Items to Store (New Player) Guide

Introduction

Black Desert has lots of strange items that it throws at you in the early parts of the game. Players are often left confused and don’t know what certain items are or whether they are important.

This breakdown lists common important items you are likely to come into contact with if you are first starting out and explains what they are used for, with links to additional resources to find out more about the game’s systems.

If you are unsure of a certain item, I recommend searching for the item in the BDOlytics Database. This will tell you the basic information about the item and may tell you what it is used for or how to get it. If you are still confused, feel free to pop into our Discord Server. You can post a screenshot of any items you want to know about and we will answer as soon as possible. You can also contact us through the Contact form on the “About Us” page or through social media.
