Today's patch includes a change to the Wizard's model.

This was possible thanks to your widespread support of us and the Wizard class.

Thank you again for your patience and support.

 

As we have completely changed Wizard's body shape, what we thought most important was, "The body shape has changed, but the feel of playing Wizard should stay the same as much as possible." This is because we didn't want you to experience any change in gameplay that you are already familiar with. Therefore, we worked on all the animations for a long time while simultaneously testing the way he feels to play, but please understand that some animations may feel slightly different from the previous ones.

 

In the case of clothing, all of them were reworked to fit the new model. You can see that the overall silhouette of the Wizard has become more stunning, as now he has strong and stiff shoulders.

 

Lastly, with the model change, the previously saved customizations are no longer available. The previous customizations of Wizard that you loved will be preserved via the "Wizard Archive," so we thank you for your understanding.

 

We hope your adventures with the reworked Wizard will be that much more enjoyable.

Thank you.

  • As a result, some of the animations of the Wizard have been changed to match his new model.

Increased Combat EXP Gains from Life-skilling

To prevent adventurers from feeling forced to engage in combat-based PvE activities, we allowed for some Combat EXP gains from Life-skilling activities early on. However, these gains were determined according to figures appropriate back in the day, so we decided to increase the amount of Combat EXP granted for Gathering, Processing, Cooking/Alchemy, Fishing, Horse Taming, and Farming activities to numbers more appropriate to current Black Desert levels. We hope this continues to encourage adventurers to not feel locked to PvE playstyles, and we will continue to make improvements where necessary for these Combat EXP gains in the future as well. Thank you. 

• Increased the Combat EXP gains for the following Life-skilling activities per level.

Reduction of Contribution Points for Certain Nodes and Production Nodes

The number of Contribution Points required for certain Production Nodes and the connecting of certain nodes has been reduced. Contribution Points were originally set when these nodes were released as new territories, but as time has passed and with new territories are on the way, we decided that the original requirement is too high. If you'd previously invested in any of the Nodes listed below, Contribution Points will be returned according to the new requirements after today's maintenance. 

• The amount of Contribution Points required for connecting the following nodes and Production Nodes has been reduced.
  
  • For those who have invested in nodes listed below, Contribution Points will be returned according to the updated requirements. (Up to 107 Contribution Points)

We have also begun improvements to the management of workers. For starters, we have reduced the worker promotion test duration and reduced the required EXP for changing worker skills. The upcoming patches will also see several more improvements such as new worker skills. 

• Reduced the worker promotion test duration to the following:
  
  • Worker promtion test duration : 24 hours → 8 hours
    
    • For workers undergoing the promotion test, 16 hours will be deducted from the remaining time during the March 22nd maintenance (UTC).
• With the adjustments made to the worker promotion test duration, the number of Pearls required for the Worker Instant Promotion has been adjusted according to the remaining time.
• Adjusted the worker's promotion success rate per level to the following:
  • From Lv. 10 Workers, the success rate will increase by 2% per level, and pass the promotion test to the below rate.

• Reduced the required EXP for one skill change has been reduced to the following:
  • Amount of EXP required to change skill: 50% → 20%

Increased the appearance probability of Professional/Skilled workers.

• The probability of workers appearing in each city and village upon hiring a worker via [Work Supervisor] NPC has been adjusted for each level.
  • Increased the probability of professional level workers appearing by approximately 2 times.
  • Increased the probability of skilled level workers appearing by appoximately 1.4 times.
  • With the increased probability of professional and skilled workers appearing, the probability of normal level workers appearing has been reduced.
  • Unified the appearing probability of same level workers (Giant, Human, Goblin, etc.) to be equal.
• However, the appearing probability of workers hired via [Work Supervisor] NPC of Old Wisdom per level remain the same.
• Fixed so related descriptions match the changes made above.

Increased Exchange Limit of Trade Items for Barter

With this update, we've increased the exchange limit per island for Barter to reduce the fatigue on our Adventurers by shortening the travel route each time you set sail. You can now spend less time to make greater profit, especially for level 5, with the increase in the exchange limit.
As much as Special Barter is enjoyable content available for Sailing, we've removed certain items and replaced them with items that are likely to be more appealing.
We will continue to find ways to not only increase your profit but also allow you to more conveniently enjoy Bartering.

• Changed the number of times trade items can be exchanged on an island for each level as follows:

• Barterers signed a contract to exchange new land materials for trade items and have announced they will no longer exchange certain trade items.
  • Changed the items available for Lv. 1 Barter as follows:
  • Added the following seven new items available for Barter:

• • Decreased the quantity of each of the following items required for Barter:

• • Removed the following items to no longer be available for Barter:

• Changed the Riddle-Me Barter Support Box obtainable from the "Explore" option of the Anchor menu due to the changed list of land material items for Barter.
  • However, the contents of the Riddle-Me Barter Support Box you've already obtained will remain the same.

