What is going on, everyone, and welcome back to another Black Desert video. So today, I want to talk about how I make silver every month. And usually, I do these maybe once every month or two just because sometimes things change and sometimes they don't. But I usually try to do about 150 billion silver a week playing, you know, pretty casually. I don't go super hard on grinding. But I'll give you a rundown of what I do. And, you know, my silver per month will probably be different from other people's depending on your life skill levels, gear, and how much time you play, but just a quick idea of some things you could do and maybe start preparing for in the future. And some of these are very beginner friendly as well. Um, so let's go down with that.
Speaker A
do about 150 billion silver a week playing, you know, pretty casually. I don't go super hard on grinding. But I'll give you a rundown of what I do. And you know, my silver per month will probably be different from other people's depending on your life skill levels, gear, and how
Speaker A
Let's talk about what I say for. Every week, I try to do at least 10 taps for Deck Sovereign, which is about 117, a little bit more silver or a billion silver. And after that, I do my weekly clicks of the Shining Stone, which is about 12 bill every 5 days, uh, for four clicks. Uh, yeah, we're at 104 now. That doesn't feel good. And then also Adonna armor clicks for Oct. That one is about 27 bill.
Speaker A
Let's talk about what I say for. Every week I try to do at least 10 taps for uh deck sovereign which is about 117 a little bit more silver or a billion silver. And after that I do my weekly clicks of
Speaker A
And I actually have a notepad showing you like this is how much things cost. So like every every 10 attempts is 117 bill. And then Adana armors from Sept to Oct 27. And then yeah, Alkston is another 12 plus everything else I do. So yeah, that's where all my silver goes every week.
Speaker A
And I actually have a notepad showing you like this is how much things cost. So like every every 10 attempts is 117 bill. And then Adana armors from Sept to Oct 27. And then yeah, Alkston is another 12 plus everything else I do. So yeah, that's where all my silver goes every week.
Speaker A
And let's start off with what I do first. Okay, so to get the Adania armor stones, you got to do the weekly weekly boss. And right now, I can do Tender Bra. All I need is my off hand to go to Deck. And then I could do Caprris, hoping for the best every week. And so I do that. After that, I do uh the Adoraxian dungeons. And these the rewards for these aren't really the best. It's just kind of fun to do like you know this game has very limited group content so you know when I get to do these with my friends guildies and so on it's always pretty fun. Um we usually blast through all five of these in under an hour. So I mean it's more about the experience than the crownstones but this one you know if you if everyone knows what they're doing it's just a bunch of crownstones materials usually a couple billion for an under hour. It's like equivalent of a high-end grind spot for an hour. And then this one, this is going down every week because the only one I do is basically the Zephros grind, which is you just get the end end time thingies and then some Han crystals,
Speaker A
then I could do Caprris, hoping for the best every week. And so I do that. After that, I do uh the Adoraxian dungeons. And these the rewards for these aren't really the best. It's just kind of fun to do like you know this game has very limited group content so you know when I get to do these
Speaker A
which looking at the prices of them now, they kind of go down. So, back when they were 30 mil each, they were worth a lot more. Herolds sell, you know, if you sell a full stack of them, they'll sell maybe once every week or two. So that's like here a free billion. It's not great.
Speaker A
usually a couple billion for an under hour. It's like equivalent of a high-end grind spot for an hour. And then this one, this is going down every week because the only one I do is basically the Zephros grind, which is you just get the end end time thingies and then some Han crystals,
Speaker A
And then you get a bunch of other stuff that you just sell to the vendor. So there's that. Uh next we also do pit of the undying. For all of you who don't know what that is, you just type pit of the undying. You do five different bosses or there's five different tiers like pry all the way to pen.
Speaker A
And then you get a bunch of other stuff that you just sell to the vendor. So there's that. Uh next we also do pit of the undying. For all of you who don't know what that is, you just type pit of the
Speaker A
It takes about I I think a couple of weeks to get to the pen one and then you get the insignia which allows you to basically, you know, do the higher tiers and see how much more reward you can get.
Speaker A
It takes about I I think a couple of weeks to get to the pen one and then you get the insignia which allows you to basically, you know, do the higher tiers and see how much more reward you can get.
Speaker A
So, what does that do? It gives you seal of the undying at the highest level. It's about 500 uh crownstones a week. Sometimes 650 if you get the extra mini boss with it, but that's kind of rare. So, I just pick the crown stones easy 600 or like 500 at minimum a week and that helps with the taps and everything. Uh, the best things to get from that probably crrons or if you're in the ocean life skilling probably crow coins. Um, aside from that, everything is pretty irrelevant. Next, what I do is the altar of blood and this thingy. if you've never done it. You get all the rewards they're doing all the way up to whatever the highest tier you can. You get the first time clear rewards. There's a bunch of fail stacks, gold bars. It's really nice. And then every week, um I just try to do all these once you get to the abyssal ones. As far as I know,
Speaker A
the taps and everything. Uh, the best things to get from that probably crrons or if you're in the ocean life skilling probably crow coins. Um, aside from that, everything is pretty irrelevant. Next, what I do is the altar of blood and this thingy. if you've never done it. You get all the rewards
Speaker A
these are the same rewards according to the weekly clear reward. These are the exact same. So, first one is significantly easier than the second one. But just do the highest tier you can and just what every week after that once you've already cleared it. So yeah, just do those and then you know at minimum just a bunch of gold bars and nice stuff. So yeah, recommend doing the highest tier you can every week. Next we do um let's see what what else am I talking about? Oh yeah,
Speaker A
these are the same rewards according to the weekly clear reward. These are the exact same. So, first one is significantly easier than the second one. But just do the highest tier you can and just what every week after that once you've already cleared it. So yeah, just do those and then you
Speaker A
so we do solo and party shrines. This one is a little bit more on the higher end of gear. So, kind of mid to end game. So, solo ones, um, if you can do Calamity 8 to 10, I would say those are a little bit easier than what like seven and they also give better rewards. But you just look at the required AP on the side over here and to see like what you can. I believe 330 for C8 is the minimum, but even if you're under, I would start learning the mechanics for the other bosses and just do them to get the rewards. I believe they buffed them as well uh with the last patch. So, it's definitely worth doing. Um yeah, so solo bosses, what I would recommend, so you know how you have the aura thing, right? Put the right aura into the color boss that you were doing and a lot of people just have no idea that exists. Now you do. Uh so for beginners what I would recommend sangon is a very easy one for let's talk about one through seven like this is where the aura one matters easiest ones to learn sangon for green for blue I would say bamboo and bari are probably the easier of the three this one I wouldn't say it's hard it's just more like more mechanically intense.
Speaker A
kind of mid to end game. So, solo ones, um, if you can do Calamity 8 to 10, I would say those are a little bit easier than what like seven and they also give better rewards. But you just look at the
Speaker A
Um then for red I would say 1 through seven golden pig king is easier and then the other two are you know kind of intense like I've done 10 for every everything else but for calamity 8 to 10 where this one gets into this gear checks in general seon pretty easy. Uh, surprisingly, Duaxini 8, nine, and 10 are easier than seven because it has less mechanics and it's more just a DPS check, but one to seven, you actually have to, you know, play the game. Uh, blue, uh, we only have one blue one so far. In the future, we'll probably get the other two. And then as for red, we have all three. If you're getting into eight to 10, I would recommend Apex because this one, surprisingly, is more just an eye frame check. Don't get hit, do damage. Uh, this one is just eyeframe, but Apex gives more rewards. Duxini gives the most rewards in the red tier, but has the most mechanics. All right, so party shrines, if you do them, like this is what I do. And, you know, if you want max rewards, it's better to do like a nine of a higher tier than a 10 of a lower tier, if that makes sense. All right. So, if you've never done them or like you're new to doing them, the five you get to do five of them every week, right? The ones I would recommend are these five. Bulgasil, Jigu, Uturi, Firebird, and Bong. So, those are basically the five that most people do. You can find it on PartyFinder as well. And generally, the easiest one to learn probably URI because that one's just a DPS check. Well, there's more mechanics to it, but with enough gear, you can just It's really obvious. Bulg has a little bit more mechanics. Um, and then like everyone gets their own furnace. You it lights up and you'll know what to do. Jiggly is an awareness check because there's a lot of red AOE's on the ground and so on. So, um, yeah, you have to kind of be aware of where you are,
Speaker A
them to get the rewards. I believe they buffed them as well uh with the last patch. So, it's definitely worth doing. Um yeah, so solo bosses, what I would recommend, so you know how you have the aura thing, right? Put the right aura into the color boss that you were doing and a lot of people
Speaker A
directionals, dots on the ground. Firebird has quite a few mechanics surprisingly. And, um, so like this one a little bit harder to learn. Eong is really just a mechanics check because everyone has a separate color and you do your own thing. Uh Prince and Blue Clad. This one is a bunch of puzzles. Uh it's very
Speaker A
of the three this one I wouldn't say it's hard it's just more like more mechanically intense.
