Global Lab Updates – 10th March 2023

Trading Rework

Now, the Old Moon Guild will start operating <Today’s Trade Information>.
We collect market rumors floating around among Black Desert world residents and provide them to adventurers.

As a result, the trading price change event occurrence cycle, which previously occurred only on Sundays, has been changed to occur once every 4 hours, which is a full day in the Black Desert world.
At 02:00, 06:00, 10:00, 14:00, 18:00, and 22:00 every day, you can check the rumors about trade items whose prices will change in 4 hours from the in-game <Trade Information> menu.
Using the Rumors, you can check the possibility of price fluctuations for each trade item category, such as miscellaneous goods, luxury goods, and food. Information is provided by three for each territory.
These rumors either actually apply or do not apply after 4 hours, or vice versa.
In other words, if there was information about a price spike, the price might actually spike, the price wouldn’t change, or even the price might crash.
Instead, small events reflecting the rumors will occur throughout the Black Desert world so that adventurers can directly check the truth of the rumors.

For example, when there is a rumor that food prices are skyrocketing in Calpheon, if you visit the wheat farm in Northern Calpheon, and talk to the residents at this farm, you will be able to directly witness conversations such as complaining about the poor harvest.
However, there is a low probability that the residents may not respond, so careful judgment by adventurers is required considering the situation of the entire territory.
We hope that you will experience a more lively Black Desert world in the future, along with trade content that has organically changed in line with the Black Desert world.
