To lower the difficulty for starting the Great Expedition content, we created the path of building Bartali Sailboats to Epheria Carracks, and have added several support systems to aid in their growth. And yet, we know that there are many adventurers who thirst for more things to do in the whole process early on. Thus, after thinking long and hard about this matter, we decided to add the new level of "Material Bartering" to the entire process.
Bartering will now be divided into Sea Trade Good Exchange and Ship Material Exchange, and in doing so, we also had to change the entire Bartering Refresh method. Through Ship Material Exchange, you can acquire a variety of upgrade materials for all ships including the Epheria Caravel to the Epheria Carrack, as well as blue-grade Epheria Carrack equipment. For adventurers who no longer need to exchange for materials, we've also added a new bartering item "Golden Plate" that they can try their luck at obtaining.
Bartering is, when compared to the standard of things that tend to wear out players from enjoying Black Desert content, one of the areas adventurers can potentially acquire a high level of profits, and hence a large number of adventurers are sailing the high seas on their respective carracks. We too are keeping a close eye on things, especially to stamp out any chance of irregular trade that might occur. From this view, the change to refresh we applied in our last Black Desert Global Labs was intended to narrow the gap between hardcore and casual players, yet one negative consequence was drastically reducing the profits obtainable based on time invested, hence we ended up readjusting that change. On one hand, especially to return to the initial intention, we greatly reduced the amount of accumulated bartering counts that was required for the emergence of exchangeable Carrack materials, which was equally being applied to material bartering, thereby hastening the amount time necessary for seafaring adventurers with caravels and frigates to gain access to carracks.
