Black Desert Ocean Update Adds Cheongsado Island, New Ship Gear
The update raises the ceiling for ship combat with a new sea monster that requires strategic play against its guards, and its drops feed directly into crafting the new yellow-grade equipment.

Pearl Abyss JP rolled out an ocean content update for the PC version of Black Desert on August 27, 2026. The patch adds Cheongsado Island in the Land of the Morning Light, yellow-grade ship equipment called Parashi and Cheongun, and a new sea monster named Limberg. The island hosts a ship parts workshop where the top-tier equipment can be crafted.
Cheongsado Island is governed by the Lantern Merchant Guild led by Hyonyong, and it is described as a historic site carrying on shipbuilding techniques, with craftsmen skilled in panokseon ships. The new Cheongun equipment is crafted at a Cheongsa Ship Parts Workshop Level 2 built on the island, while Parashi is crafted at the Ilya Ship Parts Workshop Level 2. Both can be enhanced with Sunset Rough Wave Black Stone.
Limberg differs from past ocean encounters. Previous combat was a strength contest against single monsters or group extermination. This fight centers on the Limberks guarding Limberg, and defeating the monster yields Limberg's Horn, which exchanges for materials used to craft the yellow-grade gear.
- Cheongsado Island: A village governed by the Lantern Merchant Guild led by Hyonyong, carrying on shipbuilding techniques
