BLACK DESERT ONLINE ’S NEW GEAR ENHANCEMENT SYSTEM UPGRADES PLAYER PROGRESSION

Pearl Abyss :

Korean developer and publisher Pearl Abyss has made a ground-breaking improvement to its gear enhancement system in Black Desert Online today. The new “Ancient Anvil” upgrade gives players the ability to make a guaranteed enhancement, when activated, in their next attempt to modify their gear.


When Adventurers fail to enhance their gear, the new system determines that when the number of accumulated “essences” (the “Agris Essence”) reaches a specified number, the ‘Ancient Anvil’ will activate to grant players successful enhancement.

  The essence will individually stack for each item. Weapons and armor will share the number of ‘essences’ as long as they are in the same group with the same enhancement level. For example, essence gathered by attempting a “TET Blackstar Greatsword” can be applied to another Blackstar weapon of the same enhancement level, such as a “TET Blackstar Crossbow.” With accessories, the number of ‘essences’ will be specific to each item. For instance, ‘essences’ earned from “Deboreka Necklace” cannot be shared with any other group of accessories or other accessory parts of the same group.
    The new “Ancient Anvil” enhancement system caps Pearl Abyss’ string of player-friendly Quality of Life updates and improvements in April. Last week, the ability to play musical instruments was expanded to all player classes, and all Adventurers were introduced with five new musical instruments, a fashionable spring outfit called “Primavera”, and were invited to participate in J’s remarkable Hammer of Precision giveaway.
