Black Desert update 1.40 is now rolling out for PS4 and Xbox One players. According to the official Black Desert version 1.40 changelog, the new update brings a guild boss version of Garmoth, class balance changes and more. Apart from this, Black Desert patch 1.40 also includes stability improvements.
Previously, a big update was released which added the Drieghan region, new field bosses, new life skill mini-games and more.
Unfortunately, many players are still experiencing several issues while playing the game. Today’s Black Desert version 1.40 is expected to fix a few of these issues. Check out more details below.
Black Desert update 1.40 Changelog (Updated)
The fearsome tyrant of Drieghanese skies is now available as a Guild Boss fight. Garmoth is one of the only dragon survivors of the great Drieghan wars, and was healed to health due to the devout Kagtum, who treat Garmoth as if she is a god. Take up the challenge of vanquishing Drieghans greatest threat, and you will be rewarded handsomely.
You will be able to guild summon Garmoth once per week, and it will require 5 scroll pieces in order to summon her (more on this later). Garmoth only has 1 difficulty level in the new Guild Boss system, and will have higher stats than the version of Garmoth you fought in the story.
After defeating Garmoth, you have a chance at getting the following items:
| Garmoth’s Horn | Garmoth’s Heart | Garmoth Scale |
| Akum Helmet/Armor/Gloves/Shoes | Combined Magic Crystal – Macalod, Gervish, or Hoom | Magical Black Stone- Stabilized, Cleansed, Pure |
| Gold Bar 10G | Black Stone (Weapon) | Black Stone (Armor) |
| Black Energy Residue | Kagtum Submission Ring | Cron Stones |
| Hunter’s Seal | Silver |
This update will also see multiple changes to Guild functionality, bringing in a new Guild Boss system, guild houses and also Guild Elephants which can be used in Node/Conquest War.
Guild Boss Subjugation
Dev Note
As the GM notes introduced, Garmoth will be making his way to Black Desert console as a Guild Boss. With this, comes a rework of the Guild Boss UI to make it more intuitive and make it easier for Guild Leaders to see progress of their Boss Subjugation Missions.
In addition to this, we are replacing Essence of Fury with Summon Scroll fragments, what will automatically be added to your guilds account. This helps to open up more guild warehouse slots as they will no longer be clogged up with various boss scrolls.
And lastly, with this change, guilds of any size will be able to tackle guild bosses at a difficulty that they feel comfortable with. This way, even small guilds can challenge the higher level Guild Bosses to achieve higher levels of rewards.
A big change is coming to Guild Bosses. Not only is Garmoth becoming a Guild Boss, but the whole system is being reworked. You can now locate Guild Bosses in the boss tab that can be found in the Guild Window.
Essence of Fury is being replaced with ‘Scroll Pieces’. These scroll pieces will be automatically added to your guild, and will no longer be an item that you need to hold/store. When you have enough Scroll Pieces needed to summon a boss, 2 new boxes will appear in the Guild Boss image allowing you to navigate to the location, and also a button to summon the monster. For bosses with multiple difficulty levels, you can change the difficulty when you are standing in the location where the Guild Boss can be summoned.
Guild bosses can only be summoned once a week each. Each server has a limit to the amount of Guild bosses that can be summoned at a time, and if this error message appears you can either switch servers or try again later.
Unlike the Essence of Fury, Scroll Pieces and the number of bosses summoned will reset at the following times:
NA: Sundays 12:00 AM – Mondays 11:59 PM (PDT)
EU: Sundays 12:00 AM – Mondays 11:59 PM (UTC+0)
ASIA: Sundays 12:00 AM – Mondays 11:59 PM (GMT+9)
Any remaining Guild Boss items can be used the same way as previously.
