Ranger

With this update, not only have we improved Ranger’s skill combos, but we’ve also enabled her to now take a more proactive approach to counterattacking while evading enemy attacks in combat. While still weak defensively, we made it so that Ranger can utilize the windows of Invincibility granted from her skills while waiting for an opening.

While we removed the ability to attack instantly on collision with Flow: Rushing Wind, we added the Invincibility effect while moving with the skill, thus enabling the Ranger to quickly approach the enemy, ignore their attacks, and deliver a counterattack of their own. Also, Spirit’s Haven was integrated into Flow: Rooting, changing it from a stationary skill to now grant Invincibility when performed and removed the collision detection during the skill. We hope to see Spirit’s Haven become a more important skill to help the Ranger secure more advantageous terrain.

Guardian Wind was changed so that it can be used as a normal skill instead of having to be comboed after a specific skill. The Down Attack debuff has been removed, but its overall damage dealt has increased. Though Guardian Wind does not grant any defensive effects, it is a skill that can inflict powerful ranged damage from a distance, so we hope this skill will be useful to keep enemies at bay. Finally, the Vine Knot skill has been improved to be more easily comboed with other skills. Currently the most popular combo involves using this skill with backward Waltz of Wind, but after this update, you will now be able to combo Vine Knot with other skills such as Nature's Tremble and Wind Blade, thus creating more diverse choices.

Kunoichi

We moved the defensive effects of Sah Spree of Sonan to Flow: Indignation, and now you can combo with Flow skills consecutively to inflict damage while maintaining the defensive effects. Also, now that Flow: Wrath applies the Down Smash debuff, you can string combos by using Lethal Spin Spree, Flow: Wrath, and Flow: Indignation to apply Smash Attack while being protected with Super Armor. We've also made changes to the buffs and debuffs granted by certain skills so you don’t feel forced to use them just to maintain those effects. In addition to that, we've also increased the overall damage of Awakening skills in PvP, so you don’t feel limited to using only Lethal Spin Spree to deal greater damage in your combos.

Awakening

Guardian

To retain her trait of dealing powerful, single blows, we’ve adjusted the Awakened Guardian’s overall damage for PvP. Specifically, charging skills such as Dragon’s Maw and Flow: Howling Light were improved to deal damage appropriate to the amount of time required to cast said skills. Also, since you fight without a shield in Awakening, we’ve improved Dragon’s Calling to recover even more HP as you aggressively wield your jordun in battle.

Awakening

Flow: Suppress

• Increased the duration of Super Armor during the skill.
• Changed the Critical Hit Rate buff to now apply in PvP as well.

• Decreased the total number of times able to charge from 4 to 3.
• Added the Down Attack debuff.

Hashashin

We sought to bolster the Awakened Hashashin’s capabilities in dealing with multiple opponents instead of one.
First, we changed Sin Splitter by adding a defensive effect but it now no longer applies a debuff in PvP,  thereby allowing for the usage of other Core skills.
Collapse was the most used skill after Constriction and Core: Sin Splitter, and so we added an Attack Speed buff to the skill, which now lets your Hashashin deal damage faster with combos that start with Collapse.
We’ve also heard from many Adventurers that they couldn’t fully utilize Dune Slash’s Knockdown debuff for the entirety of its duration due to Flow: Dune Strike’s Down Smash debuff interrupting the flow of the entire combo, so we decided to remove the Down Smash debuff from being applied by Flow: Dune Strike.
Lastly, for Silent Breach, we changed it so that defensive effects now only apply while moving with the skill, and made the skill activate faster, thus changing it into a skill useful to apply surprise debuffs upon unsuspecting foes.

Major Updates - Maegu

Black Desert's 26th new class, Maegu has been released.

After Woosa’s release, many adventurers displayed great interest in her older twin sister, Maegu. We’d like to thank all of our adventurers for their patience.First off, Maegu’s main weapon is the “Foxspirit Charm.” Her inherent traits include the ability to summon an “illusory double” and being a ranged character who utilizes agile movements to perform a flurry of spectacular spells.

Her double only appears for specific skills, but retains the Maegu’s Family, character, and Guild names, and is also marked on the minimap, allowing her to cause great confusion to her enemies. Maegu can also switch places with her double with the tap of a button. We look forward to seeing the creative PvP tactics our adventurers will discover while playing as Maegu.

In addition, during her the development process, what we placed strong emphasis on were her combos and her agile movements. Maegu has several movement skills that can be easily comboed into other skills in her arsenal, enabling her to boast a rather fast-paced playstyle. Once our adventurers get used to her gameplay, they will be able to easily dish out quick combos as well. To balance out such an advantage, we made some of her more powerful skills have longer casting times, all while keeping her level of entry not too difficult, especially for PvE.

