Hello Adventurers, This is the Black Desert Console Service Team.  

We're informing you of the latest update applied after the scheduled maintenance on Wednesday, October 4th.

This update brings Maegu Awakening, Nodewar/Conquest war improvements & Mythical Dream Horses.

Adventurer's, with this update we hope you will enjoy it & create more wonderful adventures in the game.

(Last Updated: 1/4/2024 08:54 UTC)

Added exchange items to Golden Seal - [Imperial Training].
You can exchange Golden Seals - [Imperial Training] x12 with Variel at the Old Wisdom Tree for Powder of Ascension x1.

Awakening Maegu has arrived for all adventurers!

Awakening Maegu is a melee class that utilizes fast speed and smooth directional changes to overwhelm enemies, the opposite of the ranged attacks of her Succession. However, her ability to approach enemies in Succession has been incorporated into her Awakening skills. This was done so that she can solely rely on her Awakening skills, instead of constantly switching back to her main weapons skills.

Awakening Maegu has a “Spiritforged" state. When using skills such as “Emberclaw Slash”, “Emberclaw Torrent”, and “Emberclaw Finale”, she enters the “Spiritforged” state. This makes her next skills even more powerful. Unlike other methods that require a change in state or the use of other resources, you will automatically activate the “Spiritforged“ version of skills after the aforementioned skills. As long as you keep the combo going, the “Spiritforged” state will be maintained. So, we expect Awakening Maegu to utilize extended combos to keep the attack going.

We would like to thank all the adventurers who have been waiting for the Awakening Maegu, and we hope you enjoy it.

Node Rotation by Tier

To freshen up things for all our adventurers who've been enjoying Node Wars, we decided to change the days Node Wars is held for each tier. We mentioned in the Global Lab that we broadened the number of participants per tier, but after receiving your feedback, we adjusted those numbers downward accordingly. This is to ensure steadily growing guilds can organically consider participating in different tiers. We've maintained the number of 100-participant nodes and adjusted the numbers for more flexible participation as well..

• Changed the number of participants according to the changes in tiers and war days.

Occupying Lord's Guild (Alliance) Participation in Node War

The guild of the lord in occupation of a territory was previously unable to participate in Node Wars held in the same territory. However, many adventurers shared their concern in how this limited the selection of Node Wars an occupying Lord's guild (alliance) could participate in. To alleviate such concerns, we decided to change this rule and thus allow for guilds/alliances of the occupying lord of a territory to now be able to participate in Node Wars occurring in the same territory.

• Changed so an occupying lord's guild/alliance can now participate in Node Wars occurring in the same occupied territory.
  
  • Participation opportunities remain fixed to twice per week regardless of victory/defeat/liberation for the occupying lord's guild/alliance and will reset at the end of Conquest Wars every Saturday.
    
    

Node War Location Changes

• Changed the location of certain nodes for Node Wars.

Star's End		Ancado Coast
Abandoned Monastery		Rhutum Outstation

• Removed the "Bashim Base" node and added the "Pilgrim's Sanctum: Fast" node for Node Wars. 

Annex Construction by Tier

Depending on the tier of the Node War, annexes available for operation will be set. For adventurers who are new to Node Wars, we encourage you to gradually grasp the fundamental rules and enjoy a more diverse experience as you progress to higher tiers and unlock these annexes. Of course, mastering all the annexes is necessary when reaching the final tier, just as it was before. Therefore, we will continue to provide content to assist novice adventurers in naturally learning how to utilize them.

On the other hand, Tier 1 Node Wars lacking defense annexes can be susceptible to "boosting." We understand that revealing the fort's location before the war even commences is an aspect that requires attention, and as such, we are devising measures to address this.

• Changed to allow the construction of the following annexes according to each node tier.

Max Number of Annexes per Tier

• The followings are the max number of annexes that can be constructed at each tier. They can be utilized according to the strategy within the available grids.

Annex and Fort Durability Adjustments per Tier

Annex structures for Tier 2 (previously Tier 1 Intermediate) Node Wars were identical to those available in Tier 1 (previously Tier 1 Beginner) Node Wars. To differentiate between the two tiers, we adjusted the durability and stats of annex and fort structures to levels appropriate to Tier 2 Node Wars. We also received a variety of opinions regarding the usage of Indomitable Flag for Tiers 3-5 (previously Tiers 2-4) Node Wars, and thus adjusted the flag's durability to numbers fitting to the number of participants in each tier.

