Introduction
Global Labs is a test server that all regions with Black Desert can access. It is a separate game client, so you must register a new account and download Global Labs. You cannot have Global Labs and another Black Desert Client running at the same time.
Only Windows PC can participate at the moment and English, Korean, and Chinese (Traditional) languages are supported.
The Global Labs server is simply for testing new patches and content before they are added to live servers. There may be game-breaking bugs and characters may be wiped at any moment. Anything you do on Global Labs is not linked to your main account.
To submit feedback, go to the feedback section on the official Global Labs website. You can also join the discord.
Global Lab patches are currently published in Korean only. We do breakdowns of each patch in English and you can find these in our Global news section.

After you have registered, go to the Download page and download the client. Whilst downloading you may notice that the percent (%) bar is not moving, this is completely normal and it is just unpacking files. Watch your GB transfer progress if you are unsure whether the launcher is stuck or not.
To transfer your characters from your main account to Global Labs, you can log into your main account, then go to the ESC menu > Adventurer Support > Global Lab.

The Family Transfer is only available for Korea, North America, Europe, and South America servers.
For Taiwan, Japan, Asia, and Turkey, you must still register as a tester through the ESC menu, but cannot transfer your characters to Global Lab.
Select your server from the drop-down box and click the “Transfer Game Data” button. This process will take 10 minutes.
Once the transfer is complete, you can log out of your main account and go back to the Global Lab Launcher.

NPC Shop
The Central Market on Global Labs has very few items. But there is an NPC called Eiorah which is only available on Global Labs. She can be found in towns and cities and will sell lots of different items, such as gear, pets, fairy, manos gear, consumables, tuvala gear, etc. Basically anything you should need to test new classes or features.
You can find her using the NPC finder.
All of her locations are also shown below:

How to get gear on Global Labs
Some items in her shop are not translated into English so here is a breakdown of some of the items she sells. Each of the gearboxes can be opened to give you all boss gear options at TET and PEN. You can also find the items unenhanced further down if you would like to test the enhancing system.
Quick Tip: When opening the boxes, there is an annoying cheer animation each time and you can’t open another box until the animation ends. You can buy a fishing rod from Crio and equip it to remove the cheer animation when opening the boxes.
