Atoraxxion is Black Desert’s first-ever co-op dungeon. What secrets await you in this massive, ancient stronghold?
Find out on July 21!
Before it arrives, let’s find out how you can get ready for Atoraxxion!
Atoraxxion has its own exclusive main questline, which offers an extensive story. (Just what is Illezra planning?!)
But the first thing you’ll need to do before you can delve into Atoraxxion is get a party of five Adventurers!
In order to complete Atoraxxion’s main questline, you’ll need to cooperate with four other Adventurers. Additionally, you and your four other party members must fulfill the requirements below to accept its main questline!
The “Invitation from I” quest is available after the July 14 update, so make sure to complete the quest ahead of time to jump right into Atoraxxion when it releases!
* More information about the “Invitation from I” quest can be found in the July 14 patch notes.
You should also be aware that while Atoraxxion is a co-op dungeon, the areas other than the party exclusive boss zones are open-field combat zones similar to monster zones, where you can encounter other Adventurers.
And if you haven't done so already, don't miss the Atoraxxion Dev Commentary video to learn more about its lore and features.
* For more details about the actual in-game content, please refer to the upcoming July 21 patch notes.
Following the 2020 Spring, Summer, and Winter seasons, comes the advent of the 2021 Summer Season! Kick off the first season with Corsair, the newest class to debut on Black Desert this June 29!
This season is sure to bring a wave of excitement to all Black Desert Adventurers, whether you are a rookie or a veteran Adventurer! (๑>ᴗ<๑)
But what lies in store for the 2021 Summer Season? What’s new? What’s different?
Check out the GM Note to find out more!
For those of you who are unfamiliar with season servers in general, have no fear! The [Adventurer’s Guide] Season FAQ will explain the basics of the season servers!
1. How to Create a Season Character
Once you’ve logged into Black Desert, go to the Character Selection screen and press the [+] button to see all of Black Desert’s many classes. If you want to learn more about each class, make sure to check out the [Class Introductions]! Have you figured out which class you want to play? If so, once you’ve customized the character to your liking and decided on a character name, check the “Season Character” checkbox and click Create! Now you’ve successfully created a season character! (You can only make one season character per season!)
2. Season Character and Server Perks
Season characters and servers have a lot of perks! Let’s learn about them below.
■ Season Character Perks
First off, season characters receive special level up rewards every time they reach a certain level. The 2021 Summer Season offers a variety of rewards, including Adventurer Shoes and enhancement materials, that will help you progress and get even more rewards!
If you want to learn more about the Season Character Level Up rewards, check out the [Event] Season Server Level Up Rewards event page. And what if you are playing the Corsair class as your season character? Then, check out the [Event] Ahoy! Thar She Levels! event page to find out what rewards you can get as well!
■ Season Server Perks
The Season Servers are special servers that can only be accessed by Season Characters. Additionally, these servers are only available for a limited period of time. As these servers are focused on character progression, they offer 24/7 EXP buffs without limitations on character levels.
The Combat EXP +250% and Skill EXP +50% buff will be active 24/7 from June 29, 2021 (Tue) after maintenance – July 14, 2021 (Wed) before maintenance!
Every time you reach a certain level or achieve a certain requirement, you will obtain a Leveling Aid Box for each level. Not only will there be the Combat/Skill EXP buffs, but there are also Time-filled Black Stones and Inventory Expansion Coupons!
All these perks are intended to boost your character progression!
■ Season Pass
The Season Pass can be accessed from the Black Spirit button at the left of the minimap. This Season Pass is meant to support our Adventurers as they progress in the season and is only available to season characters.
Make sure to get all the Challenge rewards in the Season Pass as they will definitely aid your character progression! Check out the [Event] Season Pass notice for more information about the Challenges and rewards!
* If you progress through the simplified main questline, you can talk to the Black Spirit to receive the “Normal Season Pass” rewards after completing a quest.
■ Season Exclusive Tuvala Gear
Tuvala Gear is a special kind of equipment that can only be equipped by season characters! There are two main ways to obtain Tuvala Gear.
In order to enhance the Tuvala Gear, you will need the following enhancement materials: Time-filled Black Stones, Tuvala Ore, and Refined Magical Black Stone. You can obtain these enhancement materials from various sources, which include monster zones, the Season Pass, and more.
■ Season Graduation Rewards
Adventurers who have finished their journey in the summer season servers can expect a special reward to prepare them for the normal servers!
Once you graduate, you’ll receive one of the items below through a Season Special Gift Exchange Coupon. (You can only receive each special reward once per Family. If you’ve claimed it before, you can’t receive it again!)
* Adventurers who missed out on a previous season reward can select it and exchange for it this time around!
