Greetings Adventurers!

Having left your side for a brief respite, Fwuzzy is back and is packed with double the cuteness. Stare googly-eyed at the Alpaca's concentrated adorableness manifested as new mount skills and effects,

● "Fwuzzy Alpaca" has returned as a mount available only to Shais!
- You will need to have the "Registration: Fwuzzy Alpaca" item in your inventory, then talk to a stable keeper NPC to register your alpaca to mount it.



- You can obtain your very own "Registration: Fwuzzy Alpaca" item by accepting and proceeding with the "Befwend Fuzzy Alpaca" questline through Seiri the NPC in Duvencrune.
* Requires a Lv. 50 or higher Shai character. Available once per family. Can be accepted from Quests (O) - Suggested tab.
* Upon completing the "Befwend Fuzzy Alpaca" quest, you will be able to accept the following quest after midnight. You will need to accept and complete quests for an additional 5 days.
- Fwuzzy Alpacas can be leveled up to Lv. 15.
- Your alpaca can use the following skills (up to 7) depending on its level.
* The Fwuzzy Alpaca will already have learned the "Ptooey" skill at Lv. 1.


Ptooey

Ptooey! Your alpaca spits because it's angry.

I'm So Angwy!

Your alpaca raises its foreleg to show its anger.

Clompity-clomp

Clompity-clomp! Your alpaca leaps high with its short legs.

Two Left Hooves

Your alpaca piaffes in place.

Merry-go-alpaca

Your alpaca goes round and round in its place.

Play Dead

Your alpaca plays dead. It will get up again when you call it.

Gwiddy-up!

Go even faster.

Located south of Drieghan, the Mountain of Eternal Winter is a land covered by continual snowfall.
Ascending its peaks is a treacherous feat as the snowstorms will only grow fiercer the higher you climb.
In such an environment of perpetual winter, you’ll need to watch out for Frostbite: a debuff that will slowly drain your health points if you fail to warm yourself up.

This region is where stories and legends of Labreska, the golden dragon, were first shared by the people.
Although many of the mountain's inhabitants live in small camps spanning its rugged terrain,
the central village of this region is a place called Eilton.


New Monster Zones


Murrowak's Labyrinth was once a rich and plentiful iron mine, but now, it is overrun by Queen Vercedes and her loyal legion of Murrowaks.


New Monster Zones


The Okjinsini, who were said to be born from the tears of Labreska, call the Jade Starlight Forest their land. It seems that something has recently caused the Okjinsini to behave differently from before.


New Monster Zones


Erebjork, the Dreadwinter Guardian, is a being that can be encountered on the Mountain of Eternal Winter. Be on the lookout if you ever find yourself in a blizzard as it forewarns her appearance...


New Monster Zones


Dotting the landscape of the Mountain of Eternal Winter are these strangely beautiful-looking Winter Tree Fossils. It is said that interacting with these trees will bring forth spirits consumed by unknown darkness.


New Item


Labreska’s Helmet is an item equal in status to the Fallen God’s Armor, and the Mountain of Eternal Winter is where you can obtain its key crafting material, the Flame of Frost.

With the Mountain of Eternal Winter coming in April 2022, we wanted to give you a preview of its awe-inspiring original soundtrack! The soundtrack is composed of 36 tracks, which cover five different themes – all helping to immerse you in the new region as you play.




✦ Using tones of ethnic musical instruments and orchestra, we created a piece of unique-sounding music that embodies the warmth and tranquility of the Mountain of Eternal Winter's nomadic "Abets" and magical but friendly "Okjinsini" snow spirits.


✦ Part 2 of the Original Soundtrack was produced with ethnic musical instruments and primal voices at its core, evoking a spiritual atmosphere set in the sacred and shamanistic background of the Mountain of Eternal Winter's Abets tribe folk.


✦ Composed with deeper-pitched ethnic musical instruments and eerie sounds, Part 3 of the Original Soundtrack is filled with tension, making you feel like you are exploring the dark horrors hidden within the snow-covered Mountain of Eternal Winter.


✦ Part 4 is composed of tracks that embody an adventurer's journey towards overcoming the daunting Mountain of Eternal Winter.


✦ In stark contrast to the snow-white Mountain of Eternal Winter, Part 5 is composed of tracks that call upon the bloodstained battlefields of fearless warriors.

After hearing from many Adventurers who were interested in Black Desert’s original soundtrack, we unveiled the PEARL ABYSS MUSIC channel for everyone to enjoy the music that fills the vast and beautiful world of Black Desert!

The PEARL ABYSS MUSIC is a channel created to allow anyone to easily listen to the game music created by Pearl Abyss on Youtube.

We aim to present you with extraordinary wonders and unforgettable experiences.

Greetings Adventurers!

In order to provide you with the best Black Desert adventure experience possible, we work hard to continually release quality-of-life updates. Today, we wanted to cover the major QoL updates we’ve released so far and preview a list of QoL updates that we are currently preparing.

And of course, we are always open to your feedback and suggestions for future updates.



This was a suggestion given to us by an Adventurer during the 2021 CalpheON Ball’s Q&A. As such, we plan on extending the existing period of 1 week to 2 weeks,

* You can see this change in the [Black Desert Global Lab’s patch notes for February 4, 2022].


Adventurers have shared with us that the Inventory’s automatic sorting feature would cause them inconvenience by mixing up the order to weapons/armor and horse gear. We’re planning on introducing a feature to allow you to set different criteria for how items are sorted.


Adventurers have also asked us about making it possible to manually sort items in Storage. However, this is a feature that requires a complete rework to the Storage’s entire structure, which makes it incredibly difficult to implement.

Instead, we’ll work on improving features like the Storage’s search function to make the Storage a bit more accessible to use.


Due to the allocation of data resources, increasing the maximum cap of various features (Pearl Inventory, Inventory, Storage, Quests, etc.) in the game is in fact more difficult than developing new content.

As a result, it is rather difficult for us to increase the maximum number of slots in the Pearl Inventory. Nevertheless, we plan on developing a “dressing room” feature that will allow you to separate and store outfits, which usually take up a big chunk of the Pearl Inventory. But we hope you’ll understand that this feature will take quite a bit of time to develop as it is a large update.


We’ve heard from Adventurers that having to constantly scroll through the fixed lists for Cooking/Alchemy was rather inconvenient.

We’ll review this internally in the development team and look into possibly adding a feature like showing a list of favorites or making the most recently crafted ones show up first at the top of the list.


Many Adventurers have requested the option to turn off sound effects during Cooking and Alchemy, and we do plan on adding this feature.


We understand there are cases where your character’s active tag state may be inconvenient such as having to throw away all your caught fish when fishing or being unable to complete a quest that requires turning in a trade item.

For trading, we must consider the future expansion of content and possible elements of exploitation, so restrictions end up being inevitable. However, we will remove the restrictions for Imperial Crafting Delivery.

* You can see this change in the [Black Desert Global Lab’s patch notes for February 4, 2022].


Black Desert has many unique classes, which from a new Adventurer’s perspective, might make it hard to find the class that matches their playstyle. Since Narchillan weapons are intended for novice Adventurers, we’ll add the ability to change the Narchillan weapon to match the class you want to swap to.

* You can see this change in the [Black Desert Global Lab’s patch notes for February 4, 2022].


We’ve heard from Adventurers telling us that throwing away items one-by-one by dragging them into the trash can is a hassle. We’ll work on introducing a QoL improvement that allows you to select all the items you want to throw away at one time after pressing the Trash Can button.



We will keep you updated about future QoL improvements through the Black Desert Global Lab and live server patch notes. Happy adventuring!
