[Black Desert] New Player / Beginner Gear Progression Guide / Example Build Walkthrough

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

FULL DISCLAIMER: READ BEFORE YOU COMMENT: This video was created by popular demand. Understand that every item in this video is just a SUGGESTION/POSSIBLE CHOICE. The build in this video is a generic end game evasion build, that applies to many classes but not all. You should always consider your own class and passives before following any build you see online. I HATE making build guides, because everyone follows them like the law, and anything that varies slightly from what they would do is automatically trash tier content. THIS IS NOT THE LAW. THIS IS JUST ONE POSSIBLE PATH. Edit: This is a spreadsheet from ACanadianDude. It will help you when deciding between Evasion, Accuracy, DP, and DR as you progress. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1P6vY7nJGV3FZpxi9ZD3vs3iHUBGBRYXWgEzadrAM3J8/edit?usp=sharing

Thanks for the content G, apreciated

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

She is near the main stable of each city. You should definitely make a season character though and play it to level 61

[@romarioclarkpinda]

@@EvilDoUsHarm i was wondering if i change my season character can i continiue the season pass with a new char?

[@321SpartanCrossXD]

Thank you so much levi, you are helping us all out immensely

[@DavideRusso13]

Hi Levi! Thank you first of all, you're super!! One doubt: where I find the Ellie NPC (oasis gear)? I completed Mediah story line, enhanced Naru to PEN as suggested but in Calpheon I see only Fughar trading just Naru. Thank you!

[@naser3000x]

BDO needs to pay this guy because he is the one making the game actually accessible to new players

[@MuffinTopsADTR]

People follow it to the law because they have NO CLUE otherwise lol. I’m assuming I’ll learn as I play while watching guides.

[@AI-MusicPlanet]

Yeah, if it wasn't for EDUH I would have quit after the first few hours of gameplay.

[@EscapeePrisoner]

Agreed.

[@awildbee]

No joke.

[@iamdarudedude]

Youre so right, i feel so much more able to do anything with his guides at least

[@christopherkade7353]

You're a treasure to the community, you've contributed so much into making an overwhelming game into something more approachable :)

[@lionmentality4209]

This is sooo true 🤘

[@Zach-sx8cm]

Amen 🙏🏿

[@victor1102]

Can't agree more!

[@daviedawg3318]

Yea got into bartering and housing because of him now I need to update my gears lol 😂.. I love you stranger

[@TheReaper569]

i am still new i reached 50 in main, i would like to get an alt, i will mainly to PVE, needs to be fun to grind. And i always prefer scaling for late game, if a class is better in late game it wins for me, since leveling is always there, going for falling off classes would be bad idea for me. Which character can you guys reccomend me? My main was lahn, i tried witch over internet reccomendations but it was SO SLOWW i couldnt bare it. I am thinking of dark knight. People say it is harder to master but i might even switch and make this "alt" my new main. So any reccomendations?

[@Razorcandle]

I was so lost on this game and then a random player told me to start watching your guides and I’ve slowly been learning more and more about it. Thank you so much for all these guides, you make this game so much easier to understand. Keep up the great work!

[@TheJanstyler]

I swear PA should add a "Guide" Button to the game that links directly to your channel. Without your channel a big portion of the newbie population as well as returners would be lost. You are truly a treasure for the community. Thank you.

[@markray8641]

I just started playing this game & I swear iv watched you more then iv actually played. Thanks for all the info. I'm still lost :P

[@alexandermejicano6074]

Felt that 💯 well just the whole business thing

[@mostafakamal6291]

the only thing i can understand the accessory part LOL . but gear upgrade i cant under stand why i will spend allot of money on gear then buy another one this is to much

[@k2boy83]

heh what is hard for me is the silver. I am pretty new and those prices are making my head spin lol. I see streamers messing around with them and selling the pen ones for profit and stuff and I am like wow, only a long time left till I own one of those items.

[@Sealadis]

As a new and fresh BDO-player, I am so grateful for your guides, tips, and tricks. You turn something overwhelming and messy into something understandable and enjoyable. Thank you!

