BDO Cooking in 2020 Part 1 - From Beginner 0 To Guru Hero! Mastery, mass cooking, b0 to a2 guide!

The first video in my powerlevel to guru guide series for Black Desert Online!
/ airstylez
Fire your questions at me when I'm live, happy to help!
I've seen a lot of people take way longer than they should getting to guru for imperial turnin fat silver, so I decided to see if I can help you guys along the way.
In this video we will start with: Gear, 1 second cooking time, buffs to get, a solid easy recipe, and the super secret fruit vendor!
Websites I used:
www.incendar.com
www.bdodae.com
There are some other meals you can cook as well if you want something directly useful, like beer and grilled chicken.

[@MightyMicah]

This is easily the most helpful cooking guide I've seen. Thank you for this!

[@mechacharizard101]

This video has carried my brain through this lifeskill path so hard, whenever I take short breaks from the game and come back I always check back into this vid to refresh my memory of all the mechanics because of how beautifully everything is explained. This is like my 5th time watching lol. Great job and thanks!

[@magica56565]

Yes! Finally someone who updated it. New sub mate, keep it going

[@RIVA5150]

Incredible video guide man. I'm about a month into BDO & for the first time, I feel like I'm beasting it.. in the kitchen.. lol. That's exactly what I wanted & even though I couldn't afford exactly everything you mentioned, I got what I could as you've layed down an amazing roadmap & now I have goals to work towards. Currently cooking at 2.3s per tick, thanks!!

[@rjbourne3463]

First time watching one of your videos, I have put about 400 hours into BDO and I haven't even touched the surface of this game. I really appreciated this video, it really helped me find a starting point on my cooking journey. Cheers.

[@lordmuzy]

this is so good dude thank you, a year later and its a life SAVER

[@artic8447]

aiRstylez , that's a great guide to get into cooking one thing, I do is keep an alt in Calpheon near the fruit vendor very time I need fruit, just switch alt and buy the fruit you need and put it in the market place storage and pick with other character in whatever city your cooking in.

[@Chris3s]

I cook in grana since there most of the time you dont need to compete for boxes. If you go to the lake/water northeast of grana, there is a fruit vendor. So you dont really need an alt for that anymore

[@lionheart619js]

Chrises did you level up the city itself?

[@Chris3s]

@@lionheart619js I just got the residence house near the storage npc and the cheapest storage house in grana, nothing more. I will probably move to calph or altinova since I want to use the cp.

I forgot to say thanks for the mouse movement gathering tip at Pilgrim's so, thanks a bunch for that. Super informative content and greatly appreciated.

[@brayden43]

A nice trick to get a lot of the vendor cooking materials into the storage at once is using the horse stacking trick. With that trick you can stock up on as many materials as you want in one single trip.

[@zelow79]

Of a single ingredient.

[@Bestrox]

Over 25k hrs into bdo an never seriously invested into cooking. This is going to help tremendously!!!

[@ElindorBG]

Vinegar is usually profit .. - vinegar twice cheaper than the other required ingredients

[@marx_avenger6137]

You get an avg of 2.5 vinegar on a cook with low/no mastery, and the average can go up to almost 3. So rn vin is 1.1k, potato 1.5k, fruit is 700, lets say 2.5k cost of ingredients. So for every 2.5k, you should expect 1.1k*2.5, so 2.75k. Not much profit, but not a loss at least. Also, usually is the operative word. It very well could be a loss sometimes.

[@Ottohagop]

Thanks for the guide. Just started so on a budget so can't buy all the nice gear to help power-up. Very nice guide.

[@rlayden]

Really nice guide :) tyvm. One question though. Why a sharp @-1.4 second alchemy stone instead of resplendent @-1.7 seconds or even splendid @ -2 seconds?

[@Stanky_Foot]

this only works if you have utensils available on the market right? Right now we have 4.2k preorders and I've only gotten 10 in 4 days.

[@TheJanstyler]

I know this video is a bit older but quick question... where did you get grain for 505 silver? Grain is around 1.7k for me. Wut? Edit: Holy hell I just saw that your vinegar sold for 1590 silver back then... either NA and EU are completely different, or the market change drastically over the last year. Doesn't matter that much to me anyway since I use all that vinegar for pickled veggies and turn them into boxes. Takes longer to get the money, but its still there.

[@chris_hisss]

Seems like the money is more in crafting the utensils?

[@phuzlon]

Chris Hiss no as you’ll make more crafting and using them. Selling them you’ll lose profit, a lot of profit.

[@Metroidf4n]

How do you replenish your grain? Do you workers farming for you? Do you do it manually? I'm quite new to the whole node system/workers

[@MushisCow]

Very thorough guide and great information! A daft guy like me would have loved to maybe have seen more numbers when buying your gear to have an estimate of the investment needed precooking ^^ But such an informative vid. Will be coming back to study it for sure!

[@aiRstylez]

The biggest cost is getting 1 second cooking, then the more capital you have to work with the faster everything else goes. 1s cooking can cost a little over 1b depending on canape or not. After that, getting started with a low amount of capital is perfectly fine, it'll just take a little while to compound profits =]

[@MushisCow]

@@aiRstylez Odd, I got no notification of your response. Ahh well. Nonetheless, a week later and the complexity of this video realky makes a lot more sense. Thank you sincerely!

Great Guide. However you buying those 5000 Paprika got me confused as it turn out they cannot be used for the vinegar recipe. Now I got them laying in my storage... I know, I know, I will eventually use them anyways. It's just an additional cost that I could have avoided (as a new player ever silver is important lol)

[@jackdonovan5435]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought TRI manos would do than just speed it up. Would higher mastery not mean more food for the same amount of ingredients, as well as a higher sell-price for the end-result imperials?

