Snowboarding and ice fishing in Black Desert
Pearl Abyss employees invite all users of BDO to the winter event «Slope of Falling Snowflakes». You can take part in snowboarder competitions, catch a smelt from under the ice in an exciting mini-game, and then you will try to intercept a giant Yeti to defeat the monster and take the gift. However, those who simply search for decorated packaging under the holiday tree in Velia will also be able to get valuable items.
What to do for New Year in Black Desert Online?

Until January 8, users of the online game can find their gift under the tree installed for the holidays in Velia. But first you need to talk to NPC Igor Bartelli and get a special quest. Inside the beautifully decorated box, heroes will find many valuables, including cron stones, Christmas cookies, enhancements, help chests, scrolls, and the mysterious Balacs meal. Also until January 22, everyone who asks the Black Spirit for a hint will get to the Slope of Falling Snowflakes, where hundreds of characters compete in descending an icy track on a board. As a reward for sporting prowess, everyone will be given event seals and fishing rods. And the path to the competition lies through communication with Axel, Aneke, and Bjorn.
The prize fishing rods will come in handy for heroes who go ice fishing. From the ice hole you can catch ice smelt of two types — regular and plump. For the first one you can get 5,000,000 silver at the shop, and for the second one — three times more. If you already have enough virtual currency, other items are available for exchange — luck scrolls, battle and crafting scrolls, Valks' advice, cron stones, and also a fluffy alpaca pet. However, for a successful catch you need to complete a 30-second agility mini-game. The final event challenge — hunting the Yeti. This monster comes out of its cave and wanders along a predetermined route. Whoever manages to catch up and defeat it in battle will add a frost matchlock to their arsenal.
