New features for Black Desert Online
After this week’s maintenance cycle, some new features have been added to Black Desert Online.
Players can look forward to a reworked Savage Rift horde mode, promising to spice up the exciting co-op experience in the game. The biggest change to the Savage Rift content is that the number of monster spawns is reduced by around 40%. This results in each runthrough lasting for about 20 minutes. Cooldown times for siege weapons such as Hwacha and Lynch Cannon have been reduced by 50% so you can shoot these powerful weapons more often. The rewards per playthrough have been reduced but the overall rewards vs playing time have actually increased.
A special event will take place between the 15th and the 29th of August that can reward players with very nice in-game rewards. During this event, a hidden 26th stage can follow after clearing the 25th. The chance of this happening is 50% and in this stage a new boss, called the Savage Ogre will appear that drops a Savage Rift reward box upon defeat. This box will include a Soiled Ogre Ring, Trace of Savagery and more
Another feature like AFK fishing has been introduced called Black Spirit Training. This allows player to gain combat and skill experience by engaging in AFK activities. To activate the Black Spirit’s Training, players will need to acquire a Book of Training from NPC Jamey Drucker who resides in Velia, Heidel, Calpheon City, Altinova and Valencia City. With activating this, players can practice against one of the scarecrows in each town to start gaining experience. This earned experience can also be stacked with other buffs such as Fever Time and many other skills.
