It's been 4 months since I last put this video out, so I figured I would remake it and try and explain some steps more in depth. I'm sorry its so long, but if you're a new player, this will get you going FAST.

[@bbyKuddlez]

I've been outta the game for two years so thanks for putting me back on track lol. great vid!

[@Arrakiss20]

Really helpful video, will recommend this one for most of my friends trying to get into the game, thanks again!

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Thank you :D Glad you liked it!

[@jwouden]

Very helpful! Thank you for putting this together.

[@Yatsucookie]

Thank you for another helpful guide. I was a returning player a few months ago, you and Keroppi's videos helped me get back on track. - On a different note, I find it surprising that no one ever compliments you on the beauty of your face (◡‿◡✿). The short haircut makes it look even prettier. I don't mean to be disrespectful or inappropriate or flirtatious or embarrassing, but I felt like I had to mention it. 😊

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Thank you for the kind words :D . And I'm glad you've found the videos helpful!

[@paollopassoline]

Absolute UNIT Memes on the side, great video, amazing channel (bit too much information on this one btw, hard to diggest but even so i loved it) Keep it up

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Thank you :D This one is actually on my list of videos to remake, a lot changed with the June patch. I'll try and talk slower ;)

[@juansarmiento6754]

Thank you for all the content.

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Welcome :D

[@moonfireart3791]

Wait... this is actually a useful, high quality video.... Is this the real EvilDoUsHarm :P

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

The old EvilDoUsHarm has died. This is the new and improved version with higher quality videos. Except the next 3 videos are garbage quality soooo

[@magnuslindstrm5878]

Great video!

[@ryannam7716]

You have become my fav BnS KZbinr

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Don't watch my most recent video then its a joke L O L

[@user-tr3ng7vm5w]

thank you Evil, I like your video :D keep going dude

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Thank you :D

[@NyxaGrayheart]

This was extremely helpful thank you.

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Thank you for the kind words! :D

[@JoystickYang]

Thanks, really helped a lot on what to prioritize

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Glad you found the video useful!

[@GrantySquid]

These videos are really helpful, also the NPC's name is pronounced 'Key-Yuhn' (Yu said as in Yum or Yuck).

[@tufangul1975]

Great video. helped a lot, thumbs up.

[@frqmv.z5534]

Great tutorial! Thank you!

[@TubeBazzDaBazz]

Make a whole zero to hero video series. Even though I'm at the end game I enjoyed listening to this for some unkown reason and I would love to see some more Xd

[@victormclovin]

Wow this video help me alot! Now... after doing everything you said in the video what would be the netx step?

[@constantinvalentin5567]

tnx man for your usefull advice.

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Welcome :D This video is a bit dated, I have a new one to record for august, but most of it will get you going!

[@chilip7186]

get PINNACLE people! its better than hollow gear! and you can get all of them for like 4-5 dungeon runs (if you are lucky 3 separate runs!): shoguns lament, gloomdross and shattered masts. you only need from hollow is the gloves

[@chilip7186]

at that level raw AP is more important I think and you can get a lot from pinnacle, you can use this way more silver to roll for a 6 slot weapon too if you were not lucky. pinnacle is really easy to get even if you dont bid for it. almost guaranteed 1 of them from the dungeons it drops from

[@chilip7186]

the problem is not on how much damage you gain by getting this much ap, the problem is a bit with the community as you need to reach 1k ap first to be able to get into better parties. of course there are parties with lower requirements, and those who willingly carry low levels in dungeons, but after I got 1k my enjoyment got a lot better as more people were willing to play with me :P at least I think this is the case

[@Levhisaurio]

You should make a video after every patch please, im just starting to play again im a lost lol

[@kuronekonova3698]

To help others, Seraph is for HP , and Baleful is for Damage.

[@Feligresa]

Ehm, no, lol.

[@quinnhellebores4240]

Nova anyway for me to change my seraph into baleful?

[@vinny8174]

Doesent it cost more to get the resources to craft transformation stones with forgekeepers? On EU, elysian orbs cost like 11g each, will 6 transformation stones be enough or effecient?

[@vpgmaster680]

I watched the new level 55 vid ^.^ thank you for it. but I didn't hear a mention of what assecories we should get after getting the neck brace and belt. what ring and what earing should we be aiming for?

