[Black Desert Online] Enhancement Guide (Updated Beginner Guides Pt. 2)

[@SStylism]

As I rarely actually write comments for any videos but here I'd like to to give my sincere thanks for putting the effort in making this in depth comprehensive enchanting guide, I find myself pausing and learning the details seconds by seconds throughout some parts of the video, and they helped answering all the confusions and unknowns I had before watching your video. 10/10 best guide out there.

[@Bruhza22]

Thanks for the guide. It helped me get my tet to duo.

[@Domeran]

Anytime!

[@safatimtiaz6641]

lmao

[@mattoubatou]

Returning to BDO after a year of not playing (only had lvl 43 ranger :D). Nice to see you're still around, best BDO content out there. There really aren't many decent content creators doing BDO so thanks for sticking with it! Having a blast, now have lvl 55 striker fully geared for Boss grinds. Your videos helped ease the learning curve this game requires to just gear up and grind efficiently.

[@aronmo2755]

Nice to have you back! ^^

[@k1mpman]

Holy shit this helps me so much! I just came back and didn't know about the ultimate stones. Thanks Hakurai so much, I'm glad you're back to hold my hand haha!

[@dementedwallaby]

I love this game, but the upgrade system is a complete nightmare.

[@chongokhan]

I guess you haven't played ragnarok online

[@goblissm]

No, Hakurai, they didnt add Valks Cry. They added Advice of Valks. A completely different item. Not in cash shops in other regions.

[@BIueharvest]

I love all your vids, man! You have such a nonchalant charm and humor, and they're so informative too!

[@TheBanned0ne]

HE'S ALIVE!

[@k1mpman]

Honestly, if you're up for it. I'd love to see a comparison on how much real life money you can spend and how much that helps you upgrading/fixing ingame. Even without selling perl items for silver. I thought it would be interesting to see.

[@lynyrdarano2909]

best guide i watch on enhancement

[@LlamaSpeeed]

O SNAP I WATCHED THIS DUDE YEARS AGO FOR TERA NOW WE MEET AGAIN FOR BLACK DESERT AHHH

[@siwere]

Thanks for the guide, helped me alot to understand this system as a new player!

[@Makari126]

at 9:40 you say that you can use forcing FS and then you say that you save the FS but how can you save them when force the enchantment and then the fs will poof, i am confused

[@jakedg4870]

oh look who came back to the game

[@iller3]

Side Note on blackstone POWDER: The most reliable way to get more of it Cheaply, is to MAKE your own level2 infusion Crystals which you can crush down for up to 33 powder each. You can farm them from elites, but being an Alchemist guarantees far greater accessibility to them

[@marshalcure]

how does this work? the ingredients to make crystals would take awhile to get, takes two crystals themselves (to make lvl 2) and are not the most abundent. it seems like this would be very ineffencient. maybe I'm missing something tho.

[@SoukenIDK]

just go to the iron mines near altinova, 1 elite run = 1,2-1,5k poweder in like 15 min....

[@wojtski97]

5:57 by half? Isn't it enachance mode - 5 durability and on durability mode - 4 durability?

[@Erox006]

@4:15 and how do we get those crystal shards ?

[@Buggerme75]

so its better to up your green item to plus 15 before you increase its quality, to blue or yellow, because repairing the durability on the green item will be cheaper than yellow

[@fasddfadfgasdgs]

advice of valk isn't a buyable failstack. it's to store failstacks on you characters so you can build new fail stacks.

[@christinehede7578]

Why enhancing ultimate gear? it costs far more to repair than green. Get your gear to the level you want then upgrade is far better

[@kikibones6109]

Christine Hede you can repair ultimate yellow gear with green or blue versions of that gear so you don't have to wait

[@Tracks777]

When is your next video? :D Keep it up!

[@Kinda_Venty]

Haku were's the money guide ;w; all these gearing guide but I only got tree fiddy in my pocket T^T

[@iller3]

That's pretty much the only good part of the game ... there isn't a super Optimum one size fits all path to Silver or more importantly Enchanting Materials. And IF too many people all start using the same one, it usually becomes more difficult for ALL of them to do it as rapidly so you gotta diversify your methods

[@Domeran]

I'll make a money guide when I have money ;'(

[@Kinda_Venty]

Hakurai #BrokeLife

[@zeroslope1161]

Kinda Venty I just grind sausans all day for money.

