Edana’s Defense Gear Guide

Introduction

Edana’s Defense Gears are the best in slot armor set in BDO and arrived in August 2025 with the Edania region patch. The gear set is an upgraded version of the “Ancient/Slumbering Orgin” set and can only be obtained by exchanging TET or PEN Ancient gear (Fallen God Armor, Labreska Helmet, Dahn’s Gloves, Ator’s Shoes).

The Edana’s Defense Gear also shares the same “Ancient” set effect as the other gear pieces.

Once you have the Primordial Pigment item, open the Dye (J) menu, select your Sovereign or Edana’s Defense Gear, and navigate to the [Effect] tab to dye the effect.

• 1 Pigment item is consumed per piece of equipment
• For Sovereign weapons, the item’s appearance color will also change to match the effect color.
• Effects are only visible on PEN (V) or higher. For TET (IV) or lower, only the appearance color will change.
• For Edana’s Defense Gear, dyeing the effect does not change the gear’s base appearance color. Base colors must be dyed separately.
• When using Item Copy after Tagging characters, Effect Dyes will also be copied.
  
  • However, any dye changes made while Tagged will not be reflected on the linked character.
• Effect Dyes cannot be applied directly to copied equipment.
  
  • e.g., If character A’s items are copied to character B, you cannot use effect dyes on character B’s equipment.

To remove the dye, you must purchase and use an Edana’s Defense Gear Effect Reset Item from the Old Moon Manager NPC:

• Purifying Pigment – Edana (Purchase from the Old Moon Shop for 10,000,000 Silver)
