[h3]Ongoing Events[/h3]

• Basilisk Subjugation: November 18–December 1 (23:59 UTC)
  
  • Due to a known issue discovered for the quest [Event][Weekly] Gorgo's Nightmare (Hard) where Gorgo's Nightmare Fragment cannot be obtained for defeating Basilisk Guardians for a week from November 25 (after maintenance)–December 2 (before maintenance), Gorgo's Nightmare Fragment will be droppable during an extended period of a week from December 2 (after maintenance)–December 9 (before maintenance). However, in order to receive the Gorgo's Nightmare Fragment in this extended week, you need to have accepted [Event][Weekly] Gorgo's Nightmare (Hard) in the previous week. Please follow the steps below:
    
    • First, accept the quest [Event][Weekly] Gorgo's Nightmare (Hard) during November 25 (after maintenance)–December 2 (before maintenance), but you won't be able to get Gorgo's Nightmare Fragment for defeating Basilisk Guardians.
      
    • Second, proceed and complete the quest [Event][Weekly] Gorgo's Nightmare (Hard) during December 2 (after maintenance)–December 9 (before maintenance) by defeating Basilisk Guardians and receiving Gorgo's Nightmare Fragment as loot.
      
  • Please note that the other quest, [Event][Weekly] Gorgo's Despair where you defeat the Basilisk Statues on top of the hill, is working normally as intended and will last as scheduled until December 1 (23:59 UTC). As the completion rewards are the same for both quests, we recommend all of you to tackle [Event][Weekly] Gorgo's Despair quest for this week.

  • The outfit pieces that are exchanged for in this quest cannot be returned to their previous look.
    
  • However, if you used Black Spirit's Claw to add a socket to the La Orzeca Outfit, you cannot use it to Manufacture with the La Orzeca's Orb and complete the quest. A new method will be added during a later update for outfits with sockets.
    

After the release of the La Orzeca Outfits, many adventurers from every region gave us a lot of feedback about the female character's outfit design. Therefore, we added a design that is similar to the male design. So now, adventurers can choose a design they prefer for their female characters.

  • Artina feels that the story behind this jukebox is special. So, she is selling them for Garmoth's Scale x30.
    
  • You can get this jukebox by exchanging with Artina with a Shai character that has completed the quest "That Day on Windy Peak."
    

• Added Autosave function to the Setting Archive.
  
  • Setting Archive will now have the options to "Autosave" and manually save.
    
  • You can continue to save manually the same way you could save settings before.
    
  • The newly added "Autosave" function will be activated when you exit out of the game, saving the latest settings. If you then login from a PC that doesn't have your settings savefor you can go to Setting Archive to download the latest saved settings.
    
  • "Autosave" is activated only if the game is exited out using normal methods.
    
• Fixed the issue where an abnormal skill icon would be displayed after playing certain skill demos.

[h2]Known Issues[/h2]

• We are aware of the issue where any changes made to settings (for example chat window, quick slot, UI) do not load properly for adventurers using GeForce Now after restarting the client. For now, this issue can be resolved by going to ESC > Settings > Setting Archive (button located top-left corner of the window) then clicking Redownload Last Saves Settings button to manually bring up your previously saved settings. This issue will also be fixed with next week's maintenance. Thank you for your patience and understanding

• Marni's Suspicious Device / Tag Character
  

A rather interesting tale is spreading from the black market of Mediah, which opens once every 15 days. According to rumor, a great adventurer has discovered Marni's Suspicious Device from the Arsha Sea. If you burn Marni's Unstable Fuel in it, the items you shall obtain will help you become quite the outlaw. To share this power to activate Marni's Suspicious Device, the great adventurer has spread fragments of clues all over.

• Added a new function to Tag Character. Now you can share equipment between Tagged Characters via "Marni's Suspicious Device." In other words, two characters will be able to share a set of gear together.
  
  • How to use Marni's Suspicious Device
    
    • Complete the questline "[Marni's Suspicious Device] A Splendid Deal" with a character Lv. 56 or higher.
      
    • Once you've completed the questline, the "Item Copy" function will become available.
      
    • Tag the main character with the desired gear equipped to a different character in the Character's Tag Setting menu.
      
    • Once tagging is complete, you will see how much "Marni's Unstable Fuel" will be required to copy the gear to the selected character.
      
    • You can purchase "Marni's Unstable Fuel" from Old Moon Managers located in major cities.
      
    • Once you have all the required materials, use Item Copy to copy your gear from the main character to the tagged character.
      
    • Login to your tagged character, where you'll be able to equip and use the copied gear.
      
