Updates Jun 26, 2025, 11:00 (UTC) Patch Notes - June 26, 2025

 

Greetings Adventurers,


Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on June 26, 2025 (Thu). Today’s patch contains 76 updates and is approximately 5.23GB.

 


Doomcaller

The legendary Doomcaller, long foretold in ancient prophecy, is finally ready to awaken.
 
Only guilds that have proven their might in epic large-scale PvP battles—like Unlimited Conquest Wars and the War of the Roses—will earn the right to ride the Doomcaller. Commanding this fearsome mount is the ultimate mark of your guild’s strength and tactical prowess.
 
The Doomcaller isn’t just a majestic flying mount; it also wields unique, powerful abilities.
 
When summoned by the defending guild during Unlimited Conquest Wars, the Doomcaller can rain down devastating flames on enemies and bestow valuable buffs upon allies.
 
We hope this fearsome dragon will shake up the battlefield and bring fresh excitement to Conquest Wars.
 
Right now, Durgeff, Chief of Duvencrune, is searching for a guild strong enough to tame and master this awe-inspiring creature.
 
Don’t wait—rise to the challenge and claim your place as the master of the Doomcaller.
 
How to Obtain the Doomcaller
  • Accept and complete the “[Doomcaller] Drieghan’s Prophecy of Old” quest via [Chief] Durgeff of Duvencrune to obtain the [Guild] Registration: Doomcaller.
    • If you have more than one Trace of Ruin in your inventory, you can find the "[Mount] Drieghan's Prophecy of Old, Doomcaller" quest in Quest (O) - Suggested.
[Doomcaller] Drieghan’s Prophecy of Old
Quest NPC Objective Reward
[Chief] Durgeff of Duvencrune
Find the [Exploration Node] Ominous Altar at Garmoth's Nest, then offer up
[Guild] Trace of Doom x100
[Guild] Registration: Doomcaller
  • You can obtain the "[Guild] Trace of Doom" required for the quest through the following methods.
    • [Guild] Trace of Doom x12 from opening the [Guild] Sealed Trace of Doom obtained by Guild Masters (Alliance Leaders) via Unlimited Conquest War victory
    • [Guild] Trace of Doom x25 obtained by Leading Guild Masters (Alliance Leaders) via War of the Roses victory
      • Alliance Leaders will also obtain the above items if allied to guilds meeting the above requirements.
 

Registering the Mount

  • Register the [Guild] Registration: Doomcaller via a Guild Mount Manager to handle the Doomcaller mount.
    • Each registered Doomcaller lasts for 14 days.
      • Expired Doomcallers are automatically removed from the Guild Mount Manager.
  • You can register up to two Doomcallers at the same time.
  • All Guild Mount Managers are now ready to handle Doomcallers.
  • Increased the max number of guild mount registration slots by two.
    * As before, a maximum of 3 Guild Elephants can be registered.
    * Changed the name of Guild Stable Keepers to Guild Mount Managers.
    * Changed the name of Guild Stables to Manage Guild Mounts.
 

Summoning the Doomcaller

  • To summon the Doomcaller, Handle Doomcaller authority is required (Guild (G) - Guild Member Status - Select Guild Member - Set Authorities).
    • This authority allows the guild member to summon, recover, and delete the guild mount "Doomcaller."
 
  • You can summon the Doomcaller through the following methods.
    • Added the new guild skill “Doomcaller’s Oath” to Guild (G) - Guild Skills menu.
    • Any summoned Doomcallers at the start of a Node/Conquest/War of the Roses will be automatically checked in, following the same rules as Guild Elephants. Defensive guilds/alliances can summon the Doomcaller using the guild skill during Unlimited Conquest War.
      • When summoning Doomcaller through Doomcaller's Oath, only one can be summoned regardless of the number of registered mounts.
Situation Summon Methor
No ongoing Node/Conquest/War of the Roses

Item

Although the effects applied are different, buffs that share the same icon when used made it somewhat difficult to instantly tell which buff was currently active.
We’ve improved this by giving each of these types of buffs their own unique icon.
Additionally, for items that used the same or similar icon shapes, we’ve added new icons to make them easier to distinguish.
  • Improved buff icons that appear when using items.
    • Changed the Vell's Heart buff icon.
Before After
    • Changed Khan's Heart buff icons so Destruction, Life, and Protection each have unique icons.
