Character

Developer Commentary

Seraph delivers swift and precise slashes under Lux Exsoluta, and deals powerful, fatal blows under Nox Exsoluta.
The versatility of her dual Primal Sacred Power is what she wields to dominate the battlefield.

With this update, to improve her somewhat underwhelming hunting efficiency under Lux Exsoluta, we added skill combos and increased the attack speed as well as the attack range for her skills.

Enjoy Seraph's swift and impactful combat with more precise slashes and stylish combos.

We are also constantly monitoring the combat statistics for other classes,
and we will continue to improve the combat gameplay in a way that maximizes the fun of combat by utilizing the unique characteristics of each class.

New Content and Improvements

Developer Commentary

The hunting zone exclusive to season characters, "Resonating Beach," used to be where season characters could obtain materials to enhance season gear. It had fewer rewards compared to normal hunting zones, and was visited for specific purposes.


However, even with minimal rewards, characters could obtain rewards after their Adventuring Fervor was depleted,
which caused season characters to postpone their season completion to access Resonating Beach.

With this update, non-season characters can also access Resonating Beach.

The purchase limit for its entry items is also adjusted to 14 per Season, so any character in your Family can access Resonating Beach whenever you like.
With this improvement, Resonating Beach will be much more accessible to Adventurers.


- Non-season characters can now also enter Resonating Beach.
- The following measures were taken for Tuvala Scrolls:
ㆍ Tuvala Scrolls will no longer expire.
ㆍ Changed the purchase limit for Tuvala Scrolls.
Before: 14 per week (season characters only)
After: 14 per Season per Family (both season and non-season characters)
※ Tuvala Scrolls purchased between the update maintenance on Dec 16, 2025 (Tue) and Dec 21, 2025 (Sun), 23:59 will count toward the Family limit of 14.
※ The purchase limit for Tuvala Scrolls will reset every Season.
ㆍ Unused Tuvala Scrolls will be deleted at the end of the Season.

- Sangoon's Shadow, Bamboo Legion Lieutenant's Shadow, and Duoksini's Shadow, which spawn with Bulgasal at Geunjeongjeon Hall, will now drop Nightmare Fragment x10 upon defeat. This only applies to the first Boss defeated among the three.

- The [Auto-Path] button in the Cursed Pirate Island menu will now lead the character to the Captain of the Neftari even when no exploration time remains.

- Towns will be decorated with a Christmas theme.


- Added a Christmas-themed Sleep Mode screen.

※ The Christmas theme will be removed during the update maintenance on Dec 30 (Tue).

- Urugon's HP Bar will now always be displayed at the top in Urugon Temple.
- Removed the NEW tag from Cradle of Fairykind and Stellar Brooch.
- Removed the NEW tag from Cursed Pirate Island.

ㆍDetails: Hot Time effects will apply when defeating normal field monsters under Adventuring Fervor during the designated period.
※ Hot Time Effects: Combat EXP +100%, Item Drop Rate +100%
ㆍPeriod: Dec 24 (Wed), 00:00 – Dec 28 (Sun), 23:59

New Class: Seraph

Developer Commentary

Darkness descends where the light shines.
"Seraph," a sanctified sentinel, unleashes the primal sacred power of both darkness and light.

Seraph wields "Sacramentum," a greatsword imbued with the Primal Sacred Power, and unleashes that power in the form of either darkness or light.

Under Lux Exsoluta (light), her combat style shifts toward precise slashes and swift combos, taking control of the entire battlefield.

Her skill combos become much faster under Lux Exsoluta.
Combining this with movement skills will deliver a thrilling sense of speed and dazzling combos.

On the other hand, Nox Exsoluta (darkness) unleashes foreboding blows with enhanced attack range.
Powerful areal attacks and final blows can effectively break through enemy formations, bringing battles to an end with formidable presence.

We invite Adventurers to embark on a new journey with Seraph and experience a whole new combat style transcending darkness and light.

- Added a new class "Seraph."
ㆍSeraph can only equip Universal Main Weapons and Sub-Weapons.

The New Winter Season has begun.

Additionally, while the previous Mega Growth Boost buff would wear off when the character completes the season or reached Lv 80,
the buff will last for 30 days regardless of character level or season completion in this season, greatly boosting the character growth of new and returning Adventurers even after season completion.

