Red Battlefield can now be enjoyed on the new ‘Marni’ server. The Marni server will be separated from other servers, and used exclusively for the purpose of Red Battlefield. You will be able to enter Red Battlefield through the start menu. Once you select the Red Battlefield option, a window will open up allowing you to join one of 10 new Red Battlefield channels. When one is selected, you will be transported to the Marni server, and when the Red Battlefield finishes, you will be returned to your original server.

Unlike the previous Red Battlefield system, you will now be able to join Red Battlefield during node and conquest war. We will also be removing the limited Red Battlefields for now, so all Red Battlefields will be open for anyone to enjoy.

The last change is that, if there are now less than 2 participants in the Red Battlefield after it starts, the Red Battlefield will conclude after 1 minute has passed, and any members remaining will be returned to their original servers and locations.

Todays update will combine Red Battlefield servers into one combined form. As a result, you will now be able to enter Red Battlefield without switching servers. Thanks to this new format, we will be able to add new maps, and we are aiming to add new maps as quickly as possible.

1 on 1 Arena

With so many adventurers testing their mettle in the Battle Arena, the Cliff Detached Force have opened a new 1:1 arena. To enter, you will need to talk to Hafun in the Battle Arena. Once you do, will you be able to fight in a 1v1, King of the Hill situation.

The two players who enter will fight each other in a 3-minute bout. If one player overcomes the other, the loser will be moved outside of the arena, and the winner will remain to face the next challenger. If no winner has been decided after 3 minutes, both players will be removed out of the arena and a new set of players will enter.

Much like the Red Battlefield, you will need to select and join one of the ‘Marni’ servers Battle Arenas. If there is currently an active Conquest/Node War on your current server, you will be unable to join the Battle Arena.

Performance Update

This update will also include a performance update to PlayStation 4 players which was applied to Xbox One players through a client patch on September 11th. This update improves the memory usage of the game under certain circumstances.

Crows Nest- Pit of the Undying Update

As the number of adventurers traveling to the Pit of Undying increases, the number of spectators has drew large sums of money for the Crows Nest. Therefore Patrigio, the first crow, has upped the number of Crow’s Black Jewels which are required for ranking up.

	PRI	DUO	TRI	TET
Before	1	2	3	4
After	1	4	7	10

You can win Crow’s Black Jewels by completing fights in the Pit of the Undying.

 

With this increase, we are also adjusting the number of Crow’s Black Jewels required to do the quest ‘[Promotion] Crow’s Sealed Promotion Scroll.

	DUO	TRI	TET	PEN
Before	10	30	60	100
After	10	40	130	250

A new quest has also been added that will allow you to challenge Yulho, the Pit’s rising star. This quest is available once per family, and you must have completed the ‘[Promotion] DUO: Undying Crow’s Insignia’ to accept the quest ‘Chorpy’s Secret Offer’ from Chorpy. Defeating Yulho with this quest will reward you with Crow’s Black Jewel x10.

Imperial Auction House

The Imperial Auction house is a feature occasionally used to list and sell valuable items. Although like most Auction Houses it rarely gets super rare items, but when it does….

As the Imperial Auction House is newly introduced, we have added NPCs that allow you to access their listings. The following NPCs have been added.

NPC Location	Imperial Auction House Manager
Velia	Garcia
Heidel	Charlotte Penwood
Calpheon	Lieber Rousseau
Altinova	Den Shamyr
Valencia City	Ahina
Grana	Erina

Special Items will occasionally make their way through the Imperial Auction House. When the auction begins, a world message will be displayed alerting all adventurers that the bidding has begun. After this message goes out, the Imperial Auction Managers will begin accepting bids on the listed items. The current highest bid price will be

displayed in the window, and then another adventurer can bid higher than that, and it will continue to increase until the auction is over.

After the allotted time, the auction will be extended by one minute. During this time, if another higher bid comes in, the auction will be extended by another minute and so on.

If there are no extra bids, the auction concludes and the winner of the auction can pick up their items from the auction manager. Those who bid throughout the auction and did not succeed will be able to claim their silver back by entering the my bids page from the auction manager.

The first items to be listed in the Imperial Auction House will be as follows:

Item Name	Starting Bid
Horse Emblem: Dream Arduanatt	5,000,000,000 Silver

Altar of Blood – Reward Rework

A looming shadow of corruption has descended down upon the Altar of Blood, embuing the monsters that appear there with a dark energy that greatly improves their powers.

Field Boss Update

During the September 4^th update, a change to Field Bosses went through that we unfortunately did not mention, and for that we are sorry.

The rewards for defeating certain Field Bosses have been updated. We have increased the odds of receiving the current rewards from field bosses, and we have also added the chance to get an Enchanted Scroll +20,+30 or +40. An enchanted scroll can be alchemized with Black Stones to create an Advice of Valks of the same value.

 

 

A new item has been added to the Loot Tables of different World Bosses. The Belongings of an Adventurer will now drop at certain boss fights, and offers some of the rarest accessories within Black Desert at grades up to TET. This item will drop at the following bosses:

These Golden keys can be obtained by trading 100 Silver Keys with Morco of the Crow Merchants guild, who can be found in most major towns and cities. These chests contain a whole range of different items includes Dandelion Weapon boxes, Tungrad Earrings and more!

We have also modified the conditions required when using the Weapon Exchange coupons on new classes.

Awakening Weapon Exchange Coupon	Usable 1 month after a new class’ awakening release date.	Usable from a new class’ Awakening release date.

 

Barhan Nesser’s scouts have recently discovered that an Argos Ritual of Blood has been successful. Although not is much known about how it worked, certain Valencian natives have partook in the ritual and have unlocked a new source of power.

Crescent Chief Gatekeepers of Crescent Shrine, Desert Naga Chief Gatekeepers of Desert Naga Temple, Fogan Chief Gatekeepers of Titium Vallet and Cadry Chief Gatekeepers of Cadry Ruins have undergone the ritual and have become considerably stronger. Once defeated, these monsters will instantly resurrect themselves. As their difficulty has greatly increased, Barhan recommends getting together in a party and attempt to take them down, earning great rewards.