[@OmegaVenus]

Dude THANK YOU. I've been dying to find a decent guide on what to do. Now I just need to find a guide that tells me how to get this stuff without buying it cause like... it has to come from somewhere

[@Blackvelvetsnow]

I have been playing since the beginning and 12 characters later I'm still obsessed. The knowledge you share and the clear , understandable presentations have been the boost I have needed to help me take my game to another level. Thank you!

[@thecommenter9678]

This "Oasis Vendor" is not there, im not on a season character or server... so *Shrug* thats where i had to give up on this video. Clearly the NPC was moved or removed totally. Which sucks cause this channel is the only one that explains anything about this game in a remotely digestible fashion, thanks BTW for that your a great source of info.

[@ferrevolders3022]

This guy needs more subs man, straight to the point, all i need to know in one video. Thx man love from belgium

[@lionmentality4209]

Ook BE hier 😉

[@markonijovketus8988]

PA should give you free 10 000 pearls monthly just because you kept so many people in the game. Video is just what i needed! Thank youuuu

[@drummertb11]

You're the only bdo KZbinr that I'm subbed to. Your content gets to the point, has good pacing, and offers concise information that's easy to digest. I've been playing almost 2 months now, and your channel truly has helped me understand so much about this game. We all appreciate your content and effort. Thank you so much!!

[@wick4k592]

I barely started playing BDO last month and so far whenever I'm stuck on anything the first thing I think of "I bet Evil has a guide for this." Your videos has definitely helped me enjoy the game as far as I have because I would've given up on it more than once if it weren't for your guides.

[@zukariann2078]

Just started playing this on console and this guide has helped extraordinarily.

[@hasznoneother]

You are clearly a supernatural entity born from Black Desert with incredible in depth knowledge of the game I'm forever in awe by you sir!

[@Izurag]

A great guide as usual! Your beginner stuff sometimes goes beyond what I need to do after a year of play! Just a remark: Distortion earrings give a lot of AP, but REDUCE your DP, something bdo players know but a newcomer may not. So think twice about your desired build before investing in those particular accessories!

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Yes, I was just trying to make a generic build that people could follow all the way to end game based on the gear I see people using. I tried to stress at the start that the build will not be perfect for everyone!

[@MrGlennk121]

You are an absolute life/timesaver - I really appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos - I came back for the second time after trying BDO for a bit last year and after the akward early stages and finding your channel I've come to really like this game! Closing in on 56, getting my tome for extra quest xp soon etc. Thanks a bunch man, you've made my journey a lot less confusing - I'd recommended this channel to just about anyone who's somewhat or totally new to Black Desert :)

[@Leiohh]

You sir, make the best tutorials for BDO so far. I've watched countless one but most where rushed... but you my sir deliver your tutorials simple and clear. I discovered you through your Money making guide with the fishing one...

[@JoshTheFlyGuy]

Dude thank you so much! Whoever else was involved in pushing him to make this video ya'll the goat!

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Lot's of people on twitch xD

[@keeefins595]

“Valencia II questline is buns and will probably make you quit the game” I can’t think of anything more true.

[@wn785]

I quit the game for like months because of this

[@GepardoS666]

Why is it so hated? (Ive just entered valencia 1 quest line

[@button9]

@@GepardoS666 running back and forth across the desert, exchanging silver for bars of gold, which you run across the desert some more .... and then dig with shovels for stuff in the desert. Its actually a fun adventure with a friend ... but can be annoying and boring alone

[@HelloFellowMellowMarshmallow]

For those who are wondering, he's talking about months or YEARS of progression. Don't expect you'd be getting these in a week like I did when I went through this vid on my second day at the game hahaha.

[@StuckInDisregard]

wtf i just started yesterday too i'm scared af rn

[@GotdayumGaming]

This is the kind of video that I've been looking for because Im kind of stuck on what to do right now. Im fairly new, but not so new. This helps a lot on which way to go and what to think about! great vid bro!

[@alexandergott3409]

Thanks so much on this guide! BDO has always had a strange gear system compared to other mmos, so i have never really understood where to go, or what to buy, etc. and the amount of items involved in enchanting, caphras stone (?), valks cry, memory frags, all that stuff just makes the new player's brain explode.

[@jeffrey778]

i love your videos everything about them, the organization the editing the professional personality, with humor, the description additonal info.

