2021-03-30 00:00
Adventurers,
Black Desert’s latest class sets foot upon the Black Desert world. Join Sage on his crusade to defeat the blood-eyed invaders, and get rewards for leveling him up! Also this week we bring in UI position editing, the new Olvia server buffs and new level up milestones to earn Capotia Accessories!
Check out the full details below.
New Class – Sage
● The Last Ancient, Sage, has been released.
● A new Chat Group has been introduced, ‘Hall of Adventurers: Sage’, offering a chat channel dedicated to all things Sage.
● Upon reaching level 60, Sage will be able to acquire the ‘Ator’s Eye’ skill which grants access to the following locations without requiring the material cost to enter:
- Aakman Temple
- Hystria Ruins
- Kratuga Ancient Ruins
- Sycraia Underwater Ruins (Abyssal Zone)
* Sycraia Underwater Ruins will be added in a future update.
-In order to access Aakman Temple, you will need to have completed the ‘Chaotic Aakman Temple’ questling available from the NPC Atosa.
- In order to access Hystria Ruins, you will need to have completed the ‘Rumors at Ibellab Oasis’ questline from Sameh in Ibellab Oasis.
- After the questline is completed, you can gain access to Hystria Ancient Ruins or Aakman Temple by talking to NPC Atosa at the Aakman Node. The ‘Black Spirit’s Claw’ cost for other classes is waived for Sage once he unlocks the ‘Ator’s Eye’ skill.
As you may know, Black Desert uses stats from both the Awakening and Main weapons when calculating Damage to maintain the value of both weapons.
As Sage will be launching with his Succession, and his Awakening will be added in the future, his damage calculations will use 100% of his Main weapon damage.
Please note that when Sage’s Awakening is released, the damage formula will be changed to apply both Awakening and Main Hand damage.
As Sage will be launching with his Succession, and his Awakening will be added in the future, his damage calculations will use 100% of his Main weapon damage.
Please note that when Sage’s Awakening is released, the damage formula will be changed to apply both Awakening and Main Hand damage.

Character Changes
● Fixed an issue where in certain circumstances, the Emergency Escape effect would cancel immediately after appearing to work.
Many Adventurers reported the issue where Emergency Escape would deactivate in certain situations (much like the now-solved issue with difference in elevation), and it was one that we also wanted to solve asap. However, it was very difficult to fix completely and there were many different patches related to this issue. Still, we continued to work on the issue and our close analysis paid off with a possible solution. When we found the solution, we applied the update as soon as we could. We would like to thank all of our Adventurers who continued to send in reports. Our team will continue to work to create a better gameplay experience for our players.
