▶ [GM Note] How About a PEN (V) Accessory? 

This content will allow you to upgrade four defense gear and three weapon types for a total of seven boss gears at PEN (V) enhancement level, guaranteed. 

▲ How to Upgrade to PEN (V) Boss Gear! 

If PEN (V) boss gear felt like a daunting feat, this update will grant you a guaranteed chance through steady efforts through an entirely new process altogether. The GMs are here to explain just how you can upgrade to your very own PEN (V) boss gear! 

First, you can proceed with this guaranteed upgrade with the following gear types.

Once you have one of the above gear types in your Inventory (I) talk to [Old Moon Guild Manager] NPC Jetina to accept and complete the following quest.

Quest	Old Moon's Resplendent [Slot]: [Boss] └ You cannot proceed with this quest with the “Sol,” Shai’s Talent weapon.
Requirements	① Have the desired upgradeable gear in your Inventory (I) └ You must remove any socketed crystals or Caphras Enhancement.  ② Complete the quest “Old Moon Guild’s Trade Offer” from Jetina, then complete the Black Spirit’s suggested quest “[PEN (V) Boss Gear: The Old Moon Guild's Best Deal]” with a character that’s Lv. 60 or higher
Objectives	Hand over the upgradeable gear to Jetina
Rewards	TET (IV) Boss Gear identical to the gear type handed over to Jetina └ You can pick the type of Boss Gear you desire if you hand in PEN (V) Tuvala gear equippable by a normal character.  └ The newly obtained piece of gear will no longer be registerable on the Central Market.

* The [Slot] portion of the quest title includes a total of 7 different gear types including helmet, gloves, shoes, armor, main weapon, sub-weapon, and awakening weapon. 

* The [Boss] portion of the quest title includes a total of 13 different bosses, namely Giath, Griffon, Bheg, Leebur, Urugon, Muskan, Dim Tree Spirit, Red Nose, Kzarka, Offin Tett, Nouver, Kutum, Karanda. 

Once you complete the above quest, you’ll finally get TET (IV) Boss Gear that can be upgraded!

Now, join me, [GM] Ferdi, as we travel down the path to upgrade to PEN (V)!

After 5 years and playing nearly everyday, I don't even have enough materials to get 1 TET boss weapon to level 1. I don't have enough yellow grade Black Magic Crystals to make even a half of the required magical shards needed. Instead of taking patients
and luck, it's now going to take time and a fortune in materials. I'm beginning to think just buying a pen is going to take less time starting from 0 silver than acquiring all the materials, and boss battles with rng drops. Oh well, nothing is ever easy.

Oct 14, 2021, 14:17 (UTC) 6

Rallos

@Wildmage04S You entitled priss. If you think it's better to grind out silver, then do it. Quit your crying! You can get a full set of TET gear from just leveling up a seasonal toon, getting a full set of Tuvala gear to Pen with incredible ease. Your outrage
does not equal relevance.

Simon771

@Wildmage04S If you have been playing this game for 5 years every day, you should already have at least full PEN armor/weapon on C9.
I'm playing for few years and have 293k AP and 370DP. I'm not a heavy grinder, and I also didn't have that much luck with enhancing.
Stop asking for free stuff and actually invest some of your time if you want to advance in this game.

Oct 14, 2021, 16:25 (UTC) 4

GiftUngiven

@Wildmage04S Exactly my thoughts. The cost of buying a pen item from the Marketplace and crafting it throught quest it's pretty much the same... It would have been better to do something like the PEN accessory (which i did and i kinda enjoyed it). I won't
even bother starting the quest. No point in doing it at all.

Oct 14, 2021, 17:51 (UTC) 1

Junie

@Wildmage04S This is definitely far cheaper and easier than buying a PEN, at least for the first few of them. If you have been playing as much as you say and didn't have the materials already lying around, you will surely have enough silver to furnish
yourself with plenty of them. I didn't have the yellow BMC, so I... bought them! Of course everything is sold out now, but it will fix itself soon enough, and it takes a few weeklies before you can craft a PEN anyway.

The "fortune in materials" for these PENs is actually much less than the fortune of materials you need for a PEN on average the other way.

Oct 15, 2021, 00:47 (UTC) 2

Junie

@GiftUngiven Crafting it through these quests is far, far cheaper, even with PENs being pretty cheap right now.

@Simon771 It maybe ok for your that you can spend 24 hours a day playing a game, but most of us work...

@Wildmage04S So Right.... literally faster and easier to grind and buy on the market lol. Ill be maybe doing one piece and grinding for the rest

@Wildmage04S I started playing in march and the first day I could get 2 levels of my kutum lol, and I'm not even a hardcore at grinding

ClydeV1

@Wildmage04S How ?! Im playing sicne 2018 I think with a long break in the middle, most of this time just AFK life skilling near depo, so actual active game time was maybe 4-6months top and Im full tet, doing enchanting every half a year after I accumulate
enough and I'm almost full tet and missing 2b for a dream horse now =]
I think you need to get gud :P

Eiro

Why are there different Grades of the Earth / Sky Crystals? The main info graphic at the top of the pages shows that you need just 1 of either for the final Reform Stone?

So if I read this right we need: 150 concentrated black stones, 250 Magical Shards, 1000 Memory Fragments, Some Opals, 8 Latent Aura, 3 PRI, or 2 DUO, or 1 TRI copy of the same boss item you want to PEN, and 1.5 to 10 billion silver. (Edited to correct
reading comprehension mistakes)

IntrinZykk

@Wintershaven [edit: i'm wrong here. read replies to understand better. just leaving this here in case there's other lost souls like me.]
______________________
it seems like you forgot the 220x Oquilla Piece of the Old Moon to obtain 1x Oquilla Sky Crystal (that's 11bil silver) or 580x Oquilla Piece of the Old Moon to obtain 1x Oquilla Earth
Crystal (that's 29bil silver) – depending on what kind of gear you want to upgrade to lvl 5.

silverwise it's worth for AP gear but not for DP gear –buying off the market is cheaper but who knows how long there will be still PENs normally enhanced and sold.

feel free to correct me, if i made any mistakes. :)

Oct 14, 2021, 17:46 (UTC) 0

Julisu

@IntrinZykk You're wrong on this, you don't need 220x pieces for sky crystal/580x for earth crystal.
Those are the amounts for each crystal (goes up each time)
So first sky crystal is 30x, second is 70x, final is 120x

Oct 14, 2021, 22:42 (UTC) 2

Junie

@IntrinZykk That's the total silver required to buy sky crystals to upgrade ALL of the gear, not just one piece. The first weapon for example costs 1.5 bil in oquilla pieces, the second weapon will cost 3.5 bil etc etc.

Oct 15, 2021, 00:34 (UTC) 1

IntrinZykk

@Junie aaaah, right! thanks for clearing that up, guys. doesn't sound bad then.
