Black Desert: Knowledge. Black Desert: knowledge ranks in the “Ecology” section and how to change them Bdo gaining knowledge

This guide describes the entire road to the most necessary knowledge about processing in Black Desert, which opens the player up to the possibility of fully producing all the materials necessary for crafting. Without this set of knowledge, you will not be able to independently make, for example, iron ingots or plywood, and these are one of the most basic materials used to make many items.

Obtaining knowledge of the “Training” type

First of all, make sure that you have enabled the display of quests related to professions. To do this, press O (English) and activate the button at the top of the list of tasks with the scythe icon.

So, the chain of quests begins at the Alejandro plantation, which is not far from the city of Heidel.

Alejandro himself, who is also the manager of the node, stands in the center in front of the building; finding him will not be difficult.

You need to take the task “Pumpkin Picking” from him. He will ask you to deal with the pumpkin monsters nearby and bring him 5 . Evil pumpkins live right there in the beds, where you can use a hoe to collect the necessary vegetables and give them to Alejandro.

The next task from Alejandro will be “Meat dish for workers”. To feed the workers, he asks to bring him 5. Meat can be obtained using a knife by cutting up the carcasses of yellowbills, which are found across the road opposite the plantation.

Having given the meat to the peasant Gurs, we can finally take the quest “Highest Level of Processing” from him. Gurs sends you to Heidel to see Faisi, talk to her and complete the task, immediately take the quest “Learn the highest level of processing” from her. To complete this final task you need to help three NPCs by completing their tasks. These comrades settled down nearby - on a square with a fountain. These are Rubios, Ornella and Plabiani. Decide for yourself in what order to complete their tasks.

Ornella's quest - Materials for repairing equipment. You need to make and bring to Ornella 2, which can be obtained by grinding (L) 10 (for 1 piece). Rough stone can be mined from simple stones using a pickaxe. As a reward, you will be given the knowledge Training: Grinding - thanks to it, you will now be able to make sparkling gems.

Rubios's quest is an Ash Processing Competition. Rubios asks you to bring him 3 . To make a board, you need to chop (L) 5 (for 1 piece). Take an ax and go to the nearest forest near the city - there is plenty of ash there. As a reward, the giant will give you the knowledge Training: Wood Chopping - You can now make plywood and strong veneer from wood.

Plabiani's task - Clean water for experiments. This bearded man, apparently, is engaged in alchemy, and he needs clean water above all. This is what you need to purify for him, namely the water that you collect from the nearest source at 10:00. You can buy bottles from him, then go to the river (or climb straight into the fountain in the square), go into it about waist deep and right-click on the bottle in your inventory, and so on 10 times. After that, the collected water should be heated (L) and given to Plabiani. He will reward you with the knowledge Training: Heating - now you can make the treasured ingots from various metals!

After completing all three tasks, return to Faisi and receive a well-deserved reward in the form of one of three paints to choose from.

Gaining knowledge of the “Mastery” type

Completing the following chain of tasks will allow you to produce materials such as pure ingots of some metal, high-quality leather, etc.

To receive this task, you must have the skills Gathering Professional 10 and Manufacturing Expert 5.

The first quest of the chain is given by a Resident in Keplan, who stands right behind the local blacksmith - the quest Outstanding Craftsman.

He will send you to Batudun, which is located in a mine directly below the city. His task is called Coal better than man(shta?), in which he asks manufacture and bring him 2. To create it, you need to heat 5 (for 1 processed coal). Coal, by the way, can be dug in the same cave.

The next task from Batudun is [Love of Minerals], where necessary manufacture 3 (heat 10 for one ingot).

As a reward he will give you knowledge Mastery: Heating(you can now create pure ingots and strong planks) and a couple of Metal Solvents, which you will need in the next task.

We complete the next task [Pure Ingot] (we create by heating together the three remaining iron ingots and two solvents), take the last quest from Batudun [Wood Chopping Specialist] and go to Trent Village.

