[Black Desert] PEN Boss Gear Exchange Questline / Event Guide | Jetina Questline

[@5CHENTE]

This man is carrying the BDO guide community.

[@requiemxd2982]

It really is insane how well you fill in the void in this game, that is the game being hard to understand and get into. You're incredible, good work!

[@Despond]

The pen quests are pretty basic and self-explanatory but yes the guide is nice if you just started playing today.

[@12thfret66]

@@Despond You started playing today then? Otherwise; why are you here?

[@josiahbalas9068]

I'm a suuuuuper noob when it comes to bdo but your content is so detailed, basically a step by step instruction guide that has carried me throughout my bdo journey. Your videos carried me so well for my journals as well for my ap/dp boosts and I wanted to say thank you! I would have definitely given up on the struggle for bdo if you weren't giving such helpful guides

[@xsaint4133]

Thanks so much for making something so complicated fairly easy to understand. I wasn't even going to attempt this after looking at the patch notes for it due to how daunting it looked initially, but now am ready to give it a shot!

[@animethighs9966]

I want to update you guys on the reform recipe. It’s now: green crystal, concentrated magical shard, magical shard, memory fragment, and concentrated boss crystal.

[@tlove21]

Your guides are so helpful. Makes the game much easier for people like me who have little time to invest.

[@delicrux]

i appreciate the quick breakdown and even explaining simple details like how to make relics, while i am a vet in bdo ive noticed allot of guides allays skip stuff like that and leave newer players very confused.

[@javiermanjarres5624]

you can also get the magical fragments exchanging old moon boss seal, you get those by participating in world bosses

[@relentlessreid6928]

You are right about this, but remember this is an event that is ending in a week or so I think so just know that after that, the only way is heating the crystals.

[@420slabtivist2]

I got my character auto running while I've been learning the encyclopedia's worth of mechanics on how this game works and how to actually progress😂 Thanks for the help. You are awesome!

[@button9]

As a lifeskiller, you should also mention (though maybe inefficient?) Trading imperial alchemy delivery seals for magic shards in Olvia.

[@user-dn7vl8cv2q]

I’ve been doing that since I discovered I can get the magical shard using this method I only get around 4 magical shard per day it’s a great method for people who don’t want to grind in the Valencia area I guess.

[@leme686]

In EU you bleed silver doing that. I tried it at first but grinding is so much better its unthinkable for me to do it again..

[@stevanko1]

Dude you are a godsend! This game would be completely unplayable for me if it weren't for your guides! Thank you a thousand times! This one and the gear progression in particular melted my brain a little. P.S. Seems there is a bit of central market shortage on the (rough) opal at the moment, will probably have to go get it manually.

[@Brownie05191]

Helped out a lot! Thanks for all of the informative videos!

[@aivideos322]

You can trade alchemy seals for magical shards if you can give up your cooking money for a while. Its not a lot but it helps if you are having trouble getting them otherwise.

[@electrochem8819]

yo man, you gotta update this guide because they change the recipe from rough crystal to green crystal. People might got confuse

[@gloryplaysgames1]

Great info man, thanks for sharing!

[@Skutters69]

Was hoping you would make a video on this. Most of this stuff came out when I was on BDO break and couldn't be bothered to read up on it lol.

[@wombatnippls4695]

Blessed be, father EvilDoUsHarm has uploaded

[@BMWaM3]

I appreciate your videos they have helped me a lot and I have been on BDO sonce 2019

[@MetroidCannonBall]

All rise! "In walks a disheveled man" You may be seated. "The teachings commenced"

[@I-HAVE-A-BOMB]

This is insanely more expensive than outright buying it lol nice one BDO

[@CommandoMaster]

Can't wait for the next Seasonal Server Winter Dec 22. Nothing to do in BDO until then.

[@Oplix]

One thing I really don't like is the inconsistency of item colors to their rarity. Magical Shard is a white item yet it comes from a yellow item. This makes no sense. New players might discard white items which they receive as rewards thinking they are common items that can easily be replaced. I deleted 3 magical shards like that.

