Item

The Season is designed to help new adventurers get a taste of what's ahead in Black Desert and get ready for the journey. With Season gear like Tuvala equipment, you can try out the enhancement system without too much pressure.
 
We noticed that enhancing Tuvala accessories could become overly repetitive. So, to help you learn the ropes without the tedium, we've made it so enhancement up to TRI (III) is now guaranteed to succeed.
  • Changed so that enhancement for Tuvala accessories up to TRI (III) will succeed with a 100% chance.

 

 

 


Quest & Knowledge

We're offering support funds to help new adventurers settle into the world of Black Desert and enjoy its many adventures. You can find plenty of starter items already available, but with the funds, we hope you can pick out the gear you want and make the most of everything the game has to offer.
 
The total scale of the support funds is 10 billion Silver, but to prevent cases of abuse, they unlock gradually as you hit certain gameplay milestones. Some milestones grant support funds, while others reward you directly with valuable items, so every step of your journey brings its own benefit.
  • Added special support funds for new adventurers who meet certain requirements.
    • You can claim these funds from Challenge (Y) once per Family after completing the conditions listed below.
