How to PvP (basic) and good bounties! (red player journey) BDO

[@mkisner8060]

I've only watched 2 or 3 videos so far, but I genuinely like that they both ended with you unable to kill your target. It shows that you aren't just cutting together all the stomps and making a highlight reel, but you're actually picking all the good fights, even those that are somewhat humbling.

[@Nephermoore]

You’re so humble and self aware. XD you’re feeding new players valueable information, you’re legit answering things I had to find out on my own and I’ve been teaching to my friends but to a wide audience. ^^

[@Blunderbustable]

Red life is so interesting to watch, and I'm really grateful that you're out here making quality content from that perspective. Makes me miss my days as a red player back at launch, but sadly my gear is too far behind now to go red again x)

[@tvbuu]

I went perma red recently it’s pretty intense

[@chrisduval1554]

Milk tea, 5 attack spd, movement spd, crit rate... Margoria seafood, Valencia Meal, night combat ration. Srendia for accuracy. Steel defense elixer, XP elixer, fury... personal preference. Level your health, eat high grade food. Carry a perfume of courage. Elixer of whale tendon to tuck tail and run. Alchemy stones, cheap out with the ones that have durability, grind up when depleted.

[@aallaaaa1]

i played this random video and minimised because i was busy. 1:16 he caught my attention and i had to go back to like and sub. this guy is sincere

[@caseyfessenden8990]

I love how this is red life but also wicked informational. appreciate it dude i learn something new every time i watch a vid of yours

[@Deadeye2907]

I have played absolutely zero BDO, but your videos are extremely entertaining. I love listening to your thought process during a fight, it's completely captivating!

[@Layvan]

Thank you so much! Glad you like it xD

[@bjornkrig3696]

Just love your vids. Started BDO recently as a Ninja and having a blast. Your vids are what I look forward to the most on KZbin (and twitch included). Your "life as a red Ninja" is golden. Never let go of it. And your fights, while analysing, so entertaining and educational. Last 1v2 was very interesting. I work (like a beast) grind BDO and now look forward to your vids!

[@Layvan]

Thank you!

[@slickr1ckking2003]

Love your content. When I’m having a pretty stressful day I just pop on your channel and watch your pvp. So relaxing lol

[@chrisd8180]

I play this on my Ps4 Pro instead of my PC, i never heard of BdO until it launched on PlayStation (No clue how) But after being a hardcore RpG mmo gamer since the Ultima Online, EQ and WoW days, i can say this......I Love Black Desert its the best current Mmo ATM. Thank you for this video

[@Layvan]

It is a great game!

[@amberams_]

Just browsing around some bdo videos and I'm bumped into yours Now I'm addicted.... halp

[@RyansToxic]

This is amazing content, I seriously enjoy everything you upload. You are slowly becoming my favorite BDO youtuber 100%

[@TeeJayMate]

I love watching your fights where they last forever and neither side wins...it's just cool that you sound like you're still having fun and clearly enjoy the sport of PvP lol

[@caeraakita7063]

That feeling when I stumble across you're channel randomly, and I see you were recording next to my AFK Body xD (I was the Witch, haha) I enjoy your vids though, I just returned to the game from a 2yr break and a lot of what you're putting out has been helpful!

[@taotapp]

Your videos are super fun to watch, dude. Keep up the good work. Good luck with 61.

[@Layvan]

Avoidant thank you!

[@xxRxIxKxSxx]

This video was super fun bro thanks for making it I have never seen horse jousting in BDO before I about spit my drink out when you knocked that witch off her horse. The red life is so interesting to see

[@Layvan]

hahaha I'm glad you liked it!

[@LittleBigChannel123]

i really like the "small" elixir / food guide. including tips in general so people can make up their mind what they want to use but also giving a recommendation so people that have no clue have proper guidelines. Really looking forward to a ninja-focused pvp guide if you plan to make one. props on the great taste of music ;)

[@Layvan]

thank you!