[@Calm_Chaos]

And there I was selling off these crystal's as I used them in my armour and thought what am I suppose to do with these other crystal's? And here it is, this game does not help noob players at all in this game. Thanks for the video

[@iseekpeaceandtranquility]

"does not help noob player at all in this game" literally give new player a server to boost themselves into 245 ap which is hard to get without the existence of said server.

[@Calm_Chaos]

@@iseekpeaceandtranquility Not at all, I'm glad they've put this server in. Had a great time as a Guardian as she could walk into most places and cause damage. But from the start, you're running around like a headless chicken if these videos weren't around. Though I have given up on the game, as trying to get to 61 from 60 in a normal server it's as boring as hell on your own.

[@AlejandroGarciaJr]

Earlier this week I decided to redownload the game and I was wondering how on earth I’d stay competitive. This gives me an opportunity to catch up and you made it easy to understand. Thanks!

[@Strabun117]

Best guide bdo

[@voidNvain]

Thanks for showing me how to get the crap ;)

[@felinechat874]

Nicely done. Concise explanation indeed. This is what I needed. I would like to have the link to that Google document of recipes please if possible. But if not, it’s fine.

[@johncraigs7921]

Hi EvilDoUsHarm, i auto graduated my mystic recently and have a quest from fughar to exchange my tuvula weapon for something but jetina also has a similar quest, which is the better option? Love the vids btw

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Exchange with fughar first, he gives you the one to give jetina. It's confusing I know lol

[@Ratcaller]

Cheers Evil! Keep those vids comin :3

[@YourKrazyKing]

Thanks for the video m8

[@Im-oxo]

important to note that you actually get the PEN stats at Reform level 4, so it's essentially the same as levelling up normal gear with caphs

[@Symcy]

That's ture, but leveling TET to C20 with Caphras, to upgrade it to PEN doesn't make any sense. You would need 11k Caphras, and at that point it's cheaper to just buy PEN from MP. Cost for PEN armor from jetina: 1st=9,5b, 2nd=10,5b, 3rd=12,5b, 4th=15,5b. Weapon cost: 1st=7b, 2nd=9b, 3rd=11,5b I think it worth to go for 2 armor and 2 weapon parts from jetina ... it's cheaper than buying from MP. One could argue that you can't sell it later on MP, but why would you want to sell armor? You can just push it to C10 and make fallen god. That one you can then sell on MP.

[@kahashikun]

Not necessarily true for all gear . My Bheg's gloves at Reform Level 4 was 1 DP lower and 2 accuracy lower. At Reform Level 5 it was still lower in accuracy. Additionally, the stat bonuses (monster damage, damage reductions, etc.) are also lower.

[@contaim7227]

Why would your bhegs gloves be less but everyone else be the same? O.o need to see this 4 myself

[@DiaborMagics]

Also, you can get memory fragments by exchanging WORLD boss auras 1:1 after you have exchanged once for a weapon box. You don't need that many auras for weeklies for the crystals, so if you frequently boss hunt, you can stack up quite some memory fragments in a week just from this. I get like 60 - 80 memes a week from bosses. Depends on which spawns I make it to and some RNG. Quint/Muraka/Vell/Garmoth do not drop auras. I hope theyll implement the same thing for exchanging field boss auras at some point.

[@calvinvandermerwe9136]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy he posted!!! That could only mean it's time to play bdo!!

[@gannonwaring9876]

Man that's still going to be a massive grind though

[@button9]

Pro tip: unless you count yourself very lucky, just go for Griffon helm , as Giath is a pain to get auras for.

[@MastaBroshiX]

Learned this the hard way and gave up entirely lol

[@button9]

@@MastaBroshiX Yup, after a dozen regular giath scrolls and 3 awakened scrolls, I have one aura. I gave up, sold my TRI giath that I was holding onto for the level 5 and am now going the griffon route (of which I have 6 auras already without even really trying, just doing my dark rifts route).

[@Gingerbread22]

Maybe a tip to help you out. You can trade Dark Blood (sp?) the green item dark rift bosses drop. You can exchange them 1 for 1 for an boss aura. Then use the weekly for the Concentrated Crystals to upgrade your Giath's. I don't think most guides add that tip.

