Black Desert Online – 26 July 2023 Patch Notes | Exciting New Additions and Improvements!

Introduction

Get ready for some exciting new additions and improvements that will enhance your gaming experience. First up, we have some class changes that will make your gameplay smoother than ever. Characters like Hashashin, Guardian, Sage, Drakania, and Maegu have been improved to quickly sheathe their Awakening Weapon and mount their horse with just a press of the ↑(W) key. Talk about convenience! But that's not all, folks. We've also made some changes to the Traveler's Map, Archaeologist's Map, and [Oasis] Traveler's Map. Now, when you use these maps, your character will be teleported after a certain amount of time. However, be careful because if you take damage or get hit by a debuff, the teleportation process will be canceled. We've also disabled the use of these maps while a debuff is applied, so plan your travels wisely. In addition, we've made some adjustments to the Escape function in the ESC menu. Now, when you use the Escape function, you will be moved away after a certain amount of time. Just like with the maps, if you take damage or get hit by a debuff, the escape preparation will be canceled. And remember, the Escape function cannot be used while a debuff is applied. Stay safe out there, adventurers! Now let's talk about the Ranger class. We've heard your feedback and addressed the stamina issues that the Succession Ranger faced while using Prime: Blasting Gust to move around during combat. We've made improvements to consume less stamina, making it easier for you to navigate the battlefield. Additionally, we've changed Prime: Ultimate: Blasting Gust to be an MP-consumed skill, alleviating your stamina concerns even further. We've also added an Invincible effect at the start of the Evasive Landing Shot, and improved the combo between evasive skills, making it a breeze to utilize during combat. That's just a taste of what's in store for you in this patch. So gear up, get ready, and dive into the exciting world of gaming with these new updates. Happy gaming, everyone!

Hashashin
The Hashashin is a class that deals fatal damage to enemies, inspired by the desert’s assassins. However, since their skills do not have an accuracy rate effect, it was difficult for them to deal fatal damage to opponents with high evasion. To address this, Prime: Aal’s Dominion adds a accuracy rate +15% for 10 sec when using skills, allowing for sustained high accuracy rate when attacking with chain skills. Some Awakening skills have also been given accuracy rate increase effects.

Adventurers can defeat Garmoth when they are available among the 14 appearances to obtain a maximum of 3 rewards. (As the frequency of Garmoth’s appearance has changed, its health has been adjusted to allow for a more manageable battle even with fewer people. This may be further adjusted.) These rewards are given in the form of weekly quests. You can receive the weekly quest from Kukao near the Node Manager NPC, and then defeat Garmoth at your convenience to obtain the rewards. In addition, to allow more adventurers to obtain good loot, the type of reward obtained based on damage dealt has been standardized, so you can aim for better rewards at your discretion. As Crimson Dragon Garmoth is a world boss content that many adventurers seek, we will strive to make it a more enjoyable and fun boss to defeat. ※ This spawn method will only be maintained for a certain period of time and will be changed back to the original method.

Ash Forest

The fog of Ash Forest has thickened, and even more ghosts are targeting adventurers. Previously, it was somewhat difficult for many adventurers to enjoy combat together, but now you can enjoy battles with many monsters even in small areas. In addition, we have improved the spawn locations that were not frequently used, so they can be used as major monster zones. And with the addition of Dehkia’s Lantern, the price of Deboreka accessories were increased. We hope these changes heighten your enjoyment in both combat and obtaining loot.
  • The fog of Ash Forest thickens, and rumors about the missing adventurer continue to spread throughout the grey forest. Guards at Acher Guard Post talk of a story that the ghosts of the Ash Forest are the spirits of the forest that were swallowed by the ash storm of the past. Amidst the silence of the thickening fog, the guards are on high alert and in a state of vigilance.
    • Increased the number of Volkras, Barnas, and Gairas of Ash Forest.
    • Moved the location of the Rift Seed that summons ghosts.


Dehkia's Lantern

Dehkia’s Lantern was added with today’s update.

When used in Ash Forest and Olun’s Valley, Dehkia’s Lantern activates in the field and the affected monsters awaken, becoming more powerful. This enables our Adventurers to try for better loot.

This content was prepared as a means to more actively utilize the fields of Black Desert. After the Calpheon and Elvia update, there was a shortage of monster zones for skilled adventurers for a long time. However, through Dehkia’s Lantern, we can expand the zones for these adventurers more quickly. They're not completely, but we’ve designed it to provide some new entertainment, so we hope you enjoy playing it.

Dehkia’s Lantern will also be applied to Thornwood Forest, Tunkuta, and Cyclops Land after Ash Forest and Olun’s Valley, and we will prepare for a smooth transition to the new zone, Ulukita. We will also try to improve the existing monster zones as quickly as possible. ※ Please note that during the 2 weeks after the Dehkia’s Lantern update, crystals will not be destroyed even if you die.

Please note that during the 2 weeks after the Dehkia’s Lantern update, crystals will not be destroyed even if you die.
  • A new artifact, Dehkia’s Lantern, was discovered in the ancient stronghold, Atoraxxion, which was built to prevent the invasion of the Dark Invader. The first person to discover this artifact was Lafi Bedmountain of the Secret Guards. He named it Dehkia’s Lantern, speculating that it was an enhancement device for ancient weapons created by Atoraxxion’s founder, Dehkia, in preparation for the Black Spirit’s invasion. However, further investigation has revealed another secret, causing great concern. You can learn more during the quests to obtain Dehkia’s Lantern.
    • Dehkia's Lantern can be used in Ash Forest and Olun's Valley. (cooldown 10 min)
    • More Dehkia's Lantern usable regions will be added at a later date.
  • Monsters affected by Dehkia's Lanterned will be awakened into a state of chaos.
    • Dehkia's Lamp will awaken monsters within a range of 50.
