Black Desert - Energy Point Expansions

Energy point expansion

The game has a rather interesting research system. This system is not made for show and not only for fans of roleplay and reading lore and quests. For all the knowledge about the world, players will be able to increase their number of energy points.

Let's see how it works exactly:

So, there are so-called energy points in the game

*2nd stripe with muscle symbol*

What are they needed for:
- For gathering (stone, plants, cutting trees)
- To communicate with NPCs, raise reputation with them
- For hiring slaves (each conversation with a mercenary costs 5 points)
- To get buffs from NPCs, or a dialogue to get additional. knowledge

At the start, we have only 10 points. But their number can be increased. And we expand them by gaining knowledge about the world

All the knowledge that we get during the game can be viewed in a special window. To do this, click H


Knowledge is divided into several broad categories:
- NPC
- Locations
- Islands
- Animals and monsters
- Stories/stories
- Knowledge (tbc)
- ???
- ???

Further, in each of these categories there are small groups by type: Residents in the Northeast, Residents on the Fishing Island, Islands, Territories of Balenos, and so on.
Each group may have a different number. For example:

Animals, presumably Balenos area:

Locations: (Presumably: Balenos)

NPC Circle

As you can see, some of the circles are with ???. These are the NPCs, living creatures, locations that have not yet been explored.
So, at the first acquaintance with the NPC, coming to some territory, killing mobs, we gain knowledge.



*Similar signs pop up on the screen when obtaining new knowledge*

And we come to the most interesting. For studying all elements in each group (in other words: circle) we increase the maximum number of energy points (from 2-4).

It looks like this:

When communicating with NPCs, there is a sign on the left that shows a list of NPCs (or mobs). These are exactly the same groups that I wrote about above.

Here, for example, I studied all the required NPCs (and accordingly they gave me 2 energy points)

And here it is not enough studied to start a mini-game. From the screen you can see that I need to get at least 4 knowledge (and it is written where and by whom)

Knowledge is also given by chatting with NPCs. This requires energy points (screen above). The dialogue can be opened with an increase in reputation (blue icon with!)

Here you can see which NPCs and mobs are in which groups and their location on the map: http://black.inven.co.kr/dataninfo/card/
In general terms, everything.

Bottom line: Exploring the world is an important part, especially for crafters.

Are you running around the world and still don't understand how energy recovery works in Black Desert? Too bad, because without this understanding you won't be able to fight effectively.

Energy is the value of the character, which will be spent on almost all actions: communication with NPCs, completing tasks, extracting resources, buffs, trading, and pumping skills.

How to find out how much energy is there?

This parameter is indicated in the upper left corner of the screen (between skill and influence points) next to the level and is indicated by a fraction. For example, writing 50/100 would mean that you have 50 units of energy out of a possible 100.

When you create a new hero, it is assigned 0/10 by default.

How to replenish stocks?

There are several ways to restore energy points:

1) If the player is online, then 1 unit of energy is replenished every 3 minutes. In a situation where the user is out of the game - 1 point per hour.

2) Fulfillment of NPS orders. The quest to collect resources gives your hero 5 units, but at the same time requires a certain amount of energy. If the parameter is not spent on completing the task (daily), 3 energy points are awarded. The loss of the latter can be circumvented by buying an item at the auction or crafting it yourself.

3) Go to the tavern and drink a glass of wine. For this action, 3 units of the parameter are charged, but 10k silver is withdrawn in return.

4) Restore energy with . At the moment, the most effective and popular dish is fish chips. The latter restore 5 energy points.

Now you know how to use the energy recovery in Black Desert to your advantage. Nobody can stand before you.


Developers of free online games constantly go to all sorts of tricks to limit the actions of players. Various limits are introduced that stretch the time spent by the player exploring the world and completing all sorts of tasks.

Pearl Abyss did not deviate from this principle - the function of the limiter in the game is performed by energy points. If you have played, then you will surely compare energy points with work points and draw hasty conclusions. In some ways, these systems are indeed similar, but they are very different.

What are energy points for?

