Great Guide to Trading in Black Desert Mobile. Great Guide to Trade in Black Desert Mobile Black desert goods merchants

One of the ways to make money in Black Desert online (BDO) is Trading. I must say right away that trading is a long process of investing various investments for profit. It's great additional way earnings in the game.

So, you have decided to become a merchant. First you need to prepare.

You must have:

• the game world is open;
• a decent amount of influence points to make a trading network;
• desire to engage in trade;
• merchant's special clothes (optional).

How to transport goods?

wagon

Naturally, you will not carry goods in your hands, for this you need a means of transportation, the best is a wagon. The coolest wagon is the Forest Wagon, it has 22 slots and can be repaired, but it cannot be bought at the auction because it takes a long time to craft. The variant is not worse than the Aristocrat's Cart, it has 20 slots, although it is impossible to repair it, like any other cart of this type. That is, if the wear of the wagon becomes 0, you will just need to buy a new one, or craft it. The strength of the wagon is its energy (life), it can be restored by any groom, wear and tear is the period of its operation, it cannot be restored (except for the Forest wagon).

Also, don't forget to buy a body kit for the wagon. Although not required, it is desirable. It can also be crafted. In general, you can choose a cart yourself, focusing on what your budget and needs are.

You can buy a wagon and body kit at an auction or craft it in a carriage workshop in a big city.

There is another good thing in wagons, this is pumping horses. You can harness your horses to the wagon and, while trading, pump horses at the same time.

What you should pay attention to. If you carry goods in a wagon not on the road, then the goods may fall out, and you will lose them forever. The wagon throws along the road so well, you can imagine how it will look if you drive over potholes and off-road.

Cargo transportation

In addition, you can transport goods using the Cargo Transportation service (only for craft goods). has a maximum weight of 30,000 LT, so it can carry 1,500 20 LT packs, 1,200 25 LT packs, and 1,000 30 LT packs at a time.
The goods are delivered to the warehouse of the city and then you just have to take it to the Merchant and sell it. Cargo transportation is a paid service, and its cost depends on the quantity and type of goods, as well as the connection of nodes. In order to use Cargo transportation, you need to place the goods in the warehouse, click the Transportation button below, select Delivery in the menu that opens, then Purpose of delivery - in the menu that opens, select the city where we ship and the Method, type of transport - at your discretion. And send.

Please note if you have not laid commercial network, which connects the destination and dispatch, then the cost of cargo transportation increases by 3 times. Therefore, it is more advantageous to associate the point of departure with the destination.

After you have sent the cargo, after a while, you need to open the warehouse of the city where it should come. If the cargo has arrived, a Gift will be drawn above the city icon on the world map, if not, wait for the arrival.

To receive cargo, you need to open a warehouse, click Transportation and Take All.

You can transport and receive cargo remotely by opening a world map.

Desert

If you decide to transport goods to the desert, then either use freight transportation, or take them to the Eastern Bazaar, and then use a camel or an elephant.

Dangerous road

It is also worth remembering that during the transportation of goods, bandits or hostile players can attack you. In addition, during careless driving, the product may fall out or simply collapse. But in general, the bandits are harmless sheep, compared to the crazed representatives of the Vartags, who are eager to merge you on the wagon and destroy the wagon.

Commercial network

Naturally, in order to trade, you need a trade network, that is, connected nodes between points of sale and purchase. In addition, a trading network is needed, as you already understood, for transportation.

Thanks to the trading network, you can buy goods at a low price and sell them at a high price.

In addition, thanks to a bunch of nodes, you can receive a bonus for the distance between points of trade.

In order to save influence points, you will have to decide in which area you want to trade and of course this depends on the level of trade craft.

Cost of goods

The price of a commodity always fluctuates, as it is influenced by two factors: supply and demand. That is, if a product is sold too often and in large quantities, then naturally its price will fall, and vice versa, if a product is rarely sold, it becomes a shortage, and naturally its price will rise.

In order to earn money, it is worth buying goods in small quantities and looking for a place where you can sell it for more. You can get information about the cost of buying this product in one place or another by clicking on the “compare” button on the product, you will spend 1 energy point on this, but you will know exactly where to take it and where not.

When buying a product, you should pay attention to an indicator below 100%, when selling, on the contrary, an indicator above 100%.

If you are bringing a product for sale, try to keep it varied.

