Stats

AP – Direct correlation to damage output.

Accuracy – Helps “land” hits on targets.

Evasion – “Miss” being hit by opponents.

DP – Damage Reduction + Evasion from armor. Think evasion you get hit less per attack (3/7 hits) then damage reduction reduces damage taken.

Builds

AP – Full ap builds have been popular since launch, AP is a linear stat(BioHack) that will increase damage output. This is normally gone for as a first build as it improves grind speeds for better silver per hour, evasion and dp builds are not needed in a majority of PvE when grinding for silver to buy PvP gear. Maehwa/Sorc work well on a full AP build and so do other classes and playstyles.
Evasion – An evasion build is a popular choice for certain assassin classes who want to counter full ap builds. Ninja/Kunos

Accuracy – A full accuracy build could be considered overkill, the working theory is that there is a threshold to what is needed for an attack to be a successful “hit”. Think of it as my base chance is 80% to hit, they stack 10 evasion lowering my chance to 70% stacking more than what is need to hit “100%” would be overkill. (this all changes with level too). I have seen some rangers go full accuracy.

DP – A full DP build concludes stacking evasion and damage reduction gear to help achieve being a full tank, good for support rolls or crowd control builds in siege. witch/berserker work well with the amount of CC and utility they have.

Hybrid – A mixture of various stats, and possibilities are only limited to the choices in gear you decide to pick. Witches and Wizards work very well on hybrid builds as their utility helps greatly in siege. Ranger/Musa also work well on an accuracy+evasion hybrid build.

Main Hands

Yuria: Use to be the best choice back at launch due to limited availability of livertos and kzarkas. It mostly sells due to bad judgment and/or old guides that still recommend this option. (Do not enchant your own Yuria)

Rosar: Pretty much the new choice if you are just getting into the game as you most likely won’t have the funds or resources to enchant a rarer item like liverto or kzarka. The reason this item is taken over yuria now is due to it’s base AP being 1 higher and having an extra gem slot(which we will get to later). It is also theorized that Rosar offers a higher base accuracy than that of yuria. If Rosar is sold out Krea is another popular choice.

Liverto: Is 2nd only to kzarka, it shares the same base AP and 2 gem slots. It’s biggest difference is having 5 less accuracy and being +3 crit to your characters stats for gemming options.

Kzarka: The top dog for competitive PvP. It offers higher base accuracy of 5% of liverto which can be the difference to finishing off your opponent or having them live. This option offers +3 Attack speed compare to the +3 Critical as well.

Kaia Weapon: Is a weapon that can be rented in Calpheon for CP that can be used while gearing up – Link

Awakening Weapon

While the list is small there are some variations as well as optimal choices.

Green: This primarily the first choice as a new player or a poorer player. It is cheap to repair when enchanting. This being said this version should never be taken past TRI level as thus Dandelion becomes the clear choice. It’s base stats are as such; 11-20 AAP +7 All Species Damage.
Blue/Yellow: This awakening weapon is only utilized primarily for PvP as it is 1 enchantment level behind in terms of AAP of the sought after Dandelion. Base stats are as such; 16-25 AAP +7 Human Damage. Wait to make this ultimate, only Ult it at the max level you are going to level it too(TET) because of repair costs.

Dandelion: It is best in slot for PvE and PvP, being 1 enchantment level in terms of AAP above the Blue version it puts it holder in another tier in terms of damage. Base stats are as such; 18-27 AAP. See image below for enchanted level differences.

Offhands

Now certain offhands have different names for certain classes but have similar stats I will talk about the main ones most players use for a variety of mid to end game builds in the current meta.

(I will use daggers as an example)

Parry Dagger(DEF): This dagger is used in more evasive/defensive builds as it offer the highest amount of evasion of any of these 4 choices. It’s base stats at Ultimate(Gold) are as such; 3AP 4DP +3 evasion +100hp +1 DMG Reduction +1 Special Attack (Back/Down/Air).

Rosar Dagger(DEF): This dagger is also used in evasive/defensive builds.  It’s base stats at Ultimate(Gold) are as such; 1-4AP 6DP +1 Special Attack (Back/Down/Air) and 2 Gem Slots.

Steel Dagger(ATT): This is the Full AP offhand, it’s for those that want to smash face, mostly for those who want to do “big damage on my ping”(Mad King Lacari 2016). Base stats at Ultimate(Gold) are as such; 7AP +1 Special Attack (Back/Down/Air).
Kutum Dagger(MIX): This offhand is the Middle Ground between AP and DP. This is one of the best PvE offhand and offers great survivability just beneath the parry offhand while having attack power just below the AP is king choices. Kutum offers 2 Gem slots compared to the Parry and Steel which only offer 1 Gem Slot. Base Stats are as such; 4-6 AP 4DP Ignore All Resistance +10% (hidden accuracy and monster dmg included). [Highly Useful in Kamasilve]

Nouver Dagger(ATT): This is the “NA AP” is king offhand. Not to much to this choice other than being the highest AP offhand currently in the game. It’s base stats are as such; 6-8AP and +All Resistance 10% and 2 Gem Slots.

Saiyer/Vangertz(MIX): Some classes have access to an offhand that offers accuracy and evasion, this is highly utilized in competitive play. This offers 1 Gem slots, Base stats are 1-3 AP, 4 DP, 5 Accuracy, 2 Evasion, 2 Damage Reduction.

