In addition to the regular vendors in the MMORPG Black Desert Online, there’s a merchant who deals in contraband – a sort of “black market”. Patrigio’s Secret shop offers materials and various rare items
When does Patrigio’s Secret shop open?
Patrigio’s Secret Shop opens in each city only during nighttime. Nighttime in the game occurs every four hours and lasts for 40 minutes
How to find Patrigio
You can find the night merchant Patrigio in the following cities: Velia, Heidel, Calpheon, Altinova, Valencia, Grána, Duvencrune, O’draxxia, Eilton, Asparkan, Velandir, Muzgar, Hakinza Sanctuary
If you have already explored this NPC, then just open the search (magnifying glass near the mini-map) and enter “Patrigio”, all the cities will open for you, click on the one you need and the autopath will take you to the place
What can you buy from Patrigio
If luck is on your side, you can purchase rare items and materials for less than the average market price. However, you may also see items at Patrigio’s for higher prices than at central market
Unlike a regular shop, Patrigio’s requires you to spend energy points – 50 per view. Furthermore, you can only view one item at a time, and even then, you can’t predict what he’ll show you next. So, getting the item you want requires a lot of energy.
Despite this, many players head to Patrigio every night for the chance to purchase valuable items. Especially if you’ve been struggling to find the item you need at the auction, you can buy it from Patrigio without competing with other players or bidding.
Starting July 10, 2025, you can spend the energy of other characters on your family remotely at Patrigio’s Secret shop! You no longer need to take each character to Patrigio to visit the shop
A few life hacks for visiting Patrigio’s secret shop
- You need a lot of energy to deal with Patrigio.
- Increase your maximum energy by learning knowledge. Knowledge can be viewed in the H tab.
- Create as many characters as possible so they can accumulate energy when you’re not in the game. The more characters you have, the more energy you have. More energy means a better chance of getting the item you need from Patrigio.
- The selling price for upgrade materials like Black Stones is fixed. They’re cheaper than the auction house, so you can often make a profit by buying them from Patrigio and selling them at central market.
- To get the best deal on the item you want, check the central market prices for the item you’re buying from Patrigio beforehand. The price may be higher than the central market price.
Holding an item at Patrigio’s Secret Shop
There may be times when you see an item you want to buy from Patrigio, but you’re short a certain amount of silver. You can reserve this item by clicking the “Hold” button.
Please note that if you have set a reservation, you cannot scroll through items further, as changing an item automatically removes the reservation.
You should also be aware that an item’s reservation lasts for approximately 15 minutes in real time, so this feature is only useful if you have the funds to quickly find and return to the Secret Shop to purchase. Generally, when you set a reservation, you’ll see the expiration time.
