New Story: Memory of Darkness and Light
Developer Commentary
There are ominous rumors of cultists conducting a resurrection ritual to summon the evil god spreading across Serendia.
To put these rumors to rest and stop the resurrection ritual, Adventurer heads toward Serendia.
Numerous youths have gone missing due to cultist activities,
and a father from Dernyl Farm asks the Adventurer to look for his missing daughter.
Tracing the rumors and what the cultists have left behind,
Adventurer arrives at the Bloody Monastery, where the cultists dwell.
There, they encounter the resurrection ritual of Kzarka, discover where the missing people have been, and recall a faint memory of someone else...
"Memory of Darkness and Light" tells a story about the new class exclusive to Black Desert Mobile.
It will help you understand her past and how she started her long journey.

Cradle of Fairykind and New Fairy Brooch
Developer Commentary
The Fairy has been accompanying Adventurers on their journey since September 2022, when she was first rescued from the Cradle of Fairykind.
Now, the old calamity strikes again and rifts are opening in the Cradle of Fairykind.
Rescue the Fairies in danger and receive their token of gratitude from the new content "Cradle of Fairykind!"
Adventurers can enter the Cradle of Fairykind once a day and defeat monsters to weaken the rifts and transform them into Chaos Rifts.
Fairy's Flower Buds can be rescued by closing the Chaos Rifts, and Adventurers can obtain "pwesents of gwatitude" from the fairies, which contain materials to enhance or upgrade the Fairy Brooches.
Additionally, the Solar Brooch and Lunar Brooch can now be upgraded to Eternal-grade, and a third brooch, "Stellar Brooch", which increases damage to Adventurers, is now available.
We hope that Adventurers can further boost their Fairy's growth through the Cradle of Fairykind.

Common
Developer Commentary
We are carefully reviewing feedback from all Adventurers regarding recent adjustments to grab skills made in the updates on Apr 29 and Aug 5.
We have analyzed this feedback and confirmed that grab skills are used with an understanding of the risks and consequences upon use.
After these updates, the percentage of characters with grab skills has decreased from 33% to 27%, and this percentage is becoming the new equilibrium.
However, classes without grab skills have had to remain alert at all times for possible grabs when engaging in melee combat against classes with grab skills.
With this update, we added Grab Immunity to skills for classes that lack grab skills to address the issue and encourage more diverse strategies.
We hope this update can enhance their combat performance and encourage more classes to shine on the battlefield.
We will continue to monitor gameplay to further enhance your gameplay experience.
- Added Grab Immunity to the following skills:
| Classes | Skills |
|---|---|
| Dosa | Summer Breeze |
| Blade Master | Mountain Divide ※ Changed to last unti the attack hits. |
| Drakania | Ascent |
| Lahn | Four Point Splatter |
| Lancer | Wave of Light |
| Reaper | Darkness Approaching |
| Warlord | Upper Hand |
| Berserker | Frenzied Strikes |
| Void Knight | Slanted Balance |
| Lotus | Razorblade Corolla |
| Primrose | Petal Ward ※ Not applied to Flow enhancements. |
| Eclipse | Royal Fencing: Counter |
| Corsair | Overflow |
| Hashashin | Shadow Slicer |
| Hwaryeong | Twirling Foxflare |
- Improved the skill description for the activation condition of Chaser's Instinct.

New Content and Improvements
Cursed Pirate Island
Developer Commentary
Outlaw Zone has been available in the recently revamped Cursed Pirate Island, where it became a hunting zone for a certain amount of time.
However, some Adventurers felt burdened by having to engage in combat with other Adventurers anywhere on the island.
To address this, we removed the Outlaw Zone from the region and increased the rewards to match the quantity previously available with the Outlaw Zone activated.
PvP will be available in Madman John's domain, and Adventurers will be able to engage in combat with other Adventurers except for guild members.
For Adventurers seeking greater rewards at higher risk, Madman John's domain has been expanded, and monster groups within it will spawn more monsters than the rest of the island.
So, hunting in PvP zones will yield more rewards, even more than rewards with the Outlaw Zone activated in the previous version of Cursed Pirate Island.
We hope this patch will ease the burden while retaining enjoyable gameplay.
We will continue to monitor gameplay to provide you with more enjoyable content.
- Removed the Outlaw Zone from Cursed Pirate Island.
ㆍCombat against other Adventurers (except guild members) is available in Madman John's domain as before.
- Increased the size of Madman John's domain.
ㆍIncreased the number of monsters spawned for monster groups within Madman John's domain.
