Black Desert Mobile: Complete Treasure Guide for Beginners to Endgame – Master the Treasure System &

If you just started playing Black Desert Mobile and see all those "Treasures" in other players' inventories—they have such cool names and flashy effects—you’re probably thinking to yourself: These must be pay-to-win exclusive items, right?
Well, not exactly! BDM's Treasure System is more like a long-term checklist: you might not notice it affecting your gameplay in the early stages, but once you hit mid to late game, you’ll start realizing—

• Without infinite-supply Treasures in tough dungeons, your survivability drops drastically

• Without Treasures for gathering, mining, or logging, you’ll waste tons of stamina running back and forth for resources

• The small savings from market transaction tax add up to hundreds of millions of silver over time

• Some Treasures even unlock home island features, creating a long-term resource cycle

There’s a catch to accessing the Treasure System: you first need to upgrade your Camp’s Town Hall to Tier 8 and build Orzeca’s Garden before you can access the Treasure System from the main menu.
In this guide, I’ll break it down from a veteran player’s perspective: Which Treasures are worth prioritizing, how to get their materials, the best ways to open treasure chests, and how to plan your progression so you don’t waste time.

I. Opening Guide & Treasure System Overview

A. Core Value

If you want to play Black Desert Mobile smoothly and comfortably, Treasures aren’t optional add-ons—they’re fundamental boosts for daily efficiency, higher dungeon survivability, and long-term silver accumulation, which are key to enjoying the late game.

B. What Does the Treasure System Actually Do?

The Treasure System is roughly divided into three categories, each catering to different play styles:

1. Combat Treasures: The classic example is infinite supplies, which let you keep going during boss fights or cross-server battles without running out, greatly boosting your sustained combat ability.

2. Life Skill Treasures: When gathering, mining, or logging, these let you focus all stamina on a single resource node, saving you tons of time running around to find resources and making daily life skills way smoother.

3. Economic Treasures: They cut market transaction taxes and give family-wide buffs. The long-term difference is huge—they’re great for making silver.

One more reminder: to access the Treasure System, you have to do one thing first:

• Town Hall upgrade to Tier 8 → Build Orzeca’s Garden → Main Menu > Treasure entrance

C. Quick Newbie Guide: Avoid These Mistakes

If you’re at these stages in the game:

• Brand-new player: Treat Treasures as a long-term plan—don’t rush to grind for materials just for a few items, just accumulate slowly.

• Mid-game player: Prioritize Life Skill Treasures that boost daily efficiency first—saving time on daily gathering is more important.

• Late-game veteran: Then focus on infinite supplies, market tax reduction rings, and cosmetic end-game Treasures for the best possible experience.

II. Core Treasures & Their Useful Effects

In this section, I’ll categorize them by real-life use cases—it’s way easier than getting confused by too many Treasure names and wasting time.

A. Magnate Series Treasures

1) Merchant’s Ring

This one’s straightforward: Reduces Market Transaction Fees. Official patch notes make it clear:

• Merchant’s Ring: 5% off market taxes

• This effect saves you a ton of silver, which adds up significantly over the long run.

• It's shared by your entire family!

   

  Player real feedback:
  You might not notice a difference when selling small amounts of stuff, but once you start listing tons of materials, gear, Lightstones, Black Stones, and all that random junk daily, that 5% tax reduction will quietly add up to a huge amount—those saved silvers can do so many things!

  2) Magnate's Ring

  This is the upgraded version of the Merchant's Ring:

  • Magnate’s Ring: adds an extra 3% Market Tax reduction

  • If you craft the Magnate’s Ring, your total Market Tax reduction becomes 8%!

   

  Quick reminder: Later official game updates changed how knowledge entries for these treasures are displayed~ So don't stress over where the knowledge is located—just focus on crafting the treasure itself, that's the most practical thing!

  3) Materials & Unlock Logic for the Magnate's Ring

  The official game update explicitly emphasized this: If you want to use the "Merchant’s Ring" as a material to craft the "Magnate’s Ring", you must first register the two knowledge entries: "Muremos’ Records" and "Black Dragon Tablet"
  In simpler terms:

  • This isn't a case where you just gather all materials and craft immediately—the system also requires you to complete the corresponding required materials or knowledge first, and only then will the ring upgrade option unlock for you!

  If you want more detailed player-made guides, there are plenty of dedicated guide posts about this in Taiwan and Hong Kong's local game communities!

