BDO Monthly - October 2026

The October BDO Monthly issue has just arrived! Grab a copy while it lasts!


Greetings Adventurers,:fallen_leaf:

October is here, alongside the spooky season! The days are becoming shorter, the mist appearing more often but the coziness of a blanket and a warm cup of your favourite drink will always be nearby, as well as some sweet trick or treats :jack_o_lantern:

As the eve of the Halloween approaches, there’s still plenty happening in Black Desert! From fanart and screenshots to helpful guides and everything in between, let’s take a look at what our Adventurers have been up to this month.So, grab your favorite autumn drink, settle in, and let’s see what October has in store! :coffee:

 

 

Screenshots

 
We start BDO Monthly with an eerie photoshoot on Hermesia Castle by Adventurer Mirnakova, perfectly matching the season. The beautiful yet unsettling views hide an unspoken question: "Should I awake my hidden power?"
We can't stop admiring the mix between black and white with the red tones of all the screenshots that match so endearingly the Hermesia Castle. Do you recognise all the spots where the pictures were taken by Mirnakova?
 
September is now long gone, giving way to October. And with it, the beautiful scenery changes in the world of Black Desert. Adventurer Harnos has captured the essence of an early morning in autumn and their lovely cats. The golden leaves and the sunshine are truly wonderful. Should Harnos share the locations so that we can also have a moment of wonder?
 
 

Fanart

 
As autumn approaches, so do the Halloween vibes. Adventurer ShiroeK started early with the latest outfit, Checkmate: Queen, complemented by the Lilien horns creating a beautiful commission! We can't wait to see what ShiroeK brings for Halloween, when the time arrives!
 
Adventurer SloppyOctopus returns to BDO Monthly with an unexpected duo! They say that you should never "bring a knife to a gun fight", but this Agent and Kunoichi have gone all out for an incredible duo fight. We really love how both Classes are matching each other colors and aesthetic.
What other unexpected duo's could SloppyOctopus should draw next?
 
In this BDO Monthly Edition we have a different art style than usual. Adventurer Tendorine has created an incredible 3D model of Tamer, while wearing the Gloamwalker Outfit. We wonder how many hours Tendorine spent comparing the class in-game to try to recreate it to perfection in their 3D model!
Which class would you like to see made in 3D by Tendorine next?
 
We welcome back Adventurer Micis with their saga of Outfits fanart. This time around, we got the latest outfit Checkmate: Queen on Dark Knight. Being one of the Classes to have the original Checkmate Outfit, we think this outfit and the beautiful colouring of Micis do justice to this outfit. We also really love the Queen being shattered to pieces. We can't wait to see which outfit Micis draws next!
 
Adventurer Hibahri created a stunning commission of Sorceress. We love the art style and the colors that keep her mysterious and the essence of a true Sorc. Which character would you like to see drawn next by Hibahri?
 
 
 

Videos

 
We welcome Adventurer AdarTan to BDO Monthly who created a marvellous, although fishy, opera video. To celebrate the arrival of Autumn, AdarTan commemorated this by inviting the fishes to do an opera in Heidel.
So sit down with your blankie and enjoy the show!
 
 
 

Guides

 
You might have heard of the Adventurer Rilma and their extensive list and database of all the Black Desert furniture. So their name might be familiar to you. We welcome them back to BDO Monthly with a new project, still involving furniture. Now you can calculate your own furniture with the Furniture Calculator by Rilma!
 
Do you want to obtain the Ornette and Odore's Spirit Essences by your own hand without relying on the Central Market? Your time has come! Adventurer OniiZilla created a short, straight to the point guide with time stamps! So you can enjoy, check what you are missing and get both of your infinite potions without a sweat!
