Rich Merchant’s Ring got an update in a patch on July 8, 2020. You can now obtain the pieces to create it outside of the Trading Life Skill.
Rich Merchant’s Ring:
- +5% to Marketplace silver collection
- Right Click to add a permanent buff to every character on your account
- Acts like a consumable and NOT a ring you wear (The ring still stays in inventory on use, however, so that you can show in chat for bragging rights)
- only recommended for advanced players due to high AP/DP requirements
Obtaining Rich Merchant’s Ring
Rich Merchant’s Ring is probably one of the most elusive and diffiuclt to obtain items in BDO. The old method of obtaining one, required getting rare drops from the Trading Life Skill. With a patch, some additional methods were added. You can read more about the old method in the sources at the bottom of the page.
Unfortunately, this ring still looks very difficult to obtain! Hats off to anyone that achieves this.

- Each of the 5 “Al Yurad’s Ring Piece” are visibly distinct compared to the original “Rich Merchant’s Ring Piece.”
- You will now be able to visibly see which Ring Piece you have and how to place it in the Rich Merchant Ring pattern in order to craft the ring.
- Getting a ring piece inspected by Shakatu will grant you knowledge on each of Al Yurad’s Ring Pieces (5 in total). If you crafted the Rich Merchant’s Ring without obtaining all 5 Al Yurad’s Ring Piece knowledge entries, you can talk to Shakatu to obtain them without spending any Energy.

Ring Pieces rarely dropped when these old trade items were exchanged to a Trade Manager. (They were removed in a patch.)
The table below is an adaption from a spreadsheet posted by u/oqwnM. Thanks!
Drop Rate was out of 1,000,000, meaning Drop Rate of 3 was 0.0003% per trade item sold.

Rich Merchant’s Ring Patch Notes
Source: 7th October 2020 patch notes:
Sightings of the Rich Merchant’s Ring Piece have been witnessed around the lands. The following clues has been gathered from the rumors:
—————————————–

Major Update: Revamped Rich Merchant’s Ring
The Rich Merchant’s Ring is notoriously difficult, some say impossible, to obtain. Therefore, we have decided to add a new way to obtain this item. In addition, we also revamped the ring’s effect. The new Market Silver Collection +5% effect is unique to the Rich Merchant’s Ring and the new temporary item, Old Moon Trade Pass. We created the Old Moon Trade Pass, which will allow you to have a taste of the Rich Merchant’s Ring’s effect for one use, to motivate those of you seeking the Rich Merchant’s Ring.
Although you can still attempt the old method of obtaining the ring, you might want to try your luck with the new method we are sharing with you below for obtaining the pieces of the Rich Merchant’s Ring. You may not be able to get it all at first, but don’t despair! We hope that eventually, the Rich Merchant’s Ring will join the ranks of must-have treasures like the Archaeologist’s Map or Lafi Bedmountain’s Upgraded Compass.
- The Rich Merchant’s Ring will have an effect that increases market silver collection (tax reduction) instead of increasing marketplace bidding chance.
- Using the ring will apply the effect permanently onto your Family. You can check the applied effect in the Central Market window.
- The Rich Merchant’s Ring won’t disappear after use.
- Sightings of the Rich Merchant’s Ring Pieces have been reported all over the continent. One adventurer has compiled all of those reports into the following clues.
- The Fourth Piece will be available with the O’dyllita update.
- To motivate adventurers seeking the Rich Merchant’s Ring, market directors from all over the continent have joined with the Old Moon Guild to create the Old Moon Trade Pass.
- Bring a Shimmering Piece of the Old Moon to Chloe, the resident prankster of the Old Moon Guild, who will exchange it for the Old Moon Trade Pass.
- You can obtain Shimmering Piece of the Old Moon through various means.
- The Old Moon Trade Pass shares the same effect with the Rich Merchant’s Ring, but its effect will only last one use.
- Using the Old Moon Trade Pass will consume it, and you can confirm its effects on the Central Market window. Its effect will be applied when selling an item.
- The Old Moon Trade Pass effect can be applied to one item, including cases when the same item is sold in a stack.
- The effect will be applied even if you use the Partial Collect function.
- Withdrawing listed items will negate the effect and it will be gone.
- Added an icon on the lower left-hand side of the Central Market window to appear when the Rich Merchant’s Ring is in effect.
Patch Notes on Ash Forest
Source: 3rd March, 2020
New Monster Zone at the Ash Forest
We hope that this new monster zone gives ambitious adventurers a fresh new challenge. Just like how the difficult Aakman and Hystria Ruins monster zones were eventually bested by many of you, we eagerly anticipate you eventually mastering this new monster zone.
- Added a new monster zone at the Ash Forest.
- The recommended AP is 300 and the recommended DP is 400, the highest so far in Black Desert Online.
- The aura of hatred caused by the ghosts of Ash Forest makes it difficult to use spirits or magic in the Ash Forest.
- This means that if even if your character has any summoned creatures, the monsters will attack your character first. The monsters will only start attacking the summoned creatures after the number of monsters your character can detect has been exceeded.
- The following monsters will appear at Ash Forest.
- Volkras
- Barnas
- Gairas
- Added a new accessory, Deboreka Necklace, which can be looted from monsters at the Ash Forest.

‘From the pockets of drunkards lost in the aroma of flowers’ I’m guessing the 270 AP spot on Padix Island ‘The giant of the sea who lazily makes waves’ Could be either Vell worldboss, or perhaps the Blue Whale (hunting target) ‘From a boulder laid in the valley, made from the arid tears of the goddess Sylvia.’ Sounds like something craftable from the tears and hearts added with Elvia patch…? ‘From the darkness, wandering the maze of thoughts’ The only maze I know of is the jail you get into when going Outlaw, I remember there’s mobs there but I… Read more »
Hi I’m a bit lost, in case I want to try the method with trade, what goods/node give what part of the ring. In the old version it was all nicely laid out which npc gives which part and now I have no idea what to trade to get piece I want
