[Developer's Comment]
→ The Old Moon Sky Balloon has been designed in order to help new adventurers who have difficulty and suffer from inconvenience when travelling around the Black Desert World. You can travel between major cities with the Old Moon Sky Balloon. The Balloon travelling between Calpheon and Mediah will provide gorgeous sky view of the land where you travelled around before. Why don't you call your friend and leave together for the trip to the memory of the past?
