MAJOR UPDATES - Tier 5 Pets

The Adventurer's faithful companions can now be trained to Tier 5 and also be appointed as Alpha Pets.

You can now train Tier 4 pets up to Tier 5 pets, who will also gain the ability to be appointed as Alpha Pets.

Alpha Pets will keep other pets in your pack in line to make sure they will all work together to aid you in your adventures.
The Alpha Pet's Talent will increase by 1 additional level, and their "Pack Leader" skill will increase the looting speed of all of your other pets nearby.

You can only appoint one Tier 5 pet as the alpha, and any other Tier 5 pets checked out will display the same stats as other Tier 4 pets.

We originally designed the Tier 5 pets to boast a greater variety of skills or effects, akin to an upgraded Tier 4 pet, so to speak.
However, we felt that the process to "upgrade" to a Tier 5 pet would prove too taxing on our Adventurers, so we decided to change the focus to increasing the pet looting speeds.

We bid you happy adventuring with your cute pets and their alpha pack leader.

● Added Tier 5 Pet Training and Alpha Pets.
- You can now train Tier 4 pets into Tier 5 pets.
- Tier 5 pets gain the ability to be appointed as Alpha Pets by the Adventurer.
- An Alpha Pet's Talent will increase by 1 additional level, and their "Pack Leader" skill will increase the looting speed of all active pets nearby.
Tier 5 Pet Training Questline

● You can now train Lv. 10 Tier 4 pets to Tier 5 through Obi Bellen at the Old Wisdom Tree in Kamasylvia.
- Summon the Black Spirit (/) to accept the "[Pet] Domesticated Squabbles" quest. Complete it to unlock the "Tier 5 Pet Training" button through Obi Bellen.
※ You can start this quest from Lv. 50 via the Black Spirit (/) and can check your progress through Quests (O) - Suggested tab.
※ Make sure you've ticked [Life] quests under Quest Type if you cannot see the quests.

Tier 5 Pet Training
● Training a Tier 5 pet requires one "Royal Plume." You can craft one via Simple Alchemy (L).

※ You can purchase "Growth Reagents" from Old Moon shops for 60 million Silver each.

Royal Plume Crafting Details

● Once you acquire a Royal Plume and have your Lv. 10 Tier 4 pet checked in, you will be able to train a Tier 5 pet through Obi Bellen.
- Tier 5 pet training will always succeed.
- Tier 5 pets do not gain a special appearance or skill. (You can still use Pet Appearance Change Coupons.)

Alpha Pets
● You can appoint one of your Tier 5 pets as the Alpha Pet through the pet window.
- You can appoint a Tier 5 pet that is checked in as your alpha by pressing the crown-shaped icon.

- Alpha Pets grant the following effects when checked out.
* Pack Leader: Loot cooldown -15% for active pets
* Talent Lv. +1: The Alpha Pet's Talent gains one additional level.
* e.g.) Combat EXP +4% → +5% / HP +100 → +125
※ Special skills (Fishing cooldown reduced, gathering amount increase, etc.) are not affected.
- Tier 5 pets who have not been appointed as alpha will retain the same stats as a Tier 4 pet.
※ Tier 5 pets cannot be exchanged with any other pets after training is complete.
※ Make sure to change a pet's appearance or skills via Exchange before attempting the Tier 5 Pet Training.

※ For more details, check out the Adventurer's Guide - [Tier 5 Pet Training].

MAJOR UPDATES - Blacksmith Function Improvements

The Dwarven artisans of Gavinya Great Crater have developed a new and improved way to repair and extract items.

The newly improved functions have been spreading across the continent, far and wide, from stable keepers to even the campsites.

Now Adventurers will only need to press the "repair" button once to repair any and every item that is in need of repair, and the means of extracting outfits have also been improved.

Before using the "Select All" button and extracting from outfits, please make sure you've locked any outfit/costume appearances you do not wish to accidently extract and destroy.

● Improved the repair function.
- You can now repair all items (equipped, in your inventory, horse gear, ship gear, guild gear) with one button press.
- You can pick and choose which criteria to repair via the cogwheel-shaped settings button on the side.

● Added the function to lock outfit/costume appearances to prevent extraction.

MAJOR UPDATES - Marni's Instruments and Florchestra Contrabass

The Florchestra Contrabass, named after the famous maestro of Artina the "Wandering Musician," is now available. In addition, Marni's Instruments, invented by the infamous "mad" scientist, have also been discovered. 4 different types of Marnians and the Marnibass are available, ready to produce mystical sounds never heard before in the world of Black Desert.

Many of our musically-inclined Adventurers have composed wonderful music with their Beginner/Florchestra instruments thus far. We hope the new additions of the Florchestra Contrabass and Marni's Instruments will inspire both and novice Adventurers alike to create compositions that aren't just exciting but also express a sound in greater detail and volume.

The mysterious Marnians are aptly named (Wavy Planet, Illusion Tree, Secret Note, and Sandwich), each capable of producing 4 unique sounds for a total of 16 different styles. Thus we technically designed these instruments to sound potentially different each time you compose a new music score.
