Great video! I would like to add that you don't actually have to connect Trent to Behr (or Longleaf) to get that extra lodging in Trent (saves some contribution). So basically you can go straight into Behr and invest into that lodging. Also another thing, for turning in the crates, you can open up your life skill level window and click the sticker ui button in the top right. This enables that window to stay open when trading. This way you don't have to exit out all the time to check your trading level and do the bargain mini-game over and over.
Lazy veteran player here. Running my pc 24/7 which means my worker empire is also gathering raw materials 24/7 and afk process all of them while im spending time with my family in the living room. Have my Grana workers go to Calp to make Calph, Serendia, Brass, Bronze, and Steel crates. I make about 6-10 billion silver (that's 1 tet acce right there w/o killing 1 mob) in every month or month half when I turn all my crates in. This is for the players like me that has a life outside bdo.
Here's why I love this video and how you laid it out. All your disclaimers in the beginning made me decide it is not for me, which I really appreciate.
To all those who must connect the nodes to Valencia city. THIS IS NOT EASY, you'll get mad believe me. Some nodes manager are a pain to find and are in the middle of dangerous mobs. Bring your combat gear and watch for your horse. You will need ALOT of patience and DONT DO THIS IF YOU HAD A BAD DAY. Anyway thanks for the video.
@@thatguy3213 Personally I like horse training and farming for that. You can also do afk fishing and then trade them, but you need a lot of character inventory space.
@@EvilDoUsHarm I know you put tons of time in making these videos and by the end of the day you do a great job at explaining everything in detail. I’m just now getting my friend into this game(Mainly for the life skills) after showing him a couple videos on how to get started he’s been locked in since. Your content has helped so many and your doing wonders for your community and newcomers alike please keep up the great work and have a great year dude. 🙏
can you add and say that this : Trading lifeskill : is the best way Free to play players can sell their raw materials in node empire or gathering. because F2p players will run out of value pack sooner or later. then selling raw materials in central market will be only at 65% value. while doing the trading lifeskill will give something like 90% of the value of raw materials or more like 110% at most(but with more effort).
Amazing man, after seeing you talk about this for awhile on Twitch it's really cool to finally see the video for it! Thanks for all your helpful guides
when it comes to the route to valencia go thru keplan and glish stead all the northern nodes...you can send goblins from calpheon to the keplan workshops and goblins from heidel to the glish workshops, this way you can benefit from additional workshops and the needed materials are provided from the big cities
Professional traders are like: Valencia ha why haha are you dumb. Levi: "Haha I am laughing at you, why you are even clicking on a video that has "beginner" in the title".
Awesome resource, thanks! My trading skill was lagging behind, and got a few spare CP from the recent boost, so set up a mini version of this ready to expand when I get more. Could only afford 3 guys, but they can work away while I grind out a few more dailies and get a head start on bumping to Art2. :)
i've been doing the same, Trading really is something, it's heavy on CP usage too. connecting those nodes. I got aritsan 2 though by just running regular trade goods though velia/heidel/gilish. Just max out your weight, took me about a week to do it on the oliva servers with the lifeskill buff. Really looking forward to seeing how you make money with artisan 2. Since i've gotten it i'm clueless on how to utalize it to make money
Not that I am complaining because your guides have served me and everyone else very well, but where does such dedication to a game come from? And let’s not even get into how much time you put into making all these guides. I greatly appreciate and admire your thoroughness, the attention to detail and your overwhelming drive to help others. Again, no disparity to you brother, but I would love to see you placing this much effort into growing an actual business of your own and retiring on or before your 40th birthday. :-)
1) calpheon workshop refining method 2)Renee the cat 3)effects of the wonderful bree drug 4) The shaia incident 5) Madame levintia 6) Calpheon workshop apprentice recruitment. Can't be bothered to keep reversing the video lmao
thanks for the tips and the time you took making it man 6 months ,not being funny either i watch i gardener that does seed to harvest in her videos. i commend her all the time all that time for one video realy great work thanks for everything you bring to this game to make it easy for a noob like myself
I just went through the process of trying to figure all this out and taking a day to set up my worker nodes a day before this video came out. Damn it, lol.
Just a reminder: when selling your money crates dont forget to connect the nodes! I forgot it once and got only around 100k silver what couldve been 1 bill!
This is a good video but when you use the word "beginner" you have to account for if the beginner actually has enough Contribution to obtain all the nodes your asking for.
A great guide still to this day. Are there any notable changes to trading with the recent updates? I keep seeing more and more players riding wagons and I feel like something's up low key. Would like to see an updated guide on trading system.
Nice video, thanks for the complete tutorial, when you say at the end that you are losing money by running this node you mean "no profit" or you mean less profit than other activities you can use your cp on?
thank you for the effort. If you are looking for topics for part 2 😉: What do the signed percentages mean, if you buy goods from the mercant. Is it a forecast of price increase, or request increase or .... ?
