Greetings Adventurers,

Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on June 22, 2022 (Wed).

[h3]Great Ocean Zones and Ship Upgrade Revamp[/h3]

The revamps to Great Ocean monster zones and ship upgrade methods introduced in the GM note are now here.
First, we're improving the loot and drop rates in Great Ocean monster zones. We wanted to add more zones with unique traits for our Adventurers to choose from just as we did to the monster zones on land.
We also adjusted the difficulty of Saltwater Crocodile monster zones to be available for solo Adventurers, but will maintain loot dropping for up to two party members as before.

To make Great Ocean content more accessible to a greater number of Adventurers, we applied a revamp to the means of upgrading ships as well.
Certain zones will now drop Verdant Black Stones, certain region quests will reward a bunch of Sea Monster's Ooze, and new recipes for Adhesive for Upgrade have been added as well.
We will continue to look for making quality of life improvements so many more Adventurers will easily be able to access more Great Ocean content.

We'd like to thank all of our Adventurers who love sailing the high seas of Black Desert.

● Increased the drop rates and amount of loot obtained from defeating the following Great Ocean monsters.


● Changed the following monster zones to now bear unique traits with the adjustments made to loot reward types and drop chance.


● Adjusted the Agris Fever Points consumed when defeating the following Great Ocean monsters with the adjustments to junk loot.


● Adjusted the difficulty for the Saltwater Crocodile Habitat from Party of 2 to now be soloable.- The health of Saltwater Crocodiles has been reduced by 40% accordingly.- The loot drops remain same as before if attempted with a party of 2.
● Increased the Combat and Sailing EXP gains for your character and EXP gains for your Sailors when defeating [Outlaw of the Vadabin Sea], [Main Fleet], and normal Goldmont Small, Medium, and Large Battleships.
● Added an item that drops from defeating Sea Monsters
- Ferocious Sea Monster's Spirit Pouch: Vendor loot affected by Agris Fever and Item Collection Increase Gauge.


- Sea Monster's Bizarre Fang: Drops at a low rate from defeating certain Sea Monsters. Can be exchanged for the following items from [Crow Coin Exchange] and [Trade Goods Exchange] NPCs.* Sea Monster's Bizarre Fang x1 → Blue Whale Oil
* Sea Monster's Bizarre Fang x1 → Blue Whale Tendon


● Added region quests in the Arsha Sea near Iliya Island and Nox Sea near Lema Island to obtain Sea Monster's Ooze.


● Added 3 new Heating recipes to craft Adhesive for Upgrade used to upgrade Epheria Caravel and Galleass.
- Sea Monster's Ooze x1 and White Cedar Sap x300
- Sea Monster's Ooze x1 and Acacia Sap x300
- Sea Monster's Ooze x1 and Elder Tree Sap x300
* The previous recipe involved Sea Monster's Ooze x1, White Cedar Sap x100, Acacia Sap x100, and Elder Tree Sap x100

● Adjusted the materials required for upgrading Epheria Caravel and Galleass.
- You will now need 4 Seaweed Stalk to upgrade a Caravel (previously 6).
- You will now need 3 Tide-Dyed Standardized Timber Square to upgrade a Galleass (previously 6).

[h3]Contents[/h3]

● Improved the summoning method and loot dropped from using the Manshaum Narc's Stone as follows:
- You can now use 5 Manshaum Narc's Stone to summon an empowered boss with a party.
- You can activate the "Faded Ancient Relic" summoning device that has appeared in the northern Lemoria Beacon Towers.
* You also simply summon by pressing RMB on the scroll as before.

[imghttps://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/28674304/d95e790e54065560526b027d5c8593bd17917030.png

- The following changes have been applied to Narc Brishka and Voraro who are summoned from the Manshaum Narc's Stone.
* Narc Brishka's health increased by approx. 140%.
* Narc Brishka's DP reduced by approx. 11%.
* Narc Brishka's AP increased by approx. 80%.
* Narc Brishka's shield's health increased by approx. 940%.
* Voraro's health increased by approx. 90%.
* Voraro's DP reduced by approx. 11%.
* Voraro's AP increased by approx. 60%.
* Narc Brishka and Voraro will no longer be affected by debuff effects.

