Blackstar Shoes
● Added the new defense gear, Blackstar Shoes.
| Icon | Item name |

Blackstar Shoes |
● Added 'Max HP +100' to the Blackstar Armor 4-Set Effect.
* Changes in Min & Max prices of Blackstar Shoes registered in the Central Market will be reflected faster than other gear for a 2-week period after April 14 (Wed) maintenance.
● Added the Blackstar Shoes crafting questline.
- You can complete the Blackstar Shoes crafting questline once per character.
- To start the Blackstar Shoes crafting questline, you will need the 'Remnants of the Rift,' which has a low chance to drop from Dark Rifts, and 'The Three Legendary Blacksmiths of Mediah' knowledge. In addition, you will also need the 'Specter's Energy,' a special ingredient which also has a low chance to drop from monsters all over the world of Black Desert. 'Specter's Energy' has a slightly higher chance to drop from monsters in Thornwood Forest.
- 'Remnants of the Rift' has a low chance to drop from Dark Rift bosses.
- To learn 'The Three Legendary Blacksmiths of Mediah' knowledge, you will require a Lv. 56 or higher character who has already completed the revamped Mediah main questline, then accept and complete the 'The Three Blacksmiths' quest from Tulem. Adventurers who've previously completed the quest can interact with Tulem to gain the knowledge.
- This questline has a crossroads quest in the middle. Veteran adventurers can choose to face the powerful boss immediately, while other adventurers can opt to fight a weaker boss to complete the quest.
Event
New and Improvements
● Detonative Flow - Fixed the issue where you couldn't combo straight to Flow: Magical Evasion and Teleport after using the skill.
● Fixed the issue where playing an instrument while under the effects of a debuff would cancel the debuff.
● Added Skill Enhancement - Rabam's Enlightenment
- Sage can obtain his first Enhanced Skill at Lv. 56 or higher, and the second at Lv. 57 or higher.
- Sage must learn the preceding skills to learn the Enhanced Skills.
- Sage can only learn one of the two Enhanced Skills available per level.
The enhanced skills for level 56 and 57 were released. The concept behind these skills was for Adventurers to pick between PvE or PvP focused skills. First, the level 56 enhanced skills. The PvE skill is Ator's Palm. It has a slow casting time but hits a large area with big damage. Then we have the PvP skill Ator's Illusion, which can stun opponents instantly. Next, the level 57 enhanced skills. Energized Thorn is a ranged skill ideal for PvE that hits a large area and melts enemies. On the other hand, we have Piercing Thorn. Like its name, it pierces through the enemies in its path and knocks them down. As for making improvements for Sage, we have changed some of the commands so you will be able to use the skills you intended to use instead of the Flow skills. You will also be pleased to hear that we are currently working hard on Sage's Awakening and will be revealing more soon.● Rift Chain - Fixed the following phenomenon: Use a skill > Rift Chain during the skill > Hit by debuff during attack animation after Rift Chain > Use Rift Chain at the end of debuff > First skill activates
● Form Shift - Improved to activate first when pressing W + RMB while Sprinting.
● Ator's Energy - Improved to activate Realm of Anguish with S + RMB after using the skill.
● Flow: Finishing Touch, Flow: Illusion Detonation - Fixed the issue where hits would not apply when rapidly rotating the camera while using the skills.
● Ator's Thorn - Fixed the issue where using the skill while mounted would apply a Critical Hit Rate buff.
● Spatial Collapse - Improved to activate Ator's Energy and Spatial Fissure first when pressing S + LMB and Shift + LMB after using the skill, respectively.
● Illusion Expansion - Improved to activate Ator's Fist and Spatial Collapse first when pressing W + F and S + F through Rift Chain, respectively, after using the skill.
● Ator's Energy - Fixed the issue where Atomagia would intermittently not activate through Rift Chain after using the skill.
● Ator's Thorn - Fixed the issue where Ator's Thorn would disappear after attempting certain motions when using the skill while mounted.
● Realm of Anguish, Black Spirit: Ator's Mark - Using these skills during the Old Moon Grand Prix will no longer bring out damage-dealing summons.
● Realm of Anguish, Form Shift, Void Gateways - Changed the skills so that they would be activated faster after Ator's Energy
Item
● Added to the message that appears when you open a PRI (I) – TET (IV) Kzarka's Sealed Weapon Box, Dandelion Weapon Box, Nouver's Sealed Sub-weapon Box, and Kutum's Sealed Sub-weapon Box, to display the enhancement level (PRI (I) – TET (IV)) of the gear obtained.
● Added information regarding the success rates of learning individual skills to show when using Theiah's Orb to change your fairy's skills.
We added a feature that will allow you to view the probability of learning each skill when you use Theiah's Orb to change your fairy's skills. The probabilities shown were rounded up to the thousandths, and so may not add up to an even 100%. We are currently working to add the same feature to Mount Skill Change Coupons, Premium Horse Appearance Change Coupons, and Worker Promotion Completion as soon as possible. ● Added the following line to the item descriptions of [Mystic] Rakshande Armor and [Mystic] Rakshande Oufit Set:
