Greetings Adventurers,

Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on September 21, 2022 (Wed).

We've added a new appearance for the Mythical Arduanatt. We designed it around a "pure white" concept, and you need only purchase and feed the Quturan's Fruit to your mythical steed to change its appearance. While we initially thought of a more arduous process to obtain this appearance, we felt that the process of awakening a Mythical Arduanatt was rigorous enough, so we felt it only fair to have a far simpler process when changing its appearance. We hope this new appearance only bolsters the experience of Adventurers who have already awakened a Mythical Arduanatt in their adventures.

We're currently working on Mythical Doom, and while we initially thought of a horse with blue flames, we felt it somewhat unimpactful compared to the already released mythical counterparts, so... we felt that we had a bit more work to do to prepare for Mythical Doom's explosive release. Thank you for your patience.

● Added Quturan's Fruit to now be available for purchase through Francia, librarian of O'dyllita, who requested these through Helen Julia, the Ahib scholar on Krogdalo.
- Feed the Quturan's Fruit to your stabled Mythical Arduanatt and it shall be reborn with a new appearance and all previous skills and stats intact.
- You can purchase the Quturan's Fruit for 100 million Silver each via Franica in O'dyllita.            
* You can change your Mythical Arduanatt's basic appearance to the new appearance by using the Quturan's Fruit.

Krogdalo, King of the Celestial Horses, has granted his blessing upon the world of Black Desert, thus greatly improving the tiers and breeds of horses roaming in the wild.

You will no longer be able to tame Tier 1 to 5 Wild Horses as they've all been improved to Tiers 6 and 7, and these Tier 7 Wild Horses will also boast a special appearance that will make them easy to distinguish from other horses.

We've also added 4 types of Tier 8 horses. While retaining the same stats as pre-existing white and black breeds, since Tier 1 to 5 Wild Horse appearances are no longer available, we've made these types now available as Tier 8 horses so Adventurers may still have access to them.

● Increased the chance of birthing higher tiers of horses from breeding Tier 1 to 8 horses.
* The tiers and growth levels of the parent horses will affect the new horse birthed from breeding. The higher the parent horse levels (up to Lv. 30), the greater the chance of birthing a higher-tiered horse.

For example,
Breeding Lv. 30 Tier 6 stallion and mare now have increased chances to birth a Tier 7 or 8 horse.
Breeding Lv. 30 Tier 7 stallion and mare now have increased chances to birth a Tier 7 or 8 horse.
Breeding Lv. 30 Tier 8 stallion and mare now have an increased chance to birth a Tier 8 horse.

● Changed the minimum and maximum tiers of Wild Horses in the world of Black Desert.

- Tier 7 Wild Horses will be somewhat rare to find, with a slightly higher chance of appearing in Drieghan.

▲ Added Tier 7 Wild Horse Type

● Added 4 new types of Tier 8 Horse.


▲ 2 Added Tier 8 Horse Types

Krogdalo's blessing has also been imparted to horse trainers as well. Now Adventurers will receive up to 75% increased Mount EXP (previously up to 40%) based on their Training Mastery. We've also increased the value of horses as well. Now Tier 1 to 8 horses will fetch slightly higher prices from Imperial Delivery and Horse Market.

● Increased Mount EXP gains from Training Mastery from up to 40% to up to 75%.



● Increased the prices of Tier 1 to 8 horses on the Horse Market and Imperial Delivery (sold).
- Made the following price adjustments according to the horse's level and number of skills learned.

* The price of your mount varies based on its growth level and the number of skills learned for the Horse Market, Breeding Market, or Imperial Delivery (sold). A courser with all courser skills learned will now fetch a 2.7 times greater price on the Horse Market.


● Added Training EXP Increase effect to Manos, Izaro, and Loggia Trainer's Clothes from +8 enhancement levels.
* Loggia Trainer's Clothes


* Izaro Trainer's Clothes


* Manos Trainer's Clothes

We've added new leap quests for Training. Similar to leap quests for other Life Skills, these require that you reach a certain Life Skill level to accept each quest, and they will grant a large amount of Training EXP upon completion. We've also added "Family leap quests" available once per Family once you've completed these quests, in the spirit of relishing in Krogdalo's blessing. Complete these Family quests to obtain a skill change coupon, a Premium Horse Appearance Change Coupon, and other goodies to help you on your path to becoming the best Trainer.

Greetings Adventurers,

Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on September 7, 2022 (Wed).

With this update, we added the "Traveler's Horse," a time-limited rideable horse we previous introduced as the "Untamed Horse." If you don't have a horse taken out and/or have checked in your horse in the stable, you will be able to borrow the Traveler’s Horse by talking to a Stable Keeper NPC in town. This horse has the Start Accel, Sprint, Drift, and Instant Accel skills, and you won't have to return the horse as it will return by itself to the nearest stable when you dismount. We hope that all of our Adventurers, both veteran and new, will find this newly added mount useful in their travels.

● The Old Moon Guild, who manages all the stables in Black Desert, has added the "Traveler's Horse" to the Stable Keepers in town for the sake of Adventurers' ease of travel.