[@animeinsane9611]

Dude how do u upgrade duo gear...and if I fail will my gear go back to below duo?? please help

[@Dexonic4]

I still have no idea how to fails stack :c

[@BGBC]

LOL @18:58.. I'll keep that in mind

[@Ennjoying]

isnt it better to take both nodes from the abandoned iron mine because the other node gives plat too and the Omar Lava cave costs 3 contribution Points more that way or am i missing something?

[@ziomek199]

Hakurai will you make new class guide including awakenings??? :)

[@kuposceptre]

Should you not say New alt and not new player because you still need grunil unless you have a level 50+ character right?

[@schommii9176]

Where do i repair my fishing rod?

[@voidwonder7904]

how do players even reach a failstack higher than 25? considering how 25 fs is what you need to get the best chance on enchanting 14 to 15. ill just end up enchanting the item before i get the fs i want.

[@Morrgovani]

please help why won't my great sword reform to blue it is on green I have the blue reform stone and when I pull up the black spirit the blue reform is greyed out what can I do or what am I doing wrong Mr boopey

[@snackpaxcup]

Thanks so much for this guide, theres so many outdated guides out there...

[@bloodwolf9428]

I'll come back in a few months when I know what you are talking about.. I guess not enhancing or upgrading the gear quests and random drops give you won't matter until awakening?? I hope? Because I'm level 20 and just play with whatever drops or I receive from the main quests. Not sure how enhancing or upgrading works but the stuff you mention I have no idea wtf they are^^. All I know now is I can fish and sell fish and follow the main quests and grind there a bit if the mobs are my level?

[@lighthouseKeeper42]

Warum nutzt du mit dem Wizard immer den Stab mit Standart Angriff? Habe ich verpasst wie stark er is oder is das aus Gemütlichkeit? :>

[@kosiorski]

I dont play this game but i love listening you :D I'm waiting for others MMORPG.

[@mightysqueakerz]

When I add the ingredients to make a ultimate reform stone it's says it's not working at all...do I need a certain level processing?

[@aquiouskylos2645]

newbie here - is it financially feasible to buy better enhanced gear rather than lose so much to RNG?

[@3nControlLP]

I think you guys should Upgrade acc. U get so many failstacks by going for tri heve or grunil. Use those stacks and u can save so much money. Got 2 duo red corall earrings and 2 duo marks for Like 120mil (excluding failstacking cost) that Would have cost me more than 400mil..

[@vtyranicmc]

Can you do an updated node management guide for beginners pleaasssee!! Love the guides 👍👍

[@Domeran]

What did you want me to cover? I haven't looked into it but I'm pretty sure my old node/worker guide hasn't been made obsolete in terms of explaining the basics of the system - I can certainly make another video for it though if it feels like it's missing a lot of information!

[@Cleetus76]

Is all of this still applicable today or is there an updated guide? (Thanks for this btw)

[@x3Draw]

Advice of Valks and Valk's Cry are 2 different things

[@yheonmercado8506]

Why not just force enhance instead of going through hell to go through failstacking, cause even failstacking is still ring, all rather force enhance and waste a bunch of silver than going through that hell?.

[@xoYamo]

Can anyone help me???? If i select the item i want to enchant, i cant select the blackstone to do it. Any tips?????

[@AwanisSixNine]

12:45 looks like cheap commercial. Did black desert buy you?

[@Domeran]

I was trying to be funny ; ;

[@AwanisSixNine]

glad to hear that. I've been noticed by senpai everyone!

[@thegto2007]

does it have to be the specific green item that can be upgraded to the yellow item by those stones?

[@Badkarma912]

the best advise dont rage enchant NOTED

[@plumbingplanet0359]

i need some help what armor is best in slot for musa right now?

[@TrikaArts]

I'm really new to the game and was confused on what gear i should settle in ? should i rush levels and buy gear and enchant it or go slow and enchant anything as i'm slowly leveling

[@K1kuch1]

Can i refine/combine Crystals to a high tier Crystal?

[@Udontoad]

what level should i start worrying about my gear?

[@reyflp]

Did u just quit again :(

[@victormteosc4]

Blue stones can go yellow too, take note :P

[@Harryaars]

How tilted were you with these gloves :P?