In addition, you should pay attention to the fact that crafted goods and knocked out from monsters do not have an expiration date, while goods purchased from a merchant must be sold as soon as possible, since their expiration date is 24 hours, and some goods have 2 hours. If your product is delayed, then you will lose money, because its value will drop to 30%.

Illicit trade - smuggling

• goods are sold only at night game time;
• as soon as you buy goods from a smuggler, you will be labeled that you are transporting illegal goods, and every cross will be able to kill you;
• when selling a product, 5000 karma will be removed from you.

The profit is insignificant, so I won't even consider this part of the trade.

trade event

Sometimes it pays to pay attention to the information in the chat. Periodically, a message appears on different channels in a completely random way, something like this:

« Calpheon Plain buys: Miscellaneous up to 200%. Luxury 200%. Products 200%. Alchemy 200%. Military 200%. Illegal 200%. Clothing 200%. Seafood 200%. Raw material 200%.»

During this trading event, purchase prices for certain types of goods increase (decrease) in a certain place.

You just need to buy goods in the area and sell them to the fence. You can see where the purchase is currently taking place by opening Esc - Goods:

To buy goods at a low price, you can remotely view the goods from the merchant through the world map by clicking on the merchant and spending 1 energy point.

Goods production

Goods can be made independently, the so-called packs. A similar product is created in special workshops:

Workshops (workshop) currently have two levels:

1 level of the workshop makes it possible to create boxes of 1 unit;

Level 2 of the workshop makes it possible to produce boxes of 5 units, while consuming resources 5 times.

The role of workers in the production of goods

Naturally, in order to make something, you need the material from which to make, and the one who will make them. This is where workers come to the rescue. . You will need to activate the nodes where you want to mine the material and connect them to the place where the worker lives. To make it easier for you to find the mining site, .

And of course, it is the workers who will craft packs while you rest or farm on the spot. Some wear, others craft.

How to increase your profit while trading

There are a good number of factors that affect the profit from the sale of a product, which can help you increase your profit.

Before selling a product to a merchant, click "bargain" and bargain with him. One mini-game will cost you 5 energy points, but even if you fail it, you can try your luck again.

Merchant clothes

While leveling up the skill of trade, the Trader's Special Clothing will help you, you can buy it at the auction or craft it yourself. Improved Merchant Clothing increases movement speed, max. load capacity and trading experience.

In addition, you can buy Merchant Clothes of a certain level from the clothes merchant, which increases the chance of a deal during trading, increases luck and trading experience.

Well, now some summary.

When I was asked to write the Trading Guide article, my trading was Learner 10. Naturally, to write this article, I have to go through everything on my own. I checked if the bonus from the level of pumping worked, checked the distance between delivery points, pumping options and much more.

So, you have decided to trade.

There are several options for leveling the Trade craft:

• you can transport goods from one place to another, earning on the difference and simultaneously pumping. Please note that the higher the level of the goods and the greater the distance, the more trading experience you will get;
• you can load the character with goods, and doing somersaults (Q + forward) somersault to the nearest merchant and back;
• you can safely craft packs and hand them over.

Which pumping method suits you is up to you to decide.

If you decide to craft packs then (in short, I won’t go into too much detail):

Let's look at each production separately (this is my personal point of view, not an assertion).

Fish shop.

It has long been known in this world that it is better not to dry the fish, but to hand it over alive, or even hand it over to the Imperial merchant, the benefit is much greater than drying and selling in packs.

Mushroom farm.

Packs will not bring good profit, so do not waste your time on them.

Sawmill.

It is possible to make a profit, but remember to look at what the packs are made of and not just the base cost.

Smelter.

You can get a very good profit, again, we look not only at the base cost, but also at the manufacturing recipe.

You can make a good profit, but in addition to hired workers, you will need to make your own efforts, plant agricultural resources in your gardens and harvest them.

1. So, you have decided what you will do. Look at the points of extraction of resources by workers, activate the nodes and send workers to collect resources. If these are agricultural plants, rent a few vegetable gardens and start growing products.
2. Acquire the necessary workshop in the city from where you are going to transport the goods, hire a worker and start manufacturing.
3. Consider how you will deliver the product to the point of sale. If paid freight (the best option), link the delivery nodes.
4. Calculate the future profit of your product. To do this, you need to take the base cost of the goods, the distance bonus, the craft level bonus and the desert buff, if necessary.

For example, let's say you decide to craft a Crate of Choice Sunflowers.

Its base cost is 15,240 silver.