[h3]Item[/h3]

As we mentioned in the GM note, we're implementing a bunch of changes such as reducing the weight of Imperial Delivery boxes, improving the Item Recover function, etc.
We're thankful for all of our Adventurers and their constant feedback, and we look forward to hearing your thoughts on these new additions as well.

● Changed the weight of the following cooking and alchemy boxes used for Imperial Delivery to 10LT:

We're adding new Alchemy recipes for crafting Purified Lightstones
These new recipes use Magical Lightstone Crystals instead of Black Gem Fragments. You can exchange Imperfect Lightstones or Lightstones you no longer need for Magical Lightstone Crystals with a character of at least Alchemy Guru 1 through Dalishain the Wandering Alchemist.

● Added new Alchemy recipes to craft Purified Lightstones.


- Added a new exchange with the Wandering Alchemist Dalishain. Characters that have Alchemy Guru 1 or higher can hand over lightstones to receive "Magical Lightstone Crystal," which is to perform the newly added alchemical formulas.


[h3]Monster[/h3]

We are making adjustments to the Gyfin Rhasia Temple Underground loot drop rates.
The drop rates of items such as Forest Fury, Elkarr, and others was reduced. The drop rate of Caphras Stones was increased and we added the Destruction Spirit Stone to be dropped here.
These change were not made to lower the drop rates in Gyfin Rhasia Temple Underground. The main focus of these changes was to adjust the value of certain loot across all the monster zones.

● Made the following changes to the Gyfin Rhasia Temple Underground:
- Increased the drop rate of Caphras Stones by approximately 15%.
- Added "Destruction Spirit Stone" to drop in this monster zone.
- Added "Trace of Memory" to drop in this monster zone.
- Reduced Elkarr drop rate by approximately 75%.
- Reduced Krogdalo's Origin Stone drop rate by approximately 85%.
- Reduced Forest Fury drop rate by approximately 69%.
- Reduced Swaying Wind Shard drop rate by approximately 52%.
- Reduced Pure Forest Breath drop rate by approximately 69%.

[h3]Mount[/h3]

We originally made the ability to use certain skills while auto-running on a mount available to Adventurers with high enough mastery in Training. Considering how much more difficult it is to level Training compared to other Life Skills, we had initially set the bar to "at least Artisan 1," but found that not as many Adventurers were using this ability. With the hopes that many more Adventurers will enjoy this ability, we decided to lower the requirement to "at least Professional 1."

● Lowered the requirement to use the function which automatically used certain skills while auto-moving on mounts.


[h3]Quest[/h3]

We've added some side quests for world-building purposes.
We plan on adding more quests like these where you, the Adventurer, will be helping out random NPCs, both changing the in-game world for the better as you get a better understanding of said NPCs, thereby breathing new life into the immersive world of Black Desert.

● Added several new side quests in the world of Black Desert.
- A child with a beautiful voice is afraid to sing before others in the streets of Calpheon.
- A soldier stationed at Trina Fort is exhausted by the ongoing war.
- Cries for aid can be heard from the Falres Dirt Farm and Bain Farmland in Calpheon.
- A bounty hunter at the Dancing Marlin Tavern near Velia wharf has a strange tale to share.
- Constante, innkeeper at the Golden Toad Inn, has a tale to share about a familiar face from Balenos. (Available if you've completed [Balenos] [Crossroad] The Aged Chief's Last Gift)
- A merchant who's left for the Ibellab Oasis has yet to return to Valencia.
- Benns Joanna of the Lamute Gang has a tale of a unique friendship on the isle of Papua Crinea.

[h3]System[/h3]

Changed the requirement of the notification popping up at the top of the screen as previously mentioned in the GM notes. Previously, the notification displayed when a green item or higher was obtained. We have changed the requirement to only displaying for blue items or higher so the notification is more useful.
In the past, obtaining Black Stones was a worthy feat, but as it’s become easier to attain them, we have adjusted notifications not to display for them even though they are a red grade item.

● Changed the requirements for obtained items to appear at the top of the screen as system notifications as follows:
- Improved the system alert displayed when obtaining items from crafting, dismantling, treasure chests, looting, gathering, quests, and talking with NPCs to now only appear for obtaining items of blue grade or higher
* Only notifications for blue grade or higher items that can be registered to the Center Market will show.
* Black Stones and some items didn't show the notifications regardless of item grades.
● Changed so that cheer motion doesn't activate when obtaining Black Gem.

