In Black Desert, a new system for weapons has been teased. Accordingly, each class is supposed to receive very specific weapons that even change abilities…
Now it’s time for a scythe!
In Black Desert, there are many different types of weapons, most of which can be used by multiple classes simultaneously. For example, Valkyries and Warriors share one-handed swords, Sorcerers and Witches share staffs, and so forth. Although there are also some classes that completely dominate their weapon type (like the Ranger), the developers at PearlAbyss want to take it a step further: Each class is supposed to get an exclusive weapon type! Some concept ideas have already been shared; Sorcerers will get a scythe, and Giants will get Iron Fists, while Warriors can use greatswords.
The weapons will be able to do even more than just look impressive. The “Awakening” weapons are supposed to modify a class’s abilities and thus provide completely new gameplay options. While there are no concrete statements yet about how these adjustments will look, a separate talent tree for the weapons would also be conceivable – similar to what is planned with the Artifact weapons in World of Warcraft.
