* With the introduction of Succession to Black Desert Online, we wanted to preserve the value of our Adventurers’ enhanced Awakening weapons, so we made the AP of both the main weapon and Awakening weapon be utilized for Succession.
As for Sage, who was released in North America and Europe on March 17th, his Succession is 100% of his main weapon’s AP due to his Succession being released first.
Once Sage’s Awakening is released in the future, we will change his Succession to have the AP of both the main weapon and Awakening weapon be utilized as same as before. (Added)
* During the March 24 (Wed) update, we will be adding a quest that allows Adventurers to exchange their PEN (V) Naru (main weapon, sub-weapon, helmet, armor, gloves, shoes) and Canon Awakening weapons for the corresponding Narchillan gear. Narchillan gear will have high-end stats and effects similar to DUO (II) - TRI (III) enhanced Blackstar gear. Due to this upcoming update, we have restricted the ability to delete PEN (V) Naru gear and Canon awakening weapons so that Adventurers won't experience any difficulties exchanging them for Narchillan gear after the March 24 (Wed) update.
Oh, before we go any further... we’d like to touch upon the official trailer and developer commentary videos released on March 12th. While we were thrilled and thankful at the amazing reception of both, we felt that we didn’t fully explain what “Succession available at release” meant. Whenever we design a new class, we’ve always focused on the “Main Weapon (original) state” of the class first, and moved on to Awakening and Succession afterward. However, we’ve always received a lot of feedback asking for either Awakening or Succession to be available immediately upon release of a new class—so we considered how to implement this to be as enjoyable as possible while still ensuring it’s also fun to play. Thus, we decided to design new classes with Succession in mind from the very start from Sage onwards. And so, you’ll be able to jump right into Sage’s Succession questline to unlock Succession when you reach Lv. 56 with him.
All that said, there were some concerns about whether or not Sage has Awakening since he is being released with Succession at launch... O-of course not! We are working hard to make sure his Awakening state is truly a form to behold. Unfortunately, due to the changes in the development process for how we designed Sage, we hope you’ll understand that it will take approximately four more weeks until Awakening will be released.
