Content

O'dyllita Main Quests Part II
Added the main quest in Pt.2 "[Lv.60 O'dyllita II] Gem of Imbalance" where the Flower of the Burning Moon and shadows with the blessings of Queen Viorencia Odore are preparing for the encroaching Hadum's Realm.

Added the story about the Fallen Ahib in Thornwood Forest.
- The quest "Ones Seized in Evil Aura" can be accepted from Black Spirit in Thornwood Forest after completing the quest "[O'dyllita] Song of Phantoms."

[/list]
[/list]

Here is the long awaited update! The main quests in O'dylitta Part 2 takes our Adventurers through the story about the daughters of Sylvia. An exciting story will unfold about the events that happened in this peaceful and beautiful looking forest.

Bloodstorm Nouver
- Nouver the Sand Tyrant will occasionally be stained by the blood of victims that died in the desert sandstorms. The tyrant is rumored to appear even more vicious than before. It is called "Bloodstorm Nouver" and is greatly feared by desert travellers, merchants, and even the military.
  - Bloodstorm Nouver is even more powerful than the pre-existing Nouver. It blows whirlwinds at distant Adventurers and attacks from beneath the desert sands.
  - Bloodstorm Nouver drops much better loot. Adventurers will be able to get up to IV Nouver Sub-weapons (possible enhancements: +0, I, II, III, IV). It also has increased drop rates for Belongings of an Adventurer, Gold Bars (up to 1,000G), and each type of Magical Black Stones.
  - Bloodstorm Nouver will have new attack patterns.

▲ Appears with a powerful storm (Left) / Fires two fire breathes right after each other (Right)

▲ Creates a phantom using the sandstorm (Left) / Cries out and summons a huge whirlwind (Right)

▲ 3 stage attack from the air (Left) / Slams down on the ground to bring utter destruction in the area (Right)
※ These images were taken using a GM character that does not receive damage to take better pictures.

Last time when we released Nightmarish Kzarka, we were worried about our adventurers' response as it was significantly harder. To our surprise, it received a lot of positive feedback from the community. Adventurers were pleased to see that we finally have a great world boss. Of course, the loots that dropped also helped in this.
We are now glad to announce to you the release of an even more powerful Nouver: the "Bloodstorm Nouver." This world boss demands quick decisions to be made with a variety of attack patterns and attacks with sharper claws and teeth. We hope it will be an exciting experience for our adventurers. We are currently working on Karanda and Kutum as well. We hope to hear a lot of suggestions and feedback for our world bosses.

Changes to Node/Conquest Wars, boss spawns, and Tribute Wagon departure time have been reflected so please follow the start and closing times of the local time for the North America servers accordingly.
- Node War: 18:00-20:00 PST / 21:00-23:00 EST

Content

Mythical Arduanatt
- Added a new dream horse available through Mythical Awakening, the Mythical Arduanatt.
  - Stable your Arduanatt with Gula, stable keeper of Stonetail Horse Ranch, to attempt Mythical Awakening.
  - You will need 1 male and 1 female Lv. 30 Arduanatts.
  - Use the Mythical Censer to attempt Mythical Awakening, which has a fixed success rate of 3%.
  - Successfully breeding the 2 Arduanatts will lead to 1 awakened Mythical Arduanatt.
  - If failed, the 2 Arduanatts can be recovered at any time, and use the Mythical Censer to try again.
  - Newly born Mythical Arduanatts have all the skills the Arduanatts were born with along with Mythical Arduanatt skills they've known from birth.
  - Arduanatt's skill from birth will be at 100% mastery, and will not disappear even if you reset their growth.
  - The base price of the Mythical Arduanatt will be higher than the combined prices of the male and female Lv. 30 Arduanatts. However, due to its unique nature, it cannot be registered in the horse market.
  - Mythical Arduanatt is a legendary dream horse born from Mythical Awakening and does not specify a gender.
- Details on Mythical Arduanatt skills are as follows.

[/list]

To craft the "'Mythical Censer," you will need the following materials.

The higher the tier of the horse supplied to the imperial house, the greater amount of "Flower of Oblivion" you will obtain.

