Winter Season, the third addition of season servers has arrived. Take a look at what's in store below!

You can also find this guide <HERE>




As with previous season servers, go to the Create Character window, choose your character, and select Season Character to create a season character.

You must first have enough character creation slots of course, and you can create only one season character per Family. If you want to create another season character, you must delete the one you had previously created.




Unlike the regular servers, the season servers provide special buffs that will allow your season characters to level up more quickly.

Only season characters can enter the season servers. However, season characters can enter both regular and season servers. Starting from the same point as all other players, you will feel the excitement that a new seasonal content brings you once more.
Also, although the season server provides a Combat EXP increase buff as Olvia server does, this buff does not have any maximum level restrictions on the season server, allowing you to level up your season character incredibly fast.

After the December 22nd (Tues.) regular maintenance, there will be five season servers added just like during previous seasons.

Enjoy 4 Season servers for all adventurers!

• Enjoy the regular season servers and get tips from the other adventures who may have experienced season servers before.

Enjoy an exclusive season server for PvP-lovers!

• The PvP exclusive season server will offer you higher item drop rates! It's high risk, high return!

LEVELING AID BOXES

If you reach Lv. 10 with your season character, you will get a Leveling Aid Box as a Black Desert Season Pass challenge completion reward.
You receive more items from Leveling Aid Boxes as you level up your character.
Leveling Aid Boxes can be used up to Lv. 61.
Using a Leveling Aid Box will instantly grant you a Combat EXP +100% buff for 24 hours to help boost your character’s growth.
Other enhancement aid items and inventory slot expansion coupons are offered as well.

That's not all, Winter Season will offer boosted rewards for reaching level 60 and 61!


You can obtain the "[Season] Secret Book of the Misty Breeze'' from <Crow Merchants Guild Chief Manager> Fughar whenever you complete main quests for Balenos, Serendia, Calpheon, Mediah, Valencia, Grána, and Duvencrune.

Use the [Season] Secret Book of the Misty Breeze to get plenty of Skill EXP and grow your character by learning more powerful skills.




You can accept season exclusive quests from Fughar, one per Family.
Excluding accessories, if you equip 7 TRI (III) Tuvala gears, you will receive 7 Advice of Valks (+40), and if you equip 7 TET (IV) Tuvala gears, you will receive 7 Advice of Valks (+60).



Black Desert Season Pass challenge completion reward rewards (and Black Spirit Pass rewards in addition for those who have the pass) will also be available during the new Winter Season. Compared to the previous season, 10 more challenges were added for the Winter Season!

One of the new rewards offered this time around is the Old Moon Costume Box!
If you complete one of the challenges offered in the season pass, you can get one of the three new boxes: Old Moon Costume Box (Viper), Old Moon Costume Box (Swiftness), or Old Moon Costume Box (Valor).

Not only will these boxes contain a costume suitable for the class you open it with, but you can also heat the costumes to extract Ancient Spirit's Crystal - Viper, Ancient Spirit's Crystal - Swiftness, or Ancient Spirit's Crystal - Valor!



In addition, the [Season] Coco Leaf from the Autumn Season is no longer available. Instead for the Winter Season you will be able to get [Season] Morning Frostflowers!

Collect [Season] Morning Frostflowers by completing season pass challenges and from Leveling Aid Boxes to exchange for various items.

You will be able to exchange [Season] Morning Frostflowers for big rewards like Manos accessoires, a Tier-8 horse, and so much more! Winter Season, here we come!

See details of the Black Desert Season Pass for the Winter Season below:

Black Desert (Winter) Season Pass Period: December 22, 2020 (after maintenance)—March 31, 2021 (before maintenance)

1. Once the Winter Season starts, log-in with your Season Character.
   
2. Complete the challenges listed on the Black Desert Season Pass available for Season Characters to receive many rewards. If you have a Black Spirit Pass in possession, you can get additional rewards for completing the same challenges.

