The requirements to begin Igor Bartali's Secret Journal are pretty accessible. You will need to be Level 51 or higher and have completed the Calpheon main questline  

 

Igor Bartali's Adventure Log Journal can then be found on Adventure Log Bookshelf which can be found in the 'Esc' menu. 

 

 

Book 1 Chapter 1 

Before beginning Chapter 1, skip to chapter 2 and complete the task located in Velia first instead. 

 

This is because Chapter 1 and Chapter 3 both take place in Crioville and can be done together more efficiently and Book 2 Chapter 1 will also take place nearby. 

 

The first chapter will just have you defeat a Cyclops over at Cyclops land, located by Crioville. It's nice and easy and will set you up to quickily complete chapter 3.

Find a Cyclops and defeat it to complete the first chapter.

 

Book 1 Chapter 2 

For this chapter you'll need to catch a Grunt fish, its generally recommended to use a Triple-Float Fishing Rod to help with this. 

 

You can catch a Grunt over at the north west coast of Velia, to take advantage of the Abundant fishing bonus, you can try the location in the image below.

 

 

Once you have your Grunt you can complete the chapter. 

 

While in Velia pick up a Matchlock from the Central Marketplace as you'll need one in later chapters. 

The [Hunting] Beginner Matchlock should be fine, but you won't need anything higher than a +7.

This chapter is about obtaining knowledge on the monster "Earth Root Nymph" by defeating them. 

They can be found in a small cave south of Crioville lake, here's the entrance to the cave, just head inside and defeat them. 

 

Once you find General Goods Vendor Crie just head north like highlighted in the image below:

Book 2 Chapter 1 

Next up is some butchering, you'll need to kill Elk and gather their meat. Luckily there are Elk located near Behr, which is just north east of Crioville.

Book 2 Chapter 7 

This chapter also takes place north of Trent, in Treant Forest. You'll need to find a glowing tree stump and interact with it, there's a cabin by a river that will help you find it. 

 

 

The tree stump is located close to a log cabin by the river, it's pretty large and recognizable. Here's an image of the tree stump you'll need to interact with: 

 

 

Book 3 Chapter 1 

This book will be all based around Hexe Sanctuary, so there will be alot less travelling. For the first chapter you'll need to defeat 10 crows. 

 

 

Book 3 Chapter 2 

After defeating the crows in the previous chapter, head up to the the Witch's Chapel node near Hexe Sanctuary.

 

Once you're there, you'll see an abandoned chapel, go inside and interact with the Node Manager there, Hexe's Curse to complete the chapter. 

 

 

Book 3 Chapter 3 

This chapter will require you to defeat the Green Orc Skeleton Warrior that appeared with the witch at the traitor's graveyard.

 

The description is a bit weird for this one, what it actually wants you to do is head over to the Traitor's Gravestone here:

 

 

Here's a closer look at the location with the mini-map to help you find the exact location of the Gravestone: 



Then defeat the Green Orc Skeleton that spawns after you hit the Traitor's Gravestone: 

 

This chapter will reward you with +1 DP. 

 

Book 3 Chapter 4 

In this chapter you'll be tasked with delivering a item WitchWitch's Earring to NPC Becker. The easiest way to obtain one is the Central Marketplace.

 

 

While you're here at Hexe Sanctuary you can also complete the Hexe Sanctuary zone kill quest "Accessory Filled with the Witch's Power - Part I

 

 

You can receive the quest just by visiting Hexe Sanctuary and track the quest progress near your minimap. 

 

For killing 300 mobs at Hexe Sanctuary you'll be awarded with a item WitchWitch's Earring, this will also complete Book 3 Chapter 5. 

 

Book 3 Chapter 5 

All you'll need to do for this chapter is defeat 20 Hexe Skeletons at Hexe Sanctuary, quick and easy. 

 

 

After completing this chapter you can move on to Book 4. 

 

Book 4 Chapter 1 

Next you'll be asked to gather item Silver AzaleaSilver Azalea. The easiest place to do this is near Behr. head over to Material Vendor NPC Indri in Behr. 

 

You will need a Hoe to gather them with, you can grab one from Indri if you need one. 

 

To find Silver Azalea use Indri as a guideline and head over the river as outlined in the image below: 

 

 

Just continue in a straight line past Indri then head up the hill on the otherside of the river and look for white flowers.

