Black Desert Valentine's Day Events

  • Catch the Chocolate Thief: A goblin has stolen your chocolate! Catch the goblin in monster zones and take back the "Chocolate Basket", which can be opened for a chance to obtain various items including Cron Stone x100 and Item Collection Increase Scroll. These items can be used in Black Desert Online for a variety of activities, including gear enhancement.
  • Make Chocolate with Love: Follow a series of in-game activities and challenges to obtain the ingredients for making the "Chocolates Full O' Love" for the NPCs in Velia: Santo Manzi, Crio, and Bahar. Those who reach more than 1,000 Amity points with these NPCs will be compensated with special support rewards that vary depending on the NPC.
  • Send a Love Letter: Send a Valentine's love letter to your fellow Adventurer to whom you're grateful. The recipient will receive a Sweet Gift in their mail that comprises a Sweet Chest, a Sweet Reply, and a Dark Chocolate. The Sweet Chest can be opened to randomly obtain a reward, such as Advice of Valks and an Extra Mount EXP Scroll. By using the Sweet Reply item, Adventurers can return a love letter to the sender. Using a Dark Chocolate item will grant players Energy Recovery +20.
"During the Valentine's Day event period, players will benefit from a 50% increased rate of item drops in some monster zones, and treasure items can also be obtained in a variety of extra monster zones. In addition, players can enjoy the 500% Combat EXP, 50% Skill EXP, and 50% Mount EXP increase until the regular maintenance begins on Wednesday, February 15. Last but not least, Pearl Abyss will host a special Valentine Day's quiz show with official Black Desert partners, which will be livestreamed on the official Twitch channel on Tuesday, February 14 at 11:00 (PST).
