• ● Added the following Guild Missions.

• ● Added line breaks and different colors to make it easier to differentiate between Guild Mission objectives.

|  CONTENTS 

• ● Revamped the byproducts obtained from Cooking and Alchemy.
• • We revamped Cooking and Alchemy byproducts. Cooking and Alchemy byproducts date back to one of the earliest content best reflecting the Black Desert philosophy of allowing adventurers to engage in any type of content to grow or level up their characters. However, due to their diversity, there were some rather disappointing moments when byproducts outnumberd the amount of food cooked. Also, they heavily influenced the inventory and weight limit as well. Continuing with our efforts to improve convenience for our adventurers, we came to think hard about enhancing the byproduct concept by drastically reducing their types, and here we are announcing the fruits of our labor.

  Now you will only gain 1 type of byproduct from Cooking or Alchemy. You can exchange this new byproduct with another byproduct you may desire. Also, you may also exchange large quantities of byproducts to focus on receiving the ones you want all at once. With exchanging large amounts of byproducts all at once, we wanted to keep the exchanged amount as close to the previous rate as possible, yet due to the previous amount of Contribution EXP exchangeable was set pretty high, the new exchange rate was unfortunately adjusted a bit lower than before. However, we will continue to work on this matter, thinking up better ways to update Cooking and Alchemy contents to make them a more meaningful and enjoyable experience.

- There is a chance you can obtain "Witch's Delicacy" from Cooking.

- There is a chance you can obtain "Mysterious Catalyst" from Alchemy.

* You can exchange Witch's Delicacy for items with Nadia Rowen in Olvia.

* You can exchange Mysterious Catalyst for items with Bofin in Olvia.