[@Killa162]

To ask for something next, what about an ACTUAL failstacking video. So obtaining stacks to get +14 and +15 for boss gear, how to get stacks for PRI, DUO, and at least TRI. There's written guides over google and the main forums but no good failstack guides in video form. So if you make a guide on how to use a negative karma alt, and how you go about enhancing gear like reblath to 13/14 and get stacks off of it for the lower chance then use the karma alt and other methods beyond that to reach PRI/Duo,TRI stacks it would greatly help new players or slightly recent players from steam that have been around for a few months or a player like me that just starting to obtain boss gear that has done multiple hiatuses since launch and always bought his gear from the marketplace. So a DUO and TRI failstack guide in video form would be fantastic. I know how to get 15-18 stacks for PRI and how to get the lower stacks to 1 tap 1-15 on boss gear. But above PRI is hard and other then the typical reblath system to get ~18 maybe low 20's, idk how to get any higher.

[@Naxxaran]

At the very beginning he said beginners should get the chest piece from the black spirit quests. Can someone tell me which chest piece he means? (couldn't find it with the name he named)

[@blackheavymetalman]

roaring magical armor. it starts out at dim magical armor. you get it from black spirit. at lvl 50 or 52. you need to complete alot of black spirit quests first though.

[@Naxxaran]

Oh i see, ye i kinda skipped a lot of the quest because i wanted to Kill stuff :P but i wanted to do all the quest eventually so i guess it's about time

[@roadhouse2]

So I should upgrade to ultimate armor when i get +15? I always thought you needed a ultimate armor for getting back max durability after that

[@Mernom]

No green works too.

[@ModifyMe223]

Ye you can still get downgraded while using cron stones. Happened 3~4 days ago.

[@gaminglt8493]

What armor Should i buy than instead of grunil you suggested than i bought for a wizard?

[@Domeran]

Grunil is okay, it's just slightly more expensive than something like heve+quest armor which you can get instead

[@DrCaesarMD]

Hey, I asked this question on the subreddit but I got super toxic replies so I'll ask here instead. How bad are the microtransactions in this game? I was super into the game but didn't buy because the microtransactions seemed dodgy. How much does it affect the gameplay if I do not use them?

[@ericleavitt9281]

If you're too poor to spend a couple hundred dollars on the game, I recommend you do something else with your time that will benefit your wallet more.

[@Mernom]

I'd say that exept pets and costumes (both of which you can get from the market) you don't really need to spend any cash. Neither of those are really nessesary, just really make you're life easier.

[@gramarmy]

There are really only a few things that you MUST buy for convenience and saving time.Get 3 pets ASAP... you can currently have 4 out at a time, but 3 at level 10, you will not have to personally ever loot mobs. Also, a horse flute is a MUST for me. You can only call your horse to you from 30 meters away, with a horse flute, you can call it from 500 meters away. I cant tell you how many times that 500 meter call has saved my ass. Inventory and weight limit is useful, but you can get all that in game, I very rarely fill up my inventory slots with 40 slots, which are all from in game. Weight limit will bog you down, but that only saves time from running back and selling it, which there are easier ways to do it. 3 pets = $30 (they are used on ALL characters (account bound) Horse flute + $15 (this is CHARACTER bound) so only buy one on what ever class you will MAIN. $45 is what you MUST spend in the cash shop, after that, you can get everything else in the game, and through free events.

[@DrCaesarMD]

So if I want my best value, I should buy the 10 dollar version on steam, then spend 45 in the cash shop? That might be alright. I would've originally bought a 60$ version anyway.

[@Sphierro]

WHATS UP BOOPER'S

[@IxamusMC]

Are those guides really for beginners? :S

[@iBeTonyy]

WTF I am just learning about reform stones? Do they work on boss gear?

[@Domeran]

They don't work on gear that's already yellow, nope

[@pkerlei]

they do not work on boss gear,

[@iBeTonyy]

Hakurai so if I'm at 6-8 on each grunil should I manually enchant or reform?

[@leonkenedy4616]

use the reform stone once you ve reached the enhancing level desired since you get less chances to succede the enhancement in a yellow piece of gear.

[@iAmDiBBz]

@leon kendedy. False. the base item is still green. just because its been upgraded to ultimate doesn't make it any more harder to *Enhance* not enchantment! just an FYI for you. the only thing in which this doesn't apply is memory fragments. repairing a green or blue item on a ultimate weapon / gear will count as 1 because memory fragments go of the rarity of the item rather than the base armor rarity (IE: GREEN) don't go spreading false information please.

[@egth1300]

@Challenger: Hey friends im on my trial acc, running out soon. Is this game p2w for real wanna know befor i buy?:o

[@SquamatoHD]

hey, so grunil is not good anymore? im using 4 grunil on my level50 ninja, on what level do i get the armor from my blackspirit?