Arduanatt reigns over the skies, Diné rides the desert dunes, and Doom conquers on land. The beauty and power of these dream horses, especially their unique skills, have been longed by many adventurers over the years. However, over the years, many adventurers have been able to tame them and a greater number of adventurers have sought for a new type of dream horse. Thus, we present before you a dream horse of even greater magnitude in both power and beauty. We hope this provides a new goal for adventurers who enjoy horse training and dream horse content. We particularly hope this is also a more meaningful endeavor for those high-leveled trainers as well. While we only have the Mythical Arduanatt to show for today, we are currently preparing to release an upgraded Diné and Doom as well.

Revamped Black Spirit's Adventure
- Now you will roll not 1 but 2 dice, and their sum will determine how many spaces the Black Spirit moves forward.
- Use the "Acquire" button on the lower portion of Black Spirit's Adventure to obtain Black Spirit's Dice.
- You will gain an extra pair of dice every 30 minutes, up to 3 times a day.
- Getting the same number on the dice will automatically grant you another roll.
  * However, an extra roll will not be granted if you land on a bonus square or the finish line, or if you roll the same number on both dice for the second time.
- Your Black Spirit piece will change appearance every 10th round completed.
- Click < Here > to see what has changed for the Black Spirit's Adventure fully.

Black Spirit's Adventure is one of our most beloved contents. We chose to revamp it by retaining much of the accessibility in its original variation, while adding some strategic elements to spice up the fun.

Added the Naval Fame system.
- Naval Fame is shared by family, and measures the adventurer's Karma at sea.
- Naval Fame begins at 0, can be restored up to 300,000, or fall to -1,000,000.
- If your Naval Fame is greater than 0, you'll become a "Navy", and if lower than 0, a "Pirate."
- While in pirate status, your ship will be marked in red, allowing you to be attacked by the ships of adventurers without activating PvP mode.
- Each time you force PvP by attacking an adventurer, your first attack will reduce your Naval Fame by -50,000.
- You can no longer ride the Guild Galley if your Naval Fame is in pirate mode.
- Destroying a ship reduces your Naval Fame by -200,000.
- The act of defeating an adventurer, after destroying a ship, will reduce your Karma not Naval Fame.
- While in pirate status, you won't be able to interact with, repair or supply your ship through normal wharf managers. You will only be able to repair and resupply your ship through Gafur, the wharf manager of the pirate-ridden Kuit Islands.
- You can restore your Naval Fame by defeating Sea Creatures.
- Your Naval Fame is affected by Guild Skills, Pet Skills, Tear of Repentance, and other Karma Recovery effects. However, your Naval Fame is not affected by the Book of Repentance.

The Naval Fame system has been added as a new content. This will serve as the foundation for our pirates and bounty hunting system. Defeating sea creatures will increase your Naval Fame, while attacking other adventurers and their ships as a pirate will reduce your Naval Fame. If your Naval Fame is below 0, you will be severely limited in your access to sea-related content. Also, please note that Naval Fame is applied to your entire family. We are currently preparing future contents so that different roles can be played by adventurers in Naval Fame without being unfair to one particular side over the other.

Added Ancient Spirit Dust x50 to the "Victory at Red Battlefield!" quest rewards.
Increased the number of Red Seals obtainable from losing in the Red Battlefield to 2 seals.
Changes to Node/Conquest Wars, boss spawns, and Tribute Wagon departure time have been reflected so please follow the start and closing times of the local time for the EU servers accordingly.
- Node War: 20:00 CET–22:00 CET
- Conquest War: 20:00 CET–24:00 CET
- Tribute Wagon Departure 18:00 CET
- See the link for the changed World Boss spawn schedule < Here >.
- Please note Daylight saving time 2020 for North America will end at 02:00 local standard time on Sunday, 1st of November. However the necessary changes to Node/Conquest Wars, world boss spawns, and Tribute Wagon departure times for NA servers will take into effect starting with November 4th regular maintenance. (Please mind that Node Wars and boss spawns will appear to occur 1 hours early during Nov. 1 to Nov. 4 maintenance).

System

Renewed the design of the Settings window that appears when you create a character and log in at the start of the game.

NPC

Taya, the Old Moon Manager of Duvencrune, now rents out the Old Moon Fence.
Old Moon Manager Mene has come to O'draxxia following the Kalicha Merchant Guild.
Moved the sailors waiting for their captains at the tavern in Velia so that they wouldn't interfere with the tavern business.

All Classes

Re-adjusted skill add-ons for all classes.