• Adjusted the max durability of annexes and forts per tier.

Stat Limits per Tier

We've increased the number of participants mainly for tiers 3 and 4 (previously 2 and 3), and, in order to give everyone a fighting chance in now larger-scaled battles, have adjusted the stat limits accordingly. We've also received a lot of feedback from our adventurers regarding the Extra Attack limits for Tiers 1-2 Node Wars (previously tiers 1 beginner & intermediate). Items relatively unknown to up-and-coming guilds/adventurers can greatly increase the gap in stats between guilds locked in Node Wars (such as Kaia Necklace and Chimera's Pupil Gem), so we are planning to minimize such advantages in those aforementioned tiers with a few adjustments. In addition, we took priority in addressing occurences of max HP decreasing over time contributing to deaths in Tiers 1-2 Node Wars, and we plan on adjusting HP for other tiers of Node Wars in a future update as well.

• Changed the stat limits applied per Node War tier.

• Changed the max HP limit for the following Node War tiers.
  
  • Tier 1 (previously Tier 1 Beginner): Max 4,000 HP
  • Tier 2 (previously Tier 2 Intermediate): Max 5,000 HP
  • Removed 500 HP deductions every 20 minutes from the moment a Tiers 1-2 (previously Tiers 1 Beginner & Intermediate) Node War begins.

Guild and Conquest/Node Wars Items

To alleviate some of the burden of carrying so many items in battle, we made some adjustments to their weight.

• Adjusted the weight of the following guild/Conquest/Node War items.

Sturdy Barricade

Sturdy Barricade was a personal item and was not included in the tools for constructing node annexes. Therefore, after completing remote construction, you had to visit the fort in person. Also, because it could only be obtained through house crafting, there were Adventurers who did not know about it. As such, in order for adventurers to participate in Node Wars with more ease, Sturdy Barricade will be removed and materials used to craft them will be returned.

• Removed Sturdy Barricade from Siege Weapon Workshop tier 1.
  
  • With the removal of Sturdy Barricade, if you had the item in your possession, the following materials were returned for each of them you had.
    
    • Usable Scantling x 20
    • Log x 10
    • Bronze Ingot x 5
    • Black Stone Powder x 3

• During the Oct 4, 2023 (Wed) maintenance, the following actions were taken for Sturdy Barricades based on their status.
  
  • If you owned the item, we have sent you with the crafting materials corresponding to the quantity you owned to Heidel's storage.
  • If the item was listed for sale on the Central Market, we have canceled the listing and provided you with the crafting materials to Heidel's storage.
  • If you had orders placed on the Central Market, your purchase orders were canceled.
  • If you have not settled the payment after completing the sale on the Central Market, the sale proceeds were collected.
  • If you have not settled the payment after completing the purchase on the Central Market, we have reissued the amount you purchased to the Central Market warehouse.

Resplendent Medal of Honor

• Changed Resplendent Medal of Honor exchangeable items as below.
• Previous exchangeable items are maintained, and those with changes in required number of medals are listed below.

• Added new items exchangeable with Resplendent Medal of Honor as below.

• • The following items can now be exchanged for versions that can be registered on the Central Market.
    • High-quality Food Box, High-quality Food Box, Perfume of Courage, Elixir of Deep Sea, Khalk's Elixir

Node War Taxes by Tier 1~5

• As Node Wars are now divided into 5 tiers, tax ratios for victory are as below.
  
  • Ratios are the same as before, but with the change to 5 tiers, we've added additional brackets to tiers 1 and 2.

Individual Node War Rewards by Tier 1~5

• As Node Wars are now divided into 5 tiers, individual rewards by tier are as below.
  
  • Rewards by tier are the same as before, but with the change to 5 tiers, we've added additional brackets to tiers 1 and 2.

Tiers 1-5 Node War Vendors

• Cenaleo Lehann the war vendor appears for victors of Tier 5 Node Wars.
• Cenaleo Lehann can be found near Node War vendors of other tiers (1-4) in each town.
• As Node Wars are now divided into 5 tiers, items purchasable from war vendors are as below.
• Shops by tier are the same as before, but now divided into 5 tiers.

