There is a wide variety of items that you can rent using Contribution Points.

Here is a list of items you can rent:

Equipment, used for fighting; Gathering Tool, used for gathering materials; Fence, used to grow crops; Container, used to access storage; Matchlock, flute, or small drum, used to play mini games and/or fulfill quests.

The most useful item to rent using contribution points for rookies would be Equipment.

The rental equipment offer great AP and DP, and don’t need to repairs because all rental equipment can’t lose durability. The only downside is that they cannot be enhanced and they are quite heavy.

If you’re not going to use the rented item, you can return it to the NPC and get your Contribution Points back.

▲ You can use a fixed amount of Contribution Points to rent good equipment.

If you’ve already met the NPC who lends you the item, you can search for the item in the NPC Search menu located on the top right corner of the screen, next to the minimap.

If you move your mouse onto the list, you can see the item and its information.

▲ If you’ve already met a NPC who lends you the item, you can just search for it on the NPC Search menu.

Contribution Point Equipment is useful for a rookie starting their adventure in Black Desert.

It doesn’t lose durability and you also have a variety to choose from since they offer different item effects. 

You can see which NPC lends you the equipment just by reading the equipment’s name.

The equipment has the NPC’s name you rent from as part of its name.

The only exception would be the Kaia Equipment set.

You can rent Kaia main weapons from Kanobas and Kaia armors from Dobart in Calpheon.

Kaia Equipment is the most expensive costing 50 Contribution Points to rent but they are good enough to be used in the Calpheon and Mediah Region.

You can also check where the NPC is located using the NPC Search function on the top right corner of the screen, next to the minimap.

You can rent other items using Contribution Points like, a fence to grow crops, or a matchlock to complete quests.

The ‘Container’ allows you to access the storage of a town you rented it from.

You can place the Container in a residence you own and use it there. 

But you can only store and take out things of the storage. You won’t be able to use any of the other Storage Keeper NPC’s functions or the Marketplace. You can rent a container by giving 10 Contribution Points to a Storage Keeper NPC in town.

▲ You can rent a container using 10 contribution points from the Storage Keeper in town.

​​​​​​​

▲ Select [Place Mode] in the residence you’ve purchased.

▲ In [Place Mode], select the container in the furniture list and place it in the residence.

▲ When you open the container, you can see which town’s storage you are using.

You can also rent a ‘Fence’ using Contribution Points. A fence allows you to grow crops that can be used for cooking, alchemy, and crafting.

The fence has multiple types and each allows you to grow a different number of crops at a time: Small Fence, Plain Fence, and Strong Fence

A Small Fence allows you to grow 4 crops at a time, Plain Fence allows you to grow 7 crops at a time, and Strong Fence allows you to grow 10 crops at a time.

You cannot rent multiple fences if a fence is present in your character’s inventory. However, if it is anywhere else like in storage, mount storage, or install on the ground, you can rent more. You can install up to 10 fences at a time.

If you have enough contribution points you should rent Strong Fences. It will allow you to plant the most crops since the number of fences you can install is limited.

▲ You can rent fences from certain NPCs.

You can rent a ‘Matchlock’ using Contribution Points to carry out certain quests or to earn Knowledge.

You can’t hit other characters or monsters with the rented Matchlock, but you can shoot birds in the air or jellyfishes floating on water.

You have to use a matchlock to complete certain quests and learn Ecological Knowledge. So eventually you would get to use one.

▲You can use a Practice Matchlock to shoot down birds in the air. You can only learn ecological knowledge by killing animals with a matchlock. 

You can rent a flute or a small drum using Contribution Points, they allow you to a play minigames. Equip it on the Weapon Slot and to play the mini game and finish quests.

▲ The flute lets you play the minigame where you have to avoid the falling notes.

▲ You can play a minigame using the Small Drum as well.
