Patch Notes - April 27, 2022
Greetings Adventurers,
Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on April 27, 2022 (Wed). Today’s patch contains 152 updates and is approximately 959.28 MB.
Improvements to Pet Looting
We're implementing the improvements to how pets loot items as we mentioned during CalpheON - Episode 2. The pre-existing system was where your pets would follow your character's movements while looting along the way. However, this would make it so that the more your character moved, the slower your pets would loot. Many of our Adventurers gave us consistent feedback on this matter, so we looked into many different ways to improve this system through much deliberation and testing. Thus, we ended up modifying your pets to now prioritize looting items over movement. After the update, regardless of how fast your character moves, you will find your pets looting most of the items they may have previously missed, and we've also made your pet's looting ability no longer affect other pet abilities such as finding rare monsters or detecting enemy players.- Pets will now prioritize looting items over following your character, especially when you're on the move.
- Pet abilities such as finding rare monsters, detecting rare monsters and resources, etc. will no longer interfere with your pets' looting in any shape or form.

Improvements for Serendia Elvia Realm
We've added the improvements and changes regarding the spirit weapons in Serendia Elvia Realm as we mentioned during CalpheON - Episode 2. We've increased the spawn rate of spirit weapons for all monster zones and monsters ranging from 2 to 35 times more than before. There are three types of spirit weapons which are all "one-time use items," and each were designed while considering the unique characteristics of each monster zone of the Elvia Realm. After the initial update, while many Adventurers enjoyed utilizing these weapons, there were complaints that the weapon spawns weren't bound to the individual, as well as the difference in loot gained that was largely dependent on how long you retained a spirit weapon in your possession. In response, we made a few adjustments in hopes of preserving the original design while supporting our Adventurers in the process.
First off, spirit weapons will prioritize being bound first to you and your party members. We hope this makes it less stressful when a spirit weapon first spawns, and some Adventurers may be able to use this to their strategic advantage.
We greatly increased their spawn rate so our Adventurers will be able to enjoy a steady pace of obtaining the spirit weapon buff while fighting monsters in the Elvia Realm zones. However, to make sure all Adventurers have a fair chance of obtaining a spirit weapon, we added a 10-minute cooldown. Once you finish using the spirit weapon (for 10 minutes), you won't be able to obtain another one for 10 minutes. Certain Adventurers may find themselves obtaining the spirit weapon buff less frequently than before, but we hope you understand that we made these changes so everyone has an equal fighting chance.
We added the "Extra AP Against Monsters +3" effect to be applied while the Blessing of the Elvia Spirits buff is in effect to increase combat effectiveness during other spirit weapon buffs' cooldown Also, we increased the quantity of Predator's Roots obtainable from daily quests in the Elvia Realm to slightly increase opportunities that allow you to start defeating monsters with your spirit weapon ready in advance.
After the update, we feel that the overall vibe of the Elvia Realm monster zones will change, and we will continue to play and test them ourselves to make sure we maintain the uniqueness of these zones.
- The ancient spirits Valtarra, Okiara, and Narc will now only grant their blessing to Adventurers and members of their party who initially summoned the spirits. (Not applicable to platoons, party members must be in your party before the spirit spawns.)
- Receiving the "Blessing of the Elvia Spirits" will apply the "Reminiscence of the Elvia Spirits" effect simultaneously, which will prevent you from obtaining another "Blessing" buff while under the effects of "Reminiscence."
- Thus, once your blessing of the Elvia ancient spirits ends, you will need to wait for 10 minutes until you can receive a new "Blessing."
- The "Blessing of the Elvia Spirits" and "Reminiscence of the Elvia Spirits" effects' cooldown timers will not continue to tick down while you’re logged out of the game.
Blessings of the Ancient Spirits
- The Elvia ancient spirits will appear to be resisting the energies of Hadum once they have 1 minute left before hiding their presence once more.
● The ancient spirits in Serendia Elvia Realm will now whisper encouraging buffs to Adventurers nearby.
- You can obtain the "Whispers of Elvia Realm Spirits" buff, applied equally to both main and awakening weapons, by interacting with any spawned ancient spirit.
- The "Whispers of Elvia Realm Spirits" buff grants Extra AP Against Monsters +3 for 5 minutes, and it is separate from the "Blessings" and "Reminiscence of the Elvia Spirits" buffs.
- Once you've interacted with an ancient spirit and received their "Whispers" buff, the spirit will hide their presence as before.
We've made changes to the drop rates and combat balance in the Elvia Realm monster zones. We particularly focused on making adjustments so there wouldn't be huge discrepancies in the amount of loot obtained across all the monster zones. We felt that we needed to hash this aspect out first in order for Adventurers to feel that they had a broader variety of choice in these monster zones. And so, we've made a few large changes.
First, we adjusted the optimal AP levels for all Elvia Realm monster zones. To lessen the discrepancy regarding loot between monster zones, Adventurers with AP levels closest to the optimal levels will now see the most efficiency compared to those with AP much higher than the optimal levels. We hope this adjustment will encourage Adventurers to seek out the monster zone best suited to their current AP levels.
With the improved spirit weapons increasing the potential number of monsters you can defeat, we've re-adjusted the loot drops. Whereas before the spawn rate for spirit weapons and profits gained from loot obtained varied depending on each monster zone, we increased the maximum lootable amount of Seed of Void, Valtarra's Flame, Okiara's Tide, and Narc's Lightning items that are used to reform Blackstar gear to balance the potential profits obtainable throughout monster zones in the Serendia Elvia Realm.
We made quite a few impactful changes with spirit weapons, combat balance, drop rates, and pet behavior AI, which we expect will address what was lacking in all Elvia Realm monster zones excluding Orc Camp. We will keep a close eye to see how these balance changes unfold and make further tweaks as we see fit. With these improvements to the Elvia Realm monster zones, we hope to continue developing and make improvements so that all of our Adventurers will enjoy the freedom to choose from a wide variety of monster zones to battle monsters in.

