‘Arthdal Chronicles: Three Foundations (hereinafter Arthdal Chronicles)’ introduced the ‘Black Night 4th Archipelago’ in its massive June update, along with a slew of new equipment collection challenges. Many users are struggling to complete these due to the requirement of registering equipment of various levels. So, what are the equipment collection levels for the Black Night 4th Archipelago? KookminTree has compiled the relevant information and tips.

Archipelago 4 collections require gear ranging from level 118 to 124

These Black Night 4th Archipelago collections require various types of 'Tranquility' and 'Nightlight' gear obtained by defeating monsters between levels 118 and 124. The problem is that even for top-ranking players, level 120 is effectively the ceiling for efficient grinding. Consequently, it is impossible to obtain the gear dropped by level 122 and 124 monsters, making it impossible to complete the collections.

So, how should you fill them? We highly recommend utilizing 'Scribe's Stamps'. In Arthdal Chronicles, Scribe's Stamp items can replace equipment for collection registration. The strategy is to grind for the level 118 and 120 gear, and use Scribe's Stamps to fill the level 122 and 124 slots.

Let's use a recommended set as an example. 'Wisdom of Nightlight' (Attack +1, Max HP +30) typically requires a +7 Tranquil Heavy Helm (Lv. 118), Nightlight Cloth Helm (Lv. 118), Nightlight Heavy Helm (Lv. 120), and a Nightlight Light Helm (Lv. 120). Among these, you only need to use a Scribe's Stamp for the Nightlight Light Helm, which requires hunting level 122 monsters, and obtain the other three through grinding.

In addition, 'Depth of Nightlight' (Attack +2, PvP Evasion +1) requires a +8 Tranquil Cloth Boots (Lv. 118), Tranquil Heavy Shoulder (Lv. 120), Tranquil Cloth Helm (Lv. 118), Nightlight Light Boots (Lv. 124), and a Nightlight Cloth Shoulder (Lv. 118). Again, use a Scribe's Stamp only for the Nightlight Light Boots that require hunting level 124 monsters, and obtain the rest through grinding. Using this method, you can complete a significant amount of equipment collections. Refer to the list and levels for the 4th Archipelago equipment collections below.

Pro Tip: Hit the Curse of the Archipelago Resistance 6 threshold

Entering the Black Night 4th Archipelago inflicts the 'Curse of the Archipelago' debuff. This debuff reduces your accuracy by 25, damage reduction by 25%, damage against normal monsters by 30%, and damage against boss monsters by 30%. In reality, you cannot proceed with grinding, PvP, or boss raids while this debuff is active.

To remove the Curse of the Archipelago debuff, you need a 'Curse of the Archipelago Resistance' of 6. To meet this condition, you need a +4 or higher Glory Knot, Moonlight Knot, or Slaughterer's Knot, or a +6 or higher Red Magatama Knot. The most affordable options are the +6 Red Magatama Knot or +4 Glory Knot, so purchase and use those. Sometimes players are unaware of this condition and equip a +3 Slaughterer's Knot or Moonlight Knot; be careful, as this will leave you with the Curse of the Archipelago debuff and put you at a significant disadvantage in combat.
