Diamonds are one of the most valuable resources in Crimson Desert. You need them to craft and upgrade powerful Abyss Gear, making them essential for progression. However, you cannot buy Diamonds from vendors—you must mine them in specific locations.
This guide explains exactly where to find Diamonds and how to farm them efficiently.
Where to Find Diamonds in Crimson Desert
You can find Diamonds early in the game in a cave located in the Hernand region.
The exact location is:
- South of Howling Hill Greymanes Camp
- Inside a large crater/pit
- Enter the Hernand Highlands Cave
This same area also contains the Dragon Stone Chamber puzzle, which unlocks an Abyss Cresset fast travel point.
To reach the cave:
- Go to the large crater south of the camp
- Look down toward the southern wall
- Spot the small cave entrance at the bottom
- Head down and enter the cave
Follow the narrow path inside until you reach the mining area.
What You Need Before Mining
Before you start mining Diamonds, make sure you have:
- A Pickaxe (buy it from the Provisioner in Hernand City)
Without a pickaxe, mining becomes difficult and inefficient.
How to Mine Diamonds
Inside the cave, you will find Diamond deposits at the end of the path.
To mine them:
- Use a Pickaxe
- Or use your Force Palm ability
Each deposit gives:
- Up to 2 Diamond rocks per node
Once mined, collect the dropped Diamonds from the ground.
How to Use Diamonds in Crimson Desert
Diamonds are mainly used for:
- Crafting Abyss Gear
- Upgrading existing equipment
- Selling for silver coins
You can take Diamonds to a witch or crafting NPC to upgrade your gear and improve your combat strength.
Diamond Farming Tips
To farm Diamonds efficiently in Crimson Desert, focus on exploring caves instead of open areas, as caves have a much higher chance of spawning rare minerals. Always carry a pickaxe so you can mine nodes without delay, and keep an eye out for crystal-like mineral veins rather than regular rocks.
Since Diamond nodes respawn over time, revisit the same locations after a while instead of waiting in one place. Following this approach helps you farm consistently and avoid wasting time on low-value areas. Play Now!
