Key Updates
Land of the Morning Light: Seoul
❖ August 5 (Tue) Update
Following the first chapter in Donghae Province,
Land of the Morning Light: Seoul, set in Hwanghae Province, arrives!
Answering Mongryong’s invitation, you return to Land of the Morning Light.
After a reunion with familiar faces like Mihyeon,
you journey along Namtaeryeong Road and arrive at the capital, Seoul.
Here the Adventurer faces new stories.
Discover more wonders and mysteries through the new stories yourself!
Black Shrine: New Bosses
❖ August 5 (Tue) Update
Samsin, Bulgasal, and Uturi, encountered in Land of the Morning Light: Seoul, will be added to the Black Shrine.
A new mechanic will be added to the new bosses of Black Shrine.
As you fight the new bosses, certain bosses of Black Shrine will join the fight mid-battle.
And to take on two bosses that attack together, a new Tag System will be introduced, allowing you to utilize another character from your Family in battle.
Use the Tag strategically to overcome dangerous situations, such as deadly attacks, and defeat the new bosses!
Martial God Tournament
❖ August 5 (Tue) Update
The Arena content is being revamped into Martial God Tournament.
Hero of Karkea, Arena: Ranked, and Normal Arena will be removed, and "Martial God Tournament: Spar," "Martial God Tournament: Ascent," and "Martial God Tournament: Duo" will be added.
Effects like "Super Armor" and "Grab Immune" will be applied in the Martial God Tournament modes the same way they work in regular normal zones. Rank rewards that emphasize honor will also be rewarded.
An official Martial God Tournament is also being planned, so stay tuned, Adventurers!
Twisted Nightmare: Capital
❖ August 19 (Tue) Update
The large-scale battle content that combines PvE and PvP, Twisted Nightmare, returns with a brand-new look, set in Seoul, the capital of Hwanghae Province.
Twisted Nightmare: Capital will have 7 difficulties based on CP, and take place on a much larger battlefield than before. Adventurers will advance toward the center while defeating monster groups, and defeat Bulgasal, who awaits at the center, to complete the objective.
You will obtain Nightmare Fragments or buffs depending on the monster groups,
and the course of the battle will change depending on your choice to either collect Nightmare Fragments, or get buffs to gain an advantage against Bulgasal.
Relic Memory Imprint will be available as a main reward of Twisted Nightmare: Capital.
You can obtain the Relic Memory Imprint by collecting a certain amount of Nightmare Fragments, and equip the Memory Imprint to a Relic for effects that give you an advantage in combat.
In addition, since Twisted Nightmare : Capital is accessible every Saturday at 20:00,
and new rewards added, we are also adding a new loot system that will allow Adventurers who miss the scheduled time to re-enter at their convenience, receiving minimal rewards.
[CM Note] Land of the Morning Light: Seoul
New Class: Seonin
❖ August 5 (Tue) Update
The master of elemental generation, balancer of both umbral and luminous energies, Seonin arrives to Black Desert Mobile.
A grueling journey concludes as Seonin awakens, now poised to command the Enlightened Blade and Elemental Orbs of the ritual rattle, thereby upholding Taehak's ancient legacy.
Seonin effortlessly maneuvers through the battlefield between fiery vigor and tranquil shadow.
The five elements ripple and surge around him in constant succession, even enemies will come to doubt the very ground beneath their feet.
Meet Seonin as he sweeps the battlefield on the August 5th update!
Atoraxxion: Sycrakea
❖ August 12 (Tue) Update
The second stronghold of Atoraxxion, Sycrakea, will be updated.
Sycrakea is a place where Syca, the architect who is an embodiment of jealousy and envy, recreated the deep-sea landscape within his own stronghold.
Sycrakea, made up of 5 gates, is a place of extreme heat and cold. You'll experience stronger mechanics where you need to use the stronghold's out-of-control facilities and energy to take down the bosses, or balance heat and cold to withstand powerful attacks.
Pay close attention to the objects that appear around you, break through specific patterns to work together as a party and fulfill your role. Then, you'll eventually face the final boss, Centilutos.
As Sycrakea gets added, you'll be able to claim Atoraxxion’s weekly rewards twice.
You can choose to enter Vahmalkea and Sycrakea once each for separate rewards, or enter either one twice to receive the same reward both times.
O.N.E August : UNITED SERVER
❖ August 19 (Tue) Update
Japan, Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macau, and Global (Asia) servers will be united as one through the UNITED SERVER update.
At Black Desert Mobile Studio, we've long strived to create an environment where Adventurers from around the world can play together in the same space.
However, physical distance led to unavoidable network delays and latency issues, so we have been providing services by region.
