Global Lab Updates – 6th September 2024

Black Shrine (Party) Bosses

Black Shrine – Hwanghae (Party) has introduced new bosses: Dark Bonghwang and the Deposed Crown Prince.

Just like the existing bosses in Black Shrine – Hwanghae, these new additions come with their own unique challenges. Adventurers will need to devise new strategies to defeat them.

The Deposed Crown Prince, in particular, is expected to be a formidable challenge befitting the Hard difficulty.
Successfully defeating this boss will grant adventurer parties exclusive rewards.

Additionally, new items have been added that can be exchanged for tokens earned by defeating these bosses. One such item is the Bonghwang Statue, which can be crafted as furniture.

These new Boss Blitz bosses will be available for global adventurers with next week’s update.
As such, the weekly challenge attempts have also been increased by 1, allowing up to 5 attempts per week.

※ Please note that the boss “Cheoyong” in Black Shrine – Hwanghae requires further adjustments and will not be available this time. We are working to ensure it is well-prepared for future updates.

A boss that can be challenged through Black Shrine – Hwanghae (party) has been added.

Dark Bonghwang ‘The heat of the black phoenix, which symbolizes the morning and the sun, envelops the earth.’	Deposed Crown Prince His sword, which contains the power of the God of Creation and the Black Phoenix, cuts down even the moon in the sky.

[Story] Good Brother	*Rumors are spreading throughout Hwanghae Province that a strange incident occurred between brothers in Bukpo.* – No level limit

[Automatic Mount Summon]

The feature that summons your mount after completing a Main Quest is designed to help you conveniently move to the next quest location. However, there has been instances where mounts were called to dangerous places which caused inconveniences.

To allow Adventurers to focus more on the Main Quests, we’ve improved the system so that mounts will no longer be summoned in potentially dangerous areas, even after a Main Quest is completed.

When completing some main quests, the mount has been modified to not be automatically called in areas where the mount can be attacked by monsters.

The guidance on how to obtain knowledge of the Valencian character ‘Zovadi’ has been improved to be clearer.
- Directions have been added so that you can receive guidance from ‘Afuaru’ when you talk to ‘Jobadi’ when you do not have his knowledge.
- You can obtain the knowledge of ‘Jobadi’ by completing the ‘[Treasure of Valencia]’ series of quests that can be received from ‘Afuaru’.

The description of the items needed to explore the desert has been enhanced in the summary of the quest ‘[Treasures of Valencia] Beginning, Grave Robber’.
- In addition to the existing ‘Shabby Shovel’ item required to proceed with the quest, descriptions have been added for purified water and octagonal tea that can cure desert diseases.

[The Tale of Janghwa and Hongryeon] If you have not acquired the knowledge of ‘The Tale of Janghwa and Hongryun’ even though you completed the first quarterly quest of the story, ‘[The Tale of Janghwa and Hongryun] Dramatic Reunion’, the knowledge has been improved so that you can obtain the knowledge through conversation with the Black Spirit. .

The phenomenon in which certain knowledge could not be acquired among the knowledge in the ‘Hwanghae-do Folk Tale Journal I’ knowledge category has been corrected.
- This knowledge has been modified so that it can be obtained upon completing the quest ‘[Wanderer’s Tale] Dawn Removing the Darkness’.
  - If you have already completed the above quest, you can obtain the relevant knowledge through conversation with the Black Spirit.

Dehkia’s Lantern Changes

The icon for the trash loot that can be obtained from Dehkia’s Lantern Level 2 monster zone has been changed.
- Piece of Cloth of Encroached Wraith: →
- Fragment of Encroached Heart of the Colossus: →

Ash Forest [Dehkia’s Lantern II]

The issue where <Void Absorbed> Gyeras appeared late and quickly disappeared in certain situations has been fixed.

Olun’s Valley [Dehkia’s Lantern II]

The issue where monsters appearing in the Olun’s Valley [Dehkia’s Lantern II] hunting grounds occasionally chased long distances has been fixed.
Some terrain in the Bahit Sanctuary area, a hunting ground in Olun’s Valley [Dehkia’s Lantern II], has been modified so that it does not impede the character’s movement.