The point of manufacture is Grana, the point of sale is Valencia. Distance bonus 113%.

The level of your craft of Trade is Master 2. The bonus during the transaction from the level of the craft is 26%.

The Trade system is a peaceful way to earn silver by buying and selling various items in different cities. In this guide, we will analyze the basics of this craft, we will analyze how to start and what to do in the first stages of Trade.

What will we need?

To begin with, we must have a level 6 Main Building and a Trade Center (former resource exchange building).

We also need a horse that we can harness to a cart. The higher the rank, the longer we can trade in one go. For example, rank 6 of a horse gives +5% to the maximum value of feed, that is, we can travel around the world 5% longer.

To change the horse, you need to remove everything from the cart, otherwise you will not be able to remove or change the horse.

We can't start trading until you bring 4 workers with you. Workers are needed to collect resources and kill monsters that can be found along the way. We advise you to take the best ones and somehow call them names, thus you will always take the same slaves, pumping their skills.

Start of trading.

After all the preparations, we press the big button and we will be teleported to the world map, next to the Personal Fort. Without wasting time, we immediately choose the direction, click on the map and go to the nearest city, along the way we collect all the indicative signs, whether it be resources or an attack of monsters.

Collecting resources and killing mobs is as follows: just drive up, click on the pointer, wait a while, get resources and drop.

Having reached the city, we enter it and drive up to the NPC Merchant on the machine. Each merchant has 4 buttons:

• 1. Communication with him
• 2. Friendship with NPCs
• 3. Opening packs. For example, before the introduction of this update, you could get them using the event.
• 4. Buying/Selling items.

This is where we open our boxes.

According to the menu for opening packs, everything is clear. If there are packs, we spend 50,000 silver and get a drop, by the way, they are mined from special mini dungeons that are also found on the map.

Let's take a closer look at the Buy/Sell tab. We carefully examine each item. We are only interested in the goods that can be profitably sold in the city where we will go.

At the moment, there are several options for trading.

• 1. This is riding around the nearest cities, stopping by each and trading mainly in blue goods. Approximately it looks like this: Appear on the map, go to the Western camp along the way, collect all the resources and kill the monsters. In the Camp, we buy Food Books and other items if they can be sold in the cities of Serendia and Balenos. Next, we go to Velia along the way, collect resources, Sell / Buy blue items and food in Velia. We keep books for Glish or Heidel. We also buy everything in Heidel, not forgetting to look into the second tab. Well, in Glish we hand over all the leftovers, we buy food, we do not touch the Yellow Goods in Glish and exit the Trade. You can exit through the door on the map or simply exit the game.
• 2. The second option is much easier. If you do not have crashes from the game, you can easily buy in the Camp or Velia, and go to the Florin Village in the Calfion location. When driving, always speed up to collect resources without wasting time. We come, we rent goods, we get 300% -400% profit and a lot of experience, we buy only food and exit the trade.

If possible, buy food in each city at the expense of resources (the last lot in each city). Also exchange resource packs in the second tab. There are some interesting suggestions there.

When you are in the city, your food is not wasted, you can easily explore the entire assortment, or wait for the update of pointers with resources and monsters.

Having bought the right product, we leave the city and look for the city on the map with the best offer. It is important to pay attention to the distance and how much we will get in the end, it would also be nice to go the other way or return the same, only after updating the signs.

Do I need to use acceleration?

Yes. Always use the boost, food is consumed in any case 50 pieces every 10 seconds and 140 approximately every 50 meters.

Arriving in the desired city, we sell all the goods in the 3rd tab and buy in the first tab and again check the 2nd tab.

Periodically, a special merchant appears on the map from which you can buy good items for cheap, as well as sell some items from blue goods with a 200% markup. It appears for exactly 2 minutes. In order to get to it, use the acceleration. But don't forget how much food you donate to get to him, if he's not on our way, it's better to ignore him.

The list of goods is different, but for example, purple dots for 24499 silver and legendary dots for 291550 silver.

Limits.

You can spend 37,000 food per day at trading level 1. With each level, your limit increases by 900. The food limit per trip depends on the rank of the cart and horse.

Spent food 50pcs in 10 seconds, and 140pcs for every 50 meters of travel.

At the end of the expedition, a window appears with detailed information: how much silver you spent / earned, how many signs and meters you traveled.

After each trip, we clean the inventory of the cart and open the packs.