 

You'll quickly come across a Silver Azalea like in the image below: 

 

 

Book 4 Chapter 2 

For the second ingredient you'll need to make 5 Distilled Water

 

Head back to Indri in Behr and purchase 5 Empty Bottles. After buying them, head over to the nearby river and hit R to fill them with water. 

 

 

Book 4 Chapter 3

Next will be another life skill, this time its gathering. You can do Water Collecting, Lumbering, Skinning, Extracting, gathering with a hoe, mining or butchering. 

 

This is for an item called Fairy's Breath. Since we've picked up a Fluid collector last chapter you can use that to Extract sap from trees. 

 

 

It's considered a rare drop, so use which ever gathering method you prefer. To drastically increase gathering speed with little investment, you can use a perfume of swiftness

 

Book 4 Chapter 4

For this chapter all you'll need to do is to obtain some Ogre Blood by using a Fluid Collector in the area near Behr. 

 

 

Book 5 Chapter 1 

Book 5 is really quick and easy, you'll be able to speed through this book no problem. First up is some Simple Alchemy. 

 

You'll need to craft 5 Highly Concentrated Herbal Juice by using Simple Alchemy in the processing window (L). 

 

The easiest way to craft this is using the recipe 1 Special Sunrise Herb  + 1 Mineral Water

 

 

Special Sunrise Herb are usually readily available on the Central Marketplace and Mineral Water can be purchased from a Cooking Merchant or Innkeeper NPC. 

 

Book 5 Chapter 2 

Pull out the fangs of Rhutum Fighters might sound like gathering, but it actually means kill them. For this chapter head over to Rhutum Outstation, just south of Calpheon. 

Once you're there, defeat 30 Rhutum Fighters to finish the chapter. 

 

 

Book 5 Chapter 3 

This chapter has us back to gathering, you'll need a Hoe to gather the needed cabbages. Luckily there are some not too far away from Rhutum Outstation.

 

There's a cabbage farm north east of Gambino Farm, just collect 10 cabbages to finish the chapter. 

 

 

Book 5 Chapter 4 

This is a simple one, you just need to eat a Simple Cron Meal which are usually always readily available on the Central Marketplace. 

 

 

Book 6 Chapter 1 

For this chapter you're required to join or create a guild. If you don't want to be in a guild, you can leave or destroy the guild after completing the chapter. 

 

You can create a guild for 100,000 silver by speaking to a Guild Manager in major cities. 

If you'd like to a join a guild, check your server chat, usually guilds will post recruitment messages there. 

 

Guilds offer passive buffs like more Max HP, AP and accuracy as well as silver contracts, so it might be a good idea to join one. 

 

 

Book 6 Chapter 2 

This is the first chapter in Bartalli's Log that provides you with a +1 AP increase. You'll need to defeat 50 trolls around Quint Hill 

 

 

Book 6 Chapter 3 

Now you'll need to head over to Calpheon and collect all the knowledge relating to the Calpheon Merchants category.

 

This chapter can be a little time consuming depending on how much knowledge you already have. There's a way to keep track of this in game.

 

Open the knowledge window (H) and then go to the Character section. You'll then see the option for People of Calpheon and Calpheon City Merchants. 

 

 

Once you've finished collecting the different types of merchants you'll be able to complete the chapter. 

 

Book 6 Chapter 4 

 

This chapter can be completed right away, simply type the answer "12" into the general chat in order to finish the task and move on to the next chapter.  

 

Book 6 Chapter 5 

This is another simple one, but you will need 10 contribution points. Head to any major city and rent a container from a Storage Keeper NPC. 

 

Just be sure to select the "Chat" option. It would be best to select the Calpheon Storage Keeper Basquean Ljurik.

 

 

Once you have a container, you can head to NPC Valks who's also located in Calpheon, which is why it's easiest to use the Calpheon Storage keeper. 

 

If you already have a container or would like to use one in another city, that's fine too! 

 

 

Book 6 Chapter 6 

Next we'll have to try taming a horse. Since we're near Calpheon, we'll stick to this area. Head to the Stable Keeper NPC and buy a few Capturing Ropes.

