As you grow stronger in Black Desert Online, you can begin to participate in various Player Versus Player battles. These engagements can take many forms, from one on one battles, to large scale castle sieges. Here is a small peak at what’s in store!




Do you enjoy random teams facing off to claim victory? Red Battlefield is perfect for you! You can sign up for the fight by pressing the Red Battlefield button on your main menu. You’ll be placed in a group with random players and transported to a special island where two teams can compete for points. What is your prize for winning? Collect Red Seals to receive powerful Magical Crystals and a myriad of other fantastic rewards!


If you prefer cooperating with friends and allies to decimate your enemies, you can start a Guild War. For a small amount of Silver, guilds can declare war on one another. Take to the fields for large scale battles, or engage in guerrilla warfare to ensure success!



Should your Guild wish to be more competitive, you can challenge the might of multiple guilds in Sieges. There are two forms Sieges take: Node Wars and Conquest Wars. Victory grants a Guild one week of ownership and Taxes to fuel their Guild Funds.


There's also an open world flagging system which will allow you to attack any player above the level of 50 who is not in a safe zone. There are consequences, however, for attacking another player this way. Every monster you kill grants you Karma, up to a maximum of 300,000. Attacking or killing players and their mounts costs Karma.

If you allow your Karma to drop below zero, you are permanently flagged to other players. NPC’s will attack you when you try to enter town as well. If you continue to lose karma, at a maximum of one million, you can lose Magic Crystals or trade items from your inventory when another player kills you. You can take refuge in the desert, however, where other bandits have created sanctuaries free of petty laws.




There is one last area where you can attack any player, with no consequences. Small arenas reside near Capitals, and anyone who steps into its boundaries is automatically flagged for PvP. Dying in an arena has no negative consequences and a player can instantly resurrect at no cost. These serve as an ideal place for players to train their skills and practice for sieges.

Will you have what it takes!?

Are epic, large scale fights your interest, or do you prefer grouping up with your friends to take on smaller challenges? When facing bosses in Black Desert Online, you get to choose your battle! Check out the different types of bosses you can face, and some of their more interesting traits.




World bosses are challenging, and require a large group of players to ensure victory. Their rewards are worth the effort, however, as you will see! Let’s take look at a few of the World Bosses you can battle.



The Lord of Corruption, Kzarka, is said to have the destructive might of a god. He was sealed away centuries ago by an unknown sacred organization. During the turmoil of the war, a suspicious group took control of Kzarka’s Shrine, with the intent to resurrect him. Heidel has sent troops to retake the shrine, but every attempt has been met with failure.



Kzarka’s most powerful and deadly attack is his Breath. It can devastate large amounts of players, if you get caught in its path. When you defeat Kzarka, he has a chance to drop a Sealed Weapon Box, which you can open on any one character to receive a Kzarka weapon for your class.




This creature, shaped like a worm, is able to move only because an Ancient Shard embedded in it’s body functioned like a heart. It is said that Ancient Kutum used to live inside the Scarlet Sand Chamber, but when his heart fell silent, the doors sealed shut and the Chamber disappeared. Once again, however, the thunderous sound of Ancient Kutum’s heart has reopened the Scarlet Sand Chamber, allowing archaeologists and explorers to find its entrance.



Ancient Kutum will challenge you, testing your reflexes and adaptability. Dodge him while he burrows under the ground and speeds across his chamber, only to errupt from the ground, damage anyone close enough to his location. Kutum’s has an even more devastating attack, however, so be prepared! Much like Kzarka, Ancient Kutum has a chance to drop a Sealed Weapon Box. However, his weapon is a sub-weapon or offhand.





While Field Bosses do not require quite as many players as World Bosses, the fights can still be intense! There are several Field Bosses you can defeat, each offering rewards like Silver and Black Stones. In addition to these rewards, specific bosses have a chance to drop rare armor pieces.



This creature was created to purify Black Crystal and its origin is completely unknown. The Dim Tree Spirit is hostile toward unnatural beings, including humans, and prevents them from entering the forest. It is terrified by fire, however, and whenever a flame is present, the Dim Tree Spirit will wait quietly until the fire dies out.



The Dim Tree Spirit is a fearsome enemy, using his massive arm-like appendages to knock players down, and deliver lethal attacks if you are not able to dodge out of the way, or block them. If you are able to triumph, however, he has a chance to drop a special chest piece of high quality.




Donatt was once the Chief of Glish. No one is sure if his is alive or dead, and many people still consider him missing. He had a deep fascination with Alchemy, second only to his greed, which caused villagers to fear and avoid him. As time wore on, Donatt’s mind started to fade. He caused a horrible explosion and as he finally finished his descent into madness, offered his soul for the Black Crystal to consume. This changed Donatt into a grotesque monster, built from the corpses and debris found around Glish. The monster is now known as the Giant Mudster and rumors suggest he still resides in the ruins of Old Glish.



This gruesome creature will attempt to crush anyone who approaches him, however he has more sinister attacks. Beware the spikes he summons from the ground, and make sure to get out of their range if you want to survive. Even long range players have something to fear once Giant Mudster burrows into the ground. Once he finds his target, he will surge up from the ground, intent on their destruction.



Scroll bosses are smaller engagements that can be challenged by a single player, or a group. These scrolls are rewards from daily and weekly quests given to you by the Black Spirit. Right clicking the scroll will take you to the bosses location, where you can spawn it. Spawning the boss will automatically grant the summoner a quest for extra rewards like Black Stones and Hunter’s Seal exchange items.



There are a variety of challenges for you to overcome, stories for you to tell, and rewards to be won. Do you have what it takes?

In Black Desert Online, horses are an integral part of any Adventurer’s travel plans. Their speed and stamina make them ideal for traveling long distances, and with the right equipment, you can even ride your steed into battle!

You can purchase Horse Emblems from Stable Merchants, however, these are not ideal for long term use. To get faster, stronger horses, Taming is the best option. With a few coils of rope and sugar lumps, you can capture a wild horse, and take it back to your stable. Once you have registered your horse with the Stable Keeper, you have several options.



If you have captured a male and a female, you can breed your horses together to make even better steeds! If Breeding doesn’t appeal to you, you can level your horse, or put it up for sale on the Horse Market. There is even an Imperial Trader who will take horses in exchange for Silver and Imperial Tokens, which you can turn in for fantastic rewards!

In Black Desert Online, Trading does not refer to exchanging items with fellow players. Instead, this is a Life Skill that allows you to buy and sell items called Trade Packs to Trade NPC’s. You can also get trade items from Gathering, Fishing and Crafting, just to name a few.



Each Trade Pack has an origin, letting you know where it came from or was crafted. The farther from the place of origin you sell your Trade Pack, the more profit you gain. To access this bonus, however, you must connect the nodes between the Trade Pack’s Origin and your destination.



In addition to the Distance Bonus, the Market Price is also important to trade. Selling the same Trade Packs to one Trader will cause the Market Price to drop as demand decreases.

Occasionally, you will encounter Trade Events at specific towns. This increases the Market Price of items by 200%, so make sure to keep your eyes open!
