Tip: Selling Items

There are a few different ways to sell different items in Black Desert Online. Knowing the differences can make you a lot more money.

Trade Items


These are bought and sold by traders. Fish and some items dropped by monsters are trade items, and can only be sold to traders.

For trade items, it's important to connect all the nodes between the place of origin, and the trader you're selling to. If they're not connected, your base price will only be 30% of normal.

You can raise the price even more if you sell far away from place of origin, and if you do the "bargaining" game (which is mostly luck, as far as I can tell).

Vendor Trash


These are junk items. They say "can be sold to a vendor for a low amount". And that's pretty much all they're good for.

Marketplace Items 


These items have a "Marketplace Information" section in their description, with a HIGH and LOW sale price. These items can be bought and sold on the Marketplace (a.k.a. auction house). All equipment falls into this category.


Exchangeable Items

A certain amount of these items can be turned in to an NPC for a reward. Sometimes it's more money than they'd normally sell for. Sometimes it's other items, some type of experience, or knowledge.


Many of these items even have several different NPCs that want them, and different items to exchange for.





Right-click one of these items to bring up a mini-menu that lets you target the exchange NPCs, or track the amount of the item that you've collected.



This way, when you're trying to farm enough of the item to turn in, you get an easy counter right next to your mini-map, so you don't have to keep opening your inventory.















Bonus Tip: Want to know more about an item? Just Shift-left-click on it to bring up its wiki entry.
