Greetings Adventurers,


Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on November 27, 2025 (Thu). Today’s patch contains 80 updates and is approximately 1.56GB.




Black Shrine - Donghae: Apex Changui (Calamity 8 to 10)

Following the Bamboo Legion Lieutenant, new Calamity 8 to 10 difficulty levels for Apex Changui have been added. Entry requirements and rewards are set to match those of the Bamboo Legion Lieutenant.
For adventurers seeking swift and exhilarating battles, this fresh option stands ready. We invite you to join the Apex Changui (Calamity 8 to 10) subjugation and test your mettle.
  • Added Calamity 8 to 10 difficulties to Apex Changui in Black Shrine - Donghae (Solo).
  • Entry requirements for each boss difficulty are as follows.
Boss Difficulty Required Stats
Calamity 8 360 Displayed AP
Calamity 9 370 Displayed AP
Calamity 10 380 Displayed AP
* On Calamity 8 difficulty and higher, stats from Light Orbs (Sun, Moon, Earth Aura) won’t be applied. Instead, your character’s stats will be determined by the gear you have equipped when you enter.
* Weekly boss blitz attempts are shared across all difficulties for Black Shrine - Donghae (Solo).
  • Weekly boss blitz rewards for each difficulty are as follows.
    • Your Boss Blitz ranking determines the rewards you receive, with Rank 1 offering the best prizes. The higher your rank, the more guaranteed loot you’ll get—and you’ll also have a better chance of scoring extra items.

Reduced Time for House Purchase and Upgrades

Previously, purchasing a house or upgrading its level throughout the world required anywhere from 1 to 10 minutes. This left adventurers in an awkward spot—too long to wait idly, yet too short to pursue other content. Thus, we have greatly shortened the time needed for residence upgrades via the World Map, allowing for swifter and more convenient use.            
  • Reduced the time required to purchase and upgrade houses.
Level Before After
Level 1 1 min 5 sec
Level 1 → Level 2 2 min 5 sec
Level 2 → Level 3 3 min 5 sec
Level 3 → Level 4 4 min 5 sec
Level 4 → Level 5 5 min 5 sec
Workshop Level 2 10 min 5 sec
Example Before After
Horse Ranch Level 3 → Level 4 4 min 5 sec
Horse Ranch Level 0 → Level 4 10 min 20 sec



 

Item

Improved Junk Loot Weight

In Black Desert, monster zones are effectively tiered by recommended AP. However, the weight of junk loot—which impacts how effective each zone is—hasn't always been consistent.
To fix this, we've standardized junk loot weights: zones that require a displayed AP of 300 or higher now have junk loot set at 0.3 LT, while zones below that have it set at 0.1 LT. If any junk loot was already lighter than these new standards, we've left it as is to preserve the comfortable PvE experience you're used to.
  • Changed the weight of junk loot items from monster zones with Recommended (Displayed) AP of 300 or higher that previously exceeded 0.3 LT to 0.3 LT.            
    • If a monster zone's junk loot weight was already 0.3 LT or less, its weight remains unchanged.            
Monster Zone Affected Item Weight Before
Cyclops Land [Dehkia's Lantern] Tainted Huge Spear 0.5 LT
Thornwood Forest [Dehkia's Lantern] Tainted Moonlight Spirit Powder 
Tunkuta [Dehkia's Lantern] Tainted Broken Horn Fragment
Olun's Valley [Dehkia's Lantern] Tainted Golem's Heart Fragment
Olun's Valley [Dehkia's Lantern II]
Yzrahid Highlands Corrupt Power Source 0.4 LT
  • Changed the weight of junk loot items from monster zones with Recommended (Displayed) AP of 300 or lower that previously exceeded 0.1 LT to 0.1 LT.            
    • If a monster zone's junk loot weight was already 0.1 LT or less, its weight remains unchanged.
