Imperial Delivery Improvements

● Imperial Cooking and Imperial Alchemy have been improved, and new boxes have been added.

Imperial Crafting Delivery gives a baseline income for making food and alchemy products. It enables products from cooking and alchemy to be sold for some income even if their prices are too low or overstocked on the market.

 

However, the types of products that could be sold through Imperial Crafting Delivery was limited. This created an unwanted side-effect where items that were not able to be sold through Imperial Crafting Delivery were neglected. This increased the prices of materials and ingredients needed to make products for Imperial Crafting Delivery.

 

Imperial Crafting Delivery rework is being done to improve upon two factors. First, simplicity. Other than a small amount of product, almost all cooking and alchemy products can now be packaged for Imperial Crafting Delivery. For example, “Apprentice’s Cooking Box” can now be packaged using any of the 16 different types of food. The higher grade products that can be made from cooking and alchemy can now be packaged for Imperial Crafting Delivery. The number of products needed to pack a box differs depending on the materials needed to make the product, however, this creates an even greater profit margin depending on the prices on the market or focus on a specific product with the amount of materials available. This will also help with Adventurers that package products beforehand as the types of boxes will decrease.

– The weight of the new Imperial Cooking and Alchemy Boxes will be 50LT
– Special foods can be used in a 1:3 ratio
Example: Beer x60 is required to package an ‘Apprentice’s Cooking Box’. If the box is packaged using ‘Cold Draft Beer’, then it can be packaged using Cold Draft Beer x20.
– The amount of products needed to package for cooking/alchemy can be found through the Imperial Crafting Delivery NPC’s.

Content Changes 

● You can now purchase the Adventurer’s Luck buff from the camp shop.

The newly added Adventurer’s Luck buffs are intended to widen your choices in choosing where to play according to your goals, instead of ensuring a steady income for defeating monsters.

This buff stacks with other ‘Item Drop Rate’ increasing effects, but its substantial silver cost should be considered also.

Just like the effect of the ‘Item Collection Increase Scroll’, this buff will not increase the number of vendor items dropped, but will increase the chances of other items dropping.

 Buff Effect  Price (Silver) 
[Camp] Adventurer’s Luck I Item Drop Rate +10% (60 min)  10,000,000 
[Camp] Adventurer’s Luck II Item Drop Rate +20% (60 min)  20,000,000 
[Camp] Adventurer’s Luck III Item Drop Rate +30% (60 min)  30,000,000 
[Camp] Adventurer’s Luck IV Item Drop Rate +40% (60 min)  40,000,000 
[Camp] Adventurer’s Luck V Item Drop Rate +50% (60 min)  50,000,000 

※ The [Camp] Adventurer’s Luck buff can stack with other buffs.

 

● Increased the number of days in which a New Adventurer can enter the Olvia(Growth) Server to the following:

Before After 
30 days of entry 60 days of entry

● Changed certain regions of Iliya Island so you can fish up Black Eye Crabs, a Prize Catch type, once again.

 

Item Changes

● Changed Rift’s Fragments, obtainable on the Season Servers to form a Rift’s Echo, from character-bound to Family bound.

“Rift’s Fragments,” which combine into the Rift’s Echo item, are character-bound, and when “Fughar’s Timepiece” is used, these items couldn’t be moved to the new season character. To improve the fate of “Rift’s Fragments” unintentionally turning into junk loot, this update will change “Rift’s Fragments” to now be family-bound, and you’ll be able to access them through means such as the storage keeper to use them on a season character once more.

● Changed the PRI (I) Tuvala Main and Sub-weapon Boxes exchanged from PEN (V) Naru Main and Sub-weapons to now open immediately upon reciept, granting you a suitable weapon for your class.

● Changed the PRI(I) Tuvala Awakening Weapon, which can be obtained during the Awakening quest, will now open immediately and give you the correct equipment for your class.

● Improved the description for boxes that mention obtaining items according to a set probability.

● Changed the icon for the [Event] Rare Tungrad Accessory Box.

● Added details explaining certain restrictions to the item description of slot expansion items.

● Changed the descriptions for the [Season] Lv. 53: Leveling Aid Box to be more explicit about its requirements.

 

Monster Changes 

● Increased the lowest possible chance to obtain knowledge from defeating monsters in Balenos to Mediah by 10%

– However, the rates to learn knowledge from Shultz Guard monsters remains the same as before.

Gathering bits of knowledge as you grow stronger is one of the small pleasures of playing Black Desert. Especially some knowledge of certain monsters can be more difficult to learn, which may serve as a challenge to the collector within all of us. On the other hand, only by learning a certain monster’s knowledge will you be able to see their health in detail. Thus, some Adventurers have requested we provide an increase in the rate for learning knowledge to help new adventurers adjust better. In response, we have decided to increase the rate of learning knowledge for monsters up to the Mediah Territory. However, the Shultz Guard garrison is not a monster zone for novice adventurers, so they’ve been excluded. We will continue to look for better ways to provide support for New Adventurers.

– However, when your Sage is doing the awakening questline, parts of the secret path where the Sol Magia NPC located in the Ancient Stone Chamber could be closed, depending on how much of the questline has been done.

UI Changes

We’ve changed it so that you can now determine the actual number of items you wish to exchange, especially those that aren’t stackable like fairies. While you may not frequent UIs such as these, we hope to continue updating various parts of the game that may feel somewhat inconvenient to use. We ask for your continued feedback.
