Black Desert is already entering its seventh year of online service, and currently boasts a much broader range of content compared to its original launch. While Adventurers can enjoy a variety of available content, many newer Adventurers may easily become overwhelmed by the plethora of things to do. The Progression Pass was created to lessen the burden of choice for such New Adventurers by labeling the diverse content of Black Desert into specific categories. With the Progression Pass, Adventurers will now be able to plan out their own goals in playing Black Desert while also having access to valuable tips posted by other veteran Adventurers on the Adventurer's Board by clicking the "scroll" icons. Taking on Black Desert in categorized portions will be easier to digest, allowing Adventurers to enjoy Black Desert at their own leisurely pace, and obtain useful rewards per category along the way.
May all of our Adventurers frequenting the world of Black Desert be able to experience thrilling adventures together with the Progression Pass by their side.

● Once you've upgraded your TET (IV) boss gear to Reform Level V and have it in your Inventory, you can talk to Jetina to proceed with the "Old Moon's Brilliant" quest for the relevant equipment slot.
- Upon completing the quest and handing in your TET (IV) boss gear, you'll be rewarded with the same boss gear enhanced to PEN (V) along with an Item Brand Spell Stone x1 and Crystal Extraction Tool x2.
* You can use the PEN (V) Dim Tree Spirit and PEN (V) Red Nose's Armor obtained from completing the "Old Moon's Brilliant Armor" quests to craft the Fallen God's Armor.

Guaranteed PEN (V) Boss Gear in a Nutshell

First, obtain upgradeable boss gear from Jetina.
- To obtain upgradeable boss gear, you must complete a simple quest.
- You can exchange PEN (V) Tuvala gear that can be equipped by a normal character, TET (IV) boss gear obtained via a Boss Gear Exchange Coupon,
or TET (IV) boss gear that can be registered on the Central Market for the upgradeable boss gear!

Second, upgrade your boss gear through Reform Levels I-IV.
- Concentrated Boss Crystals are required (via Heating) to craft the Reform Stone
and can be obtained from weekly quests, defeating world/field bosses, Dark Rift bosses, summon scroll bosses, etc..

Third, upgrade your boss gear to Reform Level V.
- Concentrated Boss's Aura are obtained via Simple Alchemy with +0/PRI/DUO/TRI boss gear.
- Oquilla Sky/Earth Crystals are purchased via Old Moon Manager vendors.

Fourth, hand in your boss gear, upgraded to Reform Level V, to Jetina to obtain your PEN (V) boss gear!

We've added a guaranteed method to obtain PEN (V) boss gear. We actually spent long hours deliberating over this update. Plenty of adventurers have already enhanced their way to obtaining PEN (V) boss gear, so we couldn't make the process to easy, nor too difficult for new adventurers who'd feel discouraged to attempt the content waiting for them beyond PEN (V) boss gear.

Thus, we designed this process by maintaining a level of difficulty befitting the value of PEN (V) boss gear by steadily increasing the number of required materials to upgrade the gear to PEN (V) grade in this new method. The process to upgrade your first boss gear out of the seven available equipment slots will feel comparatively easy as opposed to upgrading your next and subsequent pieces of boss gear. By "easy," we mean that we adjusted the required amount of Silver and time per attempt.

Concentrated Magical Black Stones, Memory Fragments, and Magical Shards make up the basic required materials, along with special materials obtainable by processing existing boss gear to prevent their value from depreciating.

As mentioned earlier, we spent quite a lot of time thinking about this new "guaranteed enhancement" method. We desired to provide these steps for new adventurers to take so they could also enjoy the process of seeing their characters grow, hence we focused on making sure this process could be completed via "in-game content" as much as possible.
While we know we won't be able to please all of our adventurers with this process, we hope that, at the very least, some of you will be able to experience the pure joy of witnessing your character become stronger.
