MAJOR UPDATES - Enhancement UI Renewal
We've overhauled the Enhancement UI for a smoother, more intuitive experience. Along with refining the basic Enhancement UI, we've added a dedicated "Enhancement Inventory" so you can keep all enhancement materials in one place. We've also raised the trigger threshold for the Enhancement Chance confirmation window so it appears less often, making enhancement smoother.
Regarding the new "Enhancement Inventory," we found that new adventurers unfamiliar with Black Desert often struggle to organize or move enhancement materials. To help with this, enhancement materials will now be automatically sent to your Enhancement Inventory as soon as you acquire them.
- Overhauled the Enhancement UI.
- You can now select enhanceable gear from your inventory to enhance immediately.
- Improved Naderr's Band to be expanded by default.
- Changed the number of visible stacks on one screen to 10.
- Relaxed the conditions for displaying the Enhancement Chance confirmation window when enhancing following gear:
- Godr-Ayed Weapons, Fallen God's Armor, Labreska's Helmet, Dahn's Gloves, Ator's Shoes, etc.
- Press the "Enhancement Chance" area to select and apply items that increase Enhancement Chance.
- Separated tabs for Enhancement Chance items: one for items usable at +0 Enhancement Chance (e.g., Advice of Valks), and one for items selectable at +100 to +300 Enhancement Chance.
- You can confirm and apply Valks' Cry via the "Bonus" tab in the "Increase Chance" window on the right.
- Press the "Protection" area to select items that prevent enhancement level drops.
- Split the enhancement button into "Enhance (Protected)" and "Enhance." The "Enhance" button will only activate when no protection material is registered.
- You can select protection items directly when enhancing.
- Press the "Extract" area to convert the current Enhancement Chance into an item.
- You'll require the corresponding Blacksmith's Secret Book to extract the Enhancement Chance.
- Caphras Enhancement
- You can set Caphras enhanceable gear as the target, select Caphras Stones as the material, then perform Caphras Enhancement.
Enhancement Inventory
- Added the Enhancement Inventory, which allows for storing enhancement materials between characters in your Family.
- Any eligible items will be automatically stored in the Enhancement Inventory upon obtaining.
- The maximum slot count for this inventory is 192 slots with no weight restrictions. You can check and use Advice of Valks, Valks' Cry, Origin of Dark Hunger, and Devour for applicable gear from the Enhancement Chance window.
- Changed Advice of Valks to a Family-based item.
- Enhancement functions for items storable in the Enhancement Inventory are disabled if in the normal inventory.
- To use items stored in the Enhancement Inventory as processing materials, move them to your Inventory first. Only after moving them to your Inventory can you process, move to the Central Market warehouse, or exchange with an NPC.
- Controls similar to the Family Inventory.
-
- The following items can be stored in the Enhancement Inventory:
※ All items storable in the Enhancement Inventory have been moved accordingly with the Enhancement UI renewal update.

- All Secret Scrolls and Daybreak Stones have been removed. Each item in possession has been converted into 2,000,000 Silver and sent to your Central Market Warehouse.
- Changed the Kkebicharm, which previously required processing with Primordial Crystals to obtain Advice of Valks, so that you now receive Advice of Valks simply by using the item—no processing required.
- Changed the Enchanted Scroll (+130), previously issued as a Knowledge reward for the following, to Advice of Valks (+130).
- [Atoraxxion] Recover the Knowledge of Vahmalkea II, [Atoraxxion] Recover the Knowledge of Sycrakea II, [Atoraxxion] Recover the Knowledge of Yolunakea II, [Atoraxxion] Recover the Knowledge of Orzekea II

Trial Character Changes
Trial Characters are designed to help you practice each class in Black Desert more quickly and conveniently. As the average stats of characters on regular servers have recently increased, we're updating the stats and equipment of Trial Characters to reflect these latest standards.
Additionally, to ensure a fairer PvP environment between Trial Characters, we've standardized or disabled any factors—aside from the provided gear—that could affect their stats. This way, everyone can compete on a level playing field.

- Adjusted existing Trial Character levels to 62.
- This change will enable Trial Characters to learn the Lv. 62 passive skill, "Unyielding Might."

"Quick" Sailor Stat Adjustments
With the "Blue Battlefield" naval PvP update coming in November, we're adjusting certain sailor stats.
"Quick" sailors on large ships specialize in increasing cannon range. Our internal testing showed that crews made up entirely of "Quick" sailors could hit targets from beyond visual range, which risks over-emphasizing a single stat. So we've capped the maximum firing range for "Quick" sailors to line-of-sight distance. To compensate, we've widened the horizontal firing arc, giving you more options in various battle situations.
Thank you for your understanding as we work to keep naval combat balanced.
- Adjusted the stats for [Quick] Sailors as follows.
- Base Vision stat (cannon firing angle): 0.2% → 6.0%
- Vision stat’s level progression remains unchanged.
- Base Force stat (FocusFire range): 3% → 2%
- Updated the Force stat's level progression as shown below.
- Base Vision stat (cannon firing angle): 0.2% → 6.0%