However, technology has now advanced enough to allow some neighboring regions to play together, and we believe that an MMORPG like Black Desert Mobile will be even more enjoyable when Adventurers from diverse cultures gather and play together.
With the O.N.E. August: UNITED SERVER update, Adventurers from around the world will come together, interact, and occasionally compete, for more exciting gameplay that gives "One New Experience".
■ Chat Translation Feature
Adventurers on the Global server used a variety of languages, which often made communication difficult in urgent situations. With the UNITED SERVER update, Adventurers from Japan, Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macau will also join, bringing together players from even more regions.
To make it easier for Adventurers using different languages to communicate and enjoy the game together, a chat translation feature will be added.
The automatic translation feature may not always be perfectly accurate, but it will make chatting with others more accessible.
[Notice] Pre-Announcement - O.N.E. August: UNITED SERVER
Market Merge
❖ September 9 (Tue) Update
The Markets on the Americas, Europe, and Asia servers will be merged.
As many different playstyles there are, so are the items that are needed, or frequently traded on each server.
We hope that going forward, you will be able to get the items you need through the merged market, and that it will resolve the price differences between servers and stabilize the game's economic balance.
The merged Market can be used by storing and registering items from your Market Storage.
And 3 features will be added alongside this for your convenience while using the Market.
1. Price Chart
Maximum and minimum prices of items in different categories are adjusted based on transaction volume, and time.
And we will be adding a Price Chart where you can check the recently changed standard price at a glance.
2. Market Transaction History
A feature where you can check what item you've sold or purchased from the Market at what price will be added
3. Main Trade Goods
You're probably keeping track of your frequently bought items with Favorites.
Main Trade Goods feature will be added so you can also easily keep track of your frequently sold items.
Summer Season 2025
❖ July 22 (Tue) Update
Summer Season 2025 is beginning!
This season, Secrua Crystal, a new item that can be equipped on Ornaments on top of Perilla's Star, will be available.
Secrua Crystal, like Perilla’s Star, provides +50 Attack and +50 Defense,
but it has a unique feature that allows you to upgrade its crystal status.
You can upgrade it up to Eternal grade by using Secrua Essence, which you can obtain from Heatswept Land that will be updated to East Valencia.
The Field Item Drop Rate effect increases as it is upgraded, up to 5%.
Summer Getaway
❖ August 12 (Tue) Update
Last summer, it was "Badakka'. This year, the second swimsuit outfit,
"Summer Getaway", is coming to Black Desert Mobile.
Deadeye and the new class, Seonin can also equip "Summer Getaway".
Black Desert Mobile's Future
We have gone through some major updates for the second half of 2025,
now it's time to present you with the future direction Black Desert Mobile is planning.
As a mobile game, and from an Adventurer's perspective,
we have deeply contemplated on how to let Adventurers enjoy the game with more ease and fun,
and went through the current gameplay environment. After that, we came up with a few major improvements.
More Flexible use of Time
Expanding Family Dispatch
❖ August 5 (Tue) Update
Black Desert Mobile offers a wide variety of content.
Among these are contents such as Boss Rush and Constellations, which involve repetitive auto-combat with similar steps and experiences, and these play a significant role in Adventurers' progression.
We plan to expand the Family Dispatch system to these repetitive contents,
allowing Adventurers to enjoy diverse adventures and focus more on the overall experience.
With July 22 (Tue) update, Family Dispatch to Great Desert Temple, Murrowak Labyrinth and Mirage will become available.
Family Dispatch will unlock upon reaching the respective CP limit for Great Desert Temples, 10 manual playthroughs for Mirage, and 2 manual playthroughs for Murrowak Labyrinth.
❖ August 19 (Tue) Update
Family Dispatch to Trials of Ator: Ancient will require Gates of Atovator Knowledge Level to be 300 or higher, and the character you dispatch to be 42,000 CP or higher.
Return Timer
❖ August 5 (Tue) Update
A return timer that lets you schedule your return to town will be added for the Great Desert, Everfrost, and Land of the Sherekhan.
Using the timer, you can hunt for exactly as long as you want, for example until your Flute of Unity buff ends, then return to town automatically.
Great Desert Appraisal Items Weight Improvement
❖ August 5 (Tue) Update
The weight of appraisal items obtained in the Great Desert are adjusted.
At present, appraisal item weight varies by hunting zone, so some areas let you hunt for over an hour before maxing weight while others fill much sooner.
After the update, hunting anywhere in the Great Desert will generate roughly 8,000 LT of item weight per hour.
With the weight improvement, along with the return timer, you'll enjoy a smoother hunting experience in the Great Desert.
Chaos Rift Time Improvement
❖ August 5 (Tue) Update
Chaos Rift time will now be consumed only while inside the rift, and entry is being simplified so that only Harmony Scrolls are required.
