now wear most Kliff outfits and Kuku gear, while Damiane can equip selected boss-set pieces; new items come through quests, achievements, shops and other sources.
  • The update also fixes a long list of gameplay, UI, combat and performance issues, including PS5 stutter, map crashes and boss-rematch crashes, while adding HUD-hide and Hunter's Sigil options.
  • Known issues remain, including crashes on AMD driver 26.6.2 or newer, blocked Greymane faction progress for Damiane and Oongka, and several platform-specific bugs.
