BDO Monthly - April 2026

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


Greetings Adventurers,

“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, another edition of BDO Monthly is finally here. This month, we are welcoming lots of new artists, so without further ado, let the reading begin!

 

 

Fanart

 
We start this month's edition with a fanart from under the sea! Adventurer MsAngrboda returns to BDO Monthly with a stunning Corsair in their Mermaid form, finding the Rare Treasure Ebenruth's Nol! In this fanart, Corsair looks as mythical as the treasure item, from the colours to the details of the fish, corals and others... Which other class would you like to see drawn by MsAngrboda?
 
Adventurer Velocibunny returns to BDO Monthly with another amazing fanart of a Dark Knight summoning her magical swords.
We really love the colours of the outfit, being neutral to highlight the purple of DK's characteristic magic attacks, alongside the outline on the figure, giving it an aura-like power!
We can't wait to see what Velocibunny cooks up next!
 
Adventurer Micis returns to BDO Monthly with another entry to their collection of Fanarts inspired by Outfits. This time, a Dark Knight wearing the Quiet Elegance! Using the original colours and the lovely BD9 hairstyle, we really love all the elegant details that we didn't notice at first glance!
Which outfit would you like to see drawn next?
 
 

Videos

 
Did you know that the dye you apply has a different effect on your Outfit? 
Adventurer Pohjantikka compiled a whole video with the different colours and effects you can currently find in-game!
So make sure not to miss it out, and Happy belated April Fools!
 
 

Guides

 
French Adventurers, this guide is just for you! 
Is Oduksini Calamity 10 still difficult to beat even after trying everything? No worries, tune into Adventurer Sayaxi's guide and learn phase by phase the tips and tricks to beat C10 in no time, just make sure to follow the time stamps!
 
Pick up your Klau's Old Moon Seed Pouch, we have crops to tend!
Adventurer KhuzKhuz created an in-depth and complete guide for Farming, where you will go through understanding why you should Farm, what preparations you should make and other tips and tricks to ease you into the Lifeskill life!
 
Are you in Season and want to level up as fast as you can to level 61? Don't worry, Adventurer OniiZilla prepared a lengthy and complete guide where you will ease into the new Seasonal changes, buffs and better grinding spots!
Even though it's more catered to seasonal, you can also follow this guide if you have a normal character waiting to be levelled!
 
And for the grand finale of the guides section, we welcome Adventurer Ivalich, who created a very detailed guide with pictures of the special mini-game you can stumble upon while doing your lifeskilling.
Even though it's in Spanish, you can quickly translate it and see what you have to do to get better results from your lifeskill session!
 
 

Extra

 
It looks like it was yesterday when Sevilla became Valencia for a day; the atmosphere, the laughter and having all the Adventurers with us make us look back in fond nostalgia.
Adventurer EruScarlet took a lot of pictures to celebrate the day, but also to leave it as a memento for the future. We can never stop being amazed at the beauty of the Archer cosplay with the Luanwulf outfit, and now that we saw it in real life, we can see the hours, sweat and tears put into it!
 
Take a seat, grab a warm drink of your preference and relax for poetry. 
Adventurer Adotie brought to BDO Monthly another Poem, this one inspired by Lafi Bedmountain's Upgraded Telescope, Compass and the Archaeologist's Map. Read it carefully, and you might decipher the locations and where you need to take them!