The Secrua Crystals, as announced in previous notices, have been reset to Mystical Grade.
The Crystal can be re-upgraded to Eternal grade in this season as well,

[Level V]
ㆍAdventurers of Rank 2 or lower will now obtain more Chaos Cores, Sealed Charms of Succession, and Sun Crystals upon defeating Turaka.

Developer Commentary

Damages inflicted to World Bosses have been adjusted so that only a percentage of skill damage is actually inflicted to the Boss to prevent it from being defeated too quickly.
However, skills with more hits benefited from this adjustment when computing the damage rankings in the same way.

With this update, to improve on this discrepancy between the actual skill damage and rankings, while World Bosses still take a percentage of the actual skill damage,
damage rankings will now reflect the actual skill damage. Due to this change, damage multipliers against World Bosses for all classes will also be adjusted.

We hope the new rankings computation system will reflect Adventurers' progress more accurately.

- Changed how inflicted damage rankings for World Bosses are computed.
ㆍBefore: rankings were computed based on a percentage of skill damage inflicted
ㆍAfter: rankings are computed based on the actual skill damage inflicted

- Adjusted the damage multiplier against World Bosses for all classes with the change in rankings computation:

New Story: Memory of Darkness and Light

Developer Commentary

There are ominous rumors of cultists conducting a resurrection ritual to summon the evil god spreading across Serendia.
To put these rumors to rest and stop the resurrection ritual, Adventurer heads toward Serendia.

Numerous youths have gone missing due to cultist activities,
and a father from Dernyl Farm asks the Adventurer to look for his missing daughter.

Tracing the rumors and what the cultists have left behind,
Adventurer arrives at the Bloody Monastery, where the cultists dwell.

There, they encounter the resurrection ritual of Kzarka, discover where the missing people have been, and recall a faint memory of someone else...

"Memory of Darkness and Light" tells a story about the new class exclusive to Black Desert Mobile.
It will help you understand her past and how she started her long journey.

Cradle of Fairykind and New Fairy Brooch

Developer Commentary

The Fairy has been accompanying Adventurers on their journey since September 2022, when she was first rescued from the Cradle of Fairykind.

Now, the old calamity strikes again and rifts are opening in the Cradle of Fairykind.
Rescue the Fairies in danger and receive their token of gratitude from the new content "Cradle of Fairykind!"

Adventurers can enter the Cradle of Fairykind once a day and defeat monsters to weaken the rifts and transform them into Chaos Rifts.
Fairy's Flower Buds can be rescued by closing the Chaos Rifts, and Adventurers can obtain "pwesents of gwatitude" from the fairies, which contain materials to enhance or upgrade the Fairy Brooches.

Additionally, the Solar Brooch and Lunar Brooch can now be upgraded to Eternal-grade, and a third brooch, "Stellar Brooch", which increases damage to Adventurers, is now available.
We hope that Adventurers can further boost their Fairy's growth through the Cradle of Fairykind.

Developer Commentary

We are carefully reviewing feedback from all Adventurers regarding recent adjustments to grab skills made in the updates on Apr 29 and Aug 5.
We have analyzed this feedback and confirmed that grab skills are used with an understanding of the risks and consequences upon use.

After these updates, the percentage of characters with grab skills has decreased from 33% to 27%, and this percentage is becoming the new equilibrium.
However, classes without grab skills have had to remain alert at all times for possible grabs when engaging in melee combat against classes with grab skills.

With this update, we added Grab Immunity to skills for classes that lack grab skills to address the issue and encourage more diverse strategies.

We hope this update can enhance their combat performance and encourage more classes to shine on the battlefield.

We will continue to monitor gameplay to further enhance your gameplay experience.


- Added Grab Immunity to the following skills:

Classes Skills
Dosa Summer Breeze
Blade Master Mountain Divide
※ Changed to last unti the attack hits.
Drakania Ascent
Lahn Four Point Splatter
Lancer Wave of Light
Reaper Darkness Approaching
Warlord Upper Hand
Berserker Frenzied Strikes
Void Knight Slanted Balance
Lotus Razorblade Corolla
Primrose Petal Ward
※ Not applied to Flow enhancements.
Eclipse Royal Fencing: Counter
Corsair Overflow
Hashashin Shadow Slicer
Hwaryeong Twirling Foxflare

- Improved the skill description for the activation condition of Chaser's Instinct.
ㆍAffected classes: Windwalker, Blade Master, Lotus, Eclipse, Deadeye
ㆍBefore: upon using Evasion after using designated skills 3 times
ㆍAfter: upon using Evasion while moving after using designated skills 3 times

- Improved the skill description for Plunder.
ㆍBefore: Plunder enemy AP, DP on hit

ㆍAfter: Plunder enemy AP, DP on enemies in Attack Range (Ignore Invincibility, Forward Guard)

ㆍ After: Maintain Forward Guard for 1 sec after the piercing attack of Shield Charge, Charging Thrust, or Piercing Spear

New Content and Improvements

Developer Commentary

Outlaw Zone has been available in the recently revamped Cursed Pirate Island, where it became a hunting zone for a certain amount of time.

