| Velia offers a maximum of 8 workers, that cost a total of 6 Contribution Points in worker lodging. But, it is possible to assign workers from other cities to nodes around Veila if those nodes are connected to the other city. If you are just beginning your Node Empire though, you will not have enough Contribution Points to do that. |

Gathering Grain by Hand Grain can be actively gathered by hand near farms. Gathering takes 20 seconds for beginners who have no access to Guild buffs or gathering speed items. (2 seconds is the lowest gathering time with +5 Gathering, a shining tool, and a Serendia Special.) Each time you gather, 1 energy is used. Energy regenerates at 1 every 3 minutes while logged into the game. To increase your energy pool, work on completing Knowledge categories. Tip: Bronze Hoe is crafted at a tool workshop and can be purchased at the Marketplace for 30,000 silvers. It has 60 durability and shaves 4 seconds off your gathering speed.
Gathering by hand, without a hoe equipped, will mostly yield weeds. Don’t vendor the weeds! They are used in Alchemy. Buy a hoe at the

Obtaining Grain with Farming Farming also yields grain. You need seeds and a fence to start farming. Seeds can be acquired through gathering vegetation, the Marketplace, and seed vendors. A Withered Seed, sold by vendors, is the lowest quality seed, which will not yield very good results. But the good news is that you can breed them and sometimes obtain better seeds, which produce better crops. The next tier after Withered Wheat is the normal white grade Wheat Seed, which after about 5 hours from planting, will yield an average of 70 wheat. Camelia Loggia at the Loggia Farm in Veila sells Withered Wheat Seeds for 220 silver each.

How to Gather Grains in BDO
While you can gather the grain yourself from farming and gathering it is very time-consuming. It is much better to have a few workers gather the grain for you. Very early in the game, you will There are 4 different options. You can either Gather grains from farming or gathering, both of which is very inefficient. The 3rd option is to set up a node system, and farm the grains with your workers, but even this is very uneconomical, since your workers should much rather be busy doing one of the insane money making tasks.
The best way to go in regards to making beer is to simply buy the needed grains in the marketplace. They are super-cheap, more than abundant, and will pay for themselves x-fold.