Quest to Reobtain [Sailing] Torn Treasure Map Piece

Following the previous barter update, today's update brings improvements to the Torn Treasure Map Piece items used to upgrade a ship's stats. For Torn Treasure Map Pieces, which could only be obtained through Saltwater Crocodiles, specific pieces were required to complete the map. Over time, unnecessary pieces would accumulate, so we've added a new way to obtain Torn Treasure Map Pieces to prevent such an inconvenience.

• The Old Moon Guild has started proposing new deals for adventurers who've set sail in search of treasures in the Great Ocean.
  
  • We've added a new quest where you can obtain a new Torn Treasure Map Piece. Hand over Torn Treasure Map Piece x2 and Ravinia's Moss Remover x3 to Elro of Oquilla's Eye for the quest.

Improved Hunting Matchlock Controls

• Improved the following controls with your Matchlock equipped:
  
  • Improved to stand up and run instead of roll when pressing L2/LT + ↑ while crouching.
  • Fixed the issue where holding L1/LB while crouched would make your character rapidly and continuously stand up and crouch.
• Fixed the issue where reloading your Matchlock while mounted after consuming Hunter's Salad or Khalk's Fermented Wine would decrease the number of loads to 3 for characters of at least Hunting Guru 1.

• Unified the following logs in the Adventure Log Bookshelf.
  • Shakatu Merchants' Archive: [Deve's Encyclopedia, Alustin's Alchemy, Dorin Morgrim's Secrets]
  • Crow Merchants' Records: [Rulupee's Travels, Caphras' Record]
  • Old Moon Logs: [Book of Margahan, Herald's Journal]
• Adjusted the conditions to obtain certain Adventure Logs.

To help adventurers utilize their Central Market warehouse more efficiently, we have reduced the weight (VT) of equipment, accessories, and most other items by a significant amount. Now, equipment items such as weapons and armor only weigh 1/5 of their previous weight, and accessories will weigh 1/4 of their previous weight. Additionally, we've reduced the weight for items obtained in large quantities from killing monsters, i.e. Black Stones and Caphras Stones, and elixirs.

Reduced Weight of Items in the Central Market Warehouse

• Weight (VT) of items in the Central Market Warehouse has been changed as follows:

Item Category	Before	After
All Equipment (except Tools) (Weapons, Armor, Fishing Rods, Floats, etc.)	50 VT	10 VT
All Accessories	20 VT	5 VT
All Materials	0.1 VT	0.1 VT (unchanged)
Pearl Items	0 VT	0 VT (unchanged)
▲ All Other Items (Black Stone, Memory Fragment, Caphras Stone, Ancient Relic Crystal Shard, Elixirs, etc.)	1 VT	0.3 VT

Added Simple Alchemy Recipe to Convert Green-grade [Party] Elixir → Blue-grade [Party] Elixir.

Compared to blue-grade party elixirs, green-grade party elixirs have always paled in the strength of their buff effects and longevity of their durations. Equally worse was there being no means to convert a green-grade party elixir to its blue-grade counterpart if you had crafted one by accident. Hence, we’ve added a Simple Alchemy recipe that will allow you to craft blue-grade party elixirs for such situations. You will need to purchase Ibellab’s Essence from a material vendor for this recipe, and Mass Process is also available as well.

• Added a Simple Alchemy recipe to process three green-grade party elixirs into one blue-grade party elixir.
  • You can use Ibellab's Essence x1 with the Simple Alchemy recipe below to mass process 10 party elixirs at once.
  • You can purchase the Blue Reagent and Ibellab's Essence from a material vendor NPC for 50,000 Silver and 10,000 Silver, respectively.

 [Farming] Added Recipes for Special Seed/Hypha→Magical Seed/Hypha

A method of obtaining Magical Seeds (Hypha) using Special Seeds (Hypha) has been added, so now you can easily cultivate your garden when you need to change your crops or need additional Magical crops.

• Added a new crafting recipe for Magical Seeds using Special Seed, Mysterious Seed, and Purified Water. You must be at least Farming Master 1.
  
  • Processing - Shaking: Special Seed x1 + Mysterious Seed x2 + Purified Water x10
  • Increased the slots for Shaking from 2 to 3 slots with the addition of the new crafting recipe.

[Farming] Improved Mysterious Crop Fruit Harvest

One of the means to obtain fruit items, essential ingredients for certain alchemy recipes, was via Mysterious crops. In order to increase the appeal of this method, we decided to double the amount of fruits produced through breeding Mysterious crops.

• Doubled the amount of each fruit type produced through breeding Mysterious crops.
  
  • You can now obtain between 30 to 40 fruits through breeding Mysterious crops.

