● Treasure hunters have hidden treasure chests throughout the world of Black Desert once more.
- Over the passing of time, the treasure hunters have stored even more precious and rare items in the treasure chests.
- Rumor has it that the treasure hunters have packed their treasure chests with even more precious items and hidden them away. However you will need special keys to unlock and obtain their valuable contents.
- You can obtain these special keys from goblins and grave robbers who are also looking to loot these chests.
- Goblins and grave robbers will linger around treasure chests, and you won't know which you will encounter at a chest.
- When you open the treasure chest, an opportunity-seeking goblin or grave robber will appear. You will need to chase after them and make them drop the special key.
 |
 |
- The goblin's key will unlock more valuable and rare items than will a grave robber's key.
- Only special keys can unlock these treasure chests hidden throughout Balenos, Serendia, and Calpheon, and they say you can obtain rare treasures from the past.
