Greetings Adventurers,

This week's update brings you a new way to store enhancement chance called Naderr's Band. You can use Naderr's Band through the Enhancement window to exchange your current character's enhancement chance for whatever enhancement chance is already stored on the band. We hope this is a quality change for you.

Also, Hexe Sanctuary will feature a new 160 AP zone. Look for the Traitor's Gravestones and destroy the evil that is hiding in the depths of the Hexe Sanctuary!

Last but not least, we have prepared a special cross-promotion event in the world of Black Desert Online where you can meet the heroine of the new Netflix series Cursed and help her return home.

Read the rest of the details of this week's new contents and changes below. Enjoy!

• The Cursed Hero
  
  • Period: July 29 (after maintenance)–August 26 (before maintenance)
    
  • A mysterious woman named Nimue has arrived in Black Desert and she has a story to tell about a powerful weapon. Fight alongside Nimue against the Red Paladins and assist her in returning to her world.
    
  • Click < Here > to learn more about the event in detail.

• [Promotion] Play for a Free Game Pass: July 22–August 5 (before maintenance)
  
  
• Into the Unknown: July 22–August 5 (before maintenance)
  
  
• [Tournament] Tuvala Invitational - Sign-up Now Open!
  
  • Sign-up Period: July 27 (12:00 UTC)–August 10 (23:59 UTC)
    
    • You can sign-up < Here >
  • Season (PVP) Server Team Kills Event: August 3 (00:01 UTC)–August 9 (23:59 UTC).

• [Web Event] Trail of Summer: July 22–August 5 (before maintenance)

• Season Server Launch Events
  
  • Event 1: Summer Season Playtime Challenge: Available until July 29 (23:59 UTC)

• Patrigio's Shop Renewal

• The sorceresses of Tarif, who have been studying the Black Spirit for a long time, have uncovered an ancient spell. This spell calls Naderr's Band, through which the Black Spirit can exchange enhancement chance.
  
  • You can accept the quest series Naderr's Band from the Black Spirit after reaching Lv. 58, once per family. The quest reward, Naderr's Parchment, can be used to add a slot to Naderr's Band.
    
  • You can use Naderr's Band through the Enhancement window to exchange your current character's enhancement chance for whatever enhancement chance is already stored on the band.
    
  • Naderr's Band not only exchanges the usual enhancement chance but also Valks enhancement chance at the same time.
    
  • Naderr's Band and any enhancement chance stored on it can be accessed by all characters in your family.
    
  • If the enhancement chance stored in one Naderr's Band slot is higher than 100, a 10 minute cooldown will be applied for using any Naderr's Band slot. However, Valks enhancement chance does not count towards the 100.
    
    • E.g. If your enhancement chance is 99, and Valks enhancement chance is 10, there will be no cooldown applied. However, if your enhancement chance is 100 and your Valks enhancement chance 0, a 10 minute cooldown will be applied for using Naderr's Band.

This new monster zone is set in a place with a completely different vibe from Polly's Forest with its hauntingly cute mushrooms.

• Added a monster zone to Hexe Sanctuary with a recommended AP of 160.
  
  • Traitor's Gravestones were hidden in the depths of Hexe Sanctuary but were eventually discovered. Attack them to attract all sorts of "Grudge-Bearing" enemies
    
    • Traitor's Gravestones can be found around Marie Cave within the Hexe Sanctuary.
  • The enemies will try to protect the Traitor's Gravestones, and by destroying the gravestones you will also vanquish the enemies.
    
  • Most enemies will respawn at certain intervals while a new Green Orc Skeleton Warrior will respawn every time one is defeated.

With this change, you will not only be able to differentiate main quests from the other quests when interacting with the Black Spirit but also when interacting with other NPCs. We hope that this will help make questing more streamlined and enjoyable, especially at the beginning of your adventures. For the future, we are planning to make the quest widgets easier to read and more customizable to your play style.

• Added a separate sub-window for main quests to the quest window that appears when you interact with a quest-giving NPC or the Black Spirit.
  
  • This sub-window will contain quests that you can normally check under the Main tab of the Quests (O) window as well as some quests that will help with your character's growth and adventures.
    
  • While you are interacting with a quest-giving NPC or the Black Spirit, you can press Q to check this new main quest sub-window. If you want to check other quests as well while interacting with the NPC or Black Spirit, press A.
    
  • However, if there is no main quest to do via that NPC or the Black Spirit, if you press Q you will be directed to check out other types of quests.
    
  • The Black Spirit quest window for non-main quests will now have the following tabs: All, Suggestions, Recurring, Event.

• Added the new item Crow's Sacred Chest, which you can get at Crow's Nest.
  
  • Complete the quest [Daily][Crow Shop] Holy Trade to get the Crow's Sacred Chest.
    
  • To do the quest [Daily][Crow Shop] Holy Trade, you must first complete [Crow's Nest] Crow's Mercenary.

• You can now use the Return of an Archaeologist function even if you change characters or reconnect to the server within 30 minutes of using Archaeologist's Map.
  
  
• Fixed the explanatory text about resetting Black Spirit's Rage as follows.
  
  • Equipping an Alchemy Stone or gear (excluding outfits) will reset Black Spirit's Rage.

• You can now loot [Season] Ouk Pill of Rift after defeating a Savage Rift boss in the season servers.
  
  
• You can now loot Time-filled Black Stone, Refined Magical Black Stone, and Tuvala Ore at the Shultz Guard monster zone.
  
  
• Changed the quest type of [Season] Stronger Tuvala Gear from recurring to combat.
  
  
• Since the Summer Season end date was changed, the date on the Black Spirit Pass window was adjusted accordingly.
  
  • Read more about the date change < Here >.

• Early graduation of Summer Season will be possible from August 5 (after maintenance) to August 25 (before maintenance).
  
  • Read more about early graduation < Here >.

• Fixed the issue where boats in the swamps of Altinova appeared to float in mid-air.
  
  
• Fixed the issue where Ashen Plague Infected Patients were appearing at Star's End and not the Contaminated Farm during the quest [Star's End] Faded Ashen Plague.
  
  
• Fixed the issue where colliding with the Giant Soldiers near Feinia of the Forest of Seclusion looked awkward.
  
  
• Fixed the issue where the ghosts that should accompany the Mysterious Ghost in Heidel wouldn't appear in certain situations.

A mysterious heroine Nimue has arrived in Black Desert.

Fight alongside Nimue against the Red Paladins and assist her in returning to her world.

Greetings Adventurers!


We want to thank everyone for the amazing love and interest you’ve shown for the season servers of Black Desert. While many Adventurers have been playing the season servers after the start of the Summer Season, we’ve also received a lot of questions about when the upcoming new class “Hand of Aal, Hashashin” will be released and requests to release him quickly.

We’ve always sought ways to not only quickly introduce new classes to our Adventurers, but also help them grow their characters. That’s why we feel our Adventurers will have more fun if they were able to level and grow the new classes on the season servers.

Of course, it will be difficult for us to release a new class at the start of each new season, but if it is possible, we want to go in a direction where we can aid our Adventurers’ growth as much as we can.

For the reasons above, the end date of the Summer Season will be moved ahead of the originally announced date to an earlier date of the August 26th (Wed) maintenance.

We understand that some Adventurers who are currently playing on the season servers may feel pressured to grow their character as a result of the earlier end date. To help these Adventurers out, we are preparing events where you can obtain a variety of necessary items to grow your character during the Summer Season. In addition, if you’re an Adventurer who feels their time in the season servers is sufficient, you’ll be able to graduate early from the summer season after the maintenance on August 5th (Wed).

For more details regarding the early graduation including the benefits and rewards, please check out the early graduation announcement <Here>.

As for the details regarding the schedule, please refer below.


August 5th (Wed) after maintenance

- Start of Early Graduation Period

August 26th (Wed) after maintenance

- End of Summer Season

- End of [Event] Black Spirit Pass Sale, Season Pass, and Black Spirit Pass Challenge

- Start of Pre-Creation for the New Class Hashashin and Season Characters

September 2nd (Wed) after maintenance

- Start of New Season

- New Class Hashashin Update



We hope you’ll continue to have a fulfilling adventure on the season servers. Please stay tuned for the Hand of Aal, Hashashin!

Thank you.

Updated July 29

• Along with the change to the Summer Season schedule, there will also be an event where you can get the item rewards of the daily Season Challenges from August 20 to August 26.

On one pitch-black urban night, a Crow who already had both fortune and fame firmly in his grasps came up with his darkest venture yet.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we proudly present to you: Pit of the Undying.

When we were coming up with this content, many things were going through our minds. Many of you have asked for more suspenseful, tactic-based PvE content. However, we had many stumbling blocks for adding this. This is because many of our classes do not have clearly defined roles, our game is in an action-packed hack and slash playstyle, and this game is an MMORPG with an open world of variables. How could we add this kind of content without going against the direction we have been developing Black Desert Online so far? We also didn't want to distract from the fun of fighting bosses. Pit of the Undying is the result of all these considerations. We expect to add more diverse types of monsters to the pit of the Undying for you to challenge. We hope you enjoy this content and eagerly await your feedback.

• Tranan Underfoe, the blacksmith of Velia, has a strange tale for you of an island somewhere in the Great Ocean. Many brave sailors have searched for Crow's Nest, yet returned in failure. That is if they were lucky enough to return at all. Now, you will have a chance to search for this misty island shrouded in mystery. Chase after that tale and you will get to meet the owner and founder of the Crow Merchants Guild, the "First Crow" and gaze upon a display of some of his most valued treasures in the Hall of Heroes. You will also be able to participate in the Pit of the Undying, a battle arena steeped in secrets.
  
  • Crow's Nest does not appear on the World Map, so you cannot use auto-navigation to guide you there.

• Added the quest series [The Great Expedition] Crow's Nest. It is available once per family, for a character that is at least Lv. 56.
  
  • You can check out the quest series under the Suggested tab of the Quests window, which will direct you to accept the first quest from the Black Spirit.

• Added Crow Merchants Guild members to greet adventurers traveling the Great Ocean in search of Crow's Nest.
  
  
• Added a new category for Crow's Nest related knowledge to the Knowledge (H) window.
  
  
• If you do not have the Crow's Invitation, you will not be able to access the Hall of Heroes deep in Crow's Nest and you will not be able to meet the owner of Crow's Nest, the "First Crow." You can get the invitation by completing certain quests.
  
  
• Opened the Pit of the Undying, the First Crow's secret battle arena.
  
  
  • The Pit of the Undying is a battle arena created by the First Crow for fighters to face off against his carefully selected Crow's Warriors in seemingly endless rounds of battles for glory.
    
    • If you die in the Pit of the Undying during the main Crow's Nest quests, do not forfeit the quest but interact with Chorpy if you want a rematch.
  • As you succeed in the Pit of the Undying, you can collect Seal of the Undying items and get Undying Crow's Insignia of a higher grade.
    
  • You will get your first Undying Crow's Insignia after completing the quest series [The Great Expedition] Crow's Nest.
    
  • As you get higher grade Undying Crow's Insignia, the more Seal of the Undying items you will get from the Pit of the Undying.
    
    • Seal of the Undying is the key to the First Crow's exclusive Crow Shop, which is only available at Crow's Nest.
      
    • This exclusive Crow Shop will be available after a later update.

__________________________________________________________________

• To encourage Agris Fever point use at low-level monster zones, we have increased the amount of points in circulation by fivefold (e.g. instead of getting 3,000 points daily, you'll get 15,000).
  
  • Therefore, the amount of Agris Fever points consumed at different monster zones have changed as well.
    
    • You will need relatively fewer points at low-level monster zones but will need the same relative amount of points as before at other monster zones.
  • You can see the Agris Fever points you need for monsters of each Monster Zone in the BDO Wiki entry for Agris Fever < Here >.

• Agris Fever now activates after you reach Lv. 56.
  
  • Once you reach Lv. 56, Agris Fever will automatically activate even if you have not completed the adventure log "Book of Margahan." At this point, you will recover 15,000 Agris Fever points a day but you can only hold a maximum of 50,000 points at a time.
    
  • If you have completed "Book of Margahan" you will have the benefit of being able to recover 20,000 points a day and hold a maximum of 100,000 points at a time.

• Changed the rewards for completing the adventure log "Book of Margahan" as below.
  
  
  
  
• Saving Skill Preset will now also save cooldown slot and quick slot information.
  
  
• Reset the number of total likes for all chat groups.
  
  • If you own either a gold, silver, or bronze tier Black Spirit icon you will receive a temporary title for 90 days for your diligent participation.
    
  • "Hall of Adventurers" in the chart below refers to any one of the 19 chat groups with that name.
    
  • Check the full announcement on our official forums < Here >.
    

*You will get only one gold tier title even if you have a gold tier Black Spirit icon in more than one Hall of Adventurers chat group, since there is only one gold tier title for that category of chat group. Of course, if you have a combination of gold, silver, or bronze tier Black Spirit icons in the Hall of Adventurers chat groups, you will get multiple titles.

• Added an alert that appears 15 minutes before the Thousand Years War begins and extended the war by 10 minutes.
  
  
• You can no longer use the Greet function in Papuraora and Crioniak.

• Added season character exclusive regional quests to certain monster zones in Valencia, Kamasylvia, and Drieghan. There will be two quests per monster zone.
  
  • These quests will be automatically accepted when you enter the monster zone if you have met the quest acceptance requirements. There will be a tally of the relevant monsters you have defeated on the right side of the screen and once you have defeated enough you will be rewarded with useful items.
    
  • There will be a level requirement based on the difficulty of each monster zone. The reward you will get will also vary depending on the difficulty of the monster zone.
    
    
    
  • Changed the name of "Season Challenges" to "Season Pass."
    
    
  • Fixed the issue where the button for completing the quest "[Enhancement] Even Finer Tuvala Vambrace I" did not appear when interacting with Fughar the Crow Merchants Guild Chief Manager if a TET level Vambrace was equipped or in your inventory.
