Frequently Asked Questions
How does the recipe calculator work?
Add the ingredients in your inventory using the search bar (or import them by dropping a screenshot into the Scan area). Hit Calculate Crafts and the tool checks every cooking and alchemy recipe in the database — surfacing the ones you can make and how many times.
What are recursive / chained crafts?
Some recipes use ingredients that are themselves craftable from items in your inventory. The Recursive panel shows those — for example, you might not have Flour, but you have the Wheat to make it, and that flour can then be used in a meal recipe.
How accurate is the screenshot scan?
Detection is in beta and not 100% accurate — review the imported inventory before calculating crafts. A scan typically takes 30 to 90 seconds because it runs on a small home server. The scanner improves over time as more screenshots are processed.
Is my data shared anywhere?
Inventory is stored locally in your browser. Uploaded screenshots are kept temporarily on the scanning server to improve detection quality and are never shared with third parties. No login or personal data is required.
What is BDO Craft Helper?
BDO Craft Helper is a free recipe calculator for Black Desert Online cooking and alchemy. Add the ingredients you have — by typing them in or scanning an inventory screenshot — and it instantly shows every recipe you can craft, how many times, and how much EXP each batch grants, including chained crafts you would otherwise miss.
Cooking and alchemy are two of BDO's most rewarding life skills: they feed your workers, brew combat and life buffs, and earn silver through Imperial Cooking. With hundreds of recipes, working out what your current inventory can actually make is tedious by hand — and that is the problem this tool solves, turning a pile of gathered ingredients into a clear, sorted list of what to craft next.