▲ Black Desert Season Pass can be accessed from the icon located top right of your screen next to the minimap.

• Rewards for completed season pass challenge rewards and Black Spirit Pass rewards can only be obtained once per family.
  • Any unused Black Spirit Pass will be deleted at the end of the Winter Season.
  • Season pass challenge rewards and Black Spirit Pass rewards can only be received during the event period. Please receive the rewards within the event period as they will not be available when the event is over.
  • You need to complete the challenges in sequence to complete and claim rewards for the next challenge.
  - For example, you must complete “Leveling Up, One Step at a Time! - Reach Lv. 10” to be able to complete “Steel Imps! You’re All Dead Meat! - Defeat 20 Imps.”

Not sure what the reward items actually do? Check out the list below!

• For details about each item, please refer to the item descriptions in game.
  
• Try asking questions in chat group “Lunar Halo Inn” by going to (New) Menu (ESC) > Community > Chat Group and get answers from other adventurers!

Old Moon Costume Coupon, the new addition to the Winter Season can be used to exchange with the Black Spirit to get an Old Moon Costume Box (Valor), or Old Moon Costume Box (Viper), or an Old Moon Costume Box (Swiftness).
Note you can heat the costumes obtained to get Ancient Spirit's Crystals as well.

• Open Old Moon Costume Box (Valor) to get a costume suitable for your class:

Male Classes = Delphe Knight Armor (Costume)


Female Classes = Ahon Kirus Armor (Costume)


Shai = Florin Herb Gatherer Clothes (Costume)


Open Old Moon Costume Box (Viper) to get a costume suitable for your class:

Male Classes = Jordine's Casual Wear (Costume)

Male Classes = Serendia Formal Suit (Costume)


Female Classes = Terrmian Casual Wear (Costume)


Shai = Kanna's Naga Disguise (Costume)




As with the previous seasons, Season Characters will need to use season-exclusive Tuvala gear.

The Naru gear first introduced in the Autumn season was slightly weaker than Tuvala gear, but they can be obtained during your adventures from Balenos to Mediah.
Naru gear can also be enhanced with Beginner Black Stones and allow you to reach higher enhancement levels more easily compared to enhancing Tuvala gear.

How far did you get with enhancing Naru gear last time? If you want to aim higher this season, run over to <Crow Merchants Guild Chief Manager> Fughar now!

Show Fughar a Naru gear enhanced up to PEN (V) level and he will upgrade it to a Tuvala gear of PRI (I) level (of the same gear part) for you!

Don't forget Naru gear and Beginner Black Stones can be obtained in regular servers as well!






When you graduate, you can obtain a total of 13 Tuvala Conversion Stones which matches a full set of gear that allows you to convert the season-exclusive Tuvala gear to normal gear.
Keep in mind that using the Tuvala Conversion Stone will result in items that can no longer be enhanced.
Beware! Each Conversion Stone can only convert one Tuvala item. That’s why you need to be careful when choosing which Tuvala gear to convert for each gear slot! You don’t want to regret accidently converting a TET (IV) Tuvala Helmet instead of a PEN (V) one...
The converted Tuvala gear will retain their “Item Branding”, “PEN (V) Creator Name”, and “Transfused Crystals”.

Lastly, the converted Tuvala gear will be changed to Family bound and can be moved to and equipped by regular characters.


You can use the [Season] Boss Gear Exchange Coupon you acquire during graduation on a converted Tuvala gear to exchange it for a Boss gear. However, you cannot use Tuvala gear which has a crystal inserted via transfusion for Boss gear exchange.
Only one [Season] Boss Gear Exchange Coupon is given per Family and since you can convert only one of your Tuvala gear parts into a Boss gear, be careful before making the selection!
Tuvala gear used for [Season] Boss Gear Exchange Coupon must be between PRI (I) and PEN (V).

Here are the boss gear that can be exchanged from a Tuvala gear using the [Season] Boss Gear Exchange Coupon.