We've improved the skill add-ons for each class. Previously, you chose 2 out of 6 given add-ons and added them to your character's skills, but now you can choose the add-ons you want from 24 add-ons (shared across all classes). The limitations of the previous system led adventurers to approach the add-ons as if there was a correct formula to use them, but with this renewal, we hope that adventurers will be more experimental in their customizations of their skill add-ons according to their play style. Also, before we had grouped our skill add-on effects into 5 levels (for example, the amount of Monster AP increased differed depending on the skill) based on the skill's cooldown time and utility, but now we've reduced it to 3 levels in order to increase their utility. Additionally, we've made adjustments based on adventurer opinions on how the skill add-on effects were being applied to all hits for certain skills.

Fixed the issue where the target of a successful grab skill would sometimes display irregular movements.

[By Class]

Sorceress

Night Crow - Fixed the issue where using the skill while consuming Shards of Darkness after having learned Crow Food II, Storming Crow II, and with Storming Crow II locked, would display irregular movement.

Striker

Fallout - Fixed the issue where the skill's add-on effect wouldn't activate when the skill was on cooldown.
Infernal Destruction - Fixed the issue where the skill's add-on effect wouldn't activate when using Land Buster.
Spiral Cannon - Fixed the issue where the skill would only apply 6 hits instead of 7.

For details on newly added Pearl Shop Update, please click Here !

The Ancient Fragments of the Ancient Puturum who emerge from the Dark Rifts have begun to emit even stronger energies.
- Changed the active region where the Ancient Puturum protect the Ancient Ruins and their legacy to Valencia's desert only.
- Changed the loot from the Ancient Puturum, which has become fortified with the energy emanated from the Ancient Fragments, into a more valuable reward.
- Defeat the Ancient Puturum from the Dark Rift to obtain Mass of Pure Magic and Howling Dead Man's Chest.
- You'll randomly get one of the following items enhanced up to DUO (II) from the Howling Dead Man's Chest: Laytenn's Power Stone, Ogre Ring, Eye of the Ruins Ring, Valtarra Eclipsed Belt, Basilisk's Belt, Ring of Crescent Guardian.

Quest

Added additional quests to obtain the Royal Fern Root, one of the materials required for awakening the Mythical Arduanatt.
- Details regarding the quests are as follows.

These quests are family quests, and you may only accept and complete one of them at any given time.
- These quests are Daily quests, and you can accept them once more after they reset at 00:00.

Fixed the graphical issue with some regions in front of Balenos.
Fixed the issue with incorrect font color being displayed after line breaks in certain chat messages.
Fixed the issue with the message that appears when using the Battle Command to Gather.
Fixed the issue where the caution message would sometimes not appear when enhancing your equipment.
[Archer] Fixed the issue where the ra'ghon and the crossbow would sometimes disappear when performing certain actions while wearing the Crayodel Outfit.
Fixed the issue where the node guild information did not fit in its window while viewed on the World Map.
Fixed the issue where the Chat window size decreased when you loaded a preset with Quick Hotkeys.
Fixed the issue where characters would sometimes get stuck within trees in some regions of Longleaf Tree Sentry Post.
[Shai] Fixed the graphical issue that occured when wearing the Marine Romance outfit with the tied-up hair customization setting.

Known Issues

We are aware of the issue where the following quests from the Halloween in Florin event sometimes do not appear as completed in the Quest (O) window when having completed them.
- [Event] Threats Preceding Cleaning
- [Event] Frightened Doll that Ran Away
  This issue will be resolved with the November 4 maintenance.

We are aware of the issue where the NPC Kisha of Florin is hidden by the event background, making it difficult to talk to her. This issue will be resolved with the November 4 maintenance.
We are aware of the issue where you cannot take out your ship when it gets destroyed while in Pirate status for destroying another adventurer's ship after having taken out your ship from a wharf that is not on the Kuit Islands (Pirate Island) while in Marine status.
- If you experience this issue, please contact Customer Support for further assistance.

We are aware of the issue where the "Extra AP Against Monsters +20 for 7 sec." Skill Add-on incorrectly displays the effect as +25 in the buff icon.
We are aware of the issue where the "A Gift for the New Black Spirit's Adventure!" Challenge incorrectly states that it can be completed daily instead of just once during the event period. This issue will be resolved with the November 4 maintenance.
We are aware of the issue where you may be unable to restore your Naval Fame to Marine status if your Naval Fame changes to Pirate status while none of your characters in your Family have a large ship taken out.
- This issue will be resolved during the November 4 maintenance.

