Item Copy Event for Next 2 Weeks!
2022 Arena of Arsha is to open soon.
Here skilled Adventurers can test their PvP mettle against other worthy opponents in a variety of annually-held competitions, such as the Best-in-Class Championship and Best-in-Trials Championship. To allow for our Adventurers to try their hand at as many classes as possible, we will begin a special Item Copy event for 2 weeks starting today.
※ During this event period, the cost for Item Copy is fixed to 1 "Marni's Unstable Fuel."
Also, with today's class balance update, we've also adjusted the amount of Skill Points required to learn your class skills to 1,000 SP. We hope these additions will further encourage you to freely try out many different classes in both PvP and PvE.
In addition to the Item Copy event, we are also extending the following four events that were originally scheduled to end today for a whole week:
- +500% EXP +100% Item Drop Rate!
- It's Treasure Hunting Time!
- Hearts Pound to the Sound of Double Heart Rates
- Heidel Fountain X 10 Hour Buff!
The 2022 Arena of Arsha will be carried out in team format, and we will be posting more details such as specific rules soon.
We hope you have a great time in Black Desert today.
Thank you.

MAJOR UPDATES - Elvia Realm Improved
Developer Commentary:
We improved the structure of Elvia servers and changed how Adventurers can enter Elvia Realm. You can enter Elvia Realm via the UI interface from any server you're on instead entering an Elvia server. We hope this will alleviate several issues, including that of overcrowded monster zones in the Elvia Realm, since you can now be on almost any server to enter the realm.
You can enter Elvia Realm from safe zones (towns, etc.) without the screen loading (not at the monster zones). Also, Adventurers in the Elvia Realm can see and interact (party, fight, etc.) with one another like in the normal field. We didn't set a cooldown for entering and leaving the realm, but we've added a loading animation that lasts around 10 seconds to stop Adventurers from repeatedly switching between the realms.
| Before | After |
| Switch to an Elvia Realm server | Enter Elvia Realm via the UI in the upper right of the screen on any server |
button in the upper right of the screen to enter the Elvia Realm (However, you cannot enter the realm on servers with Node/Conquest Wars.)◇ You cannot enter the Elvia Realm with a ship taken out. Make sure you check your ship in at a wharf before attempting to enter.
◆ Certain monsters that spawn in the Elvia Realm become extremely powerful, while certain NPCs and other monsters who've escaped Hadum's corrupting touch will not appear in the Elvia Realm.
◇ However Atoraxxion monsters and NPCs will still spawn in the Elvia Realm.
◆ Your mount will move to the Elvia Realm with you when you enter.
◇ However, you cannot move to the Elvia Realm if you have trade items in your inventory or mount inventory.
◆ In order to go into Elvia Realm, it must attune with Elvia's energy emitting from the spacetime rift.
◇ If you are struck by a debuff while attuning yourself to the Elvia Realm, the process will be canceled, preventing you from entering the realm.
◇ For more information, please refer to the Adventurer's Guide - [Season Servers & Characters].

Developer Commentary
We removed Talibre's Tear to make it easier to access Atoraxxion. Furthermore, we also lowered the number of the items required to make the keys to enter the next sections of the dungeon. This will enable Adventurers to reach the final boss even faster than before.

MONSTER
Developer Commentary:
Today is the day,' you may have thought! 'Her heart shall be mine!' And yet, within a minute's span, you end up sighing at Garmoth's untimely demise. You wanted to teach that Dragon a lesson she won't forget, but as if the ground was littered with thorns, she dare not plant her scaley behind on the surface, but taunts you from above. And so, to lessen the times our adventurers have felt dejected by the Crimson Dragon, we have made some adjustments so Garmoth will be able to withstand a few more smacks from your heroic weapons, and better rewards to boot!
◆ Increased Crimson Dragon Garmoth's HP by 1.2 times.
◆ Increased the chance to obtain Garmoth's Heart that can be obtained after defeating her by 1.4 times.

NODE/CONQUEST WAR
Developer Commentary:
Content restrictions on apprentice guild members were applied to prevent deliberate consumption of guild funds, but there were also aspects that made the gameplay of new adventurers or those who moved guilds extremely frustrating. Adventurers have given us a lot of feedback, and after a careful analysis of your recent play, we have come to a conclusion that it’s fine to improve the terms of the position to some extent. We hope that through this, the beginner guild members can enjoy a more pleasant guild life
◆ Changed "Apprentice Guild Member" position given when joining a guild as follows:
| Before | After | ||
| 1. Apprentice Period 14 Days 2. War Vendor not available upon winning Node War |

◆ Fixed the issue where it was possible to build a fort in an abnormal location under certain circumstances.
UI
Developer Commentary:
When we first introduced Courser Training, it was actually a difficult ordeal to collect all the necessary materials. The sparkly animations displayed when using each material was originally designed to give off a sense of reward to Adventurers who had spent much time and effort gathering enough materials. Now, it's become a bit easier to collect these materials, and it is true that these animations may come off a bit lengthy. Thus, we decided to add the Skip Animation function to speed up this process, and also made it available for the Alchemy Stone UI as well. We will continue to look over other UI that are in need of such improvements.
- Added the "Skip Animation" function for Courser Training and the Alchemy Stone Recharge/Polishing/Growth windows.
◆ Added an alert to inform you that you should learn skills when the skill points you have equal the max skill point upon resetting all skills.
◇ This will show when max skill points goes over 15.
◆ Added so "SHIFT + LMB to obtain max level skills" displays in Skill (K) window.
◇ This will show when max skill points goes over 15.
◆ Fixed so Black Stone (Weapon) is automatically used when it's in the Inventory upon Alchemy Stone growth.
◆ Fixed so the Skill Add-on UI remembers your last selected Main Weapon/Awakening Weapon tab.
◆ Fixed so Season Pass shows in NPC chat window when obtaining Season Pass by interacting with an NPC.
SYSTEM
◆ Improved Navigation function. Changed so your character can move safely terrains with different heights in such as cliffs.PEARL SHOP
◆ Added idle pose to the outfits that can be obtained from 2022 Halloween Outfit "Outfit Swap Box II".WEB
◆ Improved the issue of showing blank spaces at the bottom when Update History text is short.◆ Improved so Black Desert launcher runs when you start the game from the website.