[@warzshadow9701]

Thank you! I had zero clue what to do with my non season toons. They're leveled but just sitting. Not any more! You are a life saver. Hugs

[@stephenschroeder6567]

Another quality guide. I marvel at the love you show this game and its player base. You are one-of-a-kind.

[@shimatta6752]

Dude, you helped me alot playing BnS, and now you helping me with Black desert, you are a legend.

[@magicravioli7077]

Best guide going. Without this I don't think i would have made it.

[@psyberoneofchrist2310]

Thank you man for doing these guides :) congratz on the 100k!

[@willshepherd4544]

I don't care If I broke the soft cap with my gear, I would never shitpost you on reddit or anywhere else. Your vids are gold. Thank you @EvilDoUsHarm.

[@GaugDog69]

Your videos are awesome man. I’m new to BD. I’m playing through the story to upgrade right my naru gear right now and these videos are helping me not stay lost

[@Mr_Zx]

I'll shit post you with a single tear in my eye. You legit make great guides. You are like a cheat code for us console players. Thank you!

[@astablack8812]

Is this gear for console

[@Mr_Zx]

I believe so

[@TheStoneTheBuilderRefused]

U deserve tht 100k dont give up .i looked up theres like 11 million or so players who are active on black desert i dont doubt you'll get there man

[@XephyrMTG]

Thanks for this video! I just started playing the game last Thursday and your videos have been an absolute GODSEND. I knew going into the game that I wanted to fish and your fishing video was superb! Thank you so much for what you do! :D

[@hamzaibrahim9317]

I appreciate all the beginner-friendly guides you make. I started the winter season so late as a new player to bdo but your guide helped me so much. Thank you for the guides!

[@Icharion]

I haven't played since pre-striker. The client transfer sparked a renewed interest and I logged in to be completely overwhelmed. This is really making things make more sense. Now to decide between logging into my 56 witch or going for a new character

[@ghostfacekafka5152]

Thanks mate. Easily the best BDO channel for anyone looking to learn the game. Really appreciate all your videos.

[@s_ensei]

Cheers man, BDO is not the most noob-friendly game out there and your videos have saved me many, many hours.

[@liam4271]

Random guy in world chat said just to look you up on youtube and I'm glad I did.

I just started this game. Your videos are helping me a lot 💯

[@ramagoires9139]

Thanks this is the ultimate newbie guide, it will make things easier to explain rookies from SA.

[@seannakamoto7216]

Thank you for all of these guides. Its super concise and easy to follow! I started playing bdo 6 days ago, and your guides have helped me tremendously. Already made it to 61, following your guides. Anyway, I'll be looking forward to your future vids!

[@DarkwraithAbyssal]

Such a helpful video. Reached the Valencia section of the story and my gear was just outmatched. Much appreciated.

I did the PEN Capotia quest by following your vid last night, thanks a bunch man. Leveling cooking would have killed me if I didn't.

[@noxogott4747]

8:45 u killed me.Wish i saw this before... I started playing the game and had much fun than i came to this questline and I was so pissed

[@karenfox5004]

Thank you for always taking your time to put these guides out for us newbie players. These help so much when it comes to a game such as this when there are so many paths to take in the various activities.

Returning to the game, glad to watch your content again ❤

[@guinsoo7161]

Me: oh well, im completely new to the game, maybe he's gonna help me with the build and see how easy it is *Talks about bilions being used to purchase stuff when im barely managing to get up to 200m silver* Me: you what?

[@kumquatmagoo]

Progression doesn't come fast in this game :D save your pennies and worry about the big bits later

[@FDReiter]

when I was starting this game 1 month ago, I can make money up to 1B silvers in 4 days. I sold all my Memory Fragments, Cron Stones, Black Stones etc (I was dumb back then, don't follow my way)

[@2munir]

Youre the best BDO content creator and just so coherent. Appreciate the quality of videos too!

[@DazePhase]

I recently started playing BDO and find your guides very useful. Subbed! 🙂

[@242Invincible]

Wow ... what an awesomely good guide I will use this for sure thank's a lot bro. you're the best!

[@harkon6569]

So basically I can just ditch the Naru gear as soon as I get the Oasis Ramones gear on my first non-season char that I created 2 weeks ago....Otherwise, thanks a lot and big thumbs up for your guides. As a solo player, your channel helped me a lot figuring stuff out.

