Reading: IT gives a random Keowledge of all the Knowledge topics available in the game. The Rank if it should happen to be Ecology you get is a RANDOM rank! not S-rank. If you learn something you already know, it does nothing unless you learn a higher grade of your knowledge. So if you are wondering why nothing is happening after the finish reading, it's because they read something you already knew or at a lower rank than you already have.
I tried this after watching your video. I have a keplan bookshelf. I ran 8 alts through the 1 hour cycle 5 times. I got around 25 knowledge points. Today I bought a pirates book shelf to see if the knowledge gain was different. 5 more cycles gained me around 25 more knowledge points again and the knowledge was definitely not pirates specific, which I was kind of hoping for since I have never been to pirates. So 80 hours of reading time for 55 knowledge points. Most of my successes were A, B or C knowledge. Only a few were S knowledge. I started with 1,111 knowledge, so maybe my lack of high quality knowledge prevented me from getting more S knowledge? As is, I will be looking at 8,000+ times of hitting the bookshelf before hitting the 8,000 cap. With that said, my energy went from 218 to 223, for a gain of 5. Not bad for little effort, but not nearly as much as your video suggests.
I don't know how this is possible. I have 3 alts reading bookshelves, on average I'll get 5-10 points after 1 hour, (I have less then 900 ecology knowledge). 5 points = 1 Alt discovering an A+ knowledge. That shouldn't be hard with your 8 Alts. After 80 hours with my 3 alts I would be shocked if I didn't get at least 350-400 points. But you're saying after 80 hours with 8 alts you only got 55 points? I simply don't believe you, unless you have almost every knowledge in the game you're either lying, doing something wrong, or literally have the worst luck in the universe to a degree were it would be acceptable to call your life an impossibility. What you just said is, you used a bookshelf 640 times and got 55 points. No, no you did not. I don't know where you went wrong, but you are.
HarshHash you have misread what I wrote. I ran 8 alts though the 1 hour cycle 5 times. Then I repeated the process the following day and documented my results. It was a total of 80 hours of reading that yielded 55 knowledge, not 640 hours.
HarshHash I hadn’t thought about book case learning for a few months, so I thought I would try this test again with some buffs. So this time, I ran 10 alts for 4 hours of testing, 40 hours in all, using 5 T1 and T2 birds for +30% knowledge gain and +6% superior knowledge. My knowledge moved from 1666 to 1702, which works out to 36 knowledge in 40 hours. The numbers are increased from my previous test, but still lower than the numbers in this video.
HarshHash I have many 1 hours cycles where it yields no knowledge at all. I am guessing that it rolls something that I already have knowledge of. I stopped documenting my results because it is time intensive, but I am continuing the book case learning running knowledge pets. I was lucky today and got some ecology ones, raising my energy by 5 and knowledge points to 1733. The number have been slow, but still making gains. Definitely worth doing it.
● random knowledge acquired within a subcategory ● read on an alt while you hunt (Read (R) » Esc » Disconnect » Char Portrait » Change) Can’t switch servers while reading. ● takes one hour per knowledge chance and does not automatically keep reading afterwards ● not guaranteed a knowledge/rank you don’t have already, but lower rank does not replace higher
One thing you forgot is when you're out hunting rare creatures like the Calpheon Worm in the caves under Northern Wheat Plantation, there's only a handful of them so skinning, butchering or fluid collecting can also grant knowledge.
now that I'm sure that this is not a ded channel, I want moar class guides! I started the game with DK and found your video about DK. then I looked for your other class guides, but they were nonexistent :( I'd really appreciate Sorceress and Tamer guides
Great video Blade, thank you for the tip. One thing I did notice though after following your tips, I am not always getting S-Rank Knowledge on alts reading books.