New and Improvements
Character
● Improved your character's movements to appear more natural when transitioning from walking/running (Caps/Scroll Lock) to auto-run.
In the process of rebooting Tamer, we focused on enhancing her representation and unique combat style by increasing the utilization of Heilang. After the reboot, many Adventurers have been enjoying combat with the improved utilization of Heilang. However, Adventurers playing other classes as well as Adventurers playing Tamer have given us feedback on how only the skill Roaring is used while mounted on a horse. We thought a lot about this situation and came to the conclusion that it does require some improvement and change. First of all, the overall cooldown was reduced for the skill Prime: Roaring, but it was changed to not be activated during cooldown. Instead, the skill effects of Prime: Roaring were adjusted to be applied in other skills as well since it is an important skill on the ground as well. Also, adjustments were made to work as a substitute when Roaring cannot be activated such as skill combos or improvements on utilization so that you can deal damage enough. Due to this adjustment, you'll no longer be able to use only Roaring while mounted like you could before. This might be slightly disappointing for many Adventurers playing Tamer, but we thought it was a necessary improvement, considering future updates including Pet AI improvements and the development of Tier 5 pets, etc. and in the long run. We ask for our Tamer Adventurers to be understanding of this. We will continue to check and make improvements even after the update.- The cooldown was changed as follows:
* Roaring (I to VI), Absolute: Roaring - 25/24.5/24/23/22/20/20 sec → 14/13/12/11/10/9/9 sec

We've added two new Prime skills for Drakania with today's update. Designed for either solo or combo use, these skills will bring about a slight change to Drakania's overall PvE and PvP skillset.For PvE, the addition of these Prime skills bring about a more completed feel to Drakania's Succession, along with boosting its functionality. "Prime: Sundering Claw" is particularly useful during the down time when powerful ion-consuming skills such as Blazing Strike or Brimbolt Strike are on cooldown, while "Prime: Ascent" can deal great area of effect damage when comboed after skills with limited movement/control such as Markthanan's Scale or Flourish.
For PvP, the addition of these Prime skills bring about a noticeable change. The added skills each have Forward Guard and Super Armor, respectively, which not only grant safer means of dealing damage, but also reduce the focus on dealing damage with Brimbolt Strike alone. We've also changed Brimbolt Raze's “All Accuracy increase” buff to now activate on Skewer hits. We originally designed Drakania to be capable of maintaining a higher level of accuracy, but we felt her accuracy buffs were a bit too good so we felt this was a necessary balance change. While some of you may miss retaining such accuracy increase buffs as before, we hope you understand that we added these Prime skills to better balance the class. We will continue to keep an eye on Drakania for PvP even after the patch and make adjustments where needed.
