Black Desert News

Greetings, Adventurers.

We recently discovered it was possible to trade items through an unintended method using the Central Market. As a result, we temporarily disabled the trade of high-value Main/Awakening/Sub Weapons during the maintenance on June 2.

Since the Central Market is an important mechanic that greatly influences the game, we ask for your understanding regarding the lack of prior notice before we implemented the measure above.

To summarize, the following have been temporarily disabled from being traded:
● Main/Awakening/Sub Weapons that are worth 10 billion or more silver cannot be bought or sold on the Central Market

After we temporarily disabled the trade of the items above, we started investigating the trade records of PEN (V): Blackstar items and other important items. However, such an exhaustive investigation will take some time, and we apologize in advance for any inconveniences that may arise as a result.

We will update you once our investigations are complete and let you know what actions we’ll be taking if we discover any evidence of improper trade. Additionally, we will be taking steps to prevent the improper use of the Central Market and improving the Central Market to ensure its fairness for all Adventurers.

As such, the results of our investigations will be announced in a future notice, and we are working to prepare the Central Market update as quickly as possible.


We will do our best to ensure a fair gameplay environment for Black Desert Online. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Greetings Adventurers!

- You can start the Barrier of Infestation content through a weekly quest on the Elvia Realm servers. The barrier is divided into five levels. You can start with Level 1 to 3 in a group of 3 Adventurers, but once you make your way to Levels 4-5, you will need to face Kzarka alone.

Greetings, Adventurers.

The “Apply for Game Data Transfer” program that began in January has come to an end on May 31, 2021 (Mon) 23:59 (UTC).

Once again, we, at Pearl Abyss, want to thank all our Adventurers for the support you’ve given us since we began the direct service of Black Desert Online.

Now that the game data transfer period has come to an end, we ask our Adventurers to take note of the following information.
[hr][/hr]
[h3]■ Special Gifts for New Adventurers[/h3]

Unfortunately, Adventurers who did not transfer their game data within the game data transfer period will need to create a new account and start a fresh adventure in Black Desert Online.

However, we’ve prepared special gifts to help both our Adventurers who did not transfer their game data and new Adventurers who started during the game data transfer period but did not receive the transfer rewards.

- New Adventurers who signed up between March 24, 2021 (Wed) after maintenance – May 31, 2021 (Mon) 23:59 (UTC) will receive the [New Adventurer] Black Spirit's Thank You Bundle in their in-game mailbox (B) during the maintenance on June 8, 2021 (Tue).

* Note: Adventurers who have already received the transfer rewards by contacting Customer Support after creating a new Family will be excluded.

- Adventurers who sign up for the first time after the end of the game data transfer period on May 31, 2021 (Mon) 23:59 (UTC) will be able to obtain a special reward from the Challenge (Y) menu after the maintenance on June 8, 2021 (Tue). More details will be announced on the official Black Desert website at a later date.

[h3]■ Availability of Deleted Family/Character/Guild Names[/h3]

Since all accounts that were not transferred before the end of the game data transfer period have been deleted, the deleted Family/Character/Guild names will become available to use after the maintenance on June 8, 2021 (Tue).

Thus, you will be able to use the Family/Character/Guild names of all deleted accounts after the maintenance on June 8, 2021 (Tue).

▲ Right-click a Family/Character/Guild Name Change Coupon and use the “Check Name” feature to see if the name you want is available.

We, at Pearl Abyss, will work harder to provide more content and the best service possible.

Thank you for your support.