Improved Dragon Scale Fossil for Advice of Valks Exchange

Prior to the quality of life update to the Enhancement UI, the Dragon Scale Fossil to Advice of Valks exchange was the main source of acquiring stacks for enhancement. With today’s update, we’ve made further improvements to that exchange. Not only have we lessened the required number of fossils to exchange for Advice of Valks (+20) and (+40) but we’ve also added Advice of Valks (+30) and (+50) to the exchange system. We hope this makes it easier for our Adventurers to acquire the right stack when they need it.

• Improved the exchange system for obtaining Advice of Valks with Dragon Scale Fossils.
  
  • NPC Ulan of Eilton has begun exchanging Dragon Scale Fossils for Advice of Valks.
  • Items available for exchange with Dragon Scale Fossils are as follows:

Required Item		Exchange Item
Dragon Scale Fossil x20		Advice of Valks (+20) x1
Dragon Scale Fossil x50		Advice of Valks (+30) x1
Dragon Scale Fossil x150		Advice of Valks (+40) x1
Dragon Scale Fossil x400		Advice of Valks (+50) x1

• NPCs for Exchanging Dragon Scale Fossils

  • The quest "Dreamy Cloud Stones!" has been changed to "Dreamy Crystal of Balance!"

Exchange PEN (V) Capotia accessory to another Capotia accessory

• The quest reward of "[EXC] A New Choice: PEN (V) Capotia Accessory," where you can exchange PEN (V) Capotia accessory to another Capotia accessory, has been changed from Drained Crystal of Balance to Dreamy Crystal of Balance.
• Limited to once a day, you can exchange PEN (V) Capotia accessory to another Capotia accessory of the same enhancement level.
  
  • You can accept and proceed the quest via [Old Moon Guild Manager] Jetina.
    
    • Jetina can easily be found using the Menu → Function → Find NPC.

Unify Mercenary's Experience and Mercenary's Skill + Added Mercenary's Life Buff (Removed : 03/23/2023 06:37 UTC)
* This will be added at a later date and announced via the patch notes.

With this update, we've added an additional daily choice in an item that can grant you a Life EXP buff. Now Adventurers who enjoy Life-Skilling content can opt for the Mercenary's Life item for a boost to Life EXP gains every day. Just like Mercenary's Experience, Mercenary's Life can be claimed from Challenges and stored away so you can use them whenever you please.

• Added Mercenary's Life (60 min).
  
  • Effects: Life EXP +50% for 60 min
    
    • You can craft Mercenary's Life (Life EXP +150%) via Simple Alchemy with three Mercenary's Life (Life EXP +50%).

    • This item's effects cannot be stacked with the original Mercenary' Experience and Mercenary's Skill.
• Items with higher buffs can be crafted through Simple Alchemy with three "Mercenary's Experience".

• Added 50 Contribution EXP to the base reward for "Daily Blood Frenzy!"
  
  • The name of said Challenge has been changed to reflect the update.

• Added Destruction Chance text to crystal item descriptions.
  
  • Destruction chances only apply to Adventurers who have negative karma.
• Changed so that Reminiscence of Battle items cannot be transported through the storage "Transport" function.

Though following a previous update, Valtarra's Clairvoyance and Memory has been obtainable through tanning subjugated monsters with the effects of Gathering Mastery 2000 being applied, we've confirmed that effects of your original Mastery Level has been being influencing the Item Drop Rate as well. Instead of fixing the abnormal application of Mastery Level effects, we taken a different approach to improving the system once more by increasing the Item Drop Rate, while still keeping your original Mastery Level from influencing the Item Drop Rate.

• Fixed the issue of your Gathering Mastery level influencing the gathering of Valtarra's Clairvoyance and Memory at Navarn Steppe.
  
  • Increased the probability to obatin Valtarra's Memory at Navarn Steppe by 1.3.
• When gathering from monsters with the following tanning knives at Navarn Steppe, "Gathering Item Drop Rate (with Tanning Knife) +50%" will be applied to the probability of obtaining Valtarra's Clairvoyance and Memory.

• • The buff granted from equipping this tool does not stack with the Item Drop Rate granted by Gathering Mastery.
    
    • Applied upon equipping a tanning knife that does not have the text highlighted above.

Protty Cave and Sycraia Underwater Ruins are not easily accessible when compared to other zones, but they provide a unique underwater atmosphere. To reinforce this underwater theme, we've added the "Protty's Song" buff which will act as a unique mechanic of these underwater zones. There are two different types of Protty's Songs, and the buff will steadily increase in power as you spend more time in a zone. Also, we've increased the prices of junk items dropped from monsters in Protty Cave and Sycraia Underwater Ruins Upper Zone. With these changes, defeating monsters in these zones for a longer period of time will be a more enjoyable experience than before.

