Black Desert Online: Tips and Starting Guide for Beginners

Quests

Quests are used to earn experience, currency and loot. There are several different types of quests for players to embark on during their journey in Black Desert Online. You can check out the types in the list below:

• Main Quests: This are your story quests. Completing these progresses the narrative of the game.
• Black Spirit Quests: You know that little black spirit that follows you around? Well it gives you side quests that can tie into the story. Gaining access to these requires that you meet set conditions, such as level or talking to certain NPCs.
• General Quests: Side quests given to you by NPCs. They’ll ask for information on something and you have to go and get it.
• Exploration Quests: Similar to general quests, except you have to locate a place.
• Trading Quests: These quests will require you to obtain and trade specific items.
• Production Quests: Same as trading, only this time you have to make specific items.
• Repeat Quests:  These are quests that you can do more than once, allowing them to be farmed to a degree.

Depending on what you’re in the mood for, you can choose the type of quest that suits you best. It’s better to know what you’re getting into rather than just going in blind and ending up bored.
