Black Desert - Cooking Guide: Beginner To Guru 

imagine having a tiny fruit stand only for a guy to show up and buy 40,000 paprika and 40,000 apples from you

This guide was super helpful! Just hit master, and on my way to guru. I've watched a bunch of cooking guides, but this one really evolutions everything I needed to know as a new cook, and new to bdo in general. Thank you!

11:20 As a side note, when those spirit stones run out of uses you can grind them up for powder that can be used for repairing a permanent alchemy stone in the future :)

I love how simple and clear its explained! love it!. Been looking for decent guide

great guide!! especially for seasoned players. you covered everything you need to know in great detail.

Played the game for a long time now but still learned so much. Amazing guide !

what an amazing video, its so simple and incredibly helpful for someone who has no idea how to start. Thanks a ton BP!

Awesome guide bro, definitely helped me out, especially with nodes

Bro great guide, you have explained everiything perfectly, im 100% sure that it's understandable for those who never done cooking before

Returning player here that's struggling to afford gear. I really appreciate this guide, especially for you giving specific node recommendations. You deserve every subscriber you have and then some, keep up the great work!

i've been looking for answers and you've given them to me straight away! thank you! ^.^ Subbed!

Bro I have seen lots of tutorial videos. Yours is the one I enjoy the most. Your voice is clear and the energy is great. Loving the content as well. Keep it up!

Holy cow, I was so confused on how to do any life skills everyone kept saying, "watch RU-vid" this was so useful I'm going to see if you have anymore videos like this! Subscribed!

Thank you so much for this guide. Best guide and easy to understand for newbie like me starting to learn about lifeskill cooking in this game. Thank you 😊

you are first which make me undestanding cooking ! ty a lot !!!

hands down the best cookingguide i ve ever seen!

This guide is so helpful, thank you so much. Subbed

Thank you sir. This was very clear and concise. As soon as I finish leveling a few more characters, my long suffering cook will be employed once again to generate some silver! Your video was very helpful.

Best explanation I've found yet thank you!!! Please more!!!!

What a legend you are , keep up the good work !

awesome guide! thank you so much

Really appreciate you. Just started playing and really loving the game and wanna invest time into. I just set up nodes but it's clearly i picked the wrong ones lol.. I LOVE to cook so this guide is awesome and that nice silver adds up.

Awesome guide! Thank you!

Thank you for making this guide! I just hit guru today following your steps!

I can't thank you enough for these videos. I came back to the game after a 3 year break and I am beyond lost lol

Thank you so much bro, very precise!

Great method that was explained in detail, and easy to understand. Go ahead and take my sub.

Very clear and understandable thanks for the guide

Great video man ty! 🤗

Now i'm gonna start lifeskilling and want to do cooking thanks for this video man I can't thank you enough ^^

just got back into the game, couldnt transfer my old account. so this is definitely a good reminder of what to do to start. thanks man appreciate your content

perfect guide, very very veeeery helpfull. tyvm really goodluck

Haha, thanks for mentioning where to turn in the boxes. I had been carrying some of these when I made them through a quest.

DUDE!! YOU'RE THE BEST!! This guide singlehandedly fixed my BDO economy great guide, easy to understand and great vibe!! Keep it up bro!

For sure need more of these videos🤟🎉

You can still cook at heidel if you want c: just buy the fruits and put em in the marketplace storage and get it from your chef character

Thanks man, quality guide, cheers

I see a lot of vids about cooking for beginners and your the first that makes this really super easy to understand, you go straight to each point plus you explain essentials nodes ! Keep going ! ♥

Super helpful guide learned about Valencia nodes :D, already knew a lot but watched it anyways (again)

I'm new to BDO and always avoid life skills in other MMOs but this video actually made me wanna get started with the nodes, gathering and cooking. I wish you had a video for setting up nodes and workers too. This is by far the best cooking video I've seen

Already Guru cooking but still watched it all my man! #FreeSloper

I had no idea about that vender wit the 1 silver TRI GEAR until I saw your video. I been buying and selling gear to run my alts! Wow I have pay more attention. Good video very informative !

A lot of good points!

Very Nice Video for Beginners!

thank you for the excellent content! i'm back to cooki right now (already master 17)

already doing this but watched it anyways! more content pls sir !

