The Orc Camp remains one of the most popular mid-game grinding spots in Black Desert Online, offering consistent silver and valuable drops. In this guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about grinding at Orc Camp in 2024—from the best routes and gear to maximize your efficiency, to tips for dealing with its unique mechanics.

Location and Node Investment

Orc Camp is located southwest of Heidel. Connecting nodes using contribution points is essential for maximizing drop rates. Investing energy into the Orc Camp node grants additional drop rate bonuses, up to 10% for level 10 and 20% if your guild controls the node.

How to Invest:

• Connect the node chain starting from Glish.
• Invest energy from all characters to maximize drop rates.

Recommended Gear and AP/DP Requirements

Orc Camp is a 260 AP / 340 DP spot, making it ideal for early to mid-game players. The goal here is consistent silver rather than RNG-dependent drops.

Recommended Gear:

• Armor: TRI Loggia or Manos Hunter’s Clothes for survival.
• Weapons: Kudum for additional survivability.
• Artifacts: Deathblow for extra AP or Demihuman Damage artifacts for enhanced kill speed.
• Crystals: Full AP and DPS-oriented setup.

Best Drops at Orc Camp

Orc Camp offers a mix of items that either can’t be sold on the market or are best kept for personal use:

• Trace of Nature: Used for crafting; consider stockpiling.
• Heart of the Arid Forest & Shard of the Furious Knight: Essential for crafting Cups to enhance accessories.
• Massa Pure Magic: Useful for enhancing and crafting.
• Sealed Black Magic Crystals: Recommended to keep for crafting higher-tier crystals.
• Blackstones: Useful for enhancing or selling directly.

Tip: Save most items unless you urgently need silver.

Optimal Grinding Rotations

Key Mechanics

• Prisons: Destroying all prisons in an area grants a powerful damage buff.
• Wizards: Must be killed to maintain the damage buff.
• Elvia Weapons: Provide a significant boost but have limited uptime.

Suggested Rotation:

1. Start at the right side, clearing packs and destroying prisons.
2. Move clockwise, ensuring all prisons are destroyed and wizards are killed.
3. Utilize Elvia weapons for faster clears.

Maximizing Silver per Hour

Orc Camp provides a stable 800 million to 1.2 billion silver per hour, depending on:

• Gear and AP: Higher AP results in faster clears.
• Elvia Weapons: Use them efficiently.
• Drop Rate Buffs: Invest in the node and use Agris Fever if available.

Conclusion

The Orc Camp is a reliable source of silver for mid-game players. By following the recommended gear setups, managing your rotations effectively, and utilizing node investment bonuses, you can maximize your profits and make the most of this grind spot.