  • Detailed Information:
    
    • All 4 pieces of armor, 3 weapons, 6 accessories, 1 tool, and 1 spirit stone equipped by the main character will be copied into the tagged character's inventory.
      
    • To use Item Copy, you will need "Marni's Unstable Fuel" that is sold by Old Moon Managers for silver (10 million each).
      
    • Copied items will remain bound to both the main character and the tagged character. However, once a character is untagged, all copied items will disappear. You may tag a different character to the main character and use Item Copy then as well, and you will need additional Marni's Unstable Fuel to do so.
      
    • The cost for Item Copy will be converted into the amount of "Marni's Unstable Fuel" required.
      
      • Item Copy cost formula = (All 3 Weapons) Central Market Price x 3% + (All 3 Weapons) Number of Caphras Stones used for Caphras Enhancement x 43,000 Silver
        
      • The minimum cost to use Item Copy is "Marni's Unstable Fuel" x20.
        
    • Enhanced gear that can no longer be registered onto the marketplace will use the price of the gear before enhancement.
      
    • Item Copy will require all gear equipped on the main character to have max durability recovered, and the selected tagged character will require 14 free slots of inventory space.
      
    • The enhancement level, branding, socketed crystals, and Caphras Stone EXP will be copied exactly for Item Copy.
      
    • You may destroy socketed crystals in copied gear, yet you cannot extract the crystals themselves for reuse. You may transfuse new crystals onto copied gear with empty sockets.
      
    • You may not use such functions as enhance, upgrade, Caphras enhancement, and devour on copied gear.
      
    • You may not use copied gear as materials for the Adventure Log or the Fallen God's Armor.
      
    • If the enhancement level and/or Caphras enhancement level of the main character's gear changes, the tagged character's gear will change accordingly. However, changing the transfused crystals, branding, or durability of the main character's gear will not impact the tagged character's gear.
      
    • If the main character's gear is deleted, the tagged character's gear will also be deleted (for example, if you delete Bheg's Gloves on the main character, the tagged character's Bheg's Gloves will also be deleted).
      
      • By deleted, we mean the item itself was destroyed (either thrown into the trash can, or an accessory was destroyed upon failed enhancement attempt).
        
    • Both the main and tagged gear cannot be placed in storage nor registered on the marketplace. Adventurers who especially enjoy using multiple characters and storage/maids for life skills should unequip their tool from the "tool slot" before using Item Copy.
    • Note that extracting Garmoth's Heart from the main Fiery sub-weapon will delete the tagged sub-weapon. This goes for ultimate gear as well. On the other hand, if the main gear was normal when tagged, then is upgraded to Fiery or Ultimate, the tagged weapon will NOT be upgraded but remain as normal.
      
    • If a tagged character with negative Karma (including those in the desert) is killed, ALL copied gear will be destroyed "regardless of location," and the protections offered by the set effects of Pearl outfits and Oasis buffs won't be applied here.
      

Added the Item Copy (Tag Character) function, which will allow two characters to share the same gear. Now you can tag your main character with your second-most favored character and open up a whole new bag of different gameplay options. Black Desert boasts a roster of 20 different action-packed and visually-stunning classes, each displaying its own unique style and flavor. Yet Black Desert has long been a game that brings out the MMORPG aspect of fully focusing on one main character, and yet, especially considering its diverse roster, this has been a side that we've thought long and hard about improving. One solution was the now difficult-to-obtain, and still most-requested globally, Weapon Exchange Coupon. And "Marni's Suspicious Device" is content that we hope will address this concern from the forefront. We developed this content to allow for a more convenient means of playing new classes, and we hope many of our adventurers are inspired to put this content to use.

In addition, once it appeared on the Global Labs, it was one of the most requested, but we focused on honing the edges before finally deciding to release it today. However, please understand that we've applied some tight restrictions such as not allowing copied gear to be registered on the marketplace, nor placed in storage, in order to prevent any abuse of this feature.

• The following gear cannot be copied.
  

• Fughar's Secrets to Success
  

• Rumors abound of Fughar circulating a book containing his secrets to success to help fresh graduates of the Autumn Season Server adjust to normal servers.
  
  • Go to Fughar with a character that has graduated from the Autumn Season and has converted to a normal server character to accept the quest "[Grad. Support] Fughar's Secrets to Success." Completing this quest will grant you access to Fughar's book filled with his secrets.
    
  • You may complete this questline once per family.
    
  • Use Fughar's book of secrets to automatically accept the quest. Completing the quest will allow you to accept the following books.

