Greetings, Adventurers!
The Patch Notes for the update on May 11 (Tuesday) are here!
In this update, we’ve added new content, events, bug fixes, and overall improvements to the game.
See below for more details about this update.
※ All screenshots were taken from the test environment and may differ from what appears in the live server.
If you find something in-game that's different from the Patch Notes, please feel free to contact the support center.
■ Treasure System
| Developer’s Comment: We are all familiar with alluring and mysterious artifacts, like the Holy Grail with its miraculous properties, the One Ring which brings about both power and destruction, or the Magic Lamp and its three wishes. In the Black Desert world, legendary treasures are both a romantic tribute to stories that have a special place in our hearts and an incentive to adventure! In contrast to action-based calls to adventure in the other content, "Orzeca's Treasure" will let you be more in tune with your sentimental side. The first treasure of this update is Ornette's Blessed Potion. This potion, blessed by the spirits, will recover 1000 HP for the adventurer. What's more, the potion will refill instantly upon use. If you are one of the many Adventurers who are enticed by the endless healing power of this treasure, build “Orzeca's Garden” in your camp and look for the clues there. But beware that when looking for a valuable treasure like this, you are beginning a difficult journey. The world is vast and there are many lost and forgotten Treasures to be found. New treasures will be added in the future and the acquisition difficulty of each will depend on the treasure's effects. We know this might be unfamiliar territory, as it is quite different from our previous content, but we hope that it can be a refreshing new adventure for everyone! |
- Added Orzeca's Treasure System.
· You can start working on finding the Treasure after building Orzeca's Garden in your Camp. Building Orzeca's Garden requires a Tier 8 Town Hall.
· Follow the clues in Orzeca's Garden to find all the material needed to obtain Orzeca's Treasure.
▷ Ornette's Blessed Potion
· You can pass along Ornette's Blessed Potion to other characters in your family using the Camp Storage.
■ Great Desert Renewal
| Developer's Comment: With new content added after the Great Desert update, putting in the time to explore and adventure in the desert seems to have become more difficult, to a point where taking advantage of the daily free Purified Water (40 minutes) would feel burdensome to some Adventurers. The Great Desert renewal shortens the maximum desert adventure time with better available rewards. We hope that this will be of help to Adventurers enjoying the diverse content that Black Desert has to offer! |
- Modified the Great Desert difficulty; the existing level has been renamed 'Desert: Imur'.
- Adventurers who have completed the family quest 'the Opening of the Desert' will have access to the 'Desert: Imur' difficulty level.
ㆍAdventurers who ended their previous session in the Great Desert have been moved to a nearby town.
ㆍThough Desert: Imur Temples and Great Temples have the same suggested CP as the Great Desert before renewal, available EXP and Silver have been increased.
- Modified the maximum adventure time in the Great Desert to 5 hours.
- Reduced the Great Desert time granted by Purified Water by half.
- The Great Desert adventure time for the first entry has been changed to 1 hour.
ㆍ Any remaining Purified water from before the maintenance will grant half its previous Great Desert time. (40 minutes → 20 minutes)

ㆍ Increased how much [Edana's Coin] and EXP are obtained when defeating enemies in Great Desert, and doubled the chance of obtaining items such as Skillbooks, Broken Trumpet, Ancient Seed, etc.

ㆍ Increased how much [Edana's Coin] are obtained, as well as the probability of gaining higher grade Runes, when appraising Great Desert Appraisal Items.
ㆍ Increased how much [Edana's Coin] are obtained, as well as the possibility of obtaining higher grade Runes, from Desert Spoils.
ㆍ Doubled the stamina required for offering to the Black Rock Altar and removed the possibility of obtaining Temple Entry Pass. Improved the obtainable rewards accordingly.
ㆍImproved the sales price of some Great Desert items.
※ Items:

- Removed Adventurers' Temple Entry Pass and available Temple Additional Entries.
- Doubled the Edana's Coin offering price and offering rewards for the Black Rock Altar Shrine appearing upon defeating Laytenn and Tukar Laytenn.
ㆍThis change will be applied after maintenance expected on May 18. (Updated on May 11)
- The items required for the Collection section 'Endless Desert' can be acquired in 'Desert: Imur'.
- If you have a character in the Great Desert, you cannot enter the Great Desert with another Family Character.
ㆍ This does not apply if you left the character in an Oasis.
- After moving from Great Desert to Lobby, Arena, Boss Rush, etc. or exiting the game, your character will be moved to the stage before the Great Desert.
ㆍImproved the rates for obtaining [Edana's Coin], Silver, Skillbooks, and higher-grade Runes in Field of Valor: Desert.

Temple of Luinass: Added 5 minutes to the total time until it finishes. Temple of Desterio: Removed the reward for partial destruction of the Sea Turtle Statue. To complete the quest and receive the reward you will have to destroy all parts. Temple of Shayla: Changed the internal structure and location, and the way the quest is carried out. Added 5 minutes to the total time until it finishes. Temple of Ohm: Modified the CP requirement and enabled the auto-gather function. |
ㆍ(Auto-gather in Temple of Ohm) While in quick slot combat mode, swipe on the auto-combat button to use the auto-gather function.( Updated on May 11)

■ New Constellations
| Developer's Comment: We thank you for the abundance of positive feedback on the new Constellation mode. With this update, we have added 3 new Constellations: the Giant, which symbolizes dreams and hard work; the Black Dragon, which symbolizes sensitivity, sociability, and a gentle power over others; and the Goblin, which symbolizes eloquence, worldly greed, and wit. Restore light to the new Constellations and collect rewards! |

■ Multi-Play System
| Developer's Comment: We bring to you the long-awaited multi-play system, which allows you to enjoy different types of game content while in auto-hunt mode! What is the multi-play system? The multi-play system allows adventurers to partake in activities such as Arena, Ramoness, and Merchantry while continuing auto-hunt or auto-gathering in the background and obtaining items and EXP. We hope that the addition of this system will allow you to enjoy other game modes and not limit yourself to field hunting for the sake of character growth. |
- Added a new system to allow Adventurers to continue field hunting and auto-log/mine/forage while participating in Arena and Ramoness.
- Auto-log/mine/forage in this mode is only available when you have enough Stamina.
※ Auto-gathering will cease when you run out of Stamina.
- Access to Camp and Merchantry is now possible during Auto-hunt and gathering.
- If multi-play is not maintained for 3 minutes after entering the Camp, no Stamina will be consumed and no EXP or items will be gained.
- The system should be active for at least 3 minutes for it to count towards any quest's completion requirement.
- However, if your CP is lower than the target NPC or you somehow do not meet the requirements after 3 minutes, it will not apply.
- The Multi-Play system is not available during Boss Rush, Ancient Ruins, or Field of Valor: Desert.
- You can access Arena, Ramoness, Camp, and Merchantry while Auto-hunting in Hadum as well.
■ Content Open Requirements
| Developer's Comment: With the wealth of different content available to the players, we are continuously working on improving how we introduce the different aspects of the game to new Adventurers. Our content unlocking system has various requirements such as character level, CP, and main quests, so that adventurers can better learn the game without feeling overwhelmed. Our future content will also be unlockable sequentially based on the main quest progress, which is the core of the game. The convenience features will continue to be based on the Black Spirit’s level. If you press <Open Requirement> located at the bottom left of the main menu, you can check the details for different game modes in one page. We will continue to work on improving your gaming experience! |
