Greetings Adventurers, Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on August 31, 2022 (Wed).

Marni's Realm - Aakman Temple/Hystria Ruins AdditionMarni's Realm is now available for both Hystria Ruins and Aakman Temple.

Both monster zones require a slightly different method of entry, as you cannot navigate in the desert.

Therefore, you will first have to find your way into these monster zones and go to the designated location to enter "Marni's Realm. "

(We have designated the two most preferred locations in both monster zones as the point of entry. Please refer to the screenshot below. )

● Applied the following changes to Marni's Realm:- "Aakman Temple" and "Hystria Ruins" have been added as Marni's Realm-supported monster zones.

Marni's Realm - Aakman TempleMarni's Realm - Hystria RuinsNode/Conquest War ImprovementsThis update brings about quality of life improvements and balancing to building siege weapons and annexes during Node and Conquest Wars.

First off, you'll be able to change the highlight color of other guild names, thus making it easier to discern between friend or foe.

In addition, for more convenient installation of forts or annexes, we reduced the construction time to 1 second and adjusted the types of terrain required for construction as well.

With the remote construction function added prior, we hope this update's additions also serve to be useful for our Node and Conquest War engineers.

Last but not least, we made Node and Conquest War forts, command posts, and annexes a bit sturdier, making them slightly more impervious to normal attacks so these buildings wouldn't be destroyed too quickly.

However, we also increased the damage of elephants and the ballista to retain the destructive power of siege weapons as well.

● Added the function to designate the highlighted color of guilds in Node and Conquest Wars. -

The button to designate guild colors can be found in the Guild window under the Occupying Area tab. -

You will need to be of Guild Officer rank or higher to change these colors once a Node/Conquest War has begun. -

For Node Wars, a temporary name will be displayed in the Set Node/Conquest War Guild Colors UI. Once you discover a fort in-game, the participating guild's name will be displayed.

- All guilds under one alliance will be designated under a single color. ● Changed so the number of installed forts on the World Map (M) are now displayed an hour before Node/Conquest War begins.

● Improved so you can use hotkeys (1 to 0) to install annexes with the construction tools during Node/Conquest War.

● Improved so you can check War Installation Info when using annex construction tools in the Node/Conquest War.

● Changed the installation time for Fort/Command Post/Field HQ and all annex buildings from 15 to 1 second while Node/Conquest War is not underway.

- Installation time still remains 15 seconds when a Node/Conquest War is underway.

● Adjusted the terrain requirements for installing Fort/Command Post/Field HQ and all annex buildings for Node/Conquest Wars. - You can now install structures even on terrain with a slight incline.

Previously, players were guided in the safest route possible to ensure no significant threats occurred on their adventure, and this sometimes meant the long way around was taken.

To minimize these aspects, players will now be taken to a more efficient route. The issue of obstacles not being detected, and players simply being guided in a straight line, has also been improved.