 

After that you can head to Tavern Owner NPC Fredelles Herba and buy some Sugar and Mineral Water. By using Heating (L) you can process them into a Lump of Raw Sugar.

 

You might want to make extra just incase you don't get a horse on your first attempt. 

 

Here is a location close by to Calpheon that you can grab a wild horse at, you can attempt to tame one here:

 

 

Equip your Capturing Rope from your inventory then get closer to the horse you want to tame. Left clicking will throw your rope then the mini-games will start.

 

 

When the next mini-game starts rapidly hit spacebar to overpower the horse so that you can move closer to it. 

 

 

Once you get close enough to the horse, give it a few of the Lump of Raw Sugar (you can hotbar it if you need to) then you can attempt to mount it. 

 

Book 7 Chapter 1 

Another quick chapter that will have you head over to Florin Village. Once you're there, you'll have to try the Medicinal Herb Brewer mini game. 

 

It's really simple, just hit spacebar within the blue area 5 times to complete the mini game and the chapter. 

 

 

Book 7 Chapter 2 

While you're over at Florin, gather a Everlasting Herb with a hoe. This will require Skilled 5 Gathering, you won't be able to see the herb highlighted unless you have Skilled 5 Gathering. 

 

The herb is South East of Florin, up on the mountain.  

 


If you don't have Skilled 5 Gathering, a quick way to do this is to make a Shai character who will start out with Professional 1 Gathering & Alchemy levels. 

 

 

Book 7 Chapter 3

Next you'll be returning a Lost Lamb, the location is luckily still quite close to Florin. The easiest way to do this is generally to do the Lost Lamb quest. 

 

Head over to the Lynch ranch and talk to NPC Murana Lynch. You'll need to play the Amnity game with her to gain 10 Amnity in order to unlock the Lost Lamb quest. 

 

 

Your second option is to Find a Lost Lamb and carry it over to NPC Islin Bartali, the innkeeper in Velia. 

 

Here's the location of the Lost Lamb. You may need to look around as the lamb can move. 

 

 

Here's the Lost Lamb, you can pick up the lamb to carry it back to Islin Bartali who will be the NPC needed for the next chapter.  

 

 

Book 7 Chapter 4

This is just an item delivery chapter. Head to NPC Islin Bartali, the innkeeper in Velia and give her a PRI Serap's Necklace.

 

You can buy one from the Central Marketplace. If you'd rather grind for one, several spots in Valencia drop them.

 

 

You can use our Grind Map to check which locations drop them!

 

You can also craft them with Yona's Fragments but its likely cheaper to just buy from the Central Market unless you have spare fragments. 

 

Book 8 Chapter 1 

For the first chapter in book 8, you'll be asked to ride on a wagon.

 

You can purchase a few different Wagons from a stable keeper, once you've got one, just register it at a stable keeper like you would a horse. 

 

 

Jump on the new wagon mount and you'll complete the chapter, you can also use a Peridot Forest Path Wagon, just talk to Igor Bartali whilst mounted to it.

 

Book 8 Chapter 2 

Time for more life skills. Now we're on to cooking. To complete this, you will need at least Skilled 1 cooking and a Cooking Utensil installed in your house. 

 

You'll be required to craft Cold Draft Beer which is an RNG proc from cooking regular Beer.   

 

 

The recipe is 5 Cereals like 5 Potato, 6 Mineral Water,1 Sugar and 2 Leavening Agent.

 

Cooking Beer can be done from Beginner 1 but in order to proc the Blue Cold Draft Beers Skilled 1. 

 

Book 8 Chapter 3 

Next its back to blood collecting. This time it's Weasel Blood which isn't all that difficult, there are plenty around Velia and are particularly easy to find north of Western Guard Camp.

 

 

Book 8 Chapter 4 

Now we'll need to use the Weasel Blood we just obtained from chapter 3 to craft Wise Man's Blood.  

 

You'll need a Alchemy Tool installed in your home and Apprentice 1 Alchemy.

 

If you don't have this on your character then you can make a Shai which will start with Professional 1 Alchemy. 

 

 

The full list of ingredients needed are 1 Monk's Branch, 1 Trace of Ascension, 1 Clear Liquid Reagent and the 2 Weasel Blood.  