Nightmarish Kzarka

Kzarka, bereft of his soul by Illezra who brought the Three Days of Darkness upon Mediah, has begun to consume the adventurers who stand in the way of his Ritual of Resurrection. On the days his rage reaches its peak, he plunges into rage as "Nightmarish Kzarka" and darkness shrouds the skies of Serendia.

During the appearance of Nightmarish Kzarka, a greater darkness shrouds Serendia. The Lord of Serendia is looking for powerful adventurers who can vanquish this darkness.
Nightmarish Kzarka is much more powerful than the regular Kzarka but he will drop more valuable loot. You can obtain up to TET (IV) Kzarka Main Weapon (+0, I, II, III, IV) and also have an increased chance of getting Belongings of an Adventurer, Gold Bar (up to 1KG), or a type of Magical Black Stone.
[Weekly] Trophy: Kzarka quest and Season Pass quest of defeating Kzarka will not be completed when you defeat him as Nightmarish Kzarka is a unique monster.

[/list]

Known to many by the title "KeeezAaannng!", the World Boss Kzarka will now occasionally appear in a new form. The newly created Nightmarish Kzarka comes back with a force to reclaim its fame as being the first World Boss of Black Desert. The renewal of a World Boss was quite a challenge to us as adventurers had been asking about it for quite some time now. We didn't want to radically change things by shooting up the difficulty levels so we decided to make Nightmarish Kzarka appear by chance and retained some of the experience with the Kzarka we are familiar with. (We have plans to renew other World Bosses as well but we might approach it differently from how we've handled Kzarka. Ex) Boss appearing only during the evening, or only appearing when a group of adventurers join forces together.) Nightmarish Kzarka will drop better loot compared to the regular Kzarka. But beware, as Nightmarish Kzarka is much more challenging than its previous form.

▲ (Left) Nightmarish Kzarka appears as it deals AoE damage / (Right) Kzarka opening up a series of attacks and AoE damage as a pattern

▲ (Left) Roaring, and attacking with black breath / (Right) An attack pattern in which nearby targets are pulled and dealt with a powerful blow

▲ (Left) Tentacle Summoning attack patterns (You will receive a movement speed/attack speed debuff upon hit) / (Right) A berserk pattern that brings down chaos

※ Images were taken using a GM character which is invincible to attacks.

La Orzeca Outfit
Viorencia Odore, the queen of the Arid Land of O'dyllita, announced that she would grant the Orzeca relic known as the La Orzeca Outfit to whoever brings her Quturan's Lungs, the Divine Tree of the fallen Ancient Orzeca Kingdom.
- The La Orzeca Outfit was a gear made in Orzeca long ago, in order to protect those from the grips of Hadum. It was created by instilling the powers of the Thornwood goddess into the incarnation of greed.
- The powers of the Thornwood goddess were extracted from the gear and into Quturan's Lungs when Orzeca met its demise. the Divine Tree. Since then, its whereabouts have been unknown. According to the Ahibs, recently, it can be found from the Monster Zones below.
- Collect the leaves affected by the powers of the Quturan's Lungs and unite them together into a single source of power. These leaves have a higher chance to drop than the lungs.
- ※ Perform Simple Alchemy on Quturan's Black Leaf to obtain Quturan's Left Lung, and on Quturan's Ashen Leaf to obtain Quturan's Right Lung.
- Right-click on the lungs to begin a story quest which is available once per family. At the later stages of the quest, you can obtain the La Orzeca Helmet with Quturan's Left Lung, and the La Orzeca Armor with Quturan's Right Lung.
- You can obtain the La Orzeca Outfit through NPCs by exchanging additional Quturan's Lungs you obtain.
- Once you have completed all the La Orzeca Helmet and La Orzeca Armor quests, you'll be given a final quest through the Black Spirit in which you can obtain the "La Orzeca" title.

La Orzeca Outfit is the very first outfit in the game that can be obtained through loots. Its design was based on the ancient theme (Black Spirit concept) along with added effects and an exclusive title once it is crafted. This outfit has been aimed for adventurers who are at a fairly advanced level and hope to distinguish themselves aesthetically. We hope this outfit can become another exciting goal for adventurers to seek out as it is unique not only in its look but also in the adventures you must overcome to claim it as yours. We did consider adding special effects to the La Orzeca Outfit but we decided not to as it should be an optional challenge instead of a compulsory one. Hence, the outfit will have normal effects just like other regular outfits.