Background/NPC/Effects/Cutscene Changes

[Background, NPC, Effects, and Cutscenes]
The Seoryeon Corps’ Martial God Tournament has become even more lively and interactive with the additions of spectators’ voices. You can now chat with the numerous spectators gathered and find out whether they are rooting for certain players or just enjoying the atmosphere.

Lines have been added to characters in the Musinje region of Hwanghae, the land of the morning.

The road near Ulukita Territory Asperkan displayed on the world map (M) has been improved to be more clearly visible.
Torches have been added to prevent certain locations in the Calpheon capital from being too dark.

UI Changes

When you access Black Desert World through the character selection window or by changing characters, you will face the adventurer’s character looking at the screen. From now on, you will be faced with the surrounding UI in an invisible form so that you can build a little more intimacy with your character. Of course, you can come back ready to go on an adventure anywhere by typing on the keyboard or clicking the mouse, just like before.

The camera presentation has changed when first logging in.

When first logging in, the camera is now facing the character’s face in photo mode.
When I move the mouse, the camera moves and my character follows me.
This state can be exited with a keystroke or mouse click.
When the presentation status ends, a window such as a connection reward window will be displayed.

[Story Scenes]
When progressing with a class that has unfamiliar controls during story scenes, there were times when it was somewhat difficult to engage in combat due to skill unfamiliarity. Now, even if new adventurers are not so well versed in their classes skills, the “Guide Widget” will be displayed on the screen to help facilitate smoother combat.

The skill guide widget has been modified to display when fighting in Great Step.
- However, if the widget is disabled in UI editing, it will not be displayed.

[Gear Enhancement Tutorial]
As you continue your adventures through the Main Quests in the Serendia region, you will encounter slightly stronger monster, and receive Beginner Black Stones for gear enhancement. The Gear Enhancement Tutorial provided to new and returning adventurers helps you to continue on with your journey and progress even further.

For new and returning adventurers, a tutorial on strengthening equipment has been added.
- Upon completing the ‘[Serendia] Current Situation’ quest, you will receive instructions on strengthening your equipment.

Among the equipment sold at NPC stores, equipment that cannot be used has been improved to be displayed as unusable so that you can recognize it.

Bug Fixes

The issue where scrolling could not be done using the mouse in the crew information tab of the ship information UI has been fixed.
An issue where the team name was reset in the match settings UI when a teammate moved teams after changing the team name in Arsha’s Arena has been fixed.
The instructions for using the W/A/S/D keys in Solare’s Arena spectator mode have been removed.
After changing the operation key and shortcut key settings, the changed input key has been modified to be immediately displayed in the UI.
Abyss One: Vessel of the Abyss located inside Magnus: The issue where the symbol of Oquilla’s Eye was displayed in a different domain has been corrected.
An issue where the screen would intermittently become blurry after playing a cutscene has been fixed.

The issue where the maker’s name would disappear when removing the improved drinking glass item from the following accessories through the ‘Purified Drinking Glass’ quest has been fixed.
- Copper: Deboreka ring/earrings
- Bronze: Taebaek’s Belt
- Bronze: Sea Fog Ring
- Bronze: Asadal necklace/belt

The contents of the knowledge ‘The world where gods live’ and ‘Jigwi’ have been corrected.

The issue where the quest ‘[Cheongui-dong Dictionary] An Earnest Request’ could not be completed properly has been fixed.

Class Changes

Berseker

Black Spirit: Titan Blow

Fixed the issue where the attack power increase buff effect was not applied when using the Black Spirit: Titan Blow skill.

Tamer

For Tamer’s Succession, the damage of the Heuklang: Surging Tide skill in PvP was excessively high compared to other skills. To address this, we have adjusted the damage of Heuklang: Surging Tide and increased the damage of Heuklang: Throat-Burn, Heuklang: Roaring, and Heuklang: Whiplash.

The damage of the following skills while riding Heilang has been adjusted.

Skill name	Before change	After change
When learning Prime: Summon Heilang, Heilang: Surging Tide	5710% x 4, maximum 3 hits PvP damage reduction rate 42.5%	5710% x 4, maximum 3 hits PvP damage reduction rate 78.1%
When learning Prime: Summon Heilang, Heilang: Throat-Burn	7616% x 2 PvP damage reduction rate 63.9%	8806% x 2 PvP damage reduction rate 60%
When learning Prime: Summon Heilang, Heilang: Roaring	3662% x 5 PvP damage reduction rate 53.3%	5262% x 5 PvP damage reduction rate 61.9%
When learning Prime: Summon Heilang, Heilang: Whiplash	4500% x 1 PvP damage reduction rate 53%	5132% x 1 PvP damage reduction rate 50%

The issue where the number of hits for the second hit of the Heilang: Upward Claw skill while riding Heilang was abnormal has been corrected.

