Greetings, Adventurers.

As you may know, Season+ is coming to an end during the maintenance on Wednesday, December 1, 2021. That’s why we want to explain what will change with the end of Season+ in today’s announcement.

P.S. Stay tuned for the next Winter Season on December 22!




- All Season+ characters will be converted to “Normal Characters” during the maintenance on December 1.

Season+ Tuvala gear that have not been converted with conversion stones will be automatically converted and returned to Adventurers during the December 1 (Wed.) maintenance following the criteria below. (Tuvala gear for equipment slots that was already converted will not be sent to you.)



* Any Tuvala gear that is excluded by the criteria above will not be recoverable.

Happy adventuring! See you all in the Winter Season!

As Black Desert approaches its 4 years of live service since 2017, we want to first thank our Adventurers for your amazing support over all these years of weekly updates.

In 2021, we've continued to show our "labor of love" for Black Desert with weekly maintenances that introduce new in-game content and events, while revisiting older content with numerous updates and QoL improvements as well.

We've also implemented new technological improvements through AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution, allowing more Adventurers to experience the beautiful world of Black Desert with higher graphics and performance.

Of course, we're nowhere near finished in 2021, as we've recently been working hard to reboot 17 of our existing classes, and give our Adventurers worldwide a front-row seat to the future of Black Desert with the upcoming CalpheON Ball event.

And so, we're humbly asking for your support again in nominating us for the Labor of Love category in this year's Steam Awards!

▶ Vote Here: Steam Award Nominations

Be sure to claim this coupon that we prepared to show our appreciation for your support!


* Valid until: December 1, 2021 (Wed) 23:59

Are you an Adventurer who always wanted to really delve into decorating a home or garden? Maybe you’ve been disappointed at the lack of space or yard?

If so, we’re super excited to finally introduce you to the Blue Maned Lion's Manor! From chandeliers to fireplaces and even fountains, it’s a place where you can really unleash your inner home decorator!



If you follow the Demi River and head a little east, you’ll be able to see the manor in person.


▲ [GM] Heidel’s Spirit's Echo Contrabass and Florchestra Music Stand


▲ [GM] Nox’s Small Acacia Tree

Before you can start decorating, let’s learn more about the Blue Maned Lion's Manor first.


Once you’ve completed the “Looking for Adventurers” or “[Boss] Witch of Horrors” in the main questline, you’ll be able to accept the “[Manor] Crucio Domongatt's Summon” quest from the Black Spirit.

From there, you'll follow another questline that will allow you to rent the Blue Maned Lion’s Manor. The questline itself is quite easy – all you need to do is visit NPCs and find some hidden objects that are nearby, so don’t let a questline scare you away!

After you’ve completed the questline, head to the Blue Maned Lion’s Manor, which is located near the Eastern Border. Once you arrive, just approach the door and you’ll see an option to purchase it for five Contribution Points.

* The Contribution Points will be returned when you release ownership of the manor.

Manor Requirements

- Five Contribution Points

- Daily Rental Fee: 1,000,000 Silver (Discounted Depending on Number of Days Rented)

Once you’ve provided the Contribution Points, press “R” to open the door and view the contract below.



Select the gear-shaped icon to set the contract period from 1 to 365 days. If you sign the contract for a period longer than 30 days, you can get a discount!

You might be wondering what happens to your furniture once the contract period ends. Don’t worry, your furniture will remain even if the contract expires. If you forfeit the manor at its entrance, your furniture will be returned to your Heidel Storage.



Adventurers, we hope you’ll enjoy decorating the Blue Maned Lion's Manor!

---

Q. How is the Manor (Blue Maned Lion’s Manor) different from existing residences?

Not only can you decorate the interior of the Blue Maned Lion’s Manor, but you can also decorate its outside yard and terraces. You can also use theexisting furniture for residences to decorate the inside of the manor. However, you’ll need manor-exclusive items to decorate outside the manor.


Q. Can I invite my friends to my manor?

A. Of course! Friends, guild members, and party members are free to visit your manor via the “Visit” option. Make sure to invite them to show off your decorating skills!


