I'm excited about this addition because with this announcement it addresses one growing concern that others have raised about end-game content, and that is limited choice and development and stale end-game content.

With the introduction of sovereign weapons there will be five added tiers for weapons advancement past PEN (V); SEC (VI), SEP (VII) OCT (VIII), NOV (IX) and DEC (X).  Each will allow the player to choose the weapon attribute they wish to advance for their tier.  Sure it will probably mean's a long grind, but I've accepted BDO as being that long term game requiring committment, as long as those long hours can show advancement.

Embrace the grind!

it all depends how you get the mats, if its all gated behind weekly blitz like the flame, then i will probably quit, cuz its group only.

Hmmm.  Very true.  I really hope it's not gated.  Maybe its just all hype.

It's literally more of the same. Grind to get more silver to get more gear to get more silver to get more gear. Endless circle of cronning endgame gear (Fallen God, Debo and now Sovereign). Even the stats added to new weapon are same concept, just different execution. 

The 5 man bosses or 100 floor dungeon - these are nice concepts, but it's PA. They can release new skin for weapon easily, but making good well crafted mode will be huge challenge for them. 

Bro your highest lvl is 62 you haven't even started the grind. 

Haha, been grinding long enough to make 690 GS.  9000+ hours, almost 3 years.  So close to 700 GS.  Is that good for level 62?
