Black Desert Online Turns Two

Today is Black Desert Online’s second birthday! Pearl Abyss is celebrating in style with their latest update, adding special events and new rewards to be earned.

First off, a new Hot Time Event brings with it in-game buffs useful for leveling up Adventurers. If you defeat a Mammore and acquire three of its claws, you’ll receive 100 Contribution EXP and an Advice of Valks (this lasts until February 5). Different types of Secret Old Moon Letters and Moonlight Shards can now be found; collect them to gain Old Moon Accessories, which can be enhanced and exchanged for higher-tier accessories.

Plus, just for logging in, you’ll receive a daily item giveaway including Pearl items. That offer lasts from tomorrow through February 12.

We’re still in the pre-creation period before the new Guardian class becomes available, and the “To Find the Rightful Owner of the Axe” event is live now. Receive special quests from select NPCs, complete them, and you’ll get special in-game buffs and items. Those who pre-create Guardians will also receive items like a Blessed Message Scroll and an Item Collection Increase Scroll…for every half-hour you play, you’ll get another (the most you can get is four).

And the weekly Succession update is here; focusing on Dark Knights. Use Succession skills with Dark Knights to strengthen your mean weapons and level up quicker. Reach levels 56 to 60 before February 5 and you’ll be rewarded.

Black Desert Online is available now on PC.
