Bartering

 

To all Adventurers who love Barter and those who'll be intrigued by today's update, we've got some updates to make your journey across the Great Ocean even more enjoyable. We've improved the refresh time for Barter, a feature you might have tried before, and added new quality of life features. Let's go over them one by one.

Input "Reduce Refresh Cooldown" Times

• Added a feature allowing you to input how many times to use the "Reduce Refresh Cooldown" function when refreshing the barter list.

Margoria's Star Barter Info

• Improved so you can check Margoria's Star barter information from the World Map (M).

Bulk Move Ship Cargo to Storage

We've added a handy feature that lets you move all your cargo to storage at once after finishing your bartering trips around the islands and returning to the wharf. When you're ready to sell items from storage, just use the item selling function. Plus, we've made it easier to sell items like Level 5 trade goods that don't stack in one inventory slot by letting you set the exact number to sell. Keep in mind, this feature works for any non-stacking items, not just trade goods.

• Added a function in the Load Cargo window that allows you to move all items currently loaded in your ship's inventory to the storage at once.

Selling Storage Items

• Improved so you can specify item quantities when selling identical items that don't stack in a single inventory slot through a Storage NPC.

Captains who love Barter often work out the profits between their storage stock and exchange rates, crafting their own trade routes for fun. Now, you can check how many items you have on your ship or in storage right from the Barter Information UI. The Barter Information UI also lets you "Hide Completed Barter Nodes." By using both features, you can easily see which delivery regions are left for the goods on your ship, among other handy uses.

• Added the "View Only Owned" function to the barter Information window.
  • Simplified the "Hide Completed Barter Nodes" function into an icon button format.

Load Cargo Directly from the Barter Info Window

• Improved the Barter Info window to show items in ships and storage.
  
  • Additionally added a function to move barter goods directly by pressing the ship or storage icons.

Example of Use: Check the number of items in storage and then directly load the cargo.

[Level 5] Trade Goods

Besides making Barter more convenient, we're also upping the price of Level 5 trade goods. Furthermore, if you've wrapped up all your bartering, we're working on improvements to help you keep thriving in the Great Ocean. You can earn extra rewards from upgraded ocean monster zones or by tackling daily and weekly quests.

• As the waves relentlessly rise in the waters nearby and in the vast expanse of Margoria Sea, the barterers stationed on each island eagerly await the news of trade from the sailing vessels. With the delivery of Tier 5 barter goods delayed, merchants are seizing the opportunity to purchase some precious goods at a premium price.
  
  • Increased the NPC shop selling price for Level 5 barter trade goods as follows.

• As the merchants began acquiring Level 5 trade goods at premium prices, the barterers, too, found themselves in a flurry of activity, eager to secure these coveted items. They now offer exchanges with even more Crow Coins for these precious wares.
  
  • Increased the amount of Crow Coins obtainable when exchanging Level 5 barter items.

• Changed some items available for exchange via bartering as follows.

---

 

Great Ocean Monster Zones

 

Sea Monster Habitat - Saltwater Crocodile

---

• Increased the quantity of Sea Monster's Spirit Pouch and Ferocious Sea Monster's Spirit Pouch by 3.5 times when defeating monsters in the designated monster zones.

Item Name	Before	After
Sea Monster's Spirit Pouch	x15 - 25	x50 - 60
Ferocious Sea Monster's Spirit Pouch	x3 - 5	x8 - 10

 

 

Goldmont Pirate Territory

---

• Increased the drop rates of Elaborate Pearl Necklace, Obsidian Crystal Bracelet, Gilded Coral, and Golden Turtle Shell obtained from defeating monsters in the following zones by 600%.

Item Name	Changes
Golden Coral (Selling Price: 10,000,000 Silver)	Increased drop rate by 600%
Elaborate Pearl Necklace (Selling Price: 30,000,000 Silver)	Increased drop rate by 600%

Large Sea Monster Habitat - Lekrashan

---

• Increased the spawn rate of Lekrashan by 150% when defeating Nineshark and Black Rust in the designated monster zones.

 

 

Breezy Crystal

---

• Reduced the purchase price of "Breezy Crystal," which supplies cannonballs for cannons, from 200,000 to 50,000 Silver.
  
  • This item can be purchased from wharf manager NPC shops. Supplies 2 cannonballs to the ship per use.

