[NA/EU] Patch Notes Summary - April 20, 2022

Greetings Adventurers,

Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on April 20, 2022 (Wed).

[h3]Items[/h3]

As Black Desert has been on our adventure together with our Adventurers for a long time, there has been numerous items added into the world of Black Desert through the weekly updates. Therefore, this made it difficult for new Adventurers that are starting out to figure out what the items were for and whether or not they should it them or use them. So, we will strive to improve the item descriptions so that it is easier for new Adventurers to decide if they want to keep, collect, or use them.

● Improved the item descriptions of 316 items. It will clearly state how they can be obtained and what they are used for.
- More items have their descriptions improved in future updates.

Black Stones, Memory Fragments, Hunter's Seals, Gold Bars, Node/Conquest War items, and many more items would naturally pile up in our Adventurer's Inventory and take up a significant amount of weight. However, this will be changed as 344 items had their weight reduced. We hope this will help our Adventurers take off on their adventures, lighter than before.

● Decreased the weights of Gold Bars, Seals, Black Stones, and other stackable items (a total of 344 items).


[h3]Quest & Knowledge[/h3]

We increased the contribution EXP rewards for the regular quests in Balenos and Serendia. The regular quests are optional in the world of Black Desert, however, we felt that new Adventurers starting out and taking the time to explore the world should have enough points to rent storage and activate production nodes.

[h3]Drakania[/h3]

● Added Lv. 56, 57, and 58 Skill Enhancements.

– Lv. 56

– Lv. 57

– Lv. 58

[h3]Item[/h3]

As announced during CalpheON Episode 2, the processing stones were combined. We searched for a way to combine these stones together as many of our Adventurers have requested this change. Now, Adventurers will be able to mass process a variety of items with a single processing stone. We are also currently working hard on developing the Life Inventory and Lightstone Inventory.

● Combined processing stones that were differentiated by types.
- As the processing stones were combined, Shaking, Grinding, Chopping, Drying, Filtering, and Heating can be mass processed with one processing stone.


● Due to the consolidation of these items, the pre-existing processing stones will no longer be sold by the vendors. Instead, you will be able to purchase the new Loggia Processing Stone and Techthon Processing Stone from the same NPC vendors you purchased the pre-existing processing stones from.
- Removed: Loggia Processing Stone - Lake, Vitality, Energy, Sun, Wind, Lava, and Techthon Processing Stone - Lake, Vitality, Energy, Sun, Wind, Lava
- Added: Loggia Processing Stone, Techthon Processing Stone

As the processing stones were consolidated, the pre-existing processing stones that you had can either be used as an item or sold to NPC vendors for Silver. The pre-existing processing stones in your possession have all been replaced with "Sealed" processing stones. If you would like to use the processing stone as an item, then you can equip it after using it with Simple Alchemy (L).
Otherwise, you can sell all the extra processing stones for Silver to NPC vendors at the highest price that they were being sold at on the Central Market across the world.

● The following changes were made to your pre-existing Manos, Techthon, Loggia Processing Stones you have in your possession:
- All of your Processing Stones were removed from your possession and Sealed Processing Stones with the same enhancement level were sent to your Mailbox. (e.g.: +13 Manos Processing Stone - Lake → Sealed +13 Manos Processing Stone)
- Sealed Processing Stones cannot be equipped. You can either sell them to vendors for silver or use Simple Alchemy (L) to make them into processing stones that can be equipped.

[h3]Mount[/h3]

● Made the following improvements to the Mount Information window.
- Improved to display the skills that are not yet learned by the mount.
- Improved to display which courser skills the mount has learned or has yet to learn when mousing over the horse icon.
