Black Shrine Teleport
Black Shrine is a content where you challenge the bosses of the Land of Morning by setting the difficulty level yourself, and is a content that many adventurers are still enjoying to this day.
In today’s update, a function to immediately enter the Black Shrine’s subjugation area was added. The dokkebi princess who encountered various incidents in Donghae Province helps her with this.
Now, you can select the desired difficulty level in the Black Shrine UI and immediately enter battle. We hope to provide a more comfortable environment for adventurers who enjoy the Black Shrine and to allow more adventurers to challenge the boss of the Black Shrine. .
- A feature that allows immediate entry into the Black Shrine boss subjugation area has been added.
-
- The dokkebi princess began to perform a special magic trick for travelers who challenge the Black Shrine.
- You can immediately move to each boss challenge location and challenge each boss using the subjugation entry button, and when the battle is over, you will return to the original location.
Valencia Jail Guards
- As the entrance to the Aakman Temple and Hystria Ruins, ruins of ancient civilizations, have been opened in the Great Desert of Valencia, and news of explorers exploring the desert has been heard, the number of guards and executioners at the sulfur mine camp that houses the wicked players in the desert has been strengthened.
- The attack damage of the guards and executioners of the Sulfur Mine Camp has been increased.
- The waiting time between guards and bailiffs at the Sulfur Mine Camp before attacking them after detecting prisoners has been reduced.
- When attacked by the guards and executioners of the Sulfur Mine Camp, there is a 100% chance to apply a movement speed reduction debuff.
Elixir Reorganization
Now, there is no need to craft [Party] elixirs, and regular elixirs will be reorganized to replace party elixirs.
Even if you take a regular elixir, the same effect is applied to nearby party members, and the duration is also extended, the same as the [Party] elixir .
This has reduced some of the burden on the time it takes to craft party elixirs. Aal’s tears, which are used to make party elixirs, can be sold to the store at the purchase price.
- When using 95 types of general elixir items, the existing [Party] elixir effect has been reorganized to apply.
- Accordingly, the icon for the general elixir item has been changed to the icon for the existing [Party] elixir item.

Yaz’s Bag (Stacking Items)
Items such as ancient crysal relic shards and scrolls written in ancient language, which are material items for making summon scrolls, have been improved to stack in your inventory. We expect that adventurers who enjoy fishing in one place for a long time or who enjoy adventures in hunting grounds in the Valencia Desert will have more room in their bags.
These items were materials for ‘combination’, which allows you to create items through a specific arrangement in the bag. Now that they are stacked in one space, this method has been improved one more time so that you can easily proceed through a separate combination bag called ‘Yaz’s Combination Bag’.
- The following items have been improved to stack in one slot, such as inventory or warehouse.
| Item name |
|---|
|
Scroll written in ancient language
Forbidden Book
Ancient Relic Crystal Shard
Fragment of the deep sea
Voodoo Doll
|
The item combination bag, ‘Yaz’s Combination Pouch’ has been updated.
This not only allows you to combine multiple summon item materials at once, such as ancient relic crystals that were previously accumulated in one space of your bag, but also allows you to use them more conveniently even when you have many types of items in your bag, such as Atoraxion.
There are no separate conditions for use, and you can check it at the bottom of the bag window, so we hope that many adventurers will be able to use it more conveniently.
- Item Combination Bag, ‘Yaz’s Combination Pouch’ has been added.
- Located at the bottom of the bag (I)
You can open Yaz’s Combination Pouch by pressing the button.
- When Yaz’s Combination Pouch is open, only combination items are highlighted .
- You can right-click on a combination item located in the bag and put the desired number of items into the bag using the keypad.
- In the case of stack-type combination items, you can combine combination items in Yaz’s Combination Pouch, and obtain multiple result items corresponding to the number of materials you have .
- Located at the bottom of the bag (I)
※ Even if you are using the bag organization function by category, you can use Yaz’s combination pouch.
▲ Only combination items are highlighted and displayed.

Quest Item Improvements
Small changes are also coming to the items obtained through main quests. First of all, in the case of items obtained when completing all main quests, it was difficult for beginner adventurers to know how to use them or dispose of them, so they were stored in bags or warehouses. Now, we’ve added a small silver price for these items so they can be sold in stores, and a note has been added that says you can keep them as souvenirs if you want.
Also, there were cases where the various items obtained during the quest process made the bag complicated. Some of these items have been removed or improved so that you can proceed with the quest even if you do not possess the item.
Lastly, in the case of quest items that have a designated use, guidance has been provided so that they can be used as needed.
- The following items that can be obtained by completing the main quest have been changed to be sold to NPC stores.