When you exchange a Tuvala gear for a Boss gear, it decreases the enhancement level by one.
Please refer to the table below for details.



Boss gear received via [Season] Boss Gear Exchange Coupon will become Family bound and cannot be registered on the Central Market, but are available for enhancement and Caphras enhancement.


The Gift Box Full of Memories containing many beneficial items and conversion items for graduation will be offered once again for the Winter Season.
For Summer Season, PEN (V) Capotia accessories were offered and for Autumn Season, the Perilla's Star.
For winter season, the PEN (V): Capotia Belt as Winter Season's special reward. The special reward can be exchanged for "Season Special Gift Exchange Coupon," which can be used after graduating the Winter Season.

  • ※ If your mount's mastery of the skill is too low, there's a chance that your mount will fail using Auto Sprint during Auto-run.

[/list]

• Your Training Mastery needs to be Artisan Lv. 1 or higher to use Auto Sprint while using Auto-run on a mount.
• Added increased speed when equipping a riding crop while using Auto Sprint during Auto-run.
  
  • * Riding crops will increase speed for Auto Sprint as following:

We had previously introduced increased auto-sail speed through BreezySail for ships but all of our land-based mounts didn't have these functions even though they've been around for longer than ships. There were more obstacles existing on land than water so auto-run wasn't always the most convenient option. However, due to many of our adventurers requesting this function time and time again, we felt that we shouldn't delay the Auto Sprint any longer. We sincerely hope for the day to come when adventurers can freely move about without getting stuck between obstacles!

• A mystical fish only observed in ancient records have been sighted in the seas.
  
  • These mystical fishes are so difficult to catch that people believed "the fish chose the fisher." Only fishers of great experience and skill may have a chance to fish up this fish.
    
  • The mystical fish never travels in groups but, according to rumors, they have mysterious powers to shake the heaven and the earth if they are ever to come together. Some ancient records tell the story of fallen nations due to the mystical fish but none have been confirmed.
    
  • The chance to fish up a Mystical Fish is extremely low, but if you can catch a bunch of them, it is said that you will bring about a big change to the world of Black Desert.
    
  • Only adventurers with Fishing at Guru or higher level can catch the Mystical Fish.
    
  • You can only catch the Mystical Fish with a regular fishing rod. It may not be caught using a harpoon.

  • Use Alt+F1 or LMB the speech bubble icon to use Officers chat.

If there was something important to talk about on guild management and it was an inconvenience to whisper all the time, then this update should come as good news for you. Through the Officers chat group, Guild Officer rank or higher can now talk privately with other officers in the guild. We hope you enjoy the update!

Greetings Adventurers,

Since its launch in March 2016, it’s been our privilege to share your adventures in Black Desert Online but it is now time for Kakao Games’ part in this to come to an end. As of February 24th 2021 Kakao Games will cease service and it will become the responsibility of the developers, Pearl Abyss.

Many great memories have been forged over the last five years and we have the utmost confidence that many more will be created as the service continues under their management. The finer details of the handover are still being established so we will be sure to keep you informed on the process as the final date draws closer. We can already inform you that in order to comply with data protection practices there will be an opt-in process to have your game data transferred that will begin on January the 27th 2021. Exact details will be announced soon, but this will be mandatory if you wish to continue playing the game.

Be assured that we are fully committed to a smooth transition with as little disruption to you as possible, and your enjoyment and progress in the game will be unaffected. For now, nothing will change immediately, the game will be updated and as new content gets added we will continue striving to make your experience in Black Desert Online the best it can be.

You can find an FAQ on our support pages which we will keep updated as and when new information becomes available. We will also make sure you are informed through all of our usual channels, so please keep an eye out for news.

It’s been an amazing journey and one that we are extremely proud to have been a part of over the last five years but now we look forward to the next chapter in Black Desert Online and sharing our own journey with you in future Kakao Games titles.
