How do I get pets in BDO?
Black Desert Online pets are primarily obtained through the Pearl Shop, which you can access by pressing F3. Each pet costs between 900 and 1100 pearls. After purchasing your chosen pet, you’ll need to register it. Simply go to your inventory, click on the pet token, and you’ll be able to register it and give it a name. When you want to use your pet for looting or picking items, click on its icon. You can also view all your pets by going to the “Pets” tab. Pets usually mimic your character’s actions.
How do I level my pets?
Pets gain experience by being fed, which is essential for their growth and development. As they level up, they become more efficient at looting or gathering items. Pets get hungry and lose stamina over time, so regular feeding is crucial. You can level pets faster by putting them on Agile, which reduces hunger levels quickly. Most pets have four basic skills and a unique special ability.
What is pet breeding?
Pet breeding involves combining two pets of the same species to create a higher-tier pet with improved skills and abilities. Each tier consists of ten levels, and as pets progress through the levels, they become more advanced. Bred pets often have better traits like faster looting, enhanced fishing speed, reduced death penalties, improved karma restoration, and increased talent percentages. However, the downside is that the parent pet dies during the breeding process.
Pet Talents and Abilities
Pets play a crucial role in grinding, but they don’t all have the same talents and abilities. Some are better suited for specific activities than others. For example, cats, dogs, and hawks possess special skills that make them more effective in certain situations. Hedgehogs, on the other hand, excel in Life Skills. Each pet has a different pick-up speed and hunger gauge level. Pets with higher hunger gauges require more food to replenish their energy.
How do I make pet food?
A hungry pet can’t use its skills effectively. When you first purchase a pet, you’ll receive 20 units of Nutritious Feed, which restores stamina. You can then buy cheap food from stable keepers or purchase Nutritious Feed from the Pearl Store. While purchasing in-game food is convenient, it can be expensive, especially if you have many pets. A more economical option is to craft pet food yourself, saving you money and Loyal Points for other uses. There are two main types of crafted pet food: Good Feed and Organic Feed. Good Feed restores 20% of your pet’s hunger, making it a vital resource for keeping them active. It’s easier to make than Organic Feed, as it requires easily obtainable ingredients. Crafting Good Feed also provides a boost to your character’s Life Skill.
Cooking Good Feed
To cook in BDO, you need a residence where you can store cooking utensils and materials. Here’s the recipe for a single batch of Good Feed:
- 4 units of any type of flour
- 3 units of water from a vendor
- 1 unit of fresh fish
- 2 units of dried fish
- 6 units of any type of meat
Once you have gathered the ingredients, simply put them in a cooking tool box and press “Start.” Stick to the ratio for the best results. You can repeat the process continuously to make more batches until your ingredients are used up.
How about getting fish?
Fresh fish can only be obtained by catching it yourself. The Good Feed recipe calls for one fresh fish and two dried fish. You can buy dried fish from the market or have your workers gather them from fishing nodes.
What about making flour?
Flour is made by grinding grains, such as barley, wheat, and corn. You can have your workers gather these grains or gather them yourself using grain nodes found on farms around the Black Desert.
How do I get meat?
Meat can be purchased from the market or gathered yourself. Lamb meat is the easiest and cheapest to obtain. You can use a butchering knife to harvest meat after killing a lamb. If you need large quantities of meat, it’s best to preorder it from the market. You can also find meat in the mountains between Serendia and Baleros.
What about getting water?
Water is very affordable and can be purchased from Cooking Merchants.
Conclusion
Black Desert Online pets are invaluable for the grinding process. Feeding your pets is essential to maintain their stamina, and crafting pet food is a cost-effective way to ensure they stay active. When choosing your pets, prioritize those with special skills and superior abilities to enhance your grinding capabilities.