Many people ask what kind of scrolls fall out of the Trade, and so one scroll is needed for 100% bargaining with Patrizio (night merchant), the second is needed for an additional passage of the Teaching Tower.

Video reviews of trade

A short but informative guide from DrChaos

Video review from BDMbase

Ask questions below in the comments, we will try to answer everything.

In contact with

Do you want to feel like a medieval merchant, transporting goods by land and sea, while earning mountains of silver? Then you are here. However, this activity is not as simple as it may seem, and it takes time. A lot of time spent by you on the goats of your trading cart.

It's one of the ways to make money. It consists in two types of capital gain: you yourself produce goods and sell them where it is more expensive, and the second option is that you buy goods from special NPCs cheaper and, again, sell them where it is more expensive. To start trading, in any case, you will need a trading wagon or a donkey and initial capital. But first things first.

Production\purchase of goods

You can produce goods in houses specially designed for this. There are several types of such houses, where goods are created from certain resources - wood, ores and metals, herbs, vegetables and fruits, mushrooms, fish. Usually, in order to engage in the production of goods, you need to have or send to . Therefore, the trade in such goods will take a lot of time just waiting - when the slaves get the resources or when the harvest in the garden is ripe + then it will be necessary to process the raw materials into goods. Behind expensive goods you can earn a very good income.

You can go another way, simpler in this sense - to buy various goods from NPC merchants. Such NPCs are marked on the map with an icon. Each merchant sells different goods. There is a purchase limit - different products require different level Trade skill, so you won't be able to buy what you want in the beginning. Purchased goods, if they are not sold within 24 hours, lose their value and can then only be sold for 30% of the original cost. In addition to the price of goods, the weight and quantity available for purchase vary. Goods are recovered from NPCs over time.

Trade transport

In fact, you can transport goods on anything, even on your own back, but it is much more convenient to use specially designed for this vehicles. At the beginning of the game, most players carry goods on a donkey, but we will look at a more advanced option - trading carts. Attention, carts can be used from character level 8.

The cart can be obtained in three ways:

1. Buy from a groom in any city. You can choose the simplest types of carts from him.

2. Buy at the auction in the Cart->Certificate section. Carts created by other players cost acceptable.

3. Craft it yourself in the Carriage Shop.

You need to register your new vehicle with the stable for the certificate to become a stable cart. Approach any groom, click on the registration button, select the document for the cart in the inventory, give the transport a name.

The cart can be equipped with various items that give bonuses:

Lantern (protection)

Wheels (speed increase)

Signage (increased load capacity)

Banner (defense)

Roof (protection and increase the safety of goods when driving off-road)

All this can be crafted at the Carriage Workshop or bought at the auction. Items lose durability when moving the cart, they can be repaired at the blacksmith. All cart gear except for the lantern can be honed with regular Black Armor Stones, with no safe enchant limit and 100% enchant option using multiple stones. It is important to remember that the equipment is divided into items for two-wheeled and four-wheeled carts, it is written on it (ordinary wagon and four-wheeled wagon).

Driving a cart, especially one with four horses, is more difficult than driving a horse. To turn around, the wagon needs a lot of space, so driving near water is dangerous - you can accidentally “steer” in the wrong direction and the cart will instantly sink. Consequences of death and conditions of resurrection for shopping carts in Black Desert the same as in . If your horses were harnessed to the cart, death to them will not count. When moving, the cart consumes an irreplaceable margin of safety (similar to the energy of a horse).

IMPORTANT! If you ride a loaded cart NOT on the road, you have a chance of falling out of the cart of goods! You can't return them!
Therefore, you should only drive on roads. However, on them you may meet bandits who will attack your cart. The location of such gangs can be seen on the map - they are displayed with a red icon with a masked face. If it is not possible to go around the bandits, just drive through this area as quickly as possible, they will not have time to cause significant harm with the standard equipment of the cart. Don't forget to have it repaired by the groom later.

Creation of a trading network

How to create a trading network - there will be a separate general guide.

So, the transport and trade network are ready, as well as the goods produced / initial capital for the purchase. Consider the subtleties of speculation. Approach the NPC merchant and open the trade menu (basket button). Important! To open this menu, the character must be in the game for at least 10 minutes, he will not be able to do this before!

