Greetings Adventurers,

Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on August 17, 2022 (Wed). Today’s patch contains 72 updates and is approximately 916.08 MB.

Cadry Ruins
- Fire's Warmth will arise from the brazier every so often, and a damage-dealing object will spawn in a random location around the center.

Jade Starlight Forest 

● Improved to now display clearly when an Adventurer obtains a "traces of elements" buff.
- This buff effect will be visible by all Adventurers, allies and foes alike.

We're increasing the max level of your fairy and adding an additional quality-of-life improving skill, "Continuous Care."

Continuous Care can be learned by a Radiant Fairy, who will be able to automatically consume from 5 to 20 different food, draught, elixir, perfume, and scroll items. Your fairy will be able to save 3 presets with this skill, so Adventurers will be able to have separate presets for PvE, PvP, and Life Skills, if so desired. Like Agris Fever, this skill can be easily toggled on/off, so you can turn it off if you don't need your fairy to automatically feed you the items you selected.

Some of your fairy's "unpopular" skills now have a reduced chance to be learned with the addition of Continuous Care, while other more "popular" skills, such as Miraculous Cheer V and Feathery Steps V retain their previous odds of being learned. At the same, we designed Continuous Care so that Adventurers won't feel pressured to attain the V rank version of the skill.

Under the "Continuous Care" of your fairy, we hope that you enjoy this quality-of-life improvement in Black Desert.

● Increased the fairy's max level from 40 to 50.
- Once you reach Lv. 50 with your fairy, she will gain one additional skill slot.
* When your fairy reached Lv. 50, she will be able to learn an additional skill according to a set probability.

● Added the "Continuous Care" skill, which can be learned by a "Radiant" Fairy.

Skill Name	Skill Effect
Continuous Care I	Auto-use 5 items
Continuous Care II	Auto-use 8 items
Continuous Care III	Auto-use 12 items
Continuous Care IV	Auto-use 16 items
Continuous Care V	Auto-use 20 items

- A Radiant Fairy can learn Continuous Care from Lv. 10.
- Once your fairy learns Continuous Care, the "Auto-use Settings" button will appear in the fairy UI.
- You can use this function to designate certain items to be automatically consumed when they're not in use.
- The following items can be designated for auto-use. The skill rank of Continuous Care will determine the amount of items you can designate at any given moment.

Types of Items	Notes
Cron Meals / Food	Automatically consumes selected food items.
Draughts / Elixirs	Automaticlly consumes selected draughts and elixirs.  * Only 1 type of draught at a time.
Perfumes	Automatically consumes one type of selected perfume item.
Scrolls	Automatically uses selected scroll. * Selecting higher grades of a scroll will remove lower grade selections.

● Selecting different items with the same effect for auto-use will automatically consume the selected item even if the effects of the previous item are still active.
* ex) If the effects of "[Event] Beast's Draught" are active, but you select "Beast's Draught" and toggle "Auto-use" ON, your family will immediately use the selected "Beast Draught" even though the "[Event] Beast's Draught" effects are still active.
