"Masterpiece" Furniture and Titles for Treasures
Treasure-type items are clearly one of the must-have rarities Adventurers dream about obtaining in Black Desert. There wasn't a way for Adventurers to express the pleasure and satisfaction of obtaining a treasure-type item after working so hard to get it, other than linking the item in chat.We should have shown more respect for our Adventurers' efforts in overcoming challenges by providing something that naturally earns you "respect" from others without having to show it off yourself.
We've decided to do a little something to satisfy that. First, we added special titles to be clearly noticeable at a glance by others and also added furniture representing treasures so that you can constantly be reminded of your accomplishment. We crafted the pieces of furniture to illustrate that "respect" down to the smallest detail, and we hope this will provide some satisfaction for Adventurers who own the treasures.
※ The quests won't take your treasure-type items, so there's no need to worry.
- You can accept "The Treasure's True Owner" quest pertaining to each of the treasures you have in your possession by showing them to Patrigio at Crow's Nest.
- Upon completing a "The Treasure's True Owner" quest, you can obtain furniture shaped like the treasure and a title pertaining to the treasure.
※ You can meet Patrigio at Crow's Nest during Quests (O) -> Suggested -> [The Great Expedition] Crow's Nest consecutive quests.

New and Improvements
Character
Due to the revamp of the Crypt of Resting Thoughts and Gyfin Rhasia Temple Underground regions, the importance of Accuracy stats in PvP as well as PvE has come to the forefront. Accordingly, attack decision effects were added so that you can check the Accuracy of your character's attacks. With this change, you'll be able to set a clear goal for your gear or experience for yourself the Accuracy of your attacks when fighting against monsters that are much stronger than your character's level.- You can activate the settings for this feature by going to the Show/Hide tab of (New) Menu -> Setting (F10) -> Settings and set "Miss Effect."
