Major Updates - Spring Season Begins
Today's update marks the beginning of the "Spring Season."
Since last Autumn Season, we've been adding improved Life-skilling content such as increased items collected from Gathering including seasonal enhancement materials on the season servers. The theme for the Spring Season is "Fishing."
First off, we decided to increase the amount of Combat EXP gained from Fishing by threefold, thereby encouraging adventurers to branch out to different playstyles rather than feeling restricted to PvE content for growth.
We've also added the coelacanth to the seasonal waters, which can be exchanged for "Dreamy Crystals of Balance," items that grant guaranteed enhancement of Capotia accessories. We've also greatly reduced the difficutly of the weekly season quests that awarded you with seasonal enhancement materials as well. We hope that all of these quality-of-life improvements better your new season character's lifestyle in the Spring Season.

[Spring Season] Recurring Weekly Season Quest Improvements
We've reduced the number of monsters required to be subjugated for the weekly season quests. We originally designed these quests to require numbers befitting the amount of Tuvala enhancement materials they awarded, but, as with all things with the passage of time, we felt the numbers to be a bit too high.

Quest to Reobtain [Sailing] Torn Treasure Map Piece
Following the previous barter update, today's update brings improvements to the Sea Crystal and Torn Treasure Map Piece items used to upgrade a ship's stats. For Torn Treasure Map Pieces, which could only be obtained through Saltwater Crocodiles, specific pieces were required to complete the map. Over time, unnecessary pieces would accumulate, so we've added a new way to obtain Torn Treasure Map Pieces to prevent such an inconvenience.
Also, we've not only increased the amount of Origin items, which are required to craft higher-grade Sea Crystals, gained from Simple Alchemy but also added a new alchemy recipe so Adventurers who wish to craft a Margoria Sea Crystal of a different stat can do so.

[Farming] Improved Mysterious Crop Fruit Harvest
One of the means to obtain fruit items, essential ingredients for certain alchemy recipes, was via Mysterious crops. In order to increase the appeal of this method, we decided to double the amount of fruits produced through breeding Mysterious crops.
- Doubled the amount of each fruit type produced through breeding mysterious seeds/hypha.
- You can obtain between 30 to 40 fruits through breeding mysterious seeds/hypha.

To prevent adventurers from feeling forced to engage in combat-based PvE activities, we allowed for some Combat EXP gains from Life-skilling activities early on. However, these gains were determined according to figures appropriate back in the day, so we decided to increase the amount of Combat EXP granted for Gathering, Processing, Cooking/Alchemy, Fishing, Horse Taming, and Farming activities to numbers more appropriate to current BDO levels. We hope this continues to encourage adventurers to not feel locked to PvE playstyles, and we will continue to make improvements where necessary for these Combat EXP gains in the future as well. Thank you..

Prior to the quality of life update to the Enhancement UI, the Dragon Scale Fossil to Advice of Valks exchange was the main source of acquiring stacks for enhancement. With today’s update, we’ve made further improvements to that exchange. Not only have we lessened the required number of fossils to exchange for Advice of Valks (+20) and (+40) but we’ve also added Advice of Valks (+30) and (+50) to the exchange system. We hope this makes it easier for our adventurers to acquire the right stack when they need it.
- Improved the exchange system for obtaining Advice of Valks with Dragon Scale Fossils.
- NPC Ulan of Eilton has begun exchanging Dragon Scale Fossils for Advice of Valks.
- Items available for exchange with Dragon Scale Fossils are as follows:

| Dragon Scale Fossil x400 | Advice of Valks (+50) x1 |
Added Simple Alchemy Recipe to Convert [Party] green-grade Elixir → [Party] blue-grade Elixir
Compared to blue-grade party elixirs, green-grade party elixirs have always paled in the strength of their buff effects and longevity of their durations. Equally worse was there being no means to convert a green-grade party elixir to its blue-grade counterpart if you had crafted one by accident. Hence, we’ve added a Simple Alchemy recipe that will allow you to craft blue-grade party elixirs for such situations. You will need to purchase Ibellab’s Essence from a material vendor for this recipe, and Mass Process is also available as well.
- Added an Alchemy Crafting Method which allows you to combine three green-grade party elixirs into one blue-grade party elixir.
- You can use Ibellab's Essence x1 with the below Alchemy Crafting Method to craft 10 Simple Alchemy at once.
- You can purchase the Blue Reagent and Ibellab's Essence from Ibellab for 50,000 Silver and 10,000 Silver each.
| Simple Alchemy (L) Green-grade [Party] Elixir x3 + Blue Reagent x1 = Blue-grade [Party] Elixir x1 |

