Campsite Buff Renewal
We've made some improvements to the campsite buffs to make them even more convenient for our Adventurers. Some buffs have been streamlined, so now a single buff can provide the same effects as several previous ones combined. We've also removed buffs that weren't seeing much use.Additionally, campsite buffs are now available for purchase as scrolls, and you can set them to auto-use with the Fairy's Continuous Care skill. To make things even smoother, we've increased the total number of items you can use per skill level with Continuous Care.
On top of that, we've expanded the item categories for the Continuous Care skill. Items that previously couldn't be applied together because they shared the same category can now be used at the same time.
- Added the buff effects of Skill & Experience to Body Enhancement.
- The Skill & Experience buff has been removed, and any effects previously applied to characters have been reset.
- The new effects added to the Body Enhancement buff will be applied only after re-obtaining the buff post-update.

SYSTEM
Recently in Black Desert, we've been seeing more and more outfits that let Adventurers get creative with their looks by toggling their Show Visor settings. Many of you have asked for your visor settings to carry over when switching into combat, so we've made a change.Now, if you choose to hide your character's visor, that setting will remain active even upon entering combat, breaking away from previous rules and giving you more freedom to customize your character.
We want to thank all our Adventurers for loving and enjoying the wide variety of outfits in Black Desert. We'll keep working to make it even more satisfying to create a character that's truly your own, stylish, beautiful, and unique.