 

The easiest way to get the ingredients is to just use the Central Marketplace, they're all rather cheap. 

 

Book 8 Chapter 5 

This chapter is a little bit different, you will be required to rent a cannon from NPC Tranan Underfoe the Blacksmith in Velia.

 

You can exchange 20 energy for 1 Cannon and 10 cannonballs. Head over to Cron Castle near Velia and look for this location: 

 

 

Once you move over to the ledge you'll be able to see a platform down below, fall down on to it like this: 

 

 

When you're on the little platform, you'll want to setup your cannon. You're aiming for some training dummies in the water. 

 

 

The cursor is in around the right spot to aim for, you should be able to the hit dummies with a little trial and error. 

 

Book 8 Chapter 6 

This one is basically a free +10 Max HP reward, all you have to do is talk to the Black Spirit to complete the chapter. 

 

bdo black spirit

 

Book 9 Chapter 1 

This chapter will have you head to three different locations to find three different gems located hidden in caves.  

You can click to full size any of the images on our guides, in case you need a closer look at the map!

 

The lost items can be revealed by talking with the Black Spirit but if you need the locations here they are: 

 

The first will be the Red Gem, located near the Ancient Ruins Excavation Site close to Elric Shrine and Helms Post. Here's a map image to help: 

 

 

Here's the location of the cave entrance so you know what to look for in game: 

 

Head inside the cave and continue in a straight line, this one is really simple. You'll be able to interact with an object called "Hidden Place." 

 

 

Next the Blue Gem studded ornament is near Stonebeak Shore. Head north of the node to find the NPC Vegabond. 


Use the twin trees on the shore line to help you find the correct location of the Vegabond like below: 

 

 

Once you've found Vegabond turn around and head directly forward in a straight line to find the cave entrance. 

 

 

Head deeper inside and you'll come to a wall that is too low to walk through, crouch down to pass through it. 

 

 

After passing through the low space, take an immediate right to pass through another crouching area

 

 

You'll find the interactable object on the table to the left of the new room you enter. 

 

 

Lastly Yellow Gem is close to the field boss Giant Mudster and Eastern Gateway. Again, use the location of the tree by the river to help with the location.

 

You can also try to keep in mind the distance this location is from the main road to help you find the right spot. 

 

 

Once there. you'll come to a tree on a rocky ledge which will house the next hidden cave entrance. 

 

 

Head inside the cave and drop deeper down, just head in a straight line, there's no real complex directions. 

 

 

Once you come to the center of the cave, just keep going forward and climb up the ledge pictured above it'll take you through a small archway into a new room. 

 

 

The interactable object will be on the left side of the room, then you'll have all three gems, ready to complete the chapter. 

 

Now that you have all of the gems, open your Yaz's inventory and add the gems to it. Line up the gems in the order red, yellow and blue to combine them.

Book 13 Chapter 1 

Defeating a Sand Spirit isn't too difficult. They're scattered across the Valencia Desert and are rather weak. 

 

The easiest way to find one, is to fast travel to Valencia using the Magnus wells, then heading just out of the city. 

 

black desert sand spirit location

 

Once you head out into the sand it won't be too long til you come across randomly scattered mobs, there are a few different kinds, so here's what mob you're looking for:

Book 13 Chapter 2 

Next up is defeating Shakatu in a game of Yar, a simple card game that was introduced to Black Desert. If you've completed a Season pass, you'll already be familiar with how this works. 

 

The goal of the game is to draw matching cards of the same number, and select which you'd like to discard in order to try and accumulate more points. 

 

black desert yarl

 

Once done, while you're here in Shakatu, it's probably a good idea to jump a head to Book 13 Chapter 4 and Chapter 6.

black desert Bochlo

 

The Adorable and Trusty Porter, Miniature Elephant quest can be obtained from Bochlo from Sand Grain Bazaar as mentioned earlier. 

 

It's not a difficult quest line, and will only require some very basic life skilling. It's short, too. It will cost a bit of silver, though. 

 

You'll need 10 million in silver, 3x Gold Bar 100G and 10x Empty Bottles in total for the quest line. 

 

When asked to fill the 10x Empty Bottles, you can gather the water from the fountain inside of Shakatu's Villa.

Head inside of Aakman Temple and talk to the NPC Lonely Palieva, if you've farmed Aakman before, its the general vendor that's inside.