Perilla’s Star
Perilla is the former love of Fughar, the Chief Manager of the Crow Merchants Guild. The once lost Perilla's Star she left behind for Fughar has reappeared for adventurers to explore.
- Accept the quest "[Perilla's Star] Fughar's Woe" from the Black Spirit. The quest unravels Fughar's tragic love story of how Perilla left him and how he had to work hard to escape from his poverty-striken circumstances.
- The "[Perilla's Star] Fughar's Woe" quest can be obtained by Season Characters or normal characters converted from Season Characters.
- Complete the [Perilla's Star] Fughar's Woe quest line to receive Season Special Gift Exchange Coupon, which can be used to exchange for Perilla's Star.

Autumn Season Early Graduation Starts
Behind every great feat is a special reward. Meet <Crow Merchants Guild Chief Manager> Fughar to apply for Autumn Season's Early Graduation!
- Adventurers who've met the Early Graduation requirements between Oct 21 (after maintenance) to Nov 18 (before maintenance) can go to Fughar and receive the “[Season Server Graduation] At the Crossroad” quest to begin your graduation early.

※ AP and DP from Adventure Logs do not count towards this requirement.
※ Check for more details in our GM notes about the [Autumn Season Early Graduation] post.
※ Please note that you will no longer be able to enjoy our Autumn Season related events, contents, and Season Server benefits once you graduate early.
※ You cannot enhance Tuvala weapons by converting them with a Conversion Stone after Early Graduation.

The completion record of all "[Enhancement] Even Stronger Tuvala Gear" weekly quests has been reset.
Added Rift's Echo as a Season Server weekly quest reward for defeating monsters.
- Adventurers who have already completed Season Server weekly quests can reaccept the quests again after the October 21st maintenance.
- As a reminder, these weekly quests can be found under "[Enhancement] Even Stronger Tuvala Gear" tab in the Quests (O) window.
- You can accept and complete one of the following quests once per family each week.
- The Rift's Echo will be given in addition to the Time-filled Black Stone x600 or Tuvala Ore x90 or Refined Magical Black Stone x40 rewards you can choose from for completing the weekly quests.

Added Alustin's Alchemy Journal in the Adventure Logs.
- This log holds records of Alustin, the famous alchemist of Velia.
- This Adventure Log becomes available once you reach level 61 and complete [O'dyllita] Keepsake of Ataraxia, and accept and complete Adventure Log: Alustin's Alchemy Journal from the Black Spirit.
- Complete the objectives to obtain a large number of Caphras Stones.

Queen Brolina of Kamasylvia has answered a villager's appeal from Grána and has imported dairy cows from their ally, Calpheon, to start a farm.
- The farm is located at the west of Grána.
- The farm is managed by <Dreaming Shepherd> Rosaria the Papu. You can also meet Povios, the Xian Merchant from Calpheon there.
- Povios is only available to players who’ve completed the renewed Kamasylvia main quest line.

We’ve had many requests from adventurers asking about adding dairy cows to Valencia City and O’draxxia. Matters are being discussed and decisions haven't been made but it seems there's a good chance that discussions will end up with Valencia City having camels added instead of dairy cows, due to the regional environment.

Changed the Black Desert Team's entrance and revival point of Castle Ruins in the Red Battlefield so that it is not too close to the castle walls.

System

For Europe, Daylight Savings Time ends on Sunday, October 25 at 03:00 local standard time (or 02:00 CET) for Europe.
- Changes to Node/Conquest Wars and world boss spawns for EU servers will take into effect starting with October 28 regular maintenance.
- The starting and ending times for Node/Conquest War and the Tribute Wagon departure time were pushed backward by 1 hour for our European servers due to the start of daylight saving time.
- This simply means your Node/Conquest Wars will start at 20:00 CET, and Tribute Wagons will depart at 18:00 CET.
For North America, Daylight Savings Time ends on Sunday, November 1 at 02:00 local standard time (or 01:00 PST) for Europe.
- Changes to Node/Conquest Wars and world boss spawns for NA servers will take into effect starting with November 4 regular maintenance.
- This simply means your Node/Conquest Wars will start at 18:00 PST/21:00 EST, and Tribute Wagons will depart at 16:00 PST/19:00 EST.
Fixed the issue where the game client would sometimes stop when using Epheria Carrack's FocusFire skill (Q or E).

