Featured Updates - Great Desert Revamp
Great Desert Revamp
Developer Commentary:
The Great Desert is key content in Black Desert Mobile, as it is where you can acquire items that set a foundation for growth while you traverse the vast desert.
However, with the addition of more content that requires similar investment, such as the Mountain of Eternal Winter and Land of the Morning Light, it may have become more burdensome over time, despite how essential it is.
With that in mind, we've made updates since the last Heidel Ball, including simplifying Temples and the Desert Exploration Log while making the map more intuitive for better organization. We also comprehensively reviewed other areas for improvement.
The Great Desert, with its vast land filled with secrets, is home to various elements of adventure like Temples, Excavations, Black Rock Shrines, and Mirages, as well as typical gameplay elements like defeating monsters.
For elements of adventure, we've simplified certain content as mentioned above, and with this update, we made quality of life improvements in defeating monsters.
We first increased monster density to the Great Desert and reduced their respawn time, allowing for continuous auto-combat. We've also made adjustments so that you can gain a greater amount of loot from higher CP monster zones. In addition to these improvements, we've halved the weight of appraisal items.
Additionally, we've added Black Rock Altars to all monster zones and changed your Fairy to be able to learn the skill "Black Rock Altar Auto-Offering" earlier for better convenience.
- Improved monsters in the Great Desert to respawn more quickly after defeat.
- Added Black Rock Altars to all locations where mobs spawn.
- Adjusted the number of monsters that must be defeated for the activation of a Black Rock Altar.
- Increased the HP of monsters in the Great Desert.
- Adjusted the time required for Great Desert Loot to reappear from 3 to 6 minutes.
- Decreased the weight of appraisal items looted from Great Desert monsters by 50%.
- Changed to obtain Awakening/Ascension Skillbook Chests instead of Awakening/Ascension Skillbooks in Great Desert and Field of Valor: Desert.
- Changed to obtain Passive Skillbook Chests instead of "Novice to Expert Skill Training Books" in Field of Valor: Desert.
- Changed the order in which certain Fairy skills are acquired due to the Great Desert revamp.
ㆍ Due to the decrease in required Intellect, level and EXP may slightly increase for the following skills below Lv 10.
| Fairy Skill | Changes |
| Black Rock Altar Auto-Offering | - Preceding Skill: Acquire Lv 1 Extra Evasion Charge - Required Traits: Lv 1 Creative, Bold - Decrease in required Intellect for leveling up |
| Auto-Pickup: Desert Loot & Oyster | - Preceding Skills: Increase AP Against Monsters Lv 1, Black Spirit Escape Cooldown Lv 1 - Required Traits: Cheerful, Friendly Lv 1 - Decrease in required Intellect for leveling up |
Featured Updates - Black Spirit Mode Improvement
Black Spirit Mode Improvement
Developer Commentary:
Black Spirit Mode is a feature designed to let you carry on your adventure anytime, anywhere.
However, due to the significant gap in rewards as those obtained from auto-combat, it was only used in specific situations, such as right before maintenance. Also, there was the inconvenience of having to activate Black Spirit Mode before closing the app.
While we were looking for improvements we could make overall, we thought it'd be necessary to reduce this inconvenience.
With the newly improved Black Spirit Mode, you no longer need to take further action when you log out or access other content. The gauge fills up based on the time you were outside your adventure, and you can receive rewards based on this accumulated time when you return.
Furthermore, the rewards have seen a significant boost. Previously, you would earn about 30% of the rewards you would get from playing directly with buffs applied, but now you can receive rewards almost on par with those you get from hunting yourself. This is supported via Auto-Hunting, as well as the Auto-Explore Ruins and Auto-Rush modes. However, with the changes to the Black Spirit Mode system, further review and iteration is needed for Auto-Gathering and Auto-Fishing, which were previously supported. These will be updated following any necessary improvements.
We've also broadened the content that is supported in Black Spirit Mode. Previously, it was only applied in the Camp, Merchantry, Great Ocean, and Open Arena, but now it will also accumulate time while in Ramoness Arena, Hero of Karkea, Ranked Arena, Normal Arena, Battlefield of the Sun, Friendly Arena, Open Arena, Atumach, Skill Practice, and the Alpaca Race, which is currently in progress. Once today's maintenance concludes, the time for the improved Black Spirit Mode should be filled.
We hope you continue your thrilling adventure with the rewards offered by the Black Spirit. We've also expanded content that accrues time for Black Spirit Mode.
- Improved to be able to receive rewards when you log in again after a certain time, even without using Black Spirit Mode.
- Time in Black Spirit Mode accumulates based on the time logged out without having to adjust any other settings.
- Time in Black Spirit Mode accumulates while accessing content such as Camp, Merchantry, Arena, and more.
- The max time that can accumulate is 4 hours by default, and up to 8 hours with the Black Spirit Plus buff.
- You can receive the accumulated time via the reward of your choice when you access the game.
ㆍ The types of rewards you can choose are as follows.
| Category | Description |
| Auto-Hunt | A suggested monster zone will be set based on the current character's CP. You can change it to the monster zone you want, and toggle the Blessing of Light and set the tier for the Holy Vial of Light cost. |
| Auto-Explore Ruins | Available from when you first clear Ancient Ruins. Only available for Ancient Guardian: Lv 1 to Lv 4. |
| Auto-Rush | Boss Rush entries exchanged in advance will be spent for rewards. Available after the first time clearing the Boss Rush. Auto-Start and Hadum will be the default setting for Boss Rush. |
ㆍ The Auto-Gathering and Auto-Fishing features have not been added and are scheduled for a future update.
- Rewards will be sent to your Temp Storage if you don't have enough inventory slots or weight.
- You can check the rewards and resources spent from the window that displays when obtaining Black Spirit Mode rewards.
※ The increase in max accumulated time applied with Black Spirit Plus (4 → 8 hours) will be based on access.
| E.g. 1 | Only the default time of 4 hours will accrue when logging in after 8 hours after logging out with 6 hours remaining for the Black Spirit Plus buff. |
| E.g. 2 | 5 hours will accrue when logging in after 5 hours with 6 hours remaining for the Black Spirit Plus buff. |
- In celebration of the update, all Adventurers will find their time accumulated maxed in Black Spirit Mode, and you can log in and select rewards.
- Changed the content open requirement for Black Spirit Mode.
