With the Summer Season upon, and the new Expansion on the horizon, we’ve got a nice new update. There are plenty of quests, new adjustments to some fan favorite heroes (including Lahn, Archer, and Shai). But because these patch notes are long, let’s cut right to the chase and get right into it.

Major Updates

• • Switching between main weapons and awakening weapons
• • Sheathing/unsheathing awakening weapons

Lahn

Awakening Lahn has increased damage for some of her main skills such as Flow: Vice, Bridled Despair, Taunting Death, and Flow: Mangler. In addition, the damage of Earthly Pain, Blood Moon Twist, Eradication, and Taunting Death has been increased to fill the times when Furor is on cooldown while defeating monsters. The damage of Blood Moon Twist was significantly improved and made it possible to combo with more skills than before. When it is used with the newly improved Eradication, she will be able to combo with even more skills. With the increased damage of skills and the improvements made to skill combos, we hope to see a larger variety of skills used to defeat monsters.

Awakening

• Adjusted the damage of the following skills.

Skill	Before	After
Flow: Vice	Attack damage 1350% x 6 PvP Damage Reduction Rate 49.3%	Attack damage 1755% x 6 PvP Damage Reduction Rate 61%

Hashashin

Hashashin recovered HP mainly by using Prime: Chosen Blade and Conversion. However, it was insufficient in the higher level monster zones. So, we added HP recovery effects to Aal’s Command and Flow: Voracity to improve his sustain. Additionally, we improved the damage of Crown Kick, Falling Collapse, and Flow: Dune Strike for Awakening Hashashin. These are typically used at the beginning of combos while defeating monsters and their efficiency was increased for longer session.

• Added the ability for Prime: Quicksand to gather all Sand Twisters in front.

Trading Activity

• The credibility of the [Old Moon Guild Newsletter], which is operated by the Old Moon Guild to deliver trade information, is slowly being recognized by adventurers.
  • Now, the Old Moon Guild has begun to provide more reliable information in the newsletter by writing the content in more detail.
  • There has been an increase in the probability of [Old Moon Guild] information being correct.
    • Adventurers who enjoy trading can now obtain information more intuitively and find that the information provided in the newsletter is more often correct than not.

※ If the information from the [Old Moon Guild Newsletter] about the trade goods of each village is correct, villagers related to the provided information will appear in their designated locations.

• In the case where a trade item’s cost has been 40% or less of its original cost for 3 market price cycles, the period where which trade items cannot be purchased has been reduced from 7 to 3 days
  • Goods cannot be purchased during this period of time as giant merchant guild of unknown origins purchase all of them when prices plunge.
  • After this period of 3 days, the items will be available for purchase again at their original market price.

In order to engage in trading activities, certain node levels were necessary. This meant that players had to invest Contribution Points into each node and manage them consistently. If connecting nodes were ever disconnected, trade activity would be difficult as players would have to reinvest and reconnect these nodes. In order to solve this inconvenience, we have changed the condition for purchasing trade goods to be based on Trading Levels.

• Changed the condition for purchasing trade goods from node levels to the player’s Trading Level.

Purchase Condition Before	Purchase Condition After
Node Level 3	Trading Skilled 1
Node Level 5	Trading Professional 1
Node Level 7	Trading Artisan 1

• Added a quest where you can obtain Trading EXP Artifacts at a low probability when selling items through Trading.
  • You can accept this quest through Dalishain in any town and obtain Sethra’s Artifact – Trading EXP Artifact.

Changed the conditions for entering Season-1/ New Olvia (New Adventurer) servers

• Changed the level conditions for entering the servers Season-1 (New Adventurer) and New Olvia (New Adventurer).
  • Players still within 60 days (1440 hours) of setting up their secondary password are considered new adventurers.

Before	After
The total sum of the character levels in a Family is under 150	The total sum of the character levels in a Family is under 200

Item

New feature: Character-to-Character item transfer

Now you can conveniently transfer items between characters using maids/butlers. We wanted to introduce this feature sooner, but since it involves moving items, it required rigorous testing and verification. Now that it’s ready, we hope adventurers will find it highly useful. We will also keep enhancing the UI for improved item management, including coin management, through ongoing updates and improvements.

• Added a new feature that allows characters within the same Family to transfer items from one character’s inventory to the inventory of the currently logged-in character.
  • Use Storage Maids/Butlers through the View other character’s Inventory in the End Game window.

Before	After
[Progressed in the following order] 1. Use Storage Maids/Butlers to store items in the Storage. 2. Log in with a different character. 3. Use Storage Maids/Butlers to retrieve items from the Storage.	[Simplified in the following order] 1. Use Storage Maids/Butlers to directly transfer items from one character to another. (End Game Window – View other character’s Inventory – Right-click)

※ The number and weight of items moved using this feature are subject to the same restrictions as the Storage Maid/Butler function.

