MAJOR UPDATES - Woosa, the Enlightened Butterfly
The butterfly soaring through the skies of enlightenment.Our new class Woosa, hailing from the Land of the Morning Light, wields a fan imbued with Do arts. Her play style isn’t aggressive with complicated controls, but is rather relaxed, so we hope that new Adventurers will be able to adjust without too much difficulty. Of course, this leisurely play style does not affect how her skills are used and expressed within the game. Her skills were meticulously designed to bring about an immersive dynamic of rolling clouds, rain, lightning, and powerful winds- all summoned by Woosa herself.
As her roots lie in the Land of the Morning Light, she takes on special movements and skills that reflect this. For example, after her basic movement (Yangban Step) or special movement (Butterfly Step), she will settle into a leisurely pose reminiscent of her home culture. Representing this as well are the Sagoonja (Plum, Orchid, Chrysanth, and Bamboo), artwork brought to life from a hanging scroll she unfurls as she attacks her enemies. These are characteristics that have never been seen before, so we hope all of you enjoy the charm that this class has to offer.
Woosa is Black Desert's 25th character, and it’s thanks to your continuous love and support that our wide assortment of characters came to be. We are forever grateful and will do our very best to make this game enjoyable for you all. Thank you.
※ Woosa's Rabam skills, 2 Prime skills, and her Magnus skill are planned to be released in future updates. Her current skills have been balanced in PvE and PvP with the aforementioned skills missing from the skill list. Therefore, there may be some additional adjustments made to her existing skills when these skills are released.

NEW & IMPROVEMENTS
| NINJA
Compared to other classes, Succession Ninja requires a higher proficiency in controls to rapidly connect the class' fast-paced skills. Taking this into consideration, the PVE performance of skills that are primarily used for monster zones has been increased. These skills include Prime: Black Moonlight, Prime: Blade Spin, Prime: Red Rain, Prime: Beheading the Dead, and more.
However factors that can affect PvP performance have not been changed, such as the movement speed of these skills.
The cooldown time for skills widely used in PvP such as Ninjutsu: Oni Shadow, Shuriken: Moon Dive, and Ninjutsu: Decapitation, have been reduced for increased efficiency. In addition, the descriptions of some skills have been updated to be understood more intuitively, as they were somewhat ambiguous before.
Common 
Shuriken: Moon Dive
◆ Changed the skill cooldown from 20 sec → 12 sec. 
Ninjutsu: Decapitation
◆ Changed the skill cooldown from 20 sec → 12 sec.
◆ Changed the number of hits for the skill in PvE as follows: (But the total PvP damage remains the same.)
◇ Attack damage 1533% x 4 → 1533% x 7
◇ Additional attack damage 1533% x 5 → 1533% x 7
◇ Hits in PvP: -2 → -4.
◇ Extra attack hits in PvP: -0 → -3.

◇ Damage reduction for PvP 52% → 64.3%
Main Weapon, Succession 
Prime: Dark Frenzy
◆ Changed so the timing of the hit matches the actual skill motion.
◆ Changed the skill's Stun effect to the following:
◇ Stun on attacks 1 and 3 (PvE only) → Stun on explosion attack hits (PvE only)
◆ Changed number of hits for the skill in PvE as follows: (But, the total PvP damage remains the same.)
| Before | After |
 |

◇ Attack damage 1416% x 3 → Upward strike attack damage 1416% x 1
◇ Extra attack damage 1416% x 8 → Shuriken attack damage 1416% x 12
- Thus, shuriken hits were reduced by 2 for PvP. 
Prime: Blade Spin
◆ Changed number of hits for the skill in PvE as follows: (But, the total PvP damage remains the same.)
◇ Attack 1711% x 7 → Spin attack damage 1711% x 10
◇ Extra attack damage 1350% x 4 → 1711% x 4

◇ Attack 3 damage 1693% x 2 → Explosion attack damage 1693% x 2
- Thus, the number of shuriken attacks will be reduced to half. 
Prime: Beheading the Dead
◆ Changed number of hits for the skill in PvE as follows: (But, the total PvP damage remains the same.)
◇ Attack damage 1620% x 5 → 1620% x 7
◇ Additional attack damage 1620% x 5 → 1620% x 7
- Thus, the attack and additional attack hits will be decreased by 2 for PvP.
| WITCH, WIZARD
Compared to other classes, Succession Witch and Wizard require higher control proficiency in order to connect well-timed combos.Taking this into consideration, the PvE performance of major skills such as Prime: Frigid Fog: Control, Prime: Frigid Fog: Disrupt, and Prime: Voltaic Pulse has been increased.

| DARK KNIGHT
There has been continuous feedback asking for the Dark Knight to be balanced.After delving into the issue, certain combinations of Succession skills proved to be overpowered in PvP, so we have reduced the PvP damage of Prime: Kamasylvia Slash, and changed its connecting controls following Prime: Twilight Dash.
Though we tried our best to maintain the current characteristics of the Dark Knight, we came to the conclusion that these changes were inevitable. We ask for your understanding, especially from those who enjoy the Dark Knight.
We will continue to be diligent in checking and updating areas that require improvement and adjustment.

◆ Improved O'dyllita Monster Zone and Tunkuta as follows:
Adventurers needed to have an understanding of Tunkuta monster zones such as monsters' short pursue distance, the low frequency of potentially aggroing a monster from afar, and knowing the exact location of Ulutuka's spawn in order to navigate the zone effectively unlike other co-op monster zones.Therefore, we have slightly increased the monsters' pursuit distance, changed monsters to immediately pursue when you attack them at range, and increased accessibility by making changes to the situation where Ulutuka's spawn was different depending on where Ulutuka's Alert was obtained.

Old Moon Guild's Trade Offer quest (quest to obtain PEN (V) accessories)
The PEN (V) Accessory Quest was prepared to relieve the burden of equipment for both new and seasoned Adventurers. However, the PEN (V) accessory itself is difficult and expensive to attain, so the process of reaching PEN (V) was painstakingly long. Now, 17 months after the release, we decided that it was time to shorten the process, so we doubled the reward for this quest. We hope this helps new Adventurers who have yet to attain these accessories.◇ This item can be obtained upon completing [Old Moon Guild Manager] Jetina's 'Restocking Supplies', and 'Old Moon Guild Subjugation Request' quests.
