For those who are not interested in cooking, Cheap Feed is available for purchase from Stable NPCs in various towns for 500 silver. While this food is tasty and gives +6 satiety, it is not enough to restock the hunger gauge. You need at least 10k silver to refill your hunger gauge to 120. This food is best used when you have no time to cook and plenty of silver to spend.

Farming meat from animals
The easiest way to make cheap feed for your pets is by cooking pig carcasses. You can find pig carcasses in several towns. Each one costs 500 silver but only gives +6 satiety. However, if you want to feed your cat to give it 120 hunger gauge, you need to spend 10k silver on pig carcasses. You can also use the carcass for meat stew, pasta, and steak. By default, you only need one worker per town. To get more workers, make sure you have enough lodging in the town.
Crafting good feed
Crafting good feed in Black Desert Online requires a little bit of skill. You’ll need a cooking utensil and oatmeal. The ingredients are green, but you can substitute two or three white ones if you don’t have oatmeal. The more experienced you are, the less ingredients you’ll need. Usually, the recipe calls for five or six ingredients, but you can use as few as two or three white ones if you are not at a high enough level.
You can also craft “weird” dishes along with Good Feed. Hover over these dishes to see information about where you can exchange them. For example, if you’re crafting a dish with poorly prepared ingredients, you can trade it for Contribution Points. This is another way to get good feed for cheap BDO. Note that you have to be a good Cook to make this work, however, and there are only a few recipes available.
Using lamb meat
The ingredients for this recipe are simple, and it costs just one ingredient – meat! You can use any kind of meat for this recipe, but lamb is usually easier to gather and cheaper. Lamb can be obtained from the mountains between Serendia and Baleros. It is a highly sought after ingredient, and buying a large amount requires preordering. Water is also cheap, and can be bought from Cooking Merchants.
Lamb is a cheap meat source that can be caught and processed easily. The flavor of lamb is different from beef, which is not gamey. The “gamey” taste comes from the fat content. Lamb is unique in this regard, as it is the only meat that contains this fatty acid. It is only found in lambs, so it is impossible to detect its level in beef. However, you can detect it when it is present in low concentrations, which means that it is safe to feed lamb to BDO.
Once you’ve acquired the necessary equipment, the next step is to collect the meat. Lamb is best obtained in the Baleros and Serendia mountain ranges, but you can also find it in other locations as long as you’re persistent. Lamb meat is highly sought after, so make sure to order it in advance. When buying lamb meat, remember to use silver embroidered gatherer’s clothes +1 and Life Stone. Life Stone will decrease your time gathering meat, and it will increase your chance of finding rare items by 10%.
