Early game grind spots:Assumes buffed with Simple Cron Meal.
Mid game grind spots:Assumes at least level 60 with max awakening skill levels and common absolutes from mainhand tree depending on class. All mid tier spots assume buffed with Simple Cron, Ancient Grindstone/Villa buff, Destruction Spirit Stone.209 tri kutum:. (rely on price of belt / Black Magic Crystal) (assumes no villa buff)209 tet kutum:.
Sherekhans for hoom crystals + marnis and pila ku for scrolls220 tet kutum: can start grinding, especially if you’re a Musa. Try to get at least 2200 marks.220 tet kutum: Some parties will carry you at at this ap. If they offer do it. The money and the exp will make it easier to get to 235ap in the future, especially with capotia earring. (capotia ring, tri crescent, tet weapons, capotia earring, tri blue coral earring, tri orkinrad belt is enough to get 235ap for kinda cheap)220 tet kutum: Sycraia Underwater Ruins upper level can be done at this AP fairly well.
It’s not the best money though. Late game grind spots:Assumes at least level 60 (Hystria and Sycraia need higher levels or mobs will be purple and dodge your attacks) with max awakening skill levels and common absolutes from mainhand tree depending on class. All spots assume buffed with appropriate Cron meal, Ancient Grindstone/Villa buff, Destruction Spirit Stone, Giant’s Draught.235 tet kutum: makes an appearance here again. Many classes that weren’t able to get good loot at 220 kutum will be able to get decent loot at 235 kutum.
Manshaums is a very good spot for mobile classes and will often outpace Aakman grinding until 245 kutum on many classes. Drop rate is very important here as small mobu have as little as 37.5% chance to drop trash loot.
So things like ecology, Arsha server, luck rate, node level, etc. Are very important here! (simple cron)235 tet kutum: parties will take you at this AP. Expect about 1.9-2.1K trash loot an hour at main rotation. North America Party finder Discord here: (simple cron), 285+ DP: can do. Some classes can do it before this point like around 225 tet kutum (witch/wiz/archer/lahn), some classes can attempt hystria at this point (sorc, mystic).
Your goal is 3k trash without loot modifiers like item scrolls but it’s still worth if you only pull like 2.5k. Keep in mind some classes need even more AP to grind here and have it be worth more than previous spots, like 245 Kutum (Striker, Ranger, Mystic, Musa etc.) (energizing cron)Lv61+, full TET DR boss armor (296 DP): some classes like sorc and dk and mystic and warrior have a nice time at at this ap. Some others need to wait until 261 or even 265 nouver to get good at hystria and some never get there and will always make more money elsewhere. Aim for 1.5k trash before loot scrolls or better. (Exquisite Cron)Lv61+ 261 Nouver, 308+ DR based DP: Star’s End is a decent grind spot for Blackstar materials, and should be a good grind spot once erosion earrings are added to the game.Lv62+ 261+ TET/PEN Kutum, 324+ DR based DP: cuz squish (Simple Cron).
EditsEdit: forgot to include grass beetles at Olvia / Velia plains for over 1 billion silver an hour at 300 AP. Especially prioritize the big scary violent ones /sarcasm btwReal Edit: Some gems / items to help you grind at spots above your current gear level:.Dark Red Fang Valor glove crystals are great PvE options if you can’t afford JIN Vipers.
Once you’re around 300 accuracy you have a solid hit-chance against most mobu in the game except Hystria, Pila Ku, and Sycraia Abyss. These crystals give you 5 AP per and 2 crit which is really solid. Despite what people tell you hidden AP is real AP too.Valtarra Spirit Crystal helps in Kamasylvia places, and if you’re under 245 Kutum they’re marginally more effective than critical crystals with the added Kama mob damage as well as hidden AP. Highly recommended if you’re trying to do Manshaums/Mirumok at 220-244 AP.
Critical crystal still better at high AP though, but hidden AP and monster damage does help get over DR thresholds in the mid game.Macalod crystals help a bunch if you’re willing to sacrifice defense for additional hidden AP, accuracy, and stamina.Precision crystals are a must for mobu that you need to keep CC’d that have high resists. For example keeping Aakman mobs knocked down or Hystria mobs stiffened/stunned can increase your trash/hr by as much as 500/250 or more at Aakman/Hystria respectively. Outside of these places sometimes hidden AP crystals are better in mainhand but only marginally and precisions help in PvP too, so.Resistance crystals like RBF Adamantine and BMC Vigor / Intimidation help a lot when you’re starting out and don’t know how to avoid CC attacks from mobs.
Bound effects at Manshaum can slow you down considerably, and getting knocked down or stiff-locked at Aakman/Hystria can literally be the death of you. These don’t increase your damage but may help if you find you’re getting CC’d a lot.Real Edit 2: Linked grind spot review/guide/example videos to each grind spot that I could find a good one. Prioritized YouTubers like, and, as long as they had a relevant and decently up to date video available.
Keep in mind you may get different results, and to take each example with a grain of salt.Real Edit 3: Formatting.

It's difficult to maintain because of it's huge size and sometimes unannounced Knowledge changes in BDO. Also, switching all the programming over to work nicey nice with the new design framework would make me grouchy. Take note that it hasn't been updated in a while, but it's probably mostly accurate.
