Introduction
Contribution points are a valuable currency in Black Desert Mobile, but how it works can be quite hard to understand. This guide looks at what Contribution is, what Contribution is used for, and ways of farming Contribution to help you get the most out of the game.
What are Contribution Points?
Essentially, Contribution is an essential form of currency in the game and can be used to rent Relics and hire and promote workers. You can see your Contribution points and level from the Wealth menu at the top of the screen.
Now we will look at what you can purchase with Contribution and why they help you out in Black Desert Mobile. You want to want as much Contribution as you can, so you spend it on other benefits.
Items and Pubs
Buying a particular item is one of the main benefits of Contribution points. Most towns will have a character you can rent Relics from – you will know this as you need to rent Relics as part of the main game quests. When you get further in the game, you will have the option to trade Relics and Contribution for other, better Relics.
For example, in South West Calpheon, you can exchange your Defense Relic and Contribution points for an Attack Relic, giving you a much better item that will help you out in the game. This is expensive in Contribution points, but it can be worth it.
Another meaningful way you can use Contribution is to buy houses and other buildings like pubs – this is where you can hire people to work for you using your points. We will look into this in more detail later in the guide.
How to farm Contribution
So, how do you gain Contribution in this game?
Below are the best methods for farming Contribution quickly and easily.
Repeatable quests
One primary way to farm Contribution is to complete repeatable quests killing 100 mobs, as they usually reward you with Contribution points. This works but takes a long time to gain Contribution, about 50 to 90 points in an hour or so. Fortunately, there is a better way to earn points faster.
This method still uses quests but in a more efficient way. To do this, find a repeatable quest to kill a low number of mobs. Even better if they are at a low level and you can kill them very quickly. This means you can earn Contribution much faster as the quest can be finished sooner, and as it is repeatable, you can keep refreshing the quest and farming. This method is excellent for farming Contribution, but it will not get you much if any experience, so when you do this, you won’t be leveling up your character. It is worth doing this for the Contribution as you the per minute Contribution rate you gain is much much better than quests killing a large number of mobs.
Main story quests
Another way to farm Contribution is by doing main story quests again on your other characters. You can trade over everything apart from weapons to your alt from your main account to level up this new account very very quickly. This can help pump up your Contribution very quickly so this is worth a go.
Amity and Contribution
This another questing style method but focuses on doing quests to gain Amity. Every settlement has NPCs that you can gain Amity with. Just look for the Amity symbol when you click on them. These quests are usually very short and revolve around speaking to another NPC. These are generally within the same town but are sometimes further away. Once you talk to the target NPC, the quest is completed, and you will earn Amity and Contribution.
This helps improve your relationship with these NPCs and can help you get rewards, but most importantly, for this guide is the fact it gives you a large number of Contribution and can be done very quickly. This makes it a more efficient method for farm Contribution than other repeatable quests killing mobs. Be sure to go to every settlement you can and speak to every NPC you see to check if they have an Amity quest for you to complete, and you will be increasing your Contribution faster than you can believe.
Using and Spending Contribution Points
As mentioned above, outside of acquiring items, you will most likely be spending your Contribution points on the pub, but it won’t be on having a drink. Contribution is used to hire workers, and rarer workers cost more Contribution as you might expect, It also costs Contribution to level up your workers.
You want to have as many villagers working for you as possible in any settlement. This will make a difference in the Trading Post and when you send them away to collect resources. They will give you better and more resources for each worker. Having a high-level village is very important in the end game, as you can use the Blacksmith and Alchemy lab to create useful items to use or to sell. Again, more workers are better.
Contribution In The Future
As the game continues to grow and new updates come out, it is crucial to get as much Contribution as you possibly can and not become content with the level you currently have. Contribution is placed to be even more critical in the future to secure the resources needed for new upgrades, which you won’t be able to keep up with if you don’t make Contribution a priority.
New objects to build can cost around 150,000 resources, so you need to get as many workers to gather resources as you can, or you won’t be able to afford these new objects. Even if you aren’t worried about new updates, it is always better to have more resources.
Be sure to complete as many Amity quests as you can in your spare time to get as much Contribution as you can for the least time and effort. Follow the hints in this guide, and you won’t have to worry about having low Contribution again.