To help adventurers utilize their Central Market warehouse more efficiently, we have reduced the weight (VT) of equipment, accessories, and most other items by a significant amount. Now, equipment items such as weapons and armor only weigh 1/5 of their previous weight, and accessories will weigh 1/4 of their previous weight. Additionally, we've reduced the weight for items obtained in large quantities from killing monsters, i.e. Black Stones and Caphras Stones, and elixirs.
Reduced the Weight of Items Loaded Onto the Central Market Warehouse
- Weight (VT) of items being loaded into the Central Market Warehouse has been changed as follows:
| Item Category | Before | After |
    All equipment (except tools)
(weapon, armor, fishing rod, float, etc.) |
50 VT | 10 VT |
| All accessories | 20 VT | 5 VT |
| All materials | 0.1 VT | 0.1 VT (unchanged) |
| Pearl Item | 0 VT | 0 VT (unchanged) |
▲ Any items not belonging to above categories     |
1 VT | 0.3 VT |
- Changed so that Reminiscence of Battle items cannot be transferred through the warehouse's transfer function.
- Changed [Event] Origin of Dark Hunger item's removal date to Mar 22, 2023 (before maintenance).
- The [Event] Origin of Dark Hunger's item description has been changed accordingly.
- Changed the How to Obtain part of the Dreamy Crystal of Balance description.
- Changed the color of the Mercenary's Life item icon so it can be differentiated from Mercenary's Experience.
Quest & Knowledge
Previously, you had to complete a certain quest along with the tutorial with one character in your Family in order to skip the cutscenes in the Tutorial. Now, even adventurers who have not completed that ordeal can skip those cutscenes as well.
Skip Tutorial Cutscenes with 1 Run-through
- Improved the skip feature for tutorial cutscenes unlocked after completing the tutorial once as follows:
- Before: Complete the tutorial once and the "[Tutorial] Black Spirit's Behest" quest to skip the cutscenes.
- Now: Complete the tutorial once to skip the cutscenes.
- You can acquire the knowledge "You Were the Key" during the tutorial.
- Adventurers of families created before this update will acquire the knowledge "You Were the Key".
Skip Balenos/Everfrost Main Questline Cutscenes with 1 Run-through
- Improved the skip feature for Balenos/Everfrost main questline cutscenes unlocked after completing the questlines once as follows:
- Before: Complete "[Balenos] Journey's End" and/or "[Everfrost] Journey's End" quests once to skip the cutscenes.
- After: Complete the respective main questlines once to skip the cutscenes.
- You can no longer repeat the quests "[Balenos] Journey's End" and "[Everfrost] Journey's End", which can only be completed once per family.
Node & Conquest War
- Added "Epheria's Star" as a reward for winning the Conquest War in Calpheon, Mediah, or Valencia. The item will rewarded to the Guild Storage of your guild/alliance.
- Only the Guild Master can move Epheria's Star from the Guild Storage, and award a deserving guild member via the new "Present" button.
- The "Present" button is available in the Guild Storage found on the Guild (G) window, and only works for Epheria's Star.
- Only the Guild Master can move Epheria's Star from the Guild Storage, and award a deserving guild member via the new "Present" button.
-
- The guild member who is awarded with the Epheria's Star can accept a special quest from Philaberto Falasi in Port Epheria. Complete this quest to obtain the "Ship License: Epheria Galleon" and the [Captain Epheria] title, which is a temporary title that lasts for 7 days.
* You can only ride and control an Epheria Galleon if you have the [Captain Epheria] title, but you can only access other features even if you do not have the title or if it has expired.
"Get the upgrade materials for Flame Tower/Barricade!" "What do we need?" "How many do we need to upgrade Flame Tower?"
Now you'll no longer need to worry about the Node War tier versus the type of annex you're trying to upgrade. Upgrade any annex with just 10 Iron Ingots and 10 Melted Copper Shards, which we hope will make your Node/Conquest Wars slightly less strenuous.
