Greetings Adventurers,

Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on November 29, 2023 (Wed). Today’s patch contains 271 updates and is approximately 1.27GB.

Ulukita, the Exalted Land

 

The Exalted Land, Ulukita

• Prince Bareeds III, who disappeared from Altinova, was nowhere to be found. However, rumors began to spread in Altinova that a pauper prince appeared in the southern reaches of Ulukita.

Many people in Mediah do not even know the face of Bareeds III, the last of the Mediahn royal family. The oppressive reign of the last Aksulp royal family has left a bitter taste, diminishing the prince's favor among the people of Mediah. As such, rumors have begun to circulate that another trace of the elusive prince may be found in the Exalted Land, Ulukita. Sarma Anin and Sirare, who have lost their master, seek the help of Adventurer for the future of Mediah, where the sole royal bloodline has vanished.

* Once you've completed all the pre-quests in the Ulukita, you can proceed with the subsequent main quests of the Exalted Land, Ulukita, via the Black Spirit.

New Additions and Improvements

Class Changes

Today's patch brings about adjustments to the attack areas and damage of certain class skills.

We focused on considering class-specific traits and motions for this update, with priority placed upon fixing the attack areas of difficult-to-use skills, and for skills that were difficult to adjust, we carefully increased their damage numbers instead.

 

This is the 2nd installment of PvE balance changes, and we've been considering factors such as defensive effects, attack areas, accuracy, evasion, and others. Such factors inevitably affect PvP, so in the coming week, we plan on carrying out PvP balance changes as well. Along with such PvE/PvP changes, we are also planning to adjust the accuracy and evasion of monsters so these stats are meaningful for classes in monster zones.

 

Unlike PvE, balancing classes for PvP is a relative adjustment between classes, as opposed to being compared with the stats of monsters. Therefore, temporary adjustments such as simply adjusting the attack area or damage may only bring about confusion to our adventurers, and thus require a decent amount of time to test and properly implement changes that won't completely destabilize the game.

For example, today's patch brought changes not only to attack areas but to relevant visual effects of skills as well. If we only sought to change the attack area of a skill without touching the visuals as well, it would cause unintended confusion to our adventurers as well. Therefore, in adjusting the attack areas of skills, we had to simultaneously carry out touch up work on the visual effects of each related skill as well.

 

In addition, when we first began class balance adjustments, we spoke of tweaking the numbers of other classes who weren't as capable as Woosa in PvE instead of simply adjusting the single outperforming class. Improving Skill Add-on effects and increasing damage amounts are all part of this grand scheme of changes we seek to help make more classes more efficient in PvE monster zones. The data and indicators used to determine these changes have been gathered from adventurers in all regions. We've analyzed your gameplay patterns and such relevant data, and we will carry out further adjustments where necessary all based on the collected information.

 

After the 1st set of PvE balance adjustments and the Skill Add-on system revamp, we've been truly encouraged by all the feedback and support sent by our adventurers. Thank you.

For the sake of many more adventurers to fully enjoy our game, we will continue combing through our data and deliberate constantly to implement meaningful changes.

Maehwa

The existing Maehwa Succession featured skills with lengthy cooldowns, which during PvE, required players to intermittently use Red: Divider or deplete their stamina to fill these gaps.

However, Red: Divider had an issue of constant stamina depletion. While we considered adjusting the cooldowns of all skills, a significant reduction might drastically alter the gameplay.

To address this, we set the PvE damage of Red: Divider on par with the main skills, eliminated both its cooldown and stamina consumption, and transformed it into a primary skill used whenever its cooldown is reset. This comprehensive approach aims to solve the overall skill cooldown issue, the stamina drain of Red: Divider, and the general lack of damage output.

Main & Succession

Prime: Whirlwind Cut, Ultimate: Whirlwind Cut

• Moved both skills' attack areas to be more in front of your character (applies for the Ultimate version upon learning the Prime version).

• • • The skill will now attack up to a max 7 hits.

• • • You will perform the normal Prime version of the skill instead.

 

Prime: Divider

• Fixed the issue where performing the spin attack with the Tiger Blade drawn during cooldown would still apply the Knockback debuff.

 

Razorblade Corolla

• Changed the cooldown: 9 sec → 7 sec

 

• Changed the damage of the following skills.

Common

Foxflare Fling

• Fixed the issue where Skill Add-on did not activate when hitting an enemy from afar.

Arena of Solare now includes practice matches, allowing you to enjoy matches without any pressure. Victory/defeat rewards have been added to practice matches, meaning you can gain coins whilst still enjoying PVP content. Of course, as they are practice matches, this revenue will not be as substantial. However, when the new season starts, we are planning to let players earn higher revenues through ranked matches. Also, during the practice match period, all equipment and crystals can be used without consuming Seal of Solare. We hope to continue to make changes for our adventurers who enjoy PVP content.

• Arena of Solare practice match has now been changed to be playable every day.
  • Arena of Solare practice match hours:
    • EU: daily between 10 AM - 1 AM (UTC)
    • NA: daily between 10 AM - 1 AM (PST)
  • Unlike previous practice matches, participants will be matched to others of similar skill levels.

