Warnings
● The in-game boss timer is set to GMT+2 and doesn't adjust for other time zones. Use
the ones on the forum/linked in the discord [bug?]
○ https://bit.ly/MelissiaBossTimeSheet
● Pearl Shop: A general rule is to never get a "​package​" or "​box​". Buy the items
separately. [bug]
○ Many of the older class outfit boxes work
○ There (usually) isn't a price difference between items and the boxes
○ The boxes for Guardian and Shai are broken.
■ Includes weapon boxes from some quests
○ Weapon transfer coupons don't work for all weapons
■ Generally work for boss weapons
● There are still a few bugs with the Central Market
○ Sometimes the wrong item will be moved from warehouse to market storage
■ Try moving the item to inventory then to central warehouse
○ Sometimes a preorder will complete but the item will not actually be bought. ​Use
pre orders at your own risk
● Sometimes items will vanish from the Central Market.
○ This may be a visual bug. The items are missing from the player's sell tab but are
still listed.
○ Sometimes when they are bought the player receives the silver, but this doesn't
seem to be 100%
● List high value items on the Central Market at your own risk!
○ If you can't afford to lose it, don't list it!
● There are bugs with the Transport system.
○ If logged out or restarting the game while an item is in transport, it can be lost.
○ Transportation is instant.
● Objects are still visible whey they shouldn't be, or you can't see something that you know
should be there.
○ It's a visual bug
■ Run away and return
■ Re-log the character
● Book of the Old Moon​ isn't implemented​. Fixed 2020-06-22
○ The +1 stable/warf slot doesn't work
○ Exp and other bonuses do
● Some pets don't currently work. (Can't be unpacked from "boxes")
○ I don't have a complete list. Buy with caution.
■ Confirmed not working: Fluffy bunny, Emperor Hawk
● The hedgehog in the pet shop is ​NOT​ the same one from retail
○ This version gives a +% on gathering amount, which is already maxxed out by
server rates. End result is a cute pet.
 ○ The hedgehog in the Amerigo's Welcome Package is supposed to be the same
as retail, but its ID is the same as the normal one. Proper hasn't been able to fix
it.
● The Double Stack Bug.​ Sometimes items in the storage will double-stack and it looks
like something disappeared. They're still there, but hidden under something else. The
bug can happen at any time. It's a good idea to check all your storage slots once a week
or so to unstack things.
○ Rt-click, F for max amount, see if it goes into inventory. If it does, that stack isn't
bugged. If it doesn't, then the stack is bugged.
○ Rt-click the bugged stack. This time do 50%. (If the stack is 2200 items, do
1100). If it transfers to inventory, you know that half of the stack is good. Keep
doing half the stack until you get to the bugged items. (1100 the first time, 550
the second time, 275 the third time, etc).
○ Eventually (unless you're really lucky or the stack was small to start) you will be
transferring one item at a time to inventory. When you get to the bugged item,
they'll start filling another slot in inventory. Now you can transfer all of them over.
● Shopping Bug. Many of the NPC stores only allow buying a single item at a time.
Sometimes this causes the client to crash.
○ The item still goes into inventory.
○ The crash is usually to character selection.

Installing
● Use the Launcher. It has a bittorrent client.
○ Sometimes the launcher has to be restarted multiple times.
● There is a bittorrent link in the discord, but it isn't seeded well.
● If you participated in the test phase and now cannot login to the main game, try
○ Changing launcher language.
■ Restart launcher to update files.
■ Change back to normal language and update.
■ Attempt to login.
○ (changing launcher language can help a couple other items as well)
○ deleting the ​Black Desert Lab​ folder in documents.

Game Client
● Starting the Game
○ Clicking the Start button too fast can cause a login error.
■ Wait a few seconds before pressing the buttons (when the video changes
is a good way to time it)
○ Once you get the error, there can be a hang on the next attempt
○ When restarting the game
■ Wait a bit before restarting the launcher
 ■ wait 30 seconds to a minute between clicking buttons
■ Restarting the computer can also help
● Black Screen or client closes when switching characters
○ Kill the game, wait a few minutes, restart the launcher. Give the client a few
seconds before clicking ​start​ or entering the server.
● If the client crashes or you kill the process, always give it a minute or two before
restarting so the login/auth process knows you're not in the game.