Bro this is so much help

it's refreshing to see relevant, up-to-date videos concerning lifeskilling. i appreciate that you cover the realistic aspects of cooking, such as workers, important nodes, and even strong (accessible) recipes like DPW/Fig Pie. One of my guildmates sent me your video, to show me the ease in profiting from cooking (more specifically, profiting from Guru Imperial boxes, packed with meals purchased direct from marketplace) One topic I feel should receive more attention is the silver cost / setup requirements of being a chef in BDO. I don't feel like the entry point is as simple as your video title would lead a new player to believe. On a brand new character, you need to have these ingredient nodes discovered & connected. You will need to have the energy, knowledge, hired and leveled workers (relevant ones +thoughtfully placed). "Assuming TET Loggia" is already a 1.6b silver entry cost, following your guide. According to your response to math in your comment section, Guru1 asks for 1 million Pickled Vegetable Crafts. If we're buying from Milano at 850silver, that's 6.8 billion silver spent on Paprika alone, not considering silver spent on strawberries (if you are making your own Vinegar/ not buying direct from marketplace). Advanced Cooking Utensils will run for 900 crafts, and (just gonna be rough with the math here), 1mil PV crafts will require 1111 utensils (at 1mil per, if you buy direct). 1.1bil for utensils. There are so many other expenses and directions I could try to cover, but I think i'm being long-winded here. I am sorry for that. I just feel like the "450mil per week, no work!" is a bit misleading. Cooking may be one of the simplest, most productive + profitable lifeskills that a beginner start off with (even after byproduct nerfs), but i'd be lying if i said it didn't cost a chunk of change to start up. If you made it this far... thank you for reading, friendo. I truly do appreciate people sharing their BDO knowledge with others (especially lifeskillers, hehe)

Best damn cooking guide on the internet

Great video, thanks a lot.

VEry helpful, thank you so much!

I would like add that even though you can get 250% price everywhere regardless of distance, you can get additional exp to Trading skill depending on distance. For example, I always cook at Olvia and make the boxes there, then I ship the boxes from Olvia to Duvencrune where I turn in my boxes. It's just 900+k per 600 boxes but it's worth the exp. I leveled my Trading this way.

Great video. I recently came back to bdo but on console & now that we have Loggia & Manos ill be dedicating my self to pure LifeSkilling. This helps so much

thank u . grate video

I'm almost guru thanks to this guide! The only problem I have is regarding imperial boxes, even with venecil outfit, I can only carry like 20, and that's a problem to craft them and delivering them to the imperial guy since it takes several travels to complete the daily cap. Also, I only can turn them late in the night becouse the server cap is always capped out at 0 every other time t.t

Awesome guide ty :)

actually u can buy fruit/vege from the vendor and put on central market at the middle , so u can turn to storage with central market, save time and turns

I love this guide. Very we'll made, and i like the fact we actually have a good content creator from my home country. PROS: - Potential profit we'll explained. - Where it is done is we'll explained, and why. When that is said tho, it can be done other places if you feel more comfortable in Heidel for example. - How it is done is very we'll explained aswell no BS in between, and its kept simple very nice. - What are we aiming for? What is the goal? Why level this? Very we'll explained, and dismissed every doubt i had from the get-go. But that said i personally always level cooking no matter the game. Every MMORPG ive played which had cooking as a craft/profession ive leveled i dunno why tho. - Info are very new/beginner friendly, its understandable for new aswell as returning players, or seasoned players who needs tips, and tricks. (There is prolly more things i could list here but yeah this are my initial thoughts) CONS: - Money wise for beginners can be very expensive, yes we get alot of money from the game by playing through the story but its not making you rich. I ended up downgrading all the gear from this guide due to lack of funds. (I played before, but lost my account so i started over with nothing). - Not 100% F2P its nice that it is shown those P2W costumes/outfits (Pearl Shop) have great effect, and are "nice to have" but i would have appreciated the video being all F2P, and then those mentioned, and maybe a "little" demonstration. The reason why i flag it as a con is because i can't get the result i thought i could without them, so i miscalculated a bit. - Where do get Utensils mentioned good, BUT Advanced being the easiest to get from the get-go even tho CM is dry when it comes to them. I would have liked little more inside on how to get Supreme Utensils just to name, and example. - I begun to make Imperial Boxes "Great" BUT they weight a ton, and its gonna result in running back and forth a bazillion times between the Imperial Vendor, and the storage which for me is VERY tedious. Last words: Although it sounds like i put the video/guide more down than i give the thumbs up, i wanna say i love this guide i use it myself. It is also one of the better ones out there if not the best (After my opinion. So this is my opinions, but don't get me wrong i love this guide. But when that is said please my fellow countryman im not asking you to edit/update or remake the video to remove those cons. But i wish you will read this, and make a video with how you get such high Weight limit, and yes i know many other country creators have made videos regarding weight limit, but their method/guides worked for me or if understood them then i would'nt ask here. You are so good explaining stuff for slow learners like me (Im an Airhead sometimes) so please make a guide how to obtain those kinda weight limit. Is it gear? Is it P2W? WHAT IS IT! It would make my life so much easier! I searched far, and wide you can call me dumb or an idiot but in the jungle called the world wide web i did'nt find a good answer for the Supreme Utensils, mostly how to obtain etc.