Tier 1 Node Wars Maximum Revive Cooldown

• Reduced maximum revive cooldown for Tier 1 Node Wars: 60 sec → 30 sec
  • The four recovery center annex buildings are no longer constructable during this tier of Node Wars.
  • Minimum revive cooldown remains the same at 10 sec.

Fort Repair Item Integration

The variety and number of items used to repair the fort, as well as the materials required to craft each item were not only difficult to obtain but were somewhat overwhelming to manage during Node/Conquest Wars.
Thus, we decided to integrate all repair items into just "1 Polished Stone," enabling for a rather convenient and speedy fix in battle.

• Removed the following items from being used for repairing a fort/command post/field HQ during Node/Conquest Wars.
  
  • Impeccably Polished Stone, Fine Black Stone Powder, Miracle-Imbued Stone
    
    • With the removal of the above items, we've issued the respective crafting materials to your storage in Heidel during the Oct 4 (Wed) maintenance.
    • For example, if you have 1 Impeccably Polished Stone in possession, you'll find 10 Polished Stones, 5 Rough Translucent Crystals, and 1 Clear Liquid Reagent.

• Regarding the removed items, the following actions have been taken based on each case.
  • Items in possession: Crafting materials based on the number of items in possession will be issued to storage in Heidel
  • Items in Central Market registration queue: Registration cancelled and crafting materials sent to storage in Heidel
  • Items ordered on the Central Market: Orders cancelled
  • Items sold yet Silver unclaimed on the Central Market: Silver collected
  • Items purchased yet unclaimed on the Central Market: Silver refunded to Central Market warehouse

• Improved the fort, command post, and field HQ to now all require 1 Polished Stone for repair during Node/Conquest Wars.
  
  • One repair attempt will repair the same amount of durability as a Miracle-Imbued Stone: 1%.
  • With fort repairs now requiring "1 Polished Stone," you can no longer repair the command post and field HQ with Black Stone Powder.
    
    • Updated the following item description accordingly.

Mount Recovery with Supply Depots

If your mount had low health during Node/Conquest Wars, you would either let it die on purpose or would be required to constantly feed it recovery items. To remove such inconvenience, we decided to let supply depots now have the same ability as stables to recover mounts.

• Changed supply depots to be able to recover mounts during Node/Conquest Wars.
  • Recovering mounts will cost the same amount of Silver as if done through a stable.
  • Supply depots will retain their ability to revive mounts as before.

Black-Robed Man

Previously you could utilize the Black-Robed Man's services to trivialize the search for certain adventurers in charge of important Node/Conquest War roles such as cannoneers, scouting parties, and those overseeing annexes/indomitable flag construction. To prevent such adventurers from getting found too early in battle, we've prevented the Black-Robed Man from offering his services starting from the 15 minutes prior to a Node/Conquest War.

• Changed the "Black-Robed Man" in Velia to temporarily deny his services to adventurers from 15 minutes leading up to and during Node/Conquest Wars.
  
  • This only applies to servers with Node/Conquest Wars underway.

Cadria Elephant

We've improved on the difficulty of crafting the registration items for the Valencia and Cadria Elephants obtained via guild housing. Crafting the guild elephant mount used to be a momentous task for your guild, as it required all guild members to "gather everyone's strength" to make it happen. However, such times have passed, and we felt now as a good time to work on improving certain difficult portions of the journey to obtain this mount.

• Improved the method of crafting the registration item for the guild mount, the Cadria Elephant.

[Guild] Mass Processable Items

First, we greatly reduced the time taken when crafting via Guild Processing. Now you can mass process up to 50 attempts worth of items. We wanted to ensure that the mass processing of materials brought together by multiple guild members wouldn't take up huge chunks of everyone's precious time. We also added replacement materials when crafting certain guild items in order to reduce a dependence on certain materials.

• Added a mass processing recipe for materials required to craft the registration item for the guild elephant.
  • You can purchase "[Guild] Old Moon Reagent" for 10,000 Guild Funds though guild vendors, which, combined with 50 portions of a recipe, will allow you to mass process up to 50 attempts worth of items at once.

• Improved the crafting of the above [Guild] items to no longer produce 1 additional item according to a set probability, but now to have a guaranteed chance to produce 2 items per attempt.
  