[@IcewindMaxie]

As an undergeared relativly new to pvp player your advice is great! Especially for someone that is pretty interested in getting into the pvp scene. Love the fact you are playing as a red player too, mega respect to ya for sticking with that! Please keep up the great work your videos are awesome! :D

[@Layvan]

Thank you!

[@ebbsson]

Holy 2 vids in a day PapaBless Keep em coming!

[@billyhoyle666]

nice, informative, and a ninja. keep it up man, you're great

[@Layvan]

Billy Hoyle thank you!

[@prosassoo6950]

lel from like minute 27 it got very interisting to watch feel like i was watching an anime and then how you end up running away, xD amazing vid man

[@spenceradamson6719]

amazing entertainment and all around good vids plz keep posting cause i know ill watch anything you make.

[@Errorless404]

My dude is pumping out them high quality videos. FeelsGoodMan

[@Layvan]

thanks bro!

[@MrLeRoY250]

i been playing the game for pretty long, Because of me being so conservative, after 1 year of gameplay and being afraid of doing anything with nodes and everything else, I only now got all my gear to Tri (and not even boss gear might I add) and am gonna push for TET soon. Ninja was my first character and it's still my main, even though I can't play the class well at the moment, you sir have motivated me to train pre-awakening/awakening combos together. I wish I could see your gear to at least have a header to what to look for. I'm amazed by the way you fight with your ninja, you make this class seem easier than it actually is. Well done, Shame you can't get the views and subs you deserve, Much love.

[@Layvan]

Leroy that meant a lot!! I will keep pushing out videos and doing all I can to help you guys!

[@-Maiki]

Sick vids man, very informative and you inspire me to level my ninja

[@SquamatoHD]

Also subbed now :) ninja gameplay is always fun to watch. Im level 61 working on my tet weapons now.

[@nemui_tora]

i just started this game and have no idea whats even happening. Videos where you over explain things is actually awesome. For me at least

[@Space922_]

Just found your channel, very entertaining to watch

[@Kel_____]

Lol i love your vids.....i dont even play the game....i plan to later on this year tho but your content is really good and your vibe seems really mellow and chill, keep it up 👌

[@Layvan]

Thanks a to and glad you like it!

[@Bravaden]

It's a Pure Bred!

[@LittleBigChannel123]

close to 2k subs, congratz. checking your channel everyday for the next video :)

[@ThisIsMyAlt0]

he sounds like such a kind guy!

[@Coliathtv]

Sending my friend who just started ninja this guide! Great Video!

[@Boons___1]

I love your pvp videos. You've inspired me to go back to BDO and level a Ninja for pvp :D

[@RickyBricky]

I had no idea that you weren't already 61. Surprised me. You can definitely get there pretty quick if you really set aside the time. I did the last 70% to 61 over like a week, and 30% of it in two days. Fogans with the Marni stones is nuts. This is RickTheDick from Lag BTW

[@Layvan]

Yeah, I REALLY need to get to 61 and hey man! xD

[@kiriksul5500]

Hey, I'm liking these types of videos. A suggestion I have is maybe consider having your input display visible on screen, (The mouse and buttons). It's kind of a giant UI element that can block a bit of the screen but if you can fit it in maybe in the corner it'd be cool to see whats exactly going on. Either way, nice videos.

[@Layvan]

I'll try that out!

[@RainbowSushiii]

21:40 the question is does she no dmg because she has no ap or because she just doesnt hit you xD dks normally are full ap and you have a ton of evasion in your dp gear

[@freepunk9479]

I dont even play BDO and i already watch all your vids. I am a huge "World PvP" lover in videogames...and your life in this game is so cool. I respect it and the roleplay :)

[@Layvan]

Thank you!

[@MrEleanc]

Yep me too. But the carebears our days just wont see it. There are 10% of the PvP players left in the community. People just dont see the fun in combat and challenge. I dont see fun in grinding mobs all the day. I want to fight people , free, in open world, not on some closed arena or GvG event, just not the same emotions.

