Black Desert Online players have just received a major game update today, February 22, featuring full reworks and important adjustments to contribution points in specific production nodes. Those tired of setting sail many times to make their profits due to Barter limitations have received some love in the latest patch, with Barter exchange limits slightly increased.
The biggest addition is a full change of Wizard’s game model. Pearl Abyss wrote in Black Desert’s patch notes that Wizard’s “body shape has changed, but the feel of playing Wizard should stay the same as much as possible.” A full video showing changes in detail is also linked in the patch notes.
Here are the full patch notes of the latest Black Desert Online update.
Improvement on Wizard’s Posture
“Today’s patch includes a change to the Wizard’s model.
We’ve been preparing this change since September of 2021 and we’re pleased to finally deliver it today.
This was possible thanks to your widespread support of us and the Wizard class.
Thank you again for your patience and support.
As we have completely changed Wizard’s body shape, what we thought most important was, “The body shape has changed, but the feel of playing Wizard should stay the same as much as possible.” This is because we didn’t want you to experience any change from the gameplay that you are already familiar with. Therefore, we worked on all the animations for a long time while simultaneously testing the way he feels to play, but please understand that some animations may feel slightly different from the previous ones.
In the case of clothing, all of them were reworked to fit the new model. You can see that the overall silhouette of the Wizard has become more striking, as now he has strong and stiff shoulders.
Lastly, with the model change, the previously saved customizations are no longer available. The previous customizations of Wizard that you loved will be preserved via the “Wizard Archive,” so please be understanding even if it’s unfortunate.
We hope your adventurers with the reworked Wizard will be that much more enjoyable.
Thank you.
* Although it was not fixed today, we are diligently looking into the bug where the Forward Guard effect of the “Chilling Wave” is occasionally not applied. We’re working on it so that it can be fixed in due time.”
- Improved the Wizard’s model.
- As a result, some of the animations of the Wizard have been changed to match his new model.
- The customization information of the Wizard has been reset. All previous customizations of the Wizard uploaded in the Beauty Album now can only be viewed from the Wizard Archive category of the Beauty Album on the website.

Contribution Points were originally set when these nodes were released as new territories, but as time has passed and with new territories are on the way, we decided that the original requirement is too high.

We have also begun improvements to the management of workers. For starters, we have reduced the worker promotion test duration and reduced the required EXP for changing worker skills. The upcoming patches will also see several more improvements such as new worker skills and the ability to change the portrait of workers to an image of your choice (just as with the Character Selection window).
Improvements on Worker Promotion
- Reduced the worker promotion test duration to the following:
- Worker promotion test duration : 24 hours → 8 hours
* For workers undergoing the promotion test, 16 hours will be deducted from the remaining time during the February 22, (Wed) maintenance.
- With the adjustments made to the worker promotion test duration, the number of Pearls required for the Worker Instant Promotion has been adjusted according to the remaining time.
- Adjusted the worker’s promotion success rate per level to the following:
- From Lv. 10 Workers, the success rate will increase by 2% per level, and pass the promotion test to the below rate.
| Promotion | Worker Lv. 10 | Worker Lv. 20 | Worker Lv. 30 |
| Normal → Skilled | 35% → 50% | 55% → 70% | 80% → 90% |
| Skilled → Professional | 25% → 30% | 35% → 50% | 45% → 70% |
| Professional → Artisan | 10% (same) | 20% → 30% | 30% → 50% |
Reduced the required EXP for Change Worker Skill
- Reduced the required EXP for one skill change has been reduced to the following:
- Amount of EXP required to change skill: 50% → 20%
Increased the appearance probability of Professional/Skilled workers.
- The probability of workers appearing in each city and village upon hiring a worker via [Work Supervisor] NPC has been adjusted for each level.
- Increased the probability of professional level workers appearing by approximately 2 times.
- Increased the probability of skilled level workers appearing by appoximately 1.4 times.
- With the increased probability of professional and skilled workers appearing, the probability of normal level workers appearing has been reduced.
- Unified the appearing probability of same level workers (Giant, Human, Goblin, etc.) to be equal.
- However, the appearing probability of workers hired via [Work Supervisor] NPC of Old Wisdom per level remain the same.
- Fixed so related descriptions match the changes made above.
Increased Exchange Limit of Trade Items for Barter
With this update, we’ve increased the exchange limit per island for Barter to reduce the fatigue on our Adventurers by shortening the travel route each time you set sail. You can now spend less time to make greater profit, especially for level 5, with the increase in the exchange limit.
As much as Special Barter is enjoyable content available for Sailing, we’ve removed certain items and replaced them with items that are likely to be more appealing.
We will continue to find ways to not only increase your profit but also allow you to more conveniently enjoy Bartering.