[@button9]

@@Gingerbread22 yeah, except there's no Giath exchange, just Kz, Kut, Nouv, Offin, and Karanda

[@Gingerbread22]

@@button9 Oh really? I just assumed it was everyone. I'm kind of surprised since the dark blood exchange is for turning in 100x of an aura for a gear piece. Bummer, my mistake.

[@agronas9565]

Great explanation

Thanks a lot for this video

[@yourbrojeeno]

Not all heroes wear capes

[@leakyfaucet4656]

You have gotten me through season and up to 62 in a week . You are the best. Does this still work ?

[@brianmyers13]

I'd also like to see a "What Stacks With What" that includes what kind of stacking there is; additive or cumulative, for example. Maybe it is as simple as it all stacks but it appears that like crystals on gear don't stack but like bonuses on different items do?

[@costifrancezu6612]

Great video

[@thisonelooksangry]

Hey @evildousharm do you lose crystals or caprahs when upgrading this gear to pen ? thank you for the great videos that you make as always

[@craignp007]

black desert seems fun with its combat and open world and many other features. But man, the whole gearing system is convoluted as hell and made to be boring. Basically playing a farm and market or slot machine simulator to gear up. Rather than getting gear and upgrades from fun activities like challenging boss fights or pvp. (like most mmo's) seeing all these end game gearing guides and systems leave me with even more questions and honestly make me second guess actually getting more into the game.

[@brianmyers13]

Can you do a "Weapons and armor for Dummies like Brian" at some point? Feel free to use my name. LOL. You do a fantastic job making this game more accessible so thank you. But I feel like I am missing something between beginner and Boss (for both a main and an alt). I followed your beginners guide; got the green armor, got and upgraded the Naru armor, and then traded it in for Narchillon. Now what? I cannot upgrade the Narchillion and it doesn't say it is TET. Do I need to get something else to TET to then go to Boss tier via the topic of this video? I assume that would be the same for alts since you can only get one set of Narchillion. ?

[@bevanlangford5012]

Narchillan Gear is placed midway between DUO and TRI Blackstar (think one better than boss gear), which puts it at about par with TRI boss. You cannot upgrade it. This video is covering a questline that was introduced to help people upgrade boss gear to the highest level. If you had exchanged your PEN Naru gear for PRI Tuvala, you would have been able to upgrade and follow this progression. Naru -> Upgrade with beginner stones to PEN -> Tuvala -> upgrade with Time stones to PEN (good luck) -> exchange to boss or via Jetina -> follow this guide and source the several billions of silver in stuff to get a PEN boss item! (A PEN Blackstar is still slightly better.....)

[@brianmyers13]

@@bevanlangford5012 Ahhh. Thanks!

[@Jasonolus]

Hi, thx for helping me finally understand this, i've come back to BDO 2 weeks ago. But tell me one thing when you exchange tuvala pen weapon, you got usable tet boss weapon? and then to upgrade it to PEN Yuo have to use reform stone? Do i understand this correctly?

[@MrVelnicasal]

nice video man, thnx... any news for a new class/character??

[@PhamVans]

You are so much better than that Chris Poli guy, have no idea how his SEO is so good on Google searches.

[@kuposceptre]

i always wanted to play this full term but i have been put of by so many people claiming it is the worse grind and the end game is really bad with pot luck on gear upgrades.

[@timit2thelimit]

Roll a character on the 22nd. The winter season is starting and it’s a great way to get started 😎

[@kuposceptre]

@@timit2thelimit i kinda like the look of witch =)

[@gothboi4ever]

Question. Why go through all of this to get +1 ap per upgrade? It doesn’t seem to do much however I am new so maybe I’m not understanding this system. Is there a reason for doing this?

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

More ap, more damage, faster kills, more money, faster upgrades, the cycle repeats

[@Sh0nX]

You don't need Black Magic Crystals, if you heat Sealed Black Magic Crystals, they will become Magical Shards too, so you can grind to get those, I get them in Cadry Ruins

[@spazn3905]

Is this still viable in 2024? Or is there some changes?

