Equipment and inventory | Main character Black Desert Online Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Just like in other MMO games, in Black Desert plays a vital role during exploration and completing quests. After you start the game, you find out that your access to the inventory is limited and the rest of it is blocked out. You receive more slots in the inventory by completing quests.. For the quests (not all of them, though) you will be receiving special items that expand your inventory. However, they do not increase the weight limit, which is an important aspect of collecting items are banks and storages. You can increase the weight limit that you can carry via training your strength that has been described in the chapter devoted to character development. While collecting items, keep in mind that also your money has its weight.
You can remedy that with banks and storages. In each city, there is an NPC, who can store your valuables or your money, at a small price. Each such NPC provides you with a specific storage space. The important issue is that storages that you visit in the game are not connected with each other. This means that if you deposit your item in a storage and you go to another city, you will not be able to retrieve your items there. Therefore, it is important to remember where you have stored your items. However, you do not need to return to that specific city to receive gold. At any moment, you can have the storage manager send items to the storage that you pick. Also, you can arrange for such a transfer yourself, if you have the skill for that, the mount and the vehicle. By default, in each storage, there are eight slots that you can use. You can increase this number with special items that you can buy from storage managers. Also, you can use space in your house to establish a storage that you will not have to pay for. You buy houses from Node Manager for contribution points. In any case, if you have your items delivered elsewhere, you need to pay. The amount of the payment depends on the distance between the cities and the node connection. The most important matter is to connect nodes. IF you do not have any, the payment will be several-fold higher than in the case of an existing connection.
In Black Desert Online, unlike in other RPGs, items are not ranked. Also, you cannot craft weapons or armors. All of the sets of items have been predefined and there are no restrictions for wearing them. While picking the sets of weapons, or armors, there is only one rule. The better the defense/attack attribute, or bonuses of that set, the better it is. You can enchant majority of armament with crystals, which enhances the value of that item automatically.