We’ve brought great news for Adventurers who enjoy Housing content in Black Desert. You can now craft the items below, which you could previously only obtain in a few ways, including the Pearl Shop, from a Furniture Workshop. First, you can craft furniture special to each region from the Old Moon Furniture Workshops starting from Kamasylvia and Eilton. We are planning to continue adding more such crafting content, so we hope this update provides new opportunities for Adventurers who enjoy Housing content and for those who have been wanting to spruce up their unique homes.

Monster
Protty Cave and Sycraia Underwater Ruins are not easily accessible when compared to other zones, but they provide a unique underwater atmosphere. To reinforce this underwater theme, we’ve added the “Protty’s Song” buff which will act as a unique mechanic of these underwater zones. There are two different types of Protty’s Songs, and the buff will steadily increase in power as you spend more time in a zone. Also, we’ve increased the prices of junk items dropped from monsters in Protty Cave and Sycraia Underwater Ruins Upper Zone. With these changes, defeating monsters in these zones for a longer period of time will be a more enjoyable experience than before.
Improvements to Loot from Protty Cave and Sycraia Underwater Ruins (Upper Zone)
- Changed the price of an item that drops from enemies in Protty Cave. (The price of items obtained prior to this change will remain unchanged)
- Protty Fin 2,100 Silver → 10,500 Silver

