[Similar to the "[Season] region quests" which helped season characters with their progression, we've added the following region quests to normal servers to help our Adventurers continue their progression beyond season graduating.● Added region quests that are available in the following monster zones:
Drakania’s Awakening is finally released for all regions on July 27, 2022.Drakania Awakening – Primary Skills
Unlike other classes, we began developing her Awakening after her Succession. This was rather a bold and new decision on our end, and we are finally glad to be able to reveal the news of her release to all of our Adventurers who’ve waited with great anticipation. We hope you enjoy her Awakening form.
To go into greater detail regarding her development process, our primary focus was to introduce new combat mechanics that allow Drakania to perform quite differently in Awakening compared to her Succession. Since she is dual-wielding spears, we wanted her movements to feel more primal, and we focused on a “stance dancing” mechanic that emphasized manual control of the class with precise timing of skills.
Drakania’s Hexeblood form is focused on swift and relentless attacks that chain together to overwhelm opponents, while Dragonblood is a more heavy-hitting form. You may initially feel slightly overwhelmed by the different variations of certain skills available in both forms. The basic animations for the skills are similar, so we felt that once Adventurers grow accustomed to these differences. Along with the “stance dancing” mechanic (which can also automatically activate after certain skills), we will see more and more Drakania Adventurers maneuver between forms with relative ease. (Of course, since her Awakening was designed to be so conceptually different from previous classes, we do expect it will take some time for Adventurers to get used to as it may appear very complex at first glance. We hope you’ll take the time to see her true ability shine.)
Thank you.
Mad Scientist Marni's latest invention is already making waves, literally. Introducing, the "Marniwave!"● Added the Marniwave, a music player for listening to a variety of background music in Black Desert.
The Marniwave is our answer to all the feedback we received requesting for music to listen to while mounted. Now Adventurers will be able to turn on the Marniwave while riding most mounts (including ships) and choose from a variety of music to best match your tastes. You can also set the Marniwave to turn on automatically each time you mount up as well. The music channels of the Marniwave include Adventurer-favorite "horse music" along with several new additions. We plan on adding more and more songs to these channels in future updates.
While adventuring out in the world of Black Desert, you will come across a diverse range of locations that can be wonderous or frightening, warm or freezing cold. At times, thunder and lightning strikes, warning of the imminent rain soon to come. We hope that the addition of the Marniwave will compliment those unique moments so they can be better savored by our Adventurers. Thank you.
Family Fame constitutes of a daily Silver reward that grows as you continue your adventure in the world of Black Desert by increasing your combat prowess, life skills, knowledge (energy), and contribution points.● Increased the amount of Silver obtained daily via in-game mail from your Family Fame.
Thanks to the past update where we increased the Item Drop Rate buff granted by your Family Fame, a greater number of Adventurers showed interest in Family Fame. Considering the current state of game balance, we decided to increase the funds rewarded by Family Fame, particularly to increase in greater numbers in lower levels.
We seek to change how you can obtain Mythical Feathers. First off, we will be removing the complicated means of obtaining them from the Old Moon Grand Prix and adding a new weekly quest to obtain them instead. We also increased the amount of Royal Fern Roots, which are used to craft Mythical Powders, obtained through daily quests as well.● Added the following weekly quests where you can get Stonetail Horse Ranch essentials from Wapra at Stonetail Horse Ranch.
Mythical Arduanatt and Mythical Diné were originally designed as slightly difficult and challenging content not everyone could attempt at once. While most Adventurers were understanding of this intention, we've still received much feedback regarding the higher level of difficulty. We admit that we took a bit of time to find the right response, but we promise to keep looking for additional ways for our Adventurers to better obtain all relevant materials (including Royal Fern Roots).
Thanks to the persistent requests of some of our Adventurers, you can now earn the once season-exclusive title "Island Hopper." We've added a tale of Lorenzo Murray's unrequited love. We hope this questline helps cool down the warm summer heat, as it will take you through the refreshing views along the waters of the coast.● Added a new questline to obtain the "Island Hopper" title once exclusively awarded by completing "[Season] Great Pioneer's Footsteps."