  B. Sea Treasure Set

  If you often sail the open sea and explore ocean zones, these treasures will make your homestead resource and supply cycles much smoother and more useful:

  1) Moretti's Pouch

  The official game's treasure description page says this pouch is mainly for "life skills":

  • When used, it restores 100 Satiety

  • And it's reusable too

  Many players who've used it say:
  This is a total godsend for players who do pet feeding, ranching, or homestead resource cycles! You don't have to worry about forgetting to feed your pets, or Satiety dropping to zero and breaking your entire homestead resource and supply chain!

  2) Moretti's Pouch Material Clues

  The official game lists three materials needed to craft this pouch:

  • Wave of the Forest

  • Gardaka Gold Coin

  • Golden Sunset Figurehead

  Many players also shared their actual experience obtaining these:

  • Some materials require specific gameplay activities to get, which will take a bit of time, but once you craft it, you'll get permanent convenience!

  3) Nabaon Seed

  The official game's description is very clear:

  • When planting crops like "Golden Apple Trees" in your homestead garden, you can harvest 300 Food

  • Harvest time is roughly once per hour

  • And it's reusable—meaning you can plant and harvest in cycles

  Especially if you're the type of player who:

  • Wants to stabilize your homestead's food source

  • Or often does dispatch quests or life skill content
    Then this treasure that generates resources in cycles is definitely a stable basic resource source you get as soon as you craft it!

  C. Legendary Treasures

  1) Onet's Blessing Potion

  Early in the official game's update introductions, this potion was positioned as "the first notable thing in the game worth

  The "Must-Go-After Treasure":

  • When used, it restores 1000 HP

  • Plus, the devs specifically highlighted it as one of the iconic targets in the game’s entire Treasure system

  Many players’ actual experience after using it:

  • Whether you’re tackling tough dungeons, grinding through long story quests, or engaging in extended PVP matches

  • You’ll never have to worry about running out of potions again—your entire mindset will be way more relaxed

  • Especially in those "one-hit away from wiping" emergency moments, this potion’s infinite supply is your absolute lifesaver

  2) Freya’s Blessing Potion

  In the player-curated treasure lists, this potion is described as:

  • Restores 700 HP when used

  • Infinite uses available, with a roughly 3-second cooldown

  3) The 3-Piece Set Synthesis Logic: You Don’t Pick Up the "Final Product" Directly—You First Gather "Material Treasures"

  The Ornette synthesis path sorted out by players is super clear:

  • You need to collect: Hadum’s Lantern + Kamasylve’s Delicate Leaf + Atanis’ Tranquility

  • Only after gathering all three can you synthesize or assemble the target final treasure

  This is actually the most common pattern for Black Desert Mobile treasures:
  First craft "functional material treasures" → then use them to synthesize "end-game treasures."

  D. Other Core Treasures

  These treasures are 100% the kind you’ll use daily once you craft them—especially when you start managing Stamina as a precious resource, they become absolute efficiency powerhouses!

  1) Omar’s Iron Pickaxe

  The official website directly lists its core effects:

  • Automatically changes your tool’s appearance when in your inventory, no manual switching needed
  • When mining at the same node, it drains all your current Stamina to mine the entire node at once
  Players’ real-test reviews:
  "No need to move around, no need to find nodes, super easy to operate"—once you start mining huge amounts daily, you’ll know how OP this thing is!

   

  2) Florin Hoe

  Also a must-have god-tier item for life players:

  • Takes effect in your inventory, no need to equip it
  • For the same grass or gathering node, it uses all your current Stamina to gather everything at once

   

  3) Trent Axe

  The official mentions its crafting materials include items like Ring of Vows, Valtarra’s Flame, and Ring of a Thousand-year-old Tree. Players’ summed-up core advantage:
  This is definitely the most broken item for woodcutting players! No more "chop one tree then run to the next"—it cranks daily woodcutting efficiency to the max.

  III. Treasure Crafting & Combination Methods

  The logic of crafting treasures can actually be broken down into 3 levels to understand—super straightforward:

  A. Treasure Crafting Basics: Figure Out the "System Entrance & Shared Mechanics" First

  • Entrance: Main Menu > Treasure tab
  • Many treasure effects are "family-wide," especially economic ring-type items

  B. Detailed Treasure Combination: 3 Common Synthesis Types

  1. Delivery Type: Prepare the required materials → Give them to the corresponding NPC → Get the treasure’s crafting material
     • Player example: Hand over specific materials to the designated NPC to complete the step
  2. Rare Drop Type: Kill a specific World Boss, or there’s a chance to get it in a specific map
     • Example: Players mention Cipher of Light is a rare drop from a specific World Boss in the Great Desert
  3. Material Treasures → End-Game Treasure Synthesis: The most typical example is the 3-piece set synthesis mechanism for infinite potions

   

  C. Identification & Optimization System: Don't let those "shards" just sit there as decorations in your inventory!

  Take the most common "Giant Merchant Ring Shard" as an example—Taiwan server's official announcement specifically mentioned:

  • You can take the treasure shards you have to go to Shakar for identification. After identification, the shards will become recognizable, and you'll also gain corresponding in-game knowledge

  Players' friendly reminder:
  "Identify shards as soon as you see them"—otherwise, you'll easily get stuck in confusion like "Which shard am I missing?" and waste a lot of time!