[@lazygamingjd]

Hey Levi! Please make a new video about this since the boss items were already combined to one. Thanks a lot!

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

It's on my to do list! I just re did the accessory questline guide!

[@Adrian890722]

NOT SURE im putting the ingrediants into the the heating but it just says its not working at all

[@aritosoto]

They updated the requirements. Now instead of opal, upgrading asks for Green, Blue, Red and Black Crystals

[@d3c4b55]

hello what is up guys evildousharm here today back with another black desert video

[@spikechang556]

Had a question... I tried to refund the exchange gear, my Dande katana, I want to turn it into a kutum instead. She doesn't give me the option? How can I go and exchange a kutum?

[@YC-tx3di]

So just to confirm. Once it's pen you can not exchange it to a different one?

[@facepaints89]

A little off topic but if I have several exchange coupons can I exchange more than one tuvala pen in a season? I think I have 3 sitting in my bank and this was the first season I went through the effort to pen everything

[@janis4847]

You didn't explain how to get the boss gear in the first place? I have Tuvala gear, how can I get boss gear out of it?

[@xxsoftraxx]

I was hopping you were going to talk about character tag and this, because i character tagged my character with that gear and the reform upgrade do not go over once tagged. Example is i tag my character and copy, and upgrade it a week later to reform 4 but i dont get those stat upgrade on the tagged character

[@contaim7227]

U have to recopy the weapon, it copied b4 u upgraded, its like a save file, u saved it when it was weaker, now u upgraded u have to make a new copy to copy the current stats. Think of it like a copy machine, it doesnt change ur files because u rewrote them a week later lol

[@contaim7227]

Can you answer me this though. Can u copy a dande and kzarka for a class and use it on a different class, only reason I ask is because class weapons are different, does it translate it to the class weapons that ur on?

[@xxsoftraxx]

@@contaim7227 but the machine does chance it if you enhance so its should be possible to transfer those stat. If we talk enhancing if it goes pen its pen for both tagged character and if it goes back tri its tri for both tag. Just a big sad that with the upgradable armor and weapon you dont get those stats after reform.

[@xxsoftraxx]

@@contaim7227 and on console it does translate to the other weapon on a tag

[@contaim7227]

@@xxsoftraxx well if it works like that, thats stupid, kinda made me rethink the gaurenteed pen quest, might just tap it instead. Cool so its not a problem to tag a nova from sorc main? Dont wanna re-pen anymore weapons lol

[@mlivesay88]

this guide left me with more questions than answers.

[@yanggang7927]

I have every reform stone In my inventory But its not showing up on reform stone menu to enhance my kutum

[@R3ar3ntry]

can i upgrade with a TET nouver that i bought from mp or enhanced myself or does it need to be a specific nouver from jetina?

[@Frogeramus]

Is this still relevant? The event note on this is from 2021

[@Al1boxx]

❤

[@mrblue251]

is this just for one piece of gear or can you do this over and over?

[@mecazor]

hi, i cant see the quest old moon guilds trade offer from jetina, is there a pre requisite to get that quest?

[@joshuasimon3851]

Hi how do you get the second and beyond stones? I keep trying to process but it only gives me the 1st reform stone. :/

[@Godsane]

This is great but u can not like caphra this gear right? So how do i get it maximum like stats out of it?

[@ObiWanShinobi777]

10:00 bro...i hope you will answer me, but you can only change pen tuvala to tet bossgear, if you converted the weapon to NON SEASON, is that correct?

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

correct, you'll have to wait until the end of the season for the pen tuvala to become normal

[@zorodex2570]

i dont get this option for weekly for jetina although i get the dailys for burning moonlight stone thing, how do i unlock it ? im level 59//

[@Si0Ro]

Is this possible for every character we play in season in the future ?

[@sanjifitness0829]

what if my awakening weapon already used caphras stone on it? how to clear it ?

[@Suiseggs69420]

How do u change the Option Menu Color? His is Light Blue, mine is yellow by default.