Classes
● Class Succession hasn't been implemented yet. Don't ask Mr.Proper about it.
○ Every time someone asks, he puts it off for another week.
○ Mr Proper is slowly putting succession quests and skills in.
■ Currently only for Warrior and they do no damage.
● Most classes have at least some bugged skills
○ CC doesn't work for all classes
○ AP/DP ratios are off
○ [2020-06-23]
■ In pvp, the registration of bonuses data is enable
https://bdonexus.info/wiki/ap-brackets-scaling/
■ Implementation of a new formula in PvP
■ Updating the damage ratio in pvp between classes, based on official data
■ Fixed critical attack in pvp, and the chance of passing crit
■ Correction of the evasion formula and accuracy for pvp and pve
● Balance
○ Melissia uses its own formulas. Don't expect everything to be the same as retail.
○ It is a "work in progress"
○ There are some major disparities.
● Latest Classes
○ Shai & Talents (Awakening)
■ Talent quest: NPCs are missing, but the places to stand and interact are
there.
○ Guardian & Awakening

Quests
● Many npcs are missing in Kama and Dreagan, which breaks the quest lines. [bug]
● When making a bug report, use a database link to the quest and npc so
Mr.Proper can find them easier. He's pretty quick about adding them, but has to
know which ones.
● Some npcs are missing in Mediah and Valencia, breaking some quest lines. [bug]
Lifeskills
● When turning in items gained from cooking or alchemy for skill or contribution exp, don't do
them all at once. Turn them in one at a time. (if you have 100 items to get exp per 5, for
example, do the turn-in 20 times.) [bug]
● Blue and Green cooking/alchemy ingredients don't reduce quantities properly--The
quantities are rounded down, not up. 4 blues for 5 white, for example.
● Mass Processing while performing cooking or alchemy isn't working. [Bug]
● The knowledge from Ossa Dilla works for melting yellow accessories into Yona's
Fragments. You don't need to do prerequisite quests.
● Use the material vendor in Velia to buy life skill gear (logia, doster, etc). The ones in the
other cities don't work.
● There is a maximum of 280 workers. The game won't warn if the number is surpassed, but
it will break further login attempts.
● Manos clothes and gear are not implemented.
● Only the hoe

Enhancing
● You can buy green armor/gear from NPCs ​for the 500-favor pricing, then use the gear to
repair durability when enhancing​.
● Green gear can be enhanced up to TRI pretty easily for a few million silver. (If
you have the shards/stones) [feature]
● Wave at the npcs to get that 500 favor pretty quickly. Premium gives a huge
bonus to favor.
● The rates shown on the enhancement window have a visual bug. The actual server rates
are being applied.
● The base rate for accessories is ½ that of retail.
● The ​Restoration Stone​ at the blacksmith cannot be purchased. It is not implemented.

Horses
● Branding horses increases the skill learn rate when leveling to nearly 100% (learn a skill
every level) It's easy to get a courser when branded. [feature]
● Sending horses to imperial delivery gives pearls. [feature] Note the silver amounts received
are messed up. [bug]
○ T5+, min level 15. Higher levels and tiers give more pearls.
● The free starter horse has some restrictions and a couple strange issues. Best to level it,
breed it, then exchange it.
● Sometimes a horse will get "stuck" and you can't ride them.
● Remote collect at a stable
● Take a piece of gear off and put it back on (F7)
● Run far away and return (so the game has to redraw the mount)
● Blue​ and ​Green​ riding crops give a ~80% mount speed bonus when auto-running as long
as it isn't enhanced. [feature?]
● No seahorses. Horses here are fresh water only.
● If a horse goes over any water marked as "ocean" it dies instantly, even when on
a bridge or dock.
● The various combinations of gear and consumables people are used to maximizing training
don't tend to work well here. But training gives horses so much XP optimization is not really
necessary. Takes about 2 hours to level a horse to 30.
● Use the riding costume, crop, life skill book, skill scrolls
● Camels cannot be ridden again once unmounted.

Ocean/Sea/Margoria
● Missing sea monsters, treasures, and a node manager NPC (which also breaks the major
quest chain). [bug]
● The new sailor system isn't implemented. No ETA.
● Many Warf Masters are broken. Ships taken out there don't function. (Fishing
boats and rafts work.)
○ I suspect it has to do with the "invisible wall" around the dock and ships
are spawning inside it, making them stuck.
● The exception is Velia.
● This seems to be fixed now.
● Most Humpback whales are missing.
● They tend to respawn after a server reboot
● Upgrading ships
● The various items for crafting blue ship gear are missing
● The various items for upgrading Epherias to Gallias are missing
● The Quests for upgrade materials are missing
○ Ravina's log quests
● There's some crocs out in the ocean. They're not sea monsters.

Hunting
● Matchlocks work
● Most of the hunting quests don't [bug]
● Many of the <wild> mobs are missing [bug]
 ○ Some are in the wrong place. Like crocodiles in the ocean.

