Greetings Adventurers,

Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on October 2, 2024 (Wed). Today’s patch contains 92 updates and is approximately 1.10 GB.

Guild Manor has been added. The Guild Manor was designed to provide "a space just for our guild," but with so many guilds in Black Desert, there were constraints like location and required land.

 

As a result, Guild Manor utilizes the manor of a guild member, allowing the invitation of guild members to the selected manor. We hope this is a meaningful update for adventurers who want a place to rest and chat with guild members, and for adventurers who like to decorate their manor.

 

You can enter the Guild Manor via the Enter Guild Manor button in the Guild (G) window. Similar to the Traveler's Map, you will only be moved to the manor after the loading gauge has completely filled.

• Added the Guild Manor feature, allowing a guild member's manor to be set as the guild's representative manor.
  • Adventurers with the Guild Master or Advisor position can designate one of the manors owned by a guild member as the Guild Manor.
  • The designated manor can be freely used by guild members.

• The Guild Master or an Advisor can set the guild manor by clicking No guild manor has been set. in the Guild Window (G).
  • In the Guild Manor Settings window, enter the Family Name of the member you wish to designate and specify the manor they own.
  • The Family name of the Guild Manor's owner will display in the Guild Window (G).
• The Guild Manor can be reset by the Guild Master or an Advisor in the same manner.

The method for collecting Lakiaro with a hoe has been revised. After gathering Lakiaro in Kamasylvia and Drieghan, an additional Lakiaro will appear nearby, allowing for further discoveries similar to finding multiple ages-old wild ginseng. Starting with at least one Lakiaro, discoveries may continue until a Primitive Lakiaro is found.

 

The initial Lakiaro obtained will have a grade assigned randomly. Subsequent Lakiaro found will increase in grade with each discovery, potentially reaching the Primitive grade. (However, if a Primitive Lakiaro is found first, no additional Lakiaro will appear nearby due to the depletion of the earth’s energy.)

 

To align with the gathering minigame, we've increased the Gathering EXP from the Lakiaro minigame and added new exchange items for "Energy of Lakiaro" including "Millennial Wild Ginseng." Additionally, the probabilities and quantities for obtaining the Energy of Lakiaro have been adjusted.

• Improved so that a new Lakiaro is found nearby after finishing Lakiaro gathering.
  • The newly discovered Lakiaro appears at least once, and additional ones are found according to a set probability.
    • The grade of the initially discovered Lakiaro is determined by a set probability, and subsequently discovered Lakiaro may be of a higher grade than the previous one.
  • Newly discovered Lakiaro remain in place for 15 min before disappearing.

• Tripled the Gathering EXP obtainable at each grade when gathering Lakiaro.

• Increased the chance of obtaining Energy of Lakiaro from the Lakiaro Sack by 10 times.
• Increased the minimum and maximum quantity of Energy of Lakiaro obtainable from the Lakiaro Sack according to a set probability as follows.

• Added the following items for exchange with the Energy of Lakiaro.

• Changed to store the Energy of Lakiaro item in possession within the Manage Currency UI.
  • Exchange the Energy of Lakiaro in possession for an item via the Manage Currency UI.

• Improved so that mount death/destruction on the server does not incur penalties during the War of the Roses.
  • However, penalties will apply to mounts with Damage stats, such as guild mounts and large ships.

Green-grade horse gear, previously divided by type and equip effect, has been simplified.

 

These simplified horse gears were designed according to specific concepts, but most adventurers have been using the Storm gear. To allow adventurers to make more meaningful use of green-grade horse gear, the equip effects of horse gear have been integrated and "Movement Speed Decrease" has been removed.

 

We'll also be continuing our work to simplify items that need it in the future.

• Simplified existing Green Grade horse gear.
  • Accordingly, changed the following gear in possession during the maintenance.

• • Added the following stats to the unified Storm Horse Gear Set.

• • The Storm Horse Gear Set can be crafted at the Horse Gear Workshop using the following materials.

• • Added exchange options with Lorenzo Murray, the Velia stable keeper, for integrated items.
  • Changed so that the existing Light/Combat Horse Gear Sets can no longer be crafted.
    • Changed items like the Combat Horse Gear Box and Fighting Spirit Horse Gear Box, which previously contained Green Grade horse gear, to now contain Storm Horse Gear.
  • Changed so that the Fighting Spirit Horse Gear Box can no longer be exchanged with the Golden Seal - [Imperial Training] and Golden Seal - [Work Supervisor].

When crafting foods and drinks through Cooking or Alchemy, Purified Water and Distilled Water were previously heavier than other materials, hindering mass production.

We have reduced the weight of these materials, lessening this burden and allowing for more efficient crafting.

• Reduced the weight of the following materials used in Cooking and Alchemy.

Updates in May and June allowed for various authorities to be granted to guild members regardless of their position.

However, the use of [Guild] Pledge of the Blood was only granted to guild members with the rank of Guild Officer or higher, requiring rank changes.

Now, [Guild] Pledge of the Blood can be purchased, stored, and used freely if members have the "Learn/Use Guild Skills" authority granted, regardless of position.

• Adjusted the conditions for using the [Guild] Pledge of the Blood as follows.
  • Improved the inconvenience where guild members with Learn/Use Guild Skills authority, but not holding a Guild Officer position or higher, couldn't purchase or move the [Guild] Pledge of the Blood from Guild Storage.

As you grow stronger, it becomes more frequent to tackle multiple monster groups while the "Rumblings of Ulukita" buff is active in the Tungrad Ruins. However, the Tungrad Visionary wasn't affected by the damage increase effect from the buff, often being left behind as you moved on to the next monster group. This has been addressed, and now, when the Tungrad Visionary is knocked down, it will receive a DP decrease effect, making it easier to take down.

• Improved to apply DP Decrease debuff when the Tungrad Visionary is knocked down by an attack.

The location of the Tungrad Visionary near the Tungrad Ruins node has been adjusted, which was separated from monster groups, to allow for a more smoother experience.

• Fixed the issue where the Tungrad Visionary was too far from the group at a specific location.

• Fixed the issue where some effects of Erebjork in the Trial of Erethea were abnormal.
• Changed the Deposed Crown Prince to be knocked down in place when attacked by Duoksini during the Tale of the Deposed Crown Prince.

• Fixed the issue where the cooldown from overheating after firing cannons could be shortened by repeatedly mounting and unmounting.
• If you unmount and remount cannons during the overheat cooldown, the cooldown will take longer than if you remain mounted.

Improvements have been made to the auto-summon of mounts during Serendia, Calpheon, and Mediah Main quests, allowing for better progression. Mount summoning has been added for convenient traversal to subsequent quest locations, and adjustments have been made to prevent mount summoning at potentially dangerous points upon completing certain Main quests.

• Improved the auto-summon of mounts during Serendia, Calpheon, and Mediah Main quests for better progression.

We've improved the combat difficulty of bosses encountered during the Jordine Saga.

For Karanda, adjustments were made to prevent adventurers from having to re-enter the combat area after being knocked back.

For Quint and Muraka, changes have been implemented to reduce quest progression difficulties caused by high damage during combat.

• Improved the combat difficulty of bosses encountered during the Jordine Saga.
  • Adjustments were made for Karanda to prevent adventurers from having to re-enter the combat area after being knocked back.
  • Decreased the damage caused by Quint and Muraka during combat.

• Added the option to acquire the King of the Dead title by defeating the Skeleton King outside of Cartian Spell Tier 1-3.

• Wild horses have been sighted in various locations of the Land of the Morning Light.
