[Dev Comment]

Dark Rift was introduced as an alternative method for boss battles other than using summon scrolls. It gave us a chance to try different options and introduced various difficulty levels to heighten the tension of battle and rewarded players with better loot. We feel now is the time to give Dark Rifts some tweaks to freshen them up. Now Dark Rifts will have periods of expansion where monsters emerge as Very Hard versions and appear 30% faster than before. Of course, they will also give better loot to reward you for your endeavors, so venture out and seek these expanded Dark Rifts!

Greeting Adventurers!

The Executive Producer in charge of development for Black Desert, Jae-hee Kim, announced the 2020 Development Plans at the Calpheon Banquet offline event held in Korea.
He recapped the changes that followed after the Heidel Ball, and announced the various new updates coming in 2020 for Black Desert.

(Please note the dates mentioned are for the Korean server and global release dates may differ.)

Let's check them out!

[h3]Between the Heidel Ball and now[/h3]

• There were a variety of improvements and changes made after the Heidel Ball. They included: Buff UI rework, talking with NPCs while mounted on horses, more ways to get enhancement stacks, UI rework, Imperial Crafting Delivery rework, any more.
  
• The Great Expedition, Altar of Blood, the Shai class and her "Talent," and other tremendous content updates came in.
  
• We were not able to show you O'dyllita and Territory War as of yet. There are still a number of details that need to be worked out for them to fit the world of Black Desert. Please be patient with us as we strive to develop them to a quality with which we are satisfied.
  
• As for Fish Farming, it was presented as a possible idea in the past and it received such good feedback that we expect to start developing this content soon.
  

Click here to read the Heidel Ball Recap

[h2]Currently under development[/h2]

1. [h3]Succession[/h3]
   
   • We are focused on getting Succession out for the pre-existing classes. The original plan was to have all of the classes out by the end of the year, but we wanted to make sure we are putting forth quality content.
     
   • This is especially true with Berserker Succession. It was pretty close to completion, but it lacked refinement so it's undergoing development again.
     
   • Succession will continue to get released in mid-January starting with Witch & Wizard. They will be followed up with Striker, Mystic, and Lahn in the coming weeks.
     
2. [h3]Guardian, Slayer of the Light[/h3]
   
   • Guardian makes her pact with the Black Spirit knowing that she will lose her memories. This was so that she can descend from the Mountain of Eternal Winter to reclaim Ynix, the Holy Flame that can immolate gods.
     
   • She meets the followers of Ynix and undergoes the trial of the Holy Flame on her journey with the Black Spirit.
     
   • Guardian comes in possession of Ynix to become the judicator of the flame. She wields a new mighty weapon to slay her enemies.
     
   • Guardian's Awakening Weapon looks like a pole weapon with the Holy Flame burning in its blade.
     
   • Guardian will be able to use devastating skills with her newfound powers. She will learn skills where she takes flight and crashes down to the ground, brings forth incredible might with a small gesture, and performs other awe-inspiring feats.
     
   • Guardian's Awakening is being developed in full-force and is planned to be revealed on January 15. (Please note the dates mentioned are for the Korean server and global release dates may differ.)
   
   
   
3. [h3]O'dyllita[/h3]
   
   • Black Spirit, Edana the ancient, Elionism, and Sylvia are some of the cornerstones in the lore of Black Desert. Another chapter of the tale pertaining to the children of the goddess Sylvia will be added in O'dyllita.
     
   • The story will follow the Ahibs who were chased out of Kamasylvia by the Ganelles and their frantic vendetta, the secrets behind the once arid land of O'dyllita, and the immortal alchemist Caphras.
     
   • New and exciting battles against the Turos, with their rugged bodies and cow's heads, as well as formidable golems powered by ancient technology and the Ahibs will be revealed on the Korean server soon in 2020.

4. [h3]Thornwood Castle[/h3]
   
   • Thornwood Castle is located in the southernmost region of O'dyllita. This new island zone will include a unique combination of PvP and PvE elements.
     
   • There are multiple entrances to Thornwood Castle, although at first, you can access the castle through one entrance. You can advance to the center of the zone as your complete more missions.
     
   • Adventurers can choose to fight each other or cooperate with one another.
     
