Blue Battlefield Objectives & Rewards

Blue Battlefield

Blue Battlefield is a guild-based PvP mode in Black Desert where adventurers use ships to battle for control over forts located on various islands. Work together with your guild to capture and defend these forts, sink enemy guild carracks and galleys, and secure victory.
To win, occupy a fort created for Blue Battlefield and defend it until the end. Sink enemy guild carracks and galleys to protect your claim. Hold your ground until the fort is finally secured.

Participants

Max 20
(same for guild & alliance, War Hero cannot participate)

Confirmation

15 minutes before the battle begins, participating guilds are finalized.
(You can check the list in the Node War menu.)

* Guild members can change their participation status in Blue Battlefield via Guild (G) → Guild Member Status tab.
 
  • To join Blue Battlefield or Node War, your guild must have a Node War Participation Opportunity, which resets every Saturday after the Conquest War.
    • For Blue Battlefield, your spent participation opportunity will be refunded if:
      • your guild/alliance has a combined total of 10 or more allied/enemy ships destroyed or temporarily occupies a fort at least once
    • You can only have one Node War Participation Opportunity at a time. Once you use your participation opportunity in either the Node War or Blue Battlefield, you won't be able to join other content.
      • e.g., if you apply for Blue Battlefield and use your Node War Participation Opportunity there, you won't be able to take part in the Node War on the same day.
 

 

Blue Battlefield Rules

  • Blue Battlefield takes place in the Balenos Sea.
    • Depending on the number of participating guilds, forts will spawn on the following islands.
 
  • Blue Battlefield fort tiers are as follows:
Blue Battlefield Fort Tiers
Tier 5 Marlene Island Balvege Island Baremi Island
Mariveno Island Eveto Island -
Tier 4 Invernen Island Angie Island Duch Island
Weita Island Luivano Island -
Tier 3 Al-Naha Island Paratama Island Narvo Island
Louruve Island Marka Island -
 
  • Battles last 20-60 min; end time is randomized.
    • Some forts may have a “?” end time.
    • Fort placement rules in Blue Battlefield, as in Occupation Node War, are determined by the number of participating guilds and the participation status of guild and alliance members 15 minutes before the war begins.
      • At that point, you can't switch your participating status.
      • If a guild or alliance cancels its Node War application, the participation status for all members will be reset to "No".
 
End Times
End times are randomly set to the following:
Minimum 20 min to maximum 60 min
and
some forts have "?" end times
 
  • uring the battle, you can track active forts and remaining time via the World Map and widget on the right.
    • Forts can be attacked by other guilds, losing durability. The guild that depletes the fort's durability temporarily occupies it.
* Attacking forts with characters does negligible damage—use ship cannons for real impact.

 

  • When a fort's timer ends, the guild/alliance currently occupying it becomes the final owner.
    • Only one fort can be secured per day per guild/alliance.
    • If a guild holds multiple forts, only the first one held until the end counts; others revert to neutral.
 

 

Blue Battlefield Ships

  • The following big ships can participate in Blue Battlefield:

Guild Galley
Improved Guild Galley

Can carry multiple guild members on the inner deck and port/starboard sides. 
Strategically distribute members across the deck and cannons to ensure your presence on the battlefield. 
(Assign crew to the inner deck for the "Cap'n's Orders" minigame, which can grant "Fair Winds: BreezySail" for increased mobility. 
 Assign crew to cannons for direct fire on forts and ships.) 
 
* The inner deck and Cap'n's Orders are exclusive to Improved Guild Galleys. 
 
TIP: Galleys take little damage from other ships but deal massive damage to forts.  
Crew must manually aim and fire, so attacking stationary forts is easier than moving ships. 

Epheria Galleon

Personal ship, available for limited time via special barters. 
No crew, but tougher plating than Epheria Carracks. 
Similar firepower compared to Epheria Carracks. 
 
TIP: Galleons are sturdy but can be overwhelmed by multiple Epheria Carracks. Focus on defending and targeting vulnerable enemy galleys. 

Epheria Carrack

Versatile personal ship. 
Carrack cannons can damage forts but are best used to escort friendly galleys 
or destroy enemy galleys for tactical advantage. 
 
TIP: To win on the Blue Battlefield, hold your fort for as long as possible. Destroy enemy galleys by engaging more aggressively with the escorting guild ships. 

Panokseon

Personal ship with high durability and large cabin for crew assignment.
Carrack cannons can damage forts but are best used to escort friendly galleys
or destroy enemy galleys for tactical advantage.
Unique skill: "Death's-Pivot: SmoothTurn" allows the ship to rotate in place and fire port/starboard cannons alternately.

Other Ships

Destroyers, Traders, Improved Epheria Frigates, Epheria Sailboats, etc., can also be used.

* Blue Battlefield System

1. During Blue Battlefield, Oquilla Current does not apply. Ship movement stats (Speed, Accel, Turn, Brake) are reduced by 30%. For Epheria Carrack - Volante, stats are reduced by 15%.
2. Ships destroyed or collected remotely will neither reduce sailors' satiation nor cause illness. Trading/barter goods are lost as usual.
3. Ship repair and mount resurrection items cannot be used on the battle server and war time.
4. Annexes and siege weapons cannot be built within the battlefield.

 

 
Blue Battlefield Guild Skills
    • These skills will also apply to alliance members.
    • Seawatch Pulse is automatically applied to guilds occupying a fort.
    • You can change the color of enemy ships detected on the World Map (M) with Seawatch Pulse by adjusting guild color settings under Guild (G) → Guild Information.

 Assemble!

  • 10 minutes before Blue Battlefield begins, the "Assemble!" button appears at the top right.
    • Pressing it teleports each guild to a random coordinate in one of these areas:
      • Velia
      • Iliya Island
      • Lema Island

Caution! If you have a ship out, it will be remotely collected to the local wharf.  
(No sailor satiation loss or sickness on remote collection, but any trading/barter goods on board are destroyed to prevent abuse.) 
 
If you have no ship out, use the Wharf Manager's Transport function to retrieve stored ships. 
Guild ships out at the start will be remotely collected, so keep them in the Guild Wharf.

 

  • If your ship is destroyed during Blue Battlefield, you can revive at one of these wharfs via a special UI:
    • You can instantly resurrect when your character dies in Blue Battlefield.
 
 
[Blue Battlefield] Resurrection Spots upon Ship Destruction
Velia
Iliya Island
Lema Island

 

  • Names of other adventurers are now visible from farther away in the Blue Battlefield.
    • You can see info for allies/enemies on ships faster.
 

▲  You can set the colors for every participating guild.
