Golden Seal
Last Edited on : Aug 9, 2024, 15:27 (UTC)
You may have obtained a golden seal during your adventures. If you’re curious about these items, read all about them here!
You can obtain golden seals by selling specific trade goods and horses to Imperial Delivery NPCs, supervising workers, and from other various activities. You can exchange these seals for useful items such as black essences, horse equipment, mounts, and many more.
Simply put, Adventurers need to actively take part in various in-game activities (like trading, fishing, etc.) in order to acquire golden seals.
How to Acquire Golden Seals
Adventurers can get golden seals by selling specific trade goods, horses, and fish to certain Imperial Delivery NPCs. Aside from selling items to NPCs, certain types of golden seals can be acquired by defeating bandits that appear to threaten trade routes, and others by simply having workers collect materials for you.
Some of the golden seals are guaranteed to be obtained in a 1:1 ratio exchange. For example, each cooking box sold to an Imperial Crafting Delivery NPC will net you an imperial cuisine golden seal. However, this is not the case for all the activities one can partake in to get seals. If you sell 5 fish to an Imperial Fishing Delivery NPC to obtain imperial fishing delivery golden seals, you are not guaranteed to get 5 seals.
The following sections will detail how to acquire each type of golden seal currently available.
Golden Seal - Imperial Cuisine & Alchemy
Imperial crafting delivery is an activity that allows Adventurers to sell packaged dishes (made via cooking) and elixirs (made via alchemy) to Imperial Crafting Delivery NPCs. You can use the imperial cuisine and imperial alchemy processing options (hotkey: L) to package these items into boxes. You can then sell the boxes for 250% of their base price.
A family of Adventurers can sell only a specific amount of packaged boxes per day. The amount is determined by the contribution points one possesses, divided by two. For example, if you were to have 350 contribution points, you’d be able to sell 175 boxes, counting both cooking and alchemy boxes together.
As seen above, a family can sell a limited amount of items through imperial crafting delivery per day. The good news is that you don’t have to compete with other Adventurers in this type of imperial delivery, as there is no limit to the boxes the NPCs can receive. As such, you can prepare the boxes to turn in beforehand, or take your time and prepare them whenever you want to sell them.

The higher the grade of the box you sell, the more silver you’ll earn. To package boxes of a higher grade you will need to level up its related life skill. As an example, if you want to sell professional’s cooking boxes, your character must have reached the cooking level of professional 1 at the very least.
Additionally, both your character’s cooking and alchemy mastery play a part in the silver you obtain from selling boxes to an Imperial Crafting Delivery NPC. The higher the mastery in those life skills, the more extra profit you’ll obtain!
Lastly, you might see that the item description of all cooking and alchemy boxes tell you about how to mass package them. Complete the requirements listed there and you will be able to pack up dishes and elixirs 10 times as fast as you normally would.

Golden Seal - Imperial Conquest
Imperial conquest differs from other golden seals. We mentioned before how you can get many of these seals by selling goods (packaged boxes, fish, horses). However, for these seals, Adventurers have to deal with bandits on the road in order to directly acquire the imperial conquest seals as items dropped by them upon defeat.
You will see in the World Map screen (hotkey: M) that several red bandit icons are constantly on the move.
If you travel there, however, you usually won’t see any bandits. This is because they’re hidden, and only appear when they see a merchant approaching their position. To lure them out of hiding, you will need to have a trade good item on you. That said, keep in mind that carrying a trade good on your character will make it impossible to fight! Thus, we recommend traveling with a wagon with trade goods on it, and dealing with the bandits that appear as you travel through the lands. In this way, you can obtain imperial conquest golden seals.

Tip!
Remember that bandits will also appear when you have a trade good on your mount. By using a mount, be it a horse or a wagon with several horses attached to it, one can level up training and trading, as well as obtain the golden seals from imperial conquest by defeating the bandits that appear on the road, and imperial training by leveling up a horse and selling it.
➤ You can read more about the trading life skill in the [Trading] page.
Golden Seal - Imperial Training
Adventurers can sell horses that are level 15 or above to the imperial court through imperial horse delivery, and in exchange acquire silver and golden seals. In particular, Adventurers tend to sell low tier horses, or horses with undesirable skills, via this form of imperial delivery, as other, finer horses tend to be more valuable and sell for a higher price in the horse market.
The amount of imperial training golden seals you obtain for selling horses depends on the horse tier. For example, you will get 6 seals for trading a tier 6 horse, but the higher tier a horse is.
Additionally, by selling horses this way you will also obtain other valuable items, such as flowers of oblivion employed to craft items used in the awakening process of a mythical horse.
What many Adventurers do, and we recommend trying at least once, is obtain a wagon, attach several low level horses to it, and travel throughout the world of Black Desert with the wagon. This is because all horses attached to the wagon will obtain training experience. This way, you can level up several horses at the same time, instead of just one by one.

Lastly, you can also exchange x5 or x15 of these seals with any stable keeper in the territory of Valencia to obtain the two types of camels currently available.

Golden Seal - Imperial Fishing
You can obtain these golden seals by selling blue grade fish or higher to the various Imperial Fishing Delivery NPCs found throughout the land. Imperial fishing delivery managers can only purchase up to a given amount per each type of fish per event cycle, and you have to compete with other Adventurers selling fish to the same NPC. However, if you are successful, you can sell your fish to the Imperial Fishing Delivery NPC for 250% of its normal market price.
Unless you need the fish for another purpose, we recommend that you sell your catch to the Imperial Fishing Delivery NPCs for a higher profit.

Remember that fish degrades the more time passes. The normal rules of trading fish apply when selling it to imperial fishing delivery managers, and thus the more time you take to sell it, the less valuable it will be.

Golden Seal - Work Supervisor
You can learn these golden seals by supervising workers. You’ll obtain them at a fixed chance when your workers return from each work cycle. As a result, you’ll acquire these seals at a much faster rate the more workers you assign to a task, such as collecting resources from the world.
These seals are obtained automatically, and are kept at the storage of the town the worker resides in. They’re mostly used to obtain better workers.
