Black Desert Online – November 2022 Patch Notes | Unleash Your Inner Ninja!

Introduction

In this exciting update, Adventurers in the world of Black Desert can rejoice as the highly sought-after Truffle Mushrooms have become even more abundant. Thanks to recent reports from herbalists and mushroom pickers, it seems that these delectable fungi are popping up in greater numbers in the wild. To make things even better, the number of Truffle Mushroom spawning points has been increased in Serendia, Calpheon, Mediah, and even certain spots in Drieghan. And that's not all - the respawn time of Truffle Mushrooms has been reduced by a whopping 33%, allowing Truffle Mushroom enthusiasts to gather to their heart's content. So whether you're a seasoned herbalist or simply enjoy crafting elixirs, this update is sure to bring a smile to your face. Get ready to embark on a Truffle Mushroom-gathering adventure like never before!

In this update, we've improved how Adventurers obtain Truffle Mushrooms by expanding the number of locations where they appear, as well as increasing the quantity of Truffle Mushrooms that can be gathered. We've also decreased the amount of time it takes for the Truffle Mushroom resources to respawn, allowing Truffle Mushroom-gobbling Adventurers to be able to gather to their heart's content. We hope this will allow even more Adventurers to reap the benefits (such as crafting elixirs) of the wonderful Truffle Mushroom.

We've added a hall of fame to honor the greatest warriors ever to grace the Arena of Solare. You will find it right at the entrance to the Battle Arena, where you'll find the likenesses of 24 adventurers who ranked no. 1 per class in the past season of Solare. Adventurers who interact with these likenesses will be granted the "Blessing of a Great Knight" buff as well. We've prepared this hall of fame to celebrate those adventurers who displayed phenomenal talent and skill in the arena, and we hope this meaningful installment will have other adventurers take part in the reverie as well as feel motivated to challenge the next season of Arena of Solare themselves.
In addition, this hall of fame will be managed by season, just like the Arena of Solare. The adventurers currently on display will remain until the end of the next season when new heroes have been made. With many of our adventurers anticipating the next season, we want to announce that season 2 of Arena of Solare will be coming this winter, improved and renewed. Thank you.
