Black Essence gains

As far as I know the only way to gain Black Essence in any way in-game is through Seals (Imperial Fishing/Imperial Trading): http://blackdesertonline.wikia.com/wiki/Seals
With those disabled how do we gain Black Essence then?

 

Continue complaining/reporting to get trade (a major aspect of the game) implemented. Still unsure why its even disabled, some claim its too overpowered? LOL find that hard to believe, the amount of PENs on the server is more powerful then retail trade system lol. Maybe its way out of wake and they cant adjust it properly yet? that would make a bit more sense and hope it gets sorted out soon as again Trading is a major part of the game mechanics.

 

Trade was not enabled yet, which is why I believe the trade sales were disabled. The prices were all wonky for that very reason. While trade will eventually be enabled, when asked when it will be, the answer is "not in the near future". Just be patient as they work through whatever needs to be fixed before hand.

 

Fair enough but if you can please take the time and read the Original Post then answer that I would be most grateful

 

As I said above, trade is not enabled, and the trade in the npc's has thus been disabled. If this makes trading the seals for the essence impossible, then it will have to wait until trade is reenabled. I have searched and have found no other way.

 

Just a small update for this thread; it is indeed possible to obtain Imperial Trade Seals by killing Thieves that roam around the world looking for Trade items, so if you put a Trade item on your horse you get them to follow you sometimes and then you just have to kill them to get those Seals so it is actually possible to get both the Seals and in extension the Black Essence then