-Book Case is a pearl item HOWEVER if you bought a Traveler's Package or higher you can redeem Housing Décor that contains several book cases. -Does it only have 30 uses? This is confusion from when the tooltip was wrong and said it only had 30 uses, its now been more then a year since that typo was removed from the item itself, it is infact infinite uses -Things to note Bookcase does not guarantee S rank knowledge or new knowledge in general there can be repeats and it will do nothing if its already known. The knowledge is not limited to monsters its ALL knowledge available in the game. When any alts are reading changing channel is locked until they are finished Hi blade it was me who told you about this on your stream :)
Hey @BladeBoques I loved your video and followed what you showed us to do. My question is does this still work after the most recent patch? 1/31/2018 NA ... It was working before the patch but now if I switch to another character after setting them up to read it doesn't show they are still reading.
Before last patch I would put alts to read from bookshelf when i do other things on main. When cheking their pictures on character select when going disconnect it would say "reading book" or something like that. From today when i put character to read from it and switch to another one first one stops reading and there is no more info "reading book" but I can still interact with bookshelf just if i try to switch character they stop reading. Is this bug or intentional? I changed nothing. Did not move bookshelf to another residence or town. It is in Heidel.
Hello, it's been a while since you posted the videos, but I still hope I'll get my question answered : I'm gathering knowledge for the completion aspect, but why would I want an S knowledge? Thank you by advance
yo blade, love your channel man, i hope youll make a warrior guide for pvp someday (if you have done that already, i cant seem to find it in your channel :S)
Do you get better knowledge from the pearl bookshelf? I got a reward for returning i think and i choose a bookshelf that i use now but i get random rank knowledge
I have a question, i am watching your built, and your use very expensive items and red nose, why? Getting hidden stat, now is red nose better than hebetate? thanks
Maybe Important to note that in the Bookshelf is only Knowlegde for Balenos, Serendia & Calpheon. U wont get Mob Knowledge from Mediah/Valencia/Kamasylve. It's still good tho.
Hey Ev! I wanted to let you know, "today I began a new life". Starting training as a Jr. Stockbroker and the owner of the brokerage recommended good ol' Og, and I immediately thought of you. Keep bending it to your good. Cheers!
is this true because I did some reading and a dev postyed stating thats not the case images-ext-1.discordapp.net/external/C9_jMBt3psR0JFCnN6tUM6kS0_iX3ZOAi-AdiQb4k4w/https/i.imgur.com/dAeHDKY.png
I clicked "Controls" on my Margoria Whale Bookshelf before switching to my other character. My previously logged off alt doesn't have the "reading a book" status. I need some help please.
you cant learn knowledge while youre not there on SA servers, tried several times, but as soon i swap to another character, when i relog the last one he stoped reading the book... might be some kind of time i need to make him read before swaping characters??
u say that they get a random guaranteed s knowledge, what if u have all knowledges in ecology and lets say its a-rank , would it replace it with s-rank, or dont you know?
It looks like the bookshelves were part of the exploiting method kakao was talking about, but not the alt reading, that has been in the game for a long time, if not always, and was no secret to any veteran.
Thanks for sharing Blade. One question: Is the knowledge drop rate a buff of 20%? Or does it now require 8000 knowledge points to get a current drop rate equal to a prepatch rate?
hey i have a little problem if i use this method with reading books i cant log on other char becaus they stop the process at the end i can use only 1 charakter :( pls help me thx by the way nice video i like it :).
I made 5 Flying pets so I got ... 85% gaining Knowledge + 25% High Chance of gaining Knowledge and it was so so ezzz to get S Rank From the first time + using Ranger Class
Would you ever do a skill specific video, ie: hunting, etc. I'm waiting on BDO to come to Xbox getting knowledge ready for it so I can hit the road running.
They have not but so far still Q1 that's within 2 months hopefully it's after taxes I need new Xbox and my internet back. And it's for preorder in eu atm at eb games
I can't get it to work anymore. As soon as I switch toon, it doesn't say "reading book" on the character selection roster anymore. It worked for a while though.
TOOK ANOTHER BREAK I GUESS U COULD CALL IT ... 10% ECOL AND IM LIKE HOW DO I GET MORE I KNOW I LOOK UP INFO TO INSPIRE ME TO GET FOOD BUFFS AND MY DANG GLASSES FINALLY ... DONT EVEN LOOK AT THE TOP VIDEOS CONTENT CREATORS NAME JUST HIT PLAY.... AND THERE HE IS THE LEGEND HIMSELF... GOD DANG IT BLADE !!!!!!!!
