Hive Robotics ShopReport

English:Hive Robotics Shop · Characters

The Western Hive's own limb counter, found in Hive Villages and Distant Hive Villages. It stocks the four Economy limbs and one repair kit — the worst prosthetics in the game by the numbers, and also the cheapest and the nearest one out there.

The Hive Robotics Shop is the Western Hive's own limb shop, with one in the Hive Villages and one in each Distant Hive Village. It is not the same shop as the Robotics Shop in Black Desert City, and the stock is nowhere near as good.

What it sells

The shelf is short: the Economy arms, the Economy legs and the Authentic Skeleton Repair Kit. Maximum stock is 60 items, restocked every 24 hours, and the counter is open day and night.

Economy limbs are the worst robot limbs in the game, with every stat in the negative. At Masterwork grade the arm carries a −52.5% penalty to lockpicking and thievery, −25% swimming and −20.7% dexterity, while the leg takes −14% stealth, −14% athletics and −50% swimming. Put one on a thief and the character stops being a thief.

What they have going for them is the price, and the fact that for a squad working Vain, the Dreg or the Sinkuun peninsula this is usually the closest counter of any kind. When a character has lost a limb and cannot afford a Skeleton one, this shop at least gets them walking again. See Limbs and Prosthetics.

One thing to check before you go

ImportantHive Village traders will not sell to anybody in a squad that contains a Hive character. They see that character as one of the Hiveless, and one is enough to close the shop to the whole party. Send a Human, a Shek or a Skeleton to do the talking.
