Sovereign Weapons Guide - BDFoundry (2024)

Introduction

There are 3 different methods which can be used to create a Sovereign Weapon. Each method requires different items, and depends on your situtation and current gear.

Once you have the items needed for one of the crafting methods, you can obtain the crafting quest from the “Bonghwang Statue” on top of the Land of the Morning Light’s Mount Ahshi.

Method 1:

Combine PEN (V) Blackstar weapon with Primordial Flame obtainable from the Black Shrine

Method 2:

Combine TWO PEN (V) Blackstar weapons

Method 3:

Combine PEN (V) Blackstar Weapon + Caphras Lv. 20 Boss Weapon + Gem of Twilight

• This method is the most expensive option
• There is currently no information regarding how to obtain the Gem of Twilight
• For the boss weapon you can use a PEN Kzarka Mainhand Weapon (Caphras Lv.20), PEN Offin Tett’s Radiant Mainhand Weapon (Caphras Lv. 20), or PEN Dandelion Awakening Weapon (Caphras Lv. 20)

Enhancing Sovereign Weapons

Sovereign weapons have a total of 10 enhancement levels, but unlike other weapons, they do not go from +0 up to +10 and instead use the following names:

• PRI (I) – DUO (II) – TRI (III) – TET (IV) – PEN (V) HEX (VI) – SEP (VII) – OCT (VIII) – NOV (IX) – DEC (X)

Exclusive materials are required to enhance the weapons and the developers explained that these will take time to collect. The enhancement process will not be skippable for players with lots of silver saved to ensure it is fair and balanced. It will also utilize the ancient anvil system so that if you fail to enhance the weapon a certain number of times, you will have a 100% enhancement chance.

It is also worth noting that the J’s Hammer of Loyalty cannot be used on Sovereign Weapons.

Sovereign Weapon Stats

Below is an example of the possible stats for the Sovereign Awakening Weapons.

This data was collected from the item descriptions shown in the Heidel Ball 2024 presentation and may change on release.

Sovereign Weapon Reform Effects

In addition to their superior stats, the Sovereign weapons can be reformed to have an additional 5 effects.

These 5 effects are chosen by the player and are added to the weapon or swapped by using a special reform stone.

Some of the “core” (common) effects such as Extra Damage, HP, Damage Reduction, etc. will be easier to obtain. But more unique effects may be harder to acquire.

Sovereign Weapon Visual Effect

Sovereign Weapons have a yellow visual glow effect, similar to the red effect of a Blackstar, or purple effect of a Godr-Ayed weapon. The visual effect becomes brighter and more vibrant depending on the enhancement level.

Unlike other weapons, the visual glow effect also works with weapon skins equipped, and you can toggle the glow effect ON/OFF.

Free TET and PEN Blackstar Weapon

As there are 2 Sovereign weapons available (mainhand and awakening), you need a minimum of 2 PEN Blackstar weapons in order to create both of them, or for veteran players, you may be able to collect all 4 PEN Blackstar weapons required for the second crafting method.

To help you getting started towards crafting your own primordial tier weapon, all players can obtain 1 FREE TET (IV) Blackstar weapon and 1 FREE PEN (V) Blackstar weapon of their choice.

For new players, I would recommend to select the Awakening Weapon for your TET Blackstar choice, and the Mainhand Weapon as your PEN Blackstar choice.

The weapon boxes can then be obtained from your (Y) Challenge Rewards

Once you have selected the Weapon Box, it can be opened on any class to receive a weapon suitable for that class.

• Shai class cannot open the Blackstar Awakening Boxes.

• Blackstar weapons obtained from the box cannot be registered on the Central Market.

• Only non-season characters can open the Blackstar weapon box and equip the claimed weapon.
