Hadum Server – Biraghi Den Revamp

• Following the red orc colony, Serendia’s Biraghi Den was encroached on Hadum.
  
  • The bandits of the Biraghi Den have become more sophisticated to guard against intruders.
    
  • In particular, one of the goals is to bring out their boss, Biraghi.
    
  • Biraghi charges a bounty to the adventurer if his subordinates continue to be struck, and more powerful enemies launch attacks. The bounty increases with the more bandits you kill, and when you reach the maximum, Biraghi will appear directly.
    
  • When Biraghi is defeated, his rare treasure chest appears, and only one adventurer with the highest contribution can obtain loot.
    
  • ※ Currently, the loot that can be obtained from the hunting grounds encroached by Hadum is not confirmed and may be changed. The changed contents will be continuously updated through the Black Desert Global Lab.

Black Spirit Adventure – Cards added

• The’Arcana’ system has been added to the Black Spirit Adventure Board.
  
  • Arcana is a kind of card-type content, and you can get help when you want to move to the desired space or complete the Black Spirit’s adventure.
    
  • Arcana can be obtained from a special platform during the Black Spirit Adventure.

Karanda’s Heart added

• Karanda’s heart, bearing the power of the storm, has appeared in the world.
  
  • Karanda’s Heart can be obtained at a low chance by defeating Tempest Siren Karanda.
    
  • Referring to the improved awakening weapon with Karanda’s heart, the Delphe Knights named it as the weapon that swallowed the storm.
  • Storm swallowed awakening weapon has 1 crystal slot and +3% critical strike effect.

Tempest Siren Karanda is updated on the live server next week. If you succeed in subjugation, you will be given a chance to get a special loot, Karanda’s Heart, unlike the existing Nightmarish / Bloodstained bosses. Karanda’s Heart is an Awakening weapon (exclusive) improvement item that adds 1 crystal slot and increases Critical Hit Damage by 3%. We hope that it will be a valuable loot for those who have not yet acquired Garmoth’s Heart, and Karanda’s Heart will be given a chance to acquire a little more than Garmoth’s Heart.

  • Adventurers who have completed Caphras’s Adventure Journals 1 – 4 and ‘Caphras: Immortal Tome’ quest from the Black Spirit, receive the ‘Caphras: Life of Light and Shadow’ quest from the Black Spirit and go to Alustin in Velia.
  • After completing the quest from Alustin of Velia, proceed with the quest for ‘Caphras’ Tome, Mysterious Power’, and obtain 10 ‘Caphras – Tome of Light and Shadow’ and ‘Caphras Stone’. When you complete the quest, you can choose one of 3 types of Caphras – Tome.
