Black Desert Console Update 2.43 – July 7, 2022

“Liana’s Tool Bag,” a bag that automatically equips all tools held within to conveniently perform Gathering activities, has been invented.

– You can use the [Tool Bag] menu that will appear on the Inventory UI upon obtaining Liana’s Tool Bag to store one of each type of Gathering tool.

– The Interaction button for the proper Gathering materials will appear on the Ring Menu if you get close to the Gathering materials while Liana’s Tool Bag with the Gathering tools is equipped in a slot.
– Use Y/△ to cycle through the options to adjust which tool you are using.
* Herbs: Barehanded Gathering ↔ Gathering via a Hoe
* Trees: Lumbering ↔ Collecting Fluid
* Animals: Butchering ↔ Fluid Extracting ↔ Tanning

– Your selection for which gathering type used will be maintained until you switch it.

※ You can only switch tools in Liana’s Tool Bag on Standby, with Liana’s Tool Bag in your inventory.

● There’s a rumor going around about Liana’s Tool Bag. A convenient tool for gatherers everywhere.
– Rumors say that Adventurers who get recognized as a “knowledgeable Adventurer” by answering all of Liana’s riddles correctly will receive a special bag invented by Valentine’s Apprentices Liana and her younger twin brother, Ludowig.
– You can accept “[Tool Bag] Liana’s Invention” from the Black Spirit from Lv. 49, then find Liana to accept and complete “[Tool Bag] Liana’s Trivia” Part 1 and 2 to obtain Liana’s Tool Bag (once per Family).
※ [TIP] We suggest you prepare Energy Potions since a lot of energy may be consumed during the trivia quiz. 

Quest and Knowledge Changes

● Improved the “Use the Ancient Relic Crystal Summon Scroll and Defeat the Boss” objective on the Progression Pass to be completed even when summoning with more than 1 summon scroll.
● Changed the quest objective for [Season Quest] Day 29, A Scroll of Strange Symbols.
– Quest Objective: Use the Scroll Written in Ancient Language → Use the Scroll Written in Ancient Language, then defeat Khalk
※ Can also be completed by summoning with more than 1 summon scroll.

● Improved the Caphras’ Worn Record #1 to 4 Knowledge entries to be learned via talking with O’Arma.

UI Changes

● The icon that indicates items that cannot be equipped (i.e non-seasonal gear on a season character) has been modified so it no longer overlaps with the quantity.
● Improved so the notification widget of the quest progress, conversation and completion displays.
– Notification Widget will show even after meeting the requirements by talking to an NPC.

System Changes

As mentioned in a previous GM note, we’ve changed the requirement for item notifications that appear at the top of the screen. Previously, notifications displayed when a Green or higher-grade item was obtained. This requiement has changed for displaying blue-grade items or higher, making the notification more useful.
We’ve also removed Black Stones from the notifications. They were once a worthy item, but as it has become easier to obtain them, we have adjusted the notifications not to show these items.

● Changed the requirements for obtained items to appear at the top of the screen as system notifications as follows:
– Improved the system alert displayed when obtaining items from crafting, dismantling, treasure chests, looting, gathering, quests, and talking with NPCs to now only appear for obtaining items of blue grade or higher
* Only notifications for blue grade or higher items that can be registered to the Center Market will show.
* Black Stones and some items didn’t show the notifications regardless of item grades.

● Changed so that cheer motion doesn’t activate when obtaining Black Gem.
