Greetings Adventurers,

Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on November 17, 2021 (Wed). Today’s patch contains 45 updates and is approximately 1.04 GB.

Events

Character

● Added a new banner with information on Season Characters, their benefits, plus the option to create one after pressing the button to create a new character from the Character Selection screen.
- This UI will only be displayed for Adventurers who are able to create a Season Character.

 

● Changed the "test NPCs" in Battle Arena from monster-type to character-type.
- When skills are used on these test NPCs, any inflicted debuffs/CCs and the number of times the corresponding debuffs/CCs are inflicted will now be displayed.

We've changed the test monsters available in the Battle Arena to improve user experience when practicing for PvP and/or acquiring data on class changes. We've also added an interface that displays specific debuffs as well as a counter to keep track of the total number of times said debuff is being applied. We hope this encourages more Adventurers to test their mettle in the Battle Arena.

● Fixed the issue where the Invincible effect wouldn't go away if your screen froze temporarily while your character had the effect applied.

 

 

● Changed the idle animation for the Sleepless Sun Outfit. (Modified 11/23/2021 08:46 UTC)

 

 

● Changed the idle animation for the Burning Soul Outfit. (Modified 11/23/2021 08:46 UTC)

 

 

Item

● Separated [Sorceress, Lahn] Cartian Shoes from [Sorceress, Lahn] Cartian Armor.
- Added [Sorceress, Lahn] Cartian Shoes to the outfit boxes that contain [Sorceress, Lahn] Cartian Armor.
* Adventurers who had the [Sorceress, Lahn] Cartian Armor in their possession will receive the [Sorceress, Lahn] Cartian Shoes in their storage in Heidel.
● Changed the name of [Sorceress, Lahn, Guardian, Nova, Corsair, Mystic] Nude Deep Black Underwear to Nude Black Underwear.
● Changed the [PEN (V) Boss Gear]: The Best Deal questline's upgradeable equipment to no longer allow characters with less than 0 Karma to equip it. (This does not apply to the final PEN (V) Boss Gear.) (Updated)

● Improved the Ancient Relic Crystal summoning device UI with added visual effects to make it more user-friendly.
- When it's possible to register a summon scroll, you will see the respective item slot light up.
- You will see a visual indicator move from the item slot towards the circle in the center of the UI when you register your scroll.
- Once you're able to summon, you will see an effect displayed in the center and around the Activate button in the UI.
- Closing the summoning UI will now remove any registered scrolls.
● Changed Imperial Delivery alerts that displayed at certain times due to the changes made to Imperial Cooking/Alchemy Deliveries so they are no longer restricted in amount by territory nor server.

● Quadrupled the time granted to loot the Mole that appears from Farming. 

● Changed the Show Guild/Clan Member Names function in the General Settings window of the ESC (New) Menu to now toggle the names of Alliance members as well. The name of this function has been changed accordingly.

● Added the Ancient Spirit Dust item to the Aakman Temple's loot table listed in the Item Drop UI.
● Added a camera settings interface to make it easier to adjust the camera location and distance in gamepad UI mode.