  IV. How to Obtain Treasure Materials & Farming Locations

  I'll categorize this part based on "what you usually play" because most Black Desert Mobile treasure materials are scattered across different gameplay modes, not concentrated in just one.

  A. Great Desert Route: If you're willing to venture deep into the desert, you've got a chance to get great stuff

  Based on other players' compilations:

  • Cipher of Light: Rare drop from the Great Desert world boss Ancient Kutum
  • Ancient Seed: Rare drop from monsters in the Great Desert's Hystria area
    Additionally, the official has announced game adjustments or exchange methods related to these treasure materials.

  Players' recommended playstyle:

  • Don't have the mindset of "I must get it today if I want it today"—it's easier to farm with a periodic rhythm.
  • First, make the desert daily quests a routine, and slowly accumulate drop rates so you don't feel stressed.

  B. Hadum Route: The place you AFK every day can actually help you get treasure material

  Players' compiled info:

  • Hadum’s Lantern: You need to complete challenging achievement criteria to obtain it.
  • Atanis’ Tranquility: You need to prepare specific items and turn them in to a particular NPC to get it.

  Players' advice:
  The Hadum Route is perfect for "fragmented execution":

  • Never push yourself to the limit all at once—you'll easily burn out mentally.
  • Just spend a little time AFKing each day and accumulate materials slowly.
  • Do it while working on achievement criteria, and it'll feel way more steady.

  C. Life Playstyle: Turn Stamina from "Just Consumption" to "Long-Term Investment"

  The official introduction has long made the role of the three life artifacts crystal clear:

  • Omar Pickaxe: Drains all Stamina from a single mining node in one go

  • Florin Hoe: Drains all Stamina from a single crop harvesting node

  • Trent Axe: Same for a single logging node

  Many players' honest take after testing: The treasures that make you feel like you're "really earning" aren't usually combat-focused ones—they're these life-based treasures, since you use them every day.

  V. Gathering System & Life Skills

  Black Desert Mobile's life playstyle easily splits players into two types:
  Type A: Spam Stamina as soon as it's full, gather whatever resource comes to mind
  Type B: Treat Stamina as "stable fixed income" and follow a fixed routine every day.

  If you want to follow this stable Type B path, I have a great strategy for you to refer to:

  A. Deep Dive into Gathering System: Stamina = Your Daily "Resource Allowance"

  • Early game: Gather whatever resource you're lacking—totally fine

  • Mid game: When you start crafting various treasures, direct Stamina to focus on "production lines for treasure materials"

  • Late game: Stamina can even be used as a "production line for in-game market goods"

  B. Life Skills Application: Once you craft the three life treasures, your routine changes

  The old routine was something like: Find resource node→Gather once→Hurry to find next node→Total hassle
  With these three life treasures: Find a good resource node→Use all Stamina at once→Call it a day
  The time you save can be used for:

  • Do one more round of daily quests

  • Fight the world boss one more time

  • AFK in a resource dungeon one more time
    Over time, you'll naturally pull ahead of other players

  C. Territory Residents System: The "Invisible Engine" of your Homestead Loop

  Like Moretti’s back

  Items like satchels and Navarn Seeds essentially help smooth out the internal loop of your Stronghold. If you've already started prioritizing Resident Dispatch, Garden Planting, and Livestock Raising, their value is way bigger than new players might think.

  VI. Treasure Tasks & Title Unlocks

  Here are two things you’re super likely to miss:

  A. Treasure-Related Tasks: Many Unlock Only After You Obtain the Treasure

  Some treasures in other Black Desert titles even unlock titles, furniture, or full questlines—and you’ll find a lot of the same mechanics in Black Desert Mobile:

  • You need to own the treasure to unlock any follow-up content. So don’t just shove the treasure in your storage and forget about it—at least check if there’s a related questline waiting for you.

  B. Title System: No Big Power Boost, But A Status Symbol For Veteran Players

  Black Desert titles often feel like proof that you’ve survived the grind. Treasure-related titles are almost never easy to get.

