||
| Aphrodon | Agris, the Goddess of Abundance, once bestowed blessings without end. With grain gathered from across the decaying golden land, what could the goddess be awaiting? |
||
| Hermesia | Above the mines where Black Crystals are excavated without end, a black castle towers, ruled by none other than the Black Dragon. Why is Markthanan, who had been recuperating in the Everfrost, now waiting here in Edania? |
||
| Magaia | Magaia, the city between heaven and earth that connects gods and mortals. Why does Elion remain silent before humanity? The flow of divinity lies stagnant within the sanctuary, while only the voices of devotees praying for salvation can be heard. |
||
| Aresion | Where is the promised Blackstar of salvation? After fighting an endless battle, the Hashashins could wait no longer. They shall face Aal themselves and learn the truth of salvation. |

New Additions and Improvements
For Maehwa Succession, we've increased her PvE damage mainly for wide-range skills, while also improving Whirlwind Cut so you can more easily reposition behind groups of monsters.
We've also improved the combo from Decapitating Dragon into Prime: Blooming, making it smoother and more convenient. This also eases the difficulty of working Prime: Blooming into every combo due to its cooldown.
That said, since adjustments like these can also affect PvP, we'll be monitoring the results closely to see if any further tuning is needed.
Main Weapon, Succession
- Changed cooldown: 15 sec → 12 sec.
- Accordingly, changed the Skill Add-on tier: 3 → 2.
- Improved the skill to trigger faster when comboed after Decapitating Dragon.
- Changed the skill to trigger with LMB after Decapitating Dragon.
- Moved the "All Evasion -12 for 10 sec on hits" effect to Blooming Stride.
- Removed the bleeding damage effect.
- Added no character collision while moving laterally during the skill.
- Improved combos into Whirlwind Cut and Dragon Bite to flow more naturally after the skill.
- Improved the attack area to match that of Prime: Blind Thrust.
- Reduced the intensity of the brief slowdown effect between attack 3 and the last attack.
- Increased the PvE damage of the following skills.

In both small- and large-scale PvP, Archer is currently dealing more damage than other offensively oriented classes, including other ranged classes.
Even taking into account his playstyle as a long-range sniper on the ground with the greatbow, we found his damage output to be somewhat high, so we've adjusted his Special Attack Damage while in Watcher state.
We've also adjusted Archer's ability to maintain Defensive Effects for extended periods and recover Stamina while doing so, so that quicker, more careful decisions are required in combat.
Common, Ascension
- Changed the skill effects as follows:
| Before | After | ||
| All AP +20 for 30 sec All Accuracy +48 for 30 sec Down Attack Extra Damage +15% for 30 sec Air Attack Extra Damage +15% for 30 sec Back Attack Extra Damage +15% for 30 sec Critical Hit Extra Damage +15% for 30 sec Critical Hit Rate +100% for 30 sec |