[@MrEleanc]

PvE players got karma system , safezones, channels to switch to escape players , no death penalties in PvP , close spawns, untouchable mounts. PvP players got penalties, stone losing , gear losing , death xp penalties in PvP , stones loosing in PvP , item drop, untouchable guards, anyone can attack you in safezone while you cant do a thing. You also cannot farm world bosses on your negative karma character . Everyone would kill you. Very fairly balance for people who just want to play the game.

[@MrEleanc]

Ah yeah I forgot a thing if you flag on someone he doesnt need to flag too to attack you, and if he kill you he dont get less karma, also there are planty of trolls who flag attack you and if they dont succeed they run & unflag.

[@martinbenfeldt1082]

This might be a stupid question, but how does this bounty system work? I couldn't find anything online

[@Layvan]

It is completely player driven, so not a stupid question at all. People give me names of someone they want dead and pay me in food :p pearls if it is a special occasion.

[@martinbenfeldt1082]

Ahh, i see. Thank you! It sounds pretty awersome to be honest. Btw, really enjoy your content

[@jasongraham3453]

How do I contact you for a bountie? Next time some deuchenugget kills my afk horse trainer 😂

[@sdero499]

This was the video that made me want to PVP in BDO.

[@kevne6785]

generally enjoying r vids bro, keep it up!

[@OverlordDurash]

That DK (21:54) was probably lower geared/leveled w/ a saiyer build. It gives a pretty decent chunk of DP.

[@andrewalexr]

Keep up the content, close to 1k subs!

[@calebcyr5804]

Bro u just said ur boring dude not ur honestly sick and convincing me to try this game

[@calebcyr5804]

Ur explaining like no one else does

[@jayfatal5050]

Love your videos please keep more coming

[@lolcatzat301]

Hey man loving the content, would you consider making a brief video on gear progression for ninja? I looked at other sources online but they are all several months old and I'm not too sure whether the information is still accurate or not. If not then no worries, keep up the good work! :)

[@Layvan]

I will soon, and thank you!

[@YoutobeFreak13]

You hunting that Witch at 24:44 made my really frustrated cause of pure breds poor break haha

[@Layvan]

seriously xD

[@plateusigmaband4912]

hey man i saw ur strenght is still at lvl 1 is it worth to lvl it with weight and walk circles at the nighttime or just buy it of the cash shop

[@Layvan]

Just buy it IMO. I have way better things

[@Layvan]

better things to do afk*

[@kison3609]

Does movement speed really affect your break free time from a cc?

[@Layvan]

No, that has bee disproved to my knowledge

[@ashryver3605]

Are khalks and courage the same with the offensive utility and defensive categories for elixirs? As in you can eat khalk and courage at the same time? Also do you lost all potion buffs when you die? Do alchemy stone/the high price elixirs AP stack with elixir/food AP/Attack right? Like if you pop Courage when you already have Fury, I assume it overrites. If you use +5 alch stone, is that separate too? Sorry for the questions

[@Layvan]

elixers overwrite each other, alch stones are their own buff and stack with everything, perfume is more offensive and khalks is more defensive, but I'm PRETTY sure you can't use them both at the same time. 90% and only elixers die when you die. No problem, I'm here to help and answer as much as I can!

[@Seconai]

Can you help me what I need for Ranger or Maewha . (Buffood) That with the Milk I do all the time

[@Layvan]

Just go cron

[@alexportugal3986]

hey bro, whats that costume u are using? Looks dope

[@EzraBostic]

Is there a bounty hunting discord?

[@renrenx513]

Hey awesome vids man!! Just started playing ninja, what gem would you recommend to put in my gloves and helmet?

[@Layvan]

Darrien Galinato I will make a more in depth guide on crystals, but I suggest agility in your helm and whatever gets your att/casting speed to 5 in gloves. If you already have 5 of that then move to crit.

[@zhoustanley7]

I've been watching all ur videos and u making me really wanna re roll to ninjaaa

[@nicolaibalns1652]

You are a good player thanks for the video :)

[@crunchied8]

What class do you find the hardest i would say ranger

[@Layvan]

ummmm, That's a good question. Ranger is a good answer honestly.