  • The same applies to when mass processing with the above items.
  • (For example, mass processing [Guild] Parchment 50 times will produce [Guild] Parchment x100.)

[Guild] Item Replacements

• Added the following replacements for the Rough Translucent Crystal used when crafting [Guild] Seals.
  
  • Rough Mud Crystal, Rough Red Crystal, Rough Black Crystal, Rough Blue Crystal, Rough Violet Crystal
• Added Rhino Hide as a replacement for Ox Hide when crafting [Guild] Parchments.
  
  • You can also use the above replacement items when mass processing their respective [Guild] items.

We've also tweaked the process of crafting the Cadria Elephant registration item as well. The previous method involved taming a Baby Elephant, then rearing it into a Valencia Elephant first, then a Cadria Elephant. We've removed the Valencia Elephant step of the process. Guilds who either already had a registered Valencia Elephant or was in the process of crafting the registration item for one will find the registration item for a Valencia Elephant sent to their guild storage. Please refer to the steps explained below to rear your guild's very own Cadria Elephant.

Baby Elephant

• Astrologists who frequent the Rakshan Observatory have reported increased sightings of baby elephants in the area.
  
  • Reduced the respawn timer of Baby Elephants in Valencia to 1-1.5 hours.

Crafting Cadria Elephant registration

• Changed the process of crafting the [Guild] Registration: Cadria Elephant.
  
  • Changed the process of crafting the [Guild] Registration: Cadria Elephant.
    
    • You will now require a Baby Elephant to craft the [Guild] Registration: Cadria Elephant.

• Changed the following quests to no longer be acceptable due to the removal of the Valencia Elephant crafting process.
  
  • [Guild] Gathering Everyone's Strength, [Guild] Gathering Strength Once Again, [Guild] Our Guild's Capability
  • If you've completed any of the above quests' objectives, you'll find the Old Moon Combat/Life Seals awarded for completing the quests issued to your guild storage.

• Added the following quest to obtain the [Guild] Registration: Cadria Elephant.
• If you're already in possession of the "[Guild] Registration: Valencia Elephant.

• • ※ For guilds in possession of a Valencia Elephant registration or are crafting one as of Oct 4 (Wed) maintenance,
  • the "[Guild] Registration: Valencia Elephant' will be issued to their guild storage.
  • ※ All gear equipped by the Valencia Elephant will also be sent to guild storage during the maintenance.

One of the more important feedback we've received regarding the Cadria Elephant was that a guild would have to redo the entire crafting process depending on the elephant's skillset outcome. Hence, many of our adventurers suggested the option for changing the elephant's skills. Since the Cadria Elephant required the full cooperation of an entire guild to rear, we decided to make all Cadria Elephants to have learned all 5 skills once initially registered. All existing Cadria Elephants will also see this change reflected as well

Cadria Elephant Skills

• Improved the Cadria Elephant to have learned all 5 skills upon initial registration.
  
  • Any Cadria Elephants already registered by a guild will see all 5 skills learned after the Oct 4 (Wed) update.

From Arduanatt soaring in the sky to Diné crossing the desert and Doom traversing the ground, the majestic appearances and powerful unique skills of these Dream Horses have been a dream come true for many adventurers. Unlike the early days, more adventurers are now riding them, and there's a growing demand for new additions to the Dream Horse lineup. That's why we've introduced a new Mythical Dream Horse that is both stunning and formidable. We especially hope this presents an exciting new challenge for those who enjoy training and Dream Horse content, particularly those with high training levels.

Mythical Arduanatt that flys to the sky, Mythical Diné that races on water, and Mythical Doom that steps on the ground have been born.

Mythical Arduanatt possesses the inherent skills [Mighty Leap], [Soaring Wings], and [Wings of Swiftness]. Among these, the skill [Wings of Swiftness] allows Arduanatt to perform an additional dash forward while gliding in the air. This ability grants Mythical Arduanatt the freedom to explore the skies, a feat not achievable with a regular Dream Horse Arduanatt. Experience the unique charm of Mythical Arduanatt.

Mythical Diné comes with its inherent skills such as [Quicksilver], [Triple Jump], and [Protection of Okiara]. Moreover, it can freely employ these skills while traversing bodies of water, consuming the Breath of Okiara. It's important to use this judiciously, as you cannot mount Mythical Diné when it's on the water without having the Breath of Okiara.

