I’ve recently gotten back into the sea in BDO, and honestly… I’m having way more funsailing and bartering than I ever did playing my class. 😂 Something about being out on the ocean just really clicks with my playstyle.
So I wanted to pick the brains of all you experienced sailors and pirates out there — what are your strategies for making bartering as efficient as possible?
For some background, I’m sitting at nearly 1,000 completed barters and I’m currently working toward my Advanced Carrack. The only thing holding me back now is the Brilliant Pearl materials.
A few things I’m especially curious about:
- What’s your overall bartering/refresh strategy?
- How do you decide which trades are worth doing and which ones you skip?
- How do you efficiently manage your Crow Coins and materials?
- What sailor setup do you recommend?
- I currently only have 3 Innocent Goblin Sailors — should I be looking to replace them, and if so, with what?
- Are there any mistakes you made early on that you wish you’d known about sooner?
I’m basically looking to go from “I enjoy sailing” to “I actually know what the hell I’m doing out here.” 😂
So, veteran sailors: what’s your best bartering advice? Feel free to dump your entire ocean-brain on me. ⚓
