Mounts

Fixed the issue where the checkbox for using BreezySail continuously while sailing would disappear.

Class Changes

"I miss seeing the dependable Warrior with his Longsword and Shield, as well as Ranger's skillful arrows embroider the skies with green." This simple thought gave birth to "Succession."

We wanted to make combat only with Main Weapons feel as complete, cohesive, and fun as that with Awakening Weapons. We realized that to do that, we would need to make large changes to make Main Weapon combat comparable to Awakening Weapon combat. Thus, we prepared the Succession content with three key things in mind.

Firstly, we wanted Main Weapon skills to be a match for Awakening Weapon skills in combat. We especially tried to bring up Main Weapon performance to be on par with that of Awakening Weapons in PvE. We felt it was important that choosing Succession would not disadvantage you in character growth or PvE.

Secondly, we wanted to bring Main Weapon combat to the next level by revamping certain skills. Which skills we chose to depended per class. However, our goal was always to bring out the unique characteristics of each class.

Thirdly, we wanted Main Weapon skills to be simpler to use. Because there are many different skills for Main Weapons, they can be difficult to master. That is why we decided to have a similar number of new skills to the number of Awakening skills, which should be enough for there still to be some variety.

We hope that you have fun and feel powerful using these new and strategically upgraded Main Weapon skills. You can even supplement them with certain Absolute skills, just as you could with Awakening Weapon skills.

Apart for developing this new "Succession" content, we will also continue to improve upon existing content and balance classes. Therefore, we hope that you choose between Succession and Awakening not because you think one is stronger than the other, but because you enjoy one type of combat over the other. There should no wrong choice between Succession and Awakening.

Patch Notes - November 27th 2019

Black Desert - CM Servantes

Greetings Adventurers,

It's been a few weeks since we launched the Great Expedition expansion into the world of Black Desert Online, and since then many of you have enjoyed bartering in the Great Ocean. Therefore we are happy to announce that bartering will now be considered a life skill and will grant special bonuses when leveled up!

Also after this update, you will be able to control Ogres and Trolls during Conquest Wars, so take advantage of their chaotic powers and achieve victory with them!

Finally, there are rumors spreading about a Mysterious Knight appearing in monster zones and offering 100% Skill EXP boost for a limited time. Shall we check if the rumors are true?

Enjoy the update and good luck!

Content

We have developed the parley system with the feedback from Global Lab in mind, adjusting the number of parley points needed and connecting this system with the new life skill, Bartering.

In general we aimed to adjust the difficulty and profits for bartering to get more barters happening in the beginning stages of bartering, so you can ultimately make more profit for less time. We did have to lower the ratio of level 4 sea trade goods that could be exchanged for with level 3 sea trade goods from three to two, due to the high profit (up to 30 million Silver per barter). You can also now do up to six barters for level 1 sea trade goods so hopefully you will not exhaust your sea trade good supply as fast as before this update.

We have also added more ways to get materials to upgrade a ship to an Epheria Carrack. Hopefully with this change, getting these materials will feel less like a chore. For those of you who already have an Epheria Carrack and gear for it, we would like you to know that we are planning on developing blue grade gear for Epheria Carracks.

Added the Bartering life skill.
- You can get Bartering EXP by bartering items.
- The amount of EXP gained will depend on the item being bartered at each island.
- Because bartering is a life skill, it is affected by life skill buffs from items such as Extra Life EXP Scroll items.
- You can check your bartering level in the My Information window.
- You can check your bartering ranking on the Rankings window.
- Bartering EXP based on the amount of bartering you have done so far has been sent to your in-game mailbox.

Introduced the Parley system to Bartering.
- Every time you barter, you will need to parley.
- The number of parley points required to barter at each node differs, and even if barter is still available at a node you cannot barter without the required parley points.
- Between each barter information refresh, you will have 1,000,000 parley points to spend.
- As your bartering level increases, you will need fewer parley points.
  - For example, a Bartering Beginner 1 may need 14,286 parley points to barter at a particular node but may need only 13,074 parley points at the same node when an Apprentice 1.
- There will be mouseover tooltips in the Bartering Information window with information about how your Bartering level (and Value Pack effect, if applicable) affects the number of parley points needed.

