Greetings Adventurers,

Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on March 16, 2022 (Wed). Today’s patch contains 62 updates and is approximately 1.05 GB.

● Gushing Waters - Changed to prioritize activating Wolf's Frenzy or Spiral Torpedo when pressing SHIFT + F or W + F after using the skill.

● Made the following improvements to how summoning works with the item Pila Fe Scroll:

* The summon scrolls can still be used via the old method where the party leader just summons the boss.
- The Faded Ancient Relic has up to five different "stages" in which monsters can be summoned. The required amount of scrolls and recommended AP per stage are as follows.

* The difficulty of the boss is determined by the number of scrolls used regardless of the size of your party. In other words, we strongly recommend you bring as many party members as you can.

We have improved the guild combat missions. Before, the completion rewards were different even if the size limitations were the same, depending on the number of monsters the mission required the guild to kill. Therefore, we have improved the mission rewards to scale based on guild size, lowered the number of monsters for the unpopular missions, cleared out some of the regular missions, and added new missions. However, the guild boss subjugation missions that require the guild boss summons were kept the same.

● Changed the rewards of guild combat missions to the following according to the guild sizes.
- Regardless of which guild combat missions are completed, the guild will be rewarded the rewards listed below, according to their size.
- These changes are applied to [Subjugation] missions, but not to [Boss Subjugation] mission. 

● Added the following new guild combat missions:

● Adjusted the number of monsters needed to be defeated for the following pre-existing guild combat missions.
- The subjugation missions and the boss subjugation missions in Margoria were not adjusted.

● Removed the following guild combat missions:
- Kill the Giants at the Keplan Primal Giant Post
- Kill the Treants in Southwestern Calpheon
- Kill the Cyclops
- Kill the Skeletons in Hexe Sanctuary
- Kill the Manshas in Southwestern Calpheon
- Kill the Rhutums in Southwestern Calpheon

- Kill the Barbarians in the Mediah Abandoned Iron Mine