• Basilisk Guardian
  

Rumors are spreading all over Valencia that the long-forgotten nightmares of Gorgo in Valencia Canyon have begun once again. Gorgo's Nightmare is a tale found in the first chapter of , written by the ecologist Pitor. It is in regards to the snake possessed by darkness, born within the modern-day Basilisk Den. The Katan Military have found suspicious-looking crow feathers near the place where the snake of nightmares first appeared. They suspect someone may have had a hand in this.

• You can purchase "Gorgo's Nightmare Summon Scroll" for a Gold Bar 10G from Tarek Yanzi at Rock Post.
  
• Using this scroll will summon a giant Basilisk Statue along with smaller statues emitting yellow pillars of light on top of the hill.
  
• Destroying the summoned giant Basilisk Statue will reveal the Basilisk Guardian, which will simultaneously activate the smaller statues on top of the hill.
  
• The Basilisk Guardian will draw a greater power from the smaller statues, and thus will require at least two adventurers to join forces to take it down.
  
• The adventurer who hasn't used the summon scroll may preemptively move to the top of the hill to prepare to destroy the smaller statues. Destroying the statues on the hill will greatly weaken the Basilisk Guardian, so fighting with another adventurer is crucial to taking it down.
  
• The Basilisk Guardian will reappear for a maximum of 5 times. If there are multiple adventurers nearby, it will become empowered by a greater darkness. So, it is crucial that only one adventurer faces the Basilisk Guardian.
  
• After destroying the giant Basilisk Statue of Gorgo's Nightmare, if there are no adventurers who take on the Basilisk Guardian, then the Basilisk Guardian will disappear back into the nightmare with the statues.
  

• Each time the adventurer on the hill destroys a statue, the adventurer fighting the Basilisk Guardian will also receive a reward upon defeating the Basilisk Guardian. Adventurers will be awarded only for defeating one of the statues on the hill and the Basilisk Guardian.
  

• Effects that increase Item Drop and Amount Rates will be applied to junk loot that drops from Gorgo's Nightmare. However, Agris Fever's effect does not apply here.
  Please find more details in the Basilisk Subjugation event page!
  
• Added Arcana of Fate system to the Black Spirit's Adventure game board.
  

• Arcana cards are chance cards used in the Black Spirit's Adventure game board.
  
  • The Arcana cards will help you on your Black Spirit's Adventure. Use them well to obtain your desired rewards or to increase the probability of completing a round.
    
• You can obtain Arcana in the following way.
  
  • Once your Black Spirit piece lands on the CARD square, you will randomly obtain one type of Arcana card.
    
  • The obtained Arcana will be immediately sent to "Arcana" Storage located on the bottom right side of the window.
    
  • You can use the obtained Arcana from this storage.
    
  • The different types of Arcana are as follows:
    

• Click < Here > to see the Arcana system in detail!
  
• Changed the background of the Black Spirit's Adventure game board.
  
• Changed the standards for classifying a Returning Adventurer.
  

• Added a quest where you can convert your Season character to a normal character.
  
  • Talk with Fughar to be led to Leyla of Velia. Accept the "[Season Server Graduation] At the Crossroad" quest from Leyla and complete the questline to convert your season character to a normal character.
    
  • You will no longer be able to accept the existing Early Graduation quest.
    
  • There are no requirements for converting a Season character to a normal character, but please do note that you won't be able to create a Season character in the Autumn Season again once the character has been converted. Also, after character conversion, all Season Passes and Black Spirit Passes will be deleted. So we ask you to collect all rewards for Season/Black Spirit Pass Challenges before any character conversion.
    

[h3]Game World[/h3]

• Improved the freeze effect to feel more natural.
  
• Fixed the issue where a certain window in Velia 2-3 would not open.
  
• Fixed the issue where Karanda would get stuck in the surrounding environment.
  

[h3]All Classes[/h3]

• Added Core skills to all classes' Awakening.
  
  • You can learn Core skills once you have reached Lv. 60, on the bottom of the Awakening Weapon tab in the Skill window (K).
    

"Core" skills were added to Awakening of all classes. These skills further enhance the existing skills the way Absolute skills do for Main Weapon skills, but their acquisition and roles differ. First of all, you may only select and learn one out of all Core skills. Only defensive effects, such as either Debuff Resistance or block effects will be added to the Core skills, without any additional damage or increased number of hits. With today's patch, we hope that this addition of Core skills will relieve the discrepancy between Succession and Awakening's performance, which many adventurers have already pointed out to us. We appreciate and look forward to your feedback and opinions.

• Added third Skill Enhancement.
  
  • You can learn the third Enhanced Skill at Lv. 58.
    
  • You will need to learn the prerequisite skills to learn the Enhanced Skills.
    
  • You may only select one of two Enhanced Skills per level.