[@Domeran]

Grunil is still good as a 4 set, just punishing when you start replacing pieces and losing the set bonus, also a bit more expensive then the other armor - the quest should come around lvl 55 I believe

[@SquamatoHD]

Ok thanks a lot, i will keep my grunil at +7 then until i reach lvl56 or so :)

[@UchihaGamingHD]

+bigMagnum I suggest upgrading it to like +12 at the very least or putting it at Ultimate PRI at the max or just switching to heve rn, on your journey to 56, your kinda gonna need that DP, and if your gonna linger at +7 grunil expect to die alot, especially at ninja with no I-frames/super armor ALOT lol, so i would either keep upgrading your grunil and then once you get your first boss armor, trade your grunil for heves by putting it on sale and then with the profit of the sold armor get 3 heve pieces or just switch to heve now if your quest for boss armor is serious

[@SquamatoHD]

UchihaGamingHD do i lose gems when i reform the gear? its blue rn

[@UchihaGamingHD]

+bigMagnum By gems, I believe your referring to crystals, so no you do not lose crystals by reforming armor and weapons

[@Marco-uk7dc]

Welcome back Booper! Please do BDO weekly again please?! @hakurai

[@madafaka3587]

Omg force enhancing bheg gloves, my eyes are bleeding rn!

[@Handegekke]

Jep going buy items fuck me with the stacks giving me a headpain.

[@justbynk]

I should've watch this before buying Liverto as a newbie.. so failed xD

[@Tha_Monsta88]

New player from steam here. Tha_Monsta88, let it be known..

[@Tha_Monsta88]

Jared Heath in madia1. Na

[@gloggare]

the enchanting system is what i HATE with this game! FML trying to build fail stacks with 14+ items and you allwas get 15+ on it on low stacks .... and few milions later when you get decent stacks you Fail on the upgrade you want... and when you need memory frags to repair it goes bonkers.... cost me 100+ mil to get my Awakening weapon to 15............

[@iAmDiBBz]

its Enhancing.... Not Enchanting

[@DarkSoby17]

Andreas D You are doing something wrong if it cost you that much just for +15 or just insane bad luck lol

[@gloggare]

RNG jezebus dont like me.. memory frags are expensive... got it to 16 last night ... after my FS stack item ate 3x 22+ stackas..

[@DarkSoby17]

Andreas D strange, i always get PRI with 14-18 fs and DUO with 18fs and above o-o

[@sausje]

Lol, I've played Silkroad Online when it first came out, now that system is even more RNG. When you failed, you go back to +0 and failing already happened after +3.

[@K-Von]

I didn't understand anything! :$

[@iller3]

His guide is spot on....it's just a REALLY TERRIBLE system that needs to be redesigned

[@sipsi1995]

lol, the fact that i didnt pay attention to the video and just used it as a sort of podcast to keep me focus wtf is wrong me D: ur voice is focusing if that makes any sense ...

[@vaporiiz]

Thx

[@InYoPie]

The way he says "Masochist" tilt me.

[@Nabuchodonozord]

IT'S ENHANCE, NOT ENCHANT

[@ddfstar7588]

Nabuchodonozord lol

[@ramon709]

I will just buy good gear off the market and sell the memory frqagments and stuff. RNG sucks :)

[@draco0675]

Boss offhands are the best in slot, however in areas like sulfur mines or pila ku jail, even the kutum offhand is inferior to something like a saiyer since the accuracy requirement in these areas is so high. Nouver is best for pvp, kutum best for pve, just make sure to use a saiyer in super taxing areas as even a saiyer will do more damage than a kutum there.

[@nomon-4287]

rage enchant best enchant ;-) (only for the masochists out there)

[@nomon-4287]

hehe, I'm one of those masochists too ;P

[@nomon-4287]

also, only some ocean gathering stuff will give shards

[@MaynardKeenanX]

"I hate rng" - plays asian mmos

[@bloodwolf9428]

Problem is the non-asian MMO's has my little pony pvp and usually sucks ass or gets boring.. I used to play an Asian p2w MMO for 4 years.. Bets pvp in the world.. Though usually the publishers in EU/Na screws it up. Still the rng and gambling upgrade systems always sucks. I'll rather just cash in and buy all the shit already upgraded-_- These days I almost prefer online arena action pvp games like For honor. because you get to enjoy the pvp from day 1. It's not this bullshit questing till you die, PVE till you die then after 500 years you can maybe start pvp because you have some gear then they change the meta and you need new gear. Though it's probably personal opinion.

