Global Lab Changes this week!

Mass of Pure Magic

• When excavating at the Tomb of Stars and the Tomb of Sleeping Mind, the working time has been reduced by 50% compared to the previous one.
• The probability of obtaining a Mass of Pure Magic that can be obtained during excavation at the Star Tomb and the Tomb of Sleeping Node has been changed to 100%. 
• The probability of obtaining a Mass of Pure Magic that can be obtained during excavation at the dividing mountain base has been increased by 4 times compared to the previous one.
• As the chance of acquiring Mass of Pure Magic items increases through excavation of bases, it has been added that you can acquire  Mass of Pure Magic as loot even when you defeat monsters in the following areas.

The source of Mass of Pure Magic has been expanded. We have made it possible to obtain a Mass of Pure Magic even in low-level hunting grounds, and in the case of production bases, we have improved the working time and probability, so that those who are just preparing Blackstar equipment can supply enough.

Summer Season

World Bosses – Loot System

• When attacking the world boss, the minimum standard damage for loot has been applied.
  • The right to obtainloot is given only when the amount of damage greater than the threshold is achieved.
  • The minimum damage is equivalent to 0.01% of the shared health of each world boss on all servers.
  • The world bosses to which the minimum standard damage is applied are as follows.

Improvements have been made to the part where adventurers who participated in hard work and those who did not can get the same reward when confronting a ‘Nightmare boss’ like Bloodstorm Nouver. We’ve now applied a minimum damage standard to the loot requirements, meaning that fighting this boss requires minimal effort. However, the standard was not set too high considering the time for those with low growth values ​​and the second boss attack (two bosses appear, the time to attack one and then the other).

Also, in the case of Nouver, who wears Nouver and Bloodwind, the current resurrection base is too far away, so please note that we are preparing for improvement in this area.

Caphras Stones

• When killing monsters in the following areas, the acquisition rate of Caphras Stone as loot has been increased.

The drop of each hunting ground has been increased so that Caphras Stone can be supplied more smoothly than now. The number of hunting grounds where Caphras Stone and Ancient Spirit Powder are already dropped has been increased, and Kratuga, Aakman Temple, and Hystria Ruins, which did not appear at all, have been added to the drop list. However, the amount that can be obtained is based on the valley of Olun, which is currently set the highest, and other areas have been adjusted so that it does not reach this (except the Crypt of Resting Thoughts). At the same time, in the case of daily quest rewards that can be carried out in all hunting grounds, we have improved the supply and demand a little more smoothly by increasing the previously insignificant number. If you hunt hard even at the beginning of Valencia, the growth section, you can get 5-10 Caphras Stones (based on 1 hour).

In addition, in this hunting ground adjustment, we did not include the Elvia area first, because we are considering the additional use of elemental weapons that are currently only available in the Elvia area. Therefore, please note that in the Elvia region, additional updates will be made after the elemental weapon-related patch has been processed, if it is still judged to be insufficient.
※ Updates related to the Elvia region and elemental weapons will be notified through the Black Desert Research Center as soon as possible.

In addition, we will continue to check the supply and demand of Caphras Stones after today’s patch, and we will continue to check the parts affected by the supply expansion (gathering, various exchanges, Node War rewards, Blackstar equipment, etc.) will be

The trend of interfering with the progress of Khan Raid has been an issue that has been constantly raised. However, since we can only fix it this time, we would like to apologize to the adventurers who suffered damage because they were unable to cope. We will continue to maintain a policy that ensures that any act of harassing other adventurers, whether on land or at sea, is accompanied by corresponding responsibilities and risks. In addition to this, we are working on a fix for bugs related to the movement of guns or ships. We will do our best to deliver the good news before it is too late.

Other Changes

Class Changes

All Classes

Greetings from the Black Desert Studio.
Today, we would like to talk about the basic movements and controls of classes—in particular, Archer and the classes released after him. When we were creating Archer’s basic movements, we wanted his movements to look a bit more natural, so we added a new, exclusive animation. As this animation ended up being implemented on Archer, Guardian, Hashashin, Nova, Sage, and the recently released Corsair, we received a lot of feedback saying that their movements felt frustrating to control, especially when compared to the older classes. Then the class reboot was announced, and we saw that some Adventurers were concerned that the existing classes would also be changed to be like the newer classes.

We would like to make this absolutely clear, there are no plans to change the basic movements and controls of older classes. Furthermore, we will be improving the basic movements and controls of Archer, Guardian, Hashashin, Nova, Sage, and Corsair to match the feel of the older classes. We’re currently working to prepare this patch as soon as possible and expect to release it in the Global Labs on July 22.

Truthfully, we’ve heard a great deal of feedback saying that “this class feels heavy” or “the movement delay is really cumbersome.” Looking back, we should have decided to make improvements sooner, so we would like to sincerely apologize for how late it being worked on.

We want to thank our Adventurers worldwide for always sending us such excellent feedback. We will do our best to make Black Desert the best it can be.

Striker

Guardian

•  The bug that the effect of increasing the critical hit probability of the Prime: Frostbitten Axe I~V skill was not applied has been fixed.

Corsair

The core of Corsair’s movement technology is ‘barrel riding’, starting with ‘Mareka’s Rope’. In particular, the connection related to this can be an advantage in that it flows like water, but there was a feeling of being caught in the middle due to the cooldown of the barrel riding. In this regard, we have improved the skill ‘Riding the Barrel’ so that it can be used even during the cooldown, adding to the fun of this part. In addition, there is a part where the skill manipulation keys overlap with the manipulation keys of other skills, so the order of activation of each skill has been changed so that the skill with the difficult manipulation is activated first.

•  As the Corsair class is released on the official server, it has been changed so that the Corsair class can be created in the Black Desert Lab.
• A challenge (Y) that can be completed as a Corsair character has been added to the Black Desert Research Lab.
