Greetings Adventurers,

We recently discovered it was possible to trade items through an unintended method using the Central Market. As a result, we performed an emergency maintenance of the Central Market to temporarily disable the trade of high-value Main, Awakening, Sub Weapons.

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 this measure.

To summarize, the following have been temporarily disabled from being traded:

- Main, Awakening, Sub Weapons that are worth 100 million 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.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
