Greetings Adventurers,

Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on December 8, 2021 (Wed). Today’s patch contains 43 updates and is approximately 842.78 MB.

Events

● Added text that reveals the success rate of preventing an accessory from dropping in enhancement grade when using Cron Stones.
- Now when you use Cron Stones and fail to successfully enhance an accessory, you'll have a 60% chance for your accessory to retain its enhancement level, or 40% chance to see it drop.

● Changed the maximum number of residences you can purchase as follows.

● Separated [Warrior, Archer] Goyen Gloves and [Warrior, Archer] Goyen Shoes from [Warrior, Archer] Goyen Armor.
- Added [Warrior, Archer] Goyen Gloves and [Warrior, Archer] Goyen Shoes to the outfit boxes that contain [Warrior, Archer] Goyen Armor.
* Adventurers who had the [Warrior, Archer] Goyen Armor in their possession will receive the [Warrior, Archer] Goyen Gloves and [Warrior, Archer] Goyen Shoes in their storage in Heidel. 

● Changed the way summoning works with the Ibedor's Scroll.
* The summon scrolls can still be used in the old method of simply summoning a boss by using a scroll.

The update, which increased the number of zones that dropped Caphras Stones, also increased the amount of stones you could obtain from PvE content, which unfortunately made the Venomous Night Fang (Ibedor's Scroll) obtainable from the O'dyllita territory somewhat less appealing than before. To reinforce the original design of this summon scroll as a primary means of acquiring Caphras Stones, we improved it with an update similar to that of the Ancient Relic Crystal Summon Scroll. However, since Ibedor's Scroll summons powerful bosses fitting of the territory of O'dyllita, we felt any stage higher than one would feel too burdensome for our Adventurers. While limited to just one stage, having an entire party summon these mighty foes will guarantee a quicker end to this heroic ordeal, and thus, a faster means to reap the rewards.

● Changed the design of the Yar! invite window.
- Now when you select a mode, you will also be able to see information on the types of hands that will be in play.
- Each game mode now has its own unique background image to accompany the different difficulty levels and descriptions.

● Slightly moved the location of the text in the middle of the Yar! board.
● Adjusted the dialog text of Yar! NPC opponents to no longer touch the outer margins of the speech bubbles. 

● Changed the loot table for Blue Whales hunted from the seas of Balenos, Calpheon, and Mediah.
- Added the Blue Whale's Oily Skin item.
* You have a low chance to loot the Blue Whale's Oily Skin, which you can exchange into the Blue Whale Wall Decoration from Karon in Velia.
- While Blue Whale Oil and Tendon will now be a guaranteed drop from butchering Blue Whales after hunting them, we've slightly reduced the maximum amount of Blue Whale Tendons obtainable.
- You can obtain the following items from butchering Blue Whales after hunting them down.

● Changed certain quests in the Elvia Realm.
- Fixed the issue where the "[Elvia] Elvia Realm: Dark Knights and the Ahib" quest wouldn't appear in your Suggested tab in the Quests window if you had already completed the quest with a different class.

* Please note that while either accepting the quest, or having completed yet still not handed in the quest will apply the new weekly quest reset rules, completing and handing in the quest before maintenance will still apply the old reset rules (of resetting in seven days), and will implement the new rules once the weekly quest can be re-accepted again.

● Changed the Timeworn Golden Pendant obtainable from Treasure Chests to now be exchangeable with Heidel's Jeweler, Dora Fonti. 

● Added a new UI theme befitting the winter season.
- When you log in for the first time, you will see a pop-up suggesting you switch to the new UI theme.

- Go to (New) Menu (ESC) - Settings (F1) - Misc. to select the new theme.

● Added info regarding appearances by mount tier when checking your horse's mount information.
- The appearance info will be displayed as a breed number depending on the appearance of the relevant horse within its tier.
* However, certain horses with fixed Lv. 1 skills do not have appearance info.

- Accordingly, you can differentiate the appearances of horses by their breed number within its tier. The breed number is decided within its tier, so even if they have the same breed number, the appearances differ if they are of different tiers.

Tier 1 Breed 1

Tier 6 Breed 1

Tier 8 Breed 1

● Improved so that you can set the number of Old Moon Boss Seals you want to exchange for the following items.
- Ancient Spirit Dust x20

● [Nova] La Orzeca Armor - Fixed the issue where switching to Awakening after equipping the armor wouldn't display its effects.
● Fixed the "Activate" button for the Faded Ancient Relic when using awakened summon scrolls to match your current UI theme.
