HYPERBOOST

New and returning Adventurers may sometimes find themselves unsure of where or how to begin.
With Edania Part 2, a new region for your adventures, on the horizon, we felt it was time to revamp the progression system so Adventurers still learning the ropes of Black Desert can grow more quickly. We have streamlined unnecessarily complex steps and reorganized key progression milestones to provide a smoother path forward.

After graduating from Season and completing the Olvia Academy combat course, you will only need to accomplish a few additional objectives to obtain three Sovereign weapons, a full set of Slumbering Origin defense gear, and PEN (V) Kharazad accessories for every slot. To make further progression smoother, the amount of Agris Essence required for Slumbering Origin defense gear will be significantly reduced. Additional measures will also be introduced to assist with Kharazad accessory enhancement.

Hyperboost is not simply about providing the equipment you need. Its goal is to help Adventurers learning the ropes of Black Desert stay on track, experience essential content naturally, and continue their journey without feeling lost. We will continue improving the progression experience so Adventurers can enjoy a wide range of content without unnecessary pressure.

We will always be here to support you on your shining journey. Thank you.

Monster

New Monster Zone - Gavinya Coastal Cliff

As volcanic activity intensifies across the Gavinya Volcano Zone, sulfur from within the volcano has melted and fused with the dormant ancient golems.
Once guardians of the region, the golems have now been corrupted by the sulfur's toxicity. Adventurers crossing the cliffs must beware the devastating attacks of the enraged Sulfur Golems.
 

  • Added Gavinya Coastal Cliff, a new monster zone featuring highly durable rock formations.
Recommended AP/DP Region Introduction
Based on AP / DP
Recommended Displayed Stats: 400 / 470
Recommended Total Stats: 1,990 / 820
Max AP Limit: 2,020
Monster Zone CC: Knockdown / Bound
Formed from highly durable rock that does not break easily, golems covered in Sulfur, having lost their will to protect, now roam the cliff.
 
Once guardians of the region, their will has been corrupted by the toxic sulfur covering their bodies, driving them to attack intruders with extreme aggression.
  • Gavinya Coastal Cliff is a highest-tier monster zone, where you can obtain exclusive loot such as Primordial Pigment, Primordial Luster, and Corrupt Oil of Immortality.
    • Accordingly, the "#HighestTier" tag has been added to the monster zone. Highest-tier monster zones also drop exclusive loot.

UI

 

World Map Stable Info Improvements

The previous stable info UI allowed you to view mounts stored in each region. However, it was difficult to quickly check detailed information on mounts owned by your characters or stored in Krogdalo's Sanctuary.
With this update, you can now view accurate information on all mounts in your Family at once. The Mount Information UI now displays mounts owned by your characters, mounts checked in at stables, and mounts stored in Krogdalo's Sanctuary, along with their detailed information.
We hope this update makes it easier for Adventurers to manage their mounts, their essential companions on every adventure.

    • Improved the information displayed by the "Mount Transport" button.
      • Now shows in which stable the mount is currently checked in to, allowing you to see its location before transporting it.
      • Now shows which character took out the mount. Mount taken out via Krogdalo's Sanctuary can also be viewed.
    • Added the following filter buttons to the stable info UI on the World Map:
      • All: View mounts checked in at stables across all regions.
      • Mounts Taken Out: View only mounts taken out by speaking to a Stable Keeper.
      • Krogdalo's Sanctuary: View Horses stored in Krogdalo's Sanctuary.
