In this article we will give a detailed guide to such locations in Black Desert as trading hubs. How to search for them, connect them, raise the level, hire workers - this and much more will be discussed below.

The concept of nodes in Black Desert

Nodes in Black Desert are special points connected to each other on the map and to at least one of the cities. These are trade and transport junctions, for the organization of which you need to invest influence points - for them you will receive resources (collection is carried out by workers).

Nodes will not be available from the very beginning of the game. To find them, you will have to examine the location and communicate with other characters, namely, the managers of this or that node. On the map, such objects can be highlighted with completely different markers. In the upper left part of the world map you can see a list of nodes that you were able to open. Nodes are divided into different types. For example, the first category is called “Regular nodes” and includes simple points that do not have additional bonuses. Cities, which should not be confused with villages, are automatically connected and are also called nodes. No investment is required to use them, while the others require influence points to open. In the menu of nodes on the world map you will see a search with which you can find other objects by name.

When should you spend influence points on nodes in Black Desert?

There is no point in spending influence points on acquiring nodes until you reach your first city called Velia. After all, to organize routes you need a node in at least one of the cities! When you are in Velia, look at the character menu and look at the number of influence points that are currently available to you. You can see their stock in the upper left part of the map. By the time I visited Velia, for example, I had 12 influence points at my disposal out of 48 available, but in your particular case there may be less or more.

You can get influence points only by completing special quests. You will need them in order for you to manage nodes or houses. In general, any deposits containing which you receive resources or money. You cannot lose accumulated influence points. The fact is that after you invest them in any home, after a while you can take them back in full.

The first node, located near Velia, is located south of the city on the Bartelia farm. It will allow you to get potatoes for workers to harvest. At the beginning of the game, this is, in principle, one of the best resources with which you can reduce the cost of beer production. Beer is a valuable item needed to bring back workers who are tired of collecting anything.

Example of a node in Black Desert

How to activate a node in Black Desert

Click on the icon of a node on the map - any one - and you will see the area it covers. In the upper left part the number of influence points required to activate the node is indicated. In addition, you will learn that you need to talk with some character who is the manager of the selected node. To activate it, open the world map and right-click on the node. This way you will automatically go to the manager. Use either automatic running or manual following along the path.

Having arrived at the desired point, click on the R key and during the dialogue select “Node Management”. Once again, a map will appear where you can use the “Invest in a Node” feature. The number of influence points needed will also be indicated here. That's it - the node is activated. Now or after a day, a month, a year, you can deactivate the node and take away the influence points that were invested in it. You can disable it in several ways - chat with the manager or open the world map from anywhere. If you have built an entire route, then to disable a certain node you will need to deactivate other points that are extreme. If you want to reactivate a disabled node again, you won’t be able to do it remotely - you’ll have to talk to the manager again.

How to Level Up and Link Nodes in Black Desert

You can increase the level of any node in the game, which will require spending energy. The maximum node level is 10. You must understand that for each new level you will have to pay more energy. The higher the level of the node, the more valuable the loot dropped from monsters in its area of effect will become. If you increase the level of a node designed for resource extraction, the amount of useful materials that your workers can collect in one go will increase.

You can also upgrade cities and villages. If this is done thoroughly (not levels 1-3), then merchants will have valuable goods at low prices. It will also be possible to make significant profits on the stock exchange, etc.

The nodes will not work separately from each other - you must connect them with each other and, most importantly, connect them to one of the cities. Moreover, all these procedures need to be done from the node that is located near the city. After this, connect the next node to the previous one, etc. If the nodes are not located near the city (that is, you cannot connect them to it), then you can use the search function for the nearest nodes through the world map. She will point you to those locations where the managers of neighboring territories are located, even if you have not yet managed to open them. This will make exploring the map much easier.

Nodes in Black Desert - types and purpose

Trade route between Velia and Olivia

As an example of connecting trade and transport hubs, we present routes consisting of nodes connecting two cities - Velia and Olivia. First, you need to activate the node in the coastal cave, located on the left side of Velia, if you look at the world map. If you cannot meet with the node manager, then open the map and right-click on his icon. The chain of nodes that you must connect is as follows: Velia, Coastal Cave, Coastal Cliffs, Balenos River Estuary, Wolf Hill, Casto Farm, Olivia.

You won't need to spend influence points to level up the Olivia and Velia nodes, since we're talking about cities. It is possible to build another, alternative route, using nodes at Lodge Farm, in the Cave of Imps, in the western camp, at the western gate.

Please note that the image of the node in the western guard camp is similar to the one that indicates the cities, but at the same time this node is not a city. You will have to invest energy into it to improve efficiency.

What are the main advantages of nodes in Black Desert?

