Introduction
This is my simple guide on how to do conversations with NPC´s in Black Desert Online (Remastered).
If you always wanted to know how to sparkle an bots interest, or to fall in love with him/her, or to become smarter than the bot, just follow those simple but fantastic instructions in this guide!
My word:
No more greetings to NPC´s!
The whole guide has been written by me in a funny and ironically way to entertain you, BUT also in a serious manner to help you on your adventures in BDO. Nobody got hurt and I totally detest violence and discrimination.

Before You Start
If you are already playing the game for many months/years and are a exprienced adventurer of BDO and you know the basics of knowledge, energy, quests, than you can go immediately to the next section of this guide... "(LET´S START) Select your prey and have enough energy prepared".
Before you start
So to take things first serious, before you even start to get into a conversation with a NPC and to gain his amity and with that to get sometimes a hidden knowledge or hidden quests from NPC´s, you have to know, that you need some basic things first, which are:
Energy
Knowledge
Quest-Requirements
Most of that you will get without even knowing or realizing it, on your travel through the vast world of Black Desert Online.
ENERGY & KNOWLEDGE
Your maximum available amount of energy will increase by unlocking certain hidden knowledge-points in your families/characters knowledge book.
You can open the knowledge book by pressing "H" on your keyboard. If you play on console or with gamepad, you probably should set a key-bind for it in the interface settings, if you want to use the knowledge book often.
Some of it are easy to determine, some of it not, but on each knowledge section there is specific sections, which also will be explained ingame in a short notice-text. There you also find out on how you can get that knowledge.
A big amount of knowledge will be unlocked automatically when you finish the main-questline. Your knowledge will also gain with killing monsters and on exploring different regions in the world of BDO or and also with just talking one time to (first-time unknown important) NPC´s, like vendors, stable-keepers, stock-keepers, node-managers, etc.
QUEST-REQUIREMENTS
It is also very important for you to know, that if you didn´t finished for example the Main-Quest in Odyllita/Kamasylvia, you will not be able to make any conversation with ALL NPC´s in those regions!
This is the quest-requirements, which you will encounter everytime again in the world of BDO, it can happen only with one or two NPC´s, where you have to gain amity from a previous/related NPC or by finishing a related questline or as already mentioned in full regions as above.
Influential factors
The outcome of the conversation- or amity-minigame, is also influenced by one already known factor, which is:
Zodiac Signs/HoroscopeMore information about the zodiac signs you will find at the end of the guide in a separate section.
Side-Information and infos about energy:
If you are out of energy, you can always buy energy-
potions from the market place.
So finally done with the boredom, let´s go to the funny part :P :)
...
(LET´S START) Select Your Prey And Have Enough Energy Prepared
First of all, you have to choose your victim, of those many, who has to listen to your stupid answers. If you are lucky enough and you choose the right victim, he/she may punch you in your ba**s/or slap your pu**y after successful conversation.
So in this case my victim is sweet stable-boy NPC Oliviero
Make sure you have enough energy for the conversation, or else you won´t be having someone who is hating/loving you.
In my case you can see in the picture, that I have prepared enough energy to talk with Oliviero the whole day. 322 Energy (available)
One conversation needs in this case 2 amounts of energy.
Each conversation has 3 rounds in all, but only if you are successful in round 1 and round 2.
IMPORTANT!
Each time you click the button "Conversation" it will drain the amount of energy from your available energy.
Getting Things Hot!
Now let´s get into the flirting. Don´t be shy, people will still hate you afterwards (or maybe love you).
So in the picture you can see, that nasty Oliviero wants to hate me in this conversation. So basically what I do is, to select those knowledge interests, which he very dislikes.
In easier words.
I have to select those with high failure chance. I am still lucky enough that he only wants to have 2 conversation thematics of low-interest. What means for me, that I can still select 4 other knowledge interests with high chance of success and a high favor outcome.
In the picture I marked the requirement/target for this conversation, and the chance of failure/success of the selected knowledge, plus the possible gaining amount of favor below the failure/success.
These are also the 3 most important sections for you and your conversation!
I will finish the conversation now and you will see the outcome in the pictures below.
So as you can see, I successfully annoyed Oliviero and I also gained +5 of his favor on me. Additionally I can continue flirting with him for free, without additional payment for his service. (Unfortunately I have no pictures for following conversations, but in this minigame I won all 3 rounds and gained around +50 favor)
Not So Successful Sexy-time
Since I explained you in the descriptions above how to do a conversation. I will only show you now, how I failed to get his pants off.
The special point in this conversation now is, that he wants me to seduce him 3 times in a row, without one failure between.
Requirements: Spark the interest of Oliviero 3 consecutive times.
Which means, win with 3 different knowledges 3 times in a row (with selecting the knowledges with highest sparking interest chance).
It doesn´t matter what you select before or afterwards of the 3 consecutive knowledges.
Unlucky as I am, I failed on the third knowledge (from right side, below the sheep), so the 3 consecutive times sparking interest couldn´t be fullfiled, only 2 times in a row in my example. Which means, I lost the full conversation game and all the amity in this conversation with nasty Oliviero, such a bad bad boy.
Side-Note:
I also want to mention, that I left out one complete conversation game, as you can see the amity in this part is already above 200. Not to confuse you, on how I could gain that much energy from last conversation.
(END) Tips And Tricks And Good Luck On Your Flirt!
Here are some last words and tips from me to you.
Before you leave and start to talk to NPC´s:
Conversation games vary each time you start one.
Each conversation has different requirements, follow always the requirements and you will succeed. As I already mentioned above, the conversation-minigame requirements are always stated on the left side in the descriptions of the minigame.
Some requirements only vary in different words, read carefully what it says.
Examples are:
- Gain a minimum favor of 40
- Gain a accumulated favor of 100
- Fail to spark the interest 3 times
- Fail to spark the interest 2 consecutive times
- Spark the interest 4 consecutive times
- etc.
Consecutive means: in a row (doesn´t matter whats before or after)
Sometimes it even gives you total freedom with the requirement on the conversation:
Requirement: "Talk freely with ..."
in this case you can even select whatever knowledge you want, you will basically win this round.
But if you want a high favor in the outcome, select here the knowledges with highchance + highfavor.
Last but not least,
don´t be sad when you won´t succeed in the first time of trying out.
It took me 6 weeks when I started to play the game, until I understood the whole conversation game. Nobody explained it to me how it works, I only checked one time small infos in the internet, but nothing else. I didn´t found much, only a few comments in forums.
So I tried it over and over again and I thought it is pure luck and RNG and also had that thought in my mind, since I was reading it from random comments in reddit forums.
But yesterday somehow I came to the full understanding how it really works this conversation game. It is so simple. And because I feel so enlighted and because the way I found out how it works, I am just happy to share all this knowledge with you guys. Especially because there is not a single guide to this.
So here you go, thats from me, to you my first guide :D Good luck and have fun in flirting with bots in BDO :P :)
Definitely feel free to leave some comments, ideas, critics, as it helps me to improve this guide.

