Energy

Energy is one of the major resources used in Black Desert Online, in the same vein as Contribution Points and Skill Points.

It used for all Life Skills, conversations with NPCs to increase Amity, gaining knowledge from some NPCs, Node Management, participating in Channel Chat, Stealing from NPCs, Greeting NPCs, and hiring workers.

Energy regenerates at the rate of 1 point every 3 minutes. However, sleeping in a bed while still logged in will increase how fast you regenerate energy.

While your maximum energy value will carry over between all characters within your family, as your knowledge carries over, your energy pool is independent to each character.
