Ivory is a key component in Crimson Desert, but it can be confusing to find how to get it.

In Crimson Desert, ivory is a crafting material used to refine and upgrade your gear. It can help improve the mobility and defensive stats of your armor, cloaks, and jewelry. Though extremely useful, they aren't as easy to find as wood and ore. In fact, you might have no clue where to even find it.

But don't worry - here's everything you need to know about finding ivory in the game.

How to Hunt for Ivory in Crimson Desert

You can get ivory by hunting and skinning rhinoceroses and elephants in the Crimson Desert, which is on the northeastern side of Pywel.

Though they can be found all over the Crimson Desert region, you'll find most of them in Trader's Expanse and Varnia.

The ways to hunt for rhinoceroses and elephants differ slightly. Rhinos don't engage in combat, but will run away if one in the herd gets attacked. However, they aren't fast - you can definitely catch up to them.

Elephants, however, become hostile. Some might run away, but they might get hostile and hurt you. Practice caution!

Merchants only have a limited quantity of ivory. However, their stock will refresh every day. With the daily refresh in mind, you can stock up on ivory over time - as long as you have enough silver, of course.