Speaker A
Um then for red I would say 1 through seven golden pig king is easier and then the other two are you know kind of intense like I've done 10 for every everything else but for calamity 8 to 10 where
Speaker A
this one gets into this gear checks in general seon pretty easy. Uh, surprisingly, Duaxini 8, nine, and 10 are easier than seven because it has less mechanics and it's more just a DPS check, but one to seven, you actually have to, you know, play the game. Uh, blue, uh, we only have one blue
Speaker A
one so far. In the future, we'll probably get the other two. And then as for red, we have all three. If you're getting into eight to 10, I would recommend Apex because this one, surprisingly, is more just an eye frame check. Don't get hit, do damage. Uh, this one is just eyeframe, but Apex
Speaker A
gives more rewards. Duxini gives the most rewards in the red tier, but has the most mechanics. All right, so party shrines, if you do them, like this is what I do. And, you know, if you want max rewards, it's better to do like a nine of a higher tier than a 10 of a lower tier, if that makes
Speaker A
sense. All right. So, if you've never done them or like you're new to doing them, the five you get to do five of them every week, right? The ones I would recommend are these five. Bulgasil, Jigu, Uturi, Firebird, and Bong. So, those are basically the five that most people do. You can find it on
Speaker A
PartyFinder as well. And generally, the easiest one to learn probably URI because that one's just a DPS check. Well, there's more mechanics to it, but with enough gear, you can just It's really obvious. Bulg has a little bit more mechanics. Um, and then like everyone gets their own furnace. You
Speaker A
it lights up and you'll know what to do. Jiggly is an awareness check because there's a lot of red AOE's on the ground and so on. So, um, yeah, you have to kind of be aware of where you are,
Speaker A
directionals, dots on the ground. Firebird has quite a few mechanics surprisingly. And, um, so like this one a little bit harder to learn. Eong is really just a mechanics check because everyone has a separate color and you do your own thing. Uh Prince and Blue Clad. This one is a
Speaker A
bunch of puzzles. Uh it's very hard to get people to want to do this with a good group you can. Um and then same with Prince. This one is just you kind of have to be pretty geared to do it with
Speaker A
the right group. And it's just do you know your eye frames? Do you know how to coordinate stuff?
Speaker A
So aside from that, skip blueclad and prince if you are just party fightering it and everything and that's what I'll talk about for solo solo and party shrines. All right, so things that I do daily is one imperial delivery. This one is, you know, so you look at your contribution point
Speaker A
total, right? Then divide it by two. That's how many turnins you can do. I generally only do the cooking one because that one is super profitable whereas alchemy is a little bit less profitable and you know like you still have to use the stuff. So sometimes it's better to turn these into just
Speaker A
like harmonies and use them yourself while you're grinding instead of you know making extras for the guru box which is minimally profit. So biolytics is a website you can use to just track how much everything would cost and then calculate your profits. uh it's affected by cooking mastery,
Speaker A
cooking an alchemy mastery. So higher mastery equals more silver. Other than that, it's a flat number multiplied by mastery. Um what else do I do is I do a lot of gathering surprisingly. And you know, gathering is a good way to kind of source all your sharps, especially
Speaker A
if you're doing the alchemy stone clicks. It's about 2400 for your alchemy stones every week.
