- Fall damage will no longer apply in the Red Battlefield.
[Developer's Comment]
→ It's been quite inconvenient as you had to use a Potion to recover your HP due to the falling damage.
This will be resolved after today's update, and you will no longer need to suffer from taking falling damage in Red Battlefield helping you to focus more on the combat.
【ALL CLASSES】

[Developer's Comment]
→ Characters would make a cheering motion when obtaining a high grade item, and they would become invincible during the cheering motion while the character was fighting the monsters.
However, we decided that this invincibility effect should only be applied in PvE since this can be used as an exploit during PvP which was not what we intended.
Now the invincible effect during the cheering motion will be effective only for PvE.

- When restoration is successful, the icons for each item will change.
- The items which are successfully restored can be mixed and combined with the original items.
[Developer's Comment]
→ The Archaeologist's Map and Lafi Bedmountain's Upgraded Compass take a lot of time and effort to complete. Though many adventurers wanted more clear Crafting hints, it was difficult to implement any changes, considering all the time and effort the past adventurers went through to complete these items.
Also, in the past, it the combination of the items were important to complete the items, yet now it is more focused on obtaining each piece of the item. Therefore we had to be very careful about making any changes. After considering many different options, we decided to make each item piece identifiable through their different shapes.
Fixed the issue where the hair would occasionally appear abnormal when equipping and unequipping equipment which has hair on it.- Added Marni's Stone (Stone Waragon) and Marni's Stone II (Stone Waragon)

【Monsters】

- You can obtain Spirit Pouch of Ferocious Beast as a reward
【Mount】
- Fixed the issue where using the Transport function to move a character on a wagon to Heidel would get the wagon stuck at the stable there.
- Because of this, when you take out your mount from the stable in Heidel now the mount will appear closer to the road than the stable.
[Developer's Comment]
→ We have made an improvement so that mount will now appear on the road or on the street so that it will no longer get stuck in the building when you summon your mount from the Heidel Stable or arrive the town via transporting a character.
You can no longer delete or change courser skills from a courser horse.
- The skill, elegance and strength stats (which are needed for to awaken a courser) of a Tier 8 courser will now reset when it is bought from a horse market.

- When using the Villa Scroll at a Campsite, you can now select Silver from either the Inventory or from the Storage.
[Developer's Comment]
→ So far you could only use the Villa Scroll at a Campsite with silvers stored in your warehouse nearby.
Since the silver weight in inventory, we realized many Adventurers carry silvers in character inventory these days.
Now you can use the Villa Scroll anywhere at anytime if you have enough silvers in your inventory.

- Added a feature which allows you to hide Campsites which belong to other adventurers.
- However, the Campsites will not be hidden when adventurers are lying down on the Campsites.
[Developer's Comment]
→ As we considered implementing the patch to not allow Campsites to be installed where boss monsters spawn, we decided to fundamentally resolve the issue and also minimize any inconvenience adventurers may face. Our next goal related to improvements to how the Campsites are installed is to minimize the inconvenience adventurers may face when trying to install them in areas which are difficult to install due to geographical issues including hilly areas.
When leveling up a Life Skill or enhancing an equipment while in Privacy Mode, a notification message will now be displayed on the screens of guild members.
[Developer's Comment]
→ The Privacy Mode has been partially implemented with the intention not to negatively affect the activity of community, especially amongst guild members.
We added a new option you can select that the notification message will no longer be displayed to other guild members on Privacy Mode when you want to be totally alone to focus on game play.
Fixed the issue where the camera movement would be unnatural when closing up to the face in the Customization (F4) window.- Fixed the issue where the game client would occasionally shut down when equipping mount equipment.
We hope you enjoy your time in Black Desert,
Thank you.
