Wild Horse Population Increased

Adventurers taming Wild Horses across the world of Black Desert often had to switch servers when Wild Horses did not appear in their usual spots. To reduce this hassle and make Training more enjoyable, we have increased the Wild Horse population in certain regions.

UI

 
The Monster Zone Info UI is widely used by Adventurers to get useful information about various monster zones without having to visit them directly. While this UI serves many purposes, it is most frequently used to find monster zones suited to your current stats. With this update, we have added a feature that displays monster zones suited to your current total AP, as well as zones worth challenging, with just a single click. We hope this makes your adventures more convenient.
  • Added the Recommended Zone function to the Monster Zone Info UI.
    • Recommends monster zones within ±50 of your character's current total AP.
    • The Recommended Zone function filters the list to show only monster zones that meet the conditions, making it easier to find zones that match your AP.
      • Please note that recommendations are based on total AP, and DP is not factored into the recommendations.
      • Recommended Total AP is calculated by adding Extra AP Against Monsters and Extra AP Against Species for each zone, regardless of your Stat Display Setting.

 

  • Removed the NEW tag from the Edania Logs in the Menu (ESC) - Adventure (F5) - Family Adventure Log.

 

 


 

System

  • Changed the background video of the Server Selection and title screens.
 

 


 

Web

  • Added an outline border to the class icons in the Adventurer Profile and popular post recommendations on the game launcher.
