Good morning adventurers!
In December 2015 we will be bringing lots of exciting changes to the world of Black Desert (Valencia continent only). These include: PvP system, new towns, trading, new resources, dungeons, elite monsters, and annex system.Refer to the information below for more detail.
PK system applies in Valencia only. The existing system remains in all other regions (North ballet/Serendia/Calpheon/Media).
Valencia guards will not attack low karma players.
Karma penalties have been significantly reduced. No additional penalties such as weapon enchant degrading or socket loss on death. However, you will still lose EXP.
New Jail system: low karma players will be sent to jail on death. Jail time increases depending on the amount of people you’ve killed in a certain period of time. You can reduce prison time by sulfur mining in the camp. You can also escape from the jail.
Players with positive karma can earn ‘Seal of the Bounty Hunters’ by killing low karma players and sending them to the jail. Additional benefits can be achieved with positive karma.
Two new towns will be opening: Arequipa Village and Mui Kuhn
Arequipa Village is located east of Valencia capitol.
It is a production town. NPCs gather from all over the region. Food and cooking is also really important and you can collect water from the palm trees to help with crafting.
Mui Kuhn is a town of outlaws.
Players with positive karma will be attacked by the guards at Mui Kuhn, while low karma players are welcome. NPCs will also offer various quests with various special rewards for outlaws.