Game World

Changed the Quarry lighting to be brighter to increase efficiency of Quarry workers for the sake of Marco Faust, the Lord of Keplan who is suffering from sickness in Calpheon.

Coming Next Week

Certain areas in Bartali Farm will be adjusted with next week's October 28, 2020 regular maintenance (Please check the future announcement for details).
- As a result, any garden fences and crops planted in this area will be removed and moved to Heidel Storage.
- Therefore, we ask you to move any installed garden fences from this location before next maintenance on October 28, 2020 since any remaining crops will have their growth reset. We thank you for your understanding in advance.

NPC

Updated the exchange list of Philaberto Falasi of Port Epheria.
- You can exchange the Epheria Sailboat Design with the Epheria Frigate design or vice versa through the quest "[Daily] Falasi Family's Kindness."

All Classes

Improved Emergency Escape so that it displays the cooldown time.

Coming Next Week

With next week's October 28, 2020 regular maintenance, Skill Add-on system for all classes will be revised where you will have more freedom to customize Skill Add-ons to suit your play style better (Please check the future announcement for details).
Please note that this means all of your previously set Skill Add-ons will be reset with October 28, 2020 regular maintenance.

By Class

Witch

Fixed the issue with odd camera movements while turning the camera during Prime: Lightning Storm: High Voltage.

Wizard

Fixed the issue with odd camera movements while turning the camera during Prime: Lightning Storm: High Voltage.

Ninja

Fixed the issue where switching weapons from Sura Katana during Sprint would occasionally place the weapon in an odd position.

Striker

Fixed the unnatural facial expressions made during the use of Crouching Wolf and Succession: Crouching Wolf.

Hashashin

Added Hashashin to Trial Characters.

Added furniture items obtainable from sea creatures.
- You can craft Ocean Stalker Chandelier and Nineshark Chandelier at level 3 Furniture Workshops of Calpheon, Epheria, and Florin using items collected from sea creatures.
You can now Manufacture Crow's Trade Voucher into an Item Collection Increase Scroll (60 min) via the Processing (L) menu.
For details on the newly added Pearl Shop Update, please click < Here > !

[/list]

Gatekeepers of Crescent Shrine, Desert Naga Temple, Titium Valley, and Cadry Ruins have obtained great power through the Argos blood ritual.
- The gatekeepers now use more deadly attacks as they have been strengthened by the blood ritual.
- They will also sometimes endure mortal wounds and retreat back to their territory nearby to heal themselves.
- They will disappear if they are given enough time to recuperate in their territory. Defeat them before they can recover to obtain their loot.
- You can obtain "Intricately Patterned Mystical Shard" and other valuable items by defeating these enhanced gatekeepers.
- Increased respawn time for these gatekeepers once they have been defeated.
  You now receive notification when these gatekeepers appear.
Rumor has it that Graverobber Afuaru wanders in certain regions carrying more valuable items.
- Defeating monsters in Thornwood Forest, Tunkuta, Olun's Valley, Crypt of Resting Thoughts, and Ash Forest has a chance to spawn Graverobber Afuaru.
- Increased the value of the items that Graverobber Afuaru drops at Roud Sulfur Mine, Pila Ku Jail, Hystria Ruins, Aakman Temple, Navarn Steppe, Manshaum Forest, Tshira Ruins, Sherekhan Necropolis, Tooth Fairy Forest (Forest Ronaros), and Blood Wolf Settlement.
- There is a chance to obtain a very precious item by defeating Graverobber Afuaru in certain regions.

Graverobber Afuaru was created as a refreshing element in combat for adventurers while defeating monsters. However, we felt that it wasn't interesting enough so we've made changes so that treasure materials drop at a very low rate in regions where treasures can be found, and added it to O'dyllita.

Changed the indicated zone of attack on the ground to be more accurate when Ahib Griffon, appearing in the Dark Rift, uses its whirlwind attacks.
Fixed issue where Apostle of Immorality would not react to the player or exist in the correct spawn point at Star's End.
Partially changed how Apostle of Malevolence appears to make the relevant fix above.

Quest

A new record about the ancient kingdom Orzeca has been discovered in O'dyllita's Crypt of Resting Thoughts.

