Information about the Bdo Pearl Shop

The cash shop is weird, and here is our picks for the best bang for your buck!

No items in the cash shop are necessary to be competitive but some are better than others. Our goal is not to discuss whether items are Pay2Win or overpriced but to talk about which items are more useful than others. At the end we’ll include some recommended collections based on a few different budgets. We hope that the information provided here can help you!

Top Cash Shop Items

These are items we think are incredibly valuable to have and make the game a lot more fun to play.

• Pets ($9.00 USD each) – Get 1 of each below. Only try for high tier pets if you have deep pockets ($100+ budget). It will cost you $18 per attempt to get a higher tier pet as your merge 2 similar pets together.
  • Cats detect nearby gathering nodes
  • Dogs detect flagged PVP players
  • Hawks detect nearby elite mobs
• Weight Limit Increase ($6.00 to $29.50 USD)
  • You can buy one of each Weight increase. All combined would cost $29.50 Get what you can afford but this will have priority over Inventory Space
  • Weight Limit is also very hard to increase. There are some items that increase it and you can carry trade packs to very slowly increase your strength but being able to buy 300 LT increase right away is a big boost.

Nice to have Cash Shop Items

These items are nice to have but you really don’t need them to enjoy the game to it’s fullest. Certain items may appeal to different players.

• Inventory Space Upgrade (About $1.00 per slot)
  • You can get over 30 inventory slots via quests so only buy these if you find yourself running into inventory issues.
• Costumes ($32 USD)
  • Costumes look nice and provide some small bonuses that don’t provide a ton of value. I would say you need to love the costume to make it worth spending so much on it.
  • Bonuses for entire set: 10% Increased EXP, +0.5 meter jump height, Stamina +100, Decreases Weapon Durability loss 10%, 10% Decreased Death Penalty

Items to Avoid

• Belle Epoque Wagon Set ($20 USD)
• Dark Thorn Fishing Boat ($20 USD)

Why avoid these 2 items? Yes they include a token to redeem both a Wagon and a Fishing Boat but they are very overpriced. You will be able to buy wagons for 200-400k silver and fishing boats for 600-900k silver or you can just craft them yourself. These are totally not worth the price and there are much better items to spend your money on.
