Forest Path Wagon is the best wagon in Black Desert Online, useful in both Training and Trading Life Skills.
No Life Span
Every wagon, but Forest Path Wagon, has a limited Life Span stat that decreases every time you use it. Every week of training you need to buy another wagon. Forest Path Wagon has no Life Span, so you own it for the rest of your game!
Money Maker
Even if you are not interested in Life Skills, this wagon is worth 2 billion silver on the Central Market. It will be good money from 2 short daily quests.
Trading Life Skill Rework:
- Trading Life Skill saw improvements to prices: Trade Crate Prices
- Plans for more advanced trading content, such as joining an NPC merchant guild and competing against other guilds.

Forest Path Wagon Materials
To make Forest Path Wagon you need:
4x First-grade Wagon Horse: Buy at Stonetail Horse Ranch for 15 million silver each
15x Sturdy Loopy Tree Plywood gathering Loopy Trees found in Kamasylvia
15x Noc Ingot Noc Ore is found in Kamasylvia
15x Soft Hide Processing → Drying soft hide from skinning deer, black leopards, gazelles, sheep, and foxes
4x Indigo Lapis Lazuli process Rough Lapis Lazuli: mining Noc Rocks (Kamasylvia) and Akum Mt. node (Drieghan)
4,000x Piece of Image Processing → Simple Alchemy: Merindora’s Element x1, Trace of memory x100, Trace of Death x100, Trace of Forest x100 and Weed x100.
Piece of Image
Piece of Image are crafted using 5 items in Simple Alchemy.
4 of them you can buy at the central market.
The other one Merindora’s Element requires a daily quest.
Piece of Image Mat | Medium Price x100 | Max Price x100 |
---|---|---|
Trace of Forest | 6.250.000 | 6.700.000 |
Trace Of Death | 5.550.000 | 5.950.000 |
Trace of Memory | 8.150.000 | 8.750.000 |
Weed | 77.000 | 82.500 |
Merindora’s Element | daily quest | daily quest |

Piece of Image Proc Rate
With Simple Alchemy, you will get a different amount of Piece of Image, that scales with your processing level. It’s very rng. I am professional 8 and I can get from 65 to 150 each time.
Forest Path Wagon Daily Quests
The daily quests are given by Merindora <Eldest Spirit> located in Grana, Kamasylvia.
In the first quest you need to give her a Balenos, Valencia, Calpheon, Serendia or Balenos Meal, each time different from the last one.
In the second quest, you need to go to Lake Flondor. Transport a golden egg to a NPC nearby.
You will get 2 Merindora’s Elements daily.
If you are lucky and your RNG is awesome, you will need 20 days to build the Forest Path Wagon.
After you collect all the materials, you can build it in Grana 4 House → Wagon Workshop. Level it to 4. Hire a worker and put the materials in city storage. You start the process by clicking on the house from the map. Each piece takes 270 minutes with Worker Speed 50.
Umbray’s Tip: Start Building Early!
Invest in Grana 4 and start building immediately once you acquire some of the resources. Each piece needs 1 worker to deliver the item, requiring large amount of workers in each city and having the materials spread out to have workers from that city delivering non stop. Crafting this item is just like building a Ship and can take weeks for players with low CP and who have not setup up a large node worker network. Use workers from other cities by connecting the nodes from them to Grana.
Forest Path Wagon Gear
Forest Path Wagon is an awesome cart, but you have literally no chance to buy the gear to upgrade it from the market. No one sells them.
Continue doing daily quests for Piece of Image, because now you have to build the gear!
You can buy the other mats as usual in the Central Market.
Forest Path Wagon Gear can be crafted in the Level 4 Horse Gear Workshop found in Grána 3-2 2F.

Forest Wagon Gear for Training
If you are a trainer and do no trading, I suggest you make gear in this order:
- Wheel
- Flag
- Cover
- Badge
You will have more Power, so you won’t stop to refuel your wagon at the stable keeper as often, leaving it afk even for 2 days without worries.
Forest Wagon Gear for Trading
If you are a trader, I suggest you make gear in this order:
- Wheel
- Badge
- Cover
- Flag
With speed and weight, you can trade more efficiently, using Forest Rush.
You can’t use Forest Rush, if you are overweight.
The cover as the third item is awesome, because it gives trade item stability and makes you lose less items if you go off road or if you get hit by bandits on the road.
Closing Remarks & Additional Info
Anyway try to have fun. All of the quests take like 5 min, so don’t worry if you have a short amount of time.
If you have any questions about this or the sea life feel free to contact me.

270 minutes? maybe hours…
Hello 🙂 Just found something interesting about that. 270 minutes based on Worker Speed 50.
Is that per item to craft or for all? Right now i have 20+ workers pitching in over the last few days. I must be missing something.
Hello 🙂 When you hover over the forest path wagon design inside the Wagon Workshop, it says 270 minutes with worker speed 50. But yours has taken days with 20+ workers? Maybe it’s a typo or I’m just not understanding.
Hello, if I’m not mistaken you have to craft each parts one by one meaning that you estimation has to be multiplied by 4050-something to be more accurate.
LOL! Well just when you think, “In only 270 minutes I will have my dream wagon!!!” SPLAT!!!
You should definitely make sure to tell people to invest in Grana 4 and start building immediately once they acquire some of the resources. Each piece needs 1 worker to deliver the item, requiring large amount of workers in each city and having the materials spread out to have workers from that city delivering non stop.