Mythical Doom boasts three inherent skills, [Infernal Sprint], [Infernal Legion], and [Shadows of Hellfire]. And Shadows of Hellfire is a standout skill among them. This skill summons two additional Dooms upon use, meaning that guild or party members can freely ride them. Furthermore, both Mythical Doom and the summoned Dooms can be ridden by two people each, so owners of Mythical Doom can transport up to 6 people together.

We hope adventurers will realize their dreams by harnessing the distinctiveness and allure of these Mythical Dream Horses, which have evolved a step beyond the conventional Dream Horses.

Mythical Horses

• Added 3 types of Mythical Horses, which are birthed with a pair of Dream Horses.

• Details on Mythical Doom's inherent skills are as follows.

• • The summoned Mythical Doom has Lv. 30 stats and can use a total of 16 skills, including Two-seater, Dark Sprint, and Infernal Sprint.

Mythical Awakening - Mythical Censer

• Every time the awakening fails, the success rate increases by 0.2%.

Treasure - Krogdalo's Sanctuary

The treasure exclusive for Mythical Horses, Krogdalo's Sanctuary, also has been added. Adventurers who possess all three types of Mythical Horses can now ride them conveniently according to the situation, befitting the dedication you have shown. We hope that Krogdalo's Sanctuary will serve as a new goal for many adventurers who have an interest in Mythical Horses, further enriching their enjoyment of Black Desert..

• Krogdalo's Sanctuary is a treasure item that allows you to store and retrieve the 3 types of Dream Horses anytime, anywhere.

Learn more about the Legends of Krogdalo's children.

Krogdalo's Children	Legend
Arduanatt	Krogdalo, the spirit of the wind and earth, had three children: Arduanatt, Diné, and Doom. The eldest was Arduanatt, the one who resembled the wind. With the two wings attached to its body, Arduanatt could freely soar and glide in the air. Arduanatt one day met and befriended Secrua, daughter of the sun. Unlike Secrua, who was just and passionate like the sun, Arduanatt's soul was free-roaming. This caused a lot of quarrels between them. Eventually Arduanatt's wings melted down after a big fight, causing her to fall to the ground. To this day, Kamasylvians believe that after ages of hiding from Secrua, the fallen Arduanatt will soar again among millions of ordinary horses running on the ground.
Diné	Diné, the forest's most beloved one, was the second offspring among the three children of Krogdalo. With her fearsome, golden horn, she protected the woods of Kamasylvia from their invaders. Being the protector of the forest, she was loved and worshipped by the forest, and at the same time, alongside her another sister, Arduanatt, was the only one who could go close to Doom. One day, a small snake came to see Diné. With tears in its eyes, the snake looked like it was in desperate need of help and said there was a huge group of crows filling up the skies black, leading everyone to death. Fooled by the snake, Diné hurriedly strode towards the misty forest. However, the forest seemed peaceful as usual. Only later did she realize that the snake was gone and came back to her mother's trace, but by then Doom had already left the forest. The thought that she had failed to protect her own family made her feel despair. She soon realized that she needed to find Doom at once. Leaving her duty of protecting the woods behind, Diné left the forest for the desert. Since that day, whenever they found a golden mirage from beyond the forest, the people of Kamasylvia would believe that Diné was coming back to the arms of the woods once again from the arid desert.
Doom	Doom, the master of flames, was the youngest among the three children of Krogdalo. Every step she made created searing blaze that burnt everything. Unlike Arduanatt of the wind, who flew around the skies freely, or Diné of the earth, forest's most beloved one, Doom was not free from the burden of her own flame. Apart from her sisters, no one would dare come close to Doom. Because of this, she suffered from loneliness for a long time. There was someone who had been eyeing Doom and her agony. It was Ibedor, the serpent protector of the Mirror of the Rift. Take a good look at your true self. At the end of the arid desert, there lies a burning hell gate. It is there, where you shall meet a person. Weep no more over your bitter loneliness, for the one you will meet will understand you the way you are. With this companion, you shall be able to run freely across the lands with your blazing inferno. Convinced by Ibedor's words, Doom left her mother for the very first time. According to the records, Doom was last seen on a stormy day, disappearing beyond a roaring sandstorm of the desert.

Tag Characters for Post-Graduation Growth

Tagging Characters

• You can tag two characters in your Family, which allows you to instantly switch between the tagged characters.
  