 

Sailing Quests

Velia & Port Epheria Subjugation Quests

---

The quest to take down Margoria sea monsters, available from Croix the wharf manager in Velia, can also be picked up under a different name at Port Epheria. Many captains would grab quests from both places before setting sail. With this update, we've made it easier—now you can get combined rewards from both regions by accepting the quest in just one.

 

When the Great Expedition first launched, quest objectives weren't marked to encourage exploration of the vast Margoria Sea. As a result, it was difficult to find the monster locations. Now, in line with updates like setting waypoints on the World Map when you have a compass in Margoria, we have improved it to make it easier to find monster locations.

 

Additionally, we've boosted the amount of "Origin of Wind" to help Adventurers subjugating in the Great Ocean.

• Improved the following quests that could be undertaken in Velia or Port Epheria.
  
  • Allowed players to receive rewards equal to the combined amount from undertaking the quests in both towns, even if the quest was accepted in only one.
    
    • With the rewards increased accordingly, you can only complete one quest with the same objective per town every day.

The Supplies Delivery Quest is a time-sensitive mission where you need to deliver supplies quickly. Sometimes, Adventurers would accept the quest but not start right away, ending up having to accept it again or give up. With this update, we've extended the quest duration by up to three times, so you can tackle it more flexibly, even while juggling other sailing quests or bartering.

• Added and expanded the rewards for the following three quests from Velia & Iliya Island NPCs.

3 Supplies Delivery Quests

Oquilla's Eye Quests

---

The old daily quests for handing over Yellow Swordfish and Coral Pieces at Oquilla's Eye are being removed. They'll be replaced with new weekly quests to make things easier. Additionally, you won't need to head inside Oquilla's Eye to start them—the Quest NPC will now be near the wharf for your convenience.

• Removed the following three quests from inside Oquilla's Eye.            
  
  • They're now available as weekly quests from an NPC near the Oquilla's Eye Wharf.

• Added two new quests, which can be accepted from NPCs near the Oquilla's Eye Wharf.

Oquilla's Eye Wharf Quests

---

The previous quests at Oquilla's Eye Wharf were primarily focused on crafting Carracks. However, with this update, the objectives have been elevated to the next level. Here are the key changes to the Oquilla's Eye Wharf quests:

 

1. Crow Coins are now a basic reward, not a selectable one.

2. Blue grade Carrack equipment crafting materials have been added to the selectable rewards.

3. Up to double the Sailing EXP can be obtained compared to before.

 

While previous sailing quests primarily rewarded materials for Carrack crafting, the improved quests are designed to be more appealing to captains looking to craft Carrack equipment.

 

These updates are beneficial even for seasoned captains. Whether you're completing daily sailing quests with your guild members, friends, or beginner captains, you'll now earn more Sailing EXP, Crow Coins, and blue grade Carrack equipment crafting materials than before.

• Added and expanded the rewards for the following quests from NPCs near the Oquilla's Eye Wharf.

• Added a quest that can be accepted from Haeran of the [Ratt Delegation] at Oquilla's Eye.
  
  • This quest can be carried out at the Large Sea Monster Habitat - Lekrashan Monster Zone.

• Changed the quest objectives from Haeran of the [Ratt Delegation] at Oquilla's Eye as follows.

The "Rusalka Sea Crystal" has been added. This new crystal boasts slightly higher effects than the existing Margoria Sea Crystal. One of its unique features is that, unlike other sea crystals, its effects are not limited to a specific area but are applied consistently. For today's update, the crafting recipe wasn't included but we're working on allowing players to craft "Oceanteared Ebenruth's Nol," which we introduced in the Black Desert Global Lab. This will enable players to enjoy the combined effects of the Sea Crystal and Ebenruth's Nol. We're making sure you'll be informed promptly when it's ready to be applied to the official server.

• Added a new Sea Crystal, Rusalka Sea Crystal.

Rusalka Sea Crystal

Rusalka Sea Crystal Equip Effect

• You can obtain the Rusalka Sea Crystal by right-clicking to use the Rusalka Crystal.
  
  • There are 8 different types of Rusalka Sea Crystals, each with unique effects. When you use the Rusalka Crystal, you'll randomly receive one.

• You can obtain the Rusalka Crystal through the following methods.