New Guild Quests
We have added new guild life skill quests to add more variety to the life skill focussed challenges.
| Guild Size | Quest Name | Quest Objective | Reward |
| Small | [Gathering] Guild Supply Mission | Gather Weed x800 | Guild Funds (4,000,000) Guild Skill EXP (10,000) |
| Medium | Gather Weed x1600 | Guild Funds (7,000,000) Guild Skill EXP (15,000) | |
| Large | Gather Weed x1800 Gather Silver Azalea x240 Gather Sunrise Herb x240 | Guild Funds (12,000,000) Guild Skill EXP (25,000) | |
| Extra Large | Gather Weed x2800 Gather Silver Azalea x420 Gather Sunrise Herb x420 | Guild Funds (15,000,000) Guild Skill EXP (35,000) | |
| Small | Obtain Milk x1000 | Guild Funds (8,000,000) Guild Skill EXP (15,000) | |
| Medium | Obtain Milk x2000 | Guild Funds (16,000,000) Guild Skill EXP (20,000) | |
| Large | Obtain Milk x3000 | Guild Funds (20,000,000) Guild Skill EXP (30,000) | |
| Extra Large | Obtain Milk x4500 | Guild Funds (28,000,000) Guild Skill EXP (40,000) |
We have also cleaned up the Guild UI for mission objectives to help clarify the objectives of the text.
Guild Boss Improvements
With these changes we are also going to be adding new items that can be gained from defeating the Guild Bosses Giant Mudster and Lava Chief Ferrid.
Stone of Malice
Stone of Malice will drop from the Giant Mudster Guild Boss. This stone is infused with the painful memories of the people who became the mudsters, and it can be used to make theMagical Crystal of Infinity – Skill. This Magical Crystal can be infused into a helmet piece, and will give the wearer +10% Skill EXP gained. To create the Crystal, you will need the following items and use an Alchemy Tool with the following recipe:
| Fruit of Destruction x2 | Magic Crystal of Crimson Flame – Power x1 | Ruby x2 | Everlasting Herb x6 | Stone of Malice |
Energy of All Creations
One of the few holy grails of Alchemy was to synthesize the Energy of All Creations. Nobody knows where this energy comes from, or why Ferrid seems to have it, but Alustin successfully discovered a way to synthesize the energy into the Breath of all Creations. Guild Boss Lava Chief drops the energy of All Creations, and then you can perform simple alchemy to create one of the four Breath of All Creations.
Use simple alchemy with the following ingredients:
| Energy of All Creations x1 | Oil of Fortitude x20 | Mystical Spirit Powder x20 |
Depending on the Energy used, you can obtain an Breath of All Creations with one of the following effects:
| All AP +70 | All Damage Reduction +300 |
| Attack/Casting Speed +20% | Movement Speed +20%, Jump +2m, Fall Damage -50% |
The effects of the Breath of All Creations lasts 10 minutes, and will persist even if your character dies. It also has a cooldown of 240 minutes, that is shared across all of the Breath of All Creations. The buffs given will also not stack with Pure Black Stones, so be careful when using these precious items.Once created, you have 14 days to use the Breath of All Creations.
Guild Houses
Guild masters can now bid for Guild houses at the Guild House Auction. For guild masters to lay down an opening bid on a guild house, they will need to talk to guild managers in different towns. From there, you can input a bid for one of the guild houses in that town.
Guild houses offer you and your guild a place to congregate together, and also allow you craft guild items through the processing window. You will need to combine your resources together in order to create different items. For example, to craft a [Guild] Registration: Valencia Elephant, you will need to craft the [Guild] Timber for Fixing the Cage, which will require 3,000 Useable Scantling. To craft these items, it may be better to have multiple people creating them in the guild house, and then using the processing window to craft them, depositing the results in the Guild Storage. You will need a guild house in Valencia to begin training Guild Elephants.
To unlock different aspects of the Guild Crafting system, you will need to learn the new guild skills that allow you to create equipment for your guild. For example, you will need the ‘Monstrous Force’ skill in order to unlock the elephant nursery, allowing you to start work on getting your Guild Elephant.
Guild Auction Time: Available every even week
North America:Saturday 01:00 PM ~ Sunday 12:59 PM (PDT)
Europe:Saturday 03:00 PM ~ Sunday 02:59 PM (UTC)
Asia:Friday 06:00 PM ~ Saturday 05:59 PM (GMT +9)
Valencian Elephants
Through the guild house system, you can produce Valencia Elephants. Elephants are effective war machines in node and conquest wars, and are most effective at destroying defensive structures like barricades.
