PEN (V) Blackstar Main/Awakening Weapon Reward
Last Update: June 26, 2024
New Primordial grade weapons, "Sovereign", is set to make its debut in the Black Desert.
These new weapons will be released approximately five years after the Star's End in western Calpheon was first introduced.
Ahead of the Sovereign Weapon release, we have prepared an update to assist both veteran adventurers who have crafted PEN (V) Blackstar weapons and new adventurers just starting their journey.
With the newly added method, adventurers can select and obtain one PEN (V) Blackstar main or awakening weapon.
Veteran adventurers who have been crafting PEN (V) Blackstar weapons will be able to quickly craft the upcoming Sovereign weapons,
while new adventurers can use the obtained PEN (V) Blackstar weapon to challenge higher-level monster zones or content.
This serves as a form of support content, similar to guaranteed upgrades for PEN boss equipment or PEN boss defense gear from the Magnus, aiming to aid adventurers in their step-by-step growth.
