Crimson Desert early gear upgrades: start at the Hernand blacksmith
Bring the weapon you actually use to the Hernand blacksmith, open Refinement and inspect the materials for its next level. Gather only what that screen requests, then upgrade one item and compare its stats. Do the same for armor you plan to keep; early material lists vary by equipment.
ItemsPCPlayStationXboxCrimson Desert healing food: prepare a simple field supply before a fight
Before leaving a safe area, carry food whose item description actually restores Health and put it in a usable quick slot. Gather ingredients, cook at a campfire or cooking station, and check the resulting item's effects before a dangerous encounter. Some foods restore other resources instead, so do not assume every meal heals HP.

Keep rare or unfamiliar materials, gear you may use, and ingredients for your next upgrade. Move them to Private Storage first; selling is harder to undo.