Nouver vs Kutum(PvP): Nouver is typically used till about 220-230 AP in PvP. Then it makes sense to use Kutum for extra DP in the current meta. This will change as AP and DP keeps increasing. You want your AP roughly within 50-60 of your opponents DP.

Armor Choices

This probably ones of the most cookie cutter parts of end game PvP. Right now in the current meta Boss gear seems to trump almost all other choices as some of the pieces offer bonus stats unparallel to non boss gear. This does not mean that you can’t beat a player in full boss gear with something less. It just means that if you want to min max boss gear is the best choice.

The 3 current “Meta” Choices for end game PvP

Rocaba – An evasion set my default and the newest set of default gear added to the game with valencia. It may be  harder to find on the market place as most people do not grind valencia or do just to acquire these pieces and end game accessories.
Heve – This set is a great choice for any new player as it breaks apart easily when you acquire boss gear pieces and gives +HP as it’s set bonus.
Boss Gear – Not much to say here, it’s the OMG I did it pieces. Items like Bheg’s and Muskan’s just make this set so much better than any other pieces of gear. It includes extra set bonuses such as MP/WP,Stamina, and Attack/Cast Speed.

Bheg’s – The first pieces of gear towards end game PvP on each enchantment to +15 it gives +accuracy %. At +15 the gloves give roughly +10% accuracy and acts as the counter to Muskan’s.

Muskan’s – The second piece to strive for, like it’s counterpart it gives +evasion % to +15 as you can see in it’s higher base stat in DP than other armor choices(remember DP is Evasion+DMG Reduction). At +15 it gives roughly +7% more evasion than any other piece.

Urugon’s – This piece is an alternative to Muskan’s. Urugon’s is slated with +1 Movement Speed, and an enhancement increase to damage reduction compared to evasion. Depending on the build you want either muskan or urugon could be argued. I personally think these damage reduction pieces will be more beneficial on an evasion class (striker/mystic).

Dim Tree’s – +200 HP and higher DP than other armors make it a no brainer as the 3rd piece to achieve. This higher DP is theorized to be mostly evasion.

Giath’s – +100 HP and less DP(than non boss), make this the last piece to achieve if you are looking at  reaching the 4 set bonus. Has the same evasion compared to Griffon’s but sacrifices damage reduction and all res for the +100 HP. Depending on build Griffon’s may make more sense for some builds.

Griffon’s – The alternative to Giath’s if you honestly get one over the other I would enhance either. Though Griffon’s offers +5% all Res and +3 Dmg Reduction compared to Giath’s +100hp.

Lemoria – This is a new set of armor introduced with Kamasilve. It pairs with Liverto nicely to make a mid tier level set. I honestly wouldn’t suggest this to anyone who wants to be in the “top”. Though anyone looking to play this game a bit more casually this maybe the perfect set. This is due to the set bonus cutting back on Gem requirements as well as being easier to repair while enhancing. Set Bonus is; 3 Piece- +1 Crit / +1 MS, 4 Piece – +10% Skill XP, 5 Piece – +2 AttSpd/CastSpd.

Red Nose Armor should be only taken to complete a 4 set bonus if you happen to get the other 3 pieces and still cannot acquire Dim Tree’s Armor.

Some people use a mix of Boss Gear and Heve armor as boss gear can be costly to enchant and sometimes isn’t a great use of resources early on into your BDO career(I say career cause this game will take over your life). Muskan+Bheg and 2 pieces Heve is quite common on classes that don’t benefit from +stamina. Another popular choice is utilizing Muskan and Dim Tree and 2 piece rocaba for a Evasion/Hybrid build on classes with high base accuracy, (witch/wiz/ninja/kuno)[though ninja and kuno may have accuracy issues].

Due note grunil is still a great set for those that may have limited game time and want to focus resources elsewhere. Never hesitate to ask other players for their thoughts. Myself included my discord tag is Silver#2473

Accessories

his is where the game opens up and really becomes about play style and countering certain classes. As a maehwa myself with my primary targets being witches and wizards in the opponent’s backline, I try to build to counter my opponent. This helps me decide on certain styles of gear to achieve my goal of “big damage on my ping” (Mad King Lacari 2016).

Please remember these are not the only choices but are the most common choices  for the few builds I will illustrate.

***Sidenote: There are plenty of catchup mechanics added in terms of jewelry implemented every major patch. The list below is to give some background on why the following choices are picked. Make your own conclusions, and enjoy PvP!

***DataMine: The recent datamine shows use that enhancement level on blue and yellow accessories gives a form of hidden accuracy. About 2 points per level.

Rings: Probably the cheapest of all accessories to gear first in a silver/ap analysis (silver/ap is where you spend the cheapest amount of silver for the highest AP gain or stat gain you’re looking for). A few choices that are common are as such;

Red Coral Ring: Cheapest of all of these and typically what you will go for first. It offers AP and Dmg Reduction (no rings give evasion at this time). This is great choice till late game and some classes still use this for a hybrid build.

Mark of Shadow: The cheapest of the AP rings and translates well to mid and endgame PvP(this ring should never be enchanted past TRI).

Cadry Ring: This ring is the Dmg reduction ring, as a full DP ring, it is great for hybrid and DP builds. Though is used less than all of the 4 rings listed here.

Crescent Ring: The most expensive ring choice and typically not used until TRI as you probably have Mark of Shadows at this point. At the same enchant level it offers more AP than it’s counterpart.

Earrings: Earrings can be expensive but offer extra stats in some of the choices.

Blue Coral: The cheapest of the AP choices and typically your first choice as a newer player.