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Skybreak spire, which you shouldn't really be going for until you get the other three, unless you get into a run with a party who will carry or teach you. It's more of an endgame sort of thing you need to prep and read up for. I have videos on the mechs and stuff, so when you're getting ready check them out! Or join my discord and sign up for either my learning runs or someone elses carry run. They are offered all the time. Join me on Discord: discord.gg/3bUy9fr (I have a macro with my discord link, I'm tired of typing it xD)

[@locosback6454]

Hey! I'm new to the game and this vid was super informative! Thanks! I'm currently running the galaxy-then-baleful weapon upgrade set just to make the last leg of the story a bit easier and it took me about a week to hit galaxy 6. I started during trove and got super lucky with my legendary elements, but I'm pretty sure it's gonna take me a good month to get baleful 6 just because I have maybe 2 hours of play time at the end of the day every other day or so. Any tips to speed that up once I finish the story?

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Make sure you are opening up your inventers pouch that is free on the f10 menu, its a great way to get upgrade materials, other than that, you're going to have to just farm it up. There aren't any "fast" methods in this game. It's good that you got the elements though! Although you won't need those on the baleful path until the upgrade from stage 9 to 10. So really your biggest block will be upgrade materials (Soulstones moonstones elysians). For that, your best bets would just be running your daily and weekly dungeons. You'll net about 30 of each a week with pretty casual play, plus get some other materials along the way.

[@locosback6454]

EvilDoUsHarm thanks Much, I just finished that thing and I've got all but the flower for baleful

[@NabbiDentro]

Hi guys i was thinking of coming back to blade and soul after almost a year, is it worth?

[@tarsten7]

Thanks again for the guide dude your awesome Side note what mystic badge is that?

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

My destro has the MSP badge that reduces cooldown of fury by 0.6 seconds per hit of wrath. Not the best option tbh, but a solid starting one when I didn't have tons of feathers xD

[@tarsten7]

EvilDoUsHarm lol that's fair trying to figure out which one to get myself figured I'd ask xD

[@astralaris8712]

Thank you very much, i know you alredy made 5 o those but they are always helpful! I'd use Seraph for every class because it looks more fancy, exept for the Force master because that useless af! Isnt Seraph also stronger than Baleful as a Warlock? How good is Celestial basin farm? Exept for the Badge is it still useful for the Treasure Pouches? Thanks for the video again ^c^

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

If you have a clan with a peach bonus and EXP bonus, celestial basin farming is actually pretty good. You'll be netting 1.5x exp and peaches, plus 100k exp charms from every celestial basin boss (like 40 minutes between spawns). Of course you get the pouches too, but the fastest way to get treasure pouches is to farm yeti (avalanche den). Seraph on warlock is either way. I took seraph on my EU one because I have higher ping and no HM skills. Really it doesn't matter too much which you take, because you'll be going raven as a warlock after. However earth destro can now go that storm dragon path and keep their 100% fury build up (of course super late game lol).

[@astralaris8712]

Thanks, yes destroyers ae the only class that are really never using raven because fury is more important ^c^ I was hoping for an answer like that since i really enjoy farming celastial basin ^c^

[@elliotcross1027]

Helpful thank you !

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Welcome :D

[@eleanachaida2043]

FUCKING AMAZING VIDEO!!! I suddenly feel so.. knowledgable!

[@eleanachaida2043]

Will be checking the update videos as well to know exactly how to proceed, lv 48 atm

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Yes there is a version for October on the channel now, and I’m making a new one of these this weekend

[@luigigaminglp]

Only thing you missed out is that the weeklys have important mechanics, but overall i will recommend this Video to new members of my clan ^^

[@natalieyonaka3325]

warlock also goes seraph i think

[@adamdufty2536]

Don't have any soul item. What soul should I start with and how soon should I get it?

[@l.k.2290]

So I should focus on getting the 6 gem slot wep. Only after completing the entire story ?

[@akichi403]

I've played back in like 2011 before western release and back when they had the hongmoon weapon upgrade so thx😂

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

A lot has changed in 7 years ha! Happy to help!

[@Take19797]

i know all of these yet i still watched it from beginning to end lol

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Thanks for watching xD Sorry you didn't find anything!

[@visionofgrey]

How did you know you knew all of it if you didn’t watch it until the end?

[@madpro9633]

what is daily dungeon currency?