※ Trade goods, guild items, character-bound items, treasure items, and Ornette’s/Odore’s Spirit Essence (including sub-items) are subject to the same restrictions as the Storage usage feature.

Workers

Introducing exciting changes for workers!

Changes are coming for workers in Black Desert! We’re excited to introduce a series of enhancements to improve your worker management experience:

Firstly, we’ve listened to the feedback of adventurers, and as a result, you can now automatically recover your workers’ stamina by storing food in your Family Inventory. This highly requested feature aims to reduce the manual task of providing food and allows you to focus on other aspects of gameplay.

In addition to automatic stamina recovery, you now have the ability to specify where the harvested goods should be stored after your workers have completed their tasks. Previously, goods harvested by a worker from Velia at Finto Farm would be automatically stored in Velia’s storage. However, with the new update, you can designate a specific destination for the goods. This feature enables you to bring together goods from different production nodes into a single storage location, enhancing efficiency.

We’re also raising the maximum level of workers from 30 to 40. Upon reaching level 40, your workers will unlock a passive skill called Delivery, which allows them to utilize the assigned delivery feature mentioned earlier. To ensure a smoother leveling experience, we have reduced the required EXP for levels 1 to 30. Furthermore, workers will learn new skills at level 35, providing you with more diverse options to utilize your workers effectively. The increase in maximum level also introduces an additional chance for Promotion, offering further progression opportunities. Please note that these updates will be implemented sequentially over the first and second weeks. ※ Lastly, we want to inform you that the ability of each worker will be adjusted due to the automatic stamina recovery and the introduction of new skills. Stay tuned for further details on these adjustments!

• Added a feature that automatically recovers workers’ stamina through recovery items from the Family inventory.
• • You can activate this feature by pressing the Recover All button from the Worker list.
• The automatic recovery feature prioritizes the workers’ stamina when it reaches 3 and by the sorting order of recovery items within the Family inventory.
• A notification will display when there are no worker recovery items in your Family Inventory.

If you want to use the automatic recovery feature upon consuming all your workers’ stamina recovery items, please note the following:
To reactivate the feature, you can either enable it again or use a recovery item at least once. This will initiate the automatic recovery process for the workers.
※ Please note we are planning to implement further improvements to use the above feature without requiring the need for reactivation after the May 31st maintenance.

• Increased the maximum number of slots available upon using the Family Inventory Expansion Coupon from 52 to 72.

• Improved the cooking mechanics so that failed cooking no longer triggers your chance of mass cooking activating.
• Improved the ratio from 1:1 to 1:3 when utilizing the following high-level cooking as an ingredient.
  • Changed the grade of the following cooking materials from green to blue.
  • Changed the Supplied rations on ship for the following cooking from 100 to 240.

Higher level dishes that can be used as ingredients

Spongy Teff Bread Sweet Fig Pie Mild Date Palm Wine

• Changed so that upon crafting items requiring enhanced items as materials, the enhancement level is displayed for houses purchased via Contribution points.
• Adjusted the item slot spacing so it is easier to identify the quantity of crafting materials required for houses purchased via Contribution points.

When trying to enhance equipment through Boss Gear enhancement content, adventurers were able to obtain crystals through weekly quests and reinforce lacking areas using Boss Summon Scrolls. We’ve increased the rate for obtaining both weekly quests and Boss Summon Scrolls, allowing adventurers to gather the required number of crystals more quickly than before. Additionally, we made a change regarding the crafting materials for Reform Stones. Previously, Opals were in high demand as they were an essential material not only for crafting reform stones, but also for other important content. To address this, we have replaced Opals with other types of crystals for crafting them.

Increase in the number of Concentrated Crystal from Jenita’s weekly quest

• Increased the number of Concentrated Crystal rewards for the following quests from Old Moon Guild Manager Jetina from 115 to 155.
  • Concentrated Crystal is an item required to craft PEN (V) boss gear reform stones.

    • As a result, the number of Calpheon Knights Outstations has decreased.

• Fixed an issue where the received silver amount for trade goods sold at 30% of their original value (excluding newly added trade items from the Trading Activity Revamp) due to node disconnection or expiration was mistakenly set at 25% instead of 30% after the Trading Activity Revamp update on April 6.
  • The missing 5% difference in Silver price is sent during the May 24 (Wed) maintenance through Letter (B).

Big changes! And this stacks right on top of the even bigger patch notes we got just a few days ago. Check out those notes here: Black Desert Online Update: Full Patch Notes Listed (May 17).