Red Coral: This earring gives the lowest AP but offers nice bonus stats like Stamina and Accuracy and is very popular to atleast have 1 in the current meta.

Witch Earring: Probably one of the worst earrings in terms of Silver/AP though great AP and always a nice pick up if you can buy it already enchanted.

Whale Earring/Khalks Earring: These earrings use to be locked behind hunting though with monthly events they fluctuate between 15 mil and 40+ mil and offer bonus stats like +HP(whale) and +stamina +wp (Khalk). Most people skip these early on and are a min max thing.

Manos Earring: While there are 3 versions typically most classes pick Ruby, which is +50 HP, Sapphire is MP/SP and Topaz is stamina. These earrings include 5 evasion and give +dmg reduction for the remaining total of the DP. These are Best in slot for defensive earrings for hybrid/evasion/dp builds.

Tungrade Earring: The top dog in terms of AP, and offers a bonus stat of +10% Black Spirit Rage. This is very endgame and is very expensive, it’s value doesn’t show up until it is DUO/TRI+.

Belts: Only a few choices here and typically focused on after rings and earrings.

Shultz: Typically the first AP belt most people will go for as it has good Silver/AP ratio and can last you at DUO/TRI till late in the game.

Tree Spirit: A mix between AP and Accuracy, very good late game choice for a few builds.
Centaur: A full evasion belt with +HP as well, great choice for evasion/hybrid/DP builds

Basilisk: Was the top AP belt, not much more to say than it’s a bit expensive, typically only worth at DUO/TRI in terms of Silver/AP.

Tungrade:  This belt is the new top dog of AP Belts. It starts off at a higher base level as well as having +20% Black Spirit Rage.

Necklace: Normally gone for last as Silver/AP ratios are typically higher.

Shultz: Typically the first AP necklace most people will go for as it has good Silver/AP ratio and can last you at DUO/TRI till late in the game.

Serap’s: Second best AP necklace and is great at DUO and TRI then loses ground in terms of Silver/AP to Ogre Ring(which is a necklace).

Ogre Ring: The Best in terms of AP necklaces, now I know Tungrade has Black Spirit Rage as well, but in terms of availability, I don’t think a tri has even been made.

Sicil’s Necklace: A good Mix Between AP and full evasion DP, great for Hybrid/DP/Evasion builds.

What to upgrade/enhance

This is really going to all depend on how you feel in game. Are you a wet noodle? Or are you being 2 shotted by everyone? Typically once you’ve reached First Full AP example below would would want to start saving money for boss gear pieces. It is normal to want to work on weapons first before armor. That being said always be attempting for dandelion as it is one of the most difficult items to acquire in the game. After Dandelion, Kzarka next as it’s accuracy is major in PvP, then just try and get your hands on any of the remaining items as they can be difficult to acquire. Do not let up acquiring one to wait for another, it is all progression to the end goal.

1. Dandelion
2. Kzarka
3. Bheg’s
4. Muskan’s / Urugon’s
5. Rest Boss
6. Accessories

Example Builds

I used a witch here to show the gear, in no means are all of these builds viable on a witch. Honestly no one will level to end game builds seamlessly, it is all about small steps to an end goal.

First Full AP

Great for grinding while saving money for other builds or just getting into node wars. This also is fine to complete most of the current game even valencia questline.

Due note at this point you then should make decisions on whether boss gear is in your foresight and what type of build you are looking for based on the information above.

Endgame Full AP – Soft Cap

Very few people are past  this point of the game, though others are striving for this goal.

Hybrid Build 1

Hybrid Build 2

Evasion Stacked

Popular amongst those with high base accuracy and dmg modifiers in skills. Wizard, primarily. (some use a parry dagger over kutum)

Accuracy Stacked

Not used much in the current meta, except by a few players. Some will sub an accuracy offhand like bronze dagger.

Accuracy + Evasion Hybrid

Common in assassin style classes – Ninja/Kuno/Musa/Ranger

DP Stacked

Utilized by players who like to play frontliners in siege. Warrior/Beserker/Valk, Witches may also run Utility builds.

Thank you all for viewing this and feel free to share this with anyone, and remember that this guide is not meant to be the end all guide to what gear you should get but more or less a guide on how to look at gear.

1. https://bdoplanner.com/AreaMerchantMemorial

Your first goal is to make sure you get a rosar, yuria, or elsh axe, as you will be using that until you are at the point to where you can get and start upgrading boss gear.  The reason why the armor setup is the way it is is for the set bonuses. Essentially you want to either go full grunil or full heve.

Everything else is pretty straight forward.  Your main goal for accessories is full asula and for your offhand, you’re going to want to get an oros as soon as possible for grinding purposes.

2. https://bdoplanner.com/SilfiadBalacsGlutoni

In this case, everything is the same from the last build.  Only thing you need to focus on at this point is to get all of your armor and weapons to atleast duo.

3. https://bdoplanner.com/PickaxeScurvyFreharau

At this point, for the extra sheet stats you have the option to turn your gear into yellow quality via Ultimate Weapon Reform Stone and Ultimate Armor Reform Stone.  You don’t have to, but if you want the extra on-sheet stats without gambling your blackstones away, echanting your armor and weapons from green to yellow is guaranteed.

