Black Desert Online offers every hero starting at level 56 a new Awakening weapon along with new skills. In Korea, a feature is coming that unlocks new skills for the basic weapon, providing a sort of second Awakening. Read here how it works.
In Black Desert Online, every player at level 56 is excited, because finally there is a new weapon. The so-called “Awakening weapon” is a new weapon, such as a large scythe for the previously unarmed Sorceress or a two-handed sword instead of the usual sword-and-shield combo of the Warrior.
The problem was, developers and players found; as soon as the hero unlocked their Awakening weapon, they only used that. The “basic weapon” remained unused. Now, they want to address this with a “second Awakening”. This is supposed to empower the basic weapon.
Black Desert Online – Awakening before Awakening
Thanks to the new gameplay mechanic “Rahm’s Enlightenment”, players in Korea receive three new skills for their basic weapon. One of them is the primary skill, while the other two are secondary abilities.
The secondary skills can be combined with the main skill to create a new skill. This ability is as powerful as the Awakening skills. You can see how these skills look in action in this video from Korea.
Due to these new skills, basic weapons will also become more attractive and need not shy away from the Awakening weapons. When the new feature will come to the Western version is still unclear. Likewise, the release of the new class Mystic, a female version of the fighter. You can view the character creation options of the new heroine in the following article.