NPC Maget, to whom we were sent, will give out the quest [Amazing Art] - we need bring he has 1 each of pine, cypress and cedar plywood. You can buy all this or you can chop it in the nearby forests. It will certainly be easier to buy. He will give 3 as a reward.

In the next task [Processing wood with fire], as in the case of metal, we are asked to do (heat 10 and 3). For this we will be given knowledge Skill: Wood Chopping. This knowledge does not teach the creation of new objects, but according to the description it improves the results in the manufacture of boards, etc.

Maget does not give out any more quests, but from the dialogue with him you can learn that knowledge about drying can be obtained in the Bear Village. We go there and find the headman of the village, Luke the Bear.

On his instructions [Pride of Bear Village] we manufacture(dry 10), we get 5 as a reward. Take the next task [High quality leather], make it (mix 5 and 3).

Attention, in order to make this you must have knowledge of Mastery: Mixing, which can be obtained as a reward for reaching the Master level in Crafting!

While exploring the world of Black Desert, you will receive information about it, about the creatures that inhabit it, about people and cities. And this information is not limited to encyclopedia entries. Knowledge in Black Desert is a factor that can turn a weak character into a thunderstorm.

Six categories of knowledge

• About travel;
• Academic;
• Life;
• About people;
• Environmental;
• Topographical;

Knowledge can be obtained by discovering new locations, meeting NPCs or killing monsters. Their main goal is .

Why do you need the necessary knowledge in Black Desert?

The information obtained will be useful for both peaceful and military purposes.

In the city, knowledge will be useful for establishing. Thanks to this, you can buy better equipment or hire warriors for your army.

Warriors, thanks to their knowledge, see the life bar of monsters. But first you need to kill a couple of identical enemies (for example, boars), rummage through their things and find a scroll that will reveal knowledge about the killed creature.

To turn logs into boards you also need knowledge. You can get them from a special NPC. There is also knowledge about repairing armor, weapons, and cooking.

They have ranks, namely knowledge from the “Ecology” section, that is, the knowledge that a character receives for killing mobs and animals, respectively, bosses as well. You can gain knowledge about a monster either the first time, that is, by killing it once, or several times. Sometimes, to gain knowledge about a monster, you need to kill a lot of mobs. The knowledge rank is assigned randomly.

Each piece of knowledge about a monster has a rank, which is written in capital letters in square brackets. Each rank gives the character separate hidden passive characteristics.

There are 5 ranks in total:

C – the player begins to see the monster’s health bar.

B - increases the character’s defense against monster attacks.

A – the character deals more damage to the monster.

A+ - the character’s damage to mobs becomes even greater.

S – increases the amount of experience gained when killing a monster, increases the power of damage to the monster and increases the chance of dropping trophies (and rare items).

Don't expect to be bombarded with drops if you get an S rank. No, only the chance of a drop increases, but after making a comparison, the drop actually falls more and more often.

So what does this give us? As you can see from the ranks, the coolest rank is S. So, if a player goes to farm mobs where some rare items drop, then it will be more profitable for him to study these mobs at S in order to increase the chance of these same items dropping.

With the innovation of January 10, 2018, the need to relearn already learned knowledge has disappeared. Knowledge gained about monsters now stacks on top of each other, replacing them with a higher level.

In addition, on January 17, 2018, a new innovation was added to the knowledge system - it was a bonus has been added for accumulated knowledge points in the “Ecology” category.

500 points - “Chance of dropping trophies + 2%”;

1000 points - “Chance of dropping trophies + 3%”;

1500 points - “Chance of dropping trophies + 5%”;

2000 points - “Chance of dropping trophies +7%”;

3000 points - “Chance of dropping trophies + 10%”;

4000 points - “Chance of dropping trophies + 12%”;

5000 points - “Chance of dropping trophies + 14%”;

6000 points - “Chance of dropping trophies + 16%”;

7000 points - “Chance of dropping trophies + 18%”;

8000 points - “Chance of dropping trophies +20%.”