Added the item Crow's Trade Voucher.
- This item recovers 250,000 of your parley points and has a cooldown of four hours.
  - Please note that the maximum number of parley points you can have a time is 1,000,000.
- Use Manufacture in the Processing menu on Item Collection Increase Scroll (60 min) x1 to get Crow's Trade Voucher x1.
  - You cannot manufacture [Event] Item Collection Increase Scroll (60 min) to get a Crow's Trade Voucher.

You can now refresh barter information manually, instead of having for it to be automatically refreshed every four hours.
- You can refresh barter information up to three times a day, with a cooldown of four hours.
- The number of times you can refresh barter information will be reset every day at 06:00 UTC.
- If you do not refresh the barter information it will stay the same and will not be automatically refreshed.

Lowered the accumulated number of exchanges needed to barter for the following ship upgrade items for upgrading a ship to an Epheria Carrack, and increased the frequency of the barter exchange appearing.
- Brilliant Rock Salt Ingot

Changed the items being bartered per type of barter as follows.

Reduced the accumulated number of exchanges needed to barter via the following floating objects in Margoria: Shipwrecked Cargo Ship; Cholace Chico's Pirate Union; Wandering Merchant Ship.

- You can now barter for ship upgrade materials and level 5 sea trade goods via the Wandering Merchant Ship.

Changed the Explore function for sailing as follows.
- It is now possible for sailors to find Seaweed or Bottle of Sea Water while exploring.
- Increased the chance sailors will repair your ship.
- Increased the chance sailors will find rations.
- Increased the chance the condition of sailors will decrease.

Decreased the rate special barter becomes available.
Added effects to Value Pack items that lets you do the following.
- Refresh barter information up to four times a day, instead of the usual three.
- Use 10% less parley points per barter.
- Remotely check or skip Special Barter via the Barter Information window (including the one in the World Map) instead of going to the bartering location yourself.
  - However, you still need to load the items for barter onto your ship and go to the bartering location yourself.

Changed the option to see Monster Zones Info in the World Map to "Detailed Surroundings."
- You can now see the location of the floating objects (e.g. Shipwrecked Cargo Ship) in Margoria on the World Map, if you have knowledge of all 12 of them and you have selected the option for Detailed Surroundings on the World Map.

Added three new types of social actions: hold beer; hold broom; read book.

- Any summoned ogres or trolls will disappear when the Conquest War ends.
- When an ogre or troll is summoned, a button that you can use to call it will appear for everyone in your guild in the upper left-hand side of the screen.
- The location of the ogre or troll will appear on the world map for everyone in your guild.
- When you possess an ogre or troll, you will see the key guide for controlling it on the bottom right-hand side of the screen.

System

The option to hide certain NPCs for better game performance is now available.
- Go to Settings > Performance > Workers & Pets > NPC Settings to use this option. Toggle this option on to hide non-essential NPCs (i.e. NPCs you can interact with but do not have a shop, give quests, etc.)
- Toggling this option on and off will only be applied after you reconnect to the game, or go to the Character Selection window and come back.

You can now choose between two different types of paths while navigating at sea. You can choose between the two by accessing the Ocean Navigation Setting window via a button on the bottom of the World Map.
- Short Route
  - This is the shorter route to your destination by distance. However, since the road might include some twists and turns your actual journey time might be longer than expected.
- Quick Route
  - This route might be longer, but it may just be the quicker route, since there will be minimal twists and turns and you should be able to maintain your ship's speed better.

Mounts

Text saying that enhancement level will drop when you fail at enhancing Epheria Caravel or Epheria Galleass gear will no longer appear.
You can now use the skill BreezySail continuously on ships that can use that skill.
- Mount your ship's wheel and check the option that appears to toggle this option on. Then, press W to start moving while using the skill BreezySail continuously.

Doom can now only use the skill Dark Sprint during S: Charge if it knows S: Instant Accel.
Added skill command information in the Mount Information window about using Doom's skill Dark Sprint (F during S: Charge).
Fixed the issue where using the horse skill Fore Chop made a camel icon appear.
Added text about the different damage cannons for Epheria Sailboat and Epheria Frigate will inflict if they are equipped on the improved or upgraded versions of these ships.
- You can inflict extra damage on 2 targets when equipped on Improved Epheria Sailboat or Caravel.
- You can inflict extra damage on 4 targets when it is equipped on Improved Epheria Frigate or Galleass.

