Hello Adventurers, This is the Black Desert Console Service Team.
We're informing you of the latest update applied after the scheduled maintenance on Aug 22.
We hope these help you embark on better adventures in game, Adventurers!
SORCERESS
Night Crow
Ultimate: Dark Flame
Prime: Midnight Stinger
Prime: Rushing Crow
Prime: Shadow Eruption
Succession: Beak Kick
Shadow Leap
BERSERKER
Shake Off
LAHN
Prime: Crescent Charm
Stately Dignity
GUARDIAN
Prime: Beast Demolisher
Boss Titles and knowledge from changed Main quests and deleted Bosses can now be obtained.
To be announced.
A new siege weapon, the Dekrogda Relic, has been added to aid in Conquest War defense.
This relic envelops the entire castle in a barrier, preventing airborne entry.
Dekrogda Relics do not require separate installation or management,
and they will be automatically placed near the outer gate, inner gate, and command post when the Conquest War begins.
The barrier and the area they affect will remain intact until the relics are completely destroyed, and once destroyed, they will not regenerate.
As you can see, it is now impossible to enter the castle with a Mythical/Dream Horse if the barrier is deployed.
(* The barrier does not interfere with class skills like Lahn's air-walking skills.)
We have deliberated a lot on this matter.
This is because gameplay like the so-called "Arduanatt Plat" could be seen as a form of content.
Rather than blocking this method,
we have decided to allow the defensive side to use weapons (relics) to counter the offensive side's strategies, and the offensive side can destroy the relics as needed to expand their strategic options.
It may not be a perfect or entirely rational method, but we will closely monitor the changes in Conquest Wars with the Dekrogda Relic update.
Additionally, we will continue to monitor the combat dynamics of offensive and defensive battles to provide a more enjoyable Conquest War.
Thank you.

- The Dekrogda Relic has been discovered.
- This relic was dug up by the Old Moon Guild and it is said to continuously emit a pulsating wavelength.
- According to research, this wavelength affects Mythical and Dream horses, preventing them from flying near them.
- Castle Lords of each territory have made agreements with the Old Moon Guild to utilize Dekrogda Relics in defending their castles.
- This relic was dug up by the Old Moon Guild and it is said to continuously emit a pulsating wavelength.
- At the start of Conquest War, five Dekrogda Relics will appear surrounding the castle.
The five Dekrogda Relics form a barrier and an inner area around the castle until all are destroyed.
If Arduanatt or Mythical Arduanatt attempts to enter the barrier-surrounded castle using Wings of Wind, Wings of Freedom, or Wings of Swiftness, they will be immediately grounded due to the Dekrogda Relics' interference.
If Mythical Diné attempts to enter the barrier-surrounded castle using the Triple Jump skill, it will be immediately grounded due to the Dekrogda Relics' interference.
While the barrier is active, all airborne movement skills within the castle's inner area are similarly restricted.- Two Dekrogda Relics are placed near the Outer Gate, two near the Inner Gate, and one near the Command Post.
When the Outer Gate is destroyed, Dekrogda Relics near the Outer Gate can be attacked.
When the Inner Gate is destroyed, Dekrogda Relics near the Inner Gate and Command Post can be attacked.
※ The defensive guild will not be affected by Dekrogda Relic's effects during the Conquest War.
