Black Desert Online is running a soccer-themed (or football if you prefer) event called Golden Goal to “join the world and celebrate together.”

From today until July 4th, players will be able to earn hourly rewards by completing challenges with a Golden Ball up for grabs every fifth hour. Golden Balls can be exchange for random items such as Awakening Weapon Boxes, Ring of Crescent Guardian, or even another Golden Ball. Alternatively, players can also collect different colored balls by defeating monsters, gathering materials, and by fishing. Colored balls can then be exchanged for Golden Balls.

Today’s update also introduces the revamped Guild Crafting system, class changes, monster changes, UI tweaks, and more. You’ll find the full patch notes here.

Kakao Games is also currently running a Summer Cash Shop sale with in-game goodies available for a significantly reduced amount of Pearls. Awakening Adventurer Packs are also on sale along with the Summer Pet Pack, Terrmine Sets, and furniture. Head over to Black Desert Online official site to learn more.
