Buy Black Desert as a Founder Package – Which Package is the Right One?

The release of Black Desert is approaching and interested parties have the last chance to secure the pre-order packages.

Black Desert will officially be released on March 3, 2016, after a long wait. A few days earlier, on February 26, the sale of the pre-order packages will end. So now is the last chance to secure one of these packages. Although the packages can still be purchased later, many of the pre-order bonuses will disappear forever – let’s take a closer look at what is included and how much they cost.

The three pre-order packages in detail

There are a total of 3 different variants of the pre-order packages, priced between €30 and €100. We will go into detail on the three packages and show you what you get for your money.

The smallest pre-order package – The Traveler’s Package

For €30, the Travelers Package awaits you, with which you secure a small number of additional contents (besides the base game).

• So there are 3 coupons for housing items from the shop
• 3 random colors for dyeing armor
• 1 character modification ticket (for later adjusting the appearance),
• 3 single skill resets (for redistributing skill points)
• and a steel tool box for professions.

In addition, there are the bonuses that are exclusive to the pre-order:

• 24 hours head start
• A special title (not known yet)
• Reservation for family and character names
• 1 additional character slot

The middle way – The Explorer’s Package

Whoever lets €50 wander across the virtual table gets the Explorer’s Package with all the benefits of the first package, but significantly more of most things, the following changes are added:

• The number of housing coupons, dye boxes, and single skill resets increases from 3 to 5 each
• A Tier 3 horse (for shorter travel times)
• A permanent horse whistle to call the horse over long distances
• A free choice from the wide range of pets (that loot for the player)

There are the following changes to the pre-order bonuses:

• 48 hours head start
• 2 additional character slots
• 1 exclusive weapon skin

The premium variant – The Conqueror’s Package

If the previous packages are still not enough and you’d like to part with a €100 bill, then you should consider the premium variant, the Conqueror’s Package. This includes all previously mentioned bonuses and the following changes:

• 10 housing coupons, dye boxes, and single skill resets each
• A Tier 5 horse (instead of the Tier 3 variant)
• 2500 pearls (the currency for the in-game shop, worth €25)

And lastly, again the exclusive bonuses that are only available during the pre-order:

• 96 hours head start
• 3 additional character slots
• 1 exclusive costume

Lastly, it should be noted about the horses that while they are “nice”, they do not provide any advantage in the endgame. Therefore, they are not “pay-to-win”, but rather a nice comfort feature that allows you to save some time early on.

Ultimately, whether to purchase a package is something each player must decide for themselves. Here is the link to the official shop page, where you can take a closer look at the offers.
