Black Desert Online update 2.52

Black Desert Online Update 2.52 Patch Notes | Black Desert Online September 28 Patch Notes:

New Mythical Arduanatt Appearance

We’ve added a new appearance for the Mythical Arduanatt. We designed it around a “pure white” concept, and you need only purchase and feed the Quturan’s Fruit to your mythical steed to change its appearance. While we initially thought of a more arduous process to obtain this appearance, we felt that the process of awakening a Mythical Arduanatt was rigorous enough, so we felt it only fair to have a far simpler process when changing its appearance. We hope this new appearance only bolsters the experience of Adventurers who have already awakened a Mythical Arduanatt in their adventures.

We’re currently working on Mythical Doom, and while we initially thought of a horse with blue flames, we felt it somewhat unimpactful compared to the already released mythical counterparts, so… we felt that we had a bit more work to do to prepare for Mythical Doom’s explosive release. Thank you for your patience.

● Added Quturan’s Fruit to now be available for purchase through Francia, librarian of O’dyllita, who requested these through Helen Julia, the Ahib scholar on Krogdalo.            
– Feed the Quturan’s Fruit to your stabled Mythical Arduanatt and it shall be reborn with a new appearance and all previous skills and stats intact.            
– You can purchase the Quturan’s Fruit for 100 million Silver each via Franica in O’dyllita.            
* You can change your Mythical Arduanatt’s basic appearance to the new appearance by using the Quturan’s Fruit.            

 
 
Training Improvements

Krogdalo, King of the Celestial Horses, has granted his blessing upon the world of Black Desert, thus greatly improving the tiers and breeds of horses roaming in the wild.

You will no longer be able to tame Tier 1 to 5 Wild Horses as they’ve all been improved to Tiers 6 and 7, and these Tier 7 Wild Horses will also boast a special appearance that will make them easy to distinguish from other horses.

We’ve also added 4 types of Tier 8 horses. While retaining the same stats as pre-existing white and black breeds, since Tier 1 to 5 Wild Horse appearances are no longer available, we’ve made these types now available as Tier 8 horses so Adventurers may still have access to them.

 
 Increased Chance of Higher Tiers from Breeding
● Increased the chance of birthing higher tiers of horses from breeding Tier 1 to 8 horses.            
* The tiers and growth levels of the parent horses will affect the new horse birthed from breeding. The higher the parent horse levels (up to Lv. 30), the greater the chance of birthing a higher-tiered horse.            

For example,
Breeding Lv. 30 Tier 6 stallion and mare now have increased chances to birth a Tier 7 or 8 horse.
Breeding Lv. 30 Tier 7 stallion and mare now have increased chances to birth a Tier 7 or 8 horse.
Breeding Lv. 30 Tier 8 stallion and mare now have an increased chance to birth a Tier 8 horse.

Tier 6 to 7 Wild Horse
● Changed the minimum and maximum tiers of Wild Horses in the world of Black Desert.

Before After
Tiers 1 to 5 Tiers 6 to 7
– Tier 7 Wild Horses will be somewhat rare to find, with a slightly higher chance of appearing in Drieghan.
▲ Added Tier 7 Wild Horse Type
 
New Tier 8 Horse Types
● Added 4 new types of Tier 8 Horse.
▲ 2 Added Tier 8 Horse Types
 

Krogdalo’s blessing has also been imparted to horse trainers as well. Now Adventurers will receive up to 75% increased Mount EXP (previously up to 40%) based on their Training Mastery. We’ve also increased the value of horses as well. Now Tier 1 to 8 horses will fetch slightly higher prices from Imperial Delivery and Horse Market.

 

Training Mastery Effect – Increased Mount EXP Gains

● Increased Mount EXP gains from Training Mastery from up to 40% to up to 75%.