Witch, Wizard

As the monsters’ attacks have become stronger, there have been instances where summons like “Gorr/Tett” and “Arne/Marg” run out of HP during combat, causing inconvenience for adventurers playing as Witches and Wizards. To address this, we’ve doubled the HP of summons for these two classes to reduce the inconvenience caused by their deaths.

The maximum HP of Gorr, Tett, Arne, and Marg has been doubled compared to before.

Striker

Through the last update, the front guard effect was applied to the skill <Flow: Bombardment>, and the linkage was later changed to <Flow: Explosive Blow> instead of <Combo: Venom Fang>.

In the case of succession, the skill <Prime: Crimson Fang> does not have a stiffening effect, so when linking <Prime: Crimson Fang> – <Flow: Deathstrike> – <Flow: Bombardment>, it leads to the knockdown effect of <Flow: Explosive Blow>.

Meanwhile, <Flow: Bombardment> – <Combo: Venom Fang> – In the case of a down smash aimed at linking with <Combo: Final Blow>, <Flow: Bombardment> can be linked with the <Taebaek Kick> skill, so that <Flow: Bombardment> can be used in the following ways: <Taebaek kick (down smash)> – <Martial Deva> – <Flow: Savage Fang (down smash)> – <Roaring Tiger (down smash)>.

However, this status abnormality linkage was not particularly relevant in grinding, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused to adventurers who enjoy martial arts because it was unable to inflict higher damage than the previously used linkage.
Accordingly, we changed it again so that <Flow: Bombardment> leads to <Combo: Venom Fang>, and in the case of <Flow: Explosive Blow>, the damage amount was adjusted to selectively consider using it for the combo that leads to <Flow: Explosive Blow>.

Flow: Bombardment, Combo: Venom Fang

In the succession state, left-clicking after the Flow: Bombardment skill has been changed to lead to the Combo: Venom Fang skill.

Flow: Explosive Blow

The damage of the Flow: Explosive Blow skill has been changed as follows.
- Accordingly, the damage of the Combo: Final Blow skill will be changed to be the same as the damage of Flow: Explosive Blow.

Before change	After change
754% / 1005% / 1352% x 2, PvP damage reduction rate 34.1%	1408% / 1877% / 2502% x 2, PvP damage reduction rate 42.5%

Nova

Nova’s Succession Winter Testudo was buffed in the last update, making it a valuable tool for protecting forts and other structures during Node War.

With the addition of Super Armor during installation and increased duration, the protection and stability of this skill have been significantly enhanced. Consequently, Nova now needs to stay near the barrier for it to be maintained.

Additionally, if Nova is killed, the barrier will be removed. This change presents an option for opponents to focus their attacks on dismantling the barrier, while also giving Nova the opportunity to use this risk to draw enemy attacks towards herself.

Winter Testudo

After casting the Winter Testudo skill, the barrier has been changed to be canceled when you move away from the barrier by a certain distance.
An issue where the effect of the barrier disappeared after the character died, but the Thornwood Guards remained, has been fixed.

Class Bug Fixes

[Maehewa] Fixed the issue where the Black Spirit: Prime: Red Moon skill was activated in red sword state even though it was locked.
[Mystic] The issue where the fighting spirit of the first hit was not recovered when the last hit of the Prime: Hidden Claw was successful has been fixed.
[Corsair] The description of the Mareca: Sea Stroll skill has been modified to be more accurate.
[Dosa] When the Cloudveil skill cannot be used, the issue where right-clicking after the Fog Cleave skill did not link to the Flow: Rising Slash skill has been fixed.
[Corsair] Fixed the issue where the skill could not be linked to other skills after using the skill Mareca: Spiral Soak I~Absolute.
[Woosa] The issue where the mental power was not recovered by 2 hits when successfully hitting the Kaleidoscope Swirl I~Absolute skill has been fixed.
