The Korean developer and publisher Pearl Abyss has introduced an innovative update to its equipment enhancement system in Black Desert Online today. The “Ancient Anvil” offers players the possibility of obtaining a guaranteed enhancement to their equipment when they reach a certain number of attempts.

The Ancient Anvil enhancement system, players will be able to activate a boost that guarantees an improvement to their equipment in Black Desert Online, whenever they wish to activate it.
In the latest update to Black Desert Online, the developers at Pearl Abyss have given players more power to control their upgrades in the Ancient Anvil enhancement system. In the past, repeatedly failing upgrades could be incredibly frustrating. Although that will still be the case, that effort is not lost in this new system.
When players fail to enhance their equipment, the new Ancient Anvil system will grant them “essences” Agris Essence. These will stack separately for each item and accumulate each time you fail to upgrade in Black Desert Online. When the number of essences on an item reaches a certain point, the Ancient Anvil will activate.
This activation will grant players a guaranteed successful enhancement, so they won’t have to worry about failing again. It’s also worth noting that weapons and armor share the number of essences they accrue, as long as they’re in the same group, with the same enhancement level.
For example, you can take the Blackstar weapons some of the best in the game and apply their essence to another Blackstar weapon, provided they have the same enhancement level, such as the TET Blackstar Greatsword, and transfer it to the TET Blackstar Crossbow. As for a player’s accessories, the essence levels will be specific to each item.
Black Desert Online will always be a challenging game, but the Ancient Anvil update is one of several quality-of-life changes the developers have brought to the game to make it more accessible.
