How to Steal Items
Equip a mask to be able to steal items, pickpocket NPCs, and commit other crimes in Crimson Desert. Check this guide to find out how to get a mask, how to steal an item, why you can't steal items, and the best places to steal from.

How to Steal Items


Acquire a Mask

To be able to steal items, you first need to acquire a mask, which allows you to steal items, as well as commit other crimes. Here's a list of ways to obtain a mask:

  1. Buy from a Black Market Merchant
  2. Obtained as a Reward for Catching Jeffrey
  3. Obtained from Product Storage in the Royal Trading Post
  4. Loot from Bandits to Get a Mask as a Drop

Wearing the mask in public will draw suspicion from bystanders, so keep this in mind before equipping it.

1. Buy from a Black Market Merchant

The easiest way to obtain a Mask is to purchase one from Black Market Merchants, such as Grisle south of St. Halssius' House of Healing in Hernand. You can buy a mask from these Black Market merchants for 10 Copper.

You can also buy one from Grimrak who is located at the Hernand Farmhouse.

2. Obtained as a Reward for Catching Jeffrey

Complete Bounty Notice - Jeffrey
You can get a mask as the reward for apprehending the outlaw Jeffrey in Hernand. Surrender Jeffrey to the city guards to complete the Bounty Notice and obtain the mask.

3. Obtained from Product Storage in the Royal Trading Post

A mask can also be obtained from Product Storage in the Royal Trading Post when you arrive in Hernand.

4. Loot from Bandits to Get a Mask as a Drop

Defeat Bandits
While exploring Pywel, you can encounter hostile bandits and defeat them to obtain masks as potential drops.

Equip the Mask and Select the Steal Prompt

Use Mask to Steal Items
If an item can be stolen, a Steal prompt will appear when you are close to it. Put the mask on to take the item. In addition to the usual theft, you can also pickpocket non-player characters (NPCs). If you don't have a mask, the prompt will be grayed out.

Note that committing crimes, such as stealing, deducts your Contribution Points in a region. You will see this as a notification on your screen after stealing an item.

Why Can’t I Steal?

Steal unavailable without mask

A steal prompt will appear when you approach an object that can be stolen. However, it will remain grayed out if you don't have a mask on. Make sure to equip the mask before attempting to steal, as otherwise it will not work.

Best Places To Steal From

Hernand Bank

Map Location Bank Entrance

The Hernand bank is a great place to rob because it has a lot of valuable items to steal, including silver. The total value of the items in this area is about 40+ silvers, making it one of the best places to loot.
