Delverium Crab Armour: Chitin, Hide, Wool and Melee Bonus

Updated October 4, 2026 · Delverium Guide

Crabs drop Crab Chitin. The four Crab Armour recipes total 54 Chitin, 2 Cow Hide and 7 Wool at an Iron Anvil. The complete set's recorded bonus is +15% melee damage; chitin by itself is not the finished armour.

Calculate the complete material bill

The Chitin page abbreviates the hide component as Hide; its linked Hide page redirects to Cow Hide and lists the same armour recipes explicitly. Use Cow Hide for this route, not an invented generic leather source.

Split the gathering jobs

1. Collect Chitin from Crabs; the source does not give a guaranteed quantity per kill.
2. Get the two hide components from cows.
3. Prepare seven Wool through the sheep supply route.
4. Bring the selected piece's ingredients into Iron Anvil range and craft it.

Choose the next piece for your goal

Our planning suggestion is to compare the next affordable piece with the pieces you already wear, then complete the set if its melee bonus is the objective. The bonus is distinct from individual armour stats and cosmetic appearance. Chitin also appears in an Armour Potion recipe in the reference; reserve supplies before assuming all drops are spare equipment material.
