MAJOR UPDATES - Family Integration of Gathering & Fishing Tools

Base Tools for Gathering & Fishing
Now the world of Life Skill Gathering activities in Black Desert became more ripe for the picking as adventurers can jump right in without any preparation.
Say you stumble upon untapped natural resources along the road, or are filled with a sudden urge to reel up some undiscovered species of fish... Well fret no more! Now you can partake in Gathering & Fishing activities whenever you please! 
We hope this simplification of Gathering & Fishing will encourage many more adventurers to freely explore uncharted chapters in their own Black Desert adventures.
  • Changed Gathering & Fishing so you can engage in the Life Skill activities without equipping a tool.
    • You can engage in Lumbering, Fluid Collecting, Hoe Gathering, Butchering, Tanning, Mining, and Fishing without equipping the following tools.
Lumbering Axe - Gather lumber without equipping the tool
Fluid Collector - Collect sap and blood without equipping the tool
Hoe - Gather with a hoe without equipping the tool
Butchering Knife - Butcher without equipping the tool
Tanning Knife - Tan without equipping the tool
Pickaxe - Mine without equipping the tool
Fishing Rod - Fish without equipping the tool
※ The base tool effect is equivalent to those of basic tools purchasable via NPC shops.    
※ Notice
- As Gathering and Fishing can now be enjoyed without equipping tools, basic life tools obtained from NPC shops, quest rewards, and crafting are scheduled for deletion in a future update.
 

 

Family Tool Window for Gathering & Fishing

We've added a new "Family Tool Window for Gathering & Fishing" feature, allowing all characters within a Family to share Gathering and Fishing tools. With the integration of Life Skill levels across the Family and the shift to Family-shared equipment for Gathering and Fishing, you can now enjoy these activities with any character you choose. Additionally, even without specialized tools, you can still gather and fish with base tools. So if the durability of your equipped Gathering tools or fishing rods is completely consumed, you can still continue Gathering and Fishing as if equipped with base tools.
  • Added the "Family Tool Window for Gathering & Fishing," which allows you to share Gathering and Fishing tools with your entire Family.
    • When you equip a Life Skill tool in this window, the tool's effects will apply to your entire Family.
▲ You can find the Family Tool window for Gathering & Fishing via the Equipment window.
 
    • You can equip the following tools via the Family Tool window for Gathering & Fishing.
Equippable Tools via the Family Tool Window
Lumbering Axe
Fluid Collector
Hoe
Butchering Knife
Tanning Knife
Pickaxe
Fishing Rod
Float
Harpoon
 
[Equipping in this window will grant access for all characters within your Family.]
 
How to Use Gathering & Fishing Tools
  • Changed Gathering & Fishing so you need only equip tools via the Family Tool window once to use them whenever you wish.
    • You can select the fishing rod by selecting it with your mouse from the ring menu that appears after holding the ' (apostrophe) key located to the left of the ENTER key
※ A separate UI will be added in a future update on top of the key prompt to use the fishing rod.
 
  • The equipped gathering tool will be automatically used when you interact with gatherables.
TIP!
※ With "Family Tool window for Gathering & Fishing" and "Gathering & Fishing Base Tools" updates being applied simultaneously, you will immediately switch to the base tool effects if the durability of any equipped life tools are completely consumed 
- This does not apply for fishing floats and harpoons that either aren't equipped or have 0 durability.
 


Season Characters & Life Mastery Gear

Many adventurers expressed the desire to equip Life Mastery gear on their Season Characters. In response to this feedback, we've made improvements to Gathering and Fishing tools. Now, you can enjoy Gathering and Fishing with tools that increase Life Skill Mastery, regardless of whether you're using a season or normal character.
  • Changed so season characters can also equip gear with Life Skill Mastery with the addition of the "Family Tools window for Gathering & Fishing" update.
 
※ With the "Family Tool window for Gathering & Fishing" update, all characters within your Family now share Gathering and Fishing tools. This rendered "Liana's Tool Bag" obsolete and thus the bag has been removed.
- Quests related to Liana's Tool Bag will no longer be acceptable after the June 5 (Wed) update, and any tools stored in Liana's Tool Bag will be unequipped and sent to your storage in Heidel.
- Gathering and Fishing tools can no longer be copied for tagged characters since they are now shareable with your entire Family. Any copied tools have been removed.
 
※ Fishing rods, floats, and harpoons will no longer take up Pearl outfit and weapon slots due to now being equippable in the "Family Tool window for Gathering & Fishing."
  Before After
Harpoon Equipping the tool unequips any outfits in the main and/or sub-weapon outfit slots
No gear or outfits unequipped
Fishing Rod Equipping the tool unequips any outfits in the main and sub-weapon outfit slots
Float Equipping the tool unequips any outfits in the sub-weapon outfit slot

※ With the "Family Tool window for Gathering & Fishing" update making all Life Skill Mastery gear shareable within your Family, we've removed the base Gathering materials buff that applied for season characters who previously could not equip such gear.
 
  • Added a widget with instructions on how to equip a fishing rod upon entering Velia Beach.
  • Changed the following quests to no longer be acceptable (and any accepted canceled) due to the removal of Liana's Tool Bag:
    • [Tool Bag] Liana's Invention, [Tool Bag] Liana's Trivia Part 1 & 2
  • Added the "Liana's Trivia Challenge" quest, which now grants the "Bearer of Obscure Knowledge" title, since you can no longer accept the "[Tool Bag] Liana's Trivia Part 2" quest.

