Epheria's Star
Ahead of the November launch of the new naval PvP content Blue Battlefield, we'd like to share upcoming adjustments to Epheria's Star.
Our goal is for Blue Battlefield to become a distinctive arena where adventurers who sail the Great Ocean can enjoy naval strategy and teamwork. However, since the Epheria Galleon (usable in Blue Battlefield) requires Epheria's Star to operate—and the item currently has no expiration—it has been possible to stockpile many and deploy multiple galleons at once. This risks creating an excessive power gap between guilds with many galleons and those without, undermining strategic and cooperative play.
To address this, Epheria's Star will become a time-limited item that expires 7 days after acquisition, helping Blue Battlefield remain a fair, strategy-driven naval node-war–style mode. (When you register Epheria's Star at the wharf to create a galleon, you will still be able to use that ship for 7 days, as before.)
These changes will take effect on Nov 13 (Thu). Existing items will be converted as follows:
- All [Guild] Epheria's Stars obtained as Conquest War rewards will be deleted. Regardless of your current holdings, your guild will receive 10 billion in guild funds per recorded acquisition.
(If the item was obtained while in an alliance, funds will be distributed according to the tax-share ratio set at alliance creation.)
- Epheria's Stars obtained individually via Special Barter will remain as currently held. Beginning Nov 13, newly obtained items will be 7-day time-limited.
- All [Guild] Epheria's Stars obtained as Conquest War rewards will be deleted. Regardless of your current holdings, your guild will receive 10 billion in guild funds per recorded acquisition.
(If the item was obtained while in an alliance, funds will be distributed according to the tax-share ratio set at alliance creation.)
- Epheria's Stars obtained individually via Special Barter will remain as currently held. Beginning Nov 13, newly obtained items will be 7-day time-limited.
Alongside this adjustment, we will add new sources for Epheria's Star and ease its acquisition, so you can encounter the Epheria Galleon more often.
This change is necessary to keep the Epheria Galleon and Blue Battlefield in balance. We understand it may cause some inconvenience, but we appreciate your understanding as we work to provide a more enjoyable naval combat experience.
We remain committed to delivering richer, more rewarding content across all activities in Black Desert.
Thank you.
Thank you.
- Epheria's Star and [Guild] Epheria's Star will be changed as follows:
- Date: Nov 13 (Thu) maintenance
- Change details:
| Before | After |
| No expiry upon obtaining | Expires in 7 days upon obtaining |
※ All [Guild] Epheria's Star in possession will be removed during this update.
※ Any Epheria's Star in possession will not be affected by this change during the update. Any Epheria's Star obtained after this update will expire in 7 days.
MONSTER
Pit of the Undying
- Improved the combat mechanics of certain bosses in the Pit of the Undying to reduce combat fatigue and enable more consistent clears.
 [Undying Shadow] Syahzar
|
Changed to apply AP & DP buffs at lower HP threshold than before. |
 [Lost Fruit] Ascendra
|
To address the unnecessary difficulty caused by random elements during her mechanic, we've improved the patterns as follows and adjusted the overall difficulty of successfully pulling off the mechanic.
Mechanic Start Times Matched
Changed the timing so that Kun’s roll and Ascendra’s susceptibility to CC now align. Fixed the issue where the timing was determined randomly, so pulling off the mechanic correctly now guarantees success. Ascendra Improvements
Increased the time Ascendra remains collapsed by 50% when successfully pulling off the mechanic. Changed the mechanic so Ascendra now displays a conversation balloon when the mechanic begins, making it easier to immediately recognize the start. Summon Kun Improvements
Increased Kun’s movement speed to the roll start position by 100%. Expanded the effective attack area where Kun can hit Ascendra by 50%. |
 [Iron Fist Champion] Duran
|
Grouped the CC effects applied to Duran as follows.
Changed the mechanic so that landing either effect in the same group counts as a success: Group A: Stun / Stiffness
Group B: Knockdown / Bound Group C: Knockback / Floating (e.g., Using a Floating skill instead of a Knockback skill will still count as a success for the mechanic.)
|
 [Undying Shadow] Kharoxia
|
Reduced the shield spin speed by 200% compared to before. |
 [Undying Shadow] Kyrill
|
Greatly reduced the frequency at which Kyrill teleported after attacking. Removed the attack that dealt damage through Forward Guard. |
 [Undying Shadow] Gotha Rensa
|
Fixed the awkward footstep animations. |
 [Undying Shadow] Solaria
|
Improved Solaria to charge toward the player at the start of combat. |
- Changed Guild Boss, Mirumok Watcher Offin's self-despawn timer: 15 min → 30 min

UI
Reforge Stone System Revamp
Reforge Stones offer a variety of bonus effects for weapons, and we wanted to make it easier for Adventurers to customize their setups. That's why we set out to introduce a preset system. To do so, we needed to overhaul the existing structure and mechanics, which took some time.