NPC trade menu

1. Button for the list of goods for sale. 11. Return to the initial dialogue.

2. Button for the list of prices for buying for all goods. 12. Slots in commercial vehicles.

4. List your items for sale. 14. Money in the character's inventory.

The blue color of the line means that the price has fallen below 100%, the red one means that it has risen above. Next to the price in green are percentages of the initial cost. It is important that when buying your trade transport is nearby (goods are automatically placed in it).

Buying a product

1. Expiry date. After the expiration, the goods everywhere will cost only 30% of the initial cost.

2. The quantity of goods available for purchase. Recovers over time.

List of items to buy

When you click the buy button and select a quantity, the item is added to the shopping list at the bottom of the screen. After adding all the necessary goods, on the right you can see how much everything will cost and weigh in total. If you change your mind, you can clear the shopping list, or change the quantity of each item by clicking on the number. If everything suits you, you can press the button to buy all the goods in the list (see the button descriptions for the NPC's Trade Menu screenshot).

View product prices in other outlets

1. Button to return to the menu for purchasing goods.

When purchasing goods, you can click the button to the right of the button for purchasing goods and find out the prices for this product in other outlets (distinguish by name) in all regions. This action costs 1 interaction point. You can also see the purchase prices for all items in the outlet, if you click on it on the map, this also costs 1 interaction point.

The price of goods is regulated by the system and the actions of the players. The system automatically repeats the decline and rise in the price of a product over time, this is clearly seen on the price change curve. If players sell any goods to the merchant, the price for buying it will fall in proportion to the volume of sales.

Sometimes the prices for the purchase of all groups of goods in individual outlets soar up to 200%. This is reported by a pop-up message on the screen, it can also be viewed by opening the world map and clicking the button on the left Goods and pave the way to this point. Over time, the price at such a point will still drop as players bring goods to sell there, although it will still be indicated that at this point 200% prices.

Thus, the merchant can arrange the most profitable deals in different ways:

Option 1. Remember the goods that are available to you for purchase in your retail network and check their prices at retail outlets through the card. Then start buying and selling.

Option 2. When purchasing goods, pre-check their prices in other outlets.

Option 3. For the lazy. You buy in city A and go to city B, stopping at all outlets and selling goods there, if it is profitable, as well as buying them.

As for craft goods. You can craft 20-40 goods, wait until the price rises to 130% and then sell all the rest. You can load a cart with goods and put it in a stall, then quickly drive up and sell everything, while the price is kept at a good level. However, remember that selling a lot of goods at once, the price will drop sharply by several percent.

When selling goods, you can try to bargain with the NPC by clicking on the button with the scales under the list of goods for sale. A window with a mini-game will appear. In it you need to click on the buttons below. Each press shifts the scales, your task is to balance them (well, or almost balance them). Arguing about prices turns the scales, conversations about trading are much less. You only have a few attempts to balance the scales. Their number is indicated in the upper right corner of the window with scales. If you have a reputation with a merchant, there will be more attempts when trading with him, and also attempts to add merchant costumes that can be purchased from a special NPC. If you failed to bargain, a red inscription will appear on top of the scales, if the bargain is successful - green. Each mini-game costs 5 energy. If successful, the price of all your items for sale will increase. You can increase the price in this way only once. If you complete the dialogue before the sale of goods, you will have to bargain again.

Imperial Trade in Black Desert

One of key features trade in Black Desert Online This is Imperial trade. It should not be missed by your trade routes and used as often as possible, because. this is a very profitable business for any trader. What is it? It's simple - there are always 5 sets of goods in the game that are temporarily owned by Imperial Trade. This means that by purchasing these items from normal merchants and delivering them to a certain city to a special NPC merchant, you will sell them at a 250% markup, regardless of the sales of other players. Sets of such goods are replaced either over time, or after reaching the limit for the sale of these goods to the imperial merchant. Usually, goods from one set can be bought in one city and several nodes near it. When buying imperial goods in the buy menu, they are marked with a crown, and in brackets it is indicated in which city the imperial merchant accepts them.

You can view the current sets of imperial goods by opening the world map and clicking the "Trade" button on the left. By clicking on the button with an arrow, you will pave the way to the imperial merchant, who needs to carry certain goods. Where they can be purchased is often indicated in their description. There is no way to get to the merchant located in Valencia, as it runs through the desert.

When you bring goods to an imperial merchant, you can bargain with him in the same way as with a regular one. In the list of goods he buys on the left, you can see how many more goods he can accept. The Imperial Merchant does not sell anything and only buys Imperial goods meant specifically for him. When selling imperial goods, you will also receive an additional reward - Glowing Gold Seal (Imperial Delivery). These seals are exchanged with Imperial merchants for various unique items, similar to regional seals for trading. Imperial merchants in different cities have different items!

