Naru gear can be enhanced to PEN (V) level. Beginner Black Stones are used for enhancement, and plenty can be obtained throughout the main questline.

▲ Beginner Black Stones needed to enhance Naru gear can be obtained via the main questline.
Up until PRI (I) level, Naru gears’ enhancement level will not decrease when enhancement fails. However, from DUO (II) level, the enhancement level can decrease by one with each enhancement failure.
As Naru gear has a low enhancement difficulty, it is simple to enhance the gear to its highest enhancement level, PEN (V), just by using the Beginner Black Stones obtained through the main quests.

▲ Beginner Black Stones needed to enhance Naru gear can be obtained via the main questline.
- It is recommended to upgrade the following six pieces to PEN (V): Naru Main Weapon / Sub-weapon / Helmet / Armor / Gloves / Shoes.
Although Beginner Black Stones can also be obtained by processing regular Black Stones, it is recommended to only use those obtained via the main quests. Sufficient rewards are provided through quests to get your gear to PEN (V) level.
Black Stones can be registered on the Central Market and sold for silver, and used for many other purposes throughout the game, so it is best to hold onto them for a while and stick to using quest-obtained Beginner Black Stones for enhancing.
※ How to Restore Naru Gear Max Durability
If you don’t have enough max durability left due to multiple enhancement failures for your Naru equipment, you can use the same type of unenhanced Naru equipment to recover their max durability.
ex) A Naru Longsword is required to repair the max durability of a Naru Longsword

▲ Go to Blacksmith → Repair → Recover Max Durability to recover the depleted max durability of your Naru equipment.
- Enhancing Naru accessories is for later
Whilst the major Naru gear pieces are easy to enhance, Naru accessories follow the same rules as regular accessories, meaning they are destroyed upon enhancement failure.
It is recommended to begin enhancing accessories only once you have a surplus of Beginner Black Stones, or not at all, and to switch to other accessories obtained through the main quests later in the game.
- What to do with remaining Beginner Black Stones
Once all weapons and defense gear, excluding accessories, are enhanced to PEN (V) level, there are no essential needs for Beginner Black Stones.
In this case, you may try to enhance accessories, or you can sell the remaining Beginner Black Stones at a shop for Silver.
