I can’t find any betrayer’s tombstone in the said location. I tried different servers with different characters. Is this outdated?
Hello 🙂 It is currently disabled due to an exploit. Hopefully, will be fixed soon. More info here: https://www.naeu.playblackdesert.com/en-US/News/Detail?groupContentNo=1782&countryType=en-US
The gravestones are fixed I sent ticket to support today and I was told they fixed it last week I tried it and it works
Hello 🙂 Thanks for the update!
Hi, the caphras journal of glory works for the extra xp?
Hello 🙂 It’s an item that you use one time and get Contribution. “Caphras – Journal of Glory” is a separate item that you wear from a different Adventure Log. View details: Caphras Adventure Log.
Book 2, chapter 3: even if you already have more than the 700 amity required (I had 2164), the dialog option won’t show for you to complete the step when using a char that went through simplified seasonal quest. Go there with a char that actually did Mediah storyline…
Hello 🙂 Thanks for the info! That seems like a bug. I hope they fix it soon.
u need Interact with Neruda Shen first
went there with three characters that completed mediah’s storyline, still can’t do anything
Hello 🙂 You met all the other requirements? Level 57+ and talked to Black Spirit to pick up his quest?
What quest do I need to pick up for that?
Quest Requirements:
Mediah main quest line (O key, then Main tab)
Apocalyptic Prophecy, [Special Growth] Fughar’s Memorandum – Chapter 9, or [Co-op] Awakened Black Spirit
Black Spirit quest: Adventure Journal: From the Bottom to the Top (Quests > Suggestions)
Have fun! 🙂
I can’t get the design from Kanna. I completed her questline years ago, when I try to buy it now( I already have 400 amity) the game simply says “this item can’t be bought”
Hello 🙂 I’m not sure why it’s not working for you. Does Kana have any quests at all for you? They did change this quest line quite a while ago. You may have to redo it. If all else fails, try contacting support. Sorry!
hello, i accidentally used a char that did the simplified quest for book 2 chapter 3. I tried going back with a char that did the regular questline and nothing is showing up. I got the knowledge i needed but couldnt complete the page…
Hello 🙂 It looks like there is a bug involved with that. Sorry! Keep watch on the patch notes to see when it is fixed. Maybe support can help? I’m not sure.
I sent an inquiries at the official website and they said I just needed to increase my amity even if its past 700. Thanks though!
Thanks for letting us know! How high did you have to go?
