Black Desert Global Lab Patch Notes - November 12, 2026

Main Weapon, Succession

Prime: Sundering Claw has been changed to allow for smoother combos after using Dragonwalk.

• When activated as part of a combo, the skill activates immediately without the charging animation.

• The PvE Damage of the following skills has been changed.

• [Maehwa][Musa] Fixed an issue where some buff effects were reapplied after using the Secret Sword technique ended.
• [Sage] Fixed an issue where the All AP increase effect of Illusion Unleashed and Prime: Illusion Unleashed was not applied even when receiving a stronger All AP increase effect while it was active.
• [Maegu] Fixed an issue where the stiffness effect was not applied upon successfully hitting with Foxflare Fleche.
  • This issue cannot be confirmed in the Black Desert Global Lab and will be applied to the official servers.

• The Family Dispatch feature, which allows you to assign missions to other characters in your Family, has been added.
  • Dispatched characters move to the designated area when the dispatch begins and carry out their missions there.
  • Items obtained from missions are stored in the Dispatch Bag.
  • The Dispatch Bag is activated with 25 slots / 1,500 LT initially.
    • Items can only be withdrawn from this storage.
    • When using the Move to Storage feature for all storage, the item is moved to the storage where it is currently stored. (This works the same way as the existing Move to Storage feature.)

• The requirements for using Family Dispatch are as follows.
  • You can access Family Dispatch from Menu (ESC) - Function/Convenience (F8) - Family Dispatch. You can also access it by interacting with your Family characters in the field.
  • When you reach 1,000 Family Fame, 1 Dispatch Slot is activated.
    • You can use 1 Dispatch Slot initially, and more slots will be added gradually in the future.

• • Only characters of level 20 or higher can be sent on Family Dispatch.
  • You must have knowledge of the terrain in the area you want to dispatch a character to in order to select missions there.
  • A character cannot be assigned a dispatch mission while moving or when character switching is set up. (The same applies when performing an individual action.)
    • You cannot set up character switching while a character is on dispatch.

• You can assign one of the following missions to a character on Family Dispatch.
  • Fishing and Gathering missions can be assigned for up to 1,000 consecutive runs.
  • By default, Processing can be instructed up to 30 times.
    • If the Venecil Knot is equipped and the character being dispatched has expanded the slot through the Black Spirit's Claw, up to 100 missions can be instructed.
  • Dispatch Fishing allows you to set the grade requirements for the fish to be obtained.
  • Each Dispatch Processing operation processes 1/10 of the amount from one Mass Processing operation, rounded to the nearest whole number.
    • Example) At Life Skill Mastery 3000, Mass Processing proceeds 315 times per 1 operations → 1/10 processed: Dispatch Processing 31.5 times → proceeds 32 times

• When a Dispatch Mission is instructed, the character moves from their current location to the mission area.
• Areas where movement on foot is impossible or where arrival takes more than 20 minutes are reached using a separate movement animation.
  
  • This method takes 20 minutes; the character moves to a nearby well in the mission area, then travels to the destination and begins the mission.

• Once dispatched, a character performs the assigned mission and waits at that location when the mission is complete.

▲ The activities of characters performing Dispatch Missions are visible to all Adventurers.

• The Life Skill Mastery of the currently equipped gear is applied to Dispatch Missions.
  • Life Skill Mastery obtained from consumable items or equipped crystals is not applied.

  • When moving items from the Dispatch Bag to your Inventory outside of Storage, a Maid or Butler is used.
  • If you do not have the knowledge of an item obtained through Family Dispatch, you can acquire that knowledge.
    • However, Fishing items are not recorded in the Fish Guide and are not included in the records of the weekly Fishing Tournament.

  • Work Complete: This status is set when all of the assigned work count has been completed.

  • If you switch characters while a character is dispatched, that character's Dispatch work is stopped.
    • You can check whether a character is dispatched in the logout window.

• When a character's work is complete or interrupted in the Family Dispatch window, you can restart the work by clicking the portrait.

• In the case of interrupted work, you must organize the Family Dispatch storage before work can resume.
• If you enter content that moves you to an instance, such as Arena of Solare or a Guild League, Dispatch work is temporarily suspended for the duration of that content.
