New Class Buccaneer Sets Sail in Black Desert Mobile

      Pearl Abyss announced today that the new class Buccaneer has arrived in Black Desert Mobile. Adventurers can now experience bone-chilling, bombastic combat with the new class in her camaraderie with the loyal Slippery Scallywags.

Buccaneer, the captain of the Slippery Scallywags, is the Awakened class of Corsair. All enemies who dare challenge her will also need to come face-to-face with her trusty companions. They are always in range to support Buccaneer during combat by launching a giant anchor or shooting cannons over a wide area of the battlefield.

She uses the Patraca as her main weapon to both slash down enemies and shoot harpoons at enemies from afar. She can also create mist to conceal herself from enemies and perform surprise attack maneuvers.

With her unique combat style, she conquers the battlefield with skills such as "Waterworks," where she launches an exploding orb to a wide range of foes. She can also use skills in tandem with the Slippery Scallywags, such as "Cap'n's Orders: Fire Away!" in which they drop an enormous anchor on the battlefield at Buccaneer's command.

To celebrate the launch of Buccaneer, the "Scallywags' Daily Missions" event will take place until September 19. Adventurers can complete up to 5 missions daily to obtain rewards and reach milestones for bonus rewards, such as a Chaos Jewel Chest, Black Pearls, and Ah'krads.

Moreover, Adventurers can complete login missions until September 12 to obtain Slippery Scallywags' Loot. This loot can be opened to acquire various items, including Adventurer's Ancient Inscribed Glyph, Alyaelli Fragments, and an Adventurer's Alchemy Stone Growth Support Chest.

Huion Released the 1st Generation of Huion Note

      Huion, dedicated to designing and manufacturing pen tablets, pen displays and relevant accessories, launched the 1^st generation of Huion Note on August 31, 2022 (Shenzhen, China).

Compared to the Huion regular pen tablets and pen displays, Huion Note is portable. The ideal dimension and premium PU leather cover make its overall shape delicate, and the simple but high-end design makes it an elegant feel.

This digital notebook can be widely used by business people, office workers, and campus students to improve working efficiency without changing the traditional method of taking notes.

It's compatible with iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS, meaning the users can dive into the unit on the go.

What Makes It Outstanding?

• Battery-free Digital Pen
  Huion Note comes with Huion Scribo 2, the second generation of Huion Scribo, which uses the passive EMR technology for battery-free. It's powered by PenTech 3.0 to shorten retraction distance and ensure accurate lines and strokes. That helps to provide a better writing experience. Huion Scribo 2 supports 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity to bring users a smooth writing feeling.
  
• Bluetooth 5.0
  Bluetooth 5.0 is not the latest technology but is leading the market's competitors. To pair the device, we can scan the QR code on the Huion Note (download and install the Huion Note APP on your phone/tablet first) or select "Huion Note" on the list of paired devices.
  
• Additional Functions

- Time-synced notes
- Add recordings
- Notes & audio playback simultaneously
- Support merging & splitting notes

Huion Note is feature-rich and properly applies to office people and students. For instance, it supports synchronizing users' notes on Huion Note to their phone/tablet in real-time.

What's more, Huion Note allows you to record the sounds simultaneously while taking notes, and it resembles what you thought at the moment when you made a note. That's why we say it's perfect for people who need meeting minutes and taking notes.

Final Words

With a 1300mAh battery, Huion Note has a long battery life of 18 hours. It's convenient for the users to sketch and take notes anytime, anywhere.

Huion Note marks an essential innovation: the appearance and its technology. You can expect its promising performance, and we believe Huion will never let you down.
