Playlist with the full, raw, unedited footage of leveling a character 1-61 using all of the guides on my channel: kzbin.info/aero/PLKMRiZuSgt-7cUHq6DcH2-I6erGBU-Pl6 Addendum for people on a season server: 8 Quests later in the story after reaching heidel, you get the naru weapon, which you can upgrade to more than enough AP. This is done by taking regular blackstones for weapons, and using the processing menu (L) -> Heating. Then pump that thing's AP up and continue power leveling.

[@Yuwunahhh]

Will try this out soon, personally being new to the game, been struggling looking at what nodes to invest on to get good passive income, an updated suggestion/guide on it would be really nice

[@deltanine1751]

Do the same AP requirements apply for the Archer? Do we need both AP at 100 jw, also love the vids btw excellent info for a begginer imo

[@nickputney605]

Didnt have much gear, spent 50mil to get some easy gear. 6 hours got me to 56. This method is amazing man. Thanks!! (I totally messed up and stayed at zones longer than I should have xD)

[@xanderfish1645]

You should also add that once you reach lvl 56 you can use oasis gear for the base stats, it will put you at 147 normal ap 149 awakening ap and 272 dp without any accessory's.

[@old_stein]

Love this summary. I'd like to add something. If it's an alt, there's a high chance you have a black abyssal weapon from mediah questline. There is a quest you can pick up from altinova to make it a weapon box and it can be opened and used on another character; even season character. You can do this quest every week.

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Excellent tip that I entirely forgot!

[@ollieskrr]

What's the name of the quest

[@oliverz4133]

I think it’s part of the main quest line.

[@JebesNikove]

Best beginner BDO youtuber PERIOD. Bless you dude !

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Glad you like the content!

[@hby7768]

he makes the game fun since everything is so confusing

[@Alex-gn6ii]

Tip for new (and poor) players playing with a season character: power through and complete the mediah questline (needed for Black Spirit Pass rewards). By the time you're done you'll be around lvl 52 to lvl 56, have ~ 110 to 160 AP (depending on accessories) and 140 to 190 DP. You'll also have a butt ton of beginner blackstones that can be used to make two sets of PEN Naru gear (I still had over 1500 stones left over--you can sell these for some bonus silver) that you can convert into two sets of PRI Tuvala gear through exchanging with Fughar (he chills by the stables). With two sets of Tuvala gear you'll be able to have one set for use while grinding out your time filled Tuvala materials and another set of gear that you can use for all of your enhancing attempts.

[@Moellie1]

Wait, why not use the enhanced one for grinding?

[@Alex-gn6ii]

@@Moellie1 simply use whichever of the two sets is higher. You'll want to leapfrog them.

For the Black Spirit Pass it on the top right corner of your screen (1st icon to the left top bar of your minimap, you need to finish Main story quest in order to receive the rewards from it),

[@mentormentat]

At lvl 55 you want to take to Promotion Quest from Sarma Outpost's 3 otters at the tower roof, which will give you 30% of the lvl 56 XP (and doing it requires grinding Helms, Abandoned Mines and Elrics)

[@Alex-pq1sj]

pearl abyss should be paying this guy. the first time i logged onto black desert, I was overwhelmed and dropped it in an instant. but the tutorials he makes is so easy to understand that made me easily pour a 40 hour of gameplay. And I bet I'm not the only one who had the same experience

Fastest way to get to lvl 60 is to wear two headbands at the same time. Your apm will increase with 72%

[@DaPlatypus]

Can confirm, the second I equipped my second headband my keyboard exploded.

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Very true, but thats too advanced for most new players. I wanted to keep this simple for beginners! 1 headband is more than enough in this case.

[@masterchief132000]

What's is the use of a headband and how can I get them?

[@christandseether7069]

@@masterchief132000 ​ A headband is an item dropped by Killing @EvilDoUsHarm in the game. Evil has around 400 headbands available for other players to "Steal" Once you have obtained the headband, you will start glowing and your APM will increase with 50% for the first headband, and 72% while wearing two. So when you see Evil streaming, I recommend you try kill him. The event is soon over so be fast!

@@christandseether7069 how would you know where evil do us harm playing?

[@iceblade4024]

Great guide. Only three notes for people: The Kaia weapons are only available after lvl 45, so you'll have to pick that up before heading into Mediah (if you were planning to use it), second the Ornella weapons aren't usable by Seasonal Characters (not an issue for standard characters). And finally, I've found that the sub weapons are usually allot cheaper at the Central market than the npc. So it might be better to check if you can get one from there before buying it from the npc.

[@iceblade4024]

I would like to confirm though, that seasonal characters can use the Kaia weapons.

[@californiawoozanga1520]

Why I'm not surprised, I used to watch your Blade and Soul guides, it's been a while since I saw any of your videos, glad to see you are still going strong! I'll probably start BDO soon, so thank god you are playing it as well :D keep up the amazing work man!

Your vids are concise, good explanations, and I love the small bits of humor you add as well.

This guide was a lifesaver. Take heed about skipping Valencia II. Of all the questing I hated Valencia I the MOST. It SUCKED, so I can only imagine how bad Valencia II is! Thought I would pass on a little shopping list for Valencia I questing. Purified water (bought Marketplace) Star Anise Tea (bought Marketplace) Shovels (bought Vendor, but you are given a special shovel as well from a quest) Pearl Shop Compass x3 (bought pearl shop, 50 pearls per Compass) Make sure to unequip AND discard the old, used up Compass before trying to use a new one!!! IMPORTANT, if you don't then your Compass won't work. Silver for Rare Wine x3(needed for Quest)(just have the silver on hand, the NPC will direct you as to where to buy the Wine. F6 = Steal(there is a stealing quest and you are not given this information!) Cheers! and thank you for all of your AMAZING vids.

Nice guide. But if I may suggest for those 530% EXP scroll, just grab em all and put it in Velia, where new character always ended up first. Cause in the past it's been refreshed once, and if you didn't get all before, you will ended with the new stock. Who knows when they'll refresh the amount again.

You can also use tet logia hunters armor to get an easy 244 dp. This is a lifeskill armor, so it will work on seasonal characters. The only downside is you will miss out on any 4 piece set bonus abilities and bonus attributes.

Dude its very nice Video and tips. I reckon this is for Brand new players. But if they have that Ap u showed then i recommend after reaching heidel u prolly around lvl 11-12 13 even. Then go moretti Plantation untill lvl 20-Bloody Monastery untill 30-32-33 then Straight to Refugee untill 40-41 then u just finish it off in Catfishman Camp until u are lvl 50-51. From there u wana stopp by Heidel to throw some stuff off in storage and sell stuff if needed. Then ur off to Manes Hideout untill u are 56. Eazy Peasy!

Option B: Take a friend with at least 530GS, go to shultz camp and activate 600% exp scroll, in about 30 mins you'll be level 56 now and you have to go to mirumok with at least another 530GS friend (30 mins of time with a slow horse), there activate another 600%+530% exp scrolls, in another hour you'll be 59, and if you're lazy you'll leech another hour and you'll be level 60. Time spent on levelling your character ~ 3 hours For 61 there are a lot of videos which shows which quests you need to do, but you'll need the chenga book which is obtainable by a quest line That's how we leveled up our season characters in this season 3 hours for 60 and 4 (if you have the chenga) for 61