● New Outfit: [Mystic] Sapphire Storm (Squall)

Greetings Adventurers,

Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on June 15, 2022 (Wed).

[h3]Balenos Main Questline Renewal[/h3]

The Balenos main questline, which includes Velia, the hometown of many Adventurers, has undergone a renewal. We've added fully-voiced cutscenes, a graphical makeover for the major NPCs, reorganized the quest pathing, all for the sake of improving our focus on storytelling. We hope this renewal will help our new Adventurers better understand the world of Black Desert, and our veteran Adventurers enjoy a fresh, updated look to the Balenos main questline.
We believe updating existing content to be as important as adding new content, and we will strive to continue with improving the game.

● Renewed the Balenos Main Questline with fully-voiced cutscenes and a storyline that better fleshes out the NPCs and their relationships with each other.
- After the opening tutorial with Illezra in the desert ends, choose [Ancient Stone Chamber] instead of [Mountain of Eternal Winter] when prompted to begin this main questline.
* Characters who chose to start in the [Mountain of Eternal Winter] must complete the "Everfrost main questline," "Sights of Mediah questline," "Succession/Awakening (Drakania only requires Succession) and skill preset questlines" to begin this questline.
- You can find the requirements of this questline under "[Balenos] Breaker of Chains" in Quests (O) - Main tab.
- Due to the renewal, certain Knowledge entries have been modified while others have been added for the Balenos territory.
- The Balenos main questline renewal consists of 3 branching stories.
- Completing the renewed Balenos main questline will increase your Amity with the relevant Quest NPCs.
- The renewed Balenos main questline has several Crossroad quests added which will determine the final outcome of the questline.


* Adventurers who have already started the pre-renewal Balenos main questline cannot begin the renewed main questline.
* Season characters who've completed "[Pet] Bareeds' Junaid" will need to complete "[Balenos] Dark Clouds Over Velia" to be able to select the simplified questline.
* Lv. 1 characters who were already created before this update will need to forfeit all quests, excluding Family quests, in order to begin with the renewed Balenos main questline.

● Added a tutorial focused on storytelling for new characters.
- This prologue tutorial has your newly created Lv. 1 character traverse the desert sands with Illezra, and can be skipped by your Family if you've completed the entire tutorial at least once.
* Newly created Lv. 1 characters have had their quest list reset for the sake of proceeding with the tutorial.
* The tutorial does not offer gamepad mode at this time and will be added in a later update.


[h3]Elvia Realm in Calpheon[/h3]

Elvia Calpheon invades the live servers today.
There, you will be able to face the even more powerful Saunil, Rhutum, Giants, Hexe Skeletons, and Trolls.
Each of the old and familiar monster zones were given unique and interesting mechanic due to the "Elvia Distortion Phenomenon" and the Rift of Despair at its center.
The mechanics that can increase your efficiency are listed below, so be sure to take note of them.

Elvia Calpheon will drop materials required to obtain the new "Godr-Ayed" weapons and their enhancement materials. It also drops new loot items required to upgrade alchemy stones as well. We hope this will become a new challenge that our Adventurers will eagerly charge in to take on.

● Hadum, the God of Despair, who spread her corruption upon Serendia, has raised the cursed Black Sun bursting with destructive energies over the skies of Calpheon.
- With Calpheon corrupted by the Elvia Realm, its ecology has begun to distort.
- Saunil Camp, Rhutum Outstation, Gehaku Plain, Hexe Sanctuary, and Quint Hill have fallen to the corruption, as Hadum-infested monsters now appear in these zones.
- During combat, the Elvia Distortion Phenomenon can occur in Elvia Calpheon, which will alter the weather and affect which Shadow of Nightmares monster will spawn.
- You can loot materials for exchanging/enhancing the Godr-Ayed weapon and upgrading alchemy stones in Elvia Calpheon.
- You can loot the "Ancient Spirit Light" item from monsters, and upon purifying Rifts of Despair with it will grant you a powerful buff.

