Bartering is another field of lifeskills that has come to adventurers with the opening of the Ocean Age in 2019. Even today, there are many adventurers who continue to love the ocean of Black Desert, like the captains of the Barrel’s Dancing Marlin Bar. It is the dream of many adventurers to cruise the vast ocean on a large ship, but currently, the process of building a sailboat by going through several large ships can be somewhat burdensome, so today’s update allows more adventurers to explore the ocean. We have eased the bartering, quest process, and item acquisition process so that you can sail the seas with countless captains.
Representative updates include shortening the waiting time for barter renewal, expanding opportunities to acquire expansion material items, easing and simplifying quest goals, and easing the burden of land materials.
I hope this will be an opportunity for adventurers who have dreamed of exploring the ocean to make their dreams come true.
We hope that the captains who are doing great work across the ocean will be able to enjoy a more convenient and enjoyable voyage with them.

Blackstone Simplification
In today’s update, as previously announced, the simplification of Black Stone items has been carried out. This is a task to integrate black stones, which were used separately according to the type of weapon and armor, so that they can be used as one type of item each.
Since Black Stone is an item that has been with Black Desert and adventurers for a long time, we are checking various ways to obtain it and use it.
Therefore, today’s update is the first work to simplify the usage , processing, and exchange.
we plan to simplify the acquisition of various contents, quests, access rewards, boxes, and packages In the second simplification process
As the first simplification work progressed, strengthening material items that were used separately for weapons/armor were unified to be used through weapon enhancing material items.
(Existing) armor enhancement items acquired before the second simplification process is carried out can be exchanged through Black Spirit.
Once this simplification work is completed, the names of enhancement material items will also be modified accordingly.

- Concentrated Magical Black Stone (Weapon), Concentrated Magical Black Stone (Armor) → Concentrated Magical Black Stone (Weapon)
- Enhancement material items that were used separately depending on the weapon/armor item have been improved to be used one type at a time regardless of type.
Exchange unused items

| Items needed | Acquired Items |
| 1 hard black crystal piece | 1 sharp black crystal piece |
