Greetings Adventurers,

Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on December 1, 2021 (Wed). Today’s patch contains 49 updates and is approximately 1.00 GB.

 

Yar!

"Yar!" was added. Yar! is a new type of minigame that you can play with others with cards that have images of NPCs you can meet throughout the world of Black Desert. It is a simple game that was inspired by the classic games of poker and yacht.

 

It's easy to understand the rules after playing it a couple of times. The basics revolve around drawing cards a set number of times each turn in order to assemble the best hand of 5 cards to score the maximum number of points possible. You go back and forth with your opponent, committing hands to accumulate points each turn. Strategic planning and a bit of luck are both important factors in winning a game against another Adventurer in Yar!, so embrace the tides of fortune while trying to outwit your opponent.

 

We hope you'll enjoy playing Yar! with other Adventurers traveling across distant lands, as well as playing against NPCs in the Black Desert world.

● A new game is gaining popularity among the villagers of the Black Desert world. The game, "Yar!", was introduced to the villagers by a Shai girl named Yar who suddenly appeared in Velia one day.
- The "Yar!" deck consists of cards with symbols of a sun, moon, star, and flower as well as numbers 1(A) to 6.

 

- Go to ESC (New) Menu > Community (F9) > Yar! to start the game.
- Select the game mode which will determine the types of hands in play and enter the Family Name of your opponent to send an invite.

 

- When your opponent accepts your invite, the "Yar!" minigame begins!

[Yar! in a Nutshell]

"Yar!" is a minigame where you draw cards and score points based on the matching hands.

 

1. Select "Draw!" on your turn to draw cards up to a set number of times.
- Here, you can select the cards you wish to keep then re-draw the rest.

 

2. The points each hand will earn you are listed on the left side of the Yar! window.

● Changed the "[Event] Old Moon Boss Seal" so that you can store it in your Family Inventory.
● Added outfit boxes for Sage and Corsair to be obtainable by opening the Crayodel Soldier Outfit Box.

● Changed the method by which you can exchange gold bars with NPCs for 120-min buffs.
- You can exchange gold bars for buffs with the following NPCs in each city:

- Changed the items required to exchange for buffs to the following:

- Changed the effects of the 120-min buffs you can get by exchanging Gold Bar 10G x3 with the NPCs mentioned above to the following:

The "gold bar buff" used by many Adventurers was somewhat inconvenient since you would have to keep exchanging gold bars until you obtained the buffs with the highest stats. Now, you can get the best possible buffs by just handing over a fixed amount of gold bars.

● Changed to be able to connect nodes in Narvo Island and Lisz Island. 

● Improved the Agris Fever points consumed when defeating monsters in the following regions to be more efficient.

After the update on the improved loot in the Valencia territory, many of you have been going to monster zones in Valencia, such as the Pila Ku Jail and Roud Sulfur Mine. Following this update, we improved the efficiency of Agris Fever to make the Aakman Temple and Hystria Ruins more appealing.

● Increased the drop rate of Caphras Stones from monsters in Olun's Valley.

Although Olun's Valley was a monster zone designed to be the main monster zone for Caphras Stones, it became too similar to other zones as Caphras Stones were also added to other zones. Because of this, we increased the Caphras Stone drop rate in Olun's Valley to attract more Adventurers.

We increased the drop rates of "Black Magic Crystals," items required for both the guaranteed PEN (V) accessories and PEN (V) boss gear questlines, from level-appropriate mid-tier monster zones throughout the Valencia territory. We hope that this update will help many more Adventurers to progress through these questlines in order to obtain the upgrades they need. (The drop rate for Black Magic Crystals from Roud Sulfur Mine were comparatively much lower than other monster zones, so we increased their drop rate by 15,000% to match that of other zones.)

● Increased the max number of guild alliance members from 100 to 150.
- However, up to 100 members can participate in a Node/Conquest War.
- The maximum number of guilds that can join an alliance when an alliance is formed remains at 10. Guilds already occupying a node or territory cannot join an alliance.
- Also, guilds cannot join an alliance when a Node/Conquest War is in progress.
- As before, guild alliance leaders cannot allocate fewer people than their current number of guild members.
* Guilds who have accepted the Guild Alliance invite cannot accept more guild members than allowed by the alliance.
● Fixed the issue where Adventurers on Flame Towers, Enhanced Flame Towers, and Hwachas received damage from enemy attacks during Node/Conquest Wars. 

● Changed the item drop information of the "Gatekeeper" monsters of the following monster zones to not be displayed on the Item Drop Information UI.

● Changed the time to be displayed in groups of two digits (00:00) when using the 1:1 Chat with a friend.
● Changed the icon for the Black Desert Video Guide button on the upper right of the screen.
● Added a key guide for the Close Window option on the bottom of the Progression Pass Objectives UI in gamepad UI mode.

● Changed the switched equipment to only be displayed on the Dye UI when switching equipment through your Inventory on the Dye (J) window. 

● Improved the text of certain system mail.
● Fixed the issue where failed login attempts would display the region as "unknown."

● Fixed the issue where the guard protecting the "Old Moon's Secret Stash" was blocking the road.
● Fixed the issue where the description displayed when interacting with the "Old Moon's Secret Stash" would be incorrect.
● Fixed the issue where the Create Season Character UI would be displayed when creating a premium character after graduating.
● Fixed the issue where you couldn't use the Use Cron Stone button after using the Courser Training function in gamepad UI mode.
● Fixed the issue where the description on the number of guild alliance members would appear abnormally when checking the Guild Alliance tab on the Guild (G) window the guild is not in an alliance.
● Fixed the issue where the icons of Stabilized Magical Black Stone, Cleansed Magical Black Stone, and Pure Magical Black Stone were not displayed on the Crafting Notes (F2) window.
● Fixed the issue where the Skill Demo UI would not close when your character dies while the Skill Demo function is activated on the Skill (K) window.
● Changed to check the box for "J's Hammer of Loyalty" on the Enhancement UI when it gets selected.
● Fixed the issue where certain dyes would appear unnatural on certain parts of the [Tamer] Marnist Armor.
● Fixed the issue where the gloves part of the [Ranger] Valoren Outfit would not be displayed.
● Fixed the issue where the color for certain occupied territories would be displayed abnormally with the Node filter on the World Map (M) UI.