 

To enter Aakman Temple, you'll have to search the Valencia Desert for portals. These portals can lead you to either Aakman or Hystria. 

 

 

You can also now find Aakman Temple on the world map after having being given a new entrance point: 

 

If you happen to enter Hystria, you can bring up the Esc menu and use Escape to be teleported to an exit. The exit will take you to Ibellab Oasis.  

 

When you enter Aakman, look for the General Goods Merchant on the staircase like below: 

 

 

Speaking to Lonely Palieva will complete the chapter. 

 

Book 14 Chapter 2 

Kill the world boss Nouver and obtain 3 Desert Tyrant's Manes from defeating it. Once you've collected all 3, take them to the Trade Manager Atui Balacs in Sand Grain Bazaar. 

 

As it's out in the desert, you won't be able to use your map to find Nouver, but you can use an Sealed Compass to make things easier if you need to. 

 

 

This is the last of the sheet benefits, giving an additional +2 AP. If you want to you could realistically stop here without missing out on too many bonuses. 

 

You would only miss out on +9 Max HP, +5 Stamina, +2 Weight limit and Evasion +1 and changing the Black Spirit's appearance. 

 

Book 14 Chapter 3 

This chapter is another knowledge completion, though its only based on locations which isn't as time consuming. 

 

 

Open the knowledge window (H) and complete everything within Topography - Valencia - Valencia (Great Desert) to complete the chapter. 

 

Book 14 Chapter 4 

Right after you're done with chapter 3, another knowledge chapter is waiting for you. This is just a matter of speaking to NPCs. 

 

Head to Valencia then open the knowledge window (H) and look for Character - People of Valencia - Valencia Capital Merchant. 

 

 

Once you've filled out all the knowledge of this topic you can complete the chapter. 

 

Book 15 Chapter 1 

This is the last chapter and starts off with an easy task. Kill Valencia Lions and butcher them for 10x Lion Meat 

 

They can be found easily on route to Ancado Inner Harbor from Valencia city, you'll have to head up on to the mountains, just off the main road. 

 

 

Book 15 Chapter 2 

This chapter requires you to complete the questline Palm Forest Boy that takes place in Arehaza.

 

Arehaza is near Valencia City, just further east towards the coast. Here's an image for reference: 

 

 

Once you've finished the questline you can complete the chapter. 

 

Book 15 Chapter 3 

You'll be made to head into the basement of Valencia Castle and since you're going underground you'll want to use a Atanis Firefly for a light source. 

 

You'll want to find the entrance to the basement on the east side of the castle, again you can use the trees on the minimap for a good reference. 

 

 

Here's an image of the basement entrance so you know what to look for along the cliff edge.

 

 

Just head inside the cave and continue forward, you'll reach an open space where you'll be able to see two shrines, head to the one on the far right. 

 

 

When reaching the shrine, there'll be an NPC warning you of a dangerous fall, go ahead and drop down into the basement anyway. 

 

 

After falling down, head straight forward, towards the next room containing another shrine. 

 

 

Once in the next room, turn left and you'll see a corridor into the next location, just follow on into the next more open space.

 

 

After following the corridor you'll come across some NPCs, turn to the left and head into the room with the pyramid objects.

 

 

When you're in the next room, turn right and head straight on until you reach a new room, then turn left to see another corridor and some more NPCs. 

 

 

Head down it and follow the one way path, it will lead you to the Ancient Artifact for you to interact with. 

 

 

To get out of the basement, head back the way you came and follow the one way corridor back out into the open room, once you're back outside, head north towards the circular objects. 

 

 

When in the room with circular objects, turn right then continue onward into the next room, on your left there will be an NPC and a corridor leading to the exit.

 

 

Exiting here will take you outside, still close to Valencia Castle where the last chapter will take place. 

 

Book 15 Chapter 4 

Head to Valencia Castle, this time you'll have to climb all the way up to the top of the tower. 

 

Once you're there, you'll be able to see a interactable object called "Castle Wall" which will cost 25 energy to interact with, once you've interacted with it you can complete the chapter. 

 

 

That's the final chapter of Bartalli's Adventure Log completed and you'll also unlock an appearance change for your Black Spirit!