Trade quests

Almost every merchant offers a trade quest, its essence is to buy a certain product from this merchant and sell it at another outlet.

The reward for such tasks is influence points, goods-coins, Coupons for goods exchange. One coupon gives one random product. To exchange a coupon, go and talk to a merchant in any city, press the exchange button in the dialogue.

Another type of reward Glowing Golden Seal (Calpheon Trade) and Glowing Golden Seal (Median Trade). These seals are obtained from trade missions in the respective regions and can be exchanged with NPC vendors for various unique items that cannot be obtained in any other way.

In addition, these seals can be exchanged for materials needed to create guild goods. An NPC who trades such materials stands next to the imperial merchant in each city, and can also sell such goods to him. This pack is created in the guild house and all proceeds from its sale go to the guild treasury. Worth about 3 million.

Merchant clothes

If you like trading in Black Desert, then you just need to purchase one of the merchant outfits to achieve the best enrichment effect. There are two types of costumes: crafted and bought from NPCs. It is highly recommended that you purchase the costume from the NPC as it will be more useful to you. We explain why: a crafting suit increases your luck and weight limit, with an improvement of +2 and above, it increases the experience gained in the Trade trade profession. However, the silver suit also increases your luck, profession experience, and increases the number of tries in the merchant mini-game. But after winning the mini-game, you get additional revenue from the sale of each product.

South entrance to Calpheon

Epheria Port

As in other professions, the player's profit increases as the skill is leveled up: beginners are forced to trade with many restrictions that no longer apply to experienced traders, allowing them to get the maximum profit.

Principles of trading in Black Desert

You will have to trade with special NPCs - merchants. You can find them in any major city (sometimes several different goods), as well as on the surrounding farms, by the icon on the map with the image of a wagon.

Merchants sell the following items:

Fish - caught in a pond or dropped from mobs (fogans, nagas, watermen);

Craft packs (for example, boxes with ore and ingots created in the smelter);

Drop from the grind of mobs and from the collection (for example, amber with an insect, which sometimes drops out when harvesting wood);

Regional goods are packs purchased from one merchant and delivered to another.

Trading in the classical sense is precisely the last point, the resale of packs bought at a low price, taking into account the extra charge for the distance. In order for the occupation to be profitable, you will need to create a trading network: connect nodes between the cities, with the merchants from which you are going to do business. If the nodes are not interconnected, you can sell the goods for 30% of the cost. Keep in mind that after 24 hours of real time, packs purchased from the merchant lose 70% of their value. Items purchased from him will not be returned to the NPC.

Training

Camel. The best option for trading with the desert dwellers. It has only 8 shelves, but on the sand the speed of movement increases (whereas for the rest of the transport, except for the elephant, it is reduced by 50%). Can be obtained for free by completing the quest at level 55, or exchanged in Valencia for Tamer's Seals. A horse harness is suitable for a camel (including reinforced horseshoes that increase speed).

Baby elephant. Expensive and not suitable for beginners: the purchase will cost 35 million silver. The quest to own an elephant can be taken upon reaching level 55 in Shakatu's Retreat. It has 16 shelves for goods and a load capacity of 1,200 LT. For trading in the Black Desert, as well as for farming mobs on the territory of Mediah, an elephant with the “Quick Step” skill (an analogue of a horse’s quarry) is suitable, which significantly increases the speed of the mount. For example, from Altinova to the Capital of Calpheon on such an elephant, activating acceleration, you can get in 12 minutes, while moving on a wagon will take half an hour.

Merchant clothes

Merchants have access to clothes that give additional bonuses:

Merchant's special clothing. Crafted in the dressing room level 1. Can be enhanced with the same clothes. Increases movement speed, weight limit and trading experience.

Merchant clothing. Purchased from Costume NPC. Increases luck and, accordingly, the number of attempts when bargaining in a mini-game.

Wandering robbers

It is better to put on a merchant costume only in the city before starting a dialogue with the NPC. When transporting goods, use armor: there is a high probability of meeting a roving gang. Rogues are marked on the map with a red marker. Usually they sit in ambush and appear only at the sight of a transport carrying packs. A small gang consists of two archers and a warrior, a larger gang of four archers and two warriors. When they are killed, there is a high chance of getting Golden Seals of Submission, which can be exchanged for various useful things.

