So Kamasylvia Part 2 is finally launching in the west on Nov. 15th.
Most of the new areas are for 220ap/lvl 60+. But there are lots of new grinding spots. There is even an open end dungeon for groups of high lvl players, that can obtain the new Lemoria Armor Set.
Over in Korea, a new class is coming out. This class is again female and she uses a mini-crescent scythe with a ribbon and a short sword in the off-hand. She can also glide through the air. The new class is called "Ran".
NA hasn't even had Mystic release yet.
Mystic comes out end of this month. Or is supposed to anyway.
Pearl Abyss had a press conference this past weekend. It was Black Deserts third anniversary, so they had a mini convention over in Korea called BD FESTA Event.
Here were some of the highlights, and what will be coming to the game in the future :
New class Lahn
PA aanounced a new female martial arts class for Black Desert Online. Her name is Lahn and she uses a unique crescent scythe with deadly flair and carries a short sword in the off-hand. Aside from her combat abilities, she can dash through the air with incredible speed. (this is the RAN class that I already talked about)
Client/UI improvements
PA have successfully reduced Black Desert Online’s client size from 51 GB to 27 GB and streamlined it to increase performance, with higher FPS possible depending on hardware. These improvements will be implemented starting this week and will be finalised by Dec. 13th.
Black Desert Online’s UI is also receiving a makeover that lets players decide how much information is displayed on screen. In Action mode, only UI elements that are connected with combat (HP, quick slots, buff/debuff icons, etc.) are visible. In addition, Pearl Abyss is working on a 3D mini-map that not only highlights points of interest but also shows elevations in the landscape.
Better quests, life skilling and tutorials
Many improvements will be implemented in Black Desert Online in the near future. Existing content will be enriched to make it more enjoyable. Players will be able to make money in the Red Battlefield and additional mini-games will be introduced to make material gathering more fun. Other measurements such as improvements to training levels and fail stacks for horse Awakening will be made to improve training of horses as well. When a player gets stuck in the middle of progress, they will be able to turn to tutorials to help them realize what they have to do next. The development of this feature is almost finished.
The game’s tutorials and quest systems are receiving an overhaul. The tutorials will allow players to be better acquainted with the systems of the game. To revamp the quest system, a new feature called the ‘Story Book’ (name tentative) will be introduced. With the Story Book, players can make money by doing quests all day and these quests will be made a lot more enjoyable. Story Book will allow not only a silver bonus but also gives a Combat EXP Bonus and Skill EXP Bonus.
New Dreegan Region
Dreegan is a new territory in Black Desert Online inhabited by ferocious dragons. Players will have to engage in a new form of raid play in order to survive this inhospitable place. This new content is planned for early next year.
Conquest War Changes
To make the conquest wars even more enjoyable, new rules and battle formats will be introduced. The Guild Battle will consist of three options: a 20 vs 20 players mode, a 5 vs 5 mode or an all-out model. A new feature is under development that allows individual players, who are not part of a guild, to participate in guild battles. More information about this system will be announced in the near future.
More Features/Improvements
The standard main-weapon skills will increase in power to be on par with the current awakening-weapon skills, so players can choose the skills that serve them best. Known as Absolute skills, these will allow players to switch combat strategies on the fly, making for even more diverse and engaging combos and movesets. Pearl Abyss has announced they are working on an update to the skill customization system, where players can combine & fuse certain skills to create new ones. What's different with this announcement is that players will be able to fuse skills of their choice to create new skills instead of following the fusion formulas available. When this feature is fully available for all players is still unknown.
A newly developed feature is the ‘Character Tag’ system which allows players to switch classes live without disconnecting from the game. For example, while you are leveling your Striker, you can switch to your alternate Ranger class to level at the exact same spot. The ‘tagged’ characters will share an emergency escape cooldown and there will be a brief loading screen. This brand new system will be introduced in South Korea next week.
Another new feature in development is the ‘Gear Imprint System’. Players can attach their Family Name to weapons and armor.
PA also hopes developer-player relations will be improved by delivering more detailed patch notes, this will be achieved by communicating with the community more often about future updates and current topics.
In this announcement, PA also mentioned that all worldwide Black Desert Online players will receive a free maid of choice in December after fulfilling a special Black Spirit quest, available to characters that are level 50 or above.
Mystic next week. made mine.
The new class Ran (or Lahn, depends on how you pronounce it) comes out in Korea next week . This class should be coming west in Q1 2018.
Seems like a big enough change to post about: you no longer have to reset your knowledge to get higher levels of it. I.E. if you get B on a Helm Big Hammer, you can continue killing Helm Big Hammers until it upgrades to A and S.
You can also mix/match outfit pieces now for full set effects. All those people who love style and collect outfits rejoice.

Over in Korea PA released Lahn's awakening weapon. It's a dual sword reverse grip that gives her a huge AOE, and range attack. Lahn has the lowest HP and defence in the game (makes her even squishier than wizzy's) but man can she pump out the offense.
Kakao has decided to add another PVP server on Feb 21st. Because the last one was just sooo popular...lol
Oh well at least it's another server where you can farm in peace, because you'll never see another 50+ player outside of safe areas.
Iirc there are different rules for this new pvp server but, yeah, no one cares.
Seems utterly pointless to have PvP servers in a game where every server is a PvP server. Are these the ones where there's no karma? Who cares honestly. You're dumb if you let yourself get karmabombed to begin with.
Yes, these are the "no karma" ones. So basically anyone you'd usually want to kill for griefing your rotation (non deccable guilds or guildless people) aren't on that channel anyway. The running joke is that people go there to actually farm there in peace. Though I do know that sometimes a few streamers will organize FFA pvp days there just for fun.
Finally something useful. Absolute Skills coming on the 28th
Over in Korea, BDO has come out with new epic quest line for players. At the end of the quest line you have to fight Laila: Daughter of Theiah Queen Fairy!! You will get a “Sealed Fairy’s Wing” to obtain a Fairy.
- Sealed Fairy’s Wing is obtainable multiple times by completing a repeatable quest. After you compete the quest line.
- You will get a Fairy with random tier (1 to 4). You can register the Fairy underneath the Young Kamasylve Tree in Kamasylve Temple.
- If you leave Young Kamasylve Tree, the registration will be canceled.
- A Fairy can be summoned by clicking on the Fairy icon next to the Maid icon at the top left corner. You can summon, level up, and let go of the Fairy.
- You can only have one Fairy at a time. In order to get a new Fairy, you need to let go of your old Fairy first.
- When you let go of the Fairy, you will get Fairy Powder based on the Fairy’s tier and level.
- All Fairies have Luck +1 has a base skill, and will get 1 additional skill as its level goes up by 10. Skill rank will be between I to V (will be random), and you cannot change the rank of an acquired skill.
- Fairies have higher max level in higher tier, which means that Fairies have higher number of maximum skills in higher tiers. Also, Fairies in higher tiers can learn skills with higher ranks.
