The level required to awaken is 65, which the team understand is a tall order.The succession system is scheduled to be released ASAP in the first half of 2019. With data from the awakened characters, the team can tweak the succession system to make sure it is balanced. The team decided not to release both awakening and succession systems together due to various reasons, but most importantly it is about the issue of balancing.New weapons will be provided to characters after awakening and succession.The awakening update was added now instead of introducing another new playable class is to make sure the game remains fun for existing players, especially the veterans.The idea of having unique class names for awakened characters is to clearly showcase the nature of the characters’ new abilities.While characters in Black Desert Online can switch between the original weapon and the awakened ones, awakened characters in Black Desert Mobile can only stick with the new awakened weapon type. While Black Desert Online also has the awakening system, the main difference is that Black Desert Mobile will soon have a succession system which allows characters to use their original weapons.
