[NA/EU] Patch Notes Summary - July 6, 2022



Greetings Adventurers,

Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on July 6, 2022 (Wed).

[h3]Screenshot Mode Revamp[/h3]
Screenshot Mode (Ctrl + U, Photo Gallery) has been revamped.

First we added a guide (toggled by F1) on the side which lists the different hotkeys and relevant settings.
These hotkeys will make it easier to adjust visual effects such as filters, blur intensity, gamma, and contrast, etc.

We also added the ability to adjust the ambiance, as well as the time and weather, in your photo so that you can take the best pic suited to your location.
From the quiet hours of dawn to the pitch dark hours of night, with weather ranging from clear skies to cloudy days, you can choose the best settings to take that quality picture. (Sadly, rain or snow cannot be changed on whim).

Last but not least, we also added the function to perform Social Actions in Screenshot Mode.
Along with the addition of Slow Mode (Hotkey: U), which slows down your character, these functions will help bring out the best side of your character for your photo sessions.

We look forward to seeing the marvelous photos that our expert photographer Adventurers will take. Thank you.

[h3]Central Market Improvements[/h3]
As we mentioned during in the GM notes, we are applying an update regarding the maximum amount of items you can list and purchase from the Central Market.
We've increased the amount you can list and purchase by item type, and, as long as there are a certain number of items listed on the market, you will be able to purchase a greater amount of items simultaneously than you were previously able to purchase.
We hope this will bring some quality of life improvements for our Adventurers who frequent the Central Market.

[h3]Contents[/h3]
The Adventure Logs were originally designed to provide a different means of experiencing the variety of content Black Desert had to offer, while also rewarding the Adventurer with items or stats.
To help new Adventurers progress through the available Adventure Logs with ease, we've altered some of the objectives for these entries, including Igor Bartali's Adventure Journal that started it all.

● Improved the Adventure Logs as follows:


The Arena of Solare Preseason has come to a close. We'd like to thank all of our Adventurers who queued up and fought fiercely in the battlefield. Look forward to future updates and/or changes to be shared on the Announcements page of the official website or through the Global Lab.

[h3]Godr-Ayed Sub-weapon Stats[/h3]


Cron Meal cooldowns have been reduced from 30 minutes to 10 seconds.
Cron Meals were used in a variety of different content, but were inconvenient to use if ever they were accidentally consumed due to the long cooldown times.
To prevent such mishaps, we decided to reduce their cooldown to 10 seconds. However, considering how Health EXP can be gained from food consumption, we decided to add the "Satiated" debuff to keep the rate of gaining Health EXP the same as before.
Please note that certain other food effects can still be stacked, hence the reason why we chose to retain their respective cooldowns as before.

● Changed the cooldown of Seafood Cron Meal, Simple Cron Meal, and Exquisite Cron Meal to 10 seconds.
- Consuming any of the following food items will apply the "Satiated" debuff.
- The "Satiated" debuff lasts for 30 minutes. During this time, any food consumed will not grant your character Health EXP gains.


[h3]Pearl Shop[/h3]

● New Outfit: [Striker] Rakshasa
