Black Desert Online - Blackstar & Fallen God Gear Guide
The Blackstar & Fallen God gear has replaced BDO's "boss gear" in being the most powerful, and this guide will show you how to acquire these end-game weapon & armor pieces!
Blackstar is a high-level set at Black Desert Online. You’ll definitely meet them as the game progresses, so it’s time to take a closer look at them. Blackstars always compete with boss equipment, and even cheaper. The armors can also be upgraded to Fallen God armor, which is currently the best armor available in the game.
In this guide, you will find how to get Blackstar armors & weapons or Fallen God Armor, you will find all their data in a super, clear table, and you will find detailed help on their enhancement too. If you can’t find what you’re looking for here, I recommend our Accessory Set Guide or take a look at our Armor Set Guide.

Blackstar Armor Set
Blackstar-type gear parts are parts that are worth replacing your existing Boss gears. It basically offers better stats than basic boss gears, but keep in mind that Blackstar Gears can’t be equipped with Caphras Stones, so if you look at this, a PEN Blackstar is equal to a PEN Boss Gear with a Caphras Level of 20. So BS is a cheaper alternative. In addition, Fallen God Armor parts can be made from them later (more details below), and also offers Blackstar Armor Set Bonus:
- Blackstar Armor 2-Set Effect: Monster Damage Reduction +5
- Blackstar Armor 3-Set Effect: Debuff Resistance Against Monsters +10%
- Blackstar Armor 4-Set Effect: Max HP +100

Blackstar Weapons
Blackstar weapons can also be good exchanges for Boss weapons. As with armors, it can be said here that it is a cheaper alternative to Boss Weapons and that it replaces C20 level weapons. And what’s also very strong in favor of BSs is the Extra AP Against Monsters, which gives you much more than Kzarka or Offin.

How to obtain Blackstar Gear & Weapons
Blackstar parts can be traded on the Central Market, but if you want to get them for yourself, you can already have one for yourself after a series of quests. In this section, I have gathered all the information on how you can do this and what you need for it.
Requirement: Lv. 56+ , ‘The Three Legendary Blacksmiths of Mediah’ Knowledge
Prepare: Remnants of the Rift x1, x3 Boss weapon or armor, Specter’s Energy x1 (except Weapons)
Remember: a character can only make one type of piece once
The Three Legendary Blacksmiths of Mediah knowledge: This knowledge is found in the Mediah Adventure Journal II and is obtained from NPC Tulum at the very end of a series of 13 quests in ‘[Lv. 51] Mediah: The Legendary Blacksmith’ chain after you complete the renewed Mediah Main quests once you reach Lv. 56 or higher. You can find it under the Suggested tab inside the ‘O’ window.
Blackstar Questline
Once you have met all the conditions and acquired all the required items, start the quest by Pressing RMB on the Remnants of the Rift to navigate to the quest NPC (to NPC Martha Kiyen). If you need help with the series of quests, we’ve included a gallery just in case where you can see step-by-step the completion of the quests.
- 1. Pick the relevant quest from NPC Martha Kiyen.
- 2. Navigate to the location, speak with the NPC and give her the Remnants of the Rift.
- 3. Navigate to the marked location, and interact with the Large Black Meteorite & Black Meteorite Fragment. Then go back to Martha Kiyen.
- 4. Interact with the Cow Filled with Black Energy, and go back to Martha Kiyen.
- 5. Navigate to NPC Gorgath, and speak with him. A mob called Trace of Corruption will be spawned, defeat it and take the next quest from him.
- 6. Navigate to the Caphras’ Journal and interact with it.
- 7. Now go back to NPC Gorgoth, and speak with him.
- 8. Select a quest. I choose the Altar of the Fallen God, because its faster than Tarif. 260 AP Recommended for this, while 150 AP recommended for Tarif.
- 9. Interact with the Star’s End Brazier. Now you have to hand over the item called Eye of Desolation.
- 10. Navigate to the marked location, watch the animation and then defeat the monster. After that, talk with the Black Spirit, and with the Star’s End Brazier again.
- 11. Talk to Kanobas.
- 12. Talk to Barattan Lancer.
- 13. Talk to Dorim Morgrim, then with the stone behind him.
- 14. Interact with the stone behind Dorim Morgrim.
- 15. Finish the questline with Dorim Morgrim, and receive your reward.
So the quest sequence starts at Martha Kiyen, where you have to pick up the quest you want to get a part of in the BS parts. In the case of weapons, it is important to note that you will receive a weapon specified for the class with which you complete missions, you cannot choose from them later. With one character each mission can be completed only once, if you want more, you can prepare with alt characters!
In the middle of the quest series, you have to choose between two milestones: To the Altar of the Fallen God or To Tarif. To the Altar of Fallen God is the fastest way, but the recommended AP here is 260. To Tarif is way longer than the other, but requires only 150 AP, because you have to face a weaker boss, but requires tons of monster kills. I suggest you take the fastest milestone because even if you do it with an alt character, you can ask someone to help kill the boss, as this can also be done at a party.
Enhancing Blackstars
Black Desert Online – Enhancing, Failstacks & Gear Progression
Blackstar parts can be upgraded from + -0 to +15 with
Obtaining
- Defeat monsters or gathering
- Looting Field Bosses
- Hunting Khalks or whales
- Manufacturing Remnants of the Rift
- exchange Destructive Illusion x15 via O’Arma
- Complete [Weekly] Delivering Essence of Tunta quest
- Node investment: Star’s End node (Star’s End), Crypt of Resting Thoughts node (O’draxxia), Mountain of Division node (O’draxxia). This is the best passive way to obtain stones, I highly recommend it. Put as high-level workers as possible on the nodes, because it takes a lot of time to get 1 stone from them.
- Grinding Black Stone (Weapon) or Black Stone (Armor), rare drop

Fallen God Armor Sets
It can be stated without any doubt that Fallen God armor is the best armor currently in play. Currently, only the armor can be made, but the rest of the parts are expected to arrive soon.

How to obtain Fallen God Armor
Fallen God’s Armor can only be obtained through crafting. There are four ways to obtain it, these are:
- PEN (V)
- PEN (V)
- PEN (V)
Obtaining
- Heat x100 Embers of Despair at the Processing Window (L)
- Defeating Turos (rare drop)
- Can be purchased at the Central Market, but there are plenty of PO for it
- Ulutuka’s drop
Obtaining
- Defeating Turos (the average drop is about 2/h)
- Ibedor’s Scroll drop (there may be some very, very small chance of this)
Once you acquire both crafting materials, you can craft Fallen God’s Armor by accepting a quest from NPC Dorin Morgrim at Helms Post. This quest is repeatable but it can be accepted once per day. The condition for the quest is level 56+. The quest is pretty simple, you just have to hand over the necessary items, interact with Dorim Morgrim, and the stone behind it to get the new armor in return.
And there’s another way to craft the Armor, but I’ll write this directly separately because it’s the hardest way and almost no one chooses. For this, you will need