  C. Shakatu Coin Shop & Identification Mechanic: Get Appraisals As Soon As Possible To Avoid Wasting Time

  We talked about the appraisal logic for Merchant Ring Shards before: take the shards to Shakatu for a detailed appraisal, and they’ll become identifiable and even unlock related lore.

  VII. Treasure Chests & Reward Systems

  I’m going to explain this like an accountant because the biggest pitfall with treasure chests is:
  you think you’re pulling for a top-tier rare prize, but you’re actually just getting a "ticket" to reach that prize.

  A. Forgotten Ancient Treasure Chest: Tiered Drop Rates

  The official breakdown is pretty detailed:

  • Forgotten Ancient Treasure Chests → can drop things like Glyph Treasure Chests or Ancient Treasure Chests, and often include:

  • Cron Stones

  • Memory Fragments

  • and Faded Gold Seals

  What Can You Do With These Gold Seals?

  The official exchange list is:

  • 70 Seals: Advanced Enhancement Box

  • 30 Seals: Radiant Glyph Treasure Chest

  • 15 Seals: Sweet Enhancement Box

  • 5 Seals: Forgotten Ancient Treasure Chest

  • 1 Seal: Small Cron Stone Box

  Player Strategies:

  • If you’re not planning to spend real money, treat these chests as a "Seal farming chain". Don’t expect to pull the top-tier prize every time—these chests are classic examples of tiered drop rate systems.

  B. Glistening Treasure Chests: It’s One More Layer To Navigate

  Based on the test data from the Taiwan server for Glistening Chests:

  • When you open a "Shakatu’s Glistening Chest", you have a high chance of getting a "Glistening Adventure Chest" first, and only a tiny chance of directly getting a "Glistening Treasure Chest". The real prize pool with lots of Cron Stones and Gold Bar Boxes is inside the "Glistening Treasure Chest".

  Player Tips:
  When dealing with these chests, use "expected value" to make your call:

  • Are you short on Cron Stones? Or are you craving a game-changing top reward?

  • Players with big resource gaps are better off treating this as a long-term resource farm—don’t approach these chests with a gambler’s mindset.

  C. Wave-Infused Treasure Chests: Classic "Layered Progression" Chests

  The official data makes its reward path super clear:
  Wave-Infused →→→→→ that kind of progression structure

  Player Tips:
  When you get these chests, first figure out what you need:

  • Do you want consistent mid-tier resources?

  • Or are you willing to go for the top reward? Because its design logic is:
    Most players will stop at mid-tier, only a few lucky ones get the top-tier prize.

  VIII. Progress Planning & Prioritization

  This section dives into how to plan your progress and set priorities, breaking down what to focus on first to make the most of your treasures and resources moving forward.

  These super important details—I’ve put together a “Treasure Crafting Roadmap” for you all, follow this and you’ll save tons of unnecessary wasted time.

  A. Beginner Treasure Recommendations

  Core Goal: Make your daily gameplay smoother and unlock the Treasure System.

  1. First, complete basic camp construction: Upgrade the Town Hall to Tier 8 → Unlock Orzeca’s Garden → This will activate the Treasure System

  2. For players focused on life skills first:

  • Mainly daily mining: Prioritize the Omar Pickaxe crafting route

  • Mainly frequent resource gathering: Follow Florin Hoe’s route first

  • Mainly regular woodcutting: Make Trent Axe your mid-term priority

  Beginner Tips:
  Don’t rush to chase “the hardest-to-obtain materials” at the start—you might ruin your gaming mindset within your first week.

  B. Advanced Treasure Planning

  Core Goal: Increase combat survivability + build a long-term stable resource cycle

  1. Infinite Supply Line

  • Slowly collect materials needed for the 3-piece set, then craft the main parts step by step

  1. Homestead Resource Cycle

  • Make your food supply, satiety management, and dispatch quest cycles more stable and smooth

  C. Endgame Treasures

  Core Goal: Get economy-focused rings + cosmetic/collectible-oriented treasures

  1. Market Tax Ring Line: Upgrade from Merchant’s Ring step by step to Magnate’s Ring

  • This gives a 5% to 8% market transaction fee reduction, and this effect is shared across your entire family

  1. Cosmetic Treasures
     According to player data:

  • You can exchange for related materials with Honor Medals, or get info on some crafting routes

  D. Priority Recommendations

  • If you want both strength and comfort: Craft life-skill focused treasures first → Then get Infinite Supply-related treasures → Finally handle market rings and collectible treasures

  • If you plan to go the merchant route: Craft the market ring first → Then prepare life-skill treasures → Plan the rest slowly

  IX. Common Questions & Advanced Guides

  A. Basic Beginner Questions

  Q1: Do I have to pay real money to get treasures?
  A: Nope! Lots of treasures are obtainable just by putting in time and playing the game. Paying only speeds up resource turnover, most core materials still come from gameplay or monster drops—you don’t have to spend money to get them.

