Black Desert Cant Get Kzarka Knowledge
Introduction
World bosses spawn at set times during the week and drop rare items. Whilst world bosses are spawned, open world PVP is disabled. Boss HP is shared across all channels, so when a world boss dies on one channel, they are dead on all channels.
Dying to World bosses can break your crystals and may cause you to lose EXP. This is why it is recommended to use another character (boss alt).
Boss alts can be as low as level 51 to gain rare loot, but will need to be equipped with gear. I recommend using a Witch/Wizard or Ranger as your boss alt.
Besides the world bosses, there are many other daily/weekly quests that involve killing solo scroll bosses. These are acquired from your Black Spirit, a rare drop from monsters, by combining items in your inventory, or by purchasing additional scrolls from the Pearl Store (F3) under the Loyalty Tab.
Velia Inn has a Boss Timer & Schedule for all regions (including console) you can check at any time to see when the next boss is spawning.
You can also join our discord server for Boss times and to recieve a @mention 30, 15 minutes before a boss spawns and when the boss spawns. Customise which bosses you want to follow!
Boss spawn locations are also shown on our Interactive Map.
