Black Desert Online - Alchemy Stone Guide 2020

What font do you use?

Chill intro music, calm approach. Thoughtful content. Clear spoken. I'm just starting my alchemy stuff. Thanks for the breakdown.

Welcome back man !!

back to BDO, huh, nice nice !! still playing archage ? just curious.

6 Bil, HOT DAAM !! do you a think it's a pursuable endeavor to make money ?

Could you do a in depth guide on Alchemy? Great video! Very informational!

So archage is dead?

Woooooooo david is back , i support you bro

Yaaaaaaaaaay yaaaaaay back to bdo

It would have been good to actually see you enhance alchemy stones with commentary to see how it works in action and what to strive for

alchemy master lvl is needed?

Hey man I started BDO recently and want to get into alchemy do u have any videos or would u recommend any guides to start alchemy

I watched this, tried polishing it. (Blue Sturdy) and it failed, went down to Polished and failed 18 more times and didnt move. So i dont know but it seems like its more then a 40% chance of failing. just a heads up.

nice house bud

From that you said colour>grade then after what grade that I should restart if I dont get a yellow colour to make I dont waste money

Do you start at imperfect stones and go up from there?

Great video! I just didn't get a thing... What grade and color do you start upgrading at? Imperfect yellow? Also you have to account for the price of the stone you work on when calculating profit. :) I might have missed that ... Anyway thanks for the video. I'm new to BDO and your videos are helpful.
Edit: I might've found the answer...

Very glad you’re back David. You’re videos are very in depth. Only thing I saw was missing was you can grind down the disposable alchemy stones for recharge material.

From time to time I do grow Destruction Stones for money, I mostly use Platinum Crystals (I buy the ores in large quantities and process it to crystals).


Are you saying in your video that Lead and Iron Ingots would be more efficient than those? I'll need to look into it. Also you probably answered that question in the video somewhere but when you say you made 2 yellow sharps, where do you start from? The previous form or from scratch?


TY for the video very informative!

So going full one with this via console. You upgrade from white imperfect. If it downgrade to rough blue or imperfect blue start over?
Is that how you used so many stones?

Nice in-depth guide! Thanks for sharing those informations, i think im gonna start with it tommorow, do you have any tips or things i should pay attention on? Sadly i dont have near 1 billion or so. but i could invest with 120mio hmmm :/

So I need a stone for fishing,gathering,processing and cooking would the blue life spirit stone be better than the blue sturdy Alchemy stone of life? Would appreciate the help thanks.

I don't understand on the spreadsheet what does the stones used mean is it like jewelry where you need another alchemy stone to enhance?

Glad I stumbled on to this. I just might have to change a couple of my fences to some fruits and do a few life stone upgrade attempts on the side for some extra money.

how do you repair the stones?

Do you keep going with rough green stones or do you get rid of those?

I ve gt tns of plywood and special sweet potatoes.
I had mods lywood long ago but never knew what could be used for.
I just got a alchemy outfit for my Shai .
How should start this ?.
Life stones I heard you say the % s.
Give me a idea of a list of materials needed .
Let's say I have a goal to make two bill in 1 month

Hello David, do you mind sharing the spreadsheet? Thanks man. your vids are always of great help

How do I make a stone? Or just buy a weak one?

My RNG is just too bad, I've tried like 30-40 attempts to get back my 270m Sturdy Alchemy Stone of Life but all of them failed. I should've just bought straightly from the market tho

Honestly its old as of now but very useful, its simple and straight foward, clear loud speaker's voice etc etc just over all great video much appreciated usually dont sub to literally anyone but you surely earned my sub.

There's seems to be missing information, any chance you have a site that I can read? I'm confused with what level you have to be, what ingredients for the blood, how to get those ingredients? What is the difference from alchemy stone and spirit stone?

first time upgrading a stone, would like to know if im doing anything wrong. Im upgrading a polished stone of life at 80% exp. currently at 75 attempts with no success. is it just bad rng?

Hey dude, this guide was really really helpful and I noticed a lot of profit can be done, with such low investment or risk. Would u be so kind to share the spreadsheet model you're using? It would be great to track my tries and I'm not good at making one :( @Melting Seoul

Stones seem like a late game endeavor

They should really add a fail buffer to making alchemy stones... like the cron stones are for high level gear... more people would try out alchemy if they didn't feel like it was so time consuming and risky.

very detailed and well explained, nice

I guess you're the luckiest guy on earth.

Lol, 6.5k per special strawberry, imagine that. Now they're around 30k each on EU.