As for the accessories, when you’re at the point where all of your weapons and armor are duo, you will want to swap out your asula set for duo+ blue accessories.  ANY AP only blue accessories will work. You are not limited to the build you see above, though it’s recommended if you don’t have the slightest idea of what to go for. Also if you’re wondering what the yellow grade earring is, it is the earring you can get for completing the Kamasylvia questline.  If you do not want to do this, then just try to make another duo blue.

4. https://bdoplanner.com/DelphadBoaBarhans

If you are not at this point yet, your end-goal for this build is to get everything you have to TRI;  even your accessories. Do NOT try to TET any of your weapons or armor, as it is a waste of resources and will be swapped out very soon anyway.

(the Ring of Power is from completing the Valencia questline)

5. https://bdoplanner.com/PatienceGlaivesTotem

With full TRI, your next goal is to try and get your hand on any kind of bossgear possible with the exception of a few which will be covered in a moment.  The RECOMMENDED piece you should be getting first is a TRI kzarka. With the huge accuracy increase, this will be your biggest powerboost.

Now even though you should be getting a TRI kzarka as soon as possible, this doesn’t mean you should try and get other boss pieces as well.  The only boss gear you should NOT be aiming for is muskans, leebur, and rednose. Muskans and leebur because those are evasion based boss armors, and zerk having the lowest base evasion in the game, those will be utterly useless on him.  Rednose because it literally costs the same as dim tree armor, but has no HP bonus. So you might as well go for dim tree armor unless for whatever reason you don’t want the extra HP for the same price.

Now that you have your TRI kzarka, your next focus will be getting a dandelion iron buster and working towards getting the rest of your bossgear.  You will want to go for what ever you can get your hands on while keeping in mind what was stated in the last build example. Though ideally, if you want an order in which you should get them, it is as follows: kzarka > dande > bhegs > urugons or dim tree armor(doesn’t really matter) > griffon/giath.  

The following few builds will be displaying that.  Now KEEP IN MIND griffon and giath are very similar in performance.  Just go with whatever you get first for now.

Side Note: While you’re in the process of getting full TRI bossgear, it is recommended that you try and push for lvl61, as it will you a capotia ring as a reward which is the equivilent to a TRI crescent ring.  So that could have been quite a bit of silver you just saved by hitting it.

Wow! Look at that.  Full TRI bossgear ez.  Now what’s next?

So by now you will want to start working on getting better accessories(making them TRI), and if you have the silver, buy or enchant a nouver.  For accessories you just want to go with the cheapest upgrade and work your way up. By the end, you should have full TRI blue accessoires.

10. https://bdoplanner.com/ScarlaRhuaEmerald

11. https://bdoplanner.com/LaziesLeeburWaker

Now here’s where the real grind begins.  Now that you have full TRI bossgear, weapons and blue accessories, it’s time to go for TET and try to hit softcap.  The worst thing you can do at this point is roulette your gear. Not only do you lose most of the progress you worked for,  you have to make those gains again, and on top of that try and go for TET again which is going to cost more resourses than if you just tried to enchant one piece at a time.

IDEALLY you want to TET in this order: kzarka > dande > nouver > bhegs > urugons or tree > griffon/giath. The “best” way to hit softcap is to work on your armor and weapons while working on your accessories at the same time.  The remaining build examples will be showing the progression that was described.

14. https://bdoplanner.com/NertDighDot

Side Note: If you have the money and you want to go for a BiS belt, you can try to enchant a TRI tungrad belt.

15. https://bdoplanner.com/CultureOrosIllezras

16. https://bdoplanner.com/DreamingMedicZebra

17. https://bdoplanner.com/HystriaCelestialVenia

Side Note:  If you have the money and you want to go for a BiS necklace, you can try to enchant a TRI tungrad necklace.  Also something to point out, you can either go for a laytenn or an ogre. They both have the same stats.

18. https://bdoplanner.com/TunyPracticeFlame

Side Note: for earrings you can either go for a TET witch’s or a TRI tungrad.  They both have the same sheet stats. The only difference is that the tungrad has BSR and TET witch’s has 2 more accuracy.

19. https://bdoplanner.com/HorseLonghairedChaser

Congrats.  You are now at what we call “soft-cap”.  Now that you completed the tutorial, you can now actually start playing the game.

Progressing Past Soft Cap In BDO

20. https://bdoplanner.com/KingLeraoLumber

At the point of softcap, people usually go down 2 paths.  They either try to go for PEN attempts, or they go for the safer route and try to achieve full yellow TET accessories.  

Unless you’re RNG carried, going for TET accessories is the recommended route given that at 100 failstacks, you have around a 27% chance of succeeding on a TET accessorie as oppose to having a 3% chance of succeeding PEN at the same amount of failstacks.

Now with that said, you can go about choosing which accessorie to try for TET in two ways: either you go for the cheapest upgrade, that being your crescent ring, and then work your way up.  Or you go for the biggest gain if you don’t happen to have any silver issues; and that would be your ogre ring. In the build above, the cost efficient path was chosen.

Side Note: If you happen to have cron stones available and you have a pretty high fs, it doesn’t hurt to try for a PEN using them. If you have no idea of what you should try to PEn first, your dandelion is usually the goto.

21. https://bdoplanner.com/BeeTopSanguine

For earrings you have a few choices to make.  You can either go the full ap way and try to TET your tungrad earring, or you can try to enchant TET narc earrings, which will give you the same AP as a TRI tungrad earring but will also provide you with +4 sheet DP along with 4 DR for a little extra tankiness. In the example above, the tungrad path was chosen.