[h3]The Elvia Distortion Phenomenon[/h3]

● "Rifts of Despair" have begun to tear open throughout Elvia Calpheon, causing occurrences of the so-called "Elvia Distortion Phenomenon" wherever they appear.
● Defeating monsters near a "Rift of Despair" has a low chance to cause the "Elvia Distortion Phenomenon" to occur.
● The "Elvia Distortion Phenomenon" will spawn a powerful boss monster and change the weather.
- If lightning begins to strike, Gigagord will appear with its minions.
- If icy winds begin to blow, a Cyclops boss monster will appear.
- If a meteor falls from the sky, an Ogre boss monster will appear.

▲ The Elvia Distortion Phenomenon occurs near a Rift of Despair which can be found all over Elvia Calpheon.


▲ The weather changing due to the Elvia Distortion Phenomenon


▲ Gigagord, Ogre, and Cyclops

● When the Elvia Distortion Phenomenon occurs, defeating the following monsters will apply damage and DP reduction debuffs to the Elvia Calpheon boss monsters.
- Saunil Camp: Saunil Siege Captain, Saunil Commander, Saunil Siege Tower
- Rhutum Outstation: Glorious Rhutums, Rhutum Tower, Grand Rhutum Chief
- Primal Giant Post: Giant Fighter, Gehaku
- Hexe Sanctuary: Green Orc Skeleton Warrior, Skeleton Witmirth, Hexe Marie
- Quint Hill: Ancient Troll
● Defeat the bosses of the Elvia Distortion Phenomenon to receive the "Corrupting Darkness" buff and "Remnants of Darkness" debuff.
- Corrupting Darkness: Significantly increases damage dealt to Elvia Calpheon monsters (for 5 minutes)
- Remnants of Darkness: Cannot obtain the Corrupting Darkness buff with this debuff (lasts for 30 minutes)

[h3]Ancient Spirit Light[/h3]

● Defeating monsters in Elvia Calpheon has a low chance to drop the "Ancient Spirit Light" item, which can be used to purify Rifts of Despair.
- Using the Ancient Spirit Light near a Rift of Despair will grant the "Blessing of the Ancient Spirits" buff, which greatly increases your damage for 5 minutes.
* Blessing of the Ancient Spirits: Significantly increases damage dealt to Elvia Calpheon monsters during the buff duration
- The Ancient Spirit Light item will last for 6 hours once looted and will disappear once the duration is over.
- Using the Ancient Spirit Light without a Rift of Despair nearby will not grant any buff.
- The Corrupting Darkness buff cannot stack with the Blessing of the Ancient Spirits.


[h3]Elvia Calpheon Monster Zones[/h3]

[h3]Saunil Camp[/h3]


[h3]Rhutum Outstation[/h3]


[h3]Gehaku Plain[/h3]


[h3]Hexe Sanctuary[/h3]


[h3]Quint Hill[/h3]


● Added new materials which drop from all monster zones in Elvia Calpheon.
- Scorching Sun Shard: material used to craft Scorching Sun Crystal (for exchanging Godr-Ayed weapons) and Scorching Sun Gemstone (for enhancing Godr-Ayed weapons).


- Crystalized Despair: material used to craft "Blessed Soul Fragment" for upgrading alchemy stones.


- Corrupted Breath: material processed via Simple Alchemy with "Frenzy Draught" to make "Frenzy Draught of Corruption."


[h3]Godr-Ayed Weapons / Alchemy Stone Upgrade[/h3]

The "Godr-Ayed Weapons" were added with the introduction of Calpheon Elvia. Godr-Ayed weapons are a different version of the pre-existing Blackstar weapons designed to break down the progression of the TET (IV) to PEN (V) Blackstar journey into smaller steps so that Adventurers can continue to improve.

Godr-Ayed weapons can be obtained by converting TET (IV) Blackstar weapons. However, in order to convert your Blackstar weapon, you must have the "Scorching Sun Crystal," which is dropped as loot in Calpheon Elvia.

Godr-Ayed weapons can be enhanced 5 levels, each level will improve its stats. The "Scorching Sun Gemstone" is required to attempt to enhance the weapon. The gemstone can be made with the "Scorching Sun Shard" that drops as loot in Calpheon Elvia.

As the enhancement levels were divided into 5 levels, each attempt will be easier to accomplish than the PEN (V) Blackstar attempt. However, the amount of Silver required to make it into PEN (V) will be similar to attaining a PEN (V) Blackstar.
* We have increased the maximum price of the PEN (V) Blackstar weapons on the Central Market in order to maintain its value.