In addition, blue grade equipment for an improved galley that can cruise the ocean with guild members has been added. As we informed you when this was first introduced at the Black Desert Research Institute, we have prepared a direction for guilds that manufactured blue grade parts for existing galleys to utilize them, and guilds that have not manufactured blue grade parts for improved galleys can also prepare and produce green grade parts for improved galleys. It’s ready for you.
In addition, in the case of [Guild] crafting items using materials that are difficult to obtain among the materials for the galley’s blue grade equipment (lobster, king pearl shell, celadon conch, etc.), you can use the ‘Old Moon Battle/Life Seal’ obtained through usual guild missions. You can exchange it through.
Material items and guild work results

For adventurers who enjoy the Shai class, there was the inconvenience of having to use an ‘Awakening Weapon Exchange Ticket’ or ‘Refined Marni’s Fuel’ every time to transfer to another class.

Class Changes
The purpose of the balance patch applied to the lab last week was to increase the grinding stability of classes with poor defense checks and to solve the phenomenon of dying too easily and dying quickly in large-scale battles. We planned to make this clear first, and then further adjust the balance of 1:1 or small-scale battles. However, while last week’s patch had its merits, we sympathize with the concerns that it clearly had a significant impact on PvP, so we are considering a better solution.
We are currently considering three options.
The first method is to increase survivability by making defense checks tight, like in the last lab balance, and add skills or options that can break through these defense checks.
In this way, it is expected that grinding efficiency will improve and survivability will increase, and survivability in PVP will also improve compared to before. Here, in 1:1 or small-scale battles, it is a way to continue the battle by utilizing skills that can break through newly added defense judgments.
The second method is to reduce the number of super armors and increase the front guard to increase survivability and convenience of grinding, and to increase overall survivability by reducing PVP damage. In addition, classes without grabs, which many adventurers constantly talk about, do not have the means to attack the back, so by removing the back guard, you can provide opportunities to everyone in PVP and increase the efficiency of defense decisions depending on control. .
The third and final part is to maintain last week’s patch and add grabs to all classes. Grabbing is the most powerful of the status ailments, and since there are so many variables due to it, the intention is to make sure to control this part. * For example, in the case of classes that are strong in movement, such as warriors and maehwas, their strength in movement needs to be nerfed if they are given a grab, so we are considering various methods.
We would like to hear the opinions of adventurers as to which of these methods is best. As for the overall progress plan, in the short term, relatively weak classes will be upgraded by referring to indicators such as base wars, occupation wars, and Arena of Solare, not only in Korea but also in all regions, and classes that are too excessive will also be upgraded as needed. We would like to make adjustments. We will continue to seek better patch directions from a long-term perspective. Through the Black Desert Research Institute, we will share more of our thoughts and concerns, as well as class indicators related to PvP that you may be curious about, and strive to increase the number of situations we can empathize with.
Scholar
Since the Scholar update, many people have been giving various opinions. First, there was an upward adjustment to the scope of the technology that received the most opinions. The attack range of <Flow: Golden Thunder>, one of the main skills, has been slightly increased, and the attack range of <Infinite Power> and <Hammerfall> has been improved to apply wider to the front. In addition, Scholar will be adding Rabam (skill enhancement) skills through the Black Desert Research Institute on January 5th.
Core Fusion
- The distance traveled when using the Core Fusion skill has increased.
- Accordingly, stamina has been changed so that it does not recover while using the skill.
- When using Core Fusion, there will be no collision while moving.
- When using Core Fusion, the character has been changed to rotate along with the camera rotation until just before the attack.
Flow: Golden Vines, Flow: Golden Pillar
- When using Flow: Golden Vines, and Flow: Golden Pillar skills that are on cooldown, the critical hit chance has been changed so that they are not applied.
Flow: Repulsion
- It has been improved so that it can be linked to the Flow: Repulsion skill when left clicking after light leap, jump, or accelerated dash skills.
Hammer Spin, Accension: Core Fusion
- While using the Hammer Spin skill, you must press the C key again to activate the Accension: Core Fusion skill.
Black Spirit: Potential Energy
- The activation speed of Black Spirit: Potential Energy has increased.
Gravity Anchor
- The issue where the Gravity Anchor was not installed when using the Gravity Anchor in shallow water has been fixed.
- The attack range of the following skills has been changed to apply wider to the front of the character.
- Infinite Power
- Hammerfall
- When using the Core Fusion skill with a two-handed hammer
- The attack range of the Flow: Golden Thunder skill has been slightly increased to match the actual attack effect.
- The issue where the attack range of the 1st and 2nd hits of the Hammer Spin skill were applied differently from the skill presentation has been fixed.