22.  https://bdoplanner.com/DownPhnylVedir

At this point you most likely won’t need a guide as to what to go for next since at this point, there’s not really a suggested route to go for when choosing which piece to PEN first.  You could either do weapons or armor first. Either way, you still hit like a truck.

In this Black Desert online guide, we’re going to go over some general tips about progressing your worker Empire and then take a city-by-city look at the best nodes across the game.

If you’re looking for a node guide to building your worker empire as a beginner, be sure to read the Node Guide For Beginners.

Hiring Workers

For hiring workers, the first thing you should do is fill up empty character slots that you have on your account. Since each of these characters has their energy pool but they will regenerate passively, even when the characters are not online. You can then use these energy pools every few days to hire more workers there are five tiers of workers that you may encounter when you talk to the worker supervisor NPC.

Never hire the naive workers even if you are brand new to the game, they’re just a waste of lodging since you can’t promote them. I would personally recommend only hiring Blue(Skilled) workers, Yellow Workers(Professional) or Orange(Artisan) Workers. Promote Workers of all types until you progressed beyond needing them and of course, hire yellow and orange workers of all types whenever you get the chance. Orange workers are pretty rare and will only show up every two or three thousand energy spent so even if you were at the point decked out with you’ll still want to hire yellow workers just to level them up.

Promoting Workers

Promotions are more likely to succeed on a higher level but leveling all the way to thirty usually takes too long a good balance is to level a worker to 20. Then do the promotions back to back. You should aim to always have a worker taking the promotion test somewhere 24/7 as this is will be the biggest bottleneck towards your worker empire.

Managing Workers In BDO

You recover the workers’ stamina points with food such as beer or chicken. You can cancel the current workers’ task by clicking the red x button. You can repeat the task by clicking the repeat task button. To start a promotion test you can click the two arrows pointing up, the number displayed is the promotion tests you have left for that worker. Use the recover all to recover all your workers with beer. Then you usually want to click the repeat all button after you have recovered the workers, so you repeat all the actions that they have previously done. If you would like to fire a worker, click a worker so it’s ticked on the left side and then press the fire selected button.

You can manage the workers by clicking the button with the pickaxe:

Or if you’re in your map you can click the little pickaxe in the bottom right corner:

Buying Workers From Other Players

Sometimes it could be worth it to check you worker Exchange here if you can find workers that are low-level they are very cheap so these are really good deal workers that are maxed out at level 30 can be a bit more expensive. You just going to have to decide for yourself if it’s worth paying a tax and if you don’t have a worker that is currently being promoted sometimes you can find yellow or blue workers on here that still have promotions left, it’s pretty rare. The worker exchange is global by workers in every city, not just the city you’re in.

Best Type Of Worker To Hire

Now, in the long run, the Artisan human is by default going to be the best worker on most nodes, however, Artisan Goblins tend to be better on nodes with 1500 distance or more.

So if you click on a node without sending a worker there and you could check the workload and distance over here if you want to learn more about what these stats mean then I recommend checking a more advanced guide. if you get a good grasp of the ideas in of the stats you won’t ever need another node guide for me or ever again even when new content is added in there are some other exceptions with goblins. If you’re someone who goes for periods of time, like 8 hours or more, you might find yourself in this in a situation where giants are the best.

Or if you simply don’t want to feed your workers that often, you can go with a giant/human combo empire. You want to know kind of the ins and outs fit your playstyle and your schedule and plan accordingly.

How To Use This Guide

For the rest of the guide, we are going to take a town by town look at which nodes are a high medium and low priority. Instead of trying to max out a particular town all at once you should focus on getting the high-priority nodes across every town as soon as you. Then once you get into like a 150 to 250 CP range you can come I got all those you can use your remaining points usually for people in the 250 to 350 range to take the low priority nodes.

It’s impossible to take every node in the game even with 400 contribution, don’t follow these numbers to strictly they’re going to vary a lot from person to person, depending on what else you’re doing with your contribution. Just use them as a general guideline and unless otherwise stated you can always just sell the materials to get from these nodes.

If not in if you’re just wondering in a why we take a node or not, the answer by default is going to be too because you can sell it on the market for a lot of money. There’s a lot of factors that go into this based materials that you know the way yield, so all of that stuff is being accounted for when we decide the prioritization.

How To Unlock Excavation Nodes

If you can’t see these nodes, which is true for any excavation nodes in the game, the way you unlock these is like going to the node manager you invest in the area node first. Then that will give you a dialogue with the NPC where you can talk to them again and spend 30 or 35 energy, by talking to the node manager. Talk to them again, spend energy and then that will show you the shovel node and it’ll be unlocked.

Best Nodes In Velia

We start off by talking about Velia. Velia is going to be a bit more complicated than the other cities due to how many you’re going to get your lodging in Velia in the middle of town right here pick all these up as soon as you can because there are a lot of higher priority nodes around Velia.

And then you can also get two lodging at toscani farm:

So since lodging is so limited this is going to depend on if you have cash shop lodging.

High priority Nodes for Velia:

Iron and copper at Coastal Cave

Arrow mushroom node at forest of plunder

Ash Timber Node at Ehwaz Hill

Fortune Teller at Ehwaz Hill

High priority If Cooking:

Potato and chicken node at Finto Farm

Potato and chicken node at Bartali Farm

Potato at Loggia Farm

Corn Nodes at Toscani Farm

Medium Priority If Not Cooking:

Copper Ore at Goblin Cave

Ash Timber at Goblin Cave

Maple Timber at Forest Of Seclusion

Copper Ore at Forest Of Seclusion

Low Priority If Not Cooking:

Sunrise Herbat Balenos Forest

Ash Timber at Balenos Forest

Excavation node at Ancient Stone Chamber if you’re doing alchemy

The best nodes around Velia are the Iron and copper ores at the coastal cave, Arrow mushroom node at Forest of plunder and the ash timber node at Ehwaz Hill. There’s also a fortune teller mushroom know at Ehwaz Hills that you can consider high priority, but only if you’re skipping the cooking nodes.