Added a feature to large ships (i.e. Epheria Sailboat, Improved Epheria Sailboat, Epheria Frigate, Improved Epheria Frigate, Galley, Epheria Caravel, Epheria Galleass, Epheria Carrack) so that if they get stuck in an auto-path and their durability is above 50%, they will automatically stop moving.
- The ship will stop in this scenario even during the skill PowerAccel. or BreezySail.

It's sad when you have set your ship on an auto-path and come back to see that your ship is stuck somewhere, but still trying to move and depleting its rations supply. Therefore, we decided to add the feature of ships stopping when they get stuck in an auto-path.

Decreased the intensity of the camera effects for the skill BreezySail on large ships (i.e. Epheria Sailboat, Improved Epheria Sailboat, Epheria Frigate, Improved Epheria Frigate, Galley, Epheria Caravel, Epheria Galleass, Epheria Carrack).

Content

Reworked the design of the following UI.
- Notepad
- Cow milking minigame
- Fairy Information

In the game, milk is almost like liquid gold to cooking enthusiasts.

We wanted to keep the value of milk high, so compared with some other ingredients we were slower in making this item more readily available. However, after the Imperial Crafting Delivery update on November 6, the demand for milk has gotten even higher.

In response, we decided to increase the amount of milk you can get from playing the cow milking minigame. Depending on future data analyses, we may make further changes on ways to get milk.

The cow milking minigame is now considered as gathering. Therefore, you can now get Gathering EXP from milking cows.
Changed the amount of Energy consumed and Milk obtained for the cow milking minigame.
- Energy consumption
  - When successful: 5 → 10
  - When failed: 2 → 4
- Milk obtained
  - Before
    - Regardless of Gathering level: 5–10
- Now
  - Gathering Beginner 1–Skilled 10: 15–35
  - Gathering Professional 1–Artisan 10: 25–45
  - Gathering Master 1–Guru 50: 35–55

[/list]

Fixed the issue where the character's motions looked unnatural after failing the cow milking minigame.
Added the maximum War Hero participant capacity information to the Node War information. (You can see it by bringing the mouse cursor over a Node in the World Map.)
Changed the maximum War Hero participation capacity for some of the Node War regions as follows.
- Tier 3 Serendia Shrine Node (Maximum capacity: 30 participants) War Hero capacity 5 → 3
- Tier 3 Hexe Sanctuary Node (Maximum capacity: 30 participants) War Hero capacity 5 → 3
- Tier 3 Pilgrim's Haven Node (Maximum capacity: 30 participants) War Hero capacity 5 → 3
- Tier 3 Northwestern Gateway Node (Maximum capacity: 40 participants) War Hero capacity 5 → 4
- Tier 3 Olvia Coast Node (Maximum capacity: 40 participants) War Hero capacity 5 → 4
- Tier 3 Longleaf Tree Sentry Post (Maximum capacity: 40 participants) War Hero capacity 5 → 4
- Tier 3 Phoniel's Cabin Node (Maximum capacity: 40 participants) War Hero capacity 5 → 4
- Tier 3 Ancado Coast Node (Maximum capacity: 40 participants) War Hero capacity 5 → 4
- Tier 4 Glish Ruins Node (Maximum capacity: 30 participants) War Hero capacity 10 → 3
- Tier 4 Abandoned Iron Mine Node (Maximum capacity: 30 participants) War Hero capacity 10 → 3
- Tier 4 Witch's Chapel Node (Maximum capacity: 30 participants) War Hero capacity 10 → 3

There is no longer a cooldown for selling to Imperial Fishing Delivery or Imperial Crafting Delivery managers after connecting to the game.

System

Adjusted the chance to obtain Ancient Relic Crystal Shard for weekend fever times.

Game World

Removed unnatural structures near the broken wagon at Highland Junction.
Adjusted the location where the Iliya Freight Ship arrives at the port in Velia.
Fixed the graphical issues in certain areas of Riyed Island.

