Having a steady stream of silver and materials which you do not actively need to earn is a truly helpful thing in Black Desert Online. Workers are a great source of passive income and getting them early on can give a new player a decent boost of silver for those expensive black stones. And while it will never be better than active grinding a strong passive source of income from workers would always supplement any other form of active silver generation. For this guide, I will assume that you already have a passing knowledge of how nodes and contribution points work. If not then you should read a few guides on those subjects and then come back. With artisan workers being the best in terms of work speed, max stamina, and possible skills. Don’t be too concerned about only getting artisan workers at the beginning as you are able to promote them all the way from green to orange as they earn experience. At levels 10, 20 and 30 they are able to perform a promotion test and if successful they will get raised to the next tier at level 1. From my experience, a level 30 worker almost always succeeds in his promotion test but getting to level 30 is time-consuming at any tier. You also need to decide what race of worker you want.
