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!

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 Mediah, Valencia, Calpheon, Serendia, or Balenos Meal. Each time is 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.
You will need many 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.
Umbray’s Tip: Start Building Early!
This item in not like crafting a normal item. Invest in Grana 4 and you can 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 Wagon Part Workshop found in Grána 3-2 2F.
| Item | Forest Path Gear Stats | Forest Path Gear Mats | HQ Noble/Merchant | Noble/Merchant |

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. 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.

Hello 🙂 Thanks for the tip. I’ll add it.
There is also a Lapis Node in Akum Mountains in Odylitta
Hello 🙂 Thanks for the tip! I’ll add it to the guide
Piece of image now always crafts in batches of 150, no more RNG
Thanks for the heads up! I updated the info.
any info about , the failstacks for upgrading the wagon forest parts? :C
In the Forest Path Daily Quests section, you said “give her a Balenos, Valencia, Calpheon, Serendia or Balenos Meal.” One of those balenos needs to be Mediah <3
Haha thanks!
Not sure what I am missing, why do you need to start building pieces early? Guide appears to shop you do mining, processing, simple alchemy then when you have all the components you build it at grana 4. Can someone explain what I am not seeing?
Have you purchased the housing required yet and gotten workers?
Not sure what I need them for. I will admit it’s likely something is not clear to me. Am I mistaken to make a wagon (not the accessories). I need grana 4 at level 4 and all the parts, which are either crafted via processing or purchased from the market. I put those items into grana storage and make the wagon. I feel like the “start building early” section is confusing me. What do I need to build early for making a wagon (again not for the accessories)?
Reading what I wrote I was not clear when I typed my question.
1) Seems to me I am confused, why would I start to build early? I do not see what I build except to build the wagon once I have all the materials. I get the materials by doing the two dailies, the rest is either purchased from a vendor, market or made via processing. Unless I am missing something?
So my question boils down to, what am I missing? Why the recommendation to “Start Building Early?”
Your workers need to process each material through the workshop you buy, it doesn’t just appear once you click craft.
Initially I thought crafting a wagon was the same as any other item you craft. I was unaware that you needed to have the components plus you needed to have workers move those components into the craft before you could craft it. I’m still pretty new to BDO. If there was one thing the guide could have been clearer on is that crafting a wagon is not the same as crafting other items, for example an advance alchemy tool.
Edit: Recommend changing name of Grana 3,2F to “Wagon Part Workshop”
Thanks for the tips! I’ll make those changes.