NPC

Added NPC dialogue for Emma Bartali which guides you to the NPC you need to talk to first, in cases where you did not yet meet the prior knowledge requirements before talking to Emma Bartali.
Your dialogue with certain NPCs will now change to reflect your amity with them.

Mounts

Added a skill lock feature for mounts (excluding guild mounts).
- Mounts with the lock feature applied will maintain the lock feature when they are kept at the Stable/Wharf, or even when killed.
  - Courser's Spirit and Two-seater skill cannot use the lock feature.

We received feedback that the skill training minigame activating even during inconvenient moments was a nuisance. Therefore, we decided to add this feature so you can have more choice about when to use your mount's skills.

Improved the camera perspective and convenience of getting off from large ships.
- When moving while on board the Epheria Carrack, the camera perspective will move further away from the ship and increase the field of view as you sail.
- Improved the camera perspective and effects when using sailing skills (PowerAccel., BreezySail, Ram) for the Epheria Cog and large ships (Bartali Sailboat, Epheria Sailboat, Epheria Frigate, Improved Epheria Frigate, [Guild] Galley, Epheria Carrack).
- You can press the R key while moving or using sailing skills on the above ships to quickly stop, allowing you to get off the ships more easily.
- Changed the Quick-Retreat sailing skill control to "Shift + S". If you press the S key while the ship has stopped, you will slowly move back. If you press Shift + S, you will use Quick-Retreat, which allows you to move back more quickly.

Revised the description for Arduanatt's skill Wings of Wind to match the actual conditions for using the skill.
Fixed the issue where the character's stamina would momentarily be abnormal when using the escape feature while on board a ship or Forest Path Wagon.
Fixed the issue where the cannon on the first row from the right side of Zafina Cannons and Serena Cannons would move simultaneously with their handles.
Fixed the issue where the horses' movement would occasionally stop when moving on board the Forest Path Wagon.

Item Changes

Added usage information to the descriptions of equipment that can be equipped on a Epheria Caravel or Epheria Galleass.
Added text on the item description of Verdant Black Stone which explains how to obtain it.
Fixed the issue where text about the increasing Hunting EXP was not being displayed on the item description of Manos Hunter's Clothes.
Added descriptions about the Improved Epheria Sailboat and Improved Epheria Frigate on Benelois ship items which can be equipped onto those ships.
Equipping the Helm Destroyer’s Belt and the Necklace of the Sealed Spell/Magical Power will now give you a set effect.
Changed the items NPC Haz sells.
- Added Arsha Outfit and Arsha Helmet for trial characters.
- These items can be bought from NPC Haz by buying Arsha’s Chest.
- Because of the addition of Arsha's Outfit Box and Arsha's Outfit Box (Helmet), the item description of Arsha’s Chest has been changed.
- Open the Arsha's Outfit Box or Arsha's Outfit Box (Helmet) to get items suitable for your class.
- The outfits are trial character exclusive.
- Arsha Helmet is unavailable for Shai.
- Certain gear pieces that older trial characters had equipped or in their inventory have been removed. To get new gear, speak with the NPC Haz.

You can now use Imperial Cuisine to pack the following items into a Master's Cooking Box.
- King of Jungle Hamburg x15
- Meat Sandwich x15
- Ham Sandwich x15

You can no longer use Imperial Cuisine to pack the following items into a Master's Cooking Box.
- Special Arehaza Meal x18
- Balenos Meal x15

You can now use Imperial Cuisine to pack the following items into a Guru's Cooking Box.
- Special Arehaza Meal x27
- Balenos Meal x24

You can no longer use Imperial Cuisine to pack the following items into a Guru's Cooking Box.
- King of Jungle Hamburg x24
- Meat Sandwich x18
- Ham Sandwich x18

Some of the ingredients for Imperial Crafting Delivery, especially those for Cooking Box, have been adjusted.

The general goal is to adjust Crafting Difficulty according to the Box Grade. For Cooking, the collection of ingredients is directly linked to production output. Therefore, the less the ingredients you need to get in person are, the higher the efficiency will be. Previously, collecting ingredients for some of the food included in a low grade box was too difficult, while collecting ingredients for those included in a high grade box was easy.

