[johnknightt]

Yes, it needs a special crystal.
Here is a link that will show how to get that crystal.
https://grumpygreen.cricket/bdo-costumes/
Scroll down to where it mentions "Ancient Spirit’s Crystal - Swiftness, Valor, Viper"

Also....
Use Equipment Tailoring Coupon to transfuse the (Noble Suit, Travel Wear, Formal Suit, etc….) to turn into a Pearl Outfit when changed it will go from regular on person inventory to Pearl Inventory.
Use Heating on that Transfused (Noble Suit, Travel Wear, Formal Suit, etc….) to get your crystal.
Take off your Pearl Outfit and use the Black Spirit Claw to Enhance it to accept crystals.
Now, that particular crystal slot should be available to that character only. Since they are the one wearing the outfit.

thanks for the link/answer
if i understand it right this socked is a scam/trap, because the crystal effect is not family wide but character bound, if i want it on all my toons they all need a pearl outfit, no thx not going to waist money/time on it anymore

Hi, John Knight. Actually, your understanding is backward.

You only need one of the special crystals for all your presets and all your characters family wide. For instance, if you have five crystal presets, you can use that same crystal in all five presets, and the crystal cannot break if you die.

The only part of the process which is outfit bound and thus character bound is the claw to put a socket into an outfit. But the claws can be purchased off the central market or gained free from several zones in BDO as drops.

shai have the pearl outfit with the socked, the slot show, putted the crystal in all presets, +2 speed, but none of my toons get the + 2 speed, only the shai, thats why i say its not family wide

Sounds like you only installed the claw on your shai's outfit. The claw only adds a socket to the outfit you used.
If your shai switched to another outfit, it won't have the socket either until you use the claw.
Every outfit needs the socket added to make use of the crystal.

For instance, my Guardian has six outfits with sockets. That means my guardian had to use 6 of the claws.
My main awakened witch has four outfits with sockets. That means she had to use four claws.
My other fifteen characters all have outfits with sockets. That means they all had to use claws.
They can all share the same crystal on all presets, but every outfit which wants to use the crystal needs the claws to add the socket.

The claws are not purchased with real life money. They're purchased for silver on the central market or as drops in various zones :)

claws are not the problem i have plenty of those, but the fact that every 1 need a outfit is

but in the end i was right, its a trap/scam/not family wide

That's ridiculous. You are not correct. And Pearl Abyss gives out tons of free outfits to boot.

Yes, it has never been family wide.
Each character will have to create the socket in their Pearl Outfit to be able to use the crystal.
The advantage over what it was previously is....
Previously, each character had to create the outfit socket slot, get the crystal, and socket it in the outfit.
Now, each character only has to create the socket in the Pearl Outfit.
They can share the same crystal.

You're still delusional. They gave away a free outfit just last week, the week you were whining about your delusional beliefs.
