[Developer's Comment]

→ We are constantly making improvements on the monster zone in order to provide more room for combat for many Adventurers.

However, this is something that could not be improved overnight so we decided to reduce the cooldown time for monster spawn. We were planning to shift the monster zone every week for this event but we decided to add more monster zone to help our Adventurers get satisfied. We'll continue to make constant progress for revamping monster zone.

 

 

● Transport system has been revamped.

[Developer's Comment]

→ So far, transport Wagon and Ship have been travelling around Black Desert world and delivering items to their destination as requested by Adventurers.

However, the items registered for transport had to be on the waitlist until the Wagon or Ship arrives to where the items were stored.

Now with the revamped Transport System, you can now dispatch items whenever you want.

● The previous transport system that you had to wait until a transport wagon arrives in order to send items has been changed as shown below.

- There are 5 transport methods per family and you can load up items and send them whenever you want.

- However, you won't be able to use the same transportation unless you receive the items you have sent by.

- Add items on the Transport UI and click Send, and the transport begins after 5 minutes.

- You can add more items or cancel items until just before the transport begins. However, once the wagon or ship departs, you can't add extra items or cancel load.

● Same items can be loaded into one slot and the maximum weight allowed has been increased.

	Before	After
Number of slots.	100 slots	20 slots per transport wagon
Weight	50LT per slot, total 1,000LT	1,500LT per transport wagon
Slot	transfers to the next slot when each slot reaches its maximum allowed weight	Same items can be loaded in the same slot

- However, trade goods can no longer be delivered through transport system.

● Transport cost has changed.

Before	After
Cost estimated by number of taken slots. - Fee has been charged if one slot is taken even if it weights only 0.1LT.	Cost estimated by item weight.

EX) When you send one Black Stone, the cost was charged for one slot equivalent to sending 50LT.

Now the cost would be charged for the weight of 0.35LT (weight of one Black Stone)

● More towns have been added to where you can transport items.

- You can transport items anywhere except Port Ratt, Arehaza Town and Muiquun.

● Items currently being transported or already transported will be moved to Heidel storage as arrived items.

【Sorceress】

● Fixed the issue where the Awakening weapon disappears when Grim Reaper's Judgment is used again after consecutively using Grim Reaper's Judgment and Night Crow.

 

【Berserker】

● For the description of Black Spirit: Raging Thunder, 'Hold LMB + RMB' and 'Quick Slot Available' have been replaced with 'Auto-activated upon using Raging Thunder'.

● Black Spirit: Raging Thunder's range has been increased to match its skill effects.

 

【Tamer】

● Fixed the issue where the skill effect would not be displayed when canceling the skill during right Scratch (D+RMB).

● Fixed the actual use and the skill effects of Scratch to occur at the same time.

 

【Archer】

● Fixed the issue where the Light's Mark icon would be displayed repeatedly upon good hits.

 

【Item】
● Fixed the issue where Refined Grain Juice could not be used with Miraculous Cheer skills.

[Developer's Comment]

→ As reported by many Adventurers, we have fixed the issue where some potions such as [Battlefield] HP Potion(XL) and Grain Juice could not be used by the Fairy skill Miraculous Cheer. Now you can use [Battlefield] HP Potion by Miraculous Cheer in Red Battlefield where the potion is most needed.

● 'Ancient Artifact China' has been added to the Shiny Golden Seal - [Imperial Delivery] trade list.

- 450 seals can be traded for an Ancient Artifact China with Lamiro Iadans.

● A message to confirm the opening of a Mysterious Chest will now be displayed.

- The required number of Cron Stones is the same as before.

● Level limit descriptions have been added to the enhanced equipment boxes sold by weapon and armor merchants of Calpheon and Serendia.

● Added an option to trade 350 Dragon Scale Fossils for an Advice of Valks (+40) with Valks.

[Developer's Comment]

→ As announced during the previous Heidel Ball, this new feature has been added through today's update.

We hope this new addition would provide another way to obtain Enhancement Chance and wish Sherkhan Necropolis would become more active than before.

- Chase Speed

● Loot for defeating Vell will now be automatically placed in the Black Spirit's Safe.

- However, Adventurers who are not in the Vell's Realm will not be able to loot the reward items regardless of damage inflicted to Vell.

[Developer's Comment]

→ We've had many internal discussions before we apply this new update.  

We have seen many chaotic situation where so many Adventurers get tangled and crowded together after defeating Vell and we realized many suffer from inconvenience on the way to loot the reward items.

Now the reward items will be sent to Black Spirit's Safe directly after defeating Vell.

[Developer's Comment]
