Class Reboots

The class reboots will be released on the live servers once they are completed for all the classes.
Before using the skills of rebooted classes on the Black Desert Global Lab, please make sure to reset your character’s skills to minimize any possible issues.
Patch notes related to the class reboot on the Black Desert Global Lab will be translated to other languages and released afterward.

Musa/Maehwa – Face preset added

▲ Musa’s new face type and hair applied

▲ Maehwa new face type and hair applied

Along with the character reboot, representative character customization of the existing 17 classes will be added. Today, the basic appearance of the representative character of Samurai/Maehwa has been added, and new face types and hairstyles for the remaining classes will be added in the future. (After the reboot update, when you create a character in the future, the appearance will be set as the default appearance.)

This update was created with the intention of further enhancing the external appeal of the existing characters. In particular, there were a lot of additional requests from adventurers for each character’s face, clean skin, and new hairstyles, and I hope this update will quench your thirst for these parts.

All Classes

• The value of resistance applied in PvP has been changed to apply up to 80%, and the value for ignoring resistance has also been changed to apply up to 80%.

  • When the guard gauge is 0, the following skills are not activated.

The passive skills of all classes have been changed to have only one passive skill per class, and it has been changed to a skill with two constant effects. The effect of the changed skill is an intuitive and tangible ability value, and a type of ability that can further strengthen the characteristics of each class is given. However, in this process, the effect was given considering not only the playing experience but also when dealing with opponents with the effect of the passive skill, and the number of classes that can have an excessive effect with the given ability has been adjusted. In addition, in this process, the passive effect, which previously had too much effect, was adjusted, but it was changed so that it can be used in a different way through the use of skills or items.

Gold Bar Exchange Update

• The method of receiving a 120-minute buff effect by passing a gold bar to an NPC has been changed.
  
  • NPCs in each city that can receive the buff effect by passing gold bars are as follows.

•  The items required for exchange in order to receive the buff effect have been changed as follows.

• The buff effect that can be received for 120 minutes after passing 3 gold bars of 10G to the above NPC has been changed as follows.

It is a ‘gold bar buff’ that many adventurers have been using since the update in early 2019, but since only one of each stage effect could be applied, it was somewhat inconvenient for adventurers aiming for the maximum effect. Now, you can hand over an appropriate amount of gold ingots and get the maximum effect, so you can receive the buff effect more conveniently.

Ibedor Scroll Changes

• The summoning method of Ibedor’s Spellbook has been reorganized as follows.

• ※ Before the reorganization, the method of summoning the boss through the use of a summons item can also be used as before.
  
  • Monsters that can be summoned through NPCs consist of 3 stages.

* Regardless of the number of party members, the difficulty and rewards of the boss change according to the number of summons registered by the individual. Therefore, it is recommended to cooperate with many party members.

• The higher the level, the more powerful enemies appear, but the more rewards you can get.

The number of Caphras Stones that can be obtained through hunting has been increased after the expansion update of Caphras Stone Acquisition Point. However, due to this, the charm of Deep Night Fang (Ivedor’s Scroll), which can be obtained in the Odilita area, is somewhat disappointing. To do this, we have prepared a way to summon the boss in the same way as the Crystal Summon Scroll of the Ancient Ruins.

※ You can’t check this update at the Black Desert Lab, but it will be updated on the official server later.

Agris and Caphras loot changes

•  When killing monsters in the area below, the heat efficiency of Agris consumed has been increased.

Local people	the monster	Before change Agris’ hot spot	after change Agris’ hot spot
Aakman Temple	all monsters	40	20 (2 times higher heat efficiency than before)
Hystrian Ruins	all monsters	30	20 (Increased heat efficiency by 1.66 times compared to the previous one)
Kratuka ancient ruins	<Ancient Weapon> Bamol <Ancient Weapon> Beloten <Ancient Weapon> Elkish <Ancient Weapon> Furuko <Ancient Weapon> Quimmel <Border-type ancient weapon> Bamol <Border-type ancient weapon> Veloten <Border-type ancient weapon> Quimmel	30	15 (2 times higher heat efficiency than before)
	<Ancient Destructive Weapon> Veloten <Ancient Destructive Weapon> Elkish	250	125 (2 times higher heat efficiency than before)
	<Annihilation-type ancient weapon> Laiten	500	250 (2 times higher heat efficiency than before)

As the Valencia region loot improvement is updated, many adventurers are looking for many hunting grounds in Valencia, such as Pilar Ku Prison or Ruud Sulfur Mine. Since then, Agris’ thermal efficiency has been improved to increase the attractiveness of Akman Temple, Hystria Ruins, and Hunting Grounds.

※ You can’t check this update at the Black Desert Lab, but it will be updated on the official server later.

• When defeating monsters in the Valley of Olun, the probability of obtaining Caphras Stone among the loot that can be obtained has been increased.

monster name	Caphras Stone Drop Chance
colossus of rock colossus of rock indomitable colossus	1.5 times more than before
Colossus of Olun	About 1.15 times more than before
colossus left arm	About 2.1 times more than before

The Valley of Olun is a hunting ground designed as the main place to acquire Caphras Stones, but it was a bit disappointing to feel the charm of the Valley of Olun after the expansion update of Caphras Stones. This has been changed so that more people can find it in the future by increasing the probability of obtaining the Caphras Stone that can be obtained from the Valley of Olun.

※ You can’t check this update at the Black Desert Lab, but it will be updated on the official server later.

Siege/Node War

•  The maximum number of people who can join a Guild Alliance has been increased from 100 to 150.
  
  • However, the number of participants in the Node/Conquest War is limited to a maximum of 100.
  • As before, the maximum number of guilds that can be joined as an alliance when an alliance is established is 10, and guilds that are already occupying a base or territory cannot join an alliance.
  • Also, it is impossible to join an alliance while Node/Conquest War is in progress.
  • As before, the alliance leader cannot allocate fewer people than the current guild members when inviting each alliance guild.
  • ※ An alliance guild that has accepted the alliance guild invitation cannot receive more than the number of guild members allocated at the time of joining.

The maximum number of people in the Guild Alliance has been expanded to 150. We also had a lot of concerns about the number of alliance members. If the alliance number is maintained as it is now, the growth limit of the guild is too close. It was because it could. However, there were constant opinions from adventurers who gave the opinion that ‘the guild that formed the alliance cannot increase the number of members any more, so the guild cannot grow further’, and it was decided to accept this and expand the maximum number of people to a level that is not excessive. I did.

Other Changes

•  The phenomenon that the area around the rock outpost was abnormally exposed on the minimap has been corrected.
