BDO Monthly - December 2025
The December BDO Monthly issue has just arrived! Grab a copy while it lasts!
Greetings Adventurers,
Winter is the time for comfort, for good food, warmth, and a good read. So what's better than a newly released edition of the BDO Monthly magazine? This month, we are welcoming new Adventurers and lots of guides, so without further ado, let the reading begin!

Adventurer Micis returns to BDO Monthly with an amazing drawing of Rose Noire. Whenever we wear this outfit, we can see rose petals swirling around us before turning black. Micis captures this moment in a style reminiscent of watercolours. Which outfit would you like to see painted next?
Adventurer SarenChan returns to BDO Monthly with an adorable drawing of a Shai in the BD9 outfit. We love the colours, the light details, and the different eye colours, which show great attention to detail. But what is the Shai thinking? What puzzles her? Which character and outfit would you like to see SarenChan draw next?
Have you ever wondered if your characters get tired of adventuring all the time and just want to be swept off their feet by their adventuring companion? Adventurer EruScarlet has depicted this perfectly with their own character and that of Adventurer Blakburn. In this drawing (and in the screenshots if you open the post), you can see them setting off on adventures together and sharing lovely moments.
Adventurer Haruchi returns to BDO Monthly with a spooky and terrific amazing fanart of their Sorceress in the Lilien Outfit. We love the gloomy atmosphere and the colours that match the Sorceress vibe! Which character should Haruichi draw next? P.S. Be sure to check out the post and see the sketches to not miss a bit of how this piece of art came to life!
Adventurer Umebosh joined BDO Monthly with an amazing fanart of Seraph. When it was posted, we only knew this new character by the name of Savior, so now it's a nice memento to remember later! We remember seeing it in the forums first, the black and white version, but we love the updated colour version!
Tired of grinding the same monster spots over and over again, and you are itching for a fight, but you are too afraid you will be beaten up without even processing what just happened? No worries, Adventurer! OniiZilla just compiled a video of "Everything You Need To Know" about PvP and its mechanics! Check it out fully, or check the timestamps and jump into the section you want to learn the most.
Adventurer Papalicia has been busy at work creating an individual guide for all the Black Shrine Bosses - Donghae (Solo) that have the Calamities 8 to 10. This one is about the Bamboo Legion, and you can learn which skills you should use, HP markers, mechanics and much more! Do not forget to check out their other Boss Guides that you can find in the link above.
Do you want to learn instead about the Black Shrine Bosses - Hwanghae (Party), and don't know if you should do Normal or Hard difficulty? Adventurer TheOriginalGwynm got you with a quick guide straight to the point! It is not recommended for beginners, as it is focused on "key mechanics, tips/tricks, and party etiquette".
Adventurer TeddyTwighlite brings us this month a guide on 5 different Life Skills that can be done AFK while giving you some Silver! Take a look and start investing in your Life Skill life!
Guides
Did you hear from Emma Bartali that her father is coming back, and she just happens to have his Adventure Log, but you can't make sense of his diary entries? Don't worry, Adventurer FastMusa cracked the code and willingly shared their knowledge with us on the forums with screenshots and short explanations for you to complete your Adventure Logs in no time!
