Greetings Adventurers,
Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on July 3, 2024 (Wed). Today’s patch contains 132 updates and is approximately 1.96 GB.
Appearing from the Clouds, Vanishing with the Fog – Sangdo’s Dosa Emerges!
The 28th class of Black Desert, “Dosa,” from Sangdo School of the Land of the Morning Light has arrived to meet adventurers.
Dosa draws inspiration from the renowned Joseon general, Yi Sunsin’s Hwando, and his Gombangdae embodies the free-spirited image of the Joseon-era Do wielder, Jeon Woochi. We have incorporated the unique essence of the Land of the Morning Light to ensure that adventurers playing as Dosa can enjoy a blend of our cultural charm.
▲ Dosa from Sangdo School of the Land of the Morning Light has arrived to meet adventurers.
Delving deeper, Dosa channels the luminous energy through his hwando and umbral energy through his gombangdae. By combining these energies, he can unleash a powerful force Taeguk on enemies.
Each skill is imbued with the essence of the seasons—Spring Frost, Summer Breeze, Autumnal Blitz, and Winter Squall—reflecting the trigrams of the Taeguk flag.
▲ Autumnal Blitz
▲ Taeguk
Dosa’s Azure Sky outfit features traditional Korean aesthetic, inscribed with ancient Korean poetry on both his robe and hwando. We’ve designed various animations, including idle and combat stances, to capture these cultural features.
▲ Sijo (traditional Korean poetry), Song of Five Friends
▲ Sijo (traditional Korean poetry), Morning Mist – Adapted
We hope adventurers will love the new class, “”Dosa,”” which seamlessly blends Korean charm into the action-packed world of Black Desert.
And now, the most anticipated topic—Dosa’s Awakening. As previously mentioned, we will gather feedback and preferences from adventurers post-release to create an Awakening that you will all love.
Many of you are already speculating and sharing your thoughts about the Dosa’s Awakening. We will listen closely to deliver an impressive Awakening for Dosa.
We hope you enjoy the newly added Dosa (Succession) today.
Thank you.

Arena of Solare
Greetings, Adventurers.
We’re excited to announce the start of the regular season for the Arena of Solare!
The Arena of Solare is a 3v3 team PvP content that utilizes exclusive gear and matchmaking. It’s designed to be approachable for those new to Black Desert’s PvP system or adapting to a new character, while also providing a thrilling experience for our seasoned PvP enthusiasts.
To ensure fair play, your starting score for this season will be influenced by your final score from the previous season. This means you’ll likely be matched with players of similar skill levels, making it a great opportunity for newcomers to get their feet wet and for veterans to engage in fierce battles for higher ranks.
This season, familiar locations will serve as battlefields, and we’ve made some changes to the exclusive gear items. We’ve added a damage reduction bonus based on DP, and accordingly, increased the AP (Kzarka gear: 255 → 264). Additionally, items like the Narc Ear Accessory and Offin Tett’s Radiant Main Weapon will no longer be available, and we’ve adjusted the effects of the Slumbering Sage’s Armor.
Magic Crystals have also seen some changes. The Magic Crystal of Infinity – Critical Hit has been replaced with the Corrupted Magic Crystal, and other crystals have had their effects tweaked based on their usage in the previous season to provide more strategic choices.
We invite all adventurers to join us in the regular season of the Arena of Solare starting July 3rd across all regions. Your participation is greatly appreciated.