I can't get this to work. Whenever I log onto a different char, it doesn't saying the previous char is reading or anything. When I log back onto that char, he ain't reading. What am I doing wrong? Lol
Please be more specific. I just got a C on an imp tower. you said it would give an S rank. I dont believe this was a pearl item bookshelf I have though. I would appreciate some clarification. also not only will you not be able to change channels, it actually gives you a 15 minute cooldown the second you start to read. so don't read if you're planning to hunt big bosses like Karanda or Kzarka, you might want to re upload this blade. Those last 2 points are pretty important, even if you explained the overall net benefit to reading.
Only problem is that the game will not let you swap servers when someone PKs you for a spot.. Changing servers gets buggier later too after they finish reading.
I'm concerned about that and not sure myself. I'll be sad if this ends up only being pay to read, nevertheless we needed a guide compiling thee buffs for new players or those who didn't know they could use bookcases like this while logged off.
Nice, thx for the reply. Glad you are doing these xbox guides and tutorials keep them up! And I followed your 1-55 video guide all the way and it was perfect thx!
The knowledge ranks are worth different point values. S rank is worth 10 points down to C rank worth only 1 point. So the higher your knowledge ranks the quicker you'll get to 8,000 points.

Thats true, wish I added that
dude, your vids are awesome and so helpful to new players (especially those of us in the new SEA server) hope you continue maing these XD
now that I'm sure that this is not a ded channel, I want moar class guides!
I started the game with DK and found your video about DK. then I looked for your other class guides, but they were nonexistent :(
I'd really appreciate Sorceress and Tamer guides
Wow I didn't knew about the bookcase thanks! :)
Great video brother keep it up!!
Great video Blade, thank you for the tip. One thing I did notice though after following your tips, I am not always getting S-Rank Knowledge on alts reading books.
Do i have to put books on the bookshelves or are the pearl shop bookshelves equipped with all the knowledge for
All regions / monsters etc? Thanks.
-Book Case is a pearl item
HOWEVER if you bought a Traveler's Package or higher you can redeem Housing Décor that contains several book cases.
-Does it only have 30 uses?
This is confusion from when the tooltip was wrong and said it only had 30 uses, its now been more then a year since that typo was removed from the item itself, it is infact infinite uses

Hi blade it was me who told you about this on your stream :)
proc is random and so is knowledge you can get a higher rank for bear if your lucky
i bought the highest package from day 0 and i dont have a book case.
you have to claim it via the website should be named Package - Housing Décor or something
Login > account
Package - Housing Décor USED | i have the fleece set or smth but not the book case of that set i dont know why, i surely havent thrown it away.
you claim items its not a set means you didnt pick a bookshelf
Thank you Blade, now I have a reason to use these books I bought
do you get a radnom knowlege from the bookcase or does it just get a better tier for knowlege i already have ?
Hey @BladeBoques I loved your video and followed what you showed us to do. My question is does this still work after the most recent patch? 1/31/2018 NA ... It was working before the patch but now if I switch to another character after setting them up to read it doesn't show they are still reading.
Found this video few days ago, purchased my bookcase today aaaand also today found out this doesnt work anymore feelsbadman
Stay sharp!!!

Hello, it's been a while since you posted the videos, but I still hope I'll get my question answered : I'm gathering knowledge for the completion aspect, but why would I want an S knowledge? Thank you by advance
you have to gain 8k points ... c = 1p, b=1p, a = 2p, 1+ = 5p, s = 10p
I'm confused about the lizard killing and tents, is that just to get higher ranks of knowledge for more points?
yo blade, love your channel man, i hope youll make a warrior guide for pvp someday (if you have done that already, i cant seem to find it in your channel :S)
Thank you! If I acquire skills worth sharing then I'll certainly do that
Do i have to have multiple bookshelfs? or all my chars can read the same shelf?
AAAHHH OMG I LUV YOU BOQUES!!
Does Console have the afk reading book feature?
