Hello Adventurers, This is the Black Desert Console Service Team.
We're informing you of the latest update applied after the scheduled maintenance on Nov 14 (Thu).
We hope these help you embark on better adventures in game, Adventurers!
BERSERKER
Giant Leap
VALKYRIE
Black Spirit: Prime: Shining Dash
LAHN
Tailspin
DOSA
Prime: Unsa's Heir
While upgrading your Season Character's Naru gear and then converting to PRI (I) Tuvala gear, many adventurers found it cumbersome to chat with the Black Spirit again to fulfill the Season Pass requirement of equipping after enhancement. This especially affected new adventurers who didn't know they could skip this by talking to the Black Spirit again. To make things smoother, now you just need to reach the right enhancement level during your upgrade to meet the Season Pass quest requirement.
With this update, the maximum number of participants for each territory in Node Wars has been adjusted based on the day of the week.
We've reviewed the participation data from adventurers across all regions since the Node War revamp and it turns out that most lack around 5 to 10 participants, and even guilds that can gather the maximum number of participants tend to miss the limit around 3 times per week.
Based on this, we've adjusted the system to allow the most number of adventurers to participate in Node Wars by day of the week.
We hope more guilds will take an interest and join in, and we'll continue to make adjustments through ongoing data analysis.
