BDO: Where to buy shovels?

If you are at that point where you need to go in the desert, be sure to bring plenty of shovels.  There are quite a few quests where you need to dig in the desert and very few places to find shovels. You can not buy shovels at the marketplace.  You need to look for Material Vendors in the various cities.

In Heidel: Flaviano

In Tarif: Eren Ross

In Altinova: Lashir

In Rock Post: Gavid

In Sands Grain Bazaar: Kulahuth

In Shakatu: Arenda

In Valencia: Purajin

I usually leave shovels, compass, water, and Star Anise Tea in the storage at Shakatu, Sands Grain and Valencia.

There are more places to buy shovels – I’m just listing a few on the way to and from the desert.  Also, when I go into the desert, I always have 50 or more shovels in my inventory.

Quest 18: An Exhausting Situation

When you reach Maghed and give him 2 gold bars.  He is going to give you a new quest.

Basically, you will need to run around and kill a few Gahaz bandits and go back to Maghed.

Quest 19: Obtain Golden Desert Coin.

This will send you in the desert again – so you will need your shovels and compass.

You will need to travel pretty far in the desert (where it’s marked on the map) and dig up some coins.

Center yourself exactly in the middle of the mini map quest circle.  Keep digging there and you will get 5 coins.

You won’t get a coin each time but keep digging there.

Once you find the 5 coins, ride back to Valencia and talk to Afuara.

Hand over the 5 coins to him.  He won’t give you the next quest.

20: For God’s Sake!

The Black Spirit will be pissed you handed coins over to that troll and call you stupid.

He will tell you to go talk to Zobadi.  Just do it and let’s get this questline over.

Once, you meet Zobadi in Valencia, he will give you yet another quest.

Go steal a storage key from Afuara (F6) and go to Arehaza – which is the town to the east of Valencia.

21 Quest: The Same Method

Once you speak to the storage keeper – the Black Spirit will give you a quest.

Go back to Valencia and find  King Sahazad

Quest 14th: Moving Ahead

I think out of all the quests, this one was the most challenging in the beginning.  You have to dig in the circle to find a quest item but the thing was that you actually had to be outside of the circle to find it.   See pictures.

You are just a smudge just outside of the mini map circle – facing these two rocks.  (Not too close to them and at this angle)

Zobadi is behind you – The man by the white horse. As you can see – you are in front of him..near these two rocks.

You might have to dig a few times and adjust yourself at the right angle.  Remember, if you avie is inside the yellow circle on the mini map – you need to move it outside just a tad.

Black Desert has never fixed this quest in the years I have been playing..no idea why.

Now, you need to go back to Valencia and talk to Afuaru to get the next quest.

Quest 15: Memories of Eliza.

You need to go talk to Tatar. He is the drunk down by the lake and you need to steal a key from him to open the chest after you talk to him.

This will take you several times and you will be amazed how much useless shit he has in his robe.

 

Once, you have the key, open up your inventory and align the box and the key together to open it.

Then go hand the diamond/chest to afuara.

Quest 16: Rabam’s Storage Key

You just need to steal a key from Rabam in the training area and go give it to the storage keep, Ramanit.

She will then give you a journal to give to Afuara.

Quest 17: Gold Bar Required

Bring 20G of gold bars and travel back to the Gahaz Bandits.  It’s in BFE.

7th Quest that you get from Afuara is: Grave Robber’s First Steps.

You will need to go on your horse/camel into the desert where it’s marked on the map.

It’s a good idea to have a compass on you.  You can buy compass parts on the marketplace.

You need 3 parts and attach them together to get the compass.

Make sure to have your shovels.  How many?  That is up to you.  If you are new to this quest, I would bring at least 50.

You can find shovels at a materials vendor in Valencia.

Find Afuara’s Flag for the next quest.

The 8th quest: Find a luxurious decorative necklace.

This sounds harder than what it is.  I literally only used one shovel and you can see how far away I am from the flag.

Once you find the necklace, drag your happy ass back to Valencia and hand over the necklace to Afuara.

9th Quest: Second Suggestion. Find Zobadi and speak to him.  Go back to Afuara. (Because that’s how gossip works)

10th Quest:  Zobadi’s Information

You will need to go to a temple just outside of Valencia city.

You talk to this kid and he tells you basically “Z” is a big ass crook and you move on to the next quest.

11th Quest:

You jump back on your horse and ride back to Valencia to find that bastard.  (because you probably don’t have anything better to do)

Of course, he’s missing.  What an ahole!

12th Quest: Tracking Zobadi……because why not.

Right by the sign, is all of Zobadi’s friends.  They are all pretty much useless when it comes to information.

Pro Tip Talk to the midget first.

You don’t need the other two friends quest.  Just the midget one.

13th Quest: Tracking Missing Zobadi

You are going further out in the desert.  Bring your compass and your shovels.

You will find Zobadi playing with rocks in the desert and not even the good kind.  Click him for the next quest.
