NEW & IMPROVEMENTS

| NINJA
Main Weapon
Covert: Cut Throat
◆ Changed the camera to move more naturally when moving behind an enemy.

CONTENTS

In this update, we've improved how Adventurers obtain Truffle Mushrooms by expanding the number of locations where they appear, as well as increasing the quantity of Truffle Mushrooms that can be gathered. We've also decreased the amount of time it takes for the Truffle Mushroom resources to respawn, allowing Truffle Mushroom-gobbling Adventurers to be able to gather to their heart's content. We hope this will allow even more Adventurers to reap the benefits (such as crafting elixirs) of the wonderful Truffle Mushroom.
◆ According to recent word of mouth between herbalists and mushroom pickers of Black Desert, there have been a greater number of Truffle Mushrooms sighted growing in the wild.
◇ The number of Truffle Mushroom spawning points have been increased in Serendia, Calpheon, and Mediah territories.
◇ There have been sightings of Truffle Mushrooms growing in certain spots of Drieghan as well.
