DUO (II) → TRI (III)	x30	x20

● Changed the amount of Max Durability consumed for guaranteed enhancement of Tuvala weapons and defense gear with Refined Magical Black Stones.

Before	After
50	20

We've changed the enchancement success rates for Tuvala gear and accessories. We actually spent a lot of time deliberating on the matter, especially due to some feedback from our Adventurers stating that the chance for success was too low, and the enhancing system of "PRI-DUO-TRI-DUO-TRI-DUO-TRI-DUO-PRI-DUO" made the system feel quite taxing. We even thought about changing up the entire method of enhancing, and yet, we felt that this was the token enhancement system of Black Desert, and changing up the rules just for Tuvala gear would only cause more confusion in the long run. Therefore, while maintaining the current system, we decided instead to increase the success rates (to a difficulty somewhere between enhancing Naru gear and last season's Tuvala gear). Since most faced difficulty in successfully enhancing in the "DUO (II) to TRI (III)" range, we increased the basic success rates for enhancing PRI (I) through TRI (III) by a substantial amount. For TET (IV) and PEN (V), we changed it so that using the Advice of Valks (+40/+60) stacks issued by Fughar would maintain the respective success rates at 35% each.

● Increased the drop rate chance for regular and enhanced Tuvala accessories to drop from defeating monsters summoned from the Rift's Echo.
- Changed the type of accessories dropped from defeating Kavali summoned from the Rift's Echo.

Before	After
Unenhanced Tuvala accessory PRI (I) Tuvala accessory	DUO (II) Tuvala accessory

● Added a quest to obtain the Serendian Soldier Armor from the Black Spirit upon completing Fughar's Memorandum - Chapter 2.
● Changed the "[Season] Beyond the Limits" quest acceptable via the Black Spirit as follows:

Requirements Before	Requirements After
Season character who has completed the Mediah main questline	Beginner Black Stone (Weapon) x100 Beginner Black Stone (Armor) x200
Requirements After	Rewards After
Season character who has either completed the Mediah main questline OR the simplified main questline up to Fughar's Memorandum - Chapter 8	Time-filled Black Stone x100

● Adjusted the junk loot of monster zones in the following regions in Valencia.
- Changed the junk loot items dropped in these monster zones to new junk loot items. (The previous junk loot items still retain their sell price.)
- Changed the monsters zones to now have a 100% chance to drop one of the new junk loot items.

* The amount of junk loot dropped from using Item Collection Increase Scrolls and/or Agris Fever Points are as follows:

- Item Collection Increase Scroll = x1
- Item Collection Increase Scroll (Advanced) = x2
- Agris Fever = x2
- Item Collection Increase Scroll + Agris Fever (Completed Book of Margahan Chapter 5) = x3
- Item Collection Increase Scroll (Advanced) + Agris Fever (Completed Book of Margahan Chapter 5) = x3

We've improved the junk loot that drops from Valencia by introducing an entirely new type of item. When setting forth on their seasonal adventure, the territory of Valencia has been the testing ground for many adventurers to witness their growth with the Tuvala gear equipped, and yet, the types of junk loot that drop from these regions were rather unbalanced. Thus, we adjusted for more valuable junk loot items to drop from defeating monsters in the above regions. For the sake of New Adventurers who may not have "Item Collection Increase Scrolls" readily available, we made sure that the basic junk loot items have a 100% guaranteed drop rate.

 

● Changed the drop rate for certain junk loot items from Waragon Nest and Basilisk Den.
- Decreased the drop rates of Scroll Written in Ancient Language and Caphras Stones when defeating normal monsters.
- Increased the drop rates of Scroll Written in Ancient Language and Caphras Stones when defeating rare monsters.
● Adjusted the items you could obtain from Calpheon and Mediah regions.
- The adjusted regions of each territory are as follows:

Balenos & Serendia

Biraghi Den

- Removed the following items from the loot tables of the above monster zones:

We felt that there were too many lootable item types from the Calpheon and Mediah territories. These items, which were also not always immediately necessary when you obtained them, would only serve as an inconvenience as they took up precious inventory space. To address this matter, we went about organizing the types of loot that dropped from these regions.

We increased the number of places you can obtain the Spirit Perfume Elixir in addition to the amount you can obtain so that we can better supply our Adventurers with Spirit Perfume Elixirs. Also, we not only made it possible for you to use other flowers in place of the Violet Flower as a crafting material, but we also reduced the time it takes for them to re-appear. We're also looking into ways to improve the remaining ingredient: the Fruit of Nature.

● Added text to the [Event] Moonlight Shard item description regarding a low chance to obtain additional [Event] Moonlight Shards.
● Added an item description text to Talibre's Tear that explains how you can obtain the item and changed to display it on the Crafting Notes (F2).

● Added a function that allows you to turn the buff on/off by charging time with the Item Collection Increase Scroll.
- You can use this function by going to ESC (New) Menu -> Adventure (F5) -> Item Collection Increase Scroll (8) OR by pressing RMB on the Item Collection Increase Scroll.
* This function will later be updated so that it can be used via the Gamepad UI as well.

- You can adjust the placement of the Item Collection Increase Scroll UI by holding LMB and dragging the mouse.
- You can press RMB to close when the Item Collection Increase Scroll UI is deactivated.
- You can make the buttons for stage 0 (deactivated), stage 1, and stage 2 appear by pressing the Item Collection Increase Scroll UI. Also, the UI for the different stages will disappear when you press them again.
* You can set a hotkey for activating each stage. You can set this by pressing LMB on the button for each stage while holding ALT.

 

- You can charge time with an Item Collection Increase Scroll by pressing the Charge (+) button.
* The amount of time you can charge with each Item Collection Increase Scroll is as follows. You can also use an item with the "[Event]" tag.
* You can charge up to 10 hours (36,000 sec), and the buff will be applied to the entire Family.

Item	Time Charged
Item Collection Increase Scroll (30 min)	1,800 sec
Item Collection Increase Scroll (60 min)	3,600 sec
Item Collection Increase Scroll: Advanced (60 min)	7,200 sec

- The following buffs will be applied for each stage of activation. You cannot switch stages for 5 minutes when activating/deactivating for each stage.
* The buff applied for each stage of activation and the time consumed are as follows:

Stage	Buff
Deactivated	Charged time not consumed No buff
Stage 1 Activated	Charged time consumed Item Drop Rate +100% Item Drop Amount +50%
Stage 2 Activated	Consumes double the charged time Item Drop Rate +100% Item Drop Amount +100%

 

 

● Added a function that enables you to instantly sell trade goods and items through any warehouse.
- The items that you can instantly sell through a warehouse are as follows:
* Items that you can sell for Silver
* Items that are not Pearl items
* Gear that is not enhanced
* However, when you use this function to sell items, the items that are sold will not be displayed on the list of repurchase items.

A function that allows you to instantly sell junk items stacked in your warehouse without having to go to a shop was added. Previously, you had to go to a Shop NPC after loading your items on your mount or moving them to your inventory. Now, it will be more convenient since you won't have to go through this whole process. Not only can you use this function to sell your junk items, but you can also instantly sell your sea trade goods. The best function for our Adventurers who enjoy bartering may actually be one where you can instantly sell your trade goods on a ship. However, this function may take a while to develop. It may not be the best, but I hope this newly added function will be at least a little meaningful to those of you who enjoy bartering.
