Progression Plus Revamp
Developer Commentary
With the Sep 16 update, we have revamped the Season Pass and adjusted the requirements for unlocking contents
so that both new and returning Adventurers can familiarize themselves with Black Desert Mobile.
With this update, we have revamped both Progression Plus and Progression Plus 2 for Adventurers who struggle to adapt to the gameplay,
reducing the number of quests and boosting their rewards, thereby accelerating overall progression and allowing for a better experience of content for character growth.
After completing both Progression Plus and Progression Plus 2, you'll be able to hunt Monsters in Frost Highlands and craft Eternal-grade gear,
or try various content, including Nightmare, Garmoth's Nest, and Atoraxxion.
In addition, Progression Plus and Progression Plus 2 are now available for 90 days from the start/return date, so you can take your time and dive into the content that may require some time to progress through.
We will continue to make every effort to ensure that both new and returning Adventurers can settle in smoothly.
- Revamped the quests and their corresponding rewards for Progression Plus and Progression Plus 2.
ㆍ Please refer to [Pearl Shop Update - November 18, 2025] for bonus rewards available upon purchasing Progression Plus and Progression Plus 2.
- Changed the prerequisites for Progression Plus and Progression Plus 2.
1) Adventurers who created their Family or returned to the game between Sep 15 (Mon), 2025, 00:00 and Nov 17 (Mon), 2025, 23:59

New Content and Improvements
Martial God Tournament
Developer Commentary
In this update, we reduced the size of the arena in Martial God Tournament: Spar and Ascent
to create a faster-paced and more dynamic combat experience in 1:1 PvP settings.
This will enhance the strategic element and create more dynamic clashes during matches.
Additionally, before matches begin in Martial God Tournament: Spar, Ascent, and Duo, class icons of the opponents will now be displayed.
This improvement will allow Adventurers to identify their opponents’ classes and develop strategies accordingly.
We will continue to monitor Adventurers’ feedback and the matches themselves to further enhance gameplay experience of Martial God Tournament.
- Reduced the size of the arena for Martial God Tournament: Spar and Ascent.
ㆍThe border of the arena will be shown as in the image above in Martial God Tournament: Spar and Ascent.

- Participants will now have their weapons drawn at the beginning of each round in Martial God Tournament (Spar, Duo, Ascent).
- Skills queued during the previous round are now reset at the beginning of a new round in Martial God Tournament (Spar, Duo, Ascent).

Nightmare
Developer Commentary
Through the Nightmare revamp last September, the content now has a weekly exploration time of 21 hours
and allows combat against all Adventurers—including guild members—across all levels.
With this update, while levels I–III remain as is, levels IV–V will disable combat against guild members, creating a different gameplay experience within the content.
We are aware that some Adventurers are expressing concerns about the possibility of certain guilds monopolizing the content, or a large migration of Adventurers into levels I–III.
We will continue to closely monitor the user ratio and relevant PvE/PvP data for each level to ensure a fair and enjoyable experience for all Adventurers after the update.
- Nightmare: Tshira has closed, and the Rift leading to Nightmare: Jade Starlight Forest has opened.
ㆍExploration time and Brand of the Nightmare will not reset.

- Added a notification "Nightmare Entry Item Purchase Available" when Dreamward Lanterns are available for purchase.