• Arena of Solare practice matches will be held randomly in one of the following six arenas:
  • Ruins of Tzol
  • Olun's Valley
  • Manshaum Forest
  • Gyfin Rhasia Temple
  • Jade Starlight Forest
  • Gowun Plateau Reeds

• Seal of Solare has been added as a certain reward when participating in practice matches.
• Seal of Solare can be sold to a merchant at a certain price or exchanged for various items via skill instructors in each town, and the following number of tokens will be obtained depending on the result of the practice match.

• The number of Seals of Solare required for exchange varies depending on item type. Exchanges are available in the following quantities.

• Improved the Solare exclusive gear system so that all equipment and Crystals can be used in an unlocked state without consuming the Seal of Solare.
• Changed the stats of the Solare exclusive Crystals and accessories as follows:

• Changed the world boss heart items to be registered on the Central Market.

The single purchase limits per category at the Central Market have been revised, enabling you to acquire a greater quantity of registered items in a single transaction. This adjustment has been implemented reasonably to ensure that many adventurers have the chance to purchase the same item. We will consistently make updates based on the market's conditions.

• Adjusted the single purchase limit of the 1283 items of the following categories.
• The limits will be adjusted to increase variably when the items' selling orders exceed the following standards.

The exchange locations for Boss's Latent Auras used to vary depending on the boss, but with this update, the exchange NPCs changed. Now, you can exchange the auras with the blacksmith in towns and major cities regardless of the boss. Previously, you were required to exchange the boss's gear box before exchanging the latent auras for Memory Fragment. This rule was established to ensure each Family could acquire boss gear, which was hard to obtain. However, in response to the current situation, we have made improvements. You can now directly exchange Boss's Latent Auras for Memory Fragments without exchanging any boss gear. And if you want to exchange the aura for boss gear, now you can exchange them multiple times.

• Changed NPCs for exchanging Latent Auras of Bosses.

• Changed the existing Boss Gear exchange quests to be no longer available, since those gears became obtainable through NPCs.
  • Cancelled any gear exchange quests in progress before the update.

• Added descriptions of the quests for Garmoth's Heart and Inverted Heart of Garmoth.
• Edited the description of the Purified Water to explain its usage and acquisition more clearly.

• Updated the [Event] Inspiring Calpheon Coin to be storable in the Family Inventory.
  • To exchange the coin, you must move it from the Family Inventory to your personal Inventory.
• Changed Black Spirit's Claw's icon.

• Changed Songakshi of the Black Shrine as below:
  • Improved the hit detection of Songakshi's attacks to be more precise.
  • Consolidated the number of hits in Songakshi's attacks to 33-66% of their original number of hits.
    • With the above change, you may take more damage from a single hit than before.

• Changed the Golden Pig King of the Black Shrine as below:
  • Improved the hit detection of the Golden Pig King's attacks to be more precise.
  • Consolidated the number of hits in the Golden Pig King's attacks to 33-66% of their original number of hits.
    • With the above change, you may take more damage from a single hit than before.
  • Fixed the issue where the hit detection timing of some of the Golden Pig King's mechanics was abnormal.
  • Improved the Sun Aura shield used by Golden Pig King in Calamity 6 and above to make the boss more visible.
  • Changed the Golden Pig King to not attack by following the adventurer's movement direction with certain mechanics.
  • Fixed the issue where certain mechanics could not be properly overcome in Calamity 6.
  • Reduced the range of a certain attack where the sword is swung forward with fire to match the graphics more accurately.

• Added spawn conditions for queen Vercedes at Murrowak's Labyrinth.            
  • One labyrinth must be silenced to start the timer to awaken queen Vercedes from her slumber in Murrowak's Labyrinth.            
  • At least four labyrinths must be silenced to awaken queen Vercedes from her slumber in Murrowak's Labyrinth.            
    * In summary, you must silence one labyrinth to start the timer, but must silence at least four labyrinths to actually awaken Vercedes.            

• Changed the spawn location of monsters near trees in Ash Forest.

• Lara says she needs a lot of potato bread for her siblings and asks for your help.

• • Changed [Daily] Lara's Great Discovery and Bread to weekly.

  • [Daily] How to Scare Boars I-III - Sharp Black Crystal Shard
  • [Daily] How to Scare Bears I-III - Hard Black Crystal Shard

• Changed the appearance of the Snowfield Cedar Tree to distinguish it from other trees.
  • Also changed the placement of some of the Snowfield Cedar Trees.

We've built upon the idea of an Adventurer who overlapped the memo and skill cooldown icons, and added a function to write your own memo on them.
We hope this helps you on your adventures in Black Desert.

• Added a function to write a memo below the cooldown UI of skills.
  • You can add memos to skill cooldown UI by pressing the Skill Cooldown Slot button at the bottom of the Skills (K) window.

    • However, for dormant account recovery, you still need to contact our Support team as before.
