English Patch Notes Global Lab BDO 14-08-2026

Details of the update for the Global Lab BDO test server, which was released on Friday, August 14, 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

Today’s update includes PvE balance adjustments for some classes and PvP balance adjustments for Agent.
As with the previous PvE balance update, these adjustments aim to narrow the damage gap between classes while taking into account each class’s survivability, stability, and the fatigue and difficulty of combat. We also have plans for further balance adjustments to some classes.
With Inner Edania now introducing new monster zones and items, we will continue to make careful adjustments to provide Adventurers with a better PvE experience. Thank you.

Agent

Agent’s PvP balance has been adjusted.
First, to further reinforce Agent’s assassin identity, the PvP damage of skills that embody this concept has been increased. The Defensive Effects and CC Effects of certain skills have also been adjusted so that Agent can create assassination opportunities by attempting CC from range.
Alongside this, considering Agent’s role in PvP, we have improved his somewhat lacking survivability.

Main Weapon, Succession

Evasive Detonation

An effect has been added that increases all evasion by +36 for 10 seconds when using the skill.

Flow: Dash ‘N Fire

The skill’s required stamina has been changed from 125 to 100.

Tactical Retreat, Flow: Reposition 

The skill’s required stamina has been changed from 200 to 150.

Flow: Bullet of Truth

Added the ability to perform a series of left-click attacks after using the Reaper’s Barrage skill in Mozambique Drill mode.

A 15-second cooldown has been added to the skill.

Last Words 

Fixed an issue where the actual attack hitbox was applied at a shorter distance than the skill’s animation.

If there are no enemies in close proximity, damage will now be applied to enemies at a greater distance to match the animation.

Improved the smooth chaining of skills following Penance and Sin.

Fixed an issue where close-range attacks would intermittently trigger even when there were no enemies in close proximity.

Bulletstorm

Improved to seamlessly transition to other skills after use.

Prime: Hexround Reaper, Flow: Bullet of Truth, Prime: Reaper’s Mercy

The +70% Down Attack Damage increase gained from Prime: Hexround Reaper now only applies to that specific skill.

Prime: Death Comes Spinnin’

An effect has been added that restores +100 HP with every successful hit.

Prime: Obsidian Powder

The Scatterin’ Hell skill has been improved to provide a smooth transition after using the Demolition Operation skill.

Blink

The Super Armor effect has been changed to apply starting from the animation of preparing to move via left-click after using the skill.

The skill can now be canceled via right-click before moving after use.

The forward movement distance of the skill has been increased by approximately 21%, and the downward movement distance has been increased by approximately 33%. However, the height limit for upward movement remains the same as before.

Sin

Improved to seamlessly transition to other skills after use.

Penance

Improved to allow for smoother transitions between skills after use.

Fixed an issue where the falling animation would appear before the character could complete the landing animation.

Letusa

The All Accuracy -60 for 5 sec on hits effect has been changed from -60 to -24.

Improved the transition to the Letusa skill to be smoother after using the Mayhem, Evasive Detonation, Blink, and Demolition Operation skills.

Piercing Round

The “Concealed Weapon” skill has been changed to be affected when acquiring the skill.

The PvP damage of the following skills has been changed.

	Skill name	Before	After
	Prime: Bulletstorm	29% damage in PvP only	35% damage in PvP
	Prime: Concealed Weapon	32.5% damage in PvP 32.5%  damage in PvP of Flow: Bullet of Truth skill	35.4% damage in PvP 38.2% damage in PvP of Flow: Bullet of Truth skill

	Concealed Weapon	Front guard while using skill (No special damage)	(No defense effect) Down attack

Content

Added Hyperboost Guide content and removed Growth Pass 

• A UI has been added to check the Hyperboost progression sequence and guide.
  • You can view this UI by pressing the button at the top of the screen (Existing Growth Pass).
  • With the addition of this UI, the existing growth path will be removed.
    • However, you can continue to view the game tips section of the existing Growth Pass.
  • As announced in the notice on the official website, changes will be made so that existing Growth Pass rewards will no longer be available during the scheduled maintenance on August 19 (Korea) and August 20 (Global). We ask that you claim your rewards before that period.

War Proposal

Alongside the Guild Fame system update, the guild war declaration system has also changed, allowing guilds to declare war without the opposing guild’s consent by spending Guild Fame. However, even in cases where both guilds wanted a war, only the guild that declared it first had to spend Guild Fame. To address this, the War Proposal function has been added, allowing both guilds to enter a war without spending Guild Fame if they both agree.