  • Gathering and crafting resources, cooking and alchemy. Mining ore, picking berries and herbs, cooking and all kinds of potions - all this requires energy points.
  • Communication with NPCs, greetings and theft. Changing relationships with NPCs also requires energy points. Communication with NPCs requires 2 energy points. The communication process will be described in more detail in the knowledge guide. For each greeting, you spend 3 energy points, and in return you gain 3 friendship points with this NPC. You can also try to steal an item from an NPC. This action costs 3 energy points. If you are lucky, you will receive a valuable item: for example, some kind of decoration for the house. But if you are noticed, then the attitude of the NPC towards you will deteriorate sharply (-100 friendship points), and your karma will decrease slightly.
  • Bargaining and exploration of prices in other nodes. If you want to sell a product at a higher price or find out the prices for the selected product in other nodes, then you will have to spend energy. All these actions are performed only at the NPC "Merchant".
  • Getting some knowledge. Some knowledge is unique and you need to give a certain number of energy points to get it.
  • global chat. Each message in the "World" chat consumes one energy point.
  • Skills training. If you learn skills not from a trainer, but by yourself, then for each study you will have to pay 3 energy points.
  • Random worker's choice. You can get a random worker from the NPC Manager, but each new worker costs 5 energy points.
  • Fishing. If you want to increase the chance of getting a more expensive fish, then you can cast a "stronger" bait or, to put it simply, spend a certain amount of energy points on this process.

The above are only the main actions for which you will spend energy points. The game has a wide variety of events that are worth spending the energy of the character and free time.

Recovery of energy points

There are several ways to restore energy:

  • Passive. Your character recovers one point of energy every 3 minutes for being in the game. If you are logged out, your character will regenerate 1 energy point per hour.
  • With the help of a bed. If you put a bed at home and lie down on it, then the process of restoring energy points will speed up by 2 times, i.e. you will receive 2 energy points for every 3 minutes.
  • For completing assignments. By completing certain quests (usually dailies and crafting quests), you can receive energy points as a reward for successfully completing the quest.

Increasing Energy Points

When you create your first character, you automatically get a supply of 10 energy points (0/10). At the same time, each new character does not have available energy points when created.

You can expand your supply of energy points by gaining knowledge about the world around you. All the knowledge that your characters on your account have received is in the "Knowledge" window (hot key H). From this we can conclude that the limit of energy points is assigned to the account, and not the character.

When new knowledge is acquired, an alert is displayed at the top of the screen.


As soon as you accumulate the required amount of knowledge in any area, you will receive an alert for an increase in energy.

There is one most important resource in the Black Desert game, thanks to which you can do most of the different operations - this is energy points. The appearance of such a value in the game is due to the rapid activity of players to develop their character. Therefore, the developers came up with a factor that allows them to slow down the overall process of developing fans of the game a little, in order to slow down the raising of the cap. Thus, we have a strip of character energy in the game.

Initially, after the appearance of a new character in the BDO world, the scale of his energy points is filled up to 10 units.

What do you need energy points for:

  1. In cooking and crafting items;
  2. In the process of collecting all resources;
  3. Hiring workers;
  4. Increasing the efficiency of income of trade and transport hubs;
  5. Increasing relations with NPCs;
  6. Discovery of knowledge;
  7. Interaction with game objects;
  8. To get buffs from NPCs
  9. Opening new tasks.

The consumption of energy points at the time of the above actions is calculated differently. For example, in order to collect any resource, be it wood or a plant, only 1 point of energy is spent. Also, 1 point in the cooking process for one unit of the dish will be consumed by itself. But if you do research on secret knowledge, or open new quests, you may need about a dozen energy points.

How to increase the number of energy points in Black Desert and their limit?

There are two ways to raise energy points - active and passive. The first method does not bring a strong effect, but it is very necessary. Here you need to engage in an active life in the game. That is, you need to kill new monsters, explore new territories, complete many quests, make friends with NPCs, listen to various rumors, gossip, and so on. However, note that these points apply to all characters within your account.

If we talk about the passive way of raising energy points, then here you just need to enter the Black Desert world as a character and go about your business. As a result, you yourself will see how the scale of energy points is gradually filled. Recovery of 1 point of energy occurs 1 time in 3 minutes. At the same time, whatever you do, you just need to be in the game.

Tip: Many players don't like doing different quests. Therefore, try to combine business with pleasure. You can do classic trading or fishing. After all, you also need to spend energy points to catch fish, but believe me, fishing in BDO brings a good income. And for those who have created a large trading empire, energy points can be invested in each node, which will undoubtedly increase the efficiency of your workers and the classic trading process.

