Dont comment often but damn PA should pay you to make content. Spot on guide .. high quality shit right there. You went beast mode for 2 hours straight. Respect! So refreshing to have people like you in our community.

[@Jaibie123]

Veteran casual player here and honestly so glad your videos popped up into my algorithm. Its so good hearing once in while throwbacks while providing current content for me to enjoy and soak in while i get back into my BDO gaming now my PC can play remaster mode. I loved when you said no one goes to top parts of Mediah and i seen my maxed lvl Sausans/Elric/helms and surrounding nodes and giggled. This game is super different now but still the same gem, from spending my afternoons casting my chain lightning on every mob to get lvl 50, getting my Yuriahs staff to +15. To just now been giving a PEN armor from completing a long puzzle quest. Such a good move from Cacao I am swimming in maids and free stuff, I just love the combat man nothing sates me like BDO combat. Great work and content Blue!

[@elf4024]

Great coverage of all the worthwhile nodes, nice advice for both new and veteran players on what to and not to go for, and your high energy style! Thank you!!

[@ShifterSix]

Love your vids - education with tons of character and humor 10/10

[@Jacob6853]

As a returning player who had no clue first time around, I really appreciate your vids

[@mauriceelet6376]

got a lot from that thanks. the webside is awesome for finding the best money configuration. saved like 30 cp i could reinvest into more workers and nodes.

[@Eulemitkeule]

Dude i recently discovered your Channel through your reaction Videos (usually hate that content, but you deliver 😮) and i watched more and more Videos. But this one is quiet a Banger... ive never in my 5 Years of BDO listened to someone, explaining this Topic so indepth and with this much Background information, while being as entertaining as you have explained it. Iam a german Content creator for BDO myself, but seing someone talking this deeply, without stuttering or messing Things up, like you, really impresses me. HUGE Probs man, i hope i catch you live soon, so i can at least give you sth. Back for this true gem. Greetings Eule ❤

[@scridernguyen]

It makes sense you're an educator. Your guides are great.

[@micke7261]

I've been playing BDO for about a year, but I learned a lot of new things from your video. Very valuable content ! Fantastic energy, you're a great person (I'm about the same age) :) Keep up the good work !

[@bluesquadronlive]

Thanks so much!

[@KrygerWolf]

was in the stream when this being talked about, glad i have this vid to keep looking back on as i build my workers lol. very helpful. i never life skilled but ima start now, income is income.

[@kinggotenw]

Solid video. Explained several things I SHOULD do, and things I should STOP doing...

[@ChrisfrmOhio]

Can we get a trading guide next , I have watched your sailing one as well . TY in advance

[@mjcwvo]

Oh man if only you made this video literally 1 day earlier, I fixed my entire worker empire yesterday lmao. Great stuff though, actually ended up tweaking a couple nodes thanks to you. Working on the last stretch to 425CP atm to cap it all out!

[@ElizabethHanakata]

always the best guides and education. 10/10

[@MrNyygary]

Really good content, good job Blue.

[@guzerk2623]

Love all of you videos, really educational. I wish I have a teacher like you back in my school days, classes would be really fun.

[@xehna]

node guide from squadron?! i'm here for it!!

[@abraksas14]

even tho your wrong on the pvp chnges your youtube contant is great!

[@CommandoMaster]

Good guide man

[@COA5T]

I'm going to watch this in it's entirety, I swear ,because I would like to learn this. But holy f***, as a new player everytime I think about workers my head hurts, because you cant learn about it in the game, you have to go to an external source. And the external source is an hour-long college course on astrophysics and space-time continuum. Why in the hell did Pearl Abyss design the system like this in the first place? Ah well, popcorn is ready now. Thanks, Blue!

[@bluesquadronlive]

Haha well if you have questions comment and I will answer. I didn't do the best job explaining the beginning process of setting up the nodes. Definitely focused more on the value of each node and what newer players need to look for.

[@COA5T]

@@bluesquadronlive Much appreciated, brotha!

