[Updates] Patch Notes - May 18, 2022

Updates May 18, 2022, 10:00 (UTC) Patch Notes - May 18, 2022

Greetings Adventurers,

Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on May 18, 2022 (Wed). Today’s patch contains 86 updates and is approximately 1.29 GB.

Mythical Diné

The dream horse, Mythical Diné, comes galloping across the waters! You can obtain a Mythical Diné via Mythical Awakening, and this legendary steed comes with its own unique skills such as Quicksilver, Triple Jump, and Protection of Okiara.
When we last revealed this mythical steed, many of our Adventurers displayed concern that it seemed to lack its signature horn. We are happy to report that Mythical Diné will be released with horn and all intact.
* Mythical Diné can utilize skills such as Drift, Instant Accel, and S: Instant Accel while maintaining high speeds to gallop across water for up to 15 seconds, which is around the time it would take to travel between two closely placed islands.
You require the Breath of Okiara to mount up on and move with a Mythical Diné standing on water, so use this resource wisely.

● Added a new dream horse available through Mythical Awakening, the Mythical Diné.
- Stable your Dinés with Gula, stable keeper of Stonetail Horse Ranch, to attempt Mythical Awakening.
- You will need one male and one female Diné, both at Lv. 30.
- Use the Mythical Censer to attempt Mythical Awakening which has a fixed success rate of 3%.
- A successful Mythical Awakening will see both Dinés reborn into one Diné of "Mythical" grade.
- If you fail, the 2 Dinés can be recovered at any time, and you can use the Mythical Censer to try again.
- A newborn Mythical Diné will have the inherent skills of both Diné and a Mythical Horse.
- Inherent skills will be at 100% mastery, and will not disappear even if you reset the horse's growth.
- Mythical Diné's base stats (HP, stamina, speed, accel, turn, brake, etc.) will be similar to a normal Diné. Including exclusive skills, Mythical Diné can learn up to 27 skills in total.
- Mythical Diné's base price is higher than the combined prices of two Lv. 30 Dinés (male and female). However, due to its rare breed, this mythical creature is currently not being sold in the Horse Market.
- Mythical Diné is a legendary dream horse born from Mythical Awakening and does not specify a gender.

* Mythical Diné consumes Breath of Okiara to gallop across waters for a certain period of time, but cannot traverse the deep seas.
● Details on Mythical Diné's inherent skills are as follows.

Skill Name	Preceding Skills	Usage	Stamina Cost	Description
Quicksilver	n/a	Automatically activated when moving atop water while mounted	Same cost as on land	Consume Breath of Okiara to gallop across water.
Quicksilver	You cannot use mounted attacks, horse attack skills, nor auto-run while on water.
Triple Jump	High Jump, Streak Leap, Double Jump	SPACE during Double Jump	200	Leap high once more after using Double Jump.
Triple Jump	You cannot use Triple Jump after using Protection of Okiara.
Protection of Okiara	n/a	E while falling after jumping	400 upon use 400 continuously consumed while holding	Jump and float safely down to the ground from great heights using the power of water to cushion you.
Protection of Okiara	Using the Protection of Okiara will prevent any fall damage for a certain period of time.

* You can use all horse skills excluding land-based attacks during Quicksilver.
* Earth of Life now cures desert illnesses when used by a Mythical Diné.
● Mythical Diné consumes the "Breath of Okiara" with the Quicksilver skill to gallop across water.
- You can check your Mythical Diné's "Breath of Okiara" upon mounting the steed.

- The Breath of Okiara will be recovered naturally under the following circumstances:
* Idle, moving, and using skills while mounted on land
* While idle on land
- When it's filled up to a certain level, you can consume Breath of Okiara with the Quicksilver skill to gallop across water.
- Using Quicksilver at shallow waters or swamps such as Catfishman Camp, Swamp Naga and Swamp Fogan Habitats, and Tshira Ruins, will not consume the Breath of Okiara.
- Consuming all Breath of Okiara will dismount you from your Mythical Diné. (Mythical Diné assumes an aquatic form to commune with the waters.)
● Mythical Diné will take on an aquatic form when dismounted while standing in the swamps or atop water.
- You can dismount from Mythical Diné while standing on water. You can also mount Mythical Diné while swimming (as long as there's Breath of Okiara to spare.)
* You can mount Mythical Diné with a matchlock equipped, but cannot gallop across water while it's still equipped.
● The crafting recipe and ingredients for the Mythical Censer, along with details on how to obtain them, are as follows:
