Altar of Blood

Altar of Blood was added.

Developer's Comment
As announced at the Heidel Ball, Altar of Blood is a 3 player party defense mode.
After its introduction at the Global Lab, many adventurers gave various feedback on the Altar of Blood. Many found the use of their own characters and skills to be positive, which allowed for a variety of co-op strategies.
There were also feedback on the difficulty of the mode, questions on what will happen to the Altar of Training, and many others. We will continue to better the mode based on the precious feedback you send our way.
We plan to add a more variety of PVE content, like the Altar of Blood. Currently, one of the only places where you can make use of a fully geared character is out in the field fighting monsters. We aim to add more places for you to feel the satisfaction of making use of your hard earned gear.

According to records, the Altar of Blood is where sacrificial rituals to Kzarka were performed in ancient times, but was never seen again after it was sealed with the Gem of Balance.
However, Yaz and Orwen of the Secret Guards discovered the last traces of Caphras, the immortal alchemist, in the rubble of a house in Star's End, which in turn led to the uncovering of the secret altar that was hidden within the ash fog of the Blackstar.
You can enter the Altar of Blood after completing the "[Lv. 56] The Altar of Blood at Star's End" quest line from the Black Spirit with a character at or above level 56.
- (You can find the quest in the suggested quests from the Black Spirit after activating the Combat quest filter)

The Altar of Blood is a 3 player party mode where you need to coordinate with each other to defend the relic from monsters charging in from all directions.
You can also enter the Altar of Blood through matchmaking, which will match you with other random players on the same server.
- In order to join the Altar of Blood without forming a party beforehand, simply click on the button in the ESC menu or pop-up banner to enter the Altar of Blood and you will be randomly matched into a party with 2 other adventurers.
- Please note there may be some waiting time for you to be matched into a party.

Altar of Blood Rules

The party leader can press the Enter button in the ESC menu to enter the Altar of Blood.
Party leader may be changed depending on the order of entrance (you can appoint party leader to anyone after entering the altar).
After entry, the party leader can choose which stage to start with.
You cannot exit the party in the Altar of Blood. (If you are forced to leave the party due to disconnection, you will exit the Altar of Blood).
When the party leader chooses the stage, 100 Energy is consumed and an NPC will appear.
Talk to the NPC in the middle to activate the blood relic, which will consume 20 additional Energy.
Upon activation, monsters will appear and attack the relic and your party must defend it.
Note that you will take massive damage when you venture too close to the Black Portals.
You can resurrect only via the resurrection skill of Witch/Wizard or the Medical Kit if you die in the Altar of Blood.
All character HP will recover and all dead characters will be resurrected when the boss is defeated.
Once the boss appears, the relic can no longer be damaged.
Defeating a boss will grant you the knowledge of the cleared illusion, which you need to progress to the next one.
When all three players die, the illusion stage is considered a failure and reset with all monsters gone and players are resurrected with full HP. Here, the party leader will see the menu to choose the stage.
You cannot use the Campsite, Maid/Butler, World Map, Quest UI, nor the Minimap UI in the Altar of Blood.
You cannot gain any Combat EXP nor Skill EXP by defeating monsters in the Altar of Blood.
Item Drop Amount/Rate Increase effects are not applied in the Altar of Blood.
With this week's release, you can progress up to the 10th illusion. Once you clear the 10th illusion, you will automatically exit the Altar of Blood. More stages will be added with future updates.

Altar of Blood Rewards

You can acquire the corresponding Heritage of the Forgotten by defeating the bosses of each of the illusions.
You have a very low chance to acquire the following defense gear boxes by using the Heritage of the Forgotten.

The type of item you receive depends on the grade of the defense gear box.
You can obtain better items the higher the stage you clear.
New Altar of Blood exclusive items were added.
- Flare of the Ancients, Dim Origin of Clear Water, Dim Origin of the Crimson Flame, and Dim Origin of Earth.

Flare of the Ancients is effective only in the Altar of Blood.
All monsters within range will be stunned when the Flare of the Ancients is used.
Certain monsters or boss monsters of each stage are immune to Stun effect.

Added the Altar of Blood rankings page.
Added the Altar of Blood rankings menu.
- Old Menu: Bottom of the ESC menu
- New Menu: Community tab of the ESC Menu

10 new Altar of Blood challenges were added.
Altar of Blood challenges can be completed once per family.
Following rewards will be available from the Challenge menu when you reconnect with your character after you defeat and obtain knowledge about boss monsters from the Altar of Blood.
If you failed an illusion at the Altar of Blood, you can retry.
A window will pop up with the option to retry the illusion after failing.
The retry window cannot be opened once you cancel the retry option.
You need a "Nightmare Fragment" to retry.
Retry can only be done by the party leader.
Added "Nightmare Fragment", which you can use to retry a failed illusion.
If you fail to clear an illusion of the Altar of Blood while holding "Nightmare Fragments", you can consume them to restart at the illusion stage you were on.

Developer’s Comment
When we announced that we would add the function to interact with NPCs while on mounts, many adventurers welcomed the idea.
However, after implementing the function, we received numerous feedback that it is difficult to maneuver mounts when the get on/off mount and the interact key are the same.
To resolve this issue and maintain the intention of the patch, we decided to add a command for getting off the mount.

Developer’s Comment
This week's Kunoichi update is based on the feedback you gave us, improving skill combos to increase efficiency in both PvE and PvP situations. Of course, we could've just increased the damage of each skill, but we decided it would be better in the long run to help players better their playability instead. We will continue to monitor collected data to adjust the stats and hope that this will be meaningful to Kunoichi players.
And of course, we will continue to adjust the balance of other characters as well.
Thank you.

Developer’s Comment
So far, the buff list was just divided into buffs and debuffs, which was difficult to read when there were too many. Many of you requested this improved and we promised we would do so at the Heidel Ball.
Now the buff list is divided into three parts; buffs given by items, buffs cast by characters, and debuffs. Also, buffs that can be combined into a group, such as Cron Meals, will be displayed as a single icon. For instance, Warrior's Executioner previously created 7 icons, but will now be displayed as a single Executioner icon.

Known Issues

We are aware of the issue that Shai cannot receive one of the Black Spirit's Gift (Inventory Slot and Black Stones) quests when selecting A ([Crossroad] The Lamenting Head of the League of Merchants) and C ([Crossroad] Each of Their Reasons) for the main crossroad quest. This will be fixed in next week’s patch.
We are aware of the issue where Guild Elephants cannot be called while having a Trainer's Flute activated. We will have this fixed with an upcoming patch.

Updated 7/12

We are aware of the issue where the name, effect, and description of the following items are displayed incorrectly.

Added EXP rewards to certain quests to help the growth of your characters.
To help the growth of your characters, general quests (excluding main, life, fishing, adventure, trade, and repeat quests) now have Combat Grade EXP rewards.
- With Combat Grade EXP, you can receive different amounts of EXP depending on the level of your character.
- The amount of EXP received is not a set number, but a percentage of your current required EXP.
- For example, if you complete a quest with a Combat Grade EXP reward, a level 58 character will receive 0.5% EXP, while a level 60 character will receive 0.02% EXP.
  ※ The example shown is not the actual ratio used in game and is used to help you understand its concept.
- Also, the "Combat EXP Gain +30%" effect of "Chenga - Sherekhan Tome of Wisdom" is also applied to the Combat Grade EXP reward.
  ("Chenga - Sherekhan Tome of Wisdom" can be acquired by completing the suggested quest "[Lv.53] The Adventurer's Tome regarding the legend of Chenga".
- Quests with Combat Grade EXP rewards are indicated with the orange Combat EXP icon in the quest rewards list.

Developer’s Comment
All quests of Black Desert give Contribution Points as rewards and they were used as a resource to live in this world. However, they are not used as they were first intended to be anymore.
We've also noted that many adventurers enjoy completing quests after the addition of Rulupee's Travel Log. To help these players, completion of quests now increase amity with the NPCs of the quests and reward more Combat EXP.
It is not a big change, but we hope this brings more meaning to those who enjoy quests.

Amity rewards were added to some quests.
- Completing quests will make it easier for you to become better acquainted with NPCs.
- Amity rewards vary depending on the characteristics of the NPC and quest given.
- This does not include recurring and life advancement quests.

Fixed the issue where the My Information (P) menu would display the character with no titles even when one is applied.
Fixed the issue where you could interact with NPCs and the Black Spirit while moving the character selection window.

New UI (horse or anchor icon) was added to the Select Character (Character Selection) screen and End Game menu showing the mounts being used by each of your characters.
- No Guild mounts will be displayed.

When giving feed to your pet by pressing Give Feed button, the first one in the list of feed you have will now be selected (from Select Feed window) as default. This will be the same for when selecting Feed All option.

Content

A new character Shai was added.

Developer’s Comment
The Shai have been a beloved part of the world of Black Desert, and now, you can play as a Shai yourself. The Shai is not a combat based character so she offers new ways for you to play. Please go ahead and begin a new adventure with your very own Shai!

Shai are from Florin, so they already know very well the Alchemy and Gathering skills of Florin. Shai were set so that they don't have to go through the Alchemy and Gathering quests of Florin.

※ Shai's Gathering and Alchemy level will not fall below Professional 1 even when you use EXP transfer coupons, as they only transfer EXP you've collected.

Since Shai is from Florin, she will experience more friendly dialogue with Florin villagers compared to existing characters. She also has slightly different quest lines in Florin.
Shai exclusive Bonfire Tool was added.
- Bonfire Tool can be crafted with Simple Alchemy by using 5 of any kind of timber, such as logs, 5 Rough Stones, and 5 Powder of Flame.
- Using the Bonfire Tool will create a Bonfire.
- Bonfires last 10 minutes. They heal nearby allies for 50 HP per 10 seconds and cure hypothermia.
- Bonfire Tools have a cooldown of 30 minutes.

Shai has been with donkeys since she was young. She knows well how to handle them, and is even able to gallop on them.
- Shai still prefers her donkey and is not yet ready to mount horses. However, her inquisitive nature will surely solve that once she gets interested in horses.

Damage dealt by Shai during PvP is greatly reduced.
Added a special Shai icon.
Shai will now be displayed in the first slot during character creation.
Shai's shoulders are too small for small cats or birds to rest on them.

※ Please note that Shai and all new characters can only acquire Costumes from Costume Boxes once all their costumes are released. One costume box available with Shai launch for example is the [Event] Splat Fisher’s Clothes Set (7 Days) as Splat Fisher’s Clothes Set is currently available for Shai.

3 new donkeys were added to celebrate the release of Shai.

Developer’s Comment
Donkeys have been a part of the world of Black Desert since the beginning, but they never received the attention they deserve. With the release of Shai, we would like to give the donkeys a well deserved fresh new start as well. Although they cannot completely replace horses, we plan to start off with them being companions of Shai and add more donkey specific functions as time goes by. Not being noticed by monsters and having a sort of roaming mode would be good examples.

The new donkeys are Derome, Cherose, and Vallet, and they can acquire special skills from leveling.
These new skills can only be used by Shai.
The new donkeys can acquire 4 skills as stated below.

※ The skill Just Chillin' is already learned on level 1. The other 3 skills have a high chance to be learned as they grow.

※ You can travel the world of Black Desert more easily once you grow your donkey to acquire all skills and have their items equipped.

Skill change, skill removal, and skill training is now available for donkeys.
The following items were changed to be usable on donkeys.
- Mount Skill Change Coupon
- Mount Skill Removal Coupon
- Mount Skill Training Coupon
- Mount All Skill Training Coupon

All donkeys were changed to unnoticed by monsters when on standby.
- Donkeys will still take damage if they are within range of an enemy attack, regardless of the monster’s target.

New donkey gears were added.
You can now dye donkey gear.
New earring "Black Distortion Earring" was added.
You have a chance to acquire the "Black Distortion Earring" from the following monsters of Star's End.
- Apostle of Corruption
- Harbinger of Corruption
- Apostle of Defilement
- Harbinger of Defilement
- Apostle of Immorality
- Harbinger of Immorality
- Apostle of Malevolence

Developer’s Comment
Initially, this earring was planned to be added with the release of Star's End, but we needed more time to test it because it is different from existing items.
The Black Distortion Earring has high AP, but will drop your DP. With this, we plan to give more choices in items to adventurers, depending on their playstyles.

- Monsters were added or relocated.

Developer’s Comment
Those of you who've experienced the Aakman Temple will understand the direction of the patch. This zone has many different sized rooms, with each having different popularity depending on the efficiency in monster arrangement and population.
Also, you will now be able to continue fighting in one room, similar to when the monster zone event was on, instead of jumping from one room to another. We are also working on other zones to better them, while keeping their characteristics.

Developer's Comment
We are working on revamping monster zones to resolve the need for more zones to play in. However, since a revamp cannot be done in a short amount of time, we've decided to increase the monster respawn rate of some of the zones. Our initial plan was to have weekly events with different zones affected each week, but decided to include last week's zones to this week's event so that more adventurers can experience it. We promise we'll do our best to revamp the monster zones.

