Black Desert tweaks login rewards, adds events and loot ahead of lunar new year

Seollal, the Korean version of the traditional lunar new year, technically begins just after Valentine’s day in 2018, but that’s not going to stop Black Desert from kicking off the festivities early. As of today, the game’s patched in a bundle of themed quests and items. Here’s what to expect:

• Login rewards (they call ’em attendance rewards, mind) are getting a huge shakeup. In fact, Kakao’s helping out weekend warriors by allowing folks to catch up on collecting the login rewards by playing multiple hours on the weekends (anyone ever seen an MMO do that before?).
• In the cash shop, there’s a ton of Korean hanbok, some traditional ones for the men and some super short-skirted modern takes for the ladies, plus the requisite fireworks and lanterns.
• You can also buy those lanterns for 1 loyalty and deploy them for buffs to “light up the skies.”
• Finally, there’s the new Quests of Fortune event, which officially begins tomorrow. Hope you like fortune cookies!
