BLACK DESERT Introduces Succession for PS4 and Xbox One

In today’s free content update, Pearl Abyss introduced a new skill system, Succession to Black Desert on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. 

Succession gives Adventurers the ability to abandon their past and lay down their Awakening weapons, choosing to take up their original weapons, which are now bestowed with new skills and more powerful variations. Currently, Succession is only available for the Warrior, Sorceress, Ranger and Beserker classes, but will come to additional classes in the future. 

Several Black Desert in-game events are available now to help prepare Adventurers for Succession:

• Players will receive rewards for reaching certain levels above 56 in the Warrior, Sorceress, Ranger or Beserker classes, such as additional battle EXP scroll, additional skill EXP scroll, gold bars and advice of Valks.
• Adventurers can receive a skill EXP buff that last for three hours by finding and talking to the Mystery Knight, who is known to appear randomly on the battle ground
• The limited-time Hot Time event is back from 2pm until midnight every weekday and all day on weekends. During this time, Adventurers will get an additional 100% battle EXP and 30% skill EXP, and gathering Adventurers in one place will increase the drop rate of black crystal fragments.