● You can borrow a Traveler's Horse by talking to the following Stable Keepers:


● Traveler's Horse has the following skills:
- Start Accel, Sprint, Drift, Instant Accel (Skill Training 100%)
● Only one Traveler's Horse can be borrowed and no additional horse can be borrowed while another horse is taken out.
● Please note that Traveler's Horse will return to the nearest Stable after 5 minutes of being dismounted.
● The Traveler's Horse cannot equip horse gear, but it can still Sprint without a saddle.
● Traveler's Horse cannot use Stable Recovery / Remote Collection / Horse Market / Imperial Delivery / Sell function (but the Mount Information window can be checked).
● Traveler's Horse will return to a Stable when clicking on Disconnect, Character Selection, or Change Character.

We've improved on the damage, effects, and combos for Kunai Stab in Succession. Now the Fatal Blow - Flow: Fatal Blow Combo - Kunai Stab combo will be more efficient thanks to the added Stamina recovery effect, making it more viable in PvE.

Just as Awakening Drakania's uniqueness becomes more apparent the better you become at utilizing the correct skill at the right moment, we decided to implement both big and small improvements to her combos. Also, to reduce some of her clunkiness, we increased the activation speed and attack area of certain Dragonblood skills.

● Flow: Dragon Flight
- Changed Stamina cost from 250 to 100 and consumes 150 Stamina (up to 450) when continuing the skill.

● Added the following items to the item list that can be automatically used via Radiant Fairy's Continuous Care.

'We decided to clean up the buff icon UI by unifying certain buffs, like "church buffs" which displayed 2 or more buff icons, in a similar manner as we did with campsite buffs. We will continue looking at ways to improve the buff icon UI, particularly the feedback given to us by many Adventurers on unifying buffs that grant similar effects. Additionally, we improved the buff icons of buffs, like the one for "Book of Combat", to be more intuitive.

● Improved buffs that took up 2 or more icons to now only take up 1.

Greetings Adventurers,

Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on August 31, 2022 (Wed).

Marni's Realm is now available for both Hystria Ruins and Aakman Temple. Both monster zones require a slightly different method of entry, as you cannot navigate in the desert. Therefore, you will first have to find your way into these monster zones and go to the designated location to enter "Marni's Realm." (We have designated the two most preferred locations in both monster zones as the point of entry. Please refer to the screenshot below.)

● Applied the following changes to Marni's Realm:
- "Aakman Temple" and "Hystria Ruins" have been added as Marni's Realm-supported monster zones.

Marni's Realm - Aakman Temple



Marni's Realm - Hystria Ruins

This update brings about quality of life improvements and balancing to building siege weapons and annexes during Node and Conquest Wars. First off, you'll be able to change the highlight color of other guild names, thus making it easier to discern between friend or foe. In addition, for more convenient installation of forts or annexes, we reduced the construction time to 1 second and adjusted the types of terrain required for construction as well. With the remote construction function added prior, we hope this update's additions also serve to be useful for our Node and Conquest War engineers. Last but not least, we made Node and Conquest War forts, command posts, and annexes a bit sturdier, making them slightly more impervious to normal attacks so these buildings wouldn't be destroyed too quickly. However, we also increased the damage of elephants and the ballista to retain the destructive power of siege weapons as well.

● Added the function to designate the highlighted color of guilds in Node and Conquest Wars.
- The button to designate guild colors can be found in the Guild window under the Occupying Area tab.
- You will need to be of Guild Officer rank or higher to change these colors once a Node/Conquest War has begun.
- For Node Wars, a temporary name will be displayed in the Set Node/Conquest War Guild Colors UI. Once you discover a fort in-game, the participating guild's name will be displayed.
- A system and chat alert will display the name of the guild member when they change the color settings.
- There is a 1-minute cooldown to change these colors.
- All guilds under one alliance will be designated under a single color.


● Changed so the number of installed forts on the World Map (M) are now displayed an hour before Node/Conquest War begins.
● Improved so you can use hotkeys (1 to 0) to install annexes with the construction tools during Node/Conquest War.
● Improved so you can check War Installation Info when using annex construction tools in the Node/Conquest War.
● Changed the installation time for Fort/Command Post/Field HQ and all annex buildings from 15 to 1 second while Node/Conquest War is not underway.
- Installation time still remains 15 seconds when a Node/Conquest War is underway.


● Adjusted the terrain requirements for installing Fort/Command Post/Field HQ and all annex buildings for Node/Conquest Wars.
- You can now install structures even on terrain with a slight incline. Terrain that are too steep are still excluded from installation.
※ The bottom portion of structures will appear differently based on the installed terrain.  
[IMAGE]

● Changed the maximum durability of forts and command posts for Node/Conquest War.

- [Conquest] Command Post: durability +20%

- Recovery Center (Tier 4): durability +10%, DP +14.2%
- Recovery Center (Conquest): durability +10%, DP +28.5%

● Changed the maximum durability of supply depots for Node/Conquest War.
- Supply Depot (Tier 1): durability +15%
- Supply Depot (Tier 2): durability +15%
- Supply Depot (Tier 3): durability +15%
- Supply Depot (Tier 4): durability +15%
- Supply Depot (Conquest): durability +15%

● Changed the maximum durability and DP of elephant nurseries for Node/Conquest War.
- Elephant Nursery (Tier 1): durability +10%
- Elephant Nursery (Tier 2): durability +10%, DP +25%

Improvements on the Auto-run feature showcased through Global Lab will be applied. 
Previously, players were guided in the safest route possible to ensure no significant threats occurred on their adventure, and this sometimes meant the long way around was taken. To minimize these aspects, players will now be taken to a more efficient route. The issue of obstacles not being detected, and players simply being guided in a straight line, has also been improved.
