Black Desert Online – How to Level the Gathering Skill

by Falagar / Articles, Black Desert Online / 03 Nov 2019

In my opinion, the fastest way to level this skill is to find a patch of a dense, little-used forest, get a fluid collector or an ax of the highest quality you can use, and just go wild gathering as fast as you can in the forest.

Some players might tell you to go find the rare gemstones as they give higher experience, which is correct. However, the gemstones are usually far apart, and during the time needed to find them, you could have gotten much more experience collecting sap or lumbering wood from trees. Also, logs are a valuable commodity, selling for a decent price in the marketplace.

Of course, if you need rough stones or something else not gathered from trees, then you should do that. But if the main goal is to increase your skill, then the trees are your best bet.

Special clothes give a bonus to experience earned, so having them equipped when you go gather will speed up your leveling. You can either use the ones that you get as a reward for reaching apprentice 1 or the silver embroidered ones mentioned above. If you can enhance the silver embroidered clothes to at least +2 then using them is the better choice.

Pets give life experience bonus, +1% per tier of the pet. This means that three pets were each is at tier 2 will give a total of +6% bonus to life experience, which includes gathering. So remember to have your pets out and fed to give the bonus.

Finally, there are also potions and food which increase the life experience you gain, such as Sute Tea which gives +8% to life skills, so if you’re in a hurry, you should drink that before leveling your skill.