You can take a quest for a deal from each merchant: buy a certain amount of a specific product and get money for selling it. As a reward, you will receive influence again and Golden seals of the regional exchange.

imperial trade

There are Imperial merchants in the game who buy certain goods in the capitals of the regions. To see what products they are interested in, you should go to the "Products" item of the Esc menu. The type of items required may vary across channels. The counter is shared by all players, and when buying the required amount, the imperial merchant no longer accepts packs. The minimum markup when selling is 250%, but this NPC can also be bargained with. Trading with an Imperial in Black Desert can be combined with trading with regular NPCs - buying the goods required for imperial trade, and loading the remaining shelves in packs that can be sold at the destination with maximum profit.

Smuggling

Traders of the Professional level and above can trade with smugglers. These NPCs only appear at night in major cities. They can be distinguished by a small lamp in the hand. The goods they offer are worth between 30,000 and 100,000 silver.

Such trade is considered illegal, therefore, a corresponding indicator appears above the transport carrying smuggling. Any player can attack and kill you without worsening their karma. If you manage to deliver the contraband to a merchant in a neighboring city, for each pack sold, you will lose 5,000 karma points. The cost of goods depends on the distance covered.

Results

Trading can be called one of the most calm and boring professions in Black Desert: often during the delivery of goods, absolutely nothing happens, except for meetings with roving gangs. However, this allows you to do other things: for example, chatting with friends in the game or recruiting a new guild.

Black Desert Trade- First of all, this is one of the types of earnings, which includes complex system an economy entirely dependent on the players. Game trading is considered to be a complex, multi-stage process, which in the end should pay off, but unfortunately this is not always the case, since not all players will be able to understand the necessary aspects of trading.

Earnings through trading can be divided into two types:

• complex - independent production of goods and their further sale.
• easy - buying up goods and their further resale, taking into account their own benefits.

For any of these two options, the player will need a lot of time to learn the game mechanics, a small initial capital and a trading wagon / donkey. Coming long time follow the market, falling, rising prices for certain goods, and you will also have to predict future price behavior, but let's take it all in order.

Production or purchase

As mentioned earlier, trade is divided into two types, where players will either produce goods on their own and sell them, or purchase goods from the so-called "NPC merchants" and sell it to another merchant at a more significant price. Of course, no one bothers to jointly engage in the purchase and production of goods for their further sale, but nevertheless it is recommended to choose one direction and gradually increase your capital with the help of it.

Independent production of goods takes many times longer than buying, but the profit promises to be more solid. You can produce goods in the premises designated for this, you only need the necessary components: ore, trees, herbs, vegetables, etc., it will not be superfluous to have your own garden in this matter, otherwise you will have to send workers to extract the necessary resources, and this will take quite a lot of time.

For those who value their time, longing for faster profits and a dynamic game, the developers have come up with special trade secrets in Black Desert. The bottom line is to look for NPC merchants (marked on the map) and buy goods from them. Each merchant is engaged in the sale of goods of a certain affiliation.

I would also like to note that there are restrictions on the number of purchased goods and their shelf life. The quantity varies depending on your skill leveling "trade" and gradually become smaller, but the storage period cannot be changed, so if you failed to sell the received goods in 24 hours, then its further sale will be 70% cheaper. It is thanks to these restrictions that avid merchants make the turnover of goods sold many times greater than beginners.

Transport for trade

You can immediately please the poor inhabitants of the Black Desert, transport in the game is not an obligatory link and in fact you can deliver goods with the help of your two (we are talking about legs), of course this is ineffective, but for the first time this opportunity looks very good, but from the eighth level you can will immediately purchase a trading cart at an auction or from any groom, or craft it with his own hands.

There are several types of shopping carts, they all have their own unique characteristics, such as: volume, speed, maneuverability, acceleration, braking and the free number of slots for the transported cargo. After you have decided on the cart, you should go to the stable, register the transport and get the appropriate certificate, and only then will you have a ready cart in the stalls, waiting for its operation.

In the future, it is possible to improve your cart by installing additional equipment on it, which gives bonuses to characteristics. Now there are the following accessories for the trading cart:

• Banner - improves defense stats
• Lantern - improves protection characteristics
• Roof - improves protection and shelf life of off-road goods
• Wheels - increases driving speed
• Curtains - increase the available volume

It is strongly recommended not to forget about the opportunity to improve your transport and take advantage of the available bonuses, because no one is safe from thieves and off-road, and additional bonuses from equipment will not be superfluous.

