ITEM

Faint Origin of Dark Hunger

Since the "Kharazad Accessory" update, many adventurers have been crafting these accessories. Even those without PvP setups can now enjoy a wider range of stats thanks to the additions of WON and BON crystals. We appreciate your interest in Kharazad accessories.

Today's update brings an item to help with enhancing Kharazad accessories, and the loot from the Morning Light monster zones has been boosted. Like the "Origin of Dark Hunger," there's a new item called "Faint Origin of Dark Hunger" that lets you increase your Enhancement Chance via Devour.

While it might not match the Origin of Dark Hunger from the Devour-specialized Tungrad Ruins, we've made sure that adventurers visiting the Morning Light monster zones to craft and enhance Kharazad accessories, or to get Dawn Crystals or Essence of Dawn, get a bit of extra help.
  • Added the "Faint Origin of Dark Hunger" item which can be used to increase Enhancement Chance.
    • You can obtain this item from Honglim Base and Dokkebi Forest monster zones in Land of the Morning Light.

MONSTER

Tungrad Ruins

The recent update introduced Kharazad accessories, which allowed for adventurers who previously did not own a Deboreka accessory a way to achieve slightly higher attack power. Interest in the Essence of Devouring for gear enhancement has also increased, leading to approximately a 20% rise in Adventurers visiting the Tungrad Ruins.

In the Ulukita region, the monster zones have been improved. As these zones involve moving and defeating groups of monsters, we've improved the topography of underutilized locations and added more monster groups to enhance their appeal.
  • Improved some topography in the Tungrad Ruins monster zone to make movement and subjugation routes smoother, and added more monster groups.
    • Connected the two terrains below to allow for easier navigation during subjugation, and as a result, removed the forested steps nearby.

Forested steps removed and topography improved
    • Added a group of monsters to the area and improved the density of some monster groups.
      • Also, increased the number of entities in existing monster groups.
Before After
 

 
In response to the high interest in the Land of the Morning Light monster zones, we've added more Kkebidol statues and Honglim Base bandits to accommodate more adventurers. Additionally, with the new loot item "Faint Origin of Dark Hunger" introduced in today's update, we aim to make these zones even more appealing.

Looking ahead, we are preparing to sequentially implement the Golden Pig Cave and Gowun Plateau monster zones. As previously mentioned, in the Golden Pig Cave, gold accumulates on the Golden Pig statue at the cave's entrance during subjugation. Once it reaches its limit, the statue bursts, releasing the accumulated gold, adding a unique twist to your PvE experience. We've also tailored these zones to challenge Adventurers equipped with enhanced Kharazad accessories, ensuring a diverse range of Adventurers can enjoy the Land of the Morning Light. We will keep you informed through the Black Desert Global Lab.

Thank you.
