Updates Aug 6, 2026, 09:00 (UTC) Patch Notes - August 6, 2026

 

 

Greetings Adventurers,


Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on  August 6, 2026 (Thu). Today’s patch contains 83 updates and is approximately 1.18GB.

 

Guild Fame

Guilds are an integral part of Black Desert, bringing Adventurers together to share adventures, create stories, and make lasting memories.
 
The new Guild Fame system turns your individual activities into your guild's growth, which in turn provides benefits for you. Guild members can earn Guild Fame through various activities and unlock guild-wide benefits based on their Guild Fame. Guild Fame can also be spent to activate special effects. By encouraging guilds to earn and replenish the Guild Fame they spend, we hope to make guild activities more engaging.
 
We hope you continue to enjoy adventuring with your guild and create lasting memories with the Guild Fame system.
※ Added the Guild Fame system, which allows guilds to earn Fame through various activities and unlock benefits for all guild members based on the total earned.
 

How to Earn Guild Fame

  • Changed the Guild Rankings UI as follows:
    • Added Guild Fame and Weekly Guild Fame Earned.

Guild War

The guild war declaration system has been revamped.
Guilds can now spend 400,000 Guild Fame to declare war without the opposing guild's consent. However, each war will last only 6 hours, and once it ends, the same guild cannot be targeted again for 48 hours.
 
Previously, guilds often found themselves subjected to unwanted war declarations. More recently, however, many guilds have expressed frustration over being unable to declare war even when necessary.
With the Guild Fame update, we have revised the guild war system to better balance these concerns.
  • Guild war can be declared with Guild Fame.
    • Declaring a war consumes 400,000 Guild Fame.
 
 
  • At least 10 guild members must be online to declare a war. However, you can respond to a guild war declared against your guild without requirements.
  • Guild war can be declared regardless of the target guild's size or number of members.
  • Guild war can be declared on up to 6 guilds at once.
  • Declaring war on guilds with negative Guild Fame does not consume Guild Fame.
  • Guild war cannot be declared when Guild Fame is below -1,600,000.
    • A war declaration lasts for 6 hours.
  • However, if the opposing guild responds to the declaration, the war lasts 7 days.
    • You cannot declare war on the same guild again for 48 hours.
    • At least 7 days must pass after creating a guild to declare war.
    • Guild war starts 5 min after declaration.
    • After declaring war, the changed Guild Fame can be seen in the Guild (G) UI.
    • The war declaration history can be checked via Guild (G) - Guild History.
 
  • Added the following notifications for guild war declarations, starts, and ends.
Type Display
Declaration
Start
Respond
End
 
  • Added details on the opposing guild's Fame and benefit reductions from war declarations to Guild (G) - Received.
 
  • Changed the following regarding guild war:
    • Removed the Guild Funds cost for declaring war.
    • Removed the option to retract a declaration of war.
    • The guild war arbitration request function has been removed.
    • The Reject Guild War setting under Menu (ESC) - Settings - Misc. has been removed.
    • Removed guild member protection.
    • War Heroes cannot participate in guild wars.
 
※ Due to these changes, all ongoing guild wars were ended during the Aug 6, 2026 (Thu) maintenance.

Quest & Knowledge

Emma Bartali's Journal

Emma Bartali's Journal," which supports the enhancement of Kharazad accessories alongside HYPERBOOST, was recently added.
Some entries required Adventurers to defeat Hard Mode bosses in Black Shrine - Hwanghae. However, we determined that these objectives could be somewhat difficult for Adventurers new to Black Desert.
To help new Adventurers adjust to the game and take fuller advantage of HYPERBOOST, we have changed the objectives of the relevant Adventure Log entries with this update.
  • Changed the content and objectives of Emma Bartali's Journal.
    • Rewards obtainable upon objective completion remain the same as before.

July 8 Defeat Jigwi (Hard Mode) Defeat Dark Rift - Dastard Bheg
July 23 Defeat Bulgasal (Hard Mode) Defeat Dark Rift - Dim Tree Spirit

September 8 Defeat Bihyung (Hard Mode) Defeat Dark Rift - Ahib Griffon
 
  • Updated the images in Emma Bartali's Journal.