Energy V Black Desert- this is the character parameter indicated in the upper left corner of the screen, next to the level. Energy is spent on almost all actions in the game: crafting, talking with NPCs, stealing, pumping relationships with NPCs, buffs, gaining knowledge, trading, collecting resources, fishing, and even pumping skills without a trainer, you spend 2 energy per skill. And this is not a complete list.

The amount of energy is indicated through a fraction of the form: Current amount of energy / Maximum amount of energy. It sits between your character's Skill Points and Influence Points. For example, in the screenshot below, I have 253 out of 253 energies.

When you create your first character, your maximum energy is 30, and the current amount is 0 (that is, 0/30).

How to restore Energy?

Energy in Black Desert is restored in several ways:

  • Of course, 1 energy every 3 minutes if your character is online or 1 energy every hour if your character is offline.
  • When doing quests. Standard dailies that don't cost energy usually restore 3 energy. Crafting tasks restore 5 energy, but at the same time they themselves require energy costs to complete. In some cases, these energy costs can be directly or indirectly bypassed, for example, by buying the items needed for the task at the auction.
  • Bought a glass of wine at the bar. Wine costs 50k silver, restores 3 energy.
  • If you sleep in a bed, then the rate of energy regeneration increases.
  • When you open a chest with pearls purchased in the premium shop, you also get a +1 energy regeneration buff for a while.

Several important conclusions follow from the points above:

  1. Without buffs in one day (24 hours) you will get a maximum of 480 energy, everything above this will have to be farmed with dailies or food.
  2. The maximum energy level must be at least 160, in which case you can leave your character for the night (8 hours) in some corner of the location and in the morning he will still receive energy, and not stand idle, having accumulated it to the maximum. In other words, if you spend a lot of energy and allow yourself the luxury of sleep, your energy cap should be at least (hours of sleep) times 20.

Beds

Beds in Black Desert is a very important point that deserves a separate subsection. The bed can be installed in the house and, surprisingly, sleep on it.

Beds only work if the character is online.

When a character lies on a bed, the rate of energy recovery increases depending on the type of bed.

Bed Energy
per tick
Description
Bed from Velia +1 Purchased in Velia from Silius for 50 Amity and 24k Silver. To purchase, you need 500+ friendship with Silius.
Bed from Heidel +1 Bought in Heidel from Rubios for 50 Amity and 28k Silver. To purchase, you need 1000+ friendship with Rubius.
Bed from Calpheon +1
Bed (Velia) +1 Crafted by workers at Velia's workshop.
Bed (Heidel) +1 Crafted by workers to Heidel's workshop.
Bed (Calpheon) +1 Crafted by workers at the Calpheon workshop.
wooden bed +2
goblin bed +2 Bought in the store for 250 pearls.
Bone-decorated bed +2 Bought in the store for 250 pearls.
Cowskin bed ?
Wool-decorated bed ? Can be rewarded for "Play time per account 1000 hours!"
snakeskin bed ? Can be rewarded for "Play time per account 1000 hours!"

By default, you restore 1 energy "per tick", but if you are lying on the bed (+2) and you have the buff from the recent opening of the chest with pearls (+1), then in the end you will restore 4 energy every 3 minutes.

How to increase the maximum amount of Energy in Black Desert?

Maximum energy is increased Knowledge(key h on the keyboard). Knowledge divided into collections. For each collection collected, you get a plus to your maximum energy supply. When you collect half of the collection you get 1 energy, and when you collect the entire collection you get all the rest relying on non-energy.

The amount of energy per collection of knowledge depends on the total amount of knowledge in the collection. Approximately for every 6 knowledge - one energy, but not less than 2 energy per collection. Example:

  • There are 18 knowledge in the collection, 18/6 = 3. So you will get 3 energy.
  • There are 17 knowledge in the collection, 17/6 = 2.8(3). So for this collection you will receive 2 energy (an integer when divided by 6).
  • There are 45 knowledge in the collection, 45/6 = 7.5. So for this collection you will receive 7 energy.
  • There is 1 knowledge in the collection (Yes, there are such ones too). The minimum amount of energy per collection = 2, which means you will receive 2 energy for just one knowledge.

When you create a character, you have 30 maximum energy. Assuming that you collected almost all the knowledge in the location during its passage, your maximum energy will look something like this:

Location + to energy
per location
And that energy
New character 30 30
balenos + 35 65
Serendia + 75 140
Calpheon + 140 280
Media + ?? ??