You instantly got me back into wanting to play Black Desert again. When I left I was Well into Master cooking. So I got a ways to go ! But super excited to try this. Love your channel. Subscribed and loved!

thx fot the video bro u r amazing

Great guide id love one for alch :D

ty for this video, cooking guru, here I come

hey BP, i made really good experience for meat gathering with the "blue tet gear (knife and gathering clothes) i call them with love the poor mans tet manos. both are way cheaper than tri manos (both arround 750m) and they give 250 mastery each. price/efficiency is pretty good here.

Wow very helpful! we get mastery soon on console so I will start stacking up!

I'm G30 these days but a refresher of this video is always great!

I did bought it today on ps4 and gonna download tomorrow but man so many details I can't even remember what to do at start after watching tons of videos on RU-vid

Helpful !

damn, the desert is spreading. Now valencia is at velia already 14:14

Amazing

Love the accent and though I've played off/ on for years still learning stuff. TY:)

Thank you

I use 2 Alts for pilgrim heaven (rough stone) 3 for milk gathering at Olvia 1 for Farming 1 for Meat gathering and my main for quests, usable scantling, imperial cooking etc.

Very nice guide! I finally feel like I'm starting to get the hang of BDO, also how important is upgrading my workers from skilled to professional and then to artisan?

Thanks, maan! Awesome 🙏 Can you tell me the cheapeat one to buy exactly for making the guru boxes (balenos, serendia and etc.)?💡

Excellent guide. Luckily its what Ive been doing already. But, whats this about an outfit to craft from or into storage? Oh found it, the "Maid" outfit I guess. Processing from storage.

Hey bro congrats! The music drop when you hit PEN was awesome. What were you playing?

Really nice guide, the bit where you said you can afk and play shadow raid xdddd

Thanks for the guide dude. It's super useful for new players like me. How do you get so many contribution points? What is the best way to gain them?

BPGaming, thanks for the guide man. Definitely appreciate it. Do you have any tips on farming energy? My energy is around 245 and I would like to get it up!

You're awesome man ! Helped me a TON !! Keep up the great work man, any chance you do horse breeding ?

Really great video On a side note how do you get that ui look ?

love the video man and quick question. is there a reason to push for guru in alchemy?

Only thing I picked up was the min/max fever that people do these days. I was content in getting a ton of grape and potato for levelling Guru cooking but then it suddenly became check the time when the 3hr cooldown and I was like nah I will just play to my own levels XD AWESOME VIDEO thank you so much for the cooking levelling tips

Professional boxes ftw 😂

Ty

i have a question for one who knows, what are those yellow crystal or purple on tet? ty

Another pro tip about your location. Don't feel so forced to be in Calpheon. All you really need is an alt in Calpheon with a horse as a bare min. What you do is you stack your horse with as much fruit/vegetables as you want. Then head over to the storage/central market and put your fruit/vegetables in your ware house. Then switch back to your character who is doing the cooking in the city they're doing the cooking and move the product into that cities storage. EZ PZ.

Super god guide :D Ikke hver dag man finder en anden dansker der spiller

Good video - I make about 50mil a day turning in around 144 boxes at master 3 with around 622 cooking mastery turning in pickled veggies. It's not much, but it's honest work.

hello mate I really enjoyed your vid and it explained a lot for me who just start the game ? but I have one question do I need to make like alt of cooking or should I cook with my main ?

Really enjoyed the guide, do you have any idea on what to do if you want to get into afk fishing? Epheria Sailboat is nearly in my grasp and I'm wondering if I should bother with using it or just selling it, thanks in advance!

Are fences good for grains? I honeslty got some as a new player according to my friend advice and i get a lot more from the fence than the nodes but the problem is they need energy

how did you made a topic for why cooking? math included, where, how, nodes, etc!

just a heads up for console players you can’t turn the pickled vegetables into imperial boxes so maybe look into something else

please can you review your all node empire. Great video

7:10 that horse just went matrix wtf

Hey great guide man, also may I know around how much you have invested just by buying the raw materials alone starting from beginner all the way to guru 1?

Should have way more subs. Pump more content bro!

I'm artisan 7 and been cooking for like roughly 8-10 hours. I use verdure, cron meal and life stone and stuff and popping some life exp scrolls but I feel like Its going really slow. All I do is vinegars and pickled vegetables. Should I step up and do some other stuff that give higher xp per meal?

would you make a video on how to set up the node management?
