With the weapon upgrade discounts provided by the Nebula Weapon Upgrade Stones in the upcoming in-game event, this is a great time to retire the old paths, help everyone upgrade faster, and get players into more of the content they want to be playing. The official team think the player experience would be better served by being able to play in the new Silverfrost content, while also removing some of the weapon upgrade path complexity and short-term upgrade costs.
While Pirate and Siren are considered to generally be cheaper routes to take, it requires continuous farming of lower-level dungeons to obtain the necessary materials. When NCsoft looked at average player progression at the time Silverfrost was going to come out, they made the decision to give players an option on how to progress, and kept the old path. To give you some more background on our decision, in the original Korean version of Blade & Soul these weapon paths were retired at the release of the Silverfrost Mountains expansion. These stones can be used in place of an Evolution weapon to reduce the amount of materials and gold required for weapon upgrades, and can reduce your upgrade costs by 10–40%.
Part of the reason for this change is that in an upcoming in-game event you’ll be able to reduce your upgrade costs with a new item called a Nebula Weapon Upgrade Stone. The path from True Pirate will remain unchanged and can only progress to True Breeze. To clarify, True Profane will now only be able to progress to Oathbreaker and True Siren will only be able to progress to True Oathbreaker. On June 1 the final tiers of Moonwater Plains-the Siren and Pirate weapon paths-will be retired, and any weapons on those paths will be diverted to the Silverfrost Mountains path at the next applicable evolution. Check below for the details:Ĭurrently, there are two paths players can take while upgrading their weapons, which are described as Moonwater Plains and Silverfrost Mountains-named after the areas you collect the materials for your weapons. Today NCsoft has announced a heads-up on a few progression changes coming to Blade & Soul in next few weeks, including the weapon upgrade paths and some new ways to improve your weapons with gems.