Let’s go over the cooking nodes. You should be taking the potato and chicken meat nodes at Finto Farm, it’s actually the eggs that you’re after here the chicken meat isn’t very important. Potato and chicken meat at Bartali Farm, two corns at Toscani farm. All of these are going to be a high priority for someone who is cooking.

But if you’re not interested in doing the cooking you can skip these no so high priority if you’re doing the cooking. If you’re not cooking you can also take Goblin cave as a medium priority both the copper and Ash and you can take Balenos forest ash timber and sunrise herb as a low priority.

In Ancient stone chamber, if you’re someone who needs the Trace of Earth if you’re not doing alchemy you can probably skip this altogether.

Forest of seclusion is a medium priority only if you’re taking cooking nodes and you might have the cooking nodes but also the forest of seclusion if you want to send Olvia workers to the Forest of seclusion.

Best Nodes in Olvia

In Olvia the best lodging is 6-1, 6-2 and 6-3:

High Priority Olvia Nodes:

Iron and Mushroom Node at Coastal Cliff

Medium Priority Olvia Nodes:

Grape Node at Costa Farm

Low Priority Olvia Nodes:

Ash Timber Node at Wolf Hills

Copper Nodes at Imp Cave

I’m skipping some of the low priority nodes in Olvia. There’s a medium priority grape node at costa farm and then a high priority iron and mushroom node at the Coastal Cliff. Once you coastal cliff it links you to Coastal Cave and that’s what allows me to send my Olvia workers all the way down to the Forest of seclusion.

Best Nodes in Heidel

In Heidel, the best lodging you can get is the 8-1 tree, with room 1, 2, 3 and 4. You don’t need to get all of these at once, just get it as you need it.

High Priority Heidel Nodes:

Excavation Node at Lynch Farm Ruins

Cooking Honey Node at Alejandro Farm

Flax Nodes at Moretti Plantation

Flax Nodes at Costa Farm

Medium Priority Heidel Nodes:

Pumpkin Node at Alejandro Farm

Maple Timber at Northern Plain of Serendia

Fleece Node at Lynch Ranch

Pumpkin Node at Costa Farm

Wheat Node at Costa Farm

Maple Timber at Castle Ruins

Low Priority Heidel Nodes:

Silver Azela at Lynch Farm Ruins

Silver Azela at Northern Plain of Serendia

Flax node at Kamasylve Temple

So the trace of savagery is a material that if you’re just taking it and selling it it’s not going to give you a whole lot of silver every day. But if you’re stockpiling it for crafting and a future it’s going to be very worthwhile even if you’re not doing a lot of crafting right now. If you ever get into crafting it’s very worthwhile and it’s on the way to stuff that we’re taking anyways so pick this up as a high-priority node either way. Then next to it the silver Azalea node which is a low priority node.

After that we have a high priority cooking honey at Alejandro Farm. Then there’s a medium priority pumpkin node.

To the West we have a medium priority Maple node and Northern plain of serendia and a low priority Silver azalea.

Then there’s the fleece node in lynch ranch. This is the only fleece node in the game, which makes it a medium priority.

South of Heidel we have some high-priority flax knows one of them’s Costa Farm and then there’s also at Moretti Plantation. Pick the wheat nodes since we’re in the area anyways getting flax we might as well pick up the wheat, even if you’re not cooking.

If you are cooking then obviously the wheat is a high priority if you’re not cooking then just pick it up after you pick the flax.

In Eastern Gateway and get a medium priority Maple node and that paves the way to get a low priority flax node out in Kamasylve Temple.

Best Nodes in Glish

Lodging in Glish is straightforward, just take them all, start in the bottom left corner. Lodging in Glish is pretty straightforward, there are not that many buildings.

High Priority Glish Nodes

Iron Ore at Southern Cienaga

Cloud Mushroom at Southern Cienaga

Medium Priority Glish Nodes

Lead Ore at Glish Swamp

Cloud Mushroom at Glish Swamp

Low Priority Glish Nodes

Pine Node at Serendia Shrine

Best Nodes in Keplan

The best Lodging in Keplan is 3-1:

High Priority Keplan Nodes

Coal at Keplan Quarry

Cedar Timber at Oze Pass

Low Priority Keplan Nodes

Lead Ore at Primal Giant Post

Iron Ore at Hexe Stone Wall

Pine Timber at Marie Cave

There’s a very high priority coal node that you’re going to take as soon as possible. At Kaplan that’s you get the lodging here at 3-1 if you need it if you have grabbed that lodging in intake there’s another now if you do have cash up lodging. If you have cash shop lodging you can get to Primal giant post and Marie cave. That’s all of these like I said if you have cash up lodging it’s a pretty expensive connection so you can take this as a low priority.

Best Lodging in Calpheon City

Calpheon City the best lodging is going to be down here in the bottom left corner tucked away:

And then if you still need extra lodging then just take the ones that cost one CP and offers lodging.