[@keldonator]

By finishing this gear would you be competitive in pvp?

[@MrInstaNoodles]

Not able to start the quest with a pen tuvala helmet from old season any ideas why?

[@journeyoflife9159]

Did my first round with this cost efficient for the first weapon/armor its fine but dunno if I will do anymore with this method

[@pambender8766]

What processing level is needed for making reform stones?

[@L3M0NPLEDGE]

uh, so i did the math. its 1.5b for the Sky or Earth Crystal for the first upgrade ALONE. with all the materials bought, if you can buy them, the first PEN you get will cost 5.9b. which yes, isnt bad. however, the next upgrade you do will cost substantially more because of the Old Moon vendor now needing 70 instead of 30. 50*70=3.5b, so your second item will now be 9.4b. still, not bad, but once you hit that threshold of your third upgrade needing 120 will cost you 6b alone. not including the 5.9b base cost. Pen Weapons on average sell for 6-7b, why would you spend 9.4b and subsequently 11.9b on the third and final upgrade when you could get both those items for less on the market? did i math wrong? am i missing something? that was for the weapons alone, imagine the fifth armor piece cost..

[@AkihitoTysko]

is it any Tet gear? and how do you get boss gear in general?

[@Nvidiax18300]

Can we back a the dandeliion classic? with a quest or something?

[@masbejo2466]

For helm just go for pen heve and caph it, its way cheaper than the boss helm.

[@journeyoflife9159]

Well now that I am Back need to Go through all this but thankfully I Had saved many of those needed items though I wonder if it really is worth to give out so many items looks darn expensive to me rn

[@Ahriien]

Could i just jump straight to the final upgrade or do i need to get reform 1,2,3,4 etc

[@ThatCharlesKid]

You have to do all 5 upgrades

[@Ahriien]

@@ThatCharlesKid thank you

[@kalebd4112]

I really hope you get back to me on this.. i have the season boss dim tree and it can be caphra'ed and such so i made the first tier of stone and cant reform it! I have it tagged to my sorc. Is that why i cant use the stone?..

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

I never tried using it tagged... it could be. Might be a better question for the support team

[@xjdog15]

Can I buy a tet weapon and exchange it for the replacement one

[@thatsomefluff1049]

Can you exchange all of your tuvala pen into tet boss or just 1

[@kotegawachitose]

can you only exchange 1 boss gear per season ?

[@keownechetty7238]

@evildousharm plz update this

[@LiViD999x]

can you caphras the pen that you get with this method?

[@tayyeb01234]

Is it only for one piece or can we do it for all pieces?

[@treysar3044]

Bosses drop a token that can be also xchanged for 3 magical shards

[@brasshound4442]

So you cannot caphra these things when they hit pen?

[@Whetss]

So if i am understanding this, it will take months and months of exchanging for the crystals to do all your pieces?

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Correct, time gated to 3 weeks per piece. Only 3-5 pieces are worth doing, depending on market prices at the time. The draw to this system is guaranteed upgrades (no RNG) as well as the idea that you can grind all the materials you need yourself, and don't have to buy anything from another player.

[@omgeeze]

does this work for blackstar, fallen god, or labreska?

[@KalebQi]

Yes but how do I get RNG carried for PEN Tuvala?

[@Godsane]

Can u melt down season Boss gear from like earlier seasons?

[@V2D678R]

can you not do this with a shai's sol?

[@crayolamanic1381]

Do we know how much the actual silver totals are for just the old moon pieces for one upgrade? It says it gets progressively more costly in Old Moon mats per exchange. It looks at first glance like it's going to end up being a real close balance to just buy pens off the CM and save the insane amount of headache here. Is this like the BDO answer to putting your Pens on a payment plan? 0.o

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

first weapon, first 2 armor is usually cheaper. The second weapon and third armor is usually break even. Last of each is a waste.

[@bamavery25]

My thoughts exactly I started the process not knowing all that's put in each step and it's cheaper just buying them off the CM

[@NotExtremeEnough]

Am I crazy or will this cost more than buying directly from the market?
