How to get the Baltheon Armor in Crimson Desert

Who doesn't love getting a new set of plate to wear in Crimson Desert? The Baltheon Armor was added in the most recent patch, but unlike the spooky Shadow Armor and Frostcursed Armor sets, this one is a little more knightly and a little less lich king.

As you'd expect, you can find this noble-looking set in the home of chivalry, Hernand, though it's not quite as simple as just rocking up and purchasing it. So, here's how to unlock and acquire the Baltheon Plate Armor set.

Crimson Desert Baltheon Armor location

You can buy the Baltheon Plate Armor from Rhett's store in Hernand city, but when you find it in the store menu, you'll see that it's "Only sold to those who hold prestige." In order to buy the Baltheon Armor, you'll first need to acquire the Hernandian Crown item from the Contribution store in Hernand Castle.

This costs 70 Contribution points, making it the second most expensive item in that shop, so not something you can grab early on. If you read the description, though, you'll see that it's "Imbued with prestige", which is exactly what you need. You don't even have to equip the crown so long as you have it on your person. Speak to Rhett again and you can purchase the helmet, armor, and gloves.

It's unclear whether this set has boots or a cape, but the Canta Boots you can also get from Rhett should combo nicely, as will any of the Contribution shop Hernand knight cloaks you can purchase, though you'll have to sell back that Hernandian Crown to get enough for those as well.
