Above the clouds … now you fly there with hot air balloons in the MMORPG Black Desert after the latest update. What is beautiful for some seems somehow unfair to others.
What has been introduced? With an update, Pearl Abyss has integrated the ability to float over the world with hot air balloons in Black Desert.
A Balloon Ride
How does the balloon work? The sky balloon was created by the Encarotia family, the dwarf craftsmen of the Great Crater of Gavinya and the Altinova guild. The balloon travels through Calpheon, Altinova, and Valencia.
- You board a balloon at the Altinova guild after purchasing a ticket from one of these NPCs:
- Calpheon: Kalix
- Altinova: Lisam
- Valencia: Mason
- You pay for the ticket with Black Stone (Weapon) or Black Stone (Armor). Once you have paid, the balloon, operated by a dwarf, will appear.
- Up to two adventurers can ride in the sky balloon.
- It is generally not possible to exit the balloon during the ride.
- However, if you return to the character selection screen during the ride and select the same character, they will fall to the ground. However, they will not take damage.
- Once the sky balloon reaches its destination, you will automatically disembark.
- The balloon moves relatively slowly. A ride from Altinova to Valencia takes about 16 minutes, while you can reach Calpheon from Altinova in about 8 minutes.
What does the balloon provide? Especially for beginners in the very popular MMORPG, the balloon offers a good opportunity to reach distant places safely.
In addition, the ride is a pleasant and relaxing experience. You can enjoy the beautiful world of Black Desert from the air.
Players use the trick of returning to the character screen and subsequently falling to the ground to shortcut to certain locations.
How do players react to the balloon? Veterans find the balloon unnecessary and are somewhat annoyed that newcomers can also reach places they have not yet visited.
Phoenixxx75 writes in the official forum: “New players should not be able to travel to cities they have not found yet in this way. Just as you cannot meet NPCs that you have not found yet.”