However, some Adventurers felt burdened by having to engage in combat with other Adventurers anywhere on the island.


To address this, we removed the Outlaw Zone from the region and increased the rewards to match the quantity previously available with the Outlaw Zone activated.


PvP will be available in Madman John's domain, and Adventurers will be able to engage in combat with other Adventurers except for guild members.


For Adventurers seeking greater rewards at higher risk, Madman John's domain has been expanded, and monster groups within it will spawn more monsters than the rest of the island.
So, hunting in PvP zones will yield more rewards, even more than rewards with the Outlaw Zone activated in the previous version of Cursed Pirate Island.


We hope this patch will ease the burden while retaining enjoyable gameplay.

We will continue to monitor gameplay to provide you with more enjoyable content.

- Removed the Outlaw Zone from Cursed Pirate Island.
ㆍCombat against other Adventurers (except guild members) is available in Madman John's domain as before.

- Increased the size of Madman John's domain.
ㆍIncreased the number of monsters spawned for monster groups within Madman John's domain.

Adventurer Progression Log Revamp

Developer Commentary

Adventurer Progression Log is designed as a guide to introduce various means to boost CP for new and returning Adventurers.

With this update, we added new quests to the Adventurer Progression Log to provide Adventurers with essential rewards, and revamped the rewards for existing quests by increasing their quantities, further accelerating character growth.

First, six new quests will grant Adventurers Powerful Magical Black Stones. This item is used for Awakened Enhancement, and using this item guarantees a 100% success rate when enhancing their gear from +6 to +7.

Adventurers can obtain Pure Magical Black Stones from the ongoing event "Gear Enhancement for Rookie Adventurers!",
which can be used for Awakened Enhancement, enhancing their gear from +5 to +6. Equipping the +6 gear then completes the quests to obtain Powerful Magical Black Stones.

Additionally, we added quests that grant Knowledge EXP Scrolls as rewards and adjusted the quantity of rewards that are crucial to character growth.
Adventurers can now obtain more Black Shrine Entry Passes, Embers of Hongik, and Voidsent Eyes from these quests and will be able to obtain Eternal-grade equipment much sooner.

We will continue to improve the game system to ensure a stable growth for both new and returning Adventurers.

Target Lock

Developer Commentary

Target Lock aids Adventurers by locking their attacks onto the desired target during heated battle.
This feature is especially crucial against Bosses such as Kvariak and Bulgasal, where Adventurers have to fight against both the Boss and other Adventurers.

Adventurers who have set this feature to [All] had to manually target moving Bosses mid-combat,
while Adventurers who have set this feature to [Adventurer] had to change the setting beforehand, or the target lock would not lock onto Bosses when there are other Adventurers around.

To address these inconveniences, the [Target Lock on Hold] feature now allows Adventurers to lock their attacks onto high-rank Monsters such as Elite Monsters or Bosses under any circumstances.

With this feature activated, Adventurers can hold the target lock button next to the skill buttons
and set their target lock onto high-rank monsters, whether their Target Lock setting is set to [All] or [Adventurer].

We hope this update will allow Adventurers to further tailor the target lock feature to their unique playstyle.

- Added a feature to prioritize Monsters when holding the target lock button at [Menu] - [Settings] - [Convenience] - [Target Lock].
ㆍTarget lock will prioritize Monsters with higher rank (Bosses, elites, etc.) and lock attacks onto the target when held.
※ This feature will prioritize Monsters over Adventurers even if Target Lock is set to [Adventurer].

- Added a shortcut key to activate [Target Lock on Hold (Prioritize Monsters)].
ㆍPress the corresponding keys on your keyboard (or buttons on your joystick) to activate the feature.

Devices Input
Keyboard Left shift + U
Left shift + Num7
Gamepad Press both joysticks simultaneously