* Your progress toward the next level of Protty’s Song will reset upon changing servers, moving to the character select screen, or leaving the zone.
- Sped up the respawn timer of “Ghost of Ash Forest,” which is a target monster for certain quests, by 10 times.
Mount
Epheria Galleon
You can now seize the opportunity to helm the greatest ship the Black Desert world has ever seen – the “Epheria Galleon!” However, we felt its size and firepower too great to permanently be under the possession of any one person, so we’ve been working on a variety of means to obtain temporary ownership of this vessel. One of these means involves Special Barter. Another, which won’t be updated today due to the working out of certain kinks, involves Guild Masters of a Guild/Alliance who’ve become a Lord after a Conquest War being able to utilize the “Present” system to award certain Guild Members with the special opportunity to commandeer this grand vessel. This and other means we will continue to work on to be released in the near future.
Special Barter
- When a Special Barter occurs during a Barter, there is a low chance for “Epheria’s Star” to appear.
- With Epheria’s Star in your inventory, you accept a special quest from “Philaberto Falasi” in Port Epheria. Complete this quest to obtain “Ship License: Epheria Galleon” and the [Captain Epheria] title, which is a temporary title that lasts for 7 days.
* You can only ride and control an Epheria Galleon if you have the [Captain Epheria] title, and you can only access other features if you do not have the title or if it has expired.
Epheria Galleon Details
| Ship Durability | 3,000,000 |
| Ration | 3,000,000 |
| Inventory | 50 |
| Weight Limit | 30,000 LT |
| Cannon | 4 on each side |
| Cannonball Capacity | 2,000 |
| Cannon Fire Rate | 10 sec |
| Speed | 180% |
| Acceleration | 185% |
| Turn | 170% |
| Brake | 175% |
| Cabin | – |
* The fire rate and max range of Epheria Galleon’s cannons are identical to Epheria Carrack’s cannons.
* Epheria Galleons cannot equip ship equipment.
* The cost of repairs for an Epheria Galleon is 10 million Silver per 10% damage. (Damage increases upon remote collection or ship destruction)
* Like Epheria Carracks, Epheria Galleons need to be supplied upon initial registration.
Quest & Knowledge
Many Adventurers who wish to craft a carrack are doing daily sailing quests, and they have pointed out how prerequisite quests can cause inconveniences by extending sailing routes. To solve this problem, we removed the prerequisites for daily sailing quests so you can plan out efficient sailing routes that encompass all your quest objectives at once. Furthermore, you can now receive all rewards from completing these quests instead of selecting one reward.
Improvements to Oquilla’s Eye Daily Sailing Quests (Combat)
- Changed the following quests so you can accept and progress them without completing prerequisite quests.
- [Daily] Old Moon Guild’s Candidum Hunter
- [Daily] Old Moon Guild’s Nineshark Hunter
- [Daily] Old Moon Guild’s Black Rust Hunter
- [Daily] Old Moon Guild’s Young Candidum Hunter
- [Daily] Old Moon Guild’s Young Nineshark Hunter
- [Daily] Old Moon Guild’s Young Black Rust Hunter
* However, you can still choose and progress only one regular sea monster quest or young sea monster quest a day.
- The objectives of the following quests have been changed, and their rewards now match regular sea monster quests.
| Quest | Objective | Reward |
| [Daily] Old Moon Guild’s Young Candidum Hunter | Defeat Young Candidum x1 → x5 | Contribution Point EXP Sailing EXP Moon Scale Plywood x5 → x10 |
| [Daily] Old Moon Guild’s Young Nineshark Hunter | Defeat Young Nineshark x1 → x5 | Contribution Point EXP Sailing EXP Moon Vein Flax Fabric x1 → x3 |
| [Daily] Old Moon Guild’s Young Black Rust Hunter | Young Black Rust x1 → x5 | Contribution Point EXP Sailing EXP Abyssal Gem x1 → Tear of the Ocean x1 |
Improvements to Oquilla’s Eye Daily Sailing Quests (Barter)
- Changed the following quests so you receive all the rewards instead of choosing only one.
| Quest | Objective | Reward |
| [Daily] Ravikel’s Test | Barter 5 Times | â–¼ Obtain All of the Following Rewards Sailing Skill EXP Oquilla Coin x1 Pure Pearl Crystal x2 Deep Sea Memory Filled Glue x8 Bright Reef Piece x8 |
| [Daily] For the Serendian Soldiers | Barter 10 Times | â–¼ Obtain All of the Following Rewards Sailing Skill EXP Oquilla Coin x1 Enhanced Island Tree Coated Plywood x10 Cox Pirates’ Artifact (Parley Expert) x1 |
Node & Conquest War
Change in requirements for participation opportunities to be restored
- The minimum requirements for participation opportunities to be restored for Node War have been changed as follows:
- Before: total number of enemy forts destroyed or enemies defeated/killed is 20 or greater
- After: total number of enemy forts destroyed or enemies defeated/killed is 50 or greater
- On servers where a Node/Conquest War is in progress, the DP of all adventurers’ mounts not participating in the war will be set to 0.
- Fixed the information in the tooltip regarding the return criteria for participation opportunities in occupied areas to match the changed criteria in Guild (G) – Guild Information.
NPC, Background, Sound
- Spring has arrived in Black Desert.
- Changed some backgrounds in Black Desert to reflect a spring theme.
UI
- Changed so now you can apply Hide mount’s gear option to each mount individually, not all mounts at once.
- The saved information on See Other’s Campsite option has been reset.
- Fixed the issue where mount gear is not hidden properly in certain situations after using some of the content, even though the Hide mount’s gear option is turned on.
- Expanded the space of the Black Spirit’s adventure completion reward item.
System
Previously, it took an hour to use Character Transport between towns via the Character Selection window. With the addition of the Magnus, the difficulty of traveling between towns has been greatly reduced. As an one hour requirement for Character Transport is deemed to be a bit too long now, we have adjusted it to 20 minutes. We hope that this will make it easier for adventurers to relocate characters scattered across the BDO world or transport sub-characters somewhere else.
Adjustment to the time required in Character Transport system
- Changed the time required for Character Transport from the Character Selection window from an hour to 20 minutes.
Web
- Changed the Wizard’s appearances registered in the Beauty Album to a category called “Wizard Archive”.

- Improved the UI for search results.