[@ReitetsuRe2]

In the early design the game have strong "realism" emphasis ( silver had weight, pvp guild requirements were to have good axe and stones). For past years PA is trying to stray away from this emphasis, but they can do only one thing at time. Workers Empire ( as some other parts of game) still have those archaic strings that they surely will cut in futere ( it took only 6 -7(?) years to make silver wightless). Praise the J for Magnus. However i have some strange nostalgia for horse on boat.

[@TheJabberWockyy]

Great video man

[@Rendrala]

Thanks for the video. Very helpful as a new player. Do you have any recommendation on a basic lifeskiller alt setup? Seems like the recommendation is to not do everything on one character. Also, are there some alts that should be kept at under 49 or does it not matter?

[@bluesquadronlive]

Training alt: sub 50 tamer, much better auto path routes are possible on sub 50's since you can be out of safe zone. Tamer is rumored to get a special passive to deal with taming some day but it really doesn't matter if you want it to be a diff char. Bartering alt: sub 50 corsair. Bartering people enjoy doing afk or semi-afk. Can't do that realistically if you aren't on a sub 50. Corsair gives you the ability to glide on water and swim quickly without a shark suit. Hunting Alt: 62 striker/mystic (60 is fine), they have a crit passive that gives them a serious advantage in hunting. At 62 they get 1% special attack dmg like every class so its beneficial but not necessary. cooking/alchemist: I have the same character do both of these which means she has both outfits from the pearl shop. She also has a lot of energy bc she is in front of the utensil a lot so she is also the main gathering character. Fishing: I do have an alt for this and they are over 50 but theoretically you could have a sub 50. Either way, this character would need to have a lot of inventory and using a bunch of inventory on a sub 50 is a feelsbad. - Hope this helped!

[@Rendrala]

Definitely helped. Thanks again. :) @@bluesquadronlive

[@jonathanhalko745]

If you only had 150CP would you start making a node empire or would you just do framing instead

[@Metayounis]

I wish if you'd reduce the gain from your microphone, the clipping is driving me insane

[@anwar5792]

When is there an update on this?

[@vintz5617]

🧐lowest resource node information on my map shows 97% throughout all node

[@alvinmapanao920]

When I can’t connect to a node “there are no discovered nodes to connect” what does this mean and how do I fix that? Example: Valencia city & erdal farm

[@Orapac4142]

It means there is a node you have not found yet. If you go into Erdal farm, there should be a "previous node" button you can click that will mark where the node you need that comes earlier in the connection chain is.

[@alvinmapanao920]

@@Orapac4142 you sir, are the goat. thanks so much! i'll look into it when i get home from work! :)

[@alz2698]

Is there a node for traces of death?

[@robpanel]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="195">3:15</a> lol

[@bread7932]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="780">13:00</a> hmm

[@shmong247]

2024 updated guide?

[@abraksas14]

what do you teach?

[@bluesquadronlive]

Biology, Forensics, Astronomy, Ecology - mostly Bio tho

[@LP_Dispenser]

8+4+2+2 = 25?

[@Inguise]

Dude showing all nodes without worrying about storage capacity. Literally no contribution spent on storage capacity. That takes around 30% of your total contribution.

[@alexp8924]

There are plenty of sheets showing you exact income per contribution. “This is good this is not good” wtf is this. Also Valencia has like 3-4 out of top10 silver nodes.

[@bluesquadronlive]

Always good to expect a new player to understand how to hire workers, which workers to hire, how to invest in nodes, the best way to connect those nodes, how to calculate efficiency, AND immediately understand how and where to find every single node in the game based off of a massive spreadsheet of what nodes make the most money. You are probably right. Also good to just assume that although that node is making a lot of money, it also is good for a brand new player to invest potentially up to 15 contribution to reach that node. Also always good to assume players are only looking for money and not looking to get into alchemy, cooking, or any of the other lifeskills that require node worker management. Probably right. l.o.l.

[@miravlix]

That video didn't age well, timber is no longer a "thing", they are all at min price now. Perhaps stop giving pricing advice in a guide so it doesn't get outdated after a week, just focus on personal use of items. Like traces or making the up to lvl 40 health food item. I don't get your hate of some items, we need to gather fruit, veggies and stuff somewhere in our empire and since LOML is low CP cost worker area, you might as well grab wild berries, instead of going near Old Tree and grabbing strawberries.
