CP Tier and Ranking Tier Revamp

Developer Commentary

Black Desert Mobile has tiers based on CP and ranking that help Adventurers feel their growth more clearly as their tier rises, and we have revamped the individual, Family, Ship CP and ranking tiers to better reflect the Adventurers' CP that has continued to rise as we serviced the game.

First, the CP Tiers 10 to SSS 10 have been revamped to Tier 10 to Tier 1.

Since the previous CP Tier ranged from 0 to 11,000 and above,
Adventurers who completed the Season Pass and Adventurer Progression Log after the remaster quickly reached around 60,000 CP and achieved the same tier as everyone else.

We have expanded this to a range of 0 to 90,000 and above, making character growth more noticeable than before.

In addition, the Ranking Tiers ranging from Soldier to Legend are now more finely divided.

Previously, players in the Top 1,000 with the tier of Count had to climb 700 ranks to reach the next tier.
After this update, players in the Top 1,000 will only need to rise 500 ranks for the next tier.

We hope Adventurers can better feel their progression through the revamp of CP Tiers and Ranking Tiers.

 

- Changed CP and Ranking Tiers for Individual, Family, and Ship to match the current CP spread.

Anicent Anvil System Expansion

Developer Commentary

As mentioned during the previous Kamasylvia Teahouse, Ancient Anvil is now applied to Fairy Brooch and Petscension as well.

Fairy Brooch upgrade and Petscend now also build up Anvil's gauge upon failure,
and once the aura reaches a certain amount, the next attempt is guaranteed to succeed.

We hope Adventurers can now progress easier now with the Ancient Anvil System expanded.

 


- Ancient Anvil can now be used to upgrade Fairy Brooch.
ㆍThe Ancient Anvil gauge required for each Fairy Brooch grade is as follows.

Grade 

Ancient Anvil Gauge

Magic → Rare 

4

Chaos → Eternal 

100

- Changed Petscension to build up stacks for the respective tier upon failing to petscend tier 6 and 7 pets in [Pets] > [Exchange].

ㆍThe Ancient Anvil gauge required for each Petscension is as follows.

Category 

Required Exchange Stack by Tier

Tier 6 → Tier 6 Petscend 1

Tier 7 → Tier 7 Petscend 1

Developer Commentary

Last September, Nightmare was expanded to have 5 levels, and changed to allow PvP across all levels.
Since then, more and more Adventurers have entered Nightmare over the past 3 months and this number continues to rise until now.

Accordingly, to help Adventurers enjoy Nightmare more, we have further divided the entry levels so that levels 1–4 each open 2 zones.
However, level 5 will only open 1 zone as before, so the competition with other Adventurers for greater rewards remains.

We will continue to monitor and improve Nightmare going forward.


- Divided Nightmare difficulties I–IV for easier access.

IV 

IV - I, IV - II

- Even within the same difficulty, I and II zones have their own Bound debuff that apply entry limits separately.
ㆍExample) You cannot enter IV-II while Bound is applied after entering IV-I
- Accordingly, all Brand of the Nightmare and Bound debuffs have been reset.



- Changed to allow entry upon reaching 2,300 CP even without completing the Land of the Morning Light Tale Collection.


- Chat can now be entered from All chat by selecting a category out of Normal/Server/Guild/Blood Kin/Group/Whisper/Party.
ㆍTap the category tab at the bottom left to display the chat tab list.
ㆍIn the PC Launcher, categories can be changed with Alt+number, and the key can be rebound in [Settings] > [Control].

 
※ Group: Displays the chat currently entered among Lunar Halo Inn, Open Arena, and Adventurer's Hall group chat.
(You must have entered one of the above to chat in Group.)

- Added Twisted Nightmare: Capital Level II to the O'dyllita Server.




- Implemented an age verification system for new account registrations.

[Learn More]
- During the age verification process, access to the game may be temporarily restricted if the user is identified as a minor, in accordance with applicable local laws.
ㆍ Even if access is temporarily restricted, all account data will remain secure and unchanged. Access will be restored once the user's age has been verified.