Q. How do you make furniture that can be installed in the manor?

Manor furniture and exterior items can be obtained in a variety of ways such as through the Furniture Workshop, Processing (Manufacture), and quests. Directions on crafting grand set pieces like the Rearing Golden Horse Fountain and Flondor Pond can be found via [F2] - [Crafting Notes] as well. Later on, the instructions on obtaining manor furniture, sculpture, etc. will be added to the Adventurer’s Guide.

* Once the event boss appears, PvP will be disabled until the boss is defeated. However, be aware that PvP will be possible on the roads.

* The HP of the event boss is shared across all servers, and if the event boss is not defeated within 30 minutes after it appears, the boss will despawn.




① Before you can defeat Innocence Mk XII, you’ll first need to use the MOD Oog Mk III/VIII Transformation Scroll or MOD Mago Mk V Transformation Scroll and interact (R) with the summoned unit to control it.

- The Transformation Scroll’s summons have a skill that can be used to attack the Innocence Mk XIII.






▲ (First picture) Attacking! / (Second picture) Rock Skill!



② After transforming, use LMB/RMB to attack the Innocence Mk XII.
- You cannot attack the boss with a normal character’s skills.
- The Innocence Mk XII’s attacks will still hurt normal characters and mounts, so watch out!



③ The Innocence Mk XII will randomly deploy one of three attack patterns.
- If you successfully disrupt the Innocence Mk XII, the boss will lose power and fall down. (This is your time to attack!)
- If you fail to disrupt the Innocence Mk XII, the boss will unleash a merciless, large-scale skill. (Transformations will automatically end if you run out of stamina from taking damage, but you can still obtain loot as a normal character, so don’t worry!)

Pattern One - Rock, Paper, Scissors


In the Rock, Paper, Scissors attack pattern, the message “Warning. Warning.” will appear and the Innocence Mk XII will begin to prepare for Rock, Paper, Scissors. You’ll need to match the timing and use your transformed unit’s Rock, Paper, Scissors skill to beat the Innocence Mk XII!

[Majority of the Adventurers on the Server Beat the Innocence Mk XII at Rock, Paper, Scissors]: Disruption successful! The Innocence Mk XII will lose power and fall down.

[Majority of the Adventurers on the Server Lose to the Innocence Mk XII at Rock, Paper, Scissors]: Disruption unsuccessful! The Innocence Mk XII will use a devastating large-scale skill.

Pattern Two – Innocence Mk XI


In this attack pattern, the Innocence Mk XII will summon eight Innocence Mk XI to help it. In order to successfully disrupt the event boss, you’ll need to get close to an Innocence Mk XI and beat it in the Rock, Paper, Scissors.


[Beat the Innocence Mk XI at Rock, Paper, Scissors]: The Innocence Mk XI can now be defeated.

[Draw or Lose to the Innocence Mk XI at Rock, Paper, Scissors]: You’ll be attacked by the Innocence Mk XI.


If several Adventurers challenge the Innocence Mk XI at rock, paper, scissors, victory will only be decided if a majority of Adventurers win. Watch out if the majority loses or draws as the boss will unleash an attack!


The end goal is to defeat at least six of the eight Innocence MK XI!
[Defeat Six or More Innocence Mk XI]: Disruption successful! The Innocence Mk XII will lose power and fall down.

[Fail to Defeat Six or More Innocence Mk XI] Disruption unsuccessful! The Innocence Mk XII will use a devastating large-scale skill.

Pattern Three - Three-way Rock, Paper, or Scissors


In the third attack pattern, three different colors will indicate areas as either rock, paper, or scissors.


You’ll need to move to the area that you can beat with your transformation scroll’s skills and use the right skill (Q/E) to win. Keep in mind that the skills each transformation scroll has are different, so pay close attention to which area is which!

[Win at Rock, Paper, Scissors]: Disruption successful! You’ll be attacked and healed at the same time, so you won’t receive damage.

[Lose at Rock, Paper, Scissors] Disruption unsuccessful! You’ll be attacked and receive damage.

② Defeat the Innocence Mk 12 for a chance to obtain the following loot.

* The [Event] Innocence Mk XII Part can be sold to NPC Vendors for 100,000 silver.

③ Bring the [Event] Innocence Mk XII Parts to the NPC Lylina in Calpheon to exchange them for the following interior items.