Do you get better knowledge from the pearl bookshelf? I got a reward for returning i think and i choose a bookshelf that i use now but i get random rank knowledge
I have a question, i am watching your built, and your use very expensive items and red nose, why? Getting hidden stat, now is red nose better than hebetate? thanks
Maybe Important to note that in the Bookshelf is only Knowlegde for Balenos, Serendia & Calpheon. U wont get Mob Knowledge from Mediah/Valencia/Kamasylve. It's still good tho.
Hey Ev! I wanted to let you know, "today I began a new life". Starting training as a Jr. Stockbroker and the owner of the brokerage recommended good ol' Og, and I immediately thought of you. Keep bending it to your good. Cheers!
It should be at interior in pearl shop right? Cant seem to find it
Thanks for the info blade 👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
Doesn't seem to be working for me, set mine to reading in Heidel residence, not showing as "reading" though.
how did you set up your chat window? (in this video)
Ah sorry guys didn't think of that as being a top question, its a pearl shop item
and you can only use it 30 times for 300 perls
is this true because I did some reading and a dev postyed stating thats not the case

Hi blade, ALT stops when they finish reading they didn"t start a new reading, is that your case ?
Hi blade, ALT stops when they finish reading they didn"t start a new reading, is that your case ?
Thanks for the vid, do all the bookshelf's give the same knowledge so I only need one?
Yes all the pearl shop bookcases are the same
Hi Blade, is this still current? I thought that the reading bookcases while character is offline is no longer able to be done?
I clicked "Controls" on my Margoria Whale Bookshelf before switching to my other character. My previously logged off alt doesn't have the "reading a book" status. I need some help please.

u say that they get a random guaranteed s knowledge, what if u have all knowledges in ecology and lets say its a-rank , would it replace it with s-rank, or dont you know?
Does the Books actually work? Dont become knowledge after reading
friend, does the enchantment also add up to 20%?
Thanks.
no?... knowledge is not enhancing...
Appreciate you man
It looks like the bookshelves were part of the exploiting method kakao was talking about, but not the alt reading, that has been in the game for a long time, if not always, and was no secret to any veteran.
Nice video!
20% on all drops? I.e. the yellow and blue items or just trash items?
Thanks for sharing Blade. One question: Is the knowledge drop rate a buff of 20%? Or does it now require 8000 knowledge points to get a current drop rate equal to a prepatch rate?
its definitely buffed everyone is reporting making more money now, also node level actually does something now. :)
Its a new added buff of 20% drop chance
hey i have a little problem if i use this method with reading books i cant log on other char becaus they stop the process at the end i can use only 1 charakter :( pls help me thx by the way nice video i like it :).
Nice tip, thanks!
I made 5 Flying pets so I got ... 85% gaining Knowledge + 25% High Chance of gaining Knowledge and it was so so ezzz to get S Rank From the first time + using Ranger Class
Can you get boss knoweledge by doing this?
Your wizard looks exactly like Gandalf lol awesome 👌
How many book shelf I should buy ?? only one is ok ?? I saw so many kinds.
it said I can use 30 times , after that , it wont work ?
Would you ever do a skill specific video, ie: hunting, etc. I'm waiting on BDO to come to Xbox getting knowledge ready for it so I can hit the road running.
Yes I'd be open to it. I know least about hunting than any other life skill though
BladeBoques I'm interested in learning about them all so.
Have they even announced a beta or founders package yet?
They have not but so far still Q1 that's within 2 months hopefully it's after taxes I need new Xbox and my internet back. And it's for preorder in eu atm at eb games
I can't get it to work anymore. As soon as I switch toon, it doesn't say "reading book" on the character selection roster anymore. It worked for a while though.

tbh nvr thought ud be the one teaching me ecol with ur questlexia i figured u didnt farm either oh wait :P
Hi bro could u make a new guide for basic and awekend skills for warrior the ones that u have are 1 year ago, ty very much keep the extra mile
where to find books to read ?
This broke with the latest patch. It doesn't let you logout now and read the bookcase.