Wealth
● Shards​: Best way to get shards is with gathering. Find something you want to gather, then
gather the hell outta it.
○ Seriously.
● Blackstones​: So many shards drop while gathering that grinding them for blackstones is
worth the effort. It's 100x faster than grinding mobs for blackstones, even including
extraction from loot.
○ Otherwise, grind scrolls for the seals, which can be traded at Tarif for
blackstones. This gets you memes and blackstones.
○ The seals can also be traded for upgrade stones, which can then be crafted to
ultimate upgrade stones.
● Silver​. There's several ways to get a lot of silver. None happen immediately or fast. They
take time. Find something you like, then do it a lot.
● One of the best ways is from gathering. Selling caphras gained from gathering
can make a lot of silver. But remember the CM bugs from above!
● Get green gathering tools from velia, enhance to +15
● Go out and gather stuff. Sell the caphras for easy silver.
● Even with low energy, it doesn't take long for the pearls gained from gathering to
pay for +50 energy pots to keep gathering.
● Fishing​ is highly profitable compared to retail, and you get pearls too [feature]
● Fish have x1000% value
● Autosell​: Items placed in Central Market will auto-sell for 50% value after 7 days.
● Special Deals​ (SD) are sold at 20% of value in 1-3 hours.
● Mr.Proper: "You knock the item off the monster, it is registered at the auction.
immediately goes -80% price cut. The bot checks 1-3 hours randomly and buys
it."
● Players cannot buy from SD category (it was removed by pearl abyss, mr proper
can't bring it back).
● See the warning section for issues with CM

Miscellaneous
● Node Investment.
● Don't invest energy in nodes for loot. We're pretty sure the server loot rate bonus
isn't being applied to the rarer items. (Like the node bonus replaces the server
bonus.) [bug]
○ Node benefit doesn't get the x10 server bonus anyway. A level 10 node
only gives +0.5% drop rate on 50% of the mobs.
● Investing in production nodes helps workers.
○ Example:
 ■ Level 10 node = MinCountItem = 6 MaxCountItem = 10
■ 30 level worker = MinCountItem += 3; MaxCountItem += 3;
■ Artisan (Orange) grade worker = MinCountItem += 21;
MaxCountItem += 21;
■ the worker will bring a random value between the minimum and
maximum = MinCountItem = 30 MaxCountItem = 34
○ Node Level MinCountItem MaxCountItem (Notes)
■ 2: 1 3
■ 3: 2 4
■ 4: 2 5
■ 5: 3 5
■ 6: 3 6
■ 7: 4 7
■ 8: 4 8
■ 9: 5 9
■ 10: 6 10
○ + worker Level
■ 10 +1 +1
■ 20 +2 +2
■ 30 +3 +3
○ + grade worker
■ Skilled +7 +7 (Hero/Blue)
■ Professional +14 +14 (Legendary/Yellow)
■ Artisan +21 +21 (Boss/Orange)
○ Rnd.get(MinCountItem,MaxCountItem);
● Big storm (thunder/snow) being annoying? Go to the character screen and back, should be
gone. It's a client-side bug. [bug]
● Keep an eye out in chat for meme parties. It's not too unusual for people to do hundreds of
scrolls. Lots of memory fragments. You can leech thousands of memory fragments, seals,
and loots. [feature]
○ Max out your carry weight
○ Have a tent nearby
● No expiration date on summoning scrolls. Combine those fragments and bank those things
for a party. [feature]
○ [This is broken now? I've seen scrolls expire]
● Attendance Rewards are not received automatically. You have to click on them.
● They arrive in the Black Spirit Safe
● Many sets are missing some of their features. Usually the first set effect applies but not the
later ones. Example: Da-Dum (shark suit) gives swim speed bonus, but not breath bonus
[bug]
● (If you have a fairy with tingling breath, you can unsummon/summon the fairy and
it tends to fix the breath.)
● Dark Rifts spawn about every hour. If you go to a location and the boss doesn't appear,
wait a couple minutes or run back and forth. They're shy.
○ Warning: sometimes another player's invisible boss can attack you. [bug]
○ Ferrid (Omar Lava Cave) might be broken
● Most of the npc-bought/non-crafted functional clothing don't give the EXP bonus they list.
[bug]
● Pearl shop and crafted ones work (or did, haven't confirmed it with the current
release)
● Only a few wacky toshi's are available for marni stones.
● Sand grain bazaar, Weita island, Old Wisdom Tree (unconfirmed)
● Client sometimes crashes when buying the first stone.

End Note
● The general philosophy of Melissia BDO is things are ​easier​ but not EASY. Put in time and
effort.