I had to subscribe to your channel. I knew literally nothing about this game, My guild I have been with for 20 plus years has been playing it for the past 3 years but I took a break from gaming for a few years. I started literally 20 days ago and have surpassed some of my guild mates already. Artisian in more than half my life skills all because of your videos! thank you so much, great videos and to the point. I am still learning a ton, but I watch almost every one of your videos. 2 things, 1 You show some spreadsheets and say you leave the link in the comments, for some reason I just cant find the links on your videos so I can download them? is it just me or am I blind haha. I really would like this one and a few others from some of your other vids. 2nd question, do you have anything for end game or should I say "mid game" lol... I power leveled to 61 using your guides "change tomb" etc. But I am main questline kamasylvia quests. Some of the quests require 240 ap, in full narch and capotia I am 225 ap. And I seem to be lost on where to go from here.... how to get up my ap? only buying new gear now? can I farm better gear? there are a few questions I have. A mid game guide would help so many I think.
For Black Stone Powder, not sure if anyone else has said it. But go to any Jeweler and buy the Green Crystals for 30k. Make sure your processing is high for max efficiency and then grind those Crystals. I am at Master 2 and am getting between 9 - 15 BSP per Crystal. DO NOT BUY ON THE MARKET! Hope this comment helped.
Hello there just wanted to say I have learned a lot from you just watching your videos I play on Xbox I have purchased pay to win storage maxed in calpheon I am trying to make 6 or to buy 6 workshops with cp and it says I can't expand my storage capacity do you have any ideas or what I'm doing wrong
Do u recommend me to have a character always at valencia city? Lvl that one up and left that one there forever? because i can see that u use a character that u normally use for other lifeskills.
Awesome guide, as always! I have one... dumb (?)... question... should the amity with Bravant reset after every contract purchase? I have two of his workers now but having to play the amity game each time sucks and I've never come across that before. I got amity with Bravant to 500, bought a contract, won't let me buy a second one so look at the amity and it's dropped back to 5, play amity to 500 again, buy a second contract, won't let me buy another one, look at the amity and oh look, it's at 14... aaaand that's where I stopped for now.
Hi there. In Valencia, I can get 70 iron crates into my bag and move to Trade NPC. Also, I need to put them to mount inventory and back to sell them. Do you have any idea how much time it will take?:) or do you have any smarter way to do it. From my calculation comes that to sell 7k pieces it would take around 250 min.
i just have some question is it better to melt all my material till ingot than made the crate or just like you just make crate from those material for silver
Can I do this to get to artisan 2, then take back all my contribution points from the nodes, and still have the desert trade buff? I'm only planning to do this for fishing.
Is it true that when selling fish, the nodes do not have to be connected? All my CP is being used right now, so thinking about trying to level trading exp by fishing in Odyllita, using the desert trade buff and selling in Valencia. I know this video doesn't cover the fishing method, but in your testing did you try it?
Hello, if you see this pls reply, is this outdated? Because buying copper for creates costs 10k powder 3k so in total 13k without transportation, selling them with desert buff to valencia is like 8 - 10k with artisan 2 trading. So how is it profitable, I am just wondering cos I set up aşll the system and still doesn't understand how this makes money, thank you for very good tutorial btw.
The disclaimer does not come even close on how many cp you need and time you have to invest to keep a decent system running, Im just talking calpheon serendia and only one of brass/bronze/steel, if you want to do sunflower to get t9 materials and any junk crate on the top we are talking about 300 cp+. papu worker in Grana burn their stamina so fast, using mastery gear while processing gets you overweight also quickly so its not a total afk lifeskill any longer, you have to buy processing costume and worker lodging in Grana OWT and kamasylvia. you really burn a lot energy rolling workers, so if you follow any other of these guides (gathering/"normal" node empire) you can forget about those, like 3 workers + lodging for shakatu farmland? gathering one hour per day? forget that, you wont have the cp or energy for weeks to come if you want to get a crate empire rolling you will just end half committed to either of both. and btw, Im not talking about connecting northern mediah highland (maple) and dormann timber camp (fir). Im sure your guide will be great in the end, but you should emphasize a lot more on what you are people leading up to
In your video you sent all your crates using a trade wagon. Has that been changed? I tried moving some crates that way and it seem like it isn't allowed.

I like you man, you don't play the game as most grinders do, you say it straight up, and u game your own unique way. Kudos!!
Honestly one of the best dudes out here, you explain every so clearly and well. Love it.
Great video! I would like to add that you don't actually have to connect Trent to Behr (or Longleaf) to get that extra lodging in Trent (saves some contribution). So basically you can go straight into Behr and invest into that lodging. Also another thing, for turning in the crates, you can open up your life skill level window and click the sticker ui button in the top right. This enables that window to stay open when trading. This way you don't have to exit out all the time to check your trading level and do the bargain mini-game over and over.
