Introduction

This guide is for installing and setting-up the game for the Korean OBT. All the guides and patch notes or news on BDFoundry are currently for the Korean version. The differences between the Korean and Japenese OBT is that Japan’s version does not require you to buy an account. The disadvantages is that the version does require a VPN and that the patches are really behind. This means that the Valkyrie, Blader, Plum, Wizard and Witch classes are not avaliable, along with some armor types, items and other various features.

Getting your account

I recommend using newgameway.com to purchase an account for 10$. Myself and 3 friends have all purchased our accounts from this website and have had no problems at all. The account will take up to 12 hours to be set-up and you will receive an email as soon as it is ready with a guide on how to set up. If you don’t receive an email within 12 hours of purchasing, you can contact them through live chat.

Go to http://www.newgameway.com/ and register
Select Black Desert (KR) from the list
Add “Black Desert (KR) OBT Account(General)” to your cart and follow the website instructions to purchase

The set-up guide can be found here: http://www.newgameway.com/shownews.php?cid=4&id=582

How to install Black Desert

Please make sure you read this guide very carefully and follow all the steps, if you don’t do everything in the right order it will not work correctly and you may experience issues such as patch looping. Changing your DNS is no longer required to install or connect to the game. You can also skip stages 9 to 16 under “Installing Black Desert” if you download the game from the official website, however this can take much longer. If you have any problems please post a comment and I will try to help.

Changing your DNS (optional)

Go to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center
Click “Change adapter settings”
Right-click your network connection and go to “Properties”
Click “Internet Protocol Version 4” and click “Properties”
Select “Use the following DNS server address”
Change “Preferred DNS server” to 8.8.8.8 and “Alternate DNS server” to 8.8.4.4
Click OK then Close

Click next, then untick the bottom check box, and click next two more times
Check the tick box then click the blue button
Leave the downloader to set-up for a few seconds then close it
Go to http://www.speedyshare.com/kJFMr/Daum-Games.torrent (Most recent version 23/07/15 includes Valencia Patch) OR https://thepiratebay.se/torrent/11860669/Black_Desert OR http://www.mediafire.com/download/x8jwv17vr6c35is/OLD+DONT+DOWNLOAD.torrent to download the uTorrent files
Go to your Black Desert folder in your Program files and delete everything inside it
Extract the files you downloaded from uTorrent into the empty Black Desert folder in Program Files

Launching the game

Using Internet Explorer or Firefox, go back to http://black.game.daum.net/black/index.daum and log-in
Click “Game Start”
Run the launcher and let it patch if needed
Click the Red button to launch the game

I recommend joining the Calpheon (칼페온) server because this is where most of the English speaking players are.

English Patch

I highly recommend using the Full English Patch as it translates all the basics, most item descriptions, quest descriptions and some NPC conversations and story lines. All of our guides use the Full English (Beta) Patch.

To download the English Patch go to:

https://www.reddit.com/r/blackdesertonline/comments/3uuuob/black_desert_eujpkr_english_patch_automatic/

You can place the patcher anywhere on your computer and it will automatically detect your Black Desert files.

Every game patch you will need to delete and re-apply the English Patch or you will experience crashing and will not be able to play.