[@atracent9552]

Hey man would you suggest doing all this even if I just want to PVP? I've always been more of a pvp player in all MMOs and I'm sure I'll do pve eventually but I want to focus on getting moves like bombard and chasing rating.

[@atracent9552]

I also heard that gear doesn't matter in arena is that true? Are battleground different?

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Answering both your questions in one short paragraph: If you plan to only ever do Arena PvP you will never have to do this. All characters stats get balanced in arena whether you use the training weapon or the best weapon in the game. That said, Hongmoon skills do apply in arena, so you will want to get those (you can get them through pve or pvp, doesn't matter which. PvP might be easier honestly) If however you plan on doing battlegrounds, you will need to run pve content for upgrade materials, as well as accessories, since in battleground PvP your accessories and gear do count.

[@atracent9552]

Okay sweet thank you man the help is much appreciated! Is there a place or a training where I can just beat up on a dummy and practice my combos? I've seen some players on youtube do it in what looks like the hongmoon training room but it has me locked into practicing shadow/lightning combos or dungeons/raid stuff.

[@namielle9507]

Thank you bro. Im a new player in this game and im trying so hard to understand wtf to do for getting stronger . I already reached level55 but i have no idea what to do after that.

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

I'm literally editing the updated version of this video right now lol. Some stuff has changed so hold on for a few more hours, it'll be uploaded in like 3-4 hours

[@namielle9507]

EvilDoUsHarm take your time bro. Ill keep watching

[@VoiceInVoid]

I want to apologize in advance because I’m sure you get this all the tine, I went the route of light path on my weapon as a fire blade, and was wondering if I should swap it to bale?

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

no. Just keep it up to raven. It's not a big deal.

[@MuddaAsian]

Am I missing something here? I'm already at Act 8 and I'm only Lvl 50 HM 7

[@Seiza_InSomnia]

So, if u do that 3 dung x10times u get for sure the material to get the 3 legendary items?? Cause im new and i've been farming those dung assuming that i could get them by drop chance but i only got *****...

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

You need 600 total draken cores for the 3 accessories. Doing them 10 times lets you purchase the item from the merchant. You will likely need a lot more than 10 runs of each to get 600 draken cores. You get 250 from quests, so you will need 350 more cores, which is roughly 120 total runs. So do 10 naryu foundry, 10 naryu sanctum, then 100 desolate tomb. Desolate tomb 100 runs gives you 9 AP bonus, which is why you do that one 100 times.

[@Seiza_InSomnia]

ok, i got it thnx :)

[@D4RKD4YZ]

I have no luck with the 6 slot weapon drop just 3, 4, 5 😢

[@Rykiniafan1]

just watched the video and: with how expensive pet pods are (150g atm) and u mentioning theres free ones every day during events. theres an event going right now right? can someone tell me if theres free pet pods and if yes how to get em? this video saved me btw didnt play since pre wl release so ty very much ^^

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

No, this event is a bit different and instead focused entirely on upgrading your weapon. Take advantage of this event and get your weapon up to relatively high stages for roughly 50% the cost!

[@Rykiniafan1]

okay ty very much for taking the time u reply :)

[@thepack6465]

Just came across this video as I reached 55 few days ago, how realistic is being able to join the weekly challenges and the 3 dungeons for the Draken Cores at around 855 AP... :s

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

just look for a party recruiting in faction chat that doesn't care about AP. there are plenty, if you can't find one recruit your own. Realistically these raids can all be done around 850-900 AP.

[@lystal7454]

Which weapon should I get as Blade Dancer? Some people told me to get baleful others told me to get seraph? Can someone tell me which weapon I should I get and why? Thanks :‘)

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Baleful everything except earth destro or warlock (which can go either). Reason: baleful reset procs on-hit Seraph procs when-hit aka: you only get weapon bonuses when you get hit using seraph, where as baleful gives you it when you do the hitting. Your objective is not to get hit in blade and soul, so you should never be getting your seraph proc. Where as you want to do a lot of hitting, so you should be consistently hitting your baleful proc. In reality your goal is to go raven as soon as possible, so you won't be on the baleful/seraph paths for long.

[@lystal7454]

EvilDoUsHarm Thank you very much!

[@maranrajah7192]

Where would you pick hongmoon skills up?

[@astralaris8712]

You can get 1 from the Royal Zen Bean (Pvp item, ou have to buy it with zen beans) and you can get a few through 6v6 battleground which you cant do at the beinning of lvl 55, but at some events (like right now) you can get them dropped from event boxes!

