Item
Changes to the price cap of some crafted items on the Central Market
In Black Desert, Adventurers can craft various items like cooking/alchemy tools, wagons, and fishing rods via workshops. While many of these items remain highly useful, their Central Market prices have changed little over time.
Considering the rising cost of crafting materials, Adventurers often faced a loss when selling these items. To address this, we have increased the Max Price for select crafted items on the Central Market. We hope this change allows crafters to turn a profit and buyers to benefit from increased supply.
In addition, we have also raised the price of buff items obtained via Royal Workshops so they can be sold for greater profit as needed.
- The price cap for some items on the Central Market has been changed.
