PVP & PVE Death Penalties

BDO PVP Activation Swords

Characters of level 49 and under are safe from PVP, but player versus player combat can't be avoided at level 50 and beyond (You can run, but you can't hide.) After you complete the quest that lets you move past level 49, another player can "flag up" and attack you at any time, except in safe areas like cities and towns. The Black Spirit quest, [To Level 50!] Breaking New Ground, must be completed in order to level up from Lv. 49 to Lv. 50.

Unwanted PVP occurs most often because of hunting territory squabbles. If you don't like PVP, stay away from other player's "rotations" for popular grind spots. You will still get PVP'd while grinding, when someone wants to take your leveling spot, but it's not an every day occurance, if you choose grinding spots that are less poplular. Switch channels when grind spots are full.

PVP flagged characters have glowing red names above their heads.

Some players just enjoy playing the bad guy and killing others for sport. These players enjoy having negative Karma (aka red Karma). Negative Karma occurs when you "flag up" and keep killing players that aren't flagged for PVP (that don't have a red name) and your Karma points sink below 0.

PVP & PVE Death Penalties Depend Upon Karma:

  • PvE Death (you have 0+ Karma): Chance to lose crystals + guaranteed exp loss
  • PvE Death (you have negative Karma) Guaranteed exp/crystal loss + chance to lose 1 gear Enhancment level.
  • PvP Death (you have 0+ Karma): nothing happens
  • PvP Death (you have negative Karma): Guaranteed loss of crystals (usually 5 max) + guaranteed XP loss (more than Elion's Tear can recover) + chance to lose 1 gear Enhancment level
  • PVP Death in Desert (you have negative Karma): Jail time only: sentenced according to Karma (30/50/60 minutes) Desert area is in Valencia whenever you can't view yourself on the World Map. You will see a desert icon on your minimap.

Negative Karma players will be attacked by NPC guards, except in the criminal's town inside Valencia. Having extremely negative Karma can even destory the gear you are wearing upon death.

PVP penalties do not apply during node war, RBF (Red Battlefield), guild war declarations, duels, or arena.
PVE Penalties don't apply for some boss deaths. (Dark Rift bosses have no death penalty. World bosses do give death penalty.)
Arsha is a special PVP server that removes any Karma penalties, and also increases loot drops for level 50+ players.

Guild Benefits

BDO Guild Combat Skills Joining a guild has tangible benefits besides socializing and group activities. Guilds can earn points though guild quests and player advancement that they can spend on passive buffs to stats like Gathering, Fishing, and AP. There is also a daily contract payout amount that starts low and increases with time.

At one time, joining a medium or larger guild gave an extra daily attendance reward. This may happen again in the future.

NOTE: Guild pay outs coupled with active sea monster hunting is one way to earn silver for guilds that work together in vanquishing the terrors of the sea!