[@iAmDiBBz]

erm what... first of il just start of by saying. Its *ENHANCING* not En-Chant-ing :D Plz Hakurai plz :P also no... plz... why you misleading hakurai. grunil is still perfectly ideal for new players. weather or not you want to spec for a specific stat like full evasion. how can you say its not ideal when you still have a guide out that says to new players hey get yuria. you know how often im in server chat and see so many people enhancing yuria. :D grunil is a crucial part to maximizing AP which is pretty dam resourceful for new players. especially when you will be doing that alot in your journey to 56 and beyond. accuracy and AP should be at the foremost focused on while the grunil set provides additional hidden AP. if you go for a DK for example. you'd pick Rosar / Saiyer knot + gruiil and get as much AP accessory's as possible. and if you wanted to mitigate some dmg, slot +8 or +20 evasion gems into the helmet depending on how you want to go about it. the dim magical armor provides the equivalent to +15 or pri / duo when upgraded yes. but unless you want to go a full evasion set which would be fine for striker or ninja etc. having grunil will benefit grinding meaning more silver and more EXP, faster EXP = faster leveling which ultimately improves killing mobs quicker and quicker. because you have access to higher tier skills which will utilize the AP even better cause the skills do better damage but you cant mislead people and say grunil is not ideal anymore. its 100% ideal and a tri / tet set is always recommended to have as starting set for new classes or alts you want to level with ease. also boss off-hand while yes for some classes is just no. like sorceress for example. very gear dependent class but very strong also. a ultimate helrick off-hand and you just wreck. especially if its at tri / tet. but yeah il 100% agree. that certain classes you're better off using green items then getting them to ultimate compared to kutum or nouver

[@Hachibearz]

DiBBz nice essay,you should write my thesis

[@iAmDiBBz]

Kookiez Wow.... what an original comment! *Hey Man. nice reply, You should study instead of getting others to write your thesis*

[@Domeran]

ya'll are killin me lol, Last video that recommended Grunil had quite a few players explaining to me with pretty indepth details about why grunil is not the best for new players, he basically said that heve+quest is just cheaper to enchant, and heve can adapt and still provide set bonuses easily once you start replacing it for boss armor while grunil cannot. I agree that grunil is more ideal stat wise particularly if you are keeping it long term but the arguments that were made for heve/other + quest were pretty sound particularly for new players in the money saving department. I believe there is merits to both choices.

[@kikibones6109]

DiBBz his point was I think about how you can break the grunil hidden stat when you are transitioning to boss so if you switch out your gloves or something to boss you can loose that so hidden stat so other sets might be better for that piece meal phase

[@iAmDiBBz]

the problem is tho there is no need for that anymore. because there was no rosar in game at the time. rosar + accuracy off hand is pretty much all youl ever need to apply the full amount of dmg of mobs thats at dark purple. ofc after a certain point. its best to start investing into boss armor at like duo - tri rosar / off-hand etc. sure you could sacrifice 1 piece of grunil and equip bhegs gloves for example for more accuracy. but in all honesty imo, id favor the 2 extra AP as a starter player than boss gear. id typically leave boss gear till i get my full set to pri as thats typically on the same level of DP as duo grunil. its why AP accuracy is most favored because its all youl ever need for the quick grind to 56. once you get your kzarka. id say sure you can then swap out your gloves for example and get bhegs equipped assuming they are +15 or pri at least. 5 AP let alone 7 goes a decent way considering rosar + off-hands both have accuracy increases per enhance which is more than enough to apply top notch dmg at sausans and pirates

[@gordenlau6757]

I already got my grunil to +9-15 =\.

[@Domeran]

Grunil's not bad! I personally still use it, its just that other stuff can be cheaper and easier to switch out without losing set bonus!

[@Goramann]

Hey Hakurai, Youn meantioned the Soaring Chestplate in the video. I can't find the name on the internet. Did I understand the word incorrectly? Great video as always, glad to be a Pooper.

[@gramarmy]

Grunils is a great set for almost every class for PRE-boss gear. Just get all pieces to +15, and then leave it alone and start working towards boss gear. I currently am still using a full set of PRI grunils, I have 360 mill in the bank waiting to get a kzarka TRI sword off the market

[@Goramann]

Got it, thanks.

[@winstonaung444]

P2W game? Make a vid about how much to spend to win this game :)

Do you want to Win at Horses, or at House furniture? ...b/c those are the 2 areas that are the hard definition of P2W
