Red Battlefield Improvements
Re-entering the red battlefield and moving to the team with the upper hand has been an issue for a long time, and we apologize for not being able to resolve it quickly. These factors were factors that added to the inconvenience to adventurers who enjoyed the red battlefield. Starting with improving these issues, Black Desert will refine various contents.
- It has been improved so that when you re-enter after leaving the Red Battlefield, you will re-enter with the team that was initially selected.
- ※ When first entering the red battlefield, the combined attack and defense stats of both teams are taken into consideration to select a team.
Crystal Recovery Function
With the addition of a crystal recovery feature, you no longer have to wait to use the recovery service provided through the customer center. Up until now, you have used the recovery service through support tickets, but I have always felt sorry that we were not able to proceed with the recovery quickly and that the response or progress was not fast. Even if multiple crystals are destroyed at once, this function is equally prepared so that all the destroyed crystals can be restored at once. As adventurers in many areas have been waiting for a long time, this function has been improved so that you can recover up to 3 crystals per year. We hope that you will use the services provided to adventurers more conveniently within the game. In addition, many people have expressed their opinions about the stress caused by crystal destruction due to the danger of top hunting grounds. We believe that this area requires improvement, and we will carefully consider finding and resolving more fundamental issues.
- If a crystal is destroyed due to a character’s death, a function has been added to restore the destroyed crystal.
- When a character dies and the crystal is destroyed, the destroyed crystal can be restored through the ‘Recover Crystal’ button on the death screen.
- If you want to restore crystals that were destroyed after the character is resurrected, you can check the list of destroyed crystals and restore them through the trash can button at the bottom right of the bag (I).
Ulukita Grind Zone Improvements
In certain hunting grounds, when evasive equipment was equipped, it was difficult to secure stability during hunting compared to equipment with a high damage reduction value due to the monster’s high accuracy. The monster’s accuracy has been reduced so that even when evasion type equipment is equipped, if the evasion ability is sufficient, some of the monster’s attacks can be avoided.
- The monsters that appear in the <Ulukita> area have been adjusted as follows.
| Grind Zone Name | Adjustment details |
|---|---|
| City of the Dead |
The accuracy of monsters that appear in the City of the Dead has been reduced by approximately 23%. |
| Tungrad Ruins | The accuracy of monsters that appear in Tungrad Ruins has been reduced by about 21%. |
| Dark Seeker’s Retreat |
The accuracy of monsters appearing in the Dark Seeker’s Retreat has been reduced by approximately 21%.
Certain attacks from Dark Followers have been changed to apply normal damage rather than burn damage.
|
Crypt of Resting Thoughts Improvements
With the previous patch, more classes were allowed to grind Crypt of the Resting Thoughts, and the status ailments (crowd control) of regular monsters that appear have been integrated, reducing the threat of status ailments during battle. When dealing with powerful monsters, such as the Dark Knight and Raznal, that often appear during hunting and target adventurers, the tension of blocking and avoiding attacks to avoid being attacked by status abnormalities is maintained as before.
- The status abnormality (crowd contorl) attack of the monsters below that appear in the Crypt of Resting Thoughts has been changed to stun or stiffen.
| Monster name | |
|---|---|
| Ahib Beast Tamer, Ahib Dark Stalker, Ahib Condemner, Ahib Demonic Warrior, Ahib Witch Doctor Ahib saloon bear spearman, Ahib saloon wolf spearman |
|
| Before change | After Change |
| Knockdown, Float, Stun, Knockback | Stun, stiffness |
- In the hunting ground information window, when the location of the hunting ground of the Resting Thoughts is guided, it has been changed to guide you to the entrance of the hunting ground.
