Black Desert
Regarding the Black Desert Steam App ID
First off, thank you to all our Adventurers who enjoy playing Black Desert through the Steam platform. We want to announce that the separately managed, Black Desert and Black Desert Online, Steam titles will be unified into a singular Black Desert title during the maintenance on June 23 (Wed).
Once this happens, Adventurers in North America, Europe, Russia, Turkey & MENA, Thailand, and the Southeast Asia regions will be able to play Black Desert under one Steam Store page, and freely discuss and share their thoughts in one community.
Please note that the unification of Steam App ID does not mean that the game servers are being unified; you will still be playing on your existing region’s server after this change.
Furthermore, we ask that you carefully read the following information.
1. There will be two titles displayed in your Library.
After the maintenance, you will now see two titles, Black Desert and Black Desert (Retired).
2. If you want to play the game, you must select the Black Desert title.
Once you select Black Desert, you’ll be able to access the designated server according to your Steam account’s country/region.
3. If you select Black Desert (Retired), you will not be able to access the game.
While you will download the Black Desert client if you select Black Desert (Retired), you will not be able to launch the game even if the download is completed.
4. After a certain period of time, only the Black Desert title will remain.
Once this happens, all you have to do is select the Black Desert title to play the game. Please always make sure to select the Black Desert title to play the game.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact us at Customer Support.
Happy adventuring!
[NA/EU] Patch Notes Summary - September 28, 2022
Greetings Adventurers,
Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on September 28, 2022 (Wed).
Guild Boss Subjugation Combat and Loot Changes
We changed parts of the “Guild Boss Subjugation” content where Adventurers would defeat boss monsters with fellow adventurers and guild members. This change came about when we were thinking about creating a “merry gathering” where Adventurers can come together about once a week to have fun. With this update, the “Getting Ready for Guild Boss Changes!” event will begin to heighten the enjoyment of the guild boss content.
The event will include encounters with Khan, Giant Mudster, Ferrid, and Ancient Puturum. We adjusted the difficulty of the bosses so that it will be fun to do at the end of the week, and adjusted the loot dropped to share the joy with your guild members. We hope that this will help in creating fond memories together with your fellow adventurers.
With the start of the event, we will continue to create even more opportunities where you will be able to create even deeper bonds with your guild members.
(Additionally, we are preparing event guild missions to help you enjoy this guild boss changes event.).

[NA/EU] Patch Notes Summary - September 21, 2022
Greetings Adventurers,
Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on September 21, 2022 (Wed).
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.
- 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%.
Increased Horse Market/Imperial Delivery Prices
● Increased the prices of Tier 1 to 8 horses on the Horse Market and Imperial Delivery (sold).
- Made the following price adjustments according to the horse's level and number of skills learned.
* The price of your mount varies based on its growth level and the number of skills learned for the Horse Market, Breeding Market, or Imperial Delivery (sold). A courser with all courser skills learned will now fetch a 2.7 times greater price on the Horse Market.
Added Training EXP Increase Effect to Trainer's Clothes
● Added Training EXP Increase effect to Manos, Izaro, and Loggia Trainer's Clothes from +8 enhancement levels.
* Loggia Trainer's Clothes
* Izaro Trainer's Clothes
* Manos Trainer's Clothes
Added Training Leap Quests
We've added new leap quests for Training. Similar to leap quests for other Life Skills, these require that you reach a certain Life Skill level to accept each quest, and they will grant a large amount of Training EXP upon completion. We've also added "Family leap quests" available once per Family once you've completed these quests, in the spirit of relishing in Krogdalo's blessing. Complete these Family quests to obtain a skill change coupon, a Premium Horse Appearance Change Coupon, and other goodies to help you on your path to becoming the best Trainer.
● Added new Training leap quests.
- The following leap quests can be accepted and completed once per character.
Honor to the Training Family Quests
