ITEM

Item Copy Improvements (Reformed/Upgraded & Extracted Gear)
Previously, attempting to reform a weapon with an item like "Garmoth's Heart" or extract a cup from an upgraded accessory wouldn't apply the same changes to its copied counterpart - the copied weapon wouldn't be reformed like its original, and the extracted accessory's copy would be removed entirely. With today's update, the reformed/upgraded status of a piece of gear will also be applied to its copy, and extracted gear will no longer see its copy disappear. We hope this will reduce the inconvenience of having to making additional copies for our adventurers.
  • Improved Item Copy so reforming/upgrading or extracting the original piece of gear will directly mirror the new changes to its copied counterpart.
    • Reforming/upgrading the original piece of gear will now make the copied piece of gear also become reformed/upgraded.
    • Extracting from the original piece of gear will no longer delete the copied piece of gear but also apply its extracted status.

Reformed/Upgraded & Extracted Gear Examples
(Inverted Heart of Garmoth & Cup of Earth's Sorrows)
Before After
Reforming/upgrading the original does NOT reform/upgrade the copied gear
Extracting from the original deletes the copied gear
Reforming/upgrading the original also reforms/upgrades the copied gear
Extracting from the original does not delete but mirrors the extracted state for the copied gear
 

 
Blackstar ↔ Godr-Ayed Weapon Exchange Improvements (Branded & Copied Gear)
To improve on the exchange process for Godr-Ayed and Blackstar weapons, we're changing it so the copied/branded state of weapons remain intact even after an exchange. Also, we're changing the very process itself from an exchange quest into an upgrading format. In other words, you will now be upgrading the weapon from Godr-ayed to Blackstar (and vice versa). The required items for said exchanges remain same as before.
  • Changed the Blackstar ↔ Godr-Ayed weapon exchange process from quest to upgrade format.
    • Instead of handing in the Scorching Sun Crystal through a quest, you will now use the same item to "upgrade" your weapon.
    • The upgrade formula by using the Scorching Sun Crystal is as follows.
Blackstar ↔ Godr-Ayed Weapon Upgrade via Scorching Sun Crystal
1. TET (IV) Blackstar weapon upgrades into +0 Godr-Ayed weapon
2. PEN (V) Blackstar weapon upgrades into PEN (V) Godr-Ayed weapon
3. PEN (V) Godr-Ayed weapon upgrades into PEN (V) Blackstar weapon
※ You cannot revert the upgraded +0 Godr-Ayed weapon back into a TET (IV) Blackstar weapon (same as before).
 
  • Improved the Blackstar ↔ Godr-Ayed weapon exchange to now preserve the copied/branded state of upgraded gear.
    • The previous exchange quests can no longer be accepted.
      • If you've handed in any weapons for the exchange quest but have yet to complete it, said weapons can be found in your Heidel storage.
 

MOUNT

We've improved on daily Sailing quests such as those which involve the usage of your ship cannons to now register cannon kills made from greater distances for said quest objectives.
  • Improved Great Ocean monster quests to now register monster kills made from greater distances.

 


QUEST & KNOWLEDGE

Now when you complete the Mediah main quest "Apocalyptic Prophecy," you will see a Crossroads quest selection window pop up. If you wish to continue with the traditional storyline and take on a somewhat easier approach, you can choose the main questline of Valencia. If you wish to brave a more difficult and unique journey which will also unlock storage access to all regions and a piece of PEN (V) boss gear, you will be able to choose the Magnus main questline as well.
  • Improved the main quest experience by adding a Crossroads quest UI window to appear upon completing the Mediah main quest "Apocalyptic Prophecy" which offers the choice of continuing on with either the Valencia or the Magnus main questlines.
    • This Crossroads quest UI will only display if you have not completed both Valencia and the Magnus questlines.

UI

In the April 3 update announcement, we notified our adventurers that the old menu will soon be unavailable for use. However, many adventurers who were still using the old menu gave us feedback regarding this news. In light of this, we've decided to improve and maintain it instead of discontinuing its use. This enhancement may take some time, but it ensures that those who favor the old menu can continue to use it. We appreciate all the feedback that prompted this change.

 


 

  • Added 1 loading screen image.


WEB

We've received feedback that the message you receive when you collect Silver from Black Desert+ app's Central Market for sold items without the Value Pack benefits applied was unclear, which caused some confusion. So, we've improved the message to be more intuitive and made it easier to check whether you have the Value Pack applied or not.
  • Improved the message you receive when you collect Silver from the official website's Central Market for sold items without the Value Pack benefits applied.