Queen Viorencia Odore has announced that she would grant the Resplendent Moonlight Chest to whoever helps decipher the Orzeca's Records: Time of Dragons. Rumors say that people have seen the radiant light illuminating from this Resplendent Moonlight Chest, a kind of light only seen in that of a dragon's heart.
- You can accept the quest "Orzeca's Records: Time of Dragons" from Black Eyeroot of the Crypt of Resting Thoughts, with a character who has completed the quest "[O'dyllita] Vuhura Kaheliak" from "[Lv.60 O'dyllita I] Flower of the Burning Moon" questline.
- This quest is only available once per family.
- Complete all 14 missions after completing the quest "Orzeca's Records: Time of Dragons" to be blessed by Queen Viorencia. However, this will not be an easy challenge.
- Open the Resplendent Moonlight Chest to obtain Inverted Heart of Garmoth.

Many treasure items are awaiting to be found by adventurers in the world of Black Desert. Garmoth's Heart, which has certainly been the biggest center of attention, is a treasure that directly affects your equipment level, making adventurers very anxious to obtain it. To help relatively new adventurers dive into this race, we aimed to create a system where patient and constant efforts in the long-term was a requirement in attaining this item. Black Desert will continue to discuss ways to encourage participation from adventurers of different passion to be included in our future.

Fixed the issue where the Black Spirit would be summoned automatically even when there was no extra quest you could accept while doing a main quest.

Fixed the issue where colors wouldn't be applied when a line break was added to the Enhancement Success/Failure text in the chat window.
Adjusting the Adventurer Name Settings will now affect the settings of the name that is displayed in NPC dialogues and Party notification messages.
Increased the RMB speed in the following situations:
- When retrieving or taking out an item from the Inventory
- When selling an item at the Shop
Added a button to immediately enter a min and max price in the Guild Contract.
Added more information about life skill level requirements for fishing in the tooltip of the fish during auto-fishing.
Changed to display the required Contribution points and available contribution points for each list while checking the item list that can be rented with Contribution Points by talking to an NPC.
Fixed the issue where the quest name would bleed out of the Quest (O) window when it was too long.
Fixed the issue where the item message would be different from the chat window message when obtaining a treasure item.
Fixed the Guild Member Status list's menu buttons to fit within the screen.
Fixed the Appoint buttons to be placed together in the Guild Member Status list's menu buttons.
Fixed so that Ban feature cannot be designated as a hotkey in the Guild Member Status list.
Fixed the issue where the contract would reappear when an Advisor renews his/her own contract.
Fixed the imbalance in Quartermaster and Cannoneer text arrangement in the Guild Member Status list.

[/list]

Fixed the issue where the messages of obtaining, successfully enhancing, or failing to enhance the Fallen God's Armor would be displayed as "Fallen God's Armor" in the chat window.
Fixed the Fallen God's Armor to be displayed correctly in the Web Central Market.
[Hashashin] Fixed the graphical issue with the gloves that occurred when equipping Domtur Gloves and Mezari Armor together.
[Archer] Fixed the issue where the armor looked odd when equipping Glorious Shudad or Shudad Black set while wearing Karki Suit.
[Ranger] Fixed the graphical issue with the eyes that occurred in certain face shapes when wearing Trilby Hat.
Fixed the issue where the Champron looked awkward when equipping Oquilla Dream Champron of Oquilla Dream Horse Gear Set.
[Dark Knight] Fixed the graphical issue with the hair when equipping the Arethel Outfit with the Yianaros Headpiece already on.
[Mystic] Fixed the graphical issue with the neck after setting the game to Remastered mode.
Fixed the issue where food knowledge that you have not learned yet appears in Cooking.
Fixed so that Guilds participating in Node/Conquest Wars cannot appoint a guild master and/or change guild positions

Content

Added two new Guild positions.
*The new "Advisor" position was added to assist the Guild Master. Most of the Guild Master duties will be granted to the Advisor.
- The Advisor will have all rights excluding Disband Guild, Guild Auction House, Request the Final Battle (or to accept it), Reset Guild Skills, and rights to destroy Guild Mounts.
- There can only be one Advisor in a Guild, regardless of the Guild size.
- The Advisor can use Guild Crafting.
- The Advisor can distribute Allowance and Bonuses.
- The Advisor can increase Guild Protection Capacity, and can also enable or disable it.
- The Advisor can carry out Guild Contract Renewals for himself/herself and also for the Guild Officer, Quartermaster, and normal Guild Members.
  The Advisor can obtain and use all Guild skills, and can use Battle Command to Gather. However, if the Guild Master is online, they can only be used within the same server.
  *The new "Cannoneer" position was added to actively play a role in starting Guild Wars, as the position is intended to be specialized in Node/Conquest War rights.
- There can be multiple Cannoneers in a Guild, regardless of the Guild size.
- The Cannoneer can install annexes during Node/Conquest Wars just like the Quartermaster.
- The Cannoneer can purchase Node/Conquest War goods at the Guild Shop using the allowance provided by the Guild.