[@harkon6569]

Note to everyone looking to upgrade their Naru gear, Do Not discard the Cannon awakening weapon that you get from the awakening quest. That one's the Naru awakening weapon. You can discard every other Naru piece and buy them back from Fughar after you do the Mediah quest line and have enough begginer black stones to enhance them. But the Cannon weapon is obtainable only through the Awakening quest. If you discard it, you can only lvl up another char to 56 and do the Awakening quest again to get it. Btw, the Cannon awakening weapon does not require enhancing and can be exchanged for Narchillan awa weapon as soon as you get it. Hope this helps someone to not repeat my mistakes.

[@coolronz]

Just wanted to say you are my main goto guy for DBO! Awesome content! Keep em coming!

[@colson2919]

Thank you so much for making this! I just started and this is perfect. I was looking for a guide that was easy to follow and your video is the one. Thanks again!

[@CRUSSAD3]

Yes finally I started the game 3 days ago and all I have been doing is spamming R and right clicking mobs

[@sr3l22]

very relatable

[@bohdaicitta8974]

for anyone frustrated because they cannot "Exchange" Naru gear for Tuvala with Fughar, unequip your PEN Naru gear, open your "Equipment" panel (I) and look off the top left corner of the panel. a sword icon has appeared that opens a new panel to convert the PEN Naru to PRI Tuvala. Fuhgar is no longer a part of the process until you're completing his upgrade quests. this will likely change again in the future, it seems there have been about 3 diff ways to do this at least so far, maybe more

[@ShyndrythsConcepts]

if you are on a season server, do the velencia 2 questline as it rewards a skill xp book which will give you alot of free sp, it is not hard and takes 2 hours with a compass to do, if not then yeah skip it, skill exp past 1700 is slow and takes time to get more so doing this quest is a good boost. My first season I did not do the Vel 2 quest and ended on 1500 sp My second season I did do the Vel 2 quest and ended on 1700 sp Should be noted that was the main difference between my season 1 and 2, if you want to get into pvp or higher tier grinding you are gimping your self by not taking this free sp.

[@net.sprite]

Thanks for all the vids bro, making starting this game for me and my cuz so much more enjoyable

[@chadlife5573]

Nice guide man. Btw, also consider tha cm tax - if ever you're planning on switching from Dr(mid game) to Eva(somewhat end game). Reselling those items will have 0.84825 tax. If the item is at 5-10b ish, 0.84835 is a lot. That is why I always suggest to our newbies to know their class well them decide if they plan on going straight for Dr or Eva. So that they will not loss money because of the tax

[@EvilDoUsHarm]

Yes! I tried to stress that at the beginning of the video that this is just one of many build paths. But lot's of people wanted me to make a generic build guide... so it was tough and had to make some decisions.

[@Inojer]

DAMN good video! Thanks for your awesome work!

[@romarioclarkpinda]

they should put a section in bdo itself called evildousharm leveling guide etc.

[@jdogg3046]

Born again newb question: just back to playing again, trying to re-educate myself after a few years. Gear wise last time I played Grunil and asula was the rage (said its been awhile). All my gear is sitting on pri/duo. With this (new to me) season playstyle should I be continuing to level up my old grunil/asula gear or should I be working on a Nauru gear set? Should I sell my old gear?

[@RomasNoreika]

Thank you for you time and effort your BDO channel is zy best :) !

[@edge4192]

Although I def appreciate this as a new player I wish he would explain what PRY, DUO, TRY, TAT and PEN are. I have no idea if these are stats or acronyms or something else entirely.

[@neverhavingfun]

it doesnt matter, im a new player as well, but its simple I-II-III-IV-V, there is nothing more, higher enhancement level = better stats.

[@JustinCasualGaming]

very helpful, thank you

[@jeg812ify]

Idk if you will see this, but since this video was made would you recommend upgrading to Narchillan gear instead of Tuvula for a new player? I have seen some info online saying that Narchillan is a better route, but honestly there isn't that much info about it that I could find. Also, maybe you already have a video for this, if so I couldn't find it. It would be nice to see what recommendations you have for gear paths beyond Narchillan/Tuvula.

[@fl4vorslayer306]