If you managed to activate nodes in the correct order, connecting them with each other and cities, then you will have an excellent opportunity to trade at lower prices, extract resources with the help of workers, etc. Using any node, you will be able to purchase goods from sellers located in cities. You can also sell unnecessary things! The longer the distance from one node to another, the more money you will earn - we are talking about a distance bonus when selling things. Remember that each time before selling, it is recommended to examine market prices and understand at what point it is best to sell the goods.

The more gamers there are using the same route and the same products as you, the lower their cost will be. To increase the profit from trading, it is better to create more non-standard chains of nodes. Don’t forget that at some points the manager can also be a trader.

How to hire workers

If you used the information above, then you should have the first node at your disposal, located on the Bartali farm. Now you can connect it to the nearest city and hire your first worker. Once you do this, you will start receiving potatoes and will be able to produce beer. To hire, you need to find a character who is a foreman. In Velia the foreman's name is Santo Manzi. To find foremen in other cities, use the NPC search function near the mini-map and select the image of “workers” in the window that appears.

Click on the "Hire Worker" command to see a random character that you can use by spending 5 energy. It could be anyone - a giant, a man, a goblin. In most cases, the worker will have standard characteristics, but with some luck you may see a specialist, expert and craftsman. If you don't like the worker the game offers you, you can try your luck again for an additional 5 units of energy.

In addition, to hire a new worker, you must have one free place to live. From the very beginning, only one such place will be available to you in any city. To get more, you will have to buy houses. But that’s not all, because you will also need silver. A worker with standard parameters will cost you 2500-3000 silver, so it’s not worth spending energy on hiring him until you check that you have enough of this resource and have free space.

Workers can be purchased from other gamers. You can sell your specialists to them using the “Worker Auction” function. Don’t forget that when purchasing workers, each of them is already assigned to a particular city. Therefore, be careful not to buy a worker in a city you don’t need.

IN Black Desert on nodes You can send registered workers with the rank of master and any special skills. To hire them, you will have to collect 500 reputation units and spend about 15,000 silver. These resources need to be given to a certain character located somewhere in the capital. On the map, such NPCs are marked with markers in the form of a “grocery cart”.

If you are trying to spend a lot of time in the game, then the best option would be to hire goblins, who work very quickly, spending their stamina at the same speed. They will need to be constantly monitored. Therefore, you need to be in the game for a large amount of time. If you spend little time in the game, then you will need giants. They have high endurance, but will work slowly. As you understand, people have average parameters between goblins and giants. But one thing is that their luck is higher, so they will be the best option if you are going to do a job for which you can get an improved result. An example would be the making of weapons or armor.

Black stone is one of the most critical resources Black Desert Online. They are constantly needed to enchant weapons. In this guide, I will tell you how to get free black stones completely free of charge if you have extra influence points with you.

What is it like?

Throughout the game, you probably noticed that you can rent items in the game. In order to rent an item, you need influence points. The same principle is used to obtain black stones.

There are 3 NPCs in the game that give out the “Adventurer’s Seal” item, each with their own stamp. By activating the seal, you will automatically complete the task required to obtain the black stone.

The whole process of obtaining a black stone:

Rent a stamp from the NPC
Activate printing (right-click on it)
Submit the task to the NPC and receive the stone
If desired, return the seal and get influence points back

Character Locations

1) Igor Bartelli, mayor of the city of Velia. The cost of renting a seal is 20 free influence points. For completing the task you will receive one black armor stone.

2) Jardine Doukas, chamberlain of the city of Heidel. The cost of renting a seal is 60 free influence points. For completing the task you will receive one black weapon stone.

3) Basquin, warehouse manager of the city of Calpheon. The cost of renting a seal is 100 free influence points. For completing the task, you will receive one black weapon stone and one black armor stone.

Note: the seal can only be taken once per day. If you took a seal for 20 points, then you will no longer be able to take other seals for the current day.

In Black Desert, most of the gameplay is based on certain indicators. One of these is influence points. Interaction with the outside world, the ability to build houses, establish trade routes, improve weapons and many other factors depend on them. This guide will help you figure out how to earn influence points and how to use them.

Influence points are the main resource in BDO for those who want to increase their production industry, build trade routes and enjoy the game to the fullest. There are several ways to earn this “currency”. After all, in fact, points can safely be called a currency, since for them you can build a house, hire workers and do a number of other actions. Or rather, this cannot be done without them, even if you have a sufficient amount of silver.

