Kakao/Daum has made a decision to allow players to sell Black Desert Online Pearl Shop items on the Marketplace, allowing players to earn ingame silvers with RL currency.
Open the Central Market by pressing ESC and selecting the Central Market icon, or go to a Marketplace Director NPC. On the left of the window, you can see all the catagories for the types of items you can buy and select subcatagories to help filter certain items. You can also search for a particular item, and set up to 10 searches as your. There is a button in the Market Place with an explanation on how to bid. Keep in mind it is still RNG if you win the bid or not. Beer is one of the easiest things to cook yourself and the side products (turn ins for xp, cp and goodies) make it worth your while.
Greetings Adventurers,
Today we are writing you to provide insight into a new mechanic you can expect to see next week, following the normally scheduled maintenance. After detailed discussions with the Developers at Pearl Abyss, it has been decided that the Value Package, Outfits, Costumes and Pets will be made available via the Market Place. We, the Kakao Team, understand the impact of such a change and wish to provide as much information as possible, therefore we are explaining this change in advance to grant clarity.
We understand that this change will spark discussions, and have asked Pearl Abyss to share their thoughts behind this decision. Pearl Abyss considers in-game accessibility to Pearl Items necessary in Black Desert. Regardless of the region, there will always be players who, for whatever reason, do not get to experience all the features Black Desert offers, including Pearl Shop Items. Adding a mechanic that grants access to Pearl Shop items with in game currency will allow more players to enjoy such content. They are open to the community’s feedback and ask you to share your thoughts and concerns about this change.
We have communicated your feedback about such changes and your concern for players potentially being able to invest real money in order to gain an advantage, and in response Pearl Abyss has built limitation mechanics into the game. Players will be limited to selling five items from the Pearl Shop on the Market Place per week. This compromise will still provide in game accessibility but restrict how much can be gained via real money investment.
As we have stressed in the past, your feedback is paramount to us, and that is still true. We encourage you to share your thoughts on this change as Pearl Abyss has requested. However, we ask that you do so in a non-abusive but constructive manner. We will continue to communicate on your behalf, and thank you in advance for your efforts.
-The Kakao Team

- I like the part where you sell items to the market and buy items from the market, and not from the players. GW2 does it well and i love it.If i cannot trade directly with a player then i don't need to trade with players via market. Let the game pay me instantly and buy from me as wellI hope they implement this system well.
- Ok, so basically it's exactly the same as before, but the seller gets their silver instantly from the market instead of waiting for a buyer's purchase. While I personally can't stand BDO's market system AND their lack of player to player trading, they can claim it as a success against gold sellers. However, after my time spent in BDO, I've come to the conclusion that gold sellers are far less of a problem compared to not having player to player trading.
- The most theme park economy of any MMORPG I know. It's actually a throwback to pre-WOW days.
Just garbage.
They don't want goldsellers at any cost because that would dip into their profits xDOk, so basically it's exactly the same as before, but the seller gets their silver instantly from the market instead of waiting for a buyer's purchase.

No player to player trading is definitely one of the bigger downsides to BDO. Then again, it's in line with the rest of the game. Outside of large scale PvP they give you very little reason to ever do anything with another player.My SWTOR referral link for those wanting to give the game a try.

Got it.
Accurate. They just made it easier on them.So... bots will keep buying out all vip time packages and we can't do shit about it. Got it.
The whole system very much favors whales and bots from what I've heard so far.
As much of a pain the bidding might have been, this is likely not going to be an improvement for anyone that isn't a hardcore player.
That's not to say it doesn't have SOME perks. The centralized funds will be good. No more having to keep 200 mil in each city in case you need to buy something. Selling to the MP itself will be good. The increased prices (goes both ways) might be good. Hard to tell at this point.
But getting rid of the bidding system will do a lot of harm IMO. They will never fully squash the bots, and even if they did, the new system will heavily favor anyone who lives close to the servers.My SWTOR referral link for those wanting to give the game a try.
