[Gameplay] Guaranteed PEN (V) Boss Gear

Starting the Quest

Requirements
– Lv. 60 or higher character.
– Complete the quest A Cry for Help from the Suggested tab of the Quest window (hotkey: O), offered via the Black Spirit, as well as the quest Old Moon Guild's Trade Offer.

You can start the PEN (V) boss gear questline by going to the Suggested tab via the Black Spirit with a character that meets the requirements and accepting the quest [PEN (V) Boss Gear] The Best Deal.

If you cannot find the quest, remember to check to see if you have completed the quests A Cry for Help and Old Moon Guild's Trade Offer.

To proceed with the quests to receive reformable TET (IV) boss gear, you need either PEN (V) Tuvala gear that was converted to be usable by normal characters, or TET (IV) boss gear.

Please note that season characters cannot do these quests.

Getting the Upgradeable TET (IV) Boss Gear

The following gear can be exchanged with Jetina to get the upgradeable TET (IV) boss gear:
– PEN (V) Tuvala gear (converted)
– TET (IV) boss gear

Hand over a TET (IV) boss gear or PEN (V) Tuvala gear to get an upgradeable piece of boss gear through the Old Moon’s resplendent gear quests offered by Jetina.
When you hand over a TET (IV) boss gear, you will get the upgradeable version of the same TET (IV) boss gear.
When you hand over PEN (V) Tuvala gear, you can choose one of the pieces of boss gear available for that slot.

e.g.)
- Hand over a TET (IV) Giath's Helmet = Get an upgradable TET (IV) Giath's Helmet
- Hand over a PEN (V) Tuvala Helmet = Pick either the upgradeable TET (IV) Giath's Helmet or the Griffon's Helmet.

Note that you can exchange only once per gear slot per family.

You cannot have Caphras enhancement done on the gear pieces, and you cannot register the item on the Central Market. Once you exchange an item for a specific gear slot, then you cannot exchange it for another item of the same slot.

Weapons are given as boxes, so you can move them to the character you want.

Upgrading the Gear

Upgradeable TET (IV) boss gear can be upgraded from Reform Lv. I to V using special reform stones. There are two types of reform stones depending if it is for weapons or armors.
e.g.) Kzarka weapon can be upgraded with Resplendent Boss Weapon Reform Stone, while Dim Tree armor can be upgraded with Resplendent Boss Armor Reform Stone.

The reform stones can be made by “Heating” all the required items in the Processing (L) window.

Exchanging for the PEN (V) Boss Gear

After upgrading your gear by five reform levels, accept and complete the Old Moon’s Brilliant quest via Jetina to receive your very own PEN (V) boss gear.

You can use Caphras Enhancement on your PEN (V) Boss Gear, or use it to craft the Fallen God’s Armor, but cannot register it on the Central Market.

Changing for a Different Boss Gear

If you haven’t upgraded your exchanged boss gear, you can opt to exchange one piece per slot for a different type of boss gear per family.
e.g.) Upgradeable TET (IV) Dim Tree Spirit’s Armor → Upgradeable TET (IV) Red Nose’s Armor

With the piece you seek to change in your inventory, head over to Tarif and speak with Yisar Pjetyo to accept the quest to exchange your piece of boss gear.

You can only exchange one piece per slot per family, and it has to be gear for the Guaranteed PEN (V) Boss Gear questline (i.e., upgradeable TET (IV) Boss Gear that cannot be registered on the Central Market).

You cannot change your gear if it’s been upgraded 1 level or more.