[Dehkia] Olun’s Valley Improvements
Currently, there are issues where while using the Shai class’s Misty Haze skill on the Colossus of Olun, that appears in the [Dehkia] Olun’s Valley, when the left arm pattern is in progress there are times the main body of the colossus is being destroyed before all the summoned monsters are killed, etc. Then the summoned monsters will also disappear. In order to prevent this situation, the amount of damage must be intentionally adjusted. We judged that this strategy would cause inconvenience to adventurers, so we increased the HP and allowed the Colossus of Olun to be defeated naturally even without intentionally adjusting the damage. Trash loot has been increased.
- The maximum health of the Colossus of Olun has been increased by 15% compared to before.
- The appearance condition for the Colossus of Olun’s attack pattern of striking the ground with its left arm has been changed from 60% health to 70% health.
- The number of trash items obtained when defeating the Colossus of Olun has been increased as follows.
- Acquired 1~3 previously → Acquired 5~15 after change
Improved Guild Galley – New Ship
Through this update, an ‘Improved Guild Galley’ that can be upgraded through the Guild Galley has been added.
The guild galley was a representative guild mount, with adventurers going out to sea with guild members to kill sea monsters and participate in vell raids.
However, with the advent of sailboats and panokseons, the meaning of galleys faded, and it was faster and even more powerful to use individual sailboats than to use guild galleys.
Accordingly, the overall performance was improved through expansion of the guild galley, making it more suitable for a ship representing the guild.
In addition, the guild members on board were able to operate the ship faster through the rowing mini-game, giving meaning to the experience of having fun with guild members.
Material items purchased through guild funds have also been designed to use materials that can already be purchased at the guild store.
Here, the core material, blueprints, can be collected more lightly and quickly in proportion to the number of people by working together with guild members through Khan subjugation.
In addition, the expansion of the improved galley was carried out using green grade ship parts sold by the guild wharf manager, so that expansion could be attempted without the hassle of guild house bidding.
Improved Guild Galley
- The Old Moon Guild has approved the expansion of the newly researched Improved Guild Galley
- The improved galley is basically durable yet lightweight, and compared to the Epheria sailboat, the ship’s basic abilities are higher.
- In the case of the improved galley’s guns, guild members on board can operate them through direct interaction.
- In addition, there are 7 guns each on the left and right sides, as well as an internal deck that can accommodate up to 10 guild members.
- In particular, guild members who enter the deck of an improved galley can charge a certain amount of gauge through the so-called ‘rowing’ mini-game, and can sail faster by consuming the gauge.
Improved Guild Galley Stats
- Details of the improved galley are as follows:
| Durability | 2,000,000 |
| Rations | 1,500,000 |

Class Changes
PvP balance adjustments and verification between classes are currently in progress. Factors to consider when adjusting balance include defense judgment, status abnormalities, and amount of damage. Unlike PvE changes, class PvP changes have a relatively large impact on each other, so if patches are partially applied to several classes per week, additional considerations will arise, and partial application will occur. This is a difficult situation. Therefore, we are very sorry to adventurers for not being able to introduce it in this update, as it is taking time to consider the mutual elements between various classes. In this case, I will focus a little more and prepare well.
Nova
As Awakened Nova has the characteristic of managing skill operations in accelerated and normal states separately, these characteristics have been strengthened, and the overall damage of major acceleration skills has been increased to provide more reliable performance than before when entering the accelerated state. In addition, the cooldown of the Starfall skill has been changed to be the same as that of the Accel: Star’s Call skill so that the existing skill combo operation is not significantly affected.

Kunoichi
Moon Storm and Sah Spree of Sonan are highly utilized skills due to their HP recovery effect during hunting, although it is a highly utilzed skill, the damage was relatively low. The damage of Sah Spree of Sonan skill has been adjusted to match the long casting time due to the separate casting motions, and the damage of the Moon Storm skill has been adjusted so that it can inflict strong damage even at the beginning of the combo in a PvE combo that applies a debuff. In addition, the Flow: Pinwheel Fury is used in conjunction with the skill, and when activated, it appears in front of the caster and attacks, so it has the characteristic of being difficult to activate in the desired direction and location. Therefore, the damage amount was adjusted so that it can inflict decent damage in any direction when activated.
