[Guide de l'aventurier] Extraction | Black Desert NA/EU (2024)

Black stones, magic crystals, Caphras Stones, reform stones, and Lightstones are all valuable materials that can be reused once extracted.

Alternatively, you can also obtain Cron Stones or Valks’ Cry items by extracting them from Pearl outfits.

Talk to the Blacksmith NPCs in cities to check the different extraction options.

Black Stones

You can get back Black Stones used to enhance your equipment through the Extract Black Stone option in the extraction menu.

You are guaranteed to get all the Black Stones used within the safe enhancement bracket. For equipment that has been enhanced beyond the safe enhancement bracket, instead of all of them, only a certain number of Black Stones will be extracted.

As there’s always a chance to fail enhancements outside the safe enhancement bracket, you’ll realize how inefficient it is to extract Black Stones from equipment pieces of high enhancement level, if you consider all the Black Stones that have been consumed on failed enhancement attempts.

Due to this, the most efficient way to use Black Stones you might want back, would be to only enhance equipment pieces up to the highest safe enhancement level, then extract them when you want to switch them. This way, you won’t lose any Black Stones.

▲ Note that the item you're extracting Black Stones from will be destroyed in the process.

➤ You can read more about this feature in the [Enhancement] page.

Outfits

You can extract Valks’ Cry and Cron Stones from Pearl outfits obtained from the Pearl Shop, login rewards, and events.

▲ Check out the extraction menus of the blacksmith or armor vendors

Valks' Cry is an item that increases your enhancement success rate by "+1". It stacks separately from your base enhancement success rate, providing an additional increase on top of it.

Cron Stones prevent your equipment's enhancement level from dropping on a failed enhancement attempt for equipment at DUO (II) level or above. The number of Cron Stones needed depends on the item you're enhancing.

Read the item’s tooltip to see how many Valks’ Cry and Cron Stones you can get from it.

▲ The Pearl outfit's description shows how many Valks' Cry or Cron Stones you can acquire upon extraction.

Caphras Stones

Caphras Stones can be extracted from equipment improved with Caphras enhancement

When extracting Caphras Stones, only 95% of the Caphras Stones infused into the equipment piece are extracted.In addition, 100,000 Silver are paid for each Caphras Stone to be extracted.

After you’ve extracted the Caphras Stones from the equipment piece, the item will not be destroyed, and its normal enhancement level will be kept. However, it will lose all the bonuses obtained from Caphras enhancement.

➤ You can read more about this in the [Caphras Enhancement] page.

Reform Stones

Equipment upgraded via reform stones can be returned to its original state by extracting the reform stone.
Extracting the reform stone is also necessary if you want to sell the equipment piece.

Certain materials are consumed when extracting these stones, and the type of material consumed depends on the type of equipment.
Please check the table below for details.