Upon graduating, you can open the Gift Box Full of Memories to receive a variety of items, including Cron Stones, Advice of Valks, and Secret Book of Old Moon, that will help you in your adventures on the normal servers. However, make sure you pay close attention to the [Season] Boss Gear Exchange Coupon that you can also obtain!
If you use the Exchange Coupon, you can exchange a single piece of PRI (I) - PEN (V) Tuvala Gear for Boss Gear. The Boss Gear you exchange for will be one enhancement level lower than the Tuvala Gear you exchanged. E.g.) PEN (V) Tuvala Armor → TET (IV) Dim Tree Spirit’s Armor The exchanged Boss Gear is bound to your Family. It can be enhanced with Caphras Stone and even be made into Fallen God’s Armor. However, the Boss Gear cannot be listed on the Central Market.
3. What’s Different in the 2021 Summer Season
We’ve heard all kinds of feedback and suggestions from Adventurers who enjoyed the previous Spring, Summer, and Winter Seasons. So, shall we see what’s new and different in the 2021 Summer Season?
■ Simplified Main Questline (Existing Adventurers)
We’ve added a new “Simplified Main Questline” for our existing Adventurers. * You can progress through the simplified main questline with a summer season character only once per Family. * The simplified main questline will only be available while the season servers are active and will disappear once the season ends.
Adventurers who fulfill all the requirements and have completed the main questline up ‘till “The Sage of Velia” can accept the [Special Growth] Birth of a Prestigious Family quest from the NPC Alustin in Velia.
If you’ve completed the final quest of the Balenos main questline, Embarking on an Adventure, you will no longer be able to accept the [Special Growth] Birth of a Prestigious Family quest. Thus, you will no longer be able to do the simplified main questline, so make sure to check in with the NPC Alustin beforehand!
■ Season Character Transfer System
What if you created your season character as Class A, but now want to enjoy the season with Class B...?
Don’t worry! Because in the 2021 Summer Season, there is a new Season Character Transfer System that allows you to use “Fughar’s Timepiece” to transfer your season character status and Combat/Skill EXP!
* Warning! Quests that are in progress or completed on Class A will not be transferred to Class B!
Also, the Class B character that you wish to transfer the season character status to must be Lv. 25 or lower to be transferrable. (Class A must be connected to a normal server with all their gear unequipped.)
Once you’ve used Fughar’s Timepiece, you will receive three exchange coupons (Tuvala Main Weapon Exchange Coupon, Tuvala Sub-weapon Exchange Coupon, and Tuvala Awakening Exchange Coupon) in the transferred character’s inventory after you’ve gone to the Character Selection screen. Use these coupons to change your Tuvala weapons to ones that are suitable for Class B!
■ Party Monster Zones
Did you start the Summer Season with guildmates or friends?
In this season, three areas were changed to “Party Monster Zones.” (Normal and season servers!) Take this chance to party up with your friends and stack up loot together! * Once the Summer Season ends, these monster zones will revert back to their original state.
You’re now ready to head off to the Season Servers!

During the June 23rd (Wed) maintenance, Black Desert's Steam App ID for Thailand, Southeast Asia, Russia, Turkey & MENA was unified.
We previously announced https://steamcommunity.com/games/582660/announcements/detail/3010074906613570682 that Adventurers would be able to play the game without any additional actions after the Steam App ID unification. However, we discovered that certain Adventurers who accessed Black Desert before the maintenance needed to reinstall the client.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by our previously mistaken announcement.
As a result, Adventurers of the Thailand, Southeast Asia, Russia, Turkey & MENA service who previously purchased a package that included a game pass from the Steam Store and accessed the game before the Steam App ID unification were sent a Value Pack (15 Days) as compensation. You can find the Value Pack in your Steam Web Storage.
We will do our best to prevent any further inconveniences from the Steam App ID unification.
We will be performing a scheduled maintenance for Black Desert Online on June 23, 2021 in order to improve our services and bring you the latest updates.

We appreciate your patience and support while we work on providing you with better services. Thank you!
First off, thank you to all our Adventurers who enjoy playing Black Desert through the Steam platform. We want to announce that the separately managed (depending on service region), Black Desert and Black Desert Online, Steam titles will be unified into a singular Black Desert title during the maintenance on June 23 (Wed).
Once this happens, Adventurers in North America, Europe, Russia, Turkey & MENA, Thailand, and the Southeast Asia regions will be able to play Black Desert under one Steam Store page, and freely discuss and share their thoughts in one community.
Please note that the unification of Steam App ID does not mean that the game servers are being unified; you will still be playing on your existing region’s server after this change.
After the maintenance on June 23, (Wed), you will no longer see the title as Black Desert Online in your Steam Library, but as Black Desert instead.
All you have to do is select the new Black Desert title, and you’ll be able to play on your usual server as same as before.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact us at Customer Support.