High Priority Calpheon Nodes

Barley at Northern Wheat Plantation

Wheat at Northern Wheat Plantation

Paprika at Northern Wheat Plantation

Birch Node at Old Dandelion

Medium Priority Calpheon Nodes

Tin Node at Khuruto Cave

Excavation Node at Bernianto Farm

Birch Timber at Bree Tree Ruins

Tiger Mushroom at Bree Tree Ruins

Fir Timber at Phoeniels Cabin

Tin Ore at Behr Riverhead

Low Priority Calpheon Nodes

Birch Timber at Quint Hill

Lead ore at Quint Hill

The higher priority nodes out of Calpheon or going to be Northern Wheat Plantation even if you’re not doing cooking they are still worth grabbing these. Even if you’re not doing for cooking and you can just sell the materials to the marketplace.

In old dandelion, we have a birch node going to be a high priority. Khuruto cave tin ore medium priority. Berniato farm has traces here that we can get from excavation node. Similar to the if you’re just getting traces for the sake of selling them to the market it’s not that exciting but you might want to grab this and just stockpile the materials. Since this is a cheap node that we can get because it’s on the other nodes we’re taking anyway itself is a medium priority.

There’s a low priority connection that you can do to Quint hill which has lead ore and birch timber. Then some more medium priority nodes south of Calpheon, connect over the mountain to Phoeniels Cabin which gives fir timber and Behr Riverhead which gives tin ore and it also gives powder of Earth. Powder of Earth which is useful for cooking clothes so keep that in mind. Fir Timber is also highly valued for processing. If you are just selling the stuff to the market than medium priority is fine but if you’re actually doing a lot of processing then you should pick this node because it’s worth more than they sell for on the marketplace.

Best Nodes in Port Epheria

High Priority Port Epheria Nodes

Fishing Drying Yard 1 at Randis Island

Medium Priority Port Epheria Nodes

Fish Drying Yard at Serca Island

Fish Drying Yard at Baeza Island

Fish Drying Yard at Albresser Island

If you plan on doing cooking then you should use your free worker slot in Epheria to at least grab the fish node at Randis Island. I like this one over here that has the dried octopus since dried octopus has the only ingredient out in these fish knows that counts as Seafood.

When you’re cooking there’s two different categories of regular fish and seafood and fried octopus and it’s only the one that going to count for the second category. So you can grab that if you don’t care as much about the seafood you can get the one at Secra Island since its closer to town and just get yourself some more fish instead, for fried fish, good feed etc.

After that if you feel like you need more you can get cash shop lodging for Epheria. So you can either grab that where you could buy some extra points of lodging for one CP each.

I just picked the ones with the dried octopus. They don’t give a ton, but I figured overtime it adds overtime and then I can use them for seafood recipes. So I can’t tell really how to prioritize these as it all depends on how much you’re cooking and what you’re doing.

Best Nodes in Trent

The best lodging in Trent is in Behr 1-2:

High Priority Trent Nodes

Cedar Timber at Lumberjack’s Rest Area

Medium Priority Trent Nodes

Fir Timber at Treant Forest

Fir Timber at Mansha Forest

Tin Ore at Rhutum Outstation

Low Priority Port Trent Nodes

Silk Honey Grass at Longleaf Tree Sentry Post

Cedar Timber at Longleaf Tree Forest

Trent has a very high priority Cedar node over at Lumberjacks rest area.

And then after that, you’re going to come over here and get some lodging from Behr you can get bear 1 and 2 is going to be three contribution points, you can then take these two workers. You can then take the two workers and put them on the tree nodes at Treant Forest fir Timber and Mansha Forest Fir Timber node as a medium priority. Possibly a higher priority if you’re someone who does a lot of AFK processing now if you don’t have cash shop lodging that’s going to be it for Trent.

If you do have cash up lodging then you can also expand over to Rhutum outstation.

Best Nodes in Kamasylvia

Medium Priority Kamasylvia/Old Wisdom Tree Nodes

Moss Tree Timber at Shady Tree Forest

Noc Ore at Lake Flondor

Low Priority Kamasylvia Nodes

Noc Ore at Southern Kamasylvia

Pink Mushroom/Blue Mushroom at Polly’s Forest

The worker setup in kamasylvia is going to vary a bit depending on whether or not you have workers in the region doing crates. Even if you’re not doing crates the nodes around here aren’t very exciting.

Theoretically you’ll have one free slot in Old Wisdom Tree and one free slot and Grana. If you want to try and take this Moss Timber node at Old Wisdom Tree you can give it a shot but there’s a chance that it won’t even sell if you can get it to sell it’s probably a medium priority.

Same thing over here at Grana you can use your free workers slot at Grana at Lake Flandor at medium medium priority, its not a bad node, it also gives you powder of Earth. But again it just depends on if the Noc Ore actually sell.

If you do have cash up lodging you can expand a bit more in Grana a bit more; there’s another Noc Ore down here in Southern Kamasylvia, it doesn’t come with the Powder of Earth.

In Polly’s Forest there’s a mushroom node, the pink mushrooms here won’t sell but the blue mushrooms might.

Best Nodes in Tarif

The best lodging in Tarif is in Shuri Farm 1 and 2:

Medium Priority Tarif Nodes

Zinc Node at Omar Lava Cave

Coal Ore at Omar Lava Cave

Acacia Timber at Stonetail Wasteland

Cotton Node at Kasula Farm

Low Priority Tarif Nodes

Sweet Potato at Shuri Farm

Trace of Earth at Ancient Ruins Excavation Site

Moving over to the Mediah region. Don’t take any of the lodging in Tarif, it’s not very efficient. If you need extra workers lots for Tarif, instead invest in the lodging up at Shuri Farm.