The following is other helpful informations, which could be also worthful for you in conversation minigames.

Zodiac Signs Or Horoscopes
If you remember, than you know that each class can have a zodiac sign (Horoscope), which you selected on the first day of your character creation.
It also states there, that the zodiac sign has certain effects on parts of the game, whereas those take effect at minigames, dialog-options in quests, and especially now on this guide for the conversation with NPC´s.
Important - Good to know:
So to say it in short. If your character has the zodiac sign "Wagon" and you make a conversation minigame with a NPC who has also "Wagon" as his/her zodiac sign, than you will get higher favor, probability, etc. in the minigame selections for the knowledge, etc.
On the other hand, when the NPC has a different zodiac sign, or a zodiac sign which is likely to not harmonize with your zodiac sign, than you will have a very low chance of success for some NPC´s and a very low favor.
Each zodiac sign has in the game certain attributes, which are all stated in the zodiac sign selection at character creation.
There are 12 different zodiac signs, with each of them having different attributes (the attributes won´t have any effect on the combat-gameplay, nor the leveling, skills and/or physics):
WAGON Takes action, born to wealth, precious, selfish. TREANT OWL Simple, genuine, knowledgable, a genius or an idiot. SHIELD Rational, disciplined, methodical. SEALING STONE Careful, eccentric, secretive, short-lived. KEY Focused, thirst for knowledge, relaxed, determined. HAMMER Brave, conservative, righteous, collaborative, hot-blooded. GOBLIN Linguist, strong beliefs, intellectual, materialistic, wise. GIANT Dreamer, ambitious, swift, an observer. ELEPHANT Honorable, faithful, obtuse, dedicated, trusted. CAMEL Perseverance and patience, gentle, talented. BOAT Enjoys art, optimistic, free, a wanderer. BLACK DRAGON Wealth and fame, noble, delicate, sensitive, sociable.
Facts For Nerds
Facts for nerds:
In the following pictures you can see, that Jarette Domongatt has following attributes:
(Basic, Jarette Domongatt Attributes) Interest Level: 36
(Basic, Jarette Domongatt Attributes) Favor: 26
While on the other hand her interest over Ottavio Ferre is changing:
(Selected Knowledge, Ottavio Ferre Attributes) Interest Level: 12
(Selected Knowledge, Ottavio Ferre Attributes) Favor: 33 ~ 37
Here takes a simple mathematical rule in effect, Cross-multiplikation or the Rule of three.
Which results in following scores:
(Outcome/Interaction Effect)
Sparking Interest: 12 (33%)
Favor: 7-11
Sparking Interest:
Which means in a mathematical calculation:
Basic Interest Jarette: 100% -> 36
Ottavio Ferre: 33% -> 12
Lack of interest from Jarette over Ottavio: 66,99..% -> 24Which means for you: You will only have a 33% chance to have a successful conversation with Jarette on the thematics or knowledge of Ottavio. Or in other words, your chance of failure is at 66,999% with Ottavio as a selected knowledge.
Favor:
When it comes to the favor, than...
... in respect of following numbers...
(Basic, Jarette Domongatt Attributes) Favor: 26
(Selected Knowledge, Ottavio Ferre Attributes) Favor: 33 ~ 37
(Outcome/Interaction Effect) Favor: 7-11
... following takes effect:
Basic Favor Jarette: 100% -> 26
Ottavio Ferre: 126,923..% -> 33
Gained favor: 26,923..% -> 7
If you win the conversation thematics/knowledge with the selected Ottavio, than the favor overall in the conversation will rise between 7-11 points