  • Tagged characters will share their in-game location at all times.
    (For example, if tagged character A moves to a monster zone, then switches to tagged character B, B will log into the exact same location in said monster zone.)
  • You can only tag normal characters.

 

Leveling with Tagged Characters

• The tag system has been revamped to allow tagged characters to now share EXP gains.
  
  • By alternating between tagged characters, you could potentially level up multiple characters at a time.

[Revamped "Character Tag" System in a Nutshell]

1. Link two characters A & B (who are both at least Lv. 7) who you wish to tag in the "Character's Tag Setting".
2. Leveling with character A will accumulate the same amount of EXP gained to character B.
3. Log into character B, open the "Tag Characters" window, and press the "Get EXP" button to claim the EXP gained by character A.
( You can also level with character B and claim EXP gains on character A. )
- Combat/Skill EXP gained through Black Spirit's Training does not accumulate.
- Only Skill EXP gained through PvE combat will be accumulated.

※ When obtaining the accumulated EXP, leveling up will be temporarily halted once at Lv. 49, Lv. 56, and Lv. 60.
- Each time you will need to press the "Get EXP" again to level up with the accumulated EXP to the next threshold.
※ You will also need to complete the "[To Level 50!] Go Beyond Your Own Limits" quest through the Black Spirit in order to level from Lv. 49 to Lv. 50.

 

---

 

Learn More - Item Copy
Once you've tagged two characters, you can also enable them to share the same gear. This feature is known as "Item Copy."
Complete the "[Marni's Suspicious Device] Old Moon Shop" quest available from Lv. 56 through the Black Spirit to unlock the Item Copy feature.
(Quest - Suggested - [ADV Support] [Lv. 56] Item Copy with Marni's Device!)

When copying items, all equipped defense gear, weapons, accessories, tools, alchemy stones, and artifacts will be copied into the bags of the tagged character.
Copying items consumes "Marni's Unstable Fuel."

  • Added 1 face and 1 hair type for Tamer.

Musa

Ranger

Tamer

 

• The maximum character slot that can be increased through "Character Slot expansion ticket" has increased from 30 to 31.

Berserker

Awakening

Black Spirit: Devastation (I to IV)

• Fixed the issue where the damage reduction in PvP only was displayed incorrectly.

Valkyrie

The Awakened Valkyrie would repeatedly cycle between Sacrum Ferit and Promptness for PvE (affectionately christened "Valk Train"), making her an overpowering presence in zones where comparably weaker monsters spawned. However, this cycle proved less effective the higher the difficulty of the monster zone. Thus, we carried out an overall restructuring of her Awakening arsenal by somewhat lowering the overwhelming efficiency of her capabilities in so-called "one-shot spots" to more properly equip her to deal with high-end zones.
The Awakened Valkyrie would also frequently switch through a wide variety of Awakening skills for her movement combos. We felt that this playstyle didn't match the whole giant-weapon-wielding archetype. Therefore, with today's update, we introduce a revamped Hastiludium, which will ensure the Valkyrie feels and plays like the heavily-armored, giant-weapon-wielding knight character that she is..

[ Core: Hastiludium ]

Witch, Wizard

Succession Wizards and Witches had several skills in their arsenal that saw less utilization. This included [Prime: Earthquake: Destruction], whose long casting time produced not-so-impressive damage even with the extra attack, and [Prime: Meteor Shower: Focus], whose long cooldown made it see less action in the field of battle. Therefore we decided to change [Prime: Earthquake: Destruction] into a spell that summons a mighty earthquake in one motion, while reducing [Prime: Meteor Shower: Focus]’s cooldown to encourage frequent use.
We particularly decided to let Wizards reduce the cooldown of [Prime: Meteor Shower: Areal] via an effect of [Prime: Elemental Flow] even when comboing quickly with [Rain of Fire], so we look forward to seeing our Wizards wreck more havoc with this update. For Witches, [Prime: Multiple Magic Arrows]’s Lightning elemental effect was producing the greatest damage output, thus making it in the most sought-out elemental effect of the four. Hence, we made the proper adjustments so Witches can now deal high amounts of damage with any of the four elemental effects.

