Black Desert's November 5 update speeds up switching between characters in the same Family. Tagged characters at level 20 or higher can now switch without a loading screen when they are traveling together and not performing separate actions.

Emergency Escape must be available, and the skill goes on cooldown after an instant switch. The feature is unavailable while mounted or using another skill. After dealing or taking damage, players must remain out of combat for 20 seconds.

Family characters at level 20 or higher can now appear in the open world, visible only to the account owner. Players can approach one and interact to switch. Standard menu switching is also faster and uses short scenes between characters.

The patch also revises Imperial Delivery with new Reward Seals, updated item lists, and different exchange costs. Existing Golden Seals will convert during the December 3 maintenance, while Pearl Abyss will announce the conversion rate later. The previous patch's graphics changes are covered separately.
