Hello Adventurers, This is the Black Desert Console Service Team.

We're informing you of the latest update applied after the scheduled maintenance on Wednesday, Feb 21.
Today's update brings the Old Moon Guild's Support feature which allows PEN (V) accessories to be obtained, Life Crystals simplification, and more.

We hope these help you embark on better adventures in game, Adventurers!

Old Moon Guild's Support

The "Old Moon Guild's Support", which allows you to obtain PEN (V) accessories, has undergone a revamp. With this new system, you can conveniently upgrade your exclusive accessories up to twice per Family, all through an exclusive UI, not a quest. The same UI also allows you to swap your accessories for a different kind. If you've already begun the enhancement process on your first accessory, you can seamlessly continue your progress under the new system.

• Added the Old Moon Guild's Support feature which allows PEN (V) accessories to be obtained.
  • Old Moon Guild's support which was once carried out as quests now has a dedicated UI.

※ If you have completed the Old Moon Guild's Trade Offer quest, please press R2+X/RT+A in the Inventory to access Old Moon Guild's Support UI.

The "A Cry for Help" quest can be accepted and carried out from Lv. 56 via the Black Spirit.
The Old Moon Guild's Trade Offer quest is offered by Jetina after you complete A Cry for Help.

• The Old Moon Guild has decided to provide additional support for adventurers who have maintained a close relationship with them.
  • Through the Old Moon Guild's Support, a total of two PEN (V) accessories can be obtained.

 

 

Old Moon Guild's Support UI

• Accessory materials can now be handed over through the UI without the need for recurring daily quests.