Since the required quantity of the ingredients has also been adjusted, there won't be any significant change in your profit. However, those foods that are more easy to produce will now be included in low grade boxes and those that are more difficult to produce in high grade boxes.

Monster Changes

- Combined Magic Crystal - Gervish +50%

Revised the acceptance condition for the "Weakness of the Living Legend" quest in the quest log (O) to match the actual condition.
Highlighted certain parts of the dialogue for accepting the "To Heidel Church" quest.
Fixed the issue where you could not proceed with the "Who's Not Working?" quest due to missing NPCs.
Fixed the issue where you could not interact with the drawers of books at the Great Library of Grána to complete the quest Bound in Darkness.

  - Alchem

Interface Changes

[Notice] Although the Life Skill category UI for Bartering will be applied after the 27th maintenance, the UI itself will be added after the 20th maintenance. We are making the following announcement to avoid any confusion, since it is only the UI that we are adding first, without reflecting the relevant data. This UI can be found under Barter Information window from ESC > Barter.

The new Life Skill type, Bartering, which can be obtained through bartering, was added to the Global Lab on November 12. Adjustments were made so that all those adventurers who are enjoying the Great Expedition could gain profit and Life EXP at the same time through bartering.

The life skill type Bartering will be officially updated on November 27, 2019. There might be some adjustments for the official update, but for now, we would like to present you the changed UI in the Barter Information window.

Furthermore, soon there will be a functional update for those adventurers of the Great Ocean, including the addition of a Sea Route Search feature, Ship control improvement, etc. Please look forward to it!

  - Before: Storage

Fixed the issue where the tooltip of the BDO Wiki (?) button on the Mount Information window did not appear for both land and aquatic mounts.

  - Conquest War: Saturday 18:00–22:00 PST (02:00–06:00 UTC)

Added new Imperial Cuisine and Imperial Alchemy boxes for Imperial Crafting Delivery.

Imperial Crafting Delivery is a content we hoped would guarantee you a certain profit for cooking or performing alchemy. If the price of your cooking or alchemy product is too low on the Central Market, or if there is already too much of the same product there you could always turn to Imperial Crafting Delivery to make some profit. This is because the amount of Silver you get for each Imperial Cuisine or Imperial Alchemy box is fixed.

However, due to the limited type of items that could be sold through Imperial Crafting Delivery there has been an imbalance in the price and availability of certain items. The food and elixirs unavailable for Imperial Crafting Delivery tend to be overlooked while the items that are available for Imperial Crafting Delivery tend to be high in demand, which drives up market prices.

We wanted to improve the existing system, and we tried to do it in two ways.

Firstly, we wanted simplification and inclusivity. Except for a few items, almost all food and elixirs are now available for Imperial Crafting Delivery. Instead of each food item having its own box, the boxes are now just simply divided by life skill level you need to make the item.

For example, when you use Imperial Cuisine to pack Beer you will get an Apprentice's Cooking Box but if you pack Grain soup you will also get an Apprentice's Cooking Box. For just the Apprentice's Cooking Box alone, you can choose from a list of 16 foods to cook. You can even pack higher-grade versions of food and elixirs for Imperial Crafting Delivery.

Since we greatly decreased the types of Imperial Crafting Delivery boxes, if you make the boxes in bulk they should take up less slots in your storage or inventory.

Despite these changes, depending on which box you want to make, the number and cost of the ingredients may vary. Therefore to maximize profit, you can check the prices on the Central Market before deciding on which box to make, or make the box for which you already own much of the ingredients needed to make it.

Secondly, we wanted to add more rewards. Though the main goal of Imperial Crafting Delivery is earning Silver, we wanted to add some rewards for each time you turn in a box. This is because making Imperial Crafting Delivery boxes uses up a lot of materials, which may leave your storage depleted.

Now, you will get a different type of "Delivery Gift Box" for each type of box you hand into an Imperial Crafting Delivery NPC. From the Delivery Gift Box, you will get one type of item useful for cooking or alchemy, at random. We hope that this will help you make your next Imperial Crafting Delivery box more easily.

The new Imperial Crafting Delivery boxes weigh 50 LT.
Higher-grade versions of the same food item can be used as a substitute at a 1:3 ratio.
- For example, although you need Beer x60 to make an Apprentice's Cooking Box, you will need only Cold Draft Beer x20 to make the same box.