We have added a Location Snapshot function to the World Map to make it more convenient for adventurers who frequently reference certain locations on their map. In particular, it can be useful when browsing information displayed on the World Map outside of major cities such as Bartering or Node Management sites. We hope this minor improvement will make a meaningful impact on your experience.● Added a function which you can snapshot your favorite locations on the World Map and easily pan the camera to them.
As various classes and regions have been released, the world of Black Desert has grown much broader. To make it easier for Adventurers to check the locations of items wherever they may be in the world, we have added the “Find My Item” function.● Added the Find My Item function.
This function allows Adventurers to simultaneously search across their Family’s Storage, Central Market warehouse, inventories, equipped gear, etc. all at once.
This function can be found from the ESC menu or with the search button in your Storage. We hope this adds convenience to your adventures.
Today's update brings about several changes to Hashshin for PvP. The main reason for this was to strengthen the unique traits of his Succession.● Hourglass of Defiance (I to III)
First off, we've bolstered the "assassin"-like PvP playstyle which utilizes sand tornados. We added a Succession-only version of Hourglass of Defiance, and Arid Assault will now automatically save your character's current location whenever it's used, thus allowing you to return to the saved location by pressing the F key. (You will still be able to manually save the return location as before as well.) Also, whenever you return to a saved location, you will activate Rupture's explosive damage, and using Arid Assault will create sand tornados in the location the skill was used, creating more opportunities to confuse your foes.
We've also administered slight changes to his defensive effects as well.
First, Prime: Dune Slash attacks no longer apply the Forward Guard effect, which was moved to now apply before the attack motion of the more popular Prime: Aal's Dominion. Quicksand's last attack will now only apply the Knockdown effect for PvE, while Piercing Tornado will now gain the Super Armor effect during use, thus allowing for safer openings with the skill. Chosen Blade will no longer apply Stiffness but also gains Super Armor to help create safer combo opportunities.
Lastly, we've applied changes to dealing and taking damage.
Hashashin was, on average, the class with the lowest damage ratio compared to other classes. Therefore, the better geared you were, the sturdier you became thanks to Evasion Rate increase buffs from skills (Sand Warp) and passives. This made us very wary of increasing Hashashin's AP or Accuracy altogether. However, many of our Hashashin Adventurers gave us vocal feedback to improve the class's offensive capabilities, so we decided to make adjustments accordingly. In conclusion, what we came up with was to amplify the Hashashin's utility via the sand tornado mechanic, improve some of his defensive effects and PvP damage, and in return, the Hashashin's incoming damage ratio taken when attacked by other classes was increased by approximately 3.25% on average.
We’ve added a chance of obtaining greater amounts of loot when Gathering.● Added items to obtain Fairy Breath through Lumbering, Skinning, Extracting, Hoe, Mining, Water Scooping, Butchering.
You can now gain additional “Fairy’s Breath” from Gathering loot which can be exchanged for Contribution or Gathering EXP, like Cooking or Alchemy Byproducts, or for Hard Black Crystal Shards or Sharp Black Crystal Shards.
Additionally, you may stumble upon buried chests while Gathering which you can open with a Gold Key to obtain additional loot.
Oh, right! The Gold Bars!● Changed the item that is needed when you receive a buff of 120 minutes that can be obtained by exchanging a gold bar to an NPC.
Gold Bar buffs have already been improved once in the previous update. Even now, the act of handing over the Gold Bar to receive the buff was symbolic, like a ritual to receive a blessing.
In this update, we have changed so that adventurers can receive blessings directly with Silver for greater convenience.
But... what would you like this buff to be called?
The Gold Buff of the Ol' Days? The Shiny Silver Buff? We look forward to your awesome ideas.
The Track Monster function can be used to obtain "Knowledge" among other thing. However, creatures could only be tracked individually or by category until now. We have improved it so that up to 20 creatures can be selected for simultaneous tracking. We hope this makes the feature more useful for our Adventurers.● Applied the following changes to Track Monsters function in Knowledge (H):
To celebrate Black Desert being serviced in all regions, your longtime companion, the Black Spirit, has prepared a special gift for the occasion with the "Blood-eyed Visor" and "Blood-eyed Earrings!"● Added Event quests available through the Black Spirit (/) to obtain the "Blood-eyed Visor" and "Blood-eyed Earrings."
We'd like to thank all of our Adventurers for enjoying Black Desert.