The acquired knowledge is assessed as follows:

knowledge of S rank - 10 points;

knowledge of A+ rank - 5 points;

knowledge of A rank - 2 points;

knowledge of rank B - 1 point.

You can view your bonus by clicking on the “N” (Knowledge) button.

In addition, please note that the bonus only works if you beat monsters solo, but if you are in a group, the bonus does not work.

In case you, for some reason, still need to reset the knowledge you have already learned. Act like this.

In order to remove knowledge about the monster, you need to go to Calpheon to the library of the NPC Annalize.

Approach the NPC Annalize and press Dialogue, or R.

In the window that opens, click Knowledge

Next, select from the list that opens the required section of knowledge, for example Bosses, and select the knowledge that we want to delete. Next, click Delete knowledge at the bottom. Please note that deleting knowledge will cost you 10 energy points. We confirm.

The theme of energy in Black Desert is, without exaggeration, one of the main topics that absolutely any player should pay attention to. In the virtual world of this Korean MMORPG, energy is almost the most important currency. Energy in Black Desert is inextricably linked with knowledge, which is also a very broad and interesting topic.

Knowledge about the world around us, history, science, monsters and much, much more awaits adventurers at almost every step of the virtual world. And if at the beginning of the game it seems that all this information is absolutely useless, then with an increase in level comes the realization of the importance of knowledge: after all, maximum energy directly depends on its quantity game character, and from their quality - drop and damage to enemies.

This article will tell beginners about what knowledge is, what it is, and also about how you can increase the maximum energy of a character and use its capabilities to the maximum.

The number of energy points is shown on the main game screen in the upper left corner, next to the character level. By analogy with real life, in the world of Black Desert, energy is spent on almost all actions: collecting resources, various crafts, conversations, gaining knowledge, leveling up skills and much more. Accordingly, the more energy a character has, the more opportunities.

This indicator consists of two values ​​(written with a slash). The first number is the unused energy points currently available, the second is the maximum amount of energy for the character at the current moment. The newly created "Persian" has a value of "0/30".

In order for energy to be replenished to the maximum amount, there are several ways:

1. It is restored by itself at the rate of 1 unit every three minutes (online) and 1 unit once per hour (offline).
2. Completing some tasks, especially daily ones, can also bring the character 3-5 “points” of energy.
3. Purchased “energy boosters”, for example, a glass of wine, which will restore vitality by 3 points.
4. Sleeping in beds (which will be discussed in more detail below) can significantly increase the rate of energy recovery.
5. Energy banks in which you can “can” your (temporarily unneeded) energy or the energy of the twink characters in your family are another way to significantly expand your capabilities when needed.
6. Various buffs and other “goodies” from the game store that can be purchased with pearls, such as Elian’s Blessing (+2 energy recovery rate for 15 days). In addition, by opening a chest with pearls purchased for real money, the character will also temporarily receive a bonus to energy recovery.

In addition to the above, it must be said that in a day of continuous online a character can receive a maximum of 480 energy points, so if more energy is needed, you will have to use various “dopings”.

In the BDO “play life” system, beds occupy a very important place. Many players do not attach enough importance to this type of furniture, but if you are in the mood for long game and quality leveling, the benefits of beds in Black Desert should never be underestimated.

Any bed can only be placed inside your own home, i.e. To enjoy the “bed” benefits, you must invest influence points in purchasing residential property.

There are many types of beds in the game. The simplest ones - Bed from Velia and Bed from Heidel - can be purchased from NPC furniture makers in the corresponding cities. To do this, you will need to upgrade your friendship with them to 500 and 1000 points, respectively. Sleeping on such beds will speed up the energy recovery of the game character by 1.