We have received so much feedback from our Adventurers after the Dev Commentary we posted on May 26. There was an especially high interest about the Godr-Ayed weapons. So, we would like to use this opportunity to thank everyone that took the time to give us feedback.

As PEN (V) Blackstar Weapons are currently one of the highest-tier items in Black Desert, we do not have any plans to introduce a "guaranteed upgrade" path for them. For Adventurers who've already faced great difficulty in obtaining the PEN (V) Blackstar Weapons, we believe Godr-Ayed is the "bare minimum mechanism" for them.

We will strive to contemplate on the future direction of Black Desert to become the best it can be.

● Added Godr-Ayed main weapons and awakening weapons.
- You can obtain Godr-Ayed weapons by converting a TET (IV) Blackstar weapon.
- Godr-Ayed weapons can be registered and purchased at each of its enhancement levels on the Central Market.
- Godr-Ayed weapons have five enhancement levels. It starts from +0 and go up to PEN (V). (+0 → PRI (I) → DUO (II) → TRI (III) → TET (IV) → PEN (V) )
* Godr-Ayed weapons do not drop an enhancement level when failing PRI (I) → DUO (II) enhancement attempts.
- The materials required to convert and enhance Godr-Ayed weapons drop as loot in Elvia Calpheon.


[h3]Godr-Ayed Weapon Conversion[/h3]

● Added the "[Godr-Ayed Weapon] Merindora's Calling" quest where you can convert TET (IV) Blackstar main weapons and awakening weapons into Godr-Ayed weapons.
- You can accept this quest from the Black Spirit (/) by having a TET (IV) Blackstar main weapons and awakening weapons in your Inventory.
- You can then proceed with the quest via Merindora, the Eldest Spirit in the capital city of Grána. You will need to hand over "Scorching Sun Crystal" and a TET (IV) Blackstar weapon to get a sealed Godr-Ayed weapon.
* "Scorching Sun Crystals" can be made by gathering "Scorching Sun Shards" that drop in Elvia Calpheon as loot.
* Item Copy and branding will be removed from the Blackstar weapon used to convert to a Godr-Ayed weapon.
* Additionally, Blackstar weapons copied via Item Copy system cannot be used in the quest to convert into Godr-Ayed weapons.

[h3]Godr-Ayed Weapon Enhancement[/h3]
● Added "Scorching Sun Gemstones" that are used to enhance Godr-Ayed weapons.
- Scorching Sun Gemstones can be made by Heating (L) "Scorching Sun Shards" (which drops as loot in Elvia Calpheon) with "Flawless Magical Black Stones."
- Godr-Ayed weapons lose 10 max durability for each failed enhancement attempt.

[h3]Godr-Ayed Weapon Stats[/h3]

Main Weapons / Awakening Weapons

[h3]Alchemy Stone Upgrade[/h3]

● Added the "Blessed Soul Fragment" item, which is used to upgrade Alchemy Stones.
- This item can be used to upgrade the following Alchemy Stones:
* Yellow grade and higher Destruction and Protection Alchemy Stones that are Sharp or better.
* Vell's Heart
* Khan's Heart: Destruction and Khan's Heart: Protection
* Perilla's Star
- You can Polish/Grow upgraded alchemy stones. However, the upgrade and the Blessed Soul Fragment will disappear if you fail the growth attempt on an upgraded alchemy stone.
- You can obtain Crystallized Despair x1 by extracting it from upgraded alchemy stone.

[h3]Monster Zone Info UI Rework[/h3]

Monster Zone Info UI will be updated as mentioned during Calpheon Episode 2. We have improved the Monster Zone UI to easily check each Monster Zone Item Drop, Daily Quests, Knowledge, and other info in-game. The recently added Monster Zones can be checked with the hashtags and we are also preparing for an Adventurer's Board link function to check useful Monster Zone Info that was written by Adventurers or Monster Zone guides. We hope that Monster Zone Info UI is useful and improves our Adventurers' experience.

● Revised the Drop Item Info UI into the Monster Zone Info UI to check various info regarding Monster Zones.


- You can find Monster Zone Info UI in Menu (ESC) - Adventure (F5) - Menu (ESC) - Monster Zone Info.