• A [Propose War] button has been added next to the existing [Declare War] button in the War Declaration UI.
  • If you press that button to propose war to an opposing guild, your fame will not decrease.
  • War begins only if the guild receiving the proposal accepts it, and since it is a mutually agreed-upon war, neither guild’s fame score decreases.
  • A war established by accepting a war proposal lasts for a maximum of 6 hours.
  • Once a war is established by accepting a war proposal, there is no waiting time required to propose it again after it ends, and you can send another war proposal immediately.

• With the addition of the war proposal feature, a setting has been added to allow rejecting war proposals at any time.
  • Menu (ESC) – Game Settings – Others – Reject Guild War Proposal

Fairy Appearance and Skill Selection

Black Desert features fairies with a variety of special appearances beyond the default.
However, Adventurers could not freely choose an appearance for their fairy without giving up their preferred inherent skill, as each appearance came with a different skill effect.
With this update, you can now freely choose your fairy’s appearance and skill separately.

• You can now set the fairy’s appearance and skills separately.
• After selecting the desired appearance from the list, you can select and apply the skill to use at the bottom.
• Appearances you own are displayed in the list, and appearances you do not own can be purchased via the purchase button at the bottom.
  • However, limited appearances whose sales period has ended are not displayed in the list.
• You can only select skills possessed by fairies you currently own; you cannot select skills from fairies you do not possess.

• New forms of Tachyon’s legacy have been discovered throughout Edania.
  • You can obtain special rewards by discovering Tachyon’s legacy.
  • Tachyon’s Legacy can be started at the point where the blue effect is displayed.
  • After discovering Tachyon’s legacy, if you pass the test to obtain Edana’s legacy, you can acquire Agri’s Gold Coin.
• The difficulty of some Tachyon’s Trace content has been lowered.

• The class of the transition rotation has been changed to Woosa and Maegu.
  • During the period below, you can transfer items to the Woosa or Maegu classes for just 1 silver.
    • Start: August 19, 2026 (Korea), August 20, 2026 (Global)
    • End: September 9, 2026 (Korea), September 10, 2026 (Global)

• Residential areas have been added to Angavu Outpost No. 1 and Radiant Lands No. 1, 2, and 3.

Item

Cup Extraction Change

Extracting a Cup from a reformed accessory previously required Refined Essence of Emotions. This system was originally designed to provide additional uses for various items obtained from sources such as Elvia monster zones.
Now that numerous updates have brought us to Inner Edania, we determined that this purpose has diminished and that the system mainly creates inconvenience when extracting Cups from accessories. As such, we have made Cup extraction from accessories easier and more convenient.

• The items required to extract the following improved accessories have been changed.
  • Before: Refined Essence of Emotions
  • After: Mirror of Equilibrium

The Blacksmith NPC, Wacky Toshi, has stopped selling Fused Crystal of Emotions.

• It has been changed so that Refined Essence of Emotions can no longer be produced.
  • Accordingly, the description of the related item has been changed.
    • Shard of the Furious Night, Shard of the Tearful Night, Shard of the Drained Night
  • During the scheduled maintenance on August 19, 2026 (Korea) and August 20, 2026 (Global), any Refined Essence of Emotions and Fused Crystal of Emotions you possess will be deleted, and the materials and silver used for crafting will be returned.
• The repeatable quest to extract a goblet, which could be accepted from Lejenti in the basement of Glish in the Elvia region, has been changed so that it can no longer be accepted.
  • Accordingly, the descriptions related to the improved accessories have been changed.
  • During the scheduled maintenance on August 19, 2026 (Korea) and August 20, 2026 (Global), any quests that have been accepted will be cancelled, and items handed over to NPCs will be returned.
• The description of the Mirror of Equilibrium item has been improved due to changes in the extraction method for Accessory Enhancement Stones.

• Detailed descriptions regarding the appearance when wearing the Godslayer’s Armor Outfit have been added.

• A cheering animation has been added when obtaining Embers of Ynix item from a safe zone into a chest.
  • Improvements have been made so that rare items are displayed in the rare item acquisition UI when acquired in monster zones.

• The issue where possible transformation locations overlapped when using the next transformation scroll has been improved.
  • Brave Pine Blader Transformation Scroll
  • Immortal Persimmon Knight Transformation Scroll
  • Holy Date Priest Transformation Scroll
  • Dreamy Bubble Shaman Transformation Scroll
  • Frosty Chestnut Slinger Transformation Scroll
  • Gallant Conch Blader Transformation Scroll
  • Undefeated Crab Knight Transformation Scroll

• [Weekly] For the Throne: Fixed an issue in Aresion where Aal’s running animation would appear unnatural.