Class Changes
We're looking to address a combat style where Adventurers repeatedly use Taunt skills in monster zones to lock a monster's target in place, allowing other Adventurers to subjugate without taking any damage. Accordingly, while these skills will retain their original function, their effects will be adjusted so that the monsters can shift targets when another Adventurer attacks.- Changed the "Taunt surrounding foes" effect on the following skills to apply as a Taunt attack instead of increasing aggro.
- [Warrior] War Cry (I to III)
- [Valkyrie] Heaven's Echo (I to Absolute), Succession: Heaven's Echo, Sanctitas de Enslar (I to III)
- [Berserker] Frenzied Tyrant
- [Lahn] Stately Dignity (I to III)
- [Shai] Found you!
- [Striker] Crouching Wolf
- [Mystic] Crouching Wolf
- [Corsair] No Mercy, Scallywags! - Fixed incorrect descriptions displayed on the screen when using the skill.
- Removed the text regarding burn damage.
- Changed the text regarding increased hit count to increased damage.
- [Corsair] Family's Honor - Corrected the description of the Mist effect's duration and the number of times it is applied to match the actual effect.
- [Maegu] Fixed the issue where the illusory double would disappear when hit by summons' attacks.
Contents
The blessing of the gods obtained in the highest-tier monster zones of Inner Edania (Aresion, Scales of Judgment, Event Horizon) grants powerful effects, but certain stat-enhancing buffs could not be applied while its effects were active.
As such, we've added a new item called Distorted Energy, which allows you to remove the blessing of the gods as needed for more flexible buff management, along with Lejenti at Angavu Outpost, who provides the item.
- Added Lejenti, an NPC who can instantly remove the blessing of the god effects, to Angavu Outpost.
- Adventurers with 413 AP or higher can obtain the new item, Distorted Energy, by talking to Lejenti.
- Using Distorted Energy instantly removes the blessing of the god effects granted by the Vestiges in Aresion, Scales of Judgment, and Event Horizon.
- This item is character-bound, and you can hold up to 3 in your Inventory (I).
Item
Twilight of the End
Ever since the arrival of the Ekleta and Apeiron accessories, the enhancement material Twilight of the End has been the item drawing the most interest from Adventurers. As a result, Adventurers are now spending even more of their time in the monster zones of Inner Edania. However, despite the wide variety of other content available to suit different preferences, we felt that the current situation, where most of your time has to be spent in monster zones, needed to change and wanted to make improvements.First, completing [Weekly] For the Throne in Inner Edania will let you accept a quest to obtain Twilight of the End in exchange for gold bars. However, we have set a cost and a limit on the quantity you can obtain, in consideration of the significance and value that Twilight of the End holds.
Our aim is for every Adventurer to be able to pursue an adventure of their own, and we plan to further expand the sources of Twilight of the End depending on how things develop.
Alongside this, one more major change will be made. The processing recipe for creating Apeiron accessories by heating Twilight of the End will be removed.
Since Apeiron accessories can be crafted and enhanced directly with Twilight of the End, we determined that if an increased supply of Twilight of the End were to lower their enhancement difficulty, it could have a significant impact on the current difficulty of entering monster zones, as well as the item acquisition and gear progression structures designed around it.
We will continue to consider and make improvements so that Adventurers can enjoy the world of Black Desert with greater freedom.
- Added [Weekly] One Who Defies the End quests that become available upon completing the [Weekly] For the Throne quests in Inner Edania.
- You can exchange up to 10 Twilight of the End accessories for Silver through the [Weekly] One Who Defies the End quests.

Monster
Hermesia Inner Castle
- Reduced the time it takes for surrounding Enslaved Miners to drop loot upon death when an Enslaved Overseer is killed while the Black Crystal's energy is unstable.
Magaia Temple
Magaia Temple is one of the highest-tier monster zones and currently draws a great number of Adventurers, but it had relatively few monster spawn locations compared to other zones, with only three. To make subjugation at Magaia Temple smoother, four new monster spawn locations have been added.
In addition, the Marni's Realm entrance, which was located somewhat far away on its own, has been moved to an area where monster spawn locations are concentrated, allowing you to plan your routes more efficiently.
We sincerely thank all the Adventurers who have been visiting the Inner Edania monster zones and sharing their thoughts with us. We will continue to review your feedback and make improvements so that those who have supported Black Desert for so long can enjoy even better adventures.
- Placed additional braziers in the Magaia Temple monster zone to engage in combat.
- Changed the location of Marni's Realm for Magaia Temple.

- Fixed the issue where Sinners of Rejection would occasionally repeat a specific animation upon appearing.
Event Horizon
- Changed the Wormhole objects in the Event Horizon monster zone so that no more than two Despair-Consumed Archers can appear at once.
- Reduced the delay before Despair-Consumed Edana engages in combat after being attacked, making it quicker to gather them together.
- Increased the duration of Spacetime Debris dropped after defeating Ibedor by 3.5 times, allowing it to be looted after the mechanic ends.
- Fixed the issue where Failed Edana would occasionally fail to spawn properly.
- Fixed the issue where Despair-Consumed Edana failed to spawn properly.

The Max HP of Sniper Rifle Hunting monsters in the Land of the Morning Light has been reduced.
During the previous Life Skill gear integration update, we adjusted the HP of Sniper Rifle Hunting monsters to account for the effects of combat gear. While that adjustment was intended to keep the Hunting experience similar to before the integration, Special Attack Damage Increase effects do not apply to Sniper Rifle Hunting, which resulted in higher difficulty than before. We have therefore readjusted the HP of Sniper Rifle Hunting monsters to match the originally intended gameplay experience.
