Patch Notes - July 7, 2021
Greetings Adventurers,
Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on July 7, 2021 (Wed). Today’s patch contains 112 updates and is approximately 1.43 GB.
New and Improvements
● Flashing Light - Fixed the issue where the backward movement of the skill would be shorter if it was used after a particular motion of Bloodthirst: Katana Shower.
A fundamental element of Corsair's movement skills is the way Smooth Sailin' combos with the Mareca Swing. However, the cooldown of Smooth Sailin' was disrupting the natural fluidity of these movements, so we decided to make Smooth Sailin' usable during cooldown in order to improve its fluidity and make the skill more dynamic. On top of that, skills that couldn't be chained after movement skills (such as Smooth Sailin' or Riding Waves), were changed to allow them to be comboable. Corsair's unique moveset can now inflict more aggressive attacks. We also felt Mermaid skills were weak when it came to combos. So, we made changes to allow smoother comboing with other skills and also adjusted their attack range to make them easier to perform. We also tweaked the Whirling Slash and Storm Surge skills as these attacks were difficult to land on targets. We noticed it was particularly difficult to land hits with Whirling Slash as it didn't have any collision, so we changed this skill to include collisions when performed while moving forward. This will enable forward-moving attacks to land on targets more easily, but be aware that the sideway attacks will still not include collision with targets. As for Storm Surge, we removed the start-up motion so that the skill activates quicker.
● Fixed the issue where she would not start auto-running when T is pressed while stopping to move forward in combat stance.
● Storm Surge - Improved to combo smoother with skills and movements.
● Wipe Out - Fixed the issue where pressing the commands for the skill after using Splashin' Around and Mareca: Jet Stream would activate Overflow instead.
● Flow: After the Storm - Improved to be able to combo with the skills Whirlpool, Crashing Wave, and Mareca: Spiral Soak.
● Flow: After the Storm - Fixed the issue where pressing the commands for the skill after the 2nd hit of Wave Lash would activate Crashing Wave.
● Prime: Wave Lash II - Fixed the issue where the damage reduction was not being applied when using the skill while sprinting or when comboing after Riding Waves.
● Wave Lash - Changed to no longer move forward when using the skill while sprinting.
● Mareca: Sea Stroll, Prime: Mareca: Sea Stroll - Changed how the camera moves to turn towards the character before the last hit.
● Smooth Sailin' - Improved to combo smoothly with Wave Lash when using the skill left or right.
● Riding Waves - Changed to now combo into Wave Lash and Ocean's Pearl regardless of the direction in which the skill was used.
● Smooth Sailin' - Improved to be usable while on cooldown.
● Prime: Wave Lash I-IV - Fixed the issue where the sound effect would not be played when using the skills during their cooldown.
● Mareca: Sea Stroll I-Absolute - Fixed the issue where the last hit would not be performed even when ↓ key was pressed during the skills.
● Improved her motion to appear smoother when stopping to move in combat stance.
● Changed the damage of the following skills.
| Skills | Before | After |
| Absolute: Storm Surge | 1088% x 1, Max 5 Hits, 1088% x 4 | 938% x 1, Max 5 Hits, 938% x 4 |

| Absolute: Ocean Melancholy | 1090% x 1, Max 8 Hits | 948% x 1, Max 8 Hits |
| Prime: Ocean Melancholy | 720% x 1, Max 8 Hits | 767% x 1, Max 8 Hits |
● Flow: Squall - Changed to activate when used during cooldown.
● Crashing Wave - Changed to activate Storming Gale when holding the commands Shift + F when the skill is on cooldown.
● Whirling Slash - Changed to have no collision until the rope is thrown when the skill is used while moving sideways.
● Ocean's Pearl, Mareca: Whale Song - Adjusted the attack range to be able to hit targets near and to the side of the character.
● Splashin' Around - Fixed the issue where the character would attack diagonally when pressing left, right, or back while using the skill.
● Storm Surge - Improved to cast faster by shortening its initial motion.
● Changed some of the camera effects during Black Spirit's Training.
● Fixed the issue where the effect would remain on the serenaca when using Emergency Escape after certain skills.
● Fixed the issue where the sound the character made seemed close when using skills with the mareca at a distance.
● Prime: Mareca: Jet Stream - Improved to combo with Mareca: Whale Song and Mareca: Spiral Soak smoothly after using the skill.
● Prime: Mareca: Spiral Soak - Improved to combo with Mareca: Whale Song after the 2nd hit of the skill.