Improvements to Loot from Protty Cave and Sycraia Underwater Ruins (Upper Zone)

• Changed the price of an item that drops from enemies in Protty Cave. (The price of items obtained prior to this change will remain unchanged)
  
  • Protty Fin 2,100 Silver → 10,500 Silver
• Increased the drop rate of Ancient Seal - Red Shard from enemies in Protty Cave by 20%.
• Changed the price of items that drop from defeated enemies in Sycraia Underwater Ruins. (The price of items obtained prior to this change will remain unchanged)

  • The duration of the Protty's Song buff will stop depleting when the characer is offline.
  • Your progress toward the next level of Protty's Song will reset upon changing servers, moving to the character select screen, or leaving the zone.

Land of Morning Light and the Ratt Delegation

• Located at the very edge of the Great Ocean, Port Ratt has been newly christened Nampo harbor, the gateway to the Land of the Morning Light. The NPCs of what was formerly Port Ratt have now been sent out as the Ratt Delegation to Oquilla's Eye, where they now proudly represent the Land of the Morning Light.
  
  • You cannot approach Nampo harbor until the Land of the Morning Light is released. [Preview of the World Map]
    • All NPCs/mounts/gardens, etc., once located in former Port Ratt/Vadabin Sea/Juur Sea/Nada Island/Mariul Island/Zagam Island have all been relocated to Oquilla's Eye.

Oquilla's Eye

• With the reveal of the new territory, the former hub of Port Ratt in the Great Ocean has shifted to Oquilla's Eye. Resurrecting in the Great Ocean will now relocate you to Oquilla's Eye instead of Port Ratt or Lema Island.
  
  • Great numbers of adventurers are expected to frequent Oquilla's Eye while traversing the Great Ocean. As a result, the residents of Oquilla's Eye are also worried about a sudden rise of outlaws.
    
    • Changed certain areas of Oquilla's Eye into safe zones.

• • With the origin of Port Ratt trade goods now being changed to the Margoria Sea, there may be changes to the price of certain trade goods after the official server update.

Improvements to Oquilla's Eye Daily Sailing Quests (Combat)

Many Adventurers who wish to craft a carrack are doing daily sailing quests, and they have pointed out how prerequisite quests can cause inconveniences by extending sailing routes. To solve this problem, we removed the prerequisites for daily sailing quests so you can plan out efficient sailing routes that encompass all your quest objectives at once. Furthermore, you can now receive all rewards from completing these quests instead of selecting one reward.

• Changed the following quests so you can accept and progress them without completing prerequisite quests.
  
  • [Daily] Old Moon Guild's Candidum Hunter
  • [Daily] Old Moon Guild's Nineshark Hunter
  • [Daily] Old Moon Guild's Black Rust Hunter

• Changed the following quests so you receive all the rewards instead of choosing only one.

Skip Tutorial Cutscenes with 1 Run-through

Previously, you had to complete a certain quest along with the tutorial with one character in your Family in order to skip the cutscenes in the Tutorial. Now, even adventurers who have not met those requirements can skip those cutscenes as well.

• Improved the skip feature for tutorial cutscenes unlocked after completing the tutorial once as follows:
  • Before: Complete the tutorial once and the "[Tutorial] Black Spirit's Behest" quest to skip the cutscenes.
  • Now: Complete the tutorial once to skip the cutscenes.

"Get the upgrade materials for Flame Tower/Barricade!" "What do we need?" "How many do we need to upgrade Flame Tower?"
Now you'll no longer need to worry about the Node War tier versus the type of annex you're trying to upgrade. Upgrade any annex with just 10 Iron Ingots and 10 Melted Copper Shards, which we hope will make your Node/Conquest Wars slightly less strenuous.

Unified Node/Conquest War Annex Upgrade Materials

• Unified the materials needed to upgrade Barricade and Flame Tower/Hwacha as follows:

Expanded Authority for Guild Skills

• Changed the guild skills "Command to Gather," "Battle Command to Gather," "Breath of Life," and "Blessing of Battle" to now be useable by Guild Staff and Secretaries.

• Improved the conditions and requirements for the guild skill "Command to Gather!" to be more clear.

Previously, it took an hour to use Character Transport between towns via the Character Selection window. As an one hour requirement for Character Transport is deemed to be a bit too long now, we have adjusted it to 20 minutes. We hope that this will make it easier for adventurers to relocate characters scattered across the Black Desert world or transport sub-characters somewhere else.

Adjustment to the time required in Character Transport system

• Changed the time required for Character Transport from the Character Selection window from an hour to 20 minutes.

• The times for Node Wars, Conquest Wars, Trade Wagons, and World Bosses have been adjusted by an hour due to the end of NA/EU summer time.
