Greetings Adventurers!

In order to provide you with the best Black Desert adventure experience possible, we work hard to continually release quality-of-life updates. Today, we wanted to cover the major QoL updates we’ve released so far and preview a list of QoL updates that we are currently preparing.

And of course, we are always open to your feedback and suggestions for future updates.



[h3]1. Extend the automatic recall period of Gardens[/h3]

This was a suggestion given to us by an Adventurer during the 2021 CalpheON Ball’s Q&A. As such, we plan on extending the existing period of 1 week to 2 weeks,

* You can see this change in the [Black Desert Global Lab’s patch notes for February 4, 2022].

[h3]2. Improve the Inventory’s automatic sorting feature[/h3]

Adventurers have shared with us that the Inventory’s automatic sorting feature would cause them inconvenience by mixing up the order to weapons/armor and horse gear. We’re planning on introducing a feature to allow you to set different criteria for how items are sorted.

[h3]3. Allow the manual sorting of Storage items[/h3]

Adventurers have also asked us about making it possible to manually sort items in Storage. However, this is a feature that requires a complete rework to the Storage’s entire structure, which makes it incredibly difficult to implement.

Instead, we’ll work on improving features like the Storage’s search function to make the Storage a bit more accessible to use.

[h3]4. Increase the Pearl Inventory’s maximum slots[/h3]

Due to the allocation of data resources, increasing the maximum cap of various features (Pearl Inventory, Inventory, Storage, Quests, etc.) in the game is in fact more difficult than developing new content.

As a result, it is rather difficult for us to increase the maximum number of slots in the Pearl Inventory. Nevertheless, we plan on developing a “dressing room” feature that will allow you to separate and store outfits, which usually take up a big chunk of the Pearl Inventory. But we hope you’ll understand that this feature will take quite a bit of time to develop as it is a large update.

[h3]5. Improve the Cooking/Alchemy list[/h3]

We’ve heard from Adventurers that having to constantly scroll through the fixed lists for Cooking/Alchemy was rather inconvenient.

We’ll review this internally in the development team and look into possibly adding a feature like showing a list of favorites or making the most recently crafted ones show up first at the top of the list.

[h3]6. Add an option to remove the sound effects during Cooking/Alchemy[/h3]

Many Adventurers have requested the option to turn off sound effects during Cooking and Alchemy, and we do plan on adding this feature.

[h3]7. Remove the restrictions on Trading and Imperial Delivery when a character is tagged[/h3]

We understand there are cases where your character’s active tag state may be inconvenient such as having to throw away all your caught fish when fishing or being unable to complete a quest that requires turning in a trade item.

For trading, we must consider the future expansion of content and possible elements of exploitation, so restrictions end up being inevitable. However, we will remove the restrictions for Imperial Crafting Delivery.

* You can see this change in the [Black Desert Global Lab’s patch notes for February 4, 2022].

[h3]8. Swap Narchillan Weapon[/h3]

Black Desert has many unique classes, which from a new Adventurer’s perspective, might make it hard to find the class that matches their playstyle. Since Narchillan weapons are intended for novice Adventurers, we’ll add the ability to change the Narchillan weapon to match the class you want to swap to.

* You can see this change in the [Black Desert Global Lab’s patch notes for February 4, 2022].

[h3]9. QoL improvements for throwing away items[/h3]

We’ve heard from Adventurers telling us that throwing away items one-by-one by dragging them into the trash can is a hassle. We’ll work on introducing a QoL improvement that allows you to select all the items you want to throw away at one time after pressing the Trash Can button.





We will keep you updated about future QoL improvements through the Black Desert Global Lab and live server patch notes. Happy adventuring!
