Pearl Abyss has released the Black Desert Online update 2.29 March 16 patch today, and this one adds the Nightmare Kzarka boss plus the usual round of changes and fixes! Check out the full Black Desert Online March 16 patch notes below.
Black Desert Online Update 2.29 Patch Notes | Black Desert Online March 16 Update Patch Notes:
Adventurers,
A new update is here, bringing the first enhanced World Boss, Nightmare Kzarka, new life skill changes and more! Read on to find out what is coming in the March 16th Update.
● Kzarka, bereft of his soul by Illezra—who brought the Three Days of Darkness upon Mediah, has begun to consume the adventurers who stand in the way of his Ritual of Resurrection. On the days his rage reaches its peak, he erupts into his more powerful “Nightmarish Kzarka” form, and darkness will shroud the skies of Serendia.
– During the appearance of Nightmarish Kzarka, a greater darkness shrouds Serendia. The Lord of Serendia is looking for powerful adventurers that can vanquish this darkness.
– Nightmarish Kzarka is much more powerful than the regular Kzarka but he will drop more valuable loot. You can obtain up to TET (IV) Kzarka Main Weapon (+0, I, II, III, IV) and also have an increased chance of getting Belongings of an Adventurer, Gold Bar (up to 1KG), or a type of Magical Black Stone.
– The Season Pass quest to defeat Kzarka will not be completed when you defeat him as Nightmarish Kzarka is considered a unique monster.
Known to many by the title “KeeezAaannng!”, the World Boss Kzarka will now occasionally appear in a new form. The newly created Nightmarish Kzarka comes back in force to reclaim its old fame as the first World Boss of Black Desert. The renewal of a World Boss was quite the challenge, especially since adventurers have been asking about it for quite some time now. We didn’t want to radically change things by shooting up the difficulty level, so we decided to make Nightmarish Kzarka appear by chance and retained some of the experience with the Kzarka we are familiar with. (We have plans to renew other World Bosses as well, but we might approach it differently from how we’ve handled Kzarka. E.g.) Boss appearing only during the evening or only appearing when a group of adventurers join up.) Nightmarish Kzarka will drop better loot compared to the regular Kzarka. But beware, as Nightmarish Kzarka is much more challenging than its previous form.
● Added a new look notification to show when a player kills another player. This new notification will appear in Guild Wars, Node and Conquest War, Red Battlefield and other types of kills.
– Kill notifications can be moved and turned on/off in UI Edit Mode.
Killing another player no matter what can be considered an achievement, and as such we are improving the notification to give a sense of satisfaction when slaying other players.
● Life Skill related content has been reorganized.
– Life skill mastery scaling has been adjusted.
– The prices of various gathered items has been increased.
– New Daily/Guild quests have been added, with a focus on life skills.
For more information, please check out 3/16 Patch Notes Part 2.

● Improved to add the Gathering and Hunting Item Drop Rate increase effect applied via the scroll that exceeds 80% when using the Lucky and Spellbound Life Tools.
– Due to this improvement, we made changes so that the stats for the Item Drop Rate of normal, special, and rare Gathering resources, displayed on the Life Skill tab on the My Information window when equipping a Lucky or Spellbound Life Tool, will now be displayed as the stats before equipping the Life Tool and not as 0%.
● The respawn timers on monsters killed through hunting has been increased by one minute.

– However, if your Family has completed the [Weekly] Lucretia’s Ruby already before maintenance, you cannot accept and complete the new weekly quests before they reset on Thursday at midnight (UTC+0). You can complete the existing weekly quests.

Life Skill Improvements
This update focused on increasing income through Gathering and making Life Mastery more accessible. First off, many of our Adventurers requested that we reduce the difficulty in getting Mastery by giving more through leveling Life Skills but keep the current cap. So, we reduced the Mastery increased after Guru 21 and divided that amount to be earned between the levels of Apprentice 1 and Professional 10. Through this change, Adventurers can gain up to 150 Mastery without needing to reach the highest level. The increase to Mastery will also impact the income earned through Life Skills as well. We also adjusted the number of drops and drop rates for weaker Gathering to match the higher income Gathering like Butchering. Furthermore, we have increased the prices of certain essential primary materials on the Central Market.
This week’s update marks the beginning of Life Skill improvements. We will continue to improve upon the income and accessibility of Life Skills. As for our Guru Adventurers, we realize you may feel that the update is unfair to you as the Mastery improvements didn’t do anything for you in particular even if your overall income has improved. However, we are preparing something special for each of the Life Skills, so we hope you will look forward to them.
● Adjusted the amount of Mastery increased per Life Skill level.
– Moved the Mastery +10 earned per level section from “Guru 21 to Guru 50” to “Apprentice 1 to Professional 10”.
– The total amount of Mastery that can be gained from Life Skill levels at the end of Guru 50 still remains that same at 800 Mastery.
| Before |
After |
Beginner 1 to 2 – Mastery +10 per level
Beginner 2 to Guru 20 – Mastery +5 per level
Guru 21 to Guru 50 – Mastery +10 per level |
Beginner 1 to 2 – Mastery +10 per level
Beginner 2 to 10 – Mastery +5 per level
Apprentice 1 to Professional 10 – Mastery +10 per level
Artisan 1 to Guru 50 – Mastery +5 per level |
* Due to the changes made to Mastery acquired at certain levels, the total Mastery earned at each level has changed to the following:

| Fluid Gathering |

● Adjusted the max prices of items obtained through Gathering like Rough Stone, meats, and blood on the Central Market.
– Due to this change, the max prices of the following items were also increased on the Central Market.
Changes were made to the Hunting life skill content. First off, we improved the controls and actions of the characters with the matchlock equipped. We made it possible for Adventurers to gather, interact, and reload while crouching with a matchlock. You can now use Black Spirit Rage when you want. Additionally, Guru hunters will be able to fire an additional shot before needing to reload. On top of these changes, we also adjusted the loot drops for Hunting. And as we mentioned with Gathering, the Mastery earned by leveling Hunting was changed. Additionally, the amount of EXP gained by hunting wild animals was increased. We even added more items to drop via Hunting so Adventurers can really feel the difference when leveling Hunting. Lastly, the max prices of the stuffed animals, that can be obtain via Hunting and installed in residences for buffs, were increased on the Central Market.
● Improved the following action while holding a matchlock:
– The key to crouch was changed from A/X to LB/L1.
– Able to gather and interact while crouching.
– Able to reload the matchlock when moving while crouched.
– Changed the rolling forward action while crouched to a squatting pose.
– Able to jump over small walls and obstacles by pressing A/X while holding a matchlock.
– Improved to use 100% Black Spirit’s Rage at any time by pressing B/O.
● Increased the maximum number of bullets that can be loaded into a matchlock for Adventurers with Hunting Guru 1 or higher (Max 4 bullets).
● Increased the distance traveled by rolling.
● Improved the sliding motion to feel more impactful when performing a sliding shot by pressing RB/R1 while sprinting to shoot.
● Changed certain messages that said “musket” to “matchlock”
● Even if Hunting proficiency increases, it has been improved so that lower grade materials can still be collected.

you could only get the high-grade resources “Sharp Tooth” and “Supreme Hide” from it.
However, after this update, you will be able to get resources like “Intact Tooth”, “Usable Hide”, and other lower grade resources as well.
* The changes stated above do not affect the amount of loot dropped for the grade you were able to obtain before. The lower grade items are added on top of what you were able to get previously.

– Increased the drop rate of Griffon Leather by 2 times.

Improvements were made to the life skill guild missions. First, we removed categories that weren’t too easy to approach and added easier-to-approach categories such as Lamb Meat or Wolf Blood. Also, as mentioned earlier, we increased the overall Silver profits from life skill guild missions to emphasize individual rewards a bit more. We are also making improvements on guild missions for Fishing so that you can proceed with missions according to the grades of fish (blue-grade, yellow-grade, etc.), regardless of fish type.
We are planning to remove categories that are not easy to access for combat guild missions as well and add new categories for better rotation of the list of guild missions. We are also planning on adjusting rewards for the combat guild missions like we did for the life skill guild missions so that members of guilds can freely each enjoy the field they are interested in.
● Improved life skill related guild missions.
– Added the following new life skill guild missions:

● Increased the Silver you can obtain once you complete guild missions for life skills as follows:
– Check out the details from the following information:
We added recurring quests for each Life Skill to reflect the request we received from our Adventurers during the last CalpheON Ball regarding improvements on Life Skills. The items naturally obtainable from each Life Skill for Adventurers who enjoy our Life Skill contents were set as quest objectives to lessen the burden of proceeding with quests. Also, our focus was on providing visible objectives. Life EXP useful for progression and scrolls that will make playing through Life Skills more enjoyable are included in rewards. We thank our Adventurers who’ve enjoyed our Life Skill content due to the previous improvements made to Life Skills. We will continue making our efforts to make Life Skills easier and more convenient to approach for many of our Adventurers.
● Chief Valentine of Florin’s twin apprentices, Liana and Ludowig, have appeared in major cities and small towns near where Adventurers actively work on Life Skills to seek out materials they need for their research.
– Help them with their research to obtain items useful in Life Skill activities and Life EXP helpful for progression.
– You can accept weekly quests from the NPC Liana located in major cities.