The Great Ocean

In the previous update, we introduced a decrease in weight for Lv. 1 barter items. Additionally, we have made a significant change to the bartering process by allowing direct exchange of Lv. 1 barter items with the "Verdant Black Stone" instead of the "Crow Merchants Guild's Barter Voucher," greatly reducing the exchange process. Furthermore, we have reduced the crafting time for the "Sunset Black Stone," which is a ship equipment enhancement material, to alleviate the time burden. For adventurers interested in shipbuilding, we have significantly reduced the acquisition period for crafting blueprints of the sailboat (4 days) and the frigate (5 days).

Also, we have moved the barter-related quests that were previously available at Oquilla's Eye to Iliya Island, and we have added additional barter-related quests on Iliya Island. As a result, combat-related quests with ocean monsters will be centered around Oquilla's Eye, while barter-related quests will be centered around Iliya Island. We have also added supply transport quests between Iliya Island and Oquilla's Eye, allowing for more streamlined routes. The newly added barter quests on Iliya Island can be accepted and completed simultaneously, providing a solid foundation for novice captains starting their bartering journey to easily level up and grow.

We have also made changes to the [Exploration] quests that could be accepted through exploration during bartering. Some quests were interrupting the flow of bartering and causing inconvenience, so we removed those quests and changed them to barter-related quests, allowing for a smoother completion of quests while maintaining the flow. We hope that captains who intentionally left some [Exploration] quests incomplete can now comfortably complete the quests and enjoy the game.

We will continue to make efforts to ensure that the journey of captains sailing into the ocean is more enjoyable.

Thank you.

The currents were removed on Aug 23. Although this removal addressed the inconvenience caused by backflows during navigation, it also eliminated the forward currents, which had allowed access to certain sea routes. So we promptly released a patch to restore some of these routes. Furthermore, numerous adventurers reported that the "shallow water" effect, which reduces movement speed, was being applied not only near the coast but also in the open ocean.

After conducting a thorough review, we discovered that the UI was originally designed for use on land and was triggered when a character entered a puddle or a river. We deeply regret any inconvenience caused while making adjustments to the currents. As a solution, we are currently developing a new terrain type exclusively for maritime use, called the "Great Ocean." When this patch is implemented, the terrain will seamlessly transit from shallow waters to the open ocean when entering deeper waters, and the movement speed will be fully applied.

Additionally, we have been aware of the absence of a UI element to indicate a sea route, which can be challenging for adventurers. To address this, upon entering a sea route, the "Oquilla's Guidance" icon will now activate, signaling your entry. Presently, entering a sea route boosts movement speed by 1.7 times. With the introduction of the Great Ocean, overall movement speed in the ocean will be adjusted to 1.4 times, considering the speed boost in the Great Ocean. Consequently, you can expect a slight speed boost when entering sea after the patch.

While you await the promised improvements, we have made some minor adjustments, such as modifications to Tier 1 barter materials and the introduction of new random barter items. We remain committed to refining and enhancing the expansive seas of Black Desert, catering to the captains who venture forth.

[Barter] Materials from land → Lv. 1 trade goods

    • One of the 71 items of materials from land can be obtained when opening the box.
  • The contents of the box obtained before the update will not be changed.

Lv. 1 trade goods weight decrease (800 LT → 100 LT)

With dreams as vast as the Great Ocean, they set sail, but encountered overloading issues in the first barter... That was something we wanted to improve. At that time, we found it not advisable to only travel to tier-1 islands for bartering. And this made it difficult to make improvements. As time has passed, the number of barters per tier has increased, allowing us to share news of improvements.

• Decreased the weight of barter for Lv. 1 trade goods: 800 LT → 100 LT.
  
  • Improved the ship inventory weight when bartering the materials from land for Lv. 1 trade goods.

• Improved the following items that occupied one slot in the inventory or storage to stack in one slot.
  
  • Items with the same duration will be stacked in one slot.
    
    • Items with expiration dates will not be stacked.

It has been a long time since Black Desert has been with adventurers, but the challenges have been fixed to be within 10,000 hours. We should have continued to prepare new challenges for those who love Black Desert, and so we apologize for having delayed this update for so long. Thank you for always being with Black Desert.

Sprinting is one of the skills used to move quickly while riding upon horseback. However, after equipping a saddle on a horse that has not already mastered the Sprinting skill, you would quite often end up falling off your horse when attempting to use the skill.
