Greetings Adventurers,

Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on May 4, 2022 (Wed). Today’s patch contains 68 updates and is approximately 1.46 GB.

  1.  

Artifact/Lightstone Inventory

 An artifact inventory applied to the entire Family was added so you can now manage and keep your artifacts and lightstones separately. We developed this inventory with the purpose of adding a separate space that allows you to manage artifacts and lightstones without taking up your existing inventory, also taking into consideration the greater variety of artifacts and lightstones to be added in the future. 

The inventory was created so that you can store up to 30 artifacts, and for lightstones, each one stored will be stacked and displayed similarly to the ‘Palette’ feature. 

Additionally, the artifact inventory is shared amongst your Family. All of your characters can manage the items stored in the inventory, but when you infuse or unequip any stored artifacts or lightstones, please take note that you must move them from your artifact inventory to your regular inventory. 

Artifacts and lightstones were updated in hopes of providing great variety to how you enjoy the game. We are considering upgrading presets and other functions to broaden utilization in addition to the update of new artifacts and lightstones, so we hope you look forward to it. Thank you. 

● Added an artifact inventory which allows you to store artifacts and lightstones separately from your regular inventory.
– The artifact inventory applies to your entire Family.
– You can use it via the ‘Artifact Inventory’ button on the bottom of the Inventory UI.
– The same items will be stacked and take up a single slot, which will enable you to easily check the quantities of a single type of item.  
– Small icons for lightstones will be displayed so you can get an idea of the current infused artifacts in the inventory without having to check the tooltips.
– You can use the filter on the bottom to look for fire, earth, wind, and special lightstones held in the inventory.

 The durability of artifacts will now be unlimited, as mentioned during the QNA session of CalpheON Episode 2. There may have been some Adventurers who’ve used Item Brand Spell Stones due to the immense durability consumption of artifacts. The precious Item Brand Spell Stones that you used will be sent to your in-game mailbox. 

● Changed the durability of artifacts to now be unlimited.
– Due to this change, the durability will no longer be displayed on the durability consumption UI and item descriptions of artifacts.
– The Item Brand Spell Stones used on artifacts were sent to your in-game mailbox.

Item descriptions that will be updated later will also be improved so that you can check their usage first.

Quest, Knowledge

 The ‘Barrier of Infestation’ content, where you could directly face off against a World Boss, is one of various ways from which you can obtain permanent stat bonuses outside of upgrading your weapon. We changed Kzarka of the Barrier of Infestation to be able to be attempted by a single person as we decided that they can be defeated without the help of other Adventurers. 

● Changed the Barrier of Infestation (I to III) quests to a solo quest.
– The difficulty level was lowered and adjusted, due to the quests being changed to solo quests.

 Papua Crinea is both a place designed to put Adventurers’ minds at ease, providing a bit of a respite for exhausted adventures, while also inhabited by cute and cuddly Otters and Papus. With transformation scrolls, you are able to turn into a Papu or an Otter and see their stories unfold on this island. To keep to the idea that the islands should serve as a place of ‘healing,’ we’ve improved the ‘Stoneback Crab’ quests in Papua Crinea so that our Adventurers can now complete them singlehandedly.

● Improved the Papua Crinea quests as follows:
– The [Co-op Daily] Intelligent Stoneback Crab is no longer a co-op quest and is now available for solo questing.
* Quest difficulty was adjusted to be solo-able by a single Adventurer.
– [For the Thousand Year War] Intelligent Stoneback Crab quests’ difficulty levels were adjusted accordingly.
* Dumb Stoneback Crabs, Mediocre Stoneback Crabs, Intelligent Stoneback Crabs, Extraordinary Stoneback Crabs, and  Bloodthirsty Stoneback Crabs difficulty levels were also reduced.


 The increase in Contribution EXP rewarded from quests will also be applied for 183 quests in Valencia, 103 quests in Kamasylvia, and 75 quests in Drieghan, following the previous increase in  Contribution EXP rewarded from quests that have been applied for two weeks in other regions. We are planning to apply an increase in Contribution EXP rewards up to O’dyllita and the Mountain of Eternal Winter.

Conquest War, Node War

 To increase the strategic element of Recovery Centers as the battle rages on during Node/Conquest Wars, we decided to change how the centers impact the cooldown for reviving characters. Whereas previously the centers only reduced your maximum cooldown timer for revival, they will now reduce the amount of cooldown time left before your character can be revived once more. We hope this change will not only increase the strategic value of Recovery Centers but also boost the pace of battle during Node/Conquest Wars.
After this update goes live, we will keep a close eye on whether this change greatly hinders the defensive side and make adjustments accordingly.

● Improved the cooldown reduction effect applied to revival that was dependent on the number of installed Recovery Centers during Node/Conquest Wars as follows.
– Before: 6 sec reduced from the maximum revival cooldown (60 sec) per installed Recovery Center
– After: 6 sec reduced from your currently remaining revival cooldown per installed Recovery Center (up to 10 sec left on the timer.)
* Ex 1) If you have 15 seconds of cooldown remaining before you can revive again, one installed Recovery Center will reduce that timer to 10 sec.

* Ex 2) If you have 30 seconds of cooldown remaining before you can revive again, one installed Recovery Center will reduce that timer to 24 sec.    
* Details on the revival cooldown during a Node/Conquest War are as follows:
– Once a Node/Conquest War begins, the revival cooldown increases 1 sec every min and 1 sec per each death.  
– Each installed Recovery Center will reduce 6 sec from the revival cooldown timer. (The Recovery Centers’ effect will be applied once the cooldown timer is at least 60 sec.)
– The revival cooldown timer will be a minimum of 10 sec to a maximum of 60 sec for Node/Conquest Wars.
* Installed Recovery Centers will reduce the cooldown revival timer no lower than 10 seconds total.
● Changed Barricades built near the Indomitable Flag to only be installable within the Node/Conquest War region during Node/Conquest Wars.
● Fixed the issue where the font color of Adventurers in the same alliance would display abnormally during Node/Conquest Wars.