In order to begin the process of owning an Elephant, you will need to obtain the guild skill, ‘Monstrous Force’ and also have access to a guild house. One of the materials needed is a [Guild] Baby Elephant, which can be obtained by catching wild baby elephants in Valencia. Once captured, you will need to register it at a stable keeper who will then add the ‘[Guild] Baby Elephant’ which you can then put in your guild storage. Careful, baby elephants are heavy, so make sure you can carry 800LT on your character.
Valencian Elephants have skills like other mounts, but cannot be leveled up. So the skills they are born with will forever be their skills. Elephants can carry up to three adventurers, with one adventurer controlling the elephant, and two others throwing spears to knock back their opponents. While riding an elephant, the people on the back of it cannot be harmed.
Node/ Conquest War
Dev Note
We would like to thank all those adventurers who have helped us get a fix for Playstation 4 North America Node Wars. Your feedback regarding the issue, the videos and the reports in general have been extremely helpful in creating a solution to the issue. A fix has been applied so that all Playstation 4 North America players should now be able to damage forts. The fix for this issue has been a long time coming, and we are incredibly grateful for the patience that many of you have shown during these issues. We will be sending 2 Premium Elixir Boxes and 50 Shining Medals of honor to Playstation 4 users on the North American server as a thank you, and we will be ringing 48 hour golden bells over the weekend for North American servers only.
Wooden Fences have now been added to the Guild Store. Wooden Fences can only be used before the beginning of Conquest Wars, and are higher and stronger than normal barricades. Those friendly forces who are inside the your base can use platforms inside
Tomes have been added to Black Desert Console. Tomes offer different buffs from standard equipment such as weapons and armors. The Adventurers Tome is the first Tome you will get, and will increase the Prognyl Silver Bar gain by 20%. To obtain this Tome, you will need to reach level 53 and talk to the Black Spirit, who will offer you the quest, ‘Black Spirit’s Gift (Adventurers Tome)’. You only need to be level 53 the first time you collect the Adventurers Tome, and after that other characters in your family will be able to earn the Tome.
Once you obtain this Tome, you can equip it on any character OR proceed with a quest to unlock the Chenga – Sherekhan Tome of Wisdom. This item can be transferred between your characters, and cannot be restored once deleted (if you wish to receive another one, you will need to redo the quest line to get it).
To begin the quest, you will need to talk to Aljai, who resides in Drieghan, just west of Hasrah Cliff. Follow the quest line to its completion and you will be rewarded with the Chenga Crystal of Wisdom, which with simple alchemy can turn the Adventurers Tome into the Chenga – Sherekhan Tome of Wisdom.
This item will provide you with the following buffs:
| Prognyl Silver Bar Gain +20% | Combat Grade EXP obtained through Quest Reward +30 | Vision Range +150m |
With this item equipped, you will earn more EXP from quests that offer EXP as a reward, making leveling up your characters easier than ever before!
Other Item Changes
● Fixed an issue where the displayed attack power of Elsh Longsword was different from the actual attack power.
● The following items can be purchased in larger quantities on the Central Market:
| Up to 1000 at a time | Up to 500 at a time | Up to 20 at a time |
| Vinegar Essence of Liquor Grilled Bird Meat Flax Seed | Fruit of Abundance Fruit of Crimson Flame Fruit of Destruction Fruit of Enchantment Fruit of Magic Power Fruit of Perfection Fruit of the Sun | Garmoth’s Scale |
● Certain lifeskill related items (tools, materials gained) have had their text modified.
We have added a way to obtain knowledge of Dorin Morgrim, who is easily the best blacksmith on the continent. You can head into helms, find the Blacksmith and he will reward you with knowledge.
We have also added a small, one time per family gift of enhancement materials when completing Mediah. This reward will include Valk’s Advice and Valks Cry in varying quantities.
We have made changes to the distribution of byproducts in Cooking and Alchemy.
Dev Note
Cooking and Alchemy Byproducts are one of the first contents of Black Desert which reflected our philosophy that any kind of content can lead to a character’s growth. However, as we expanded upon byproducts, they occupied a large amount of space, and also affected the weight of your characters to transport them. We have been considering narrowing down the variety of byproducts while enhancing the concept as we tried to improve the convenience of the game for players.