[@maranrajah7192]

Astralaris when you talk about event boxes do you mean the inventors jackpot?

[@astralaris8712]

No at the end of the event dungeon, you get a chest, this chest can drop princess canonballs, which you can use with the canons in Jadestone, there you have a chance to get them! Hope that wasnt to complicated explained!

[@cosmosnox6186]

Do all storyline which require around 1k+ ap to get inside story instances which is nearly impossible cause people don't want to carry anyone . Most people at this point unistall the game counting me in i was literally dying by just logging in and do dailies and log off .

[@unes7930]

pts are 700g now lul rip new ppl its will hurts a lot to get raven upgraded now :/

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Price should fall down after the tacheon patch on May 9th. Right now you have everyone hoarding up materials to be able to upgrade the new accessories.

[@velvetnightmare5246]

hes kind of handsome

[@justfa8284]

Here is a reddit thread with almost all abbreviations and acronyms popular in the game: www.reddit.com/r/bladeandsoul/comments/6c45wk/bns_acronyms/

[@velvetnightmare5246]

and pillows XD

[@IllTygerKing]

Draken Core exchange doesn't work anymore... they locked the accessories behind achievements.

[@haraldseineoma]

IllTygerKing he talked about the achievements, you have to beat the respective Dungeon 10 times.

[@IllTygerKing]

1 month old, already way past this stage and he mentioned it very shortly is what I noticed when I rewatched a few times. :)

[@Rzz_Daniel]

so,bracelet first ?

[@idragonblade526]

Yes for cores from quest get braclete its gives biggest dps increase after soul. And kinda prioritise its upgrading after your weapon :)

[@Dimismr]

I guess New/returning players Will have a hard time grinding mats and gold since gold income is nerfed

[@jurgenschockaert5246]

that lady not sell those items anymore so video is outdated... thx for explaining tho but can you remove it or make a newer one thx in advance

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

[@syph8086]

I was lucky, got my 6 Slot Weapon through the Story lol

[@user-gi6hd5ol6f]

problem for me was just finding friends/decent guild its hard to find one that actually does raids/content that helps you progress and nowadays YOU are the bad guy if you point this out to them

[@ashleyredman]

So i started playing this again in the last few weeks, didnt think anything of it, im a earth destro, chose baleful (idiot), wit h3 slots. Put alot of time into getting the materials to upgrade it to currently stage 7. Half way throug watching this wishing id gone for seraph, thought fuck it, went to the merchant, roled a 6 slot axe straight away... fml. Looks like i need to re farm the materials to upgrade this now.

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

hmmm, how many slots does your baleful have? Baleful vs seraph isn't really a huge difference. Like I said in that other comment, the real difference is at the riftwalk/dawnforged stage (once again I forget which one is the 30% cooldown and I'm not online to check lol, but the 30% cooldown is the one you want). So if your baleful one is like 5 slots by now, it might be better just to go and finish upgrading the baleful then switch at the end. Likewise you can switch to seraph at any point with an oil, which is about 300 gold.

[@ashleyredman]

aha the baleful is like 3 slots, thankfully i had a bunch of materials so after running some stuff all day, both the seph and baleful are at stage 7 now, annnnddd thankfully thanks for this video, I got those recommended gems so I actually do something in boss fights now. thank you for your help btw, the videos have been awesome

[@madpro9633]

games hard without friends...

[@ClassicWhiteSilvia]

You can always make friends in game lol

[@Kenziex123]

... 100 times?..

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

yup. roughly 20 hours.

[@Teitenair2]

Once youve reached lvl 55 you've pretty much beat the game so I dont really see the point of gearing up....for what? So you can kill a raid boss 3 seconds faster?

[@MrAnas1987]

super easy this super easy that. yes if you play it for 5 years and had the time to adapt on everything. for a new player there is so much going on when you hit 55 that you dont even know whats going on. the game give zero guidea and if it wasnt for guides such as this on the internet i wouldnt even bother.there needs to be some linearity in a game in order for players to adapt without making a game into their life.

[@MochiMochiCakes]

I only come here for chicken tendies. unsubbed tbh.

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

same

[@dacasey24]

this game has so much complicated crap going on with it, honestly might finish the story and quit

[@Tokiomy]

This guy is a fake,the real EvilDoUsHarm cant play this game
