The Ultimate Guide to Black Desert: How to Enchant Your Gear
Are you struggling to level up your gear in Black Desert? Fear not! In this guide, we will show you how to enchant your gear and optimize your gameplay like a pro.
What is Enchanting?
Enchanting is a system in Black Desert that allows you to upgrade your gear’s stats and enhance its abilities. You can use Black Stones and Concentrated Magical Black Stones to enchant your gear.
Black Stones
Black Stones come in two varieties: weapon and armor. Weapon Black Stones enhance your weapons’ stats and improve their efficiency in battle, while armor Black Stones increase your armor’s defense and provide extra durability.
Concentrated Magical Black Stones
Concentrated Magical Black Stones are a more powerful version of Black Stones that have a higher success rate when enchanting. They are costly to purchase, but they can dramatically reduce the amount of time and resources you need to level up your gear.
Enhancing Your Gear
To enchant your gear, you will need to follow the below guide properly.
Know your Limits
Before you start enchanting your gear, you need to know its limits. Every item has a unique maximum enhancement level that you cannot exceed. Enhancing beyond that level will increase the chance of failure and reduce the item’s durability, risking its destruction.
To check your gear’s maximum enhancement level, you can hover over the gear in your inventory, and a tooltip will appear.
Plan Ahead
To avoid catastrophic failures when enchanting, it’s important to plan ahead. Make sure you have enough resources and Black Stones to avoid running out of them during the enchanting process.
When planning ahead, you should keep the following things in mind:
- Consider the probability of success before attempting an upgrade.
- Have enough Black Stones and resources to restore failed enhancements.
Fail Stacks
Fail Stacks is a system in Black Desert that increases the probability of success when enchanting. These stacks of failure occur when enchantments fail multiple times, and the system boosts the chance of success in future attempts.
It’s essential to get fail stacks to increase your chance of success when enchanting your gear.
Protect Your Gear From Destruction
When reaching a higher level of enchantment, failing can destroy your gear. To protect against this, you can use the fail-safe system or Cron stones.
Using Cron stones, you can protect your gear from failing when you reach a higher level of enchantment. It’s expensive, but it’s worth the cost when you consider the time and resources needed to level up your gear.