 


NEW & IMPROVEMENTS

CLASS CHANGES

CLASS CHANGES
The effects of Black Spirit's Rage Absorption have been revamped. Previously, adventurers used Rage Absorption (Common) and Rage Absorption (Innate) skills differently for each class. However, now, except for the Shai class, which uses the Black Spirit's Rage 100% absorption to affect other adventurers, all other classes will no longer have access to their unique Rage Absorption (Innate) skills. Instead, the Critical Hit Rate increase effect has been standardized and included in the Rage Absorption (Common) skill for universal use.
 
When absorbing Black Spirit's Rage at 200%, adventurers used to gain a significant increase in Attack and Casting Speed. Given that overall attack speeds have increased across characters, excessively high attack/casting speed buffs could widen the gap between faster and slower classes. To address this, the additional effects obtained from this absorption have been adjusted.
 
Additionally, the introduction of set effects to Tungrad accessories have made the Black Spirit's Rage 200% absorption accessible to more classes. We are also preparing updates for the 200% Black Spirit's Rage skills for 18 classes, which will be introduced in future Black Desert Global Lab updates.
 
Please note that the adjustments to Black Spirit's Rage Absorption effects are part of the ongoing character/system balance considerations.

Common
Black Spirit's Rage - Rage Absorption Revamp
  • Changed the "Rage Absorption (Common)" skill which absorbs Black Spirit's Rage.
    • Changed the skill name: Rage Absorption (Common) to Rage Absorption.
    • Changed so that all classes except Shai can no longer use Rage Absorption (Innate).
    • Fixed the description text of Rage Absorption (Common) to match its effects.
  Before After
100% Black Spirit's Rage Absorption
All AP +30
Attack/Casting Speed +25%
 
All AP +30
Attack/Casting Speed +25%
Critical Hit Rate +30%
200% Black Spirit's Rage Absorption
All AP +50
Attack/Casting Speed +40%
 
 
All AP +55
Attack/Casting Speed +25%
Max HP +2,000
Critical Hit Rate +50%
※ The same effects apply when using skills that consume 100%/200% of Black Spirit's Rage respectively.
※ While the 200% Black Spirit's Rage Absorption effect is active, the 100% effect will not refresh.

 


CONTENTS

Guild positions and authorities have been separated.
 
Previously, guilds had a structure where authorities were assigned based on guild positions. This meant that, in some cases, you had to assign a rank just to grant certain functions, like Guild Missions or demolishing Node War annex buildings. 
 
Now, authorities can be set independently of positions, making it more convenient and flexible to use.
 
Guild positions will still help distinguish each guild member's role and responsibilities, with an improved appointment system. Meanwhile, authorities can now be delegated individually or activated by group, enhancing overall functionality.
  • Separated guild authorities from guild positions. Integrated certain authorities.
    • The guild appointment UI has also been revamped.
Appoint Position
(Guild window - Guild Member Status - Click Guild Member - Appoint Position UI)
Set Authorities
(Guild window - Guild Member Status - Click Guild Member - Set Authorities UI)

QUEST & KNOWLEDGE

Garmoth Weekly → Region Quests
Well, isn't this just a happy little update? The weekly quest for subjugating the Crimson Dragon Garmoth is getting a bit easier. Now, you don't have to go to Kukao to pick up the quest. Just step into Garmoth's Nest, and the region quest will activate automatically. This means you can focus all your energy on taking down Garmoth. It's not a huge update, but it's something many adventurers, especially new ones have had a little difficulty with. We're just delighted to share this bit of good news with you all.
  • Improved the process of obtaining rewards from defeating the world boss Garmoth, the Crimson Dragon.
    • Approach Garmoth's Nest without accepting the weekly quest from Kukao, and the region quests will activate.
      • Defeat Garmoth to obtain rewards up to 3 times a week through region quests.
※ Note
The weekly region quests to obtain rewards from defeating Crimson Dragon Garmoth resets every Thursday at midnight (00:00).
Accordingly, the Crimson Dragon Garmoth subjugation rewards can be obtained starting from midnight (00:00) on June 6 (Thu).
※ Please note that defeating Garmoth on June 5 (Wed) will not progress the region quest and only give rewards such as Garmoth's Scale, Gold Bar, and Garmoth knowledge based on contribution.

 


 

  • Added the below knowledge to be obtained after completing the quest "[Valencia's Treasure] Memories of Eliza" if not already obtained.
    • Eliza, a Valencian Lady
    • Star of Lake Diamond


NODE/CONQUEST WAR

One of the Node War rewards, the buff effect, has become more powerful. 
 
This powerful buff will appear as an icon at the top of your screen, similar to the Value Pack or Blessing of Kamasylve, and will benefit your entire Family for 48 hours. Plus, the victory buff will apply to all members of guild/alliance (including War Heroes) participating in the Node War at the moment of victory.
 
This Family-wide buff, with its extended duration, is designed to encourage you to aim for higher-tier Node Wars while fostering unity among guild members and maintaining the buff for longer. We hope this will inspire more guilds to take an interest in Node Wars, participate step by step, and grow together.
 
We look forward to your enthusiastic participation.
  • Improved buff benefits for Node War participation and victory rewards.
    • These buff benefits are applied immediately upon Node War conclusion, lasting for 2 days (48 hours).
※ These buff effects do not stack or extend in duration, and are refreshed with each Node War participation/victory.