System

The Transport system has been revamped.

Developer's Comment
The existing transport system had wagons (ships) traveling around the world and adventurers had to place their goods on these wagons (ships) under reservation to a desired destination. Thus, you had to wait for these to arrive to where you are, even when you've made a transport reservation. However, we were also aware that transportation system had a few intermittent issues where transport didn't start and items did not arrive correctly.
This system has now been improved so that you can have the transport with your goods depart whenever you want them to.

The transport system where goods could begin transporting only when the wagons arrive has been changed as below.
- Up to 5 transport methods are available per family, which could be used to transport goods at anytime you want.
- A transport method cannot be used again until its goods have been collected.
- Transport will begin 5 minutes after you press the transport button in the Transport UI.
- You can add or remove items before the transport begins. Once the process begins, you cannot add goods or cancel.
Same items can now be placed in the same slot and the weight limit has been increased.

Before

After

Number of Slots

100 slots

20 slots per transport method

Weight

50LT per slot, total 5000LT

1500LT per transport method

Stacks

Divided to another slot when
exceeding the slot weight limit

Same items are
stacked in one slot

Trade Goods cannot be transported anymore with this function.
There are total 5 transport wagons; you can send up to 100 slots of items or 7500 LT of weight all at once if you send all 5 transport wagons.

Transport cost calculation has been changed.

Before

After

Cost calculated by item slots
even if the item weight is 0.1LT,
if it takes up a slot,
you are charged for the entirety of the slot.

Cost calculated by weight

Ex) Previously, transporting cost for 1 Black Stone would've been for 50LT of the slot, but after the patch, the cost will be for the weight of 1 Black Stone, which is 0.35LT.
More towns are now available for transport.
- All towns except for Port Ratt, Arehaza Town, and Muiquun Town are now available for transport.
- All transports before the patch have been moved to Heidel with their status changed to complete.
You can now interact with NPCs while riding a donkey, horse, camel, miniature elephant, or heilang.
- Interactions are only available during mount standby and walking. Interaction is not available during Horseback Combat.
- Interaction (R) that require change of motion such as greeting is not possible while mounted.

Developer’s Comment
Tamers can also make interactions while on their Heilangs.
Keep in mind that you still need to be off a mount to do interactions that require change of motion, such as greeting or stealing.

Temporary save function has been added to Customization (F4).
- You can now continue your previous customization even when the game shuts down during customization.
Optimized certain effects to decrease file size.
Fixed the issue where some Pearl Boxes could not be used right away in the Pearl Shop after purchase.
Fixed the storage silver to be updated according to the Central Market's current prices.
Fixed the issue where the client would sometimes shut down when there is an underscore (_) in the customization file name.

Game World

Fixed the issue where characters were unable to get out of certain areas of the Mirumok Ruins.
Fixed the issue where characters were unable to move in certain areas of the Mirumok Ruins.
Fixed the issue where characters fell through the roof of some buildings in Calpheon City.
Fixed the water graphic of the Gervish Mountains valley of Duvencrune.
Fixed the abnormal character movement in front of Marni's 2nd Lab Node Manager.
Fixed the issue where certain parts of the streets of Velia did not look natural.
Fixed the graphical issue of some of the bushes in the Western Valtarra Mountains.

NPC

Fixed <Miscellaneous Merchant> Bert of Hystria to reappear after a certain amount of time when he disappears.
Fixed the issue where the appearance of Crow NPCs in Tarif would not be normal.
Fixed the issue where you are still on the tamed wild horse after registering and checking it in with a Stable NPC.
Added an option to trade 350 Dragon Scale Fossils for an Advice of Valks (+40) with Valks.

Developer’s Comment
This was a part of the Heidel Ball announcement and is included in today's patch.
We hope that this patch would give another method to acquire stacks and with it liven up the Sherekhan Necropolis area more than before.
Although the number of Dragon Scale Fossils required is high, we've also adjusted the drop rates last week so that obtaining them is 6 times easier than before.

Fixed the camera perspective issue after logging out during Observation Mode on a mount.
A message has been added for mounting a Sky Balloon.
- “Use the interact function to board the Sky Balloon.”
Animation has been added to the Sky Balloon while in flight.
Fixed the issue where other players' Sky Balloons could not be seen upon login.
Trading will now be possible while mounted on a horse.
- This change does not affect the weight limit to ride a mount.
- This change applies to all trading items.