Now when it comes to tariff nodes there’s three medium priority knows that we’re after here. There are a Coal and Zinc and Omar lava cave and The Acacia Timber up at Stonetail Wasteland and most of the value from these nodes comes from their processing values.

Best Nodes in Altinova

The best lodging in Altinova is going to start at 6-1 and then you can just work your way through the middle tree:

Low Priority Altinova Nodes

Iron Ore at Abandoned Iron Mine

Zinc Ore at Abandoned Iron Mine

Elder Timber at Veteran’s Canyon

Elder Timber at Gorgo Rock Belt

Purified Water and Bag Of Muddy Water at Kundid Vacation Spot

There aren’t any functional nodes around Altinova; there are iron and zinc down at abandoned Iron Mine. These nodes get rough black Crystal, but nowadays you can usually get these in the marketplace. There’s a zinc node down here. I think it is an excellent material to have for processing, but the workload for this node is too high.

Then there are a couple more low-priority nodes on the east side of Altinova. There are two Elder Timber nodes at Veteran’s Canyon and Gorgo Rock Belt. You can sell Elder Timber to the marketplace for a good price but it’s still a very expensive connection. If you do decide to grab these, however, make sure you also grab Kundids Vacation Spot for the Purified Water and Bag of Muddy Water.

Best Nodes in Sand Grain Bazaar

Medium Priority Sand Grain Bazaar Nodes

Copper Ore at Capotia

Nutmeg Node at Bazaar Farmland

Low Priority Sand Grain Bazaar Nodes

2 Iron Nodes at Crescent Mountains

Date Palm at Crescent Shrine

Titanium Ore at Crescent Shrine

At sand grain bazaar you have a copper node over at Capotia and a nutmeg node at Bazaar Farmland. These are either going to be a medium priority or low priority depending on the workload now I’m not going to explain workload in depth here.

Just go to the top right corner of the map and click on territory resource information, that’ll open up a green bar right here and you and look at the green one to the left. If it’s bar is close to the top like 95% or higher than take those two nodes as a medium priority if it’s below 95% like it is now then you can wait till later to take him so low priority. They’re not nearly as good when the workloads are low.

After you grab these you can work your way down to Crescent Mountain these are also low priority is to iron nodes that also gives rough black crystal and then over a crescent Shrine there’s a low priority date palm node and a very low priority titanium node Titanium. Titanium ore unfortunately even though it’s a high-value material the yield on the titanium nodes out of Valencia is very low so don’t worry about this until you’re done tell with everything else.

Best Nodes in Shakatu

High Priority Shakatu Nodes

Star Anise at Shakatu Farmlands

Fig at Shakatu Farmlands

Shakatu has some interesting nodes, because of how close these nodes are the town they can be very good at just depends on a couple of things.

There’s Star Anise in Shakatu farmland. if you can actually sell Star Anise on the market that this is a high priority. It usually takes a few days for star anise to sell on the marketplace, the problem is sometimes its difficult to sell. If you actually can sell the stuff and it doesn’t take too long or if you just don’t mind having it sit on the market then you should take this as a high priority.

The other two nodes at Shakatu Farmland, the figs are similar to Sand grain bazaar the priority of these is going to be based off the workload in the area so again will back out will come right now and the bar for fig is all the way up to the top. If this is close to the top or if it’s 95% or higher than take both the Fig nodes as a high priority and if it’s under 95%, they’re a medium priority.

Best Nodes in Valencia City

Valencia City High Priority Nodes

Date Palm at Valencia Plantation

Freekeh at Valencia Plantation

Date Palm at Erdal Farm

Valencia City Medium Priority Nodes

Pistachio at Erdal Farm

Silk Culture at Erdal Farm

Pistachio at Valencia Plantation

Valencia City Low Priority Nodes

2 Teff Nodes at Fohalam Farm

Because cooking is becoming more popular some of the nodes have jumped up to be high priority nodes from earlier in the guide again you can use the green bar to kind of assess the popularity of a node and if you see this drop behind 95%, these drop in priority.

We have a date palm node and a Freekeh node over at Valencia Plantation. Then another date palm node at Erdal farm. Now we consider all three of those to be high priority assuming the green bars high and assuming the materials aren’t too flooded on the market.

There’s also two pistachio knows one of each of these locations that you can mess with it looks good but I don’t know how long it’ll stay good so if you want it could be very good money but it can also usually crash.

The Silk Culture, when silkworms are selling on the market this is a lot of silver so if you can actually sell it then you can take us as a high priority. I find that’s usually the stuff just sits there and it takes like a week to move if it moves at all. if you’re in a region where the stuff is actually selling then take it.

So the Teff Nodes in Fohalam Farm aren’t as valuable so this is a low priority.

Best Nodes in Arehaza Town

High Priority Arehaza Town Nodes

2 Palm Timber at Areha Palm Forest

In Arehaza you’ll have one slot by default, you can buy a second one off the Pearl Shop and once you do that send both workers from Arehaza Town. If you can’t or don’t want to buy the Pearl Shop lodging just sent one worker from Arehaza and one worker from Valencia. But either way both of these nodes are recommended.

I hope you enjoyed this node tutorial for each town in Black Desert. If you have any feedback, be sure to comment below, I hope you enjoyed this guide!