Also, a Bed from Calpheon can increase energy growth by 1 unit (you can get it for free through the culinary quest chain in Calphe), as well as crafted beds, which are quite easy to create with the help of a hired worker in a furniture workshop.

In addition to simple beds available to everyone, Black Desert has special beds, components of beautiful furniture sets that can only be purchased in the premium store for real money. Such furniture (Goblin Bed, bed decorated with bone, palm bed and others) costs 250 pearls (rubles) and can increase energy recovery by as much as 2 units.

However, even “mere mortals” can afford such an increase in energy, because the Korean MMORPG provides another bed - a reward for completing the achievement of 1000 hours of play on one account. Upon receiving this, without exaggeration, honorary award, the player is offered a choice of a “woolen”, “snake” or “leather” bed. They all have the same characteristics, differing only in design and appearance.

! Interesting note: If the gaming house that you purchased does not have a high enough ceiling, then you should not buy and install high beds in it - there is a very high chance of getting your head stuck in the textures when you “awaken.”

No matter what bed you have and no matter what game buffs you use, if the character’s maximum energy reserve remains equal to 30, you will not be able to achieve much development and implementation in the game world. Therefore, any player should definitely try to increase the maximum energy reserve in Black Desert, and this must be done by gaining knowledge.

The knowledge menu opens by pressing the “H” button. In the list that opens, you can see all the knowledge existing in the world of Black Desert today. The following categories provide an increase in maximum energy: People, Terrain, Islands, Ecology, Adventure, Science. The remaining three subsections (Crafts, Getting to know Black Desert, Trade) do not provide an increase in parameters.

The same menu indicates how much a particular group of knowledge increases the maximum energy indicator. Typically, half of the “collection” of knowledge gives 1-2 energy, and the entire group collected can increase the desired indicator by 4-6 points. The amount of growth depends on the amount of knowledge in the group.

There are huge groups of knowledge (45 - 50 pieces each), and there are also very small ones, consisting of only one point. For collecting a collection of any size you can receive a bonus to energy.

An interesting observation on the topic: sometimes the development team, along with the next patch, introduces changes to the knowledge system: let’s say, previously there were 10 knowledge in the “collection”, but now there are 11. In this case, if the group has already been studied and the reward is in the form of additional “points” "energy is received, then it will remain so. That is, the player will not be deprived of honestly earned energy points, and obtaining the last, 11th knowledge will not affect the maximum indicator in any way.

! An important element, which increases the maximum energy reserve in Black Desert, are also titles. This topic is very capacious and requires a separate article, so for the purposes of today’s discussion we will only note that the number of titles received in the game can increase the maximum energy reserve to +8 units.

Very important to understand is the fact of the distribution of energy between members of the gaming “family” - that is, characters created on the same account, server and under the same surname. The trick is that all family members have the same reserve of maximum energy (due to general knowledge), but everyone has their own consumption. That is, if at least one character in the account raises the maximum energy level, say, to 300, then all the others, even newly created characters, will have the value “0/300” in the “Energy” line.

From this we can conclude that in a week or two all created namesake characters, even while offline, will accumulate the maximum number of “points” of energy, and these valuable reserves can be used for various “family” needs. If it is necessary to spend energy on a specific character (say, to pump up some skill for him), then in such a situation the “conservation” that was mentioned earlier will be very helpful. You just need to log into the game with your “child” characters and have a special NPC process their energy into banks that any family member can easily use.

All of the above directly indicates that if a player is really serious about the game and wants to get the most out of it, it would be very advisable to create the maximum number of characters on your account (even if you don’t plan to play them) and “drain” their energy from time to time.

Lore in one form or another is present in many major games. Usually they are present there only to create the necessary atmosphere or for the entertainment of those who like to read all the quests and understand the history of the virtual world in which they will play.

In Black Desert, knowledge has a broader function. In addition to the above interest, they carry a tangible benefit - an increase in maximum energy level.

