[Black Desert] Beginner Guide to Upgrading Naru and Tuvala Season Gear (Still Works in 2023/2024)

[@chilairearts4238]

Some additional advice: If you fail the tett attempt with fughar's 40 stack, your gear will bounce back to duo, so use the refined stone to get back to tri. It will NOT delete the 40 stack so you can keep going for tett with the same stack as long as you use refined stone to enhance back to tri.' If you fail pen enhance with fughar's 60 stack, store it in a naderre's parchment slot, so you can use it again when you get back to tett. You will now need extra 30-40 stacks to get back to tett, since you used them up successfuly enhancing to tett before the failed pen attempt. One quick way is to convert 200 time filled stones into 30 stacks. Season pass, and leveling aid boxes also give some stacks, as well as some of the main quest rewards.

[@xtryptaminex2148]

I was wondering if the refined stones would use the stacks, thank you for this comment

By stacks do you mean valks or fail stacks?

I'm glad they've helped you!

[@loykos2391]

Bro you’re explaining everything really well and in a calm manner. Thanks for helping us new players get through the complexity of this game.

[@CocaCoca44]

Bro thank you.... Thank you for this REAL beginners guide. Ive spent 3 hours looking for videos and none of them are explaining anything and all they say is "slam, fail stack" and move so fast through anything you cant even begin to keep up... Thank you so much for making an actual real guide for us just starting. Seriously cannot explain how long ive been trying to comprehend and figure this out. Subbed for sure.

[@1981AdamGs]

Each system in this game feels like a game itself. I just started playing. And I love it. But I think some of the systems are unnecessarily confusing and convoluted. Thank you for your guides. They have been extremely helpful.

[@Chelsu]

Agreed

[@blobs819901]

This is the best tutorial I've found so far, you gave a depth yet simple explanation and provide us with multiple way of doing thing, your channel is a gold mine

[@djirate052380]

Of all the videos i have seen this is by far more explanatory than anybody elses videos. Thank you so much man. I understand the method completely now in the first half of video. I had a hard time understandin failstacks. Plus the switchig to gear I wouldn't necessarily want to get those fails is awesome teaching.

[@Ronin-Kenshi]

I’ve watched many Tuvalu enhancement videos and by far this video is the best and most helpful. Thank you sir!!

[@aboodmahmed1]

Super detailed yet beginner friendly explanations that really helped me understand how to enhance. Been playing this game for about a week now & have been so confused on what to do other than the main quest line. I just got my Naru set and didn’t know what to do with it, so thank you very much for this video man!

@@EvilDoUsHarm same boat. Just started a week ago and was storing everything that seemed “important”. Now I know what to do! Thank you

[@cherishhaze]

One thing nobody says: don’t be shy on using materials and failstacks (advice of valks) since the gear you get graduating from the season will be totally different to enchant from the others, and you won’t need anything of what you used while in season

[@mickferos5082]

Returning player from years ago, found this very straight to the point and extremely helpful. Thank you!

Top notch guide as always! Although I am already full Pen Tuvala this season due to your former guide, I still watched this video till the end. Keep up the great work!

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Thank you and grats on full pen!

[@MrTimothyCross]

It's crazy how this video is super efficient in explaining this system and yet it's still 30+ minutes long. This game has always been overwhelming.

Ok, I don't usually comment and this video might be 1y old but I wasted SO MUCH mats trying this out myself and finally decided to look up a video. This one saved me so much time and frustration! You are amazing, THANK YOU🙏🏽

[@HeadiestOne]

New player: by far the best guides. You explain it bottom up, I find a lot of the other guides I've tried to watch talk to me as if I already know the mechanics of the game, which is precisely why I'm watching them. I don't mean that to be mean-spirited, I imagine it's hard to look at it from a purely new player perspective with years under your belt. That's what makes you great. Anyways, subbed, and thanks for these!

[@Si0Ro]

Really cool that you do a guide like this every season basically. Thank you very much, teacher. ☺️

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

I try to keep them up to date, sometimes I miss a season, but not much changes!

[@Pokdemon]

I'm a new player trying out bdo for the first time ever and I was so scared of enhancing any of my tuvala gear. With this video tutorial however I was able to learn how all of this worked, something no one else has been able to explain to me and I got all of my tuvala gear up to PEN :D I may have used a bit too many cron stones and advice of valks, but I think it's still worth it for your first set of armor. Thanks for the video.

[@Nuktahl]

If you have played through the main storyline on a different character and got the Red Sand Crystal Ring x2, Forest's Eye Earring x2, Rock Hard Belt and Tears of the Wind Necklace, you can equip these items on a new season character. This means that if you enhance the accessories to max level (TRI) you can start a fresh season character at level 1 with accessories worth over 70 AP.

[@bobby7274]

thank you for this! was having some anxiety trying to figure all this shit out on my own, but seeing you just relax and smash till it works gives me the confidence to just do it too

Awesome guide, in particular on failstacking. I'm a bit too lazy to do this, and I usually end up burning those Valk's Advices from previous seasons to get done with Tuvala gear fast, but I'll definetely try this out next season. As always, thank you!

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

I also usually burn the old stacks lol. But I figured I should make it for someone completely new that has nothing leftover...

[@Dragooncore]

Wow, your videos are awesome. I'm so lost in this game and your channel is a font of knowledge that's helping me piece this game together.

[@xNimroder]

To avoid frustration, I would recommend getting a spare set of gear to enhance once your main stuff hits TET. I would also recommend to always use the frozen tides blackstone on the awakening weapon since you can not get spares of those with Naru gear. Lastly, do try to enhance your accessories once your regular gear is at PEN if you have leftover materials since you won't lose anything and can still convert them to non-season to gear alts

[@nikkosmit6985]

I mean. Yeah you do. You lose the silver cost of the stones you could have sold for silver

[@Oni1975]

As an alternate perspective, given the abysmal success rates, heinous prices, and abusive enhancing mechanics of normal accessory enhancements, I'd actually suggest suffering through the pain with tuvala accessories. You can get basically a TET (in some cases TRI) accessory equivalent for very little (or zero) silver cost. There's only a 2-5 AP increase (5 for necklace) for most accessories from TET to PEN normal accessories, so that compares it very favorably with normal accessories. Having PEN tuvala accessories means players can focus on just acquiring better weapons, which will yield larger AP gains and a more efficient use of the player's money (both self-enhancing and outright purchasing). In most cases, the only upgrades available beyond a PEN tuvala are PEN normal accessories that are wickedly expensive (like 98 billion for an ogre ring or Tungrad necklace).

[@GoatSays]

Great guide. I absolutely hate this upgrade system though. It's the reason I refuse to play season servers. I would love to for the rewards but I just can't handle going through the enhancing system anymore, buying gear is just so much less stressful.

[@jeffrey778]

levi if you fail tuvla tet, just use the refined magical black stones for 100% back to tri, it will not consume your 45 stack doing this, because you are not using your fail stacks to enhance. instead of rouletting. i just call it "the season tet method"

[@kianaone2610]

So that's how you get better armor an weapons. Here I am with a Naru +8 weapon and all armor at +5 or +6 thinking I'll find better doing quests. Nope.. Apparently, you have to upgrade it all to get better armor and weapons. The things you learn watching videos. Lol Thank you.