[@tristanoblasi9477]

yes but the amount of time you will spend cooking at 4-5 seconds isn't worth the amount of profit from a lower proc rate at 1 second.

[@jackdonovan5435]

@@tristanoblasi9477 fair enough, but in the video he mentions using his TRI Manos and says it won't make him more money but it will was my point. I can't babysit my cooking so I find that with canape outfit plus the mastery clothes it's still done by the time I check back.

[@_lun4r_]

Quick additives that apply to the Sep 21 2022 update: - Currently you can do a daily quest to get a 10 hour buff granting a 1 second cooking time reduction. These daily quests come back in different events, so be on the lookout for those. - The four byproducts mentioned by BDOdae (which also is dead right now), have been combined into one unified byproduct called the Witch's Delicacy. Each 10-batch of those lets you get 900 CP EXP and 30K Cooking EXP

[@funkydaddy007]

Hey buddy nice vid, whats the best way to get the bonus cooking quest that rewards 1k milk? Thanks in advance

[@doubleshot9448]

You can just throw the strawberries and the paprika in your marketplace warehouse, leave an alt in calpheon and not have to run back and forth. Just stack your horse from vendor to calpheon market place instead of back to heidel.....why have I not seen a single person doing this?

[@Lozano9123x]

amazing series

[@vengon9655]

hey! first of all really nice video. it helped me alot but I have one question. is it better to have lifeskills on alt or on main? cause on main sometimes you dont have free inventory + you need to move from farming spots. on alt you can let him in cities for proffesions. what do you think?

[@casperolesen9724]

Depends. If you like to grind mobs as much as you enjoy lifeskilling you definitely need a Life skiller alt and a mob slayer main. Otherwise you would be running back n fourth from grind spots.. Atleast for me, like i have my main down in aakman with a tent n maids. So i never have to leave lol.

You dont need to get off the horse while you overstack just click p to open horse inventory while u ride it, its faster and less annoying

[@splet6240]

Good guide, no doubt in my mind. However actually, I was expecting you would go in the follow up steps actually. Guide title says "To Guru". So I expected some information as what to do as next step for exping. Not only the start with Vinegar. But what recipe to grind after that? Cause yes as you said yourself, going to Guru with only vinegar is a bit too much in the video. So what to use then? Can you enlighten us? Or is there a follow up video? :)

[@aiRstylez]

There are 4 more videos in the playlist :)

[@AlessioScarlet]

this guide is great, thank you

[@websnarf]

@aiRstylez JordanTV cooks in weird places like Olvia because there are fewer players in the area, which reduces the lag -- so that's one way around that issue.

[@Hakou4Life]

how long did it take to cook those 4500 meals?

[@Warinx]

What do we do now that they nerfed the byproducts to crap. I made 1980 vinegar and got 1 single witch byproduct.

[@aiRstylez]

It's not necessarily nerfed, you just had a bad batch. It's roughly 2.4% obtain chance per craft.

[@Razadine1]

Very good video. Everyone now a days seems to be using Shai's as there cooking slave :)

[@lanity4927]

Right now the advanced cooking utensils are sold out, what should I do? would it still be worth to craft them? I am artisan.

[@aiRstylez]

Absolutely, desperate times call for desperate pilgrims haven rough stone gathering =D

[@chubz2faded843]

Ty helped alot and explained very well

[@TheJanstyler]

So... I can't afford the +4 Clothes, I cant afford the orange sharp stone and there are 80 orders of the grey stones, and there are about 20k preorders for advanced cooking utensils. This is kinda impossible to do right now

[@silver23768]

Just gather the materials and do it yourself, if you cant afford +4 just buy the +1 or the one you can afford, the stones just save time you can watch youtube or do other things while you wait, plus it gives you energy so you can gather things or uprage grinding nodes.

[@curran1411]

[@drew1132]

What shai outfit is that in the beginning?

[@luigi22560]

I have a problem with the imperial cuisine if the box sells for 550,000 (master) + 45% profit with the imperial dress it is to give me 797,500 money but in the end I get 650,000 money this normal?

[@aiRstylez]

There's a base price on the box, take your bonus from mastery and add it with 250% then multiply on the base price of the box. In the case of master boxes its 220,000 x (250+45) = 649,000

[@cmdell4693]

This is the problem with BDO though, getting to the point of making profit is just so far away...even here you're talking about getting +4 cooking clothes, that's like a billion silver to begin with like, how do you even get to the starting point to achieve this. I'm Artisan cook all I did was cool Serendia Specials but my worker army could not bring in the material fast enough [eggs is mostly the bottleneck] so I could only see cooking as well a way to get some cash once a week once my workers had stocked up on everything.

[@kumquatmagoo]

There's some useful info here for newbs like me, but if you can afford +4 cooking clothes you're not a newb and the guide kinda falls flat after that. More I play the game the more I realise how p2w it really is.

But yeah I've never felt like I've got into the rythem of cooking, gathering, trading, as much as I try, I put so much effort into cooking, gathering materials, setting all my workers up correctly on Fruit, Eggs, Potato/Corn etc, took me maybe 3 days to sort everything out and in the end I made about 40 million...what's the point?

I know a person who recently just hit g50 cooking without purchasing weight, slots, or canape =] It's a marathon game. Work towards it, by getting a +3. Selling attendance rewards, and just general gameplay will accrue the initial silver. There's a helluva learning curve to the game. Play, invest, play more efficiently, reinvest, repeat.