Almost immediately after the character enters the game world, you will notice that everything in Black Desert has its own little story. Be it a monster, a city, an NPC, a building - all these objects in the game are accompanied by relevant knowledge. A lot of knowledge can be obtained just like that, without even straining, but this is not always the case. There is even more complex knowledge - for example, about religion or adventure. They are not so easy to obtain, and often you have to get smart and run around a lot in locations to get the necessary information for your “piggy bank.”

“Multi-ranked” knowledge. How is "C" different from "S"?

There are several more subtleties in the knowledge system. For example, knowledge ranks, which always cause a lot of discussion among players. The fact is that some knowledge (from the sections “Ecology” and “Trade”) has a kind of qualitative indicator - rank. The higher the rank of knowledge, the more useful it is. But how can knowledge be useful in Black Desert, besides the previously announced increase in maximum energy? The point is that the knowledge rank of a monster or a good can make a battle or a sale (respectively) much easier.

• The simplest knowledge of “C” rank allows you to see the life bar of hostile monsters.
• Knowledge of the “B” rank increases the character’s defense indicators in battle with a given enemy.
• “A” and “A+” - more rarely dropped ranks - will help inflict more damage on enemies, all other things being equal.
• The most valuable and coveted knowledge of the “S” rank increases the quantity and quality of “drops” from mobs, including experience.

It should be noted that the knowledge of the “S” rank obtained from the Boss is a rare piece of luck, which will subsequently serve well, because the chance of receiving parts of the boss set from a player with such knowledge is higher than that of others.

The most frequently occurring knowledge is, of course, “C” and “B” rank. At the same time, you need to know that if low-level knowledge has already been obtained from a mob, then you cannot increase the rank of existing knowledge. You can only remove this knowledge and try to gain new, more high level. This procedure can be done ad infinitum, as long as you have enough patience.

It is possible to delete any knowledge in Black Desert, and the NPC librarian, Annalisa, who “lives” in the central library of the city of Calpheon, will help with this. By the way, if you wander around the library and take a closer look at the bookshelves, you can get a lot of interesting knowledge and even collect several collections.

The cost of removing knowledge from Annalisa is 10 energy. In addition, there is also the “Elixir of Oblivion”, which allows you to delete knowledge anywhere without the help of a librarian.

In addition to deletion, there is also a reverse procedure: knowledge can be purchased for in-game silver. So, desperate to get the necessary knowledge about some Bheg or Maskan, you can go to a special NPC and purchase the necessary information for a tidy sum of in-game silver. Just keep in mind that the amount will often be very tidy.

Quite a large part of the knowledge can be obtained simply by completing story quests and NPC auxiliary tasks. Knowledge about the area, islands, nodes is obtained automatically when visiting them. Knowledge about people, non-player characters in Black Desert, is most often given during dialogue with them. You recognize fish by catching several of the same species, and monsters by killing a certain number of them.

However, in the world of Black Desert there is also knowledge that is very difficult to obtain. In addition, the total amount of knowledge is amazing - today there are about 2,100 of them, and this figure is constantly growing, because new areas, classes, and NPCs are being added to the game.

To explore the huge reservoir to the maximum gaming knowledge, you must try to complete absolutely all quests, be as attentive as possible at every step, because valuable knowledge can be hidden right under your nose. It is very important to develop relationships with NPCs, because many stories they tell only to close friends. As soon as you see a special sign around an NPC (a blue circle with a question mark on the ground), immediately stop him, start a friendship and finally gain knowledge.

And perhaps the most main advice– try to start exploring the vast world of Black Desert as early as possible. There is nothing sadder than the sight of a level 55+ character who kills low-level mobs in the vicinity of Olivia, because he does not have enough knowledge for his collection about some tree crab or goblin. Be friends with everyone you can (and cannot) be friends with. Try to squeeze all the knowledge out of this game - believe me, it will work to your advantage later.