   • Thornwood Castle will be included in the future O'dyllita update. We are planning to release more details and please be sure to keep an eye out on the Global Lab.
     
   
   
   
5. [h3]Blackstar Defense Gear[/h3]
   
   • A new boss defense gear will be implemented. The appearance of the Blackstar defense gear will be vastly different from regular boss defense gear.
     
   • We will carefully make changes to the existing boss defense gears to ensure that it still holds value.
     
   • We will gradually update existing boss defense gear parts starting with the oldest part.
     
   
   
   
6. [h3]Papua Crinea[/h3]
   
   
   • Papua Crinea is an island region located on the outskirts of the world of Black Desert and the home of the Papus and Otters, two iconic and adorable races. In this region, these two races are waging a massive war against each other called the Thousand Years' War
     
   • The Papus and Otters you are going to meet on the isles are going to be quite different from the ones you have met in other regions. Many of the types of interactions you have with them such as dialogues, quests, and knowledge will be applied with unique rules established by the native islanders.
     
   • You will have to pick a side between the Papus or Otters on the isles. Fight monsters, or do a series of quests for one side, and participate in their war for survival!
     
   • Due to the hostile relationship between the Papus and Otters, you will be on bad terms with the Otters if you help the Papus, and vice versa. Knowing that they have been at war for a thousand years, this is no surprise.
     
   • It'll be hard for them to lower their guard towards you as they've been waging war for such a long time. The Papus and Otters you will meet on the isles generally do not welcome outsiders.
     

Starting with Papua Crinea where the secrets behind the Papus and Otters will come to the surface, to the awakening of Guardian as she takes on the trial of the Holy Flame, we will be developing many exciting updates that you can look forward to in 2020!

Content

• Changed the number of Sea Coin Coupons required for the following item when exchanging with Ravinia
  
  • Manos Accessories
    

• Added the new Refresh Barter Information function.
  
  • Added refresh buttons in the barter information UI.
    
  • Barter Refresh has 3 types; Regular Refresh, Instant Refresh, and Reduce Refresh Cooldown.
    
  • Regular Refresh: Uses 1 barter refresh count to immediately refresh the list.
    
  • Instant Refresh: Ignores the remaining cooldown and refreshes the list immediately by consuming 2 barter refresh counts.
    
  • Reduce Refresh Cooldown: You can use all the parley you have remaining to reduce the cooldown of the regular barter refresh.
    

• 10,000 Parley reduces the cooldown by 1 minute. You can consume up to 50,000 Parley each time.
  
  • You cannot choose the amount of time to reduce when you press the Reduce Refresh Cooldown button.
    

Dev Comment

Barter refresh is now divided into 3 types.

The first is Regular Refresh. This is the same as the previous refresh where you use 1 barter refresh count every 4 hours to refresh the list. When you can use Regular Refresh after 4 hours, a message will indicate that it is available for use.

The next is Instant Refresh for you to use when regular refresh is still in cooldown but you have enough barter refresh counts. This will refresh your barter list immediately regardless of cooldown time left. Use it when you want to see new items in a hurry, but remember that it will consume 2 barter refresh counts.

The last is Reduce Refresh Cooldown. This is for when you have refresh cooldown, used up Instant Refresh, and don't have enough barter refresh counts left.

Each time you press the Reduce Refresh Cooldown button, you consume 50,000 Parley to reduce 5 minutes off your cooldown.

This is a fixed value, so if you want to reduce cooldown by 20 minutes, you have to press the button 4 times.

When you have Parley below 50,000, Reduce Refresh Cooldown will consume all the Parley you have left and reduce the amount of cooldown left depending on how much was consumed. For example, if you had 38,000 Parley left and press the button, all of your Parley will be consumed and your cooldown will be reduced by 3 minutes and 48 seconds.

  • Please note that Special Barter Information was maintained.
    

• Delivery Gift Box will not be given as rewards for Imperial Cooking Delivery and Imperial Alchemy Delivery.
  

Dev Comment

Originally, the gift boxes were given to ease your next delivery by providing you with some ingredients required to make more deliveries.

However, with changes to the difficulties of making these deliveries, more gift boxes were collected than intended, which in turn affected the games economy. Hence, we decided to delete the gift boxes.

We are preparing a different method to reward you for making the deliveries. We hope to bring you news of this soon.