Organization of trade nodes

And their organization took up a separate article on our Wikipedia, be sure to read it before moving on to the intricacies of trading.

The beginning and subtleties of trading

Let's move on to the so-called subtleties. Now we have our own distribution network, transport, as well as goods own production or capital for its initial purchase. Black Desert earnings on trade will appear soon enough, the matter remains small, but still you have to work a little. So, go to any of the NPC merchants in BDO and open the trade menu using the shopping cart button.

Important! The menu will not open if the character has just entered the game, you must spend at least 10 minutes online.

This is what the menu itself looks like on Korean servers:

To make a purchase, select one of the sections on the left, then a full list of products from this category will appear. Each product comes with graphical analytics showing its history. pricing policy, based on which you can predict a further rise or fall in the price of the product you are interested in, although this is a rather difficult task and there is a big risk of losing money.

The blue line means that the price has dipped from the initial one, while the red line tells us about the opposite, that is, the price has risen. To the right of the price, green color shows how much the price of the product has changed from the initial cost. Don't forget to "park" your vehicle nearby when trading, as the goods will be placed in it.

1. Shelf life. After 24 hours, the goods will cost 70% cheaper at all merchants;

When you select the product you are interested in, you will need to specify the required quantity and the product will be added to the shopping list (bottom of the screen). You can also change the number of purchased goods right during the transaction or if you have completely changed your mind - cancel it ...

Prices change according to the actions of the players, so meaning of trading in Black Desert is that, with the best price changes increase your capital. The economy system is designed in such a way that when selling large portions of a certain product to a merchant, its cost will proportionally decrease throughout the Black Desert world.

Sale of goods

Sometimes the prices for selling goods to NPC merchants skyrocket to 200% and this event is reported to all online residents of Black Desert using a pop-up message on the screen. This can be followed by opening the world map and clicking the "Products" button on the left, then you should pave the way and go there without delay. In fact, the cream itself will be received by the first sellers who managed to get to the right merchant and sell their cargo to him, since prices will decrease in proportion to the number of deliveries from the players.

As for hard workers who do crafting on their own, you can create ~30 goods, wait for the price to rise to 130% and only then sell them, but you can also load a whole cart with goods to the eyeballs, put it in a stall in order to quickly respond to price increases in the future and to have time to sell everything at once at pleasant prices. The main thing is not to forget that with a sharp sale of goods, the price for them will gradually decrease!

Developers from the studio "Pearl Abyss" added the ability to bargain more profitably with the NPS, in other words, lower the price of the product of interest thanks to the mini-game. How to open the mini-game has already been said a little earlier. In the window that appears, you will need to praise or scold the product using the available buttons that will affect the scales, the essence of the game is to align them. The cost of the attempt is 5 energy, upon successful completion, a green inscription about your victory will appear and the cost of goods available for sale will increase.

The so-called Online deserves special attention, and there is nothing surprising in this. The thing is that this trading option is one of the most profitable in BDO, so you should not lose sight of it and be sure to build your trade routes to it.

In fact, there is nothing difficult, the game includes five types of goods related to the Imperial trade for a certain time. The sale price of such goods is 250%, so you can buy a large batch of such goods from NPCs at a standard price and sell it to Imperial merchants at their rate. The sale price is fixed for a certain period of time and does not depend in any way on the supplies of other players involved in trading.

Such goods are marked with a crown icon from ordinary NPC merchants, and to the right in brackets is information where they are bought by a representative of Imperial Trade with a markup of 250%. You can see the list of active Imperial goods by opening the world map and selecting the "Trade" item. When selling, players will receive a bonus - Glowing golden seal . These seals can later be exchanged with merchants of the empire for unique items.

Black Desert - trade leveling

Many players who have just started their journey as a merchant often wonder "How to quickly pump trade". Trading in Black Desert Online is an active skill with its own ranks, which we will now consider in the correct sequence.

• Beginner - 초급 (10 levels);
• Student - 견습 (10 levels);
• Craftsman - 숙련 (10 levels);
• Artisan - 장인 (10 levels).

A high rank will allow you to buy rare items in larger quantities, so the pop-up question about fast leveling will always be relevant. Gaining experience depends mainly on the size of the batches sold at a time, but there are also ranked costumes in the game that add the amount of experience gained for selling goods.
