So I've been looking at making a living by crafting in BDO. I love mining and blacksmithing/tool making. So I figured I'd head down that path. My first goal would be to make a better pickaxe for people to mine with. Sadly, the economics behind it make no sense. Let's take a look.
Requirements:
200 Copper Ore (which is melted then made into Copper ingots). Copper Ore, on its own sells for ~150 Silver. That's 30,000 Silver worth of materials. I won't even bother counting the cost of feeding workers or mining equipment.
I can BUY the next level up Pickaxe (Sharp) for 2,539 Silver.
The only way it is profitable is if I get a lucky roll and create a Lucky Pickaxe, which runs 150k+.
So it is much better to just sell the raw materials :(
