NEW & IMPROVEMENTS
CLASS CHANGES
Class Common Skill
Thank you to all Adventurers who have been enjoying the story of Inner Edania.
▲ The new Common Skill inflicts Knockdown on monsters and dismounts Adventurers. Further improvements are in the works to make it more viable in PvP.
Today, with the finale of Black Desert Act 1 upon us, we'd like to introduce the new "Common Skill". If you've played through Inner Edania, the skill may feel familiar.
As the name suggests, Common Skill is a skill that every character in Black Desert can use, with identical effects and animations. As the story of Black Desert has unfolded, you have grown right alongside it. With that in mind, we've prepared the Common Skill to add more variety to your gameplay and offer a fresh experience. It is designed to give you another option in combat, adding another layer of fun to combat.
As a skill shared by all classes, we're also fine-tuning it to ensure there are no differences in hit detection or combo flow between classes. We'll do our best to share more news soon, along with updates on the class balance adjustments currently in progress.
Thank you.
Class Changes
- [Corsair] Wind-piercer Patraca - Fixed the issue where the skill activation was slower when used via a Quick Slot.
- In addition, the skill's control description has been corrected to match the actual controls.
- [Wukong] Extend Longer! - Improved the skill to combo from the Magnus skill, Strike 'Em!.
- [Agent] Hexround: Engage - Fix the issue where using another skill via a Quick Slot immediately after using the skill while moving backward in combat stance prevented skills from being activated with control keys.
- [Seraph] Fixed the issue where certain combat stance idle animations could not transition into other skills.
- Improved monsters to no longer target summons other than Heuklang, Gorr, Tett, Arne, and Marg.
- e.g. Woosa's Cloudrise and Sari Flowers / Nova's Thornwood Guards / Hashashin's Sandstorm
ITEM
La Orzeca Landscape
La Orzeca is a rare outfit crafted from materials gathered in the Kamasylvia and O'dyllita monster zones. When La Orzeca first released, those two regions served as the highest-tier monster zones, so materials naturally piled up through combat, eventually leading to crafting the outfit.
Now that your adventure has carried you all the way to Inner Edania, we felt it would be more natural to add Allan Serbin's Landscape as another option, rather than have you remain in Kamasylvia and O'dyllita solely to craft La Orzeca.
- Changed the following monster zones to drop La Orzeca Paint as loot.
- However, the La Orzeca Landscape will not apply in them.
| Ash Forest | Olun's Valley | Tunkuta | Thornwood Forest |
| Crypt of Resting Thoughts | Thornwood Forest [Dehkia's Lantern] | Tunkuta [Dehkia's Lantern] | Ash Forest [Dehkia's Lantern] |
| Ash Forest [Dehkia's Lantern II] | Olun's Valley [Dehkia's Lantern] | Olun's Valley [Dehkia's Lantern II] |
▲ La Orzeca Outfit
- Added La Orzeca Paint to Choose Your Landscape Paint Box and [Event] Choose Your Landscape Paint Box.
- Agris, the Goddess of Abundance, has begun handing out the Blessing of Agris Scroll to Adventurers who offer her tribute.
- The Item Drop Rate increase from the Blessing of Agris Scroll applies beyond the default 300% limit.
- Item Drop Rate can be increased up to 500%, including the default 300% limit.
- This item can be purchased from after the Sept 23 (Wed) maintenance up until the Oct 22 (Thu) maintenance.
- During this period, you can also obtain Blessing of Agris Scroll x2 once per Family via a login challenge.
- The purchase limit of Blessing of Agris Scroll resets every Monday at 00:00.
- Any unused Blessing of Agris Scrolls will be removed during the Nov 5, 2026 (Thu) maintenance.
- The Item Drop Rate increase from the Blessing of Agris Scroll applies beyond the default 300% limit.

QUEST & KNOWLEDGE
The Leveling Aid quests were created to help new and returning Adventurers easily settle into Black Desert. Now, however, HYPERBOOST lets you progress far faster and more conveniently.
These now largely obsolete Leveling Aid quests will be removed so that Adventurers finding their footing in Black Desert aren't left confused and can focus on the greater benefits of HYPERBOOST.
- Changed the following Leveling Aid quests so they can no longer be accepted.
- Accordingly, they have been removed from the Quests (O) - Suggested.
- - However, quests already accepted can still be completed.

NODE/CONQUEST WAR
- Changed alliances so they can no longer be formed while a guild is signed up for a Node War.
UI
Ship and Barter Quality-of-Life Improvements
Several quality-of-life improvements have been made to Barter.
First, once you arrive near a wharf manager on each island, you no longer need to disembark. You can now accept quests, use shops, repair and resupply, and use storage directly from your ship.
Additionally, while Barter previously showed the direction to each island, it did not show the distance to each island, sometimes resulting in unexpectedly long voyages. You can now check the distance to each island, which should help you plan your trade routes.
Sailing has also been made more convenient. When visiting a nearby town or wharf, you no longer need to open the World Map to check its location. You can now select your destination directly from the Barter Information UI and set navigation.
Lastly, when using the navigation function for auto-run while aboard a ship, Adventurers experienced inconveniences such as getting caught on certain terrain or being guided along unnatural routes. We have improved the navigation system to guide you along more accurate and efficient routes.
We will continue improving navigation whenever we identify areas that need further refinement.
We hope these updates make content in the Great Ocean more enjoyable and convenient. Thank you.
- Added a function that allows the wharf to be used remotely while aboard a big ship.
-
- You can use the following wharf functions without disembarking from your ship:
- Chat, accept and complete quests
- Purchase and sell at shop
- Mount equipment and Durability repair
- Mount stats can now be recovered from the Stable/Wharf UI while they are taken out.
- Wharf functions (Repair and Supply, Manage Sailors, Load Cargo)
- You can use the following wharf functions without disembarking from your ship:
※ However, conversation, mount check-in, and remote collection are unavailable through this function.
- Consolidated repair and supply functions of Wharf Manager into one button.
- Added the option to sell storage items from the Load Cargo UI via the remote wharf function.
- Added distance markers to Barter Information to show the distance to each barter route.
- Added a Nearby Town/Wharf button to the Barter Information UI.
- Accordingly, the "Nearby Town/Wharf" button in the Mount Info UI for big ships has been removed.
- Improved navigation routes to be more natural when traveling by ship.
- Accordingly, the issue where mounts would stop moving forward along certain routes while using Auto-Move (T) has been mitigated.
Treasure Codex
Black Desert features various treasures that require considerable time and effort to complete. However, it was previously difficult to check in-game at a glance what treasures exist, along with the crafting materials and methods required to make them.
To address this, we added the Treasure Codex, allowing you to conveniently check everything from the types of treasures to their crafting materials, how to obtain them, and crafting methods. Now, as you continue your adventure, you can browse the treasures you want to pursue and see what it takes to complete them directly in the Treasure Codex UI.
The Treasure Codex will also record the date each treasure was first crafted, allowing you to preserve the joy and memories of finally completing a hard-earned treasure. Completed treasures will be displayed in full color in the Codex, adding to your sense of accomplishment.
We hope the Treasure Codex serves as a useful guide for all Adventurers continuing their treasure crafting journey. Thank you.