  Q2: Can I craft treasures if my combat power is not enough?
  A: You can craft some of them. Life-skill treasures rarely require max combat power—you can start crafting once you finish basic daily gameplay, no need to wait until your combat power is fully maxed out.

  Compared to combat-focused treasures, the top pick for low combat power players is definitely “life-skill treasures”—they have low barriers to entry, are super easy to make, and are useful almost every day while grinding mobs or doing daily quests.

  B. Game Progress & Development-Related Questions

  Q3: Should I prioritize Infinite Supply?
  A: If you’re always getting chipped down to low HP in dungeons or quests, Infinite Supply is really valuable. But if you’re still a beginner, it’s more stable to start with life-skill treasures first to boost your daily efficiency.

  C. Game System & Internal Mechanism-Related Questions

  Q4: I have all the materials, why can’t I craft the ring?
  A: Take the market tax ring line as an example, there’s an in-game hidden restriction—you must complete specified records or slate registrations first before you can further upgrade or craft higher-tier rings.

  D. Resource Efficiency & Practical Tips

   

  Q5: Materials drop purely by luck—how do I avoid grinding till I burn out?
  A: Think of collecting materials as a "small, recurring goal":

  • Do relevant dungeons or event content once every day as part of your routine

  • Treat getting materials as a nice surprise, but it’s totally fine if you don’t get any

  • Stick to the mindset that "every little bit counts"—this keeps you from getting frustrated, and you’ll actually get what you want more easily in the long run

  X. Rare Treasure Guides & Hidden Content You Might Overlook

  Here are two concepts that you might miss, but they’ll help your progress a ton:

  A. Rare Materials Are Tied to Events & Island Exploration

  The official update notes once mentioned:
  Some rare treasure materials are hidden in island exploration content or the story lines of exploration rewards.
  For players, the practical takeaway is:
  “Don’t just grind mobs for combat resources all day—some treasure materials are actually in event exploration lines.”

  B. Don’t Rush to Grind Materials Marked "In Progress"

  Some player-compiled info lists mark certain materials as "still being sorted out" or "sources not fully confirmed."
  My advice here:
  Finish treasure items that you can reliably get with confirmed steps first. Put those with unknown sources on hold temporarily—don’t waste time on unpredictable pitfalls.

  XI. How Version Updates Affect the Treasure System

  Here’s a key mindset to keep:
  The way you obtain treasures will change with version updates.

  Here are a few examples:

  • The Marketplace Ring was officially added to the Treasure System in an update, with details like its tax reduction rate and family-shared rules being made public

  • Later, things like UI displays and activation requirements might be adjusted too

  • Some chest rewards can also change with versions or seasons

  Players’ practical tip:
  If you’re working on a treasure, quickly check the update notes whenever keywords like “Treasure,” “Ring,” “Chest,” or “Materials” pop up—this kind of adjustment can save you weeks of grinding.

  XII. Community Resources & Advanced Guides

  I totally get asking to exclude Chinese mainland game sites—mixing info from different regions of the same game can get confusing and even misleading.
  I recommend looking for resources in this priority order:

  1. Official Adventurer’s Guide / Official Update Notes

  2. Hong Kong & Taiwan Large Player Communities: The processes shared here fit players’ conversational logic better, perfect for filling in the details of "how to do each step"

  3. Game Tool Sites: Super convenient for checking material lists and delivery requirements—but pay attention to the update date of the tool site, and which items are marked as "still being sorted out" (unconfirmed)

  The Treasure System in *Black Desert Mobile* is essentially a long-term investment that requires patience.
  You don’t need to rush for full completion, but you must have a clear direction:

  • In the early game, focus on crafting "life-based treasures" to boost daily efficiency

  • In the mid-game, treat the "Infinite MP Potion" as a core safety net in combat to reduce deaths

  • In the late game, go for the "Marketplace Tax-Reduction Ring" to build your own economy

  • Finally, collect collection and cosmetic treasures to become a true veteran player

  If you need, I can also make a "1-week treasure progress schedule" tailored to your current game state: tell you what to do each day, which content to do for materials on the side, and which chests to save for events—so your treasure progress stays steady.