How to earn influence points

There are several ways to get points to effectively play Black Desert. Let's look at how to restore and earn influence points:

Completing various quests. The easiest and fastest way to get these points is to start completing quests. At first, he is probably the only one, so we recommend taking on all the simple quests. Don't worry that you won't be able to complete it. After all, there are tasks in which you just need to meet and talk with someone, catch fish, bring an item, and so on. Over time, the difficulty of tasks will increase, and earning points will become more difficult.
You can quickly pump up influence points by completing difficult tasks. For example, for the quest “Blood of the Sage” you can immediately get 130 points. The more difficult the task, the more points you will be given for it. But you should be careful when choosing such missions. Are you confident that you can complete the task? Test your skills and equipment before going on a mission. Also make sure you have enough knowledge.
At the start of the game, another way to quickly get new points is to communicate with NPCs. You should approach those with whom you have not yet communicated. They are marked on the map with a gray icon. In addition to the fact that you will receive a new acquaintance and, possibly, valuable information, you will also be offered influence points. There are few of them, but still nice.
If you participate in protecting the camp from mobs, there is a high probability of receiving a special “Defense Badge” award from the NPC. It can be exchanged for the necessary points, but the exchange consumes a small amount of energy.

These are the main methods that allow you to quickly restore and gain influence points for an effective game in BDO.

Why do you need influence points?

As we said earlier, this is the main resource that allows you to create a manufacturing and trading industry. If you decide not only to kill enemies and loot mobs, then you will probably need this option to achieve your goals. Any type of crafting will require them. Let's look at where these points are used; this is for example:

Activation of trade and transport hubs. To activate a node, you need to invest a certain number of influence points into it. As a rule, it depends on the degree of development of the territory. Nodes that have sources of resource collection, such as wood, ore, food and others, often require additional investment of influence points. To create successful trade routes, these points are of paramount importance.
Rent of rare items. In Black Desert, it is possible to rent rare items from NPCs of control nodes. This is useful equipment that will help you actively develop your character. To get such an item, you need to pay influence points. After use, you can exchange it back. Remember that these points are distributed to all characters on the account. If you decide to delete a character who rented an item, try to return it first.
Buying a property. In addition to silver, the construction of any building will require a certain number of influence points. Moreover, the larger the room and the higher its level, the greater the number of points required. So, you can build production workshops to obtain various items, barracks for your workers, warehouses for things, and so on. You can also buy your own home. It is needed to restore energy points.

As you can see, this resource is actively used. In addition, the Black Desert developers tried to make sure that you cannot play normally without these points. After all, the point of the game is not to reach level 50. An experienced player can achieve this result in a couple of days, while an inexperienced player can achieve this result in a few weeks. The developers made sure that each player completes quests, goes through interesting campaigns and enjoys the game.

The best quests for pumping up influence points

Many beginners think that they need to complete all the quests in order to get good points. When leveling up your character, this is, of course, important. But when you reach level 50-60, you simply won’t need to complete all the quests. At the same time, no one has canceled the indicator of influence points; it is still important. Here are a number of quests that we recommend completing regularly to level up and gain influence points:

Pipe cleaning in Calpheon. The pipe needs to be cleaned; done in less than a minute, gives 80 influence points.
Coarse medicinal herb. 80 points for a task in which you need to collect coarse grass. Other rewards are also given.
A happy ending. You need to catch a rabbit and get 80 points.
Quest "Chick-chick-chick". You need to catch a chicken and get 100 influence points. Performed, like the previous ones, in Calpheon.
Quest “Problems in the market”. Catch the thief and get 80 points and other rewards.
Stupid lamb. Catch a lamb and get 80 influence points and other rewards.
Carrot and stick. Deliver food to the hungry and get 80 influence points.
Repairing a vessel for a healing decoction. Issued by Valentin, the headman of Florin. You need 5 lumber to repair a barrel. In exchange, you will receive 5 processed stones and 130 experience. The quest is given in Florin.
Weeding with the help of a pig. Eliminate 3 weeds in the customer's garden and receive 120 influence points. Quest in Florin.

There are a lot of such tasks on the map, and they are given daily. Therefore, just go through them and get enough influence points for an active game.

Even though your character is supposed to be all-powerful, you should learn how to get influence points in Black Desert - most of the gameplay is based on them.

We select and use

It’s very easy to get these very points - you need. You can take them from different artisans, then you will receive tasks according to your profession. If you don’t want to grind the seeds, you can talk to the Black Spirit - he will guide you along the storyline.

The more difficult the tasks, the more influence points you will be given for completing them. This way you can get 130 points.

If you are too lazy to complete missions or need some points, then chat with other characters - they are marked on the map with gray figures. These are NPCs you haven't interacted with yet. They can provide useful information.

Why is all this needed?

The use of these points is wide - building a house, laying out trade and craft routes, and so on. In fact, you won't be able to complete the game properly without them.

As you can see, the developers made sure that you not only complete the tasks.

I'm glad I told you how to get influence points in Black Desert. This is a really important thing that will help a lot in your adventures.