All the data in the table is approximate, as it strongly depends on factors such as luck in catching rare mobs and the time you spent on leveling up your relationship with the NPC.

Max Energy is a general parameter per family, or, more precisely, per realm, while Current Energy each character has their own. That is, all characters of the same account, created on the same server, have the same Maximum Energy supply, since all these characters have a common list of Knowledge found, but at the same time, this energy is accumulated and spent by each of them completely independently.

In other words, you can upgrade one character on the realm to 250+ energy, then create first level characters on the same realm and they will also have 0/250 energy. In a week or more, all of these characters will gain 300 energy while offline while you play as the main character. And then you can strengthen their energy for resource extraction, crafting or obtaining any knowledge for the main character. Therefore, be sure to create the maximum number of characters on your account so that they sit and accumulate extra energy.

If you create a character on another server, everything will be the same there, you will again start from 0/30.

What is Knowledge?

Knowledge in Black Desert is a kind of analogue of lore in other games. But unlike most games in Black Desert, they exist not only to create an atmosphere of the living world. Without knowledge you won't have energy, and without energy you won't have most aspects of the game, so knowledge is essential for everyone.

Almost everything in the game has its own knowledge (a little history). Every location, city, farm, NPC, monster, crafting recipe, incident, fish caught, milestone, quest, or even trade item. At the same time, not all knowledge increases your energy, but only knowledge from certain sections.

All knowledge is divided into several large categories, each of which is divided into subsections, these subsections are further divided into smaller sections, and so on. There are currently the following major categories:

People Give energy. Here are the NPCs that you met or learned about from other NPCs.
terrain Give energy . Here are the various parts of the locations that you have visited or learned about from the NPCs.
Islands Give energy . Here is knowledge about small islands and their inhabitants, managing trade nodes, and so on.
Ecology Give energy . Here is knowledge about various mobs either killed by you personally or described to you by one of the NPCs.
Adventures Give energy . Knowledge obtained mainly for completing chains of quests. One of the most difficult to obtain, but they also give a lot of energy.
Science Give energy . Here are the various scientific knowledge you received from the NPCs. Stories, books read, races, and so on.
crafts They don't give energy. Here are the crafting recipes and the resources you have obtained.
Introduction to Black Desert They don't give energy . Here, basically, training material and non-game NPCs.
Trade They don't give energy . Here are the knowledge about the various products that you have studied. When studying the goods are destroyed.

Knowledge Ranks

Some knowledge, for example from the Ecology and Trade sections, have ranks. The rand of knowledge is denoted by a Latin letter in brackets. There are 5 ranks in total: C ,B,A ,A+ And S. Each of them passively increases certain characteristics.

Ecology Trade
C Allows you to see the mob's HP. ??
B Increases your defense against mob attacks. ??
A Increases your damage against a mob. ??
A+ Apparently, the same as A but more. ??
S Increases experience gained per kill and increases drop chance. ??

Knowledge with ranks can proc you with any rank. Of course, the lower the rank, the higher the chance of getting it, so you will have most of the knowledge C or B rank. It is impossible to increase the current rank, but you can "delete" knowledge and get it again, in the hope that a higher rank will curse you.

How to remove knowledge?

Removal of knowledge is a separate option available to NPCs. For example, in Calpheon, Annalisa, located in the Calpheon Valkyries library, will help you remove knowledge.

Select the desired option, as in the screenshot above. Select knowledge from the list and delete it. Removing one knowledge costs 10 energy.

Search for knowledge

Some knowledge is well hidden, some is not so difficult to find, but in any case, the problem for you will be their quantity. At the moment in Black Desert there are more than 2000 pieces of knowledge alone that give energy and their number is constantly growing. New sections, collections and knowledge are added to existing collections.

If you have already collected a collection, and then the developers added new knowledge to it, then you still have the full bonus to energy from this collection, but beginners will have to look for one more knowledge.

Most of the knowledge is obtained from NPCs through dialogues or by increasing relations with them, which makes pumping friendship points with NPCs one of the most necessary processes in the development of your character. You can read in detail (very detailed) about how to quickly and with minimal energy to pump attitude and friendship points with NPCs.

According to the knowledge itself and its search, I will make separate large guide tables. A list of all ready-made guides can be found in the table of contents of the article.
