The level of a pet is designed as a growth element in the affectionate relationship between adventurers and their pets. As their level increases, pets acquire social actions and adventurers develop closer relationships with them by going on adventures together. Many adventurers cherish and love their pets, whether it's a Long-tailed Rosefinch perched on their shoulder, a cat riding with them on a horse, or a penguin that is cute just by being there, regardless of their level. Since many pets are beloved regardless of their levels, the level of pets has been removed and social actions are now available from the beginning of your adventures together.
- Removed the level of pets.
- All pet social actions, which were acquired by leveling, are now available the moment you register them.
- Adjusted tier 5 pet description regarding training conditions and items to reflect the level removal.
- Removed all level related descriptions from pet registration items.
- Removed pet growth related contents from the Pearl Shop (F3).

Through today's patch, we have improved the loot from certain monster zones that were previously inefficient. These include Mirumok Ruins in Kamasylvia, Gyfin Rhasia Temple (Upper, Underground), Elvia Calpheon (Primal Giant Post, Rhutum Outstation, Saunil Camp), and Elvia Serendia (Swamp Fogan, Swamp Naga, Altar Imp, Castle Ruins, Biraghi Den). Additionally, we have adjusted the Max Price of Cup items on the Central Market from 2 billion to 5 billion. We will continue to steadily improve monster zones after thorough testing and ensure that this quality is maintained in the monster zones of the new region, Ulukita. Next, we would like to address the Optimal AP system that many of you have been discussing, often referring to it as a soft cap. There are various monster zones in the world of Black Desert, and our Adventurers play in zones that match the level of their gear. In our current situation, it is possible for Adventurers with high-end gear to acquire excessive rewards from monster zones that are relatively easy for them. The Optimal AP system was implemented to prevent this to a certain degree. However, instead of venturing into higher-tier monster zones for greater risks and rewards, many adventurers prefer to stay in zones such as Elvia Serendia for stable profits, which led many to directly experience the Optimal AP system. Moreover, the fact that higher-tier zones offer similar loot compared to lower-tier zones (Orc Camp, Abyssal Zone, etc.) has also been a concern for our Adventurers. Despite its problems, we still believe the Optimal AP system is necessary. We will improve the UI so in-game monster zone descriptions display the Optimal AP value and explain its meaning, and reassess if the system matches the current situation of monster zones (including Dehkia's Lantern) and make changes if necessary. We will also consider values required to enter monster zones, such as Minimum AP. Furthermore, we are addressing this issue by increasing the difficulty and rewards of certain monster zones to the highest tier through Dehkia's Lantern, and we are preparing the next tier of monster zones in Ulukita. We will restructure our reward system so that high-tier Adventurers can be satisfied with moving to high-tier monster zones. As part of our efforts, we've prepared new types of loot such as Origin of Dark Hunger that only drop from the new monster zones in Ulukita. We will continue to discuss and do our best to provide a satisfactory gameplay experience that motivates gear progression with new loot.

With this update, the Valencia Part II quests, which tells the story of Zobadi and Afuaru, who have long been in the memories of adventurers in Black Desert, have been excluded from the Main Quest. The quest was designed for adventurers to explore the vast desert without navigation support and to provide a unique experience of the desert. However, it is true that these quests have hindered the footsteps of many adventurers who want to move on to the next adventure.
