* How to Register & Hire | - You can receive a War Hero Employment Contract from a Guild Officer or higher member from a guild you want to register. - You can register only within the same server. Also, you cannot register if you currently have a guild item in possession, so you must either sell the guild item(s) at the Guild Shop or keep the item(s) at the Guild Storage. - You cannot register during a Node War or Conquest War. In addition, you cant register during the War Hero reset time (00:00 - 01:00). - Guild currently occupying a certain territory can't hire a War Hero, and also guild members from a guild occupying a territory are not allowed to register. - Guilds which are affiliated to an Alliance can hire a War Hero, and members of the Alliance can also be registered as a War Hero. - Guild Master cannot register as a War Hero. Also, a guild having a War Hero cannot create an Alliance. - Hiring a War Hero is allowed only upto the maximum number of members a guild can hire. - Adventure in a guild who installs Fort/Command Post in order to participate Node/Conquest War cannot register as a War Hero. ※For example※ - For Extra Large(66/100), 34 more Adventurers can be hired as War Hero. - For Large(50/70), 20 more Adventurers can be hired as War Hero. |
* Activity | - A Hero of the Battlefield affiliated to a guild can participate in Node&Conquest War as a part of the guild they are registered in. - A Hero of the Battlefield can view the Guild information, Guild Member status, Guild Skills, Guild Alliance, Alliance Status, and Node/Conquest War status of the guild they are registered for. The hero can also board the 2-player mounts, use the Guild Summon Scrolls, and access the annexes. (However, the hero cannot build an annex.) - Guild Skills are applied to the Hero of the Battlefield (for example, Gather, Max HP increase, HP recovery, etc.) - Guild chat is allowed for the Hero of the Battlefield. - Allowances can be given to the Hero of the Battlefield, and the adventurer who can access the allowance can use the guild's funds. - However, the Hero of the Battlefield can't access to Guild Missions, Guild History, Recruit Guild Member status, Final Battle, and Guild Crafting of the guild they are registered in, and restricted from using the Guild Storage or acquiring Guild Skills. - If a guild with a Hero of the Battlefield occupies a territory, the Hero Adventurer will not be able to receive the territory occupation benefits of increased chance of item loot for defeating monsters in the territory. - Voice chat function for the Hero of the Battlefield will be added after further update. |
* Reward | - Upon signing a War Hero contract, the Hero Adventurer can immediately receive a portion of the guild funds as a deposit (max up to 10,000,000 Silver). - When signing a War Hero contract, victory bonus in addition to the deposit can be set. Upon winning a Node/Conquest War on the day, the War Hero can immediately receive the contractual victory bonus (max up to 20,000,000 Silver). ※ The amount of deposit and victory bonus can't exceed the maximum funds a guild owns. Unlike the deposit which is immediately provided, the victory bonus will be deducted from the guild funds first and then provided if the guild actually wins. If the guild doesn't not win, the bonus amount will be refunded to the guild funds. - Refunds will immediately be returned to the guild upon losing a Node/Conquest War. The amount will automatically be returned to the guild at 00:00 if liberated or if the adventurer does not participate in a Node/Conquest War. |
* Termination of Contract | - An adventurer who is in a guild as a War Hero cannot terminate the contract on its own. Contracts for all adventurers who are hired as War Hero will be terminated daily at 00:00. ※ War Hero will be automatically re-connected to game upon contract termination. - Please be aware that you may get death penalty in monster zone after re-connected to game. |
● In accordance with the addition of War Hero, Militia system used for weekly Conquest War is no longer available now.
● Vacation has been added to guild member status.
- Guild members who have applied Vacation cannot receive guild benefits, but these members will be able to maintain their guild membership without affecting the guild capacity.
- When there are 10 adventurers who are on Vacation in a Extra Large (100/100), this guild can hire 10 adventurers as War Hero.

● Dark Rifts are spawning all over the Black Desert world where bosses consumed by the Black Spirit are appearing throughout.
Description | - Dark Rift will be opened if any one of your characters from your Family cleared '[Awakening Complete] Memories of the Past'. - The boss monsters only appear to specific adventurers, therefore can only be seen by the designated adventurer.
