Black Desert’s latest patch kicks off a new summer event and tweaks guild skills

Black Desert’s having a bit of a good run the past week, what with the launch of the Shai and the announcement of a launch date for its PS4 version, plus the start of preorders for said edition. Nevertheless, Kakao and Pearl Abyss have dropped a small patch today all the same, the heart of which is another new summer event – although technically, it doesn’t start until late tonight, 8 p.m. EDT here on the East coast.

“This week, refresh yourself with a Finto’s juice and get even more rewards with the Start of an Amazing Summer Challenge! As announced recently, we are changing the Horse Flute into the Trainer’s Flute which can be used to call your horses, but also your donkeys, camels and miniature elephants! You will now be able to see which mount you have taken out for each character in the End Game and Character Selection window.”

The Shai release events are still underway as well, and the studios note that they’ve tweaked some guild skills so that guild officers – and in the future, more ranks – can use them. “We will implement more segmented ranks in a future patch,” Kakao says.