Rusalka Crystal (Simple Alchemy)	Origin of Margoria x10 + Oquilla Crimson Fresh Water x1 + Void Sea Crystal x1 * Perform Simple Alchemy on a Margoria Sea Crystal to get Origin of Margoria x1-2.
Rusalka Crystal (Simple Alchemy)	Origin of Rusalka x3 + Void Sea Crystal x1 * Perform Simple Alchemy on a Rusalka Sea Crystal to get Origin of Rusalka x1.

Sea Crystal Improvements

With the addition of the Rusalka Sea Crystal, changes are coming to the existing four types of Sea Crystals. To ensure players don't obtain low-stat Sea Crystals, we've streamlined the total number of Sea Crystal items by half.

 

Furthermore, when processing Margoria Sea Crystals to craft Rusalka Crystals, the amount of "Origin of Margoria" obtained has been increased.

---

• Simplified the types of Sea Crystals you can get with the following items from 80 to 40.
  
  • You won't be able to get Sea Crystals with lower stats from the following 4 types anymore.
    
    • Eltro Crystal
    • Serni Crystal
    • Zulatia Crystal
    • Margoria Crystal

• Now, when you use Simple Alchemy (L) on a Margoria Sea Crystal, you'll get Origin of Margoria x1-2.
  
  • You can use the Origin of Margoria to craft a Rusalka Crystal or make another Margoria Crystal.

 

Torn Treasure Map Piece

---

Now, the Torn Treasure Map Pieces can stack in a single inventory slot, reducing the strain on your inventory space. This change allows you to easily check the number of pieces you own, making storage a bit more convenient.

• Improved so that the same Torn Treasure Map Piece stack in one slot in the inventory.
  
  • You can still combine them into a Treasure Map of a Sailor in your inventory or Yaz's Combinables Pouch, just like before.

* With this update, any Torn Treasure Map Pieces you had in your inventory have been moved to the Heidel Storage.

 

• Added and improved the usage and acquisition info in the descriptions of the following items:
  
  • Each type of Torn Treasure Map Piece
  • Each type of Treasure Map of a Sailor
  • Moss-Covered Map
  • Ravinia's Moss Remover
  • Epheria Carrack Parts Upgrade Permit: Advance/Balance/Volante/Valor
  • Claws of the Waves

Items with New or Updated Usage and Acquisition Details

Trade Goods Rovinia's Supplies (Tinberra Island) Croix's Supplies (Iliya Island) Dario's Supplies (Oquilla's Eye)

 

Additional Improvements

Iliya Island has a popular wharf among many sea-faring captains. Previously, ships were taken out facing a single direction, requiring a big turn when setting sail towards Lema Island. Now, the ship retrieval location has been changed, allowing for easier movement in any direction.

• Improved where you can take out ships stored at the Iliya Island Wharf.

Before

After

In the Kuit Islands, adventurers often found the distance between the Wharf Manager and the Barterers to be inconvenient. Additionally, retrieving a ship through the Wharf Manager was challenging due to obstructive terrain. We have addressed these issues by bringing the two NPCs closer together and adjusting the ship retrieval location for smoother navigation.

• Changed the location of Kuit Islands' Wharf Manager as below. Also changed the area for taking out ships and nearby Safe Zone.

Before

After

• Hearing about the new winds on the Great Ocean, the Kalis Parliament proposed a reef removal project to ensure the safety and ease of ships trading along the coast.
  
  • Elina Leight, who previously led the reef removal near Port Epheria, started gathering feedback from her former crew of laborers.

 

Planned Reef Removal Sites

Near Iliya Island Wharf
Areas to watch out for when ships enter or leave.
Last month, Papu Barterer Priko nearly caused an accident while directing ship traffic (according to Priko).

 

Near Delinghart Island

Large ships like the Epheria Carrack struggle to pass,

so barterers must meet them directly.

Recently, Otter Barterer Serrio tripped over his own tail twice while

coming out to unload goods (apparently, it happens quite often).

• At the conclusion of the Arena of Solare regular season, players will receive a special stylized name frame for battlefields.

• Changed the Max MP/WP/SP item effect amount for the Arena of Solare exclusive "Resolute Armor - Damage Reduction & Evasion": +10 → +100

Honglim Base

• Added so that you can see the stats increase from the last level up in the Horse Details window.
