● Militia content for Conquest War has been updated.

- Players can now join and participate in the Conquest War even if your guild is not one of the participating guilds in the Conquest War.

- Militia is a group of mercenary adventurers that play a role in assisting the participating guilds.

- Only the adventurers whose combined AP/DP is 400 or up can join Militia.

- Players can apply to join the Militia starting an hour before the Conquest War, for 45 minutes, on Saturdays, on the first servers of Balenos, Serendia, Calpheon and Mediah. 50 spots are available per each offensive and defensive side. (Maximum of 100 players total per region)

- If there are no guilds challenging the reigning guild, then only Offensive Militia is available to join. In this case, maximum of 100 Offensive Militia spots are available to join.

- You can apply for both Offensive and Defensive Militia even if your guild does not hold a node in the relevant territory.

- If the number of applicants is below 50% (50 players) of the maximum Militia positions available (Offensive and Defensive combined), the Militia will not be able to join the war.

- If a player withdraws his/her application for the Militia, he/she cannot reapply for the same war session.

- Liberated territories are not open to Militia application.

- The Offensive and Defensive Militia will be in the action from 2 to 3 hours (depending on the defense) starting at the same time of the Conquest War.

- Defensive Militia will win if the Defensive Guild wins, and Offensive Militia will win if the Command Post of the Defensive Guild is destroyed. The participants in the winning Militia will be rewarded with 20 Million Guild Funds per player. Also upon victory, each participant will receive 1 million silvers and Guild Activity +1000 as individual rewards via mail. (The reward is subject to change at a later time)

- When dying while participating as Offensive Militia, players can revive from Town or a designated revive location. Revival times are the same as normal Conquest War participants.

- Militia members can communicate using Militia only chat channel.

- The Militia can only attack players on the opposing side. However, non-Militia members participating in the Conquest War can attack all Militia players even if they are on the same side. (For example, Defensive Militia cannot attack the Defensive Guild, but the Defensive Guild can attack Defensive Militia.)

- Adventurers participating in the Conquest War will not lose Karma even when killing others with forced PVP.

- You cannot move items from other Storages, but you may use the Transport function.

● New character ability stats. ‘Renown Score’ has been added.










Renown Score has been designed to give Adventurers long-term goals while providing additional bonuses depending on the score. We hope that this new addition gives you a greater sense of accomplishment.



The reason for this update is to help you really feel your character grow stronger and at the same time help rookie adventurers to better endure the damage received from stronger opponents.


 

Renown Score is calculated as follows:



 ● (Main Weapon AP + Awakening Weapon AP)/2 + DP = Renown Score



 



Renown Score will continue to offer various bonuses to help our adventurers grow.



In addition, PvP balancing work will be improved following the Renown Score. Please check below for details.




- Renown Score can be checked from Inventory, and it is visible only to self.



- New Titles relevant to the Renown Score has been added to mark how much Renown Score you have gained. Titles are also visible only to self.

- Just like the magic crystal effects, these effects do not count towards the general AP/DP stats displayed in-game, but they are applied in real combats.



● The overall experience you gained throughout your adventure will start to pay off in your combat ability.

● Crowd Control (CC) effect during PvP has been adjusted.



- Previously, Stun, Stiffness, Knockback effects were considered in a set. Bound, Knockdown, and Floating were considered in another set. Lastly, Grapple was considered an exclusive effect where it could be applied in any situation except for Invincibility.



- These ways were introduced to make noticeable each skill effect’s characteristics, but difference in each character’s distinct Crowd Control skills made room for unfair advantages.



- Especially, Grapple worked as an exclusive Crowd Control mechanic which further increased the gap in unfair advantage among classes who owned the skill against classes who didn’t.



- As a result, changes were applied to Crowd Control effects so that all classes would perform attacks and defenses in equal terms and conditions.



- This is only a part of the entire balance work we are hoping to place to better ensure equality among classes and Damage incurred for certain classes will continue to be adjusted.



- For now, the changes in Crowd Control effects are as follows:






























Effect



Description



Knockdown, Bound, Floating, Knockback, Stun, Grapple



Activated at max 2 times (After the 2nd time activated, it will reset after 5 sec. of cooldown)



Stiffness



Continuously-activated (Same as the previous version)



Air Smash



Activated at 100% chance when the opponent is in midair (by Crowd Control and etc.) (Same as the previous version)



Down Smash



Activated at 30% chance when the opponent is lying on ground (Same as the previous version)



- Crowd Control effects (Knockdown, Bound, Floating, Grapple, Knockback, Stun) effects can be performed at max 2 times. After the 2nd time, there will be a cooldown of 5 second where no effect will be applied.



- From the first Crowd Control skill performed (1st time), the receiver will be resistant for a 1 sec. and after receive Crowd Control effect (up to 2 times).



- The reason for this short period of resistance of 1 sec. is to prevent stacking up of same skills and also to allow combos to be performed in between. However, this period of resistance may be changed in the future for balance purposes.



- Air Smash, Down Smash, and Stiffness will not have restriction of count.



- When lying down, Stun, Stiffness, and Knockback effects will not be applied and this does not count toward Crowd Control count.



- Even if it’s the same Crowd Control effect, each class will have slight difference in time of maintaining the effects. This is due to the different actions performed of each class and will receive further adjustments in the near future to balance this out.




- Note that the actual changes that are recognized can differ based on your PC performance, network condition, etc

● Fixed how the information on the gathering node for Longleaf Tree Sentry Post had Silk Honey Grass listed twice.



● You can now sell [Event] Ellie’s Small Water Balloon to NPC vendors.





 



【Monsters】

● The monster zones in Valencia have been adjusted.










The kind of experience we want you to have with Black Desert Online is a balanced give and take in your PvE experience. We want you to be able to feel that as you train you get stronger and you are able to become more efficient at PvE. However, the strength of the monsters in game are fixed, and as time passes some monster zones become too unchallenging for Adventurers who keep on growing and become stronger.



 



Also, as characters become specialized or gain long-distance attacks, as their AP rises it is inevitable that all monster zones have become overwhelmingly monopolized. For some, even before a skill has finished, all mounters around them are already defeated and PvE combat starts to lose its fun.



 



Therefore, in order to reignite passion for PvE we have added Renown Score and Bonus Level and readjusted the recommended AP of certain monster zones to bring back balance to PvE contents.



 



In addition, the drop rate of main items at monster zones have been raised so the profits from monster zones with higher recommended AP has been increased, so that you all can hopefully enjoy the fun of PvE and also profit more from it.



 



This update will bring character bonus based monster balance adjustments as well as making the drop rate for certain Accessories at monster zones twice as high.



In the future, we would like to bring you more balanced monster zones not by making the monsters there stronger but by giving stronger rewards.




● Renown Score has been added, and accordingly monster’s AP in Valencia have been increased.



● The terminology for the following combat areas (checked from World Map) has switched names from Recommended AP to Optimal AP. Areas where Optimal AP is labeled are areas where you can enjoy the greatest efficiency in defeating monsters with the optimal AP mentioned.



- In Mediah: All areas with monsters



 



【Mounts】



● Fixed the issue where character’s falling direction after being hit by a horse’s Hind Kick skill was not natural looking.