Item
● Added the [Corsair] Maretakant Classic Set (7 Days) to the [Event] Classic Outfit Box (7 Days), an item given to new Adventurers as a login reward.
● Changed the item descriptions of Succession Classic Box, [Event] Succession Classic Box to list each of the outfits obtainable for each class in detail.
● Increased the DP by 1 on Naru Sub-weapons between the enhancement levels of 0-3.
● Added more information to the item '[Season] Boss Gear Exchange Coupon.'
● The weights of the five different materials needed to enhance Naru and Tuvala gear were reduced to 0.1LT per x1,000.
| Items |
| Time-filled Black Stone Refined Magical Black Stone Tuvala Ore Beginner Black Stone (Weapon) Beginner Black Stone (Armor) |
Keeping enhancement materials for your Tuvala Gear in your inventory feels better than placing them in your storage, since you would naturally want to use them when you're ready to enhance. However, keeping a hefty amount of these materials on you can place quite the burden on your character. Thus, we decided to adjust their weight (0.1 LT per 1,000 items) to be less cumbersome.
Contents
● Behr, the village of hunters, is filled with rumors of new and rare hunting monsters.
- Bears that hunt for large beehives made by bees somewhere in the world of Black Desert.
- Hyenas that stray from their clans and strike fear into the hearts of merchant guilds who travel across the desert trails.
- Peculiar llamas that marvel at the starry night sky.

● Fixed the issue where the Damage Reduction effect of the guild skill 'Flame of Protection' was only applying the Melee Damage Reduction to apply Melee, Ranged, and Magic Damage Reduction.

