Black Desert Online – Enhancing Armor and Weapons up to +15

by Falagar / Articles, Black Desert Online / 03 Nov 2019

To reach an enhancement level of +15 on weapons and armor you continue to use black stones as before. This time however you can fail at enhancing and a clever use of failstacks can save you quite a bit of money. What you need to do is start building failstacks on items you can scarp or sell to increase the chance of success on the gear you wish to enhance.

When you start building your first failstacks you should use items which are plentiful and cheap, as this will save you money in the long run. One such item is the Reblath weapon you can get from the blacksmith in Velia. The simplest way is to use a +14 Reblath to build failstacks and when it hits +15 you can pay 100.000 silver to have it purified and reduced back down to +14.

You can talk to the following NPCs to perform Gear Purification:

Velia: Ottavio Ferre

Heidel: Eil

Calpheon: Leona

Altinova: Zigmund

Valencia: Saya Nesser

Grána: Merindora

Force enhancement

You can also choose to force an enhancement. To do so you will need extra black stones, depending on the level of your gear. When you force enhance you will lose a considerable amount of durability, from 30 up to 100, which you need to restore. In general, it is better to build failstacks and then enhance items. However, in some instances, it could be better to force an enhance, such as from +7 to +8 on a cheap weapon.
