Black Desert Online’s Trading System Revamped to Mimic Real-world Economics
The MMORPG Black Desert Online, developed by Pearl Abyss, has unveiled an upgraded in-game trading system. This enhancement allows players to conduct transactions involving goods from multiple locations, keep track of market price shifts, and even utilize rumors to secure advantageous deals.
This revamped system enables a more realistic economic simulation for players. Similar to real-world scenarios, commodity prices are affected by supply and demand, requiring players to strategically buy and sell items from various locations at the best rates. In addition, town gossip can be factored into price forecasting, although the accuracy of such information may vary.
Other refinements to the game include an expanded silver storage capacity, purchase-time-dependent item pricing, and a four-hour refresh rate for market prices. Pearl Abyss has also decreased the weight restriction for Central Market storage and facilitated the transfer of silver between characters belonging to the same family.
By implementing these changes, Black Desert Online aims to offer a more immersive trading experience and elevate the overall gameplay quality.
