Time is money, Adventurers!
So, whether you have only few minutes to spare or several hours, here are a few juicy tips to help you earn a little extra silver.
1. Daily Quests (Lara's Great Discovery and Bread)
Daily quests are quests you can complete once every day.
One especially loved by Adventurers is “[Daily] Lara's Great Discovery and Bread”, which can be accepted in Heidel.
This simple but rewarding quest is great for obtaining Scorched Fragments, which are a key ingredient of the expensive Manos accessories.
How to proceed with [Daily] Lara's Great Discovery and Bread
| 1 | Accept the quest from “Lara”, the General Goods Vendor in Heidel. |
| 2 |
Hand over Dough x100 (made from Potato, Sweet Potato, Wheat, Barley, or Corn) to Lara Dough can be crafted by “Shaking” Mineral Water with a 1:1 ratio of powder made from one of the above-mentioned ingredients. |
| 3 | Select “Scorched Fragment” as a quest reward. |
| 4 | Complete this quest everyday until you accumulate 15 “Small Four-leaf Clover” (a standard quest reward), then talk to Lara to accept the quest “Small Fortunes Yields Big Fortune”. |
| 5 | Complete “Small Fortunes Yields Big Fortune” then proceed with the Bonus quest. |
| 6 |
Repeat steps 1 to 5! Use the above method to continually gather Scorched Fragments and other necessary ingredients to craft Manos accessories (earring, ring, belt, necklace), then sell them on the Central Market. |
※ You can purchase the powders necessary for the dough from the market.
※ The other materials necessary for crafting Manos accessories can be purchased from markets as well.
2. Auto-fishing
▲ Velia coast, a popular auto-fishing spot for Adventurers!
Auto-fishing” enables your character to fish automatically and is another great way to earn silver.
Once your character has cast their rod at a desired spot, and a certain amount of time has passed,
you'll have caught some fish which you can use for Bartering or Imperial Delivery,
making auto-fishing one of the more popular “AFK features” in game.
※ The following preparations will make your auto-fishing more efficient.
1. Make sure you have ample inventory space available
2. Use a Balenos Fishing Rod and pets (e.g. Lost Penguin) to reduce your auto-fishing time
3. Increase your Fishing Level (up to +5)
3. Magical Seeds
▲ A magical seed (ex: Hump Mushroom)
Adventurers who have achieved Farming ”Artisan” mastery or higher can try their hand with ”Magical Seeds,” which have a chance of dropping each time Plant Breeding is performed on a crop.
After planting this seed, use Plant Breeding on it for a chance to obtain:
Unusual Fruit, Mutant Plant, Plant with Rotting Roots, Seed Half Eaten by a Bird, or Premature Fruit.
Use Simple Cooking on two of these crops to create “Stonetail Fodder,” which is needed for Dream Horses.
▲ Stonetail Fodder
Using plant breeding on a magical seed guarantees at least one more magical seed,
making it largely beneficial in that you can continue farming with magical seeds.
You can also make additional profit by selling any excess seeds to vendors.
※ You can use “magical seeds” in Farming to bear fruit via Plant Breeding or harvest them to obtain a bunch of crops. Otherwise, you can also make Silver by selling them to vendors.
※ For Adventurers who’ve yet to try out their green thumb in Farming, please refer to the guide below to learn how to get your Farming to Artisan mastery.

4. World Bosses
You can obtain boxes with world boss gear, crystals, gold bars, etc., by defeating world bosses
and if you’re lucky, you’ll also obtain valuable items such as Vell’s Heart and Garmoth’s Heart.
However, what do you do if Garmoth appears while you're fighting monsters in Titium Valley?
Since world bosses appear all over the world of Black Desert,
many Adventurers tend to place certain characters near the locations of certain world boss appearances. 
▲ e.g.) Characters placed to hunt down world bosses
Using the above method, you’ll be able to consistently fight world bosses the moment they appear.
This will grant you a steady income and pave your way to becoming a BDO gazillionaire!
※ Please refer to the following guide for more details on World Bosses. [Details]
5. Dark Rift
▲ You can see the locations of Dark Rifts on the World Map (M).
Defeating the bosses that appear from the Dark Rifts scattered across the world of Black Desert is a great way to get silver. You can get quality accessories from the boxes they drop, a bunch of Ancient Spirit Dust, and if you’re really lucky, you can get “Remnants of the Rift,” a material required to make Blackstar gear.
There is a slight difference depending on which Dark Rift boss you are fighting, but you should be able to kill the bosses if your character is lv. 60 or higher with PEN (V) Tuvala gear or Narchillan gear
However, you will not lose any EXP or break crystals if you die to Dark Rift bosses. So, even if you feel slightly under leveled or under geared, you can give it a shot without risking anything.
※ Ancient Spirit Dust is used in Simple Alchemy to make “Caphras Stone.” Then you can choose to either use the Caphras Stones or sell them on the Central Market.
※ Dark Rifts respawn after a certain period of time passes from the point you defeated a Dark Rift Boss.
6. Black Spirit’s Adventure
This is the last tip on this list—”Black Spirit’s Adventure.”
You can open this window by going to “Menu (Hotkey: ESC) > Rewards > Black Spirit’s Adventurer” in the game.
It is a minigame where the Black Spirit figure moves the number of squares you roll on your dice.
You can get a new pair of dice every 30 minutes and you can get 3 pairs a day. If the Oasis buff is available, you can get up to 5 pairs a day!
Don’t forget to keep checking while you are logged in to get the dice you get automatically and roll for free rewards.