You can go to any Imperial Crafting Delivery NPC to find out the required cooking or alchemy products for crafting each box.
Due to the addition of new Imperial Crafting Delivery boxes, the old Imperial Crafting Delivery boxes can no longer be made.
However, if you have any of these boxes you can still deliver them to an Imperial Crafting Delivery NPC.
Boxes which can no longer be made will no longer be included in the Processing Knowledge List for the Imperial Cuisine and Imperial Alchemy functions the Processing window.

Game World, NPC & Effects

Game World

The damage from horses will now also be included in the AP restriction for Tier 1 Node Wars.
- This restriction only applies to damage to another adventurer from horse skills and mounted combat skills.
- This restriction does not apply to damage to cannons, barricades, and wooden fences from horse skills and mounted combat skills.

Removed extraneous items from which you could gather from (i.e. fish nets) from the Longleaf Tree Sentry Post.

Mounts

Reworked the design of the Mount Information window.
Added information about extra damage against ships and PVP damage to the item descriptions of ship cannons.
Added information about mount skill effects and resource (e.g. Stamina) consumption to the Mount Information window, for all mount skills.
- The information was added to the mouseover tooltip of each mount skill's icon.

Reworked the camera perspective and effects for when certain ships move and use skills.
- Your camera perspective when you are sailing on an Epheria Carrack should now be broader.
- Changed the camera perspective and effects for the skills BreezySail, Ram, and PowerAccel. when they are used by the following ships to hopefully be more immersive: Epheria Cog; Epheria Sailboat; Improved Epheria Sailboat; Epheria Frigate; Improved Epheria Frigate; Epheria Caravel; Epheria Galleass; Epheria Carrack.

Class Changes

All Classes[/h1]

Improved way fights are displayed for Battle Arena and Arena of Arsha, so character movements look more natural.

We made this change in hopes that it will help alleviate the location lag issues at Battle Arena and Arena of Arsha, so you can experience a smoother gaming experience there. We will work to keep providing updates to help improve your gaming experience.

Shai

Fixed the buff effects of the following skills. These are the same skills for which buff effects were disabled during a previous patch because Shai's DP was being applied abnormally when using these skills.
- Misty Haze
- Twirl-Three
- Kwik-Two
- Hop-Three

Item Changes

Added a new item called Abyssal Gem.
- Abyssal Gems can be obtained through a newly added daily quest at Oquilla's Eye.
  - You can check which quest via the Quest, or Knowledge windows.
- Use Simple Alchemy in the processing window to combine Abyssal Gem x2 into a Tear of the Ocean.

Pearl apparel that are not bound yet can no longer be enhanced with Black Spirit's Claw.
Your character will no longer cheer when it gets Everlasting Herb.
Added instructions on how to use Elixir of Regeneration and Tears of the Star in their item descriptions.
You can now put [Guild] Breezy Crystal and [Guild] Origin of Wind in the inventory of your guild's Galley.
Added a set effect for equipping Loggia, Geranoa, or Manos life skill accessories.
- Life EXP Gain +2% for every two Loggia accessories
- Life EXP Gain +3.5% for every two Geranoa accessories
- Life EXP Gain +5% for every two Manos accessories"

We developed life skill mastery accessories so adventurers with lower life skill level could improve their life skills faster, while adventurers with higher life skill levels could also benefit since the items improved their life mastery. Since these accessoires are not restricted to specific life skills they had a buff to increase Life EXP gain, which applies to all life skills.

This update adds an additional Life EXP gain buff if you equip life skill accessories of the same set. We hope that will help you improve your life skills even faster than before. This set effect is not affected by the enhancement level of your life skill mastery accessories. However, because the set effect takes into affect even when you only have two accessories from a set, we hope that these new set effects are accessible to all sorts of adventurers, new and seasoned.

Added instructions on how to use [Guild] Breezy Crystal and [Guild] Origin of Wind to their respective item descriptions.
Changed the drop rate of Black Magic Crystal items in the following locations.
Changed the specs of some of the items NPC Haz sells.
- Increased Arsha's Gloves (Accuracy)'s DP by 4.
- Increased Arsha's Earring (AP)'s DP by 4
