English Patch Notes Global Lab BDO 04-09-2026

Details of the update for the Global Lab BDO test server, which was released on Friday, September 4, 2026.

Please note that Black Desert test server update information applies specifically to the test server itself and is subject to change when the official servers are updated.

Class

Sorceress

Sorceress Succession is a class that can apply CC to multiple enemies from range and then close the gap to continue fighting in melee once an opening appears. However, as her ranged damage was slightly too high, adjustments have been made.

Main Weapon, Succession

Урон от следующих навыков в PvP был изменен.

	name skill	Before	After
	Prime: Dream of Doom	48.25% attack damage before fully charged in PvP only 51.06% attack damage when fully charged in PvP only	43,43% attack damage before fully charged in PvP only 45,96% attack damage when fully charged in PvP only
	Prime: Abyssal Flame	44.17% normal attack damage in PvP only 48.58% charged attack damage in PvP only	39,55% normal attack damage in PvP only 43,5% charged attack damage in PvP only

Valkyrie

Valkyrie Succession has a playstyle that supports allies through her attacks and recoveries. However, the Damage Reduction from Guard and her passive skill, combined with the immunity to All Damage Reduction debuffs from Succession: Absolute: Heaven’s Echo, allowed her to stay in combat with relatively little risk, so adjustments have been made.

Main Weapon, Succession

Succession: Absolute: Heaven’s Echo

• The following effects have been removed from the skill effects:
  • Removes All Damage Reduction debuffs when using the skill
  • Nullifies All Damage Reduction debuffs for 20 sec

• [Nova] Fixed an issue where the star would not disappear when using “Fuse Gravity” after summoning a star using a Star Ring at a specific location.

Inner Edania Junk Item Crystal Exchange

With their continued growth, more and more Adventurers have been heading to the Inner Edania monster zones, while some of the high-tier monster zones have seen fewer visitors.
The Magic Crystals obtained from those high-tier monster zones are still in steady demand, which has made them increasingly difficult to acquire.
To address this, we’re adding an exchange in Manage Currency that lets you exchange junk items obtained in the currently popular Inner Edania into key materials for some of these Magic Crystals.

This feature has been added so that you can exchange unwanted items from Inner Edania monster areas for “Divine Power Coins”.

NPC exchange	objects	Exchange
Angavu Outpost <Storage keeper> Lafi Bedmountain	Branch of Abundance х85	Divine Power Coins х1
	Black Crystal Fragment х80
	Elion Follower’s Helmet х70
	Scorched Belt Ornament х65
	Elion Follower’s Mark х65
	Broken Gloves of the Void х60

Divine Power Coins can be exchanged for the following items in the manage Currency UI.

Required item	Subject of exchange
Divine Power Coins х10	Gluttony Crystal х1
Divine Power Coins х10	Sycraia Shard х1
Divine Power Coins х10	Gem of Void х1