Once again, thank you for all your interest and love towards Maegu. We hope many of our adventurers enjoy playing as her. Thank you.

Silver Integration within Character Inventory & Storage

From now on, Silver will be integrated. By integration, we mean that Silver will no longer be stored "separately".
Before, you could store Silver in your Inventory for every character you have created and with storage as well. After this update, Silver will be completely unified to "My Silver" and everything will be integrated regardless of which character you log in to or which Storage you use.

Silver being stored separately brought some inconvenience to some contents (i.e. when trying to recover your horse with a character that has no Silver, or when trying to move to another major city via the Magnus and others). We hope Adventurers continue the journey pleasantly since this improvement will be applied to this update.

* Please note that the change won't apply to Central Market since it operates differently.

• Integrated Silver in your character inventory within the Family and Storage to "My Silver".

• • Unified Silver displayed in your Inventory and Storage into one in the following UI:

UI Name

Notifications that ask for Inventory or Storage Silver: Storage Storage - Warehouse NPC Shop Stable Wharf Blacksmith - Repair Blacksmith - Extract Blacksmith - Cleanse Gear Wandering Alchemist - Lightstone Exchange/Purification Cleanse Gear Patrigio - Secret Shop Pearl Shop - Silver Event Items Black Spirit's Safe - Collect Silver Reward Mail - (Mail with Silver) To Storage Manor - Manor Contract Work Supervisor - Contract Workers Work Supervisor - Worker Exchange Imperial Auction

• Added so a confirmation notification displays again when purchasing an item that is over 30,000,000 Silver in NPC Shop.
• Removed Silver displayed in Storage.
• Fixed so "My Silver" is used when transporting items from Storage.
• Fixed so Silver cannot be searched via Find My Item.
• Fixed so Silver will be collected to "My Silver" instead of Storage when collecting Silver from the Horse Market and Rental Market within the Stable.
• Fixed so Silver will be collected to "My Silver" instead of Storage when collecting daily wages and wages from Guild (G).
• Change the message that displays when pressing the Collect Silver Reward button from the Black Spirit's Safe.

• Added a feature where 100 Silver is given when creating a Trial Character.

Warrior

We improved Succession Warrior to be able to use Prime: Counter in a greater capacity than before. First, we made it so that Energy Counter is always activated. This will allow the Warrior to apply the Floating debuff with attacks from mid-range, or gain an Accuracy buff while comboing into a Knockdown attack.
We've also added the Forward Guard buff to the Frenzied Dash skill. While unable to move laterally while on Guard, this improvement will enable the Warrior to relentlessly push forward, which aligns with the concept of the Succession Warrior.

Counter, Prime: Pulverize

• Fixed the issue of not comboing with Prime: Pulverize sometimes when learning Counter (I to Absolute).

Sorceress

Through this update, the total damage of Sorceress most frequently used Awakening’s skills for PvE has increased. Also, Soul Harvest’s casting speed has been strengthened and improved to combo faster. We have increased the combo speed of Shadow Leap’s after the character appears, as well as the speed of combos after Night Crow, as these are two of Awakening Sorceress' strengths. We've also added a skill where Shards of Darkness reset and have improved it so that Shards of Darkness are maintained when using the skill by consuming Shards of Darkness with the scythe.

Awakening

Sage

For Succession Sage, we decided to change and/or add the defensive effect of Forward Guard to certain skills, thus enabling the Sage to maintain both Forward Guard and Super Armor after Prime: Rift Chain, albeit for a short period of time. We’ve also increased the damage of certain skills, thereby boosting the Sage’s battle prowess for PvE, and applied changes to Stamina costs and defensive effects of movement skills in the name of making some quality-of-life improvements.
Prime: Rift Chain will now use less Stamina, allowing it to be used more frequently, and Prime: Spear Bolt has had its dash attack removed, trading it in for a longer duration of defensive effects while moving. Additionally, Prime: Spear Bolt will now make your Sage appear while facing your opponent so you no longer have to spin the camera to attack immediately when using the skill while moving.
Additionally, the All DP reduction effect of Realm of Anguish has been changed to Magic DP reduction. This will allow your Sage to apply overlapping DP reduction debuffs and now deal even greater damage than before.
Last but not least, we removed the Bound debuff from Atomagia and added Forward Guard to Void Gateways. Atomagia used to be a skill that applied both a defensive effect and a debuff, but we decided to bolster Void Gateways instead to increase the latter skill’s frequency of usage.