Previously, once an entry item was used, time kept ticking even if you left the rift for other content, such as a Blood Kin Rush.
With this update, remaining time of Chaos Rifts will only decrease when the characters are actually in the rift, just like the Great Desert. Adventurers will be able to enter and exit the rift to their liking.
Also, previously, each Chaos Rift required a different entry item.
Going forward, any Chaos Rift can be entered with a Harmony Scroll, and the cost will remain the same, making rifts easier to access.
Content Schedule and System Change
For better content experience, the schedule and operation of certain content will be adjusted.
❖ August 12 (Tue) Update
■ Fallen God's Realm
Fallen God's Realm will be available from 18:00 to 24:00 (6 hours).
■ Eilton Defense
Eilton Defense is tentatively coming to an end.
❖ September 9 (Tue) Update
■ Night of Vengeful Souls / Black Sun
1. Night of Vengeful Souls and Black Sun will open 4 times a day.
※ Detailed schedule of Night of Vengeful Souls and Black Sun will be announced in future patch notes.
With changes on schedules, the map size will be reduced and the number of Adventurers on each channel adjusted accordingly, for optimal gameplay experience.
2. Maximum score that can be saved is increased to 200,000 points.
3. Reward calculations are changed.
Previously, rewards from defeating monsters and score rewards were independent.
Instead of receiving monster kill rewards and score rewards separately, up to the maximum monster kill rewards obtainable within 40 minutes will now be included in the score reward.
You will receive the score reward from the session in which you earned the highest score among the four time slots.
ex) 12시(100,000점), 13시(200,000점), 19시(150,000점), 20시(120,000)일 경우, 13시의 점수 보상을 획득
4. Rewards from Apex Changui are changed.
Similar to exchanging Duoksini Loot at the Dokkebi Forest, Apex Changui will drop certain loot in accordance with contribution, and the loot can be exchanged for reward items twice a week.
Growth
Content Unlock Condition Change and Trade Vendors Rapport Improvement
❖ September 9 (Tue) Update
Many types of content require Adventurers to clear certain Stories to unlock in Black Desert Mobile.
To unlock all content, Adventurers need to clear not only the main quest, but also all the stories.
To help Adventurers settle into the game more naturally, main contents will be adjusted to be unlocked while progressing through the main quests.
❖ August 5 (Tue) Update
Additionally, Rapport with trade vendors in Mercenary will no longer reset, easing the burden on returning Adventurers.
Normal Hunting Zone Hunting Overhaul
❖ September 9 (Tue) Update
We are adding Adventuring Fervor system, which is a gauge to let you obtain rewards and EXP for a fixed amount of time within a day, and once the gauge is depleted, you’ll receive the same rewards and EXP as if you had hunted for 24 hours.
"These rewards and EXP include the amount gained from Hot Times, and Food buffs will also be available as they currently are.
With reduced hunting time, you can enjoy other contents like Martial God Tournament, and since you can still enter these zones, you can explore zones you have seldom visited, obtain knowledge, or do whatever you like!
We promise that no paid item will ever be introduced to extend hunting time. With this update, you will be able to enjoy the game whenever, wherever you like, just like what a "mobile" game is for.
Nightmare Overhaul
❖ September 9 (Tue) Update
With changes made in normal hunting zones, Nightmare will also go through some changes, namely limited entrance time.
Since Nightmare will not be open all day, rewards will increase, and debuff effects will stack faster.
The event will change to a free-for-all individual competition as well accross all difficulties where anyone can attack anyone including fellow guild members.
Sylvia Goddess Statue / Rift Stone
❖ August 5 (Tue) Update
The maximum level for Sylvia Goddess Statue and Rift Stone will increase to 500 and 900, respectively, being the final maximum level increase for these contents.
Sylvia Goddess Statue and Rift Stone were the contents where Adventurers could achieve near-infinite growth given enough materials.
This has made the growth gap between new and veteran Adventurers hard to close.
To address this issue, we are introducing the concept of "completion".
First, we are raising the level cap so that you can consume their Tears of the Goddess and Chaos Crystals in stock.
Eternal Crystal
❖ September 2 (Tue) Update
Eternal Crystal is added as a content for growth.
▲ New Rift: Gyfin Rhasia
The Eternal Crystal can be crafted by combining Chaotic Crystals with materials obtained from the new Rift “Gyfin Rhasia,” accessible to Adventurers with 90,000, 100,000, or 110,000 CP.
Currently, Chaotic Crystals can only be deleted,
but will be changed to be extractable with the update on August 12 (Tue) along with Primal Crystals.
Also, Eternal grade Alchemy Stones and Totems are scheduled to be updated within this year.
We will continue to create the most wonderful Adventure to you all at our best.
Thank you.