We have tried to keep this new system as balanced as possible with the current system, however the Contribution EXP was already very high, and this ratio may have been decreased. We are therefore continuing to tweak this system, and provide ways to make Cooking and Alchemy more meaningful in future updates.
Old byproducts have been removed, and replaced with the Witch’s Delicacy (for Cooking) and Mysterious Catalyst (for Alchemy).
* You can exchange the Witch’s Delicacy with Nadia Rowen of Olvia.
| Witch’s Delicacy x10 | Beer x500 |
| Witch’s Delicacy x10 | Milk x120 |
| Witch’s Delicacy x10 | Contribution EXP 900 + Cooking EXP x30 |
* You can exchange the Mysterious Catalyst with Bofin of Olvia.
| Mysterious Catalyst x10 | Clear Liquid Reagent x200 |
| Mysterious Catalyst x10 | Powder of Darkness x200 |
| Mysterious Catalyst x10 | Contribution EXP 900 + Alchemy EXP x30 |
If you have any of the preexisting byproducts, you can exchange these as normal. Their weight has been changed to 0.01LT to allow you to carry them easier to the exchange NPC.
We have also added the Risk Asset Management banks to various cities across Black Desert. The Risk Asset Management bank comes in two forms, Safe Asset Management Bank and Risk Asset Management Bank. These will allow you to use Gold Bars and Workers to possibly gain more income depending on the markets. Safe Asset Management Bank will generally return small but stable returns, where the Risk Asset Management Bank will offer large returns, but can also generate losses.
Safe Asset Management Bank Location: Velia 4, Heidel 3-1 1F, Calpheon Merchant Lane 1-2
Risk Asset Management Bank Location: Altinova 7-1, Valencia 17-4 2F
We are also changing the compensation that is rewarded when completing the Balenos, Serendia and Calpheon main quests. We are changing the gold bars that are rewarded to the following items:
Balenos: Bartali Gold Bar
Serendia: Lauren Family’s Gold Bar
Calpheon: Gold Bar from the Citizen Bank
Each of these items can be exchanged at storage keepers across Black Desert for 1,000,000 silver.
We have made some more changes to the user interface of Black Desert. First up is we have added a way for a player to see where their contribution points are invested. You can access this function by pressing △/ Y in the World Map screen.
The other changes we have made have been to the profile window and the profile page.
This week we have a lot more balance changes that will hit multiple different classes. We are constantly monitoring and taking feedback for character balance, and we thank you for your continued discussions.
We are increasing the amount of damage that Reckless Blow deals, and also helping to improve the actions of head chase. With Reckless Blow, we have decreased the percentage of damage dealt, but improved the amount of hits the skill has. This will improve the damage above what it was previously. Head Chase was an infrequent skill used but helped connect certain combinations together, so we have improved the action to make it smoother.
● Reckless Blow has been changed so that it now has a lower damage modifier but a higher number of hits.
| Skill: Reckless Blow | Before | After |
| Before Charging | 1930% x 2 | 1420% x 4 |

For Ranger, we decided to touch up her awakening skills a little to make them more viable. This includes reducing some of the cooldowns on certain skills that had an overly long cool down time.

With Maehwa we wanted to correct the attack range of some Awakening skills and also improve their useability as well. In particular, there are skills that move forward to attack, and we wanted to make them slightly easier to use by increasing with the width of their attacks. At the same time, we also wanted to improve the linkability of skills, so we added a way to combo sleet steps from Petal Bloom.

One of the loudest opinions on Wizard was that the class felt clunkier than the Witch as there was no real option to switch between pre-awakening and awakening skill sets. Therefore we have added we have added a way to switch from pre-awakening to awakening through the use of hellfire.

One of the key comments about the Dark Knight is that Air Strike skills are too risky to use due to the overlapping effects of both Bound and Float. Therefore we’re going to make the skill apply one or the other.
We are also supplementing the lesser used skills such as Trap of Vedir, Grip of Grudge and Cluster of Despair which were used less frequently, offering an option to open up new diverse combinations for the class.
