"Answer me, elder.
Am I to become the Supreme One?"

Master... already you stand supreme among the disciples of Mount Huaguo
Why ask such a thing?

"I meant that I seek to become Supreme One—
of the mortal plane, that is."

•••

"If I were to seize power in the realm of mortals...
then, perhaps... I could find her.
The one who vanished without a trace—Lahn."

Master..!

[h3]The First Crush Outfit has arrived.
Listen to your heart and try on the brand-new First Crush outfit! [/h3]
[expand]💬 The newest outfit, “First Crush,” was designed to capture the lighthearted, fluttering feelings of a new beginning.

We wanted to create a casual look that anyone could wear comfortably, centered around a warm, soft cardigan as the main piece. A charming new crossbody bag — a first of its kind — adds a playful touch, and to complete the look, we've also prepared matching glasses and earrings designed to fit the outfit's overall cozy aesthetic.

Following the release of the "Lookin' Frosh" outfit, we received a great deal of encouragement and feedback from many of you. Among the voices, there were also concerns that these more modern-style outfits might feel out of place in the distinct, immersive world of Black Desert.

It’s a sentiment we understand — while the outfits may be beautiful, we recognize the worry that if this style becomes too common, it might dilute the unique atmosphere of the game world. And with First Crush also leaning into modern-day casual fashion, we know some of you may feel a bit more apprehensive.

We’re not here to say one opinion is right or wrong.
Instead, we aim to continue offering a diverse range of outfits — including both modern-inspired designs and those that remain true to Black Desert’s lore and setting. In the end, we believe what truly matters is that moment when you look at a piece and think, “That’s beautiful. I want to wear that.”

We hope First Crush can be one of those options — a delightful choice you can enjoy when the mood strikes.

Please note that since this outfit is designed around a cardigan base, it does not support the Hide Cape feature. When capes are turned off, the cardigan remains visible, while only the bag is removed.

Thank you for understanding.[/expand]
