    • Only season characters in normal servers can use Honorable Adventurer's Certificate.

[h3]Major Update: Instant Entry into the Pit of the Undying[/h3]

The Pit of the Undying was well received by many of you thanks to its uniquely tactic-based PvE content. Yet, we heard that its remote location in the game made it hard to fully enjoy its contents. Therefore, we have added a function that allows instant entrance to the Pit of the Undying so that it is easier to access.
We hope that you can now pop into the Pit of the Undying once a day and enjoy facing off against different challenging monsters.

• Added a function to instantly enter the Pit of the Undying where you can compete against the First Crow's finest warriors in an endless battle for glory.
  
  • While in Velia or Crow's Nest, you can instantly enter and exit the arena by pressing the button for the Pit of the Undying in the ESC menu after completing the quest [Crow's Nest] Crow's Mercenary. After completing the quest, you can only access the Pit of the Undying via that button.
    
  • If you haven't completed [Crow's Nest] Crow's Mercenary, speak to NPC Lavala to enter the Pit of the Undying.
    
  • You cannot create or leave parties at the Pit of the Undying.
    
  • If you haven't used the button on the ESC menu to enter the Pit of the Undying, you'll be moved to Crow's Nest upon leaving the Pit of the Undying. You can only enter the Pit of the Undying through NPC dialogue during the Crow's Nest main quests.
    
  • To exchange your Seal of the Undying via Patrigio you need to leave the Pit of the Undying and go to Crow's Nest.
    

• Changed the [Daily] To the Pit of the Undying quests to now only be accepted and completed by talking to NPC Randy instead of Lavala.
  

[h2]Season Server[/h2]

• The cooldown for switching servers will now be applied separately for season servers and non-season servers.
  
  
• Fixed the issue where the buttons for completing the quests [Enhancement] Even Finer Tuvala Shuriken I and [Enhancement] Even Finer Tuvala Shuriken II did not appear when interacting with NPC Fughar if a PEN Tuvala Shuriken was equipped or in your inventory.
  

[h2]Mounts[/h2]

• The ships of adventurers with negative karma will now glow red.

Greetings Adventurers,

This week's update brings you a new way to store enhancement chance called Naderr's Band. You can use Naderr's Band through the Enhancement window to exchange your current character's enhancement chance for whatever enhancement chance is already stored on the band. We hope this is a quality change for you.

Also, Hexe Sanctuary will feature a new 160 AP zone. Look for the Traitor's Gravestones and destroy the evil that is hiding in the depths of the Hexe Sanctuary!

Last but not least, we have prepared a special cross-promotion event in the world of Black Desert Online where you can meet the heroine of the new Netflix series Cursed and help her return home.

[h3]Major Update: Naderr's Band[/h3]

• The sorceresses of Tarif, who have been studying the Black Spirit for a long time, have uncovered an ancient spell. This spell calls Naderr's Band, through which the Black Spirit can exchange enhancement chance.
  
  • You can accept the quest series Naderr's Band from the Black Spirit after reaching Lv. 58, once per family. The quest reward, Naderr's Parchment, can be used to add a slot to Naderr's Band.
    
  • You can use Naderr's Band through the Enhancement window to exchange your current character's enhancement chance for whatever enhancement chance is already stored on the band.
    
  • Naderr's Band not only exchanges the usual enhancement chance but also Valks enhancement chance at the same time.
    
  • Naderr's Band and any enhancement chance stored on it can be accessed by all characters in your family.
    
  • If the enhancement chance stored in one Naderr's Band slot is higher than 100, a 10 minute cooldown will be applied for using any Naderr's Band slot. However, Valks enhancement chance does not count towards the 100.
    
    • E.g. If your enhancement chance is 99, and Valks enhancement chance is 10, there will be no cooldown applied. However, if your enhancement chance is 100 and your Valks enhancement chance 0, a 10 minute cooldown will be applied for using Naderr's Band.
      

[h3]Major Update: New monsters at Hexe Sanctuary[/h3]

This new monster zone is set in a place with a completely different vibe from Polly's Forest with its hauntingly cute mushrooms.

• Added a monster zone to Hexe Sanctuary with a recommended AP of 160.
  
  • Traitor's Gravestones were hidden in the depths of Hexe Sanctuary but were eventually discovered. Attack them to attract all sorts of "Grudge-Bearing" enemies
    
    • Traitor's Gravestones can be found around Marie Cave within the Hexe Sanctuary.
      
  • The enemies will try to protect the Traitor's Gravestones, and by destroying the gravestones you will also vanquish the enemies.
    
  • Most enemies will respawn at certain intervals while a new Green Orc Skeleton Warrior will respawn every time one is defeated.
    

[h3]Major Update: Revamped Quest Window[/h3]

With this change, you will not only be able to differentiate main quests from the other quests when interacting with the Black Spirit but also when interacting with other NPCs. We hope that this will help make questing more streamlined and enjoyable, especially at the beginning of your adventures. For the future, we are planning to make the quest widgets easier to read and more customizable to your play style.

• Added a separate sub-window for main quests to the quest window that appears when you interact with a quest-giving NPC or the Black Spirit.
  
  • This sub-window will contain quests that you can normally check under the Main tab of the Quests (O) window as well as some quests that will help with your character's growth and adventures.
    
  • While you are interacting with a quest-giving NPC or the Black Spirit, you can press Q to check this new main quest sub-window. If you want to check other quests as well while interacting with the NPC or Black Spirit, press A.
    
  • However, if there is no main quest to do via that NPC or the Black Spirit, if you press Q you will be directed to check out other types of quests.
    
  • The Black Spirit quest window for non-main quests will now have the following tabs: All, Suggestions, Recurring, Event.

[h2]Known Issues[/h2]

• We are aware of the issue where if you attack Red Paladins from over a certain distance, your kill may not be counted towards the quest [Cursed Event] The Truth Behind the Mask. If you encounter this issue, please reaccept the quest and kill all the Red Paladins from a closer distance to complete this quest.
  
  
• We are aware of the issue where the cooldown for using Naderr's Band with enhancement chance of 100 and above is showing as 1 hour and 10 minutes instead of just 10 minutes. The correct cooldown is 10 minutes and we are looking to resolve the issue soon. We apologize for the inconvenience and confusion.
