Node & Conquest War For Dummies Prepares Budding Warriors

Daum has published a handy dandy guide to the Node and Conquest War system that will be arriving in Black Desert Online on June 15th. The guide covers the reasons behind node and conquest wars, how everyone can take part, how to build node forts (along with facts about days, conditions and levels), and a tl;dr about the basic rules, building strategies, the fundamentals of battle, and the occupation of nodes.

Most areas of the game world belong to nodes. Node War is a battle to gain ownership of these nodes. Once the node is occupied, the occupying guild will retain the ownership for a week, receiving part of the worldwide tax collection to fund their guild bank, which can be used for the growth of the guild later.

Conquest War, also known as the Seige War, is much bigger than a node war in scale. Node War fights for a single node, but Conquest War fights for the sovereignty of a vast continent. The continent is referred to as a territory, and each territory has a number of nodes. If a guild occupies Territory A, that means the guild has gained the honor of ruling A. Of course, let’s not forget about the qualitative and quantitative growth of the guild coming from the massive amount of tax collections.

It's a huge and comprehensive guide that should give budding warriors a leg up on the non-studious competition. Check it out on the Black Desert Online site.