Request, knowledge

Simplified Main Questline Acceptance Condition Change

New Adventurers will no longer be able to select the simplified questline as their first main questline.
While choosing the simplified questline first offered some convenience, it could also leave new Adventurers without important information and experience needed for their journey, making later progression more difficult.
To provide a better experience for new Adventurers, first-time main quest progression will now follow the standard questline instead of the simplified questline.

• The simplified quest “[Special Growth] Birth of a Prestigious Family” can now only be accepted if you have a record of completing the quest “[Pet] Bareeds’ Junaid”.
  • To accept the quest “[Pet] Bareeds’ Junaid”, you must fulfill the following conditions.
    • You are currently on or have completed the quest “[Mediah] Apocalyptic Prophecy”.
    • Completed the quest “[Co-op] Awakened Black Spirit”
    • Completed the quest “[Koo Mihyun] Revenge Unfulfilled”.
• The quest “[Balenos] The Alchemist and His Daughter” has been changed so that it only appears in the quest list window if the simplified main quest is not being completed..

• A quest has been added to Edania that allows you to obtain 4 types of Twilight of the End accessories.
  • You can obtain 4 types of Twilight of the End accessories upon completing the quest below.
  • These requests can be accepted and cleared once per family.

UI

Guild Strategy Mapping

The Guild Strategy Mapping feature has been added to help guild members share strategies and coordinate more effectively.
You can now use this feature to mark paths directly on the World Map and set each mapping’s name, color, and shape. A variety of other functions have been added to Guild Strategy Mapping as well. We hope this addresses some of the difficulties Adventurers have faced when planning strategies for content such as Node Wars and Conquest Wars.
We will continue to improve features that help guild members share information and work together more efficiently. Thank you.

• A guild strategy guide feature has been added to the world map.
  • A Guild Strategy Guide button has been added to the top of the World Map (M), and you can open the window by clicking the button.
    • You can assign a shortcut for the Guild Strategy Guide through the World Map Shortcut Settings button at the bottom right of the World Map (M).

• To use the Guild Strategy Guide, you need Guild Strategy Guide permissions, and guild members without permissions can only view the generated path.
  • The generated path can be viewed on the world map (M) and minimap. 

The function of each button in the Guild Strategy Guide is as follows.

① Create Path Button: You can create a path.– You can create up to 10 paths, and add up to 10 points to each path.

② Add Memo button: You can specify a name for the path.

③ Settings button: You can set the shape and color of the path.

④ Delete button: Click to delete the corresponding path.

※ If you need to modify the path, press the Del key on the keyboard to delete in reverse order starting from the most recently created point.

※ To delete only a specific point, hover your mouse cursor over the point and press the Del key.

※ Guild members with the necessary permissions can create a path by clicking the mouse wheel while holding down the Ctrl key, without having to click the Create Path button.

※ This information cannot be checked on the Black Desert Research Lab and is scheduled to be updated on the official servers.

• When placing stackable items in the Family Bag, the maximum limit reference on the keypad has been improved to take into account the Family Bag’s maximum weight capacity.
• The scroll width of the guild usage history has been adjusted to be slightly wider.
• The texture size of the full summary section of Marni’s Combat Analyzer has been modified.

System

This update includes a number of optimizations aimed at providing a more stable gameplay environment. We are continuously looking into the instabilities Adventurers have reported, and this update applies several improvements to help mitigate them. In particular, we identified that data processing becomes concentrated when a large number of Adventurers move at once, and we have worked to reduce the instability this can cause. As a result, the issue in certain regions where bosses spawned already dead is expected to improve. Additionally, for more stable data processing, we have added a buffer of about 15 seconds to login notifications. Just as characters currently have a wait time of about 10 seconds when moving to a different server, this measure allows momentarily concentrated data to be processed in sequence. As a result, notifications such as guild member login notifications will appear about 15 seconds later than before, which may feel somewhat unfamiliar at first. This is a necessary step toward building a more stable environment, so we ask for your understanding. We have also applied further optimizations for the frame rate drops we have continued to monitor since our previous improvements. We hope this work alleviates the issue, and we will keep monitoring after the update. Optimization will not end with this update. We will continue to examine the factors affecting your gameplay environment and steadily make improvements wherever they are needed.

• The following information, which used to be updated upon login, has been changed to be updated within a certain time range (maximum 15 seconds).