Speaker A
uh or 12 billion equivalent. So, if you can buy your sharps off the market, these thingies, if you could buy them for under 5 mil each, you should buy them cuz that will be less than 12 billion from buying the materials off the vendor. And then after that, um, the other life skills I
Speaker A
kind of do instead, mostly gathering, fishing when I'm busy for a majority of the day. Uh, I've been doing more cooking lately and then processing just because processing I have a lot of materials. Need to lower that number and also close to G50. That's just a kind of a fun thing. This week
Speaker A
in particular, I've been doing training a little bit just because I got the Voltarian was leveling that one up. And also, one thing I'm going for in the future is the what is that? The training lamp, the treasure item. So, have three of these out of four. I've just been kind of buying tier nines
Speaker A
and then selling it and hoping for that 15% to go. So, three out of four of these. And then the lumen trace thingy, the hardest piece for imperial uh horses. I I still need to find a better way to do
Speaker A
that. Or do most people just buy a level 30, tier eight, male and female, and then hope for the best and just repeat until you get it, then level up the imperial horse and hope for the best. I think
Speaker A
that's what you do. But yeah, that's something that like this treasure item is really just how much silver do you have in a way. Um, so working on that one slowly and farming got the huge change in the past few weeks where it takes longer to grow your crops, but the yield of everything is
Speaker A
a lot higher. So that's also a good way to get your contribution points up as well along with um cooking, you know, gathering the byproducts and literally every other life skill. Um, so yeah.
Speaker A
And then after that, most amount of silver will always come from grinding. Uh especially the more gear you have. One thing I've noticed when in terms of endgame grinds, right? So you like you just tag these highest tier and all of them. I guess hold on, let me see. Sort by AP. What I'd
Speaker A
recommend for everyone who doesn't know what to grind, go to the monster zone tab, sort by AP.
Speaker A
Where are you in AP? and then find that number. By default, it'll look like this one where it shows your stats. What you really want to look at is your total stats. That includes your buffs, your crystals, you know, all everything else that you have set up. And then you find the spot that
Speaker A
you would go to in general. So, yeah, Zephros kind of going down in price or value just because uh end times and heralds are kind of going down. Stars End might be, you know, the new number one silver maker in, I would say, a couple weeks from now. And then Sakria, surprisingly, Sakria is like
Speaker A
a very RNG specific. If you can get like a yellow or red orb consistently, you're making a lot more silver. But this one is just more RNG on how much silver you make, whereas Stars End is consistent more or less. So yeah, it's one of those Zephros is always a calm one because it has an AFK phase
Speaker A
in it. And so like of your hour, I would say about eight or soish minutes are just downtime, which is very nice. I like that. But if you want most amount of silver, I'm pretty sure Starzand is probably going to be up there competing with Zephos. Sakry is just do you like RNG
Speaker A
and a chill underwater grind spot, which I do. Um, so yeah, in the future I plan to make it another like grind best grind spots for silver video, but as of lately nothing really has changed. So that comes in when something changes. But that's about it. Those are the things I do weekly, daily. Um,
Speaker A
remember to roll your dice every day for all the people who just like click this button and save. You have like hundreds if not thousands of dice. This literally does add up. And I'll know eventually every now and then if you know how to roll your dice properly with the arcanas and
Speaker A
then you could land on like the high value ones that literally does add up to multiple billions of silver as long as you're keeping up with it. So every time you see someone with like hundreds if hundreds of dice just sitting there literally just roll them and have a few extra billion
Speaker A
silver. It's it's kind of nice to be honest. And then every week we do rift bosses. This is a bunch of crownstones. Um like 100 per boss. You also get the aether thingies. What are they called? I have
Speaker A
no idea to be honest. And these thingies, those are for your alchemy stone clicks. And then see, in terms of bosses, I do Garmoth three times a week. I don't I sometimes do the morning light bosses when I can. Vel when I can. I heard Quint and Moroca got buffed recently to the point where
Speaker A
it's actually making billions if you're getting higher on the reward damage scale, whatever they call it. Iridescence are very nice. Always a nice three bill. Aside from that, heard it's very good to do right now. So, uh, field bosses, I I just don't even do them. I should probably get into,
Speaker A
uh, Raar again for hunting just because I do need the other heart for my rifle and also because they increased the price of the RAR heart now. Um, it's like it's free 10 bill if you don't need it. And if you do need it, there you go. So yeah, I I think this one is actually good now
Speaker A
because they raise the price of the rare drop. So definitely recommend doing that one. Do all your rift bosses every week. Field bosses kind of irrelevant still. Main bosses to do, Garmoth, morning light bosses, Vel, Quint, and Maraca or at least just Quint at very minimum. And then
Speaker A
that's about it. So with that said, that's what I do every week. Hope you guys enjoyed the rundown.
Speaker A
If you have any questions, happy to point you all in the right direction. And yeah, I'll see you guys tomorrow for upcoming stuff. I'll see you guys later. Peace.
