Travel from Nampo to Velia via free NPC Transportation

[Tsel13]

There are no NPC's you talk to.
When the Ship, Boat, Griffon arrives or if already there, just hop on.
It will depart eventually.
All Ship, Boat, Griffons only stay for 5 minutes before they depart.

The Ship that leaves Nampo arrives and departs approximately every 30 minutes.
The time will be shorter, if you show up in-between Ship rotations.

It travels from Nampo to Oquilla's Eye

The next transportation is a Boat, not a Ship, at a different location on Oquilla's Eye.
Once on the Island go right and follow the beach until you get to a crowd of NPC’s.

Now you can depart Iliya Island two different ways.
Via Griffon or Boat.

You can travel back to Nampo the same way, but in reverse order.

All times are approximates
Nampo, 30 minute wait
30 minute sea voyage to Oquilla's Eye
Oquilla's Eye, 25 minute wait
15 minute sea voyage to Iliya Island
Iliya Island, 25 minute wait
5 minute flight or sea voyage

Do you really think anyone would waste that much time on this?
BDO has become such a gigantic game after so many years that it must have a FREE fast travel system.
Magnus is a joke. We should be able to "jump" to any node on the map.

Oof, like 120 mins? The magnus from velia to nampo is like, cmiiw, 14-16mil (with a chance to crash). Lazy farm in polly forest in 120 minutes can yield 200-300mil.

15 one way and 15 the other and it makes 30m. I spent the last few days trying to drop map part on waragons. Scroll + agris gives there ... 75m per hour.
Did you know that end game items cost 80-200b per item? 75m per hour is a joke.
Yes, you can earn more in other zones, but why would anyone play polly? Nothing drops there and this zone is outdated.
For example I want to get all great marni stones. This means I can earn nothing for months.

😊 I wrote it up, so players who have never touched the Magnus and had no Ship of their own and started their first character in the LoML, saw they had another option to get to the mainland. 😊

What I would really like is if PA offered a Balloon ride between Port Epheria and Nampo.
Alas, such balloon ride does not exist.

I think Pearl Abyss still wants players to feel a sense of danger moving away the world. So I don't see that happening. Also I believe that Pearl Abyss is trying with all their might to keep BDO as a true open world game. So they want to give people some option of fast travel around the map at a cost. But at the same time they don't want players to just instantly directly travel between grind spots.

Ahhh so that's how I get to and from Nampo and Oquilla, thanks. I do have a raft, *never really did any of the sea quests so I missed out on a lot* but it was so slow and I did not know if there was a free travel option. The game was not as clear on this as I thought.
But this makes it a bit easier for me to connect some nodes to the new area and maybe consider a trade route up north now. *I know it might not be worth a lot, but even land trade routes get boring sometimes, * so I might use this to learn about fishing and sea trade now.

[Grizzledorf]

good info but doing magnus quest seems like less of a headache. also unless it's fixed the griffon can glitch/bug out. my gf tried to use the griffon to get from velia to one of the nearby islands, when she landed she could not move anywhere nor discover the island.

[Uzkniso o.o]

Turn this into steam guide, so I could favorite it.

This is a "free" way but consumes a lot of time, Magnus consumes 30 million silver if taken from Velia-LoML->Velia but has like 75% chance of crashing and taking your money and the third option is to make a Galleas(~2b for epheria frigate blueprint and i think 2.6b if you want to purchase the materials to make it)/Carrack(~3 months with daily bartering but you need either Galleas or Caravel) and with Galleas i think it is 30 minutes Velia->LoML (i didn't put a timer on it so i don't know...maybe less like 20min) and Carrack (Volante - faster speed) like 10-15min with green gear (again it might take more or less... i'm just estimating here) but having a ship will take less time than waiting for the NPC ships

Since PA changed the Sea Current Resistance, one can use an Epheria Cog, Bartali Sailboat, Epheria Frigate, and Epheria Sailboat to do the sea voyage back and forth.

The main reason why I put in this instruction, was for those that are first timers that started in the Land of Morning Light (LoML).
They are in-between a rock and a hard place getting out of there and the free NPC Transportation offers them a way out. 😊

[Phlanka]

Use magnus once, put an alt on LOML for black shrine boss grinding or whatever, strand that alt and never look back. One and done

[Mad]

Thank you for this guide.
It is a real hassle to get there via other means than Magnus, and Magnus is ...well, it scx

[Nain]

out of curiosity i did all the travel forms to loml.
seapalace during the event was the best.
magnus is costly, but i rather kill some mobs for a few minutes and pay the fee...
... then do the public transportation. it takes way to long.
used the epheria cog (loyalties) before the seacurrent change, made it there, but failed the voyage home :)
and finally, i used the cheap bartali sailboat and man... this takes almost as long as public transport.

all in all, pa created a little mess with loml and new players to be honest.
loml is not intended as a new player starting point according to the ingame tooltip when choosing your location, but the option is still there, and since its new, people naturally are going to pick it.
you can argue that its their own fault for not reading, but reading is something a lot of people refuse to do in bdo, and then bombard groupchat with all kind of questions that can be answered by themself if they just read..

anyways. pa should offer a free one-time teleport to the ancient stone chamber once you finished the loml questlines (all of them!).
so that new players dont feel trapped there and dont feel discouraged to play once they have to wait 30 minutes on a boat...

[Blood and Bone]

thanks

[巴 中 山]

As a new player with lots of afk time, this actually is a thoughtfully made guide. Thank you.
