Yes, it’s time to continue our Black Desert Online adventures and to gain knowledge about the villagers and merchants in and around Olvia.
Knowledge is the important!
As you adventured in and around Olvia, you quickly found out that Knowledge is very important. Talking and getting to know the villagers and merchants gives you knowledge about them. So does killing things in and around Olvia or visiting new areas. The more knowledge you gather, the better!

And that is why I took the opportunity to go talk to every villager and merchant in town. The more I got to know the villagers, the faster I could interact with other villages. The knowledge I gained about one merchant can be used to convince another villager to talk to me about other things. This proces also raised amity with certain villagers.

What surprised me is that some villagers will give you additional quests or knowledge, depending on the amity you gained with them.
Knowledge is energy!
Gaining knowledge is not only important to trigger conversations with villagers, but it also raises your energy. And energy is one of the important aspects of your character. The more energy you have the more non combat things you can do. Thinks like engaging a conversation, crafting, gathering, fishing and even investing in nodes cost energy. Your energy is limited though and only regains slowly. So it is very important to make your energy pool as large as possible. So my suggestion is … go talk to every merchant and villager, discover new areas and monsters …