I can't get this to work. Whenever I log onto a different char, it doesn't saying the previous char is reading or anything. When I log back onto that char, he ain't reading. What am I doing wrong? Lol
It will say its reading a book on the character picture. If you start the reading channel and swap characters it'll work
BladeBoques the problem apparently was not being in a major city residence. After I put my shelf in a major city residence, it worked as shown.
Thanks for the tip.
Nice vid :D
Where do i get a book case ? :)
Pay to win for 300.... BTW you Do not get S you get Some Random rank
Please be more specific. I just got a C on an imp tower. you said it would give an S rank. I dont believe this was a pearl item bookshelf I have though. I would appreciate some clarification. also not only will you not be able to change channels, it actually gives you a 15 minute cooldown the second you start to read. so don't read if you're planning to hunt big bosses like Karanda or Kzarka, you might want to re upload this blade.

Where to get the bookcase?
Does this still work?
The bookshelf thing? Yeah it should, but I quit Sep 12th last year so many things have happened I don't keep up on anymore.
You have a nice inventory design, looks expensive, is that from Gucci? :D
You need to make all your alts read every hour?
Do the bookcases have durability
yes they do
Only problem is that the game will not let you swap servers when someone PKs you for a spot..
Changing servers gets buggier later too after they finish reading.
Gl on getting a good ending :)
Does this till work well to date?
does not always give u S knowledge. has been using it for ~6 hours now with 14 alts, so 6x14 and i've only gotten one S knowledge.
wait is 5 pets out at a time the max?
did they just patch this out?
You back in EL? Didnt you leave?
The original EL changed the guild name and Blade renamed his new guild to EL.
the bookshelf/case says that in can be used 30 times, but from what everybodys saying its infinite? im confused
I'm concerned about that and not sure myself. I'll be sad if this ends up only being pay to read, nevertheless we needed a guide compiling thee buffs for new players or those who didn't know they could use bookcases like this while logged off.
innocence in our days sir boques ?
You should say it like blade "bokes" even if thats not the correct pronunciation i think thats how you should say it! Sounds so much doper
Bookcases are working now ^_^
When I switch character it doesn't say they are reading......
My characters stop reading when I moved to another character... anyone know why?
Is this available on xbox?
Yes
Nice, thx for the reply. Glad you are doing these xbox guides and tutorials keep them up! And I followed your 1-55 video guide all the way and it was perfect thx!
@@dizzycrow4592 nice!
AND it locks you to ONE server .... Realy frustrating if you tryign ti kill bosses ... jsut a heads up
True I hate that, I think its not intended but it used to bug your account and instead of fixing that they just locked us to 1 channel :/
So a book case can be bought in the pearl shop?is there any other way I can buy one?ty so much for the info.will be working on it myself soon.
Nope 300 pearls is the only way
Not p2w btw
Do I need S rank on every mob in the game to acquire 8,000 knowledge?
The knowledge ranks are worth different point values. S rank is worth 10 points down to C rank worth only 1 point. So the higher your knowledge ranks the quicker you'll get to 8,000 points.
Did this got patch ??
Could I use this to AFK level my Energy?
yes^^
FYI, Catsensual doesn't play BDO anymore I don't think.
So ty:) só beauty boy haha ty for information
it seems like you can't afk read alt anymore.
I think this is no longer working after the latest patch this week
Its Works ?
the knowledge gained can be knowledge you already have, and in that case, you gain nothing
You dont even get S rank, you get a higher rank of what you already have.
can you double stack workers on bookcases?
Sadly I think this has been nerfed or something. I'm just getting crappy C grades from the bookshelf.
I did this and they all stop reading after overnight of afk. Gotta relog into all ur alts everyday
No they stop after 60minutes. Its a 1 hour channel you do on all your characters as I said in the video
Nice ending ya goof lol
Looks like u cant swap channels while your toons are reading books, a restrictions pops up and kicks you out of the game.
I have the same. Dude, How do I fix this?
But what's the point of knowledge?
Chris Arnold increase your energy pool plus give higher drop rate
For this doesnt work anymore... alt just stop reading once i swop on another char
FeelsGoodMan clap
Your catch phrase should be “ending penning”...hah..get it? PENning. K I’ll stop.