Summer Season
● Changed the following when doing the simplified quests in the Summer Season Server.
- Changed the simplified quest from 'acceptable once per family' to accepted by any season character. This was changed after Adventurers gave us their feedback about wanting to do the simplified quests again after deleting or transferring a season character.
- Changed the Valencia main questline prerequisite from '[Special Growth] Fughar's Memorandum - Chapter 11' to '[Special Growth] Fughar's Memorandum - Chapter 8.' This quest can be accepted once the character reaches Lv. 56.
- Changed the way the simplified questline begins. Instead of using 'Fughar's Memorandum,' you will now talk to the Black Spirit (,) to accept and complete these quests. As a result, the 'Fughar's Memorandum' items have been removed.
- Added more objectives to complete the simplified questline. Now you will need to talk to Black Spirit Black Spirit (,) after reaching a certain level to complete the quest. By talking to Black Spirit (,), you will be able to fulfill certain main questline progression depending on how far you have completed the simplified questline as well as complete the related Season Pass objectives.
- Fixed the issue where the objectives on the Season Pass were not achieved when completing the simplified questline. Adventurers can now talk to Black Spirit (,) to complete the objectives on the Season Pass. This will also allow Adventurers to accept the questlines 'Legendary Blacksmith' and 'Mysterious Companion.'
- Increased the amount of Beginner Black Stone (Weapon/Armor) given as rewards for completing the simplified questline by double. This also applies to Adventurers that have already completed the simplified questlines.
- Fixed the issue where certain social actions could not be obtained when progressing through the simplified questline.
● Changed the simplified quest so that you do not get the reward '[Season] Secret Book of the Misty Breeze' when completing the simplified questline after changing the character to a normal character.
- The item '[Season] Secret Book of the Misty Breeze' is a season character exclusive item. It cannot be used by normal characters.
● Fixed the issue where the item 'PRI (I) Tuvala Awakening Weapon Box' could be obtained by completing the awakening questline on a normal character.
● Improved the quest UI to now display the [Crossroads] window when choosing between Main or Simplified Questlines.
● With the addition of the Crossroads window to choose between the Main and Simplified questlines, you can no longer opt into the Simplified questline if you complete the Balenos Main Questline upon finishing ''The Sage of Velia'' quest.
* This condition applies to all season characters including those who've gone through the Transferal process via ''Fughar's Timepiece.''
* We're aware of the issue where the Main Questline appears abnormally for season characters who've gone through the Transferal process via ''Fughar's Timepiece.'' You'll need to select and proceed with the quest immediately after the latest one you've completed in your Quest (O) window via the Main tab, and this issue will be fixed by July 14 (Wed) maintenance.
● Defeating the following monsters on the Season Server have a low chance to draw out Afuaru.
- Defeat Afuaru to obtain Tuvala Ore or Refined Magical Black Stones, along with a low chance to get a 'Frozen Tides Black Stone,' an item which grants guaranteed TET (IV) to PEN (V) enhancement of Tuvala gear.
| [Skittish] Afuaru Zones | |
| Desert Naga Temple Bashim Base Crescent Shrine Titium Valley Roud Sulfur Mine Pila Ku Jail Manshaum Forest Fadus Habitat Polly's Forest Tshira Ruins Blood Wolf Settlement |
Sherekhan Necropolis (Day) Sherekhan Necropolis (Night) Cadry Ruins Taphtar Plain Gahaz Bandit's Lair Navarn Steppe Mirumok Ruins Protty Cave Forest Ronaros Sycraia Underwater Ruins (Upper) Marie Cave (Traitor's Graveyard) |
Season servers will now have their own exclusive version of Afuaru. Up until now, Afuaru served as a breath of fresh air for Adventurers while they were defeating monsters on the normal server, for he had a chance to drop some of the 'best' items in the game. And now, Afuaru has a whole new bag of goodies to be plundered from as he makes an appearance in various locations throughout the season servers. Afuaru in the season server will drop either Refined Magical Black Stones or Tuvala Ores, along with the rare chance to drop the much-coveted 'Frozen Tides Black Stone.' The 'Frozen Tides Black Stone' will grant guaranteed TET (IV) to PEN (V) enhancement for Tuvala gear. Starting from this week, he will first appear in normal monster zones, while in the upcoming week, he is scheduled to make an appearance in monster zones recommended for parties on the season server (i.e. Shultz Guard, Basilisks, etc.) as well.- The quest can now be completed by season characters from Lv. 25 or higher.
● Changed [Season] Crow Merchants Guild Contribution Certificate I/II items to now be bound to Family instead of Character.
- With this change, it is now possible to move [Season] Crow Merchants Guild Contribution Certificate I/II items, once bound to normal characters, within your Family.
* Only season characters or characters who've gone through a Transferal with Fughar's Timepiece can accept the daily quests from [Season] Crow Merchants Guild Contribution Certificate I/II.
- Completed the [Pet] Bareeds' Junaid and The Sage of Velia quests
- Have not started or completed the Embarking on an Adventure quest
* If you wish to go through the original main questline instead of the [Special Growth] Birth of a Prestigious Family questline, you can forfeit the questline and complete the Embarking on an Adventure quest.
* Reconnecting to the game before you accept or complete the Embarking on an Adventure quest will make you automatically accept the [Special Growth] Birth of a Prestigious Family. You can forfeit this quest to begin the original main questline.
● The 2021 Summer Season's special reward is a PEN (V) Capotia Necklace.
- You can exchange the reward with a 'Season Special Gift Exchange Coupon,' which you'll be able to use upon graduating from the season.
- Information about the special quest for obtaining the 'Season Special Gift Exchange Coupon' will be revealed in a future update.
- The 2021 Summer Season will be the last season to award special seasonal rewards.
- Adventurers who graduate from this Summer Season will be rewarded with either a PEN (V) Capotia Necklace for the 2021 Summer Season, or choose from a previously missed seasonal reward item. Adventurers who weren't able to obtain all of the past seasonal rewards will be able to collect one for each time they graduate from a future season server.

The special rewards for graduating from a season were implemented since the first Summer Season as a means to help new Adventurers adjust to the game. From PEN (V) Capotia accessories to Perilla's Star, many of our Adventurers were gracious in showing their support for these rewards. We seek to continue with that tradition in this Summer Season as well, and decided to award the final, remaining slot to the PEN (V) Capotia accessory collection with the necklace. We hope that this would be a meaningful reward not just for new Adventurers, but to our existing Adventurers as well. However, we have no plans to continue the tradition of special season rewards after this season's PEN (V) Capotia Necklace. Still, we will continue with providing seasonal servers in the future, and will provide a 'Season Special Gift Exchange Coupon' for new Adventurers who graduate from the season. Also, existing Adventurers who've yet to complete all of the past seasons will have an opportunity to obtain these coupons in future seasons up until they collect all of the special rewards. While the tradition of special rewards for the season comes to a close, we will continue to deliberate and work hard on updating the seasons for the sake of both our new Adventurers adjusting and our veteran Adventurers as well. Season Servers were quite the new attempt for us as well, and we will continue to think long and hard about how to further their appeal, so please look forward to their development. Thank you.
