Mansions – Questline added

If you proceed with this quest and complete the ‘[Manor] Father’s Heart’ quest, you can purchase the Blue Mane Lion’s Manor at 50 Contribution. You can accept this quest through the quest recommended by the Black Spirit (,) when you complete the quests ‘[Boss] Witch of Fear’ or ‘Call Adventurers’.
- The camera has been modified so that you can see a little closer when placing a housing item in placement mode in the Blue Mane Lion’s Manor.

Enhancement Improvements
- Improvements have been made so that it is easier to check and increase the enhancement chance directly in the enhancement UI.
- A button has been added at the bottom of the enhancement UI so that you can more intuitively know the ‘extraction of enhancement probability increase’ that can be performed using Nader’s Belt and Blacksmith’s Scroll.
- Black Spirit (,) – It has been improved so that Black Stone (weapon/armor) can be immediately exchanged for an enhancement rate increase in Equipment Enhancement
- In the Enhancement UI, you can select which materials can be used to increase the Enhancement Chance by clicking the [+] button next to the items of Enhancement Chance Increase and Valk’s Cry
- In the same way that the enhancement rate increase value is applied through items such as Advice of Valks, it can only be exchanged when the currently applied enhancement probability increase value is 0.
- After consuming a certain amount of black stone (weapon/armor) in the material selection UI that is exposed by pressing the [+] button to increase the enhancement probability, you can immediately exchange the enhancement probability increase by +5 ~ +30.
- In addition, you can check and apply the list of materials you have by selecting Advice of Valks.
- You can check and apply the number of Valks’ Cry you have by clicking the [+] button in the Valks’ Cry item.
You can now convert Black Stones (weapons, armor) to stacks (increase the chance of enhancement) in the enhancement UI. Switchable stacks are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30, and the required number of Black Stones is set a little higher than the average because it replaces the hassle of failstacking. In addition, while maintaining the existing method, the enhancement UI has been improved so that you can immediately check ways to raise your stack.Music Album Improvements
- The bug that the time signature line (vertical line) was not displayed properly when enlarging or reducing the score in the composition/score window of the music album has been fixed.
- A note that can express 32 and 64 quarter notes has been added in the composition/score window of the music album.
Last week, when zooming in or changing the BPM and saving the sheet music, the phenomenon that the notes were pushed has been fixed. However, there was an opinion that it was difficult to use the 32nd and 64th notes as it was modified, and accordingly, the two items were improved so that they can be used officially.
Node/Siege War Changes
- Now, if you win in Calpheon, Mediah, or Valencia Siege Wars, in addition to the basic tax benefits, all guild members (including war heroes) will receive a victory reward per individual.
- Victory rewards are considered to be worth over 3 billion silver coins.
- We are planning a special incentive for guilds who fought but did not win. However, to prevent minimal abusing, a certain level of conditions is set.
- In addition to the victory reward, you can get the same tax as before.
- Balenos and Serendia Seige Wars are in the process of being revamped.
- The two regions will be revamped in a different way, and during this period, siege wars will be held only in Calpheon, Mediah, and Valencia regions.
- The two regions will be revamped in a different way, and during this period, siege wars will be held only in Calpheon, Mediah, and Valencia regions.
- A maximum attack/defense limit system will be introduced to Siege wars in Mediah and Valencia. However, this system does not apply to the Calpheon Siege War.
- The maximum attack power and defense limit are applied to all attack actions (PvP) such as the character’s basic attack, non-awakening/awakening skills, and summoning-type skills
| Region | attack limit | evasion limit | Evasion rate limit | Damage Reduction Limit | Damage reduction rate limit |
| Median Territory | 481 | 818 | 20% | 317 | 19% |
| Valencia estate | 500 | 847 | 20% | 339 | 23% |
※ However, this figure is subject to change when it is updated on the official server.
- War Heroes can now play an active role in Siege Wars.
- You can contract with up to 10 heroes for each guild participating in the War.
- The conditions for participation in the siege war have been changed as follows.
| Before change | after change |
| Tier 3 – 4 Occupy 1 or more |
Occupy 1 or more nodes regardless of Tier |
- Guilds that have won the Siege War can now participate in Node Wars.
- Guild can now occupy only one territory for Balenos, Serendia, Calpheon, Mediah, Valencia Siege wars.
※ This update applies only to the official Korean server. - The ‘Brilliant Medal of Honor’, a personal reward for node wars, will be added to the Korean official server.
- Adventurers belonging to the guild and participating in the Siege War can receive the ‘Brilliant Medal of Honor’ item as a personal reward by clicking the Participation Reward button after the Conquest War is over.
- If you do not receive the participation reward after the end of the war, you will not be able to apply for participation to the next war.
- An additional medal will be given to the top 5% adventurers with high score in the winning guild.
- The top 5% of the victory guild’s members is rewarded with no additional compensation if the activity score is the same.
- Accordingly, it will be added that the items with the following buff effects will be given to adventurers with the highest level of activity in the Guild for Victory in Conquest War when they receive the participation reward.
- Reward for 1st place in victory activity: Glory of the battlefield (500 increase in health for 4 hours)
- This item has an expiration date of 24 hours after acquisition, and cannot be used when the expiration period expires.
Some of the rules of the Siege War have been changed. First of all, the rewards have been greatly strengthened so that the participating guilds and guild members can take on the meaning of the challenge. Now, in addition to tax benefits, you will be rewarded with a relatively large victory prize that you can take with you. Guilds who worked hard but lost will also receive special incentives. In addition, the Black Desert Research Lab update in April last year will soon be introduced to official servers
However, as the rewards have been expanded, attack and defense limits have been added to the Conquest of Mediah and Valencia so that more people can have the opportunity to participate. However, we have made sure that the number is not too low, and it will increase little by little according to the growth of adventurers in the future. In addition, the current limit is a fixed method, but we are considering setting optional limits (lower attack power, higher damage reduction or evasion, etc.) to allow various settings depending on character characteristics.
Also, with the reorganization, each guild can re-contract the heroes of the battlefield in the Conquest War. There can be up to 10 heroes on the battlefield, so those who played an active part can also receive victory rewards or special incentives.
● The maximum attack/defense limit introduced in the first stage of the Node War has been changed to apply to all annexes such as forts, flame towers, new battlegrounds, and supply stations.
– However, additional damage from [Battle] Treena Destruction Axe, Node/Conquest War annexes, medium and large siege towers, and cannons is excluded.

You can now transfer character information within your family from the official server (live server) to the Black Desert Research Lab account. The foundation was laid through today’s Black Desert Lab patch, and additional work is now underway on the official server. Therefore, from August 4th at the earliest, character information from the live server can be transferred and used as it is. We will focus more so that it can be reflected as soon as possible. Thank you.