The rights for the following Guild positions were changed.
- The rights to destroy Guild Mounts (Galley and Elephant) used to be given to Guild Officers or higher positions. These rights will now only be given to the Guild Master.
- The rights to equip/unequip gear for Guild Mounts used to be given to Quartermasters or higher positions. These rights will now only be given to the Guild Master and Advisor.
  *However, repairs for the equipped gear will only be possible through Guild Officers or higher positions like before.
- The Appoint Master button becomes available to the Advisor and Officer(s) if the Guild Master hasn't logged in for 15 days.
- Any guild member can deposit into the Guild Storage, but only certain guild positions may retrieve from the Guild Storage.
- Any ranking guild member may install/uninstall annexes for nodes, but Guild Officers or higher positions may use the annex's function to begin the process.
- Guild members of Advisor or higher positions may summon the guild boss Khan for Guild Boss Subjugation, while other bosses require guild Officer or higher positions to summon.
- Any guild member can purchase in the guild shop within their set allowance, but specific items will be restricted to certain conditions.

We've added the new Advisor and Cannoneer guild positions.

The Advisor position is granted even greater authority than the Guild Officer position, as the Advisor can even renew Guild Officer contracts. Guild Masters can appoint their most trusted Officer as an Advisor, and so we've added this position in hoping that it will allow for more flexible and convenient guild management.

Cannoneers are quite important for a guild that enjoys Node/Conquest Wars. We've added the Cannoneer position not only to identify that appointed guild member as the Cannoneer, but to grant them some bragging rights, too. At the moment, there are no special powers specific to this position. However, we are currently in the middle of preparing something.

We plan on developing even more positions to diversify the roles of guild members in their respective guilds. We are especially taking into consideration how to make each position unique, so we ask for much of your suggestions and feedback as well.

Improved the Navigate feature for areas bordering Valencia and the desert.
The number of Total Likes for all Chat Groups will be reset on October 21 (Wednesday) maintenance.
- Adventurers who own either gold, silver, or bronze Black Spirit icons will receive a temporary title for 90 days for their diligent participation.
- Adventurers who own either gold, silver, or bronze Black Spirit icons in any of the 20 Hall of Adventurers Chat Groups will receive temporary titles as well.
- Please check the full announcement < Here >.

Game World

A new Dairy Cow Ranch will be added near Grána in Kamasylvia during next maintenance on October 21, 2020. Thus, the location of the upcoming dairy cow ranch will be changed from its current status as a “Combat Zone” to a “Safe Zone” with today's maintenance and any garden fences and crops planted in this location have been removed and moved to Heidel Storage. Please check the full announcement < Here >.

- <Undying Shadow> Kyrill appears in the Pit of the Undying at the "PEN: Undying Crow's Insignia" level.
- Kyrill is quite agile, a master of surprise attacks, and bears a keen personality that leaves little room for making mistakes.
- <Undying Shadow> Kharoxia appears in the Pit of the Undying at the "PEN: Undying Crow's Insignia" level.
- Kharoxia pours out her might into each one of her attacks, silently swatting away her opponent's puny attempts at retaliation with her destructive force.

You can now enter the Pit of the Undying instantly from the following regions as well.
- Calpheon
- Heidel
- Valencia
- Altinova
- Grána
- Duvencrune
- O'draxxia

[IMAGE]

The owners of O'dyllita, the Arid Land, who were veiled in secrecy for a long time, have finally revealed themselves.
Fallen Ahibs are wandering in the fog at Thornwood Forest, and the Turos have revealed themselves in Tunkuta following the Earth God Tunta's will. Strange Golems are making noises that reverberate through Olun's Valley, and the first Fallen Ahibs who bear the deepest darkness have awakened at the Crypt of Resting Thoughts.

Fallen God's Armor is the ultimate defense gear. It can be crafted by using PEN (V) defense gear but having the need to enhance it again made it feel as if it was a defense gear of a lower tier than PEN (V).
