Fixes and Improvements
- Improved the Black Desert+ app's stability.
We were happy to hear positive feedback from Adventurers on the Solo mode update for Vahmalkea and Sycrakea.
The Solo mode for Yolunakea is just like the other solo adventures, where the difficulty has been adjusted so that Adventurers can complete the main quest on their own, so we look forward to seeing your continuous love and support for Atoraxxion and its stories.
* Please note that in areas where you must proceed via mount, you will be able to select the mount of your choice in [Solo] Yolunakea.
- Added a "Solo" mode so players have the option to proceed with Atoraxxion: Yolunakea's main quests alone rather than with a party of 5.
- You can begin your solo adventure by pressing the "Enter Solo Mode" button upon entering Atoraxxion via the Sol Magia at the Ancient Stone Chamber.
- [Solo] Atoraxxion: Yolunakea has been designed so that you can complete the main quest alone, just like Vahmalkea and Sycrakea.

However factors that can affect PvP performance have not been changed, such as the movement speed of these skills.
The cooldown time for skills widely used in PvP such as Ninjutsu: Oni Shadow, Shuriken: Moon Dive, and Ninjutsu: Decapitation, have been reduced for increased efficiency. In addition, the descriptions of some skills have been updated to be understood more intuitively, as they were somewhat ambiguous before.

Wizard, Witch
Compared to other classes, Succession Witch and Wizard require higher control proficiency in order to connect well-timed combos.
Taking this into consideration, the PvE performance of major skills such as Prime: Frigid Fog: Control, Prime: Frigid Fog: Disrupt, and Prime: Voltaic Pulse has been increased. In particular, the effectiveness of Prime: Freeze has been increased to prove more useful in powerful monster zones. Also, the freezing effect of certain skills has been updated to only applied in PvP to minimize unintended freezing effects during PvE.

Dark Knight
There has been continuous feedback asking for the Dark Knight to be balanced.
After delving into the issue, certain combinations of Succession skills proved to be overpowered in PvP, so we have reduced the PvP damage of Prime: Kamasylvia Slash, and changed its connecting controls following Prime: Twilight Dash.
Though we tried our best to maintain the current characteristics of the Dark Knight, we came to the conclusion that these changes were inevitable. We ask for your understanding, especially from those who enjoy the Dark Knight.
We will continue to be diligent in checking and updating areas that require improvement and adjustment.

- Improved O'dyllita Monster Zone and Tunkuta as follows:
Adventurers needed to have an understanding of Tunkuta monster zones such as monsters' short pursue distance, the low frequency of potentially aggroing a monster from afar, and knowing the exact location of Ulutuka's spawn in order to navigate the zone effectively unlike other co-op monster zones.
Therefore, we have slightly increased the monsters' pursuit distance, changed monsters to immediately pursue when you attack them at range, and increased accessibility by making changes to the situation where Ulutuka's spawn was different depending on where Ulutuka's Alert was obtained. Also, you are now guaranteed to obtain Embers of Despairs as a drop when you defeat Ulutuka, so we hope you look forward to these changes.

Old Moon Guild's Trade Offer quest (quest to obtain PEN (V) accessories)
The PEN (V) Accessory Quest was prepared to relieve the burden of equipment for both new and seasoned Adventurers. However, the PEN (V) accessory itself is difficult and expensive to attain, so the process of reaching PEN (V) was painstakingly long. Now, 17 months after the release, we decided that it was time to shorten the process, so we doubled the reward for this quest. We hope this helps new Adventurers who have yet to attain these accessories.
- Updated so that you can obtain twice as much 'Burning Moonlight Black Stone Powder', a material needed to achieve PEN (V) accessories.