[@crunchied8]

Layvan can you tell the diffence in a good ranger or bad ranger

[@samuelm.9814]

Insightful and impressive

[@Mekose]

Do you think a Striker would be a good perma red character? It seems like ninja affords you a lot of options. but im maining Striker

[@Layvan]

Doing strikers mobility moves and move speed buffs they can keep up with a maewah. I'd practice escapes and keep all your move speed buffs up and yes, it's very viable.

[@Mekose]

Wow! Thanks for the quick reply! I definitely enjoy the class (though mystic is tempting too). You make a good point with how fast Martial Spirit and dashes can get you, you can outrun every other class, even though striker can feel a bit clunky and heavy sometimes. I hope to be able to play the game like you one day soon. Big inspiration with your tact, skill, and respect.

[@abesantos6824]

How do you change gear without opening the inventory? and what's that you have on your 1 slot?

[@KryXOXO]

Hey man, loving the videos! I main sorceress (frankly new to the game), do you think sorceress is great for end game and pvp? Lvl 45 sorceress

[@Vocuhhhloid]

Sorcs only "need a buff" because it's arguably the hardest class for both pvp and pve requiring cancels to be decently effective and most of the population NA especially lack the skill to play it properly so they cry for buffs instead of learning the class

[@KryXOXO]

Layvan okay I’m back lvl 56 sorc and I have a lvl 50 musa, loving the game and sorc atm :D

[@soulris1046]

How do you "generate" your "list" of bounties? I was actually thinking of starting something like this soon~

[@Layvan]

Mycket Ont players or public lists.

[@soulris1046]

My IGN is Karmes brotha, I have some further questions if you have time! ^^

[@ctrs8340]

Where do u get the "bounty" from ? who is giving it to u ? and how is he contacting u ?

[@Layvan]

he/she can DM (direct message) me someone they want dead and usually through discord. Anyone can submit one

[@ctrs8340]

Cool =)

[@ElevendyWOT]

Is all this advice in terms of the food still applicable after two year or is there a new meta out?

[@Layvan]

New meta and video soon

[@ElevendyWOT]

@@Layvan Oh thank God and can't wait. :D

[@lilbob1410]

What is better Tamer,Ranger,Sorc,DK? I feel like i have more clear speed with Dk, Sorcs is fun but not very rewarding for the effort, Tamer i heard is bugged take more 30%magic dmg, Ranger is this class still played?

[@Layvan]

Tamer is the scariest 1v1 class. Anyone who says different has never fought a good tamer. (no offense). Ranger is getting a large buff soon so she will be flavor of the month soon and very good and still is vary viable. Sorc just needs slightly tweaked to stay in t he meta, but by no means are they a bad class, just like you said not AS rewarding as other classes for effort. DK is a absolutle monster at grinding. Grind speeds rival or tie a wizard no contest and as long as you're good at stanima managment, you pretty much have unlimited SA with peppered in s with crazy dmg.

[@akaru9532]

Unfortunately you can only count the amount of good tamers on two hands. She has a super high skill curve and ceiling for a relatively low payoff. Many of us agree that she has many groundbreaking issues that PA/Kakao just refuses to fix; one peek in the tamer forum or discord can show you just how gimped we've been (especially with the last patch, yet ANOTHER visual bug fix and no actual changes to our skills). Good tamers yes will absolutely dominate you, but at that point they know the 1v1 matchups down to the last line of code, which is to say it's not really the class that beat you, but the player.

[@vipnguyen1]

Your contents are great, keep it up (:

[@Coolzombiesg]

It would be awesome to see a money how you make your money processsing! Glad you fixed your voice volume too!

[@forsaken8382]

What is strongest classes to stand against ninja and sorc?

[@jellybean6902]

What do you think about ranger for PvP?

[@Layvan]

The yare about to get buffed and they are already pretty solid

[@schmolzz]

love the vids man!

[@tomcollins8367]

what is your gear at? What do you recommend for going red? I left BDO a while ago, but this going red makes me want to get back into it

[@Layvan]

I'll be making a gear video soon, but it's nothing special.

[@ericburrus2688]

What is your gear? I might have missed it, but you almost mentioned you had different sets also?

[@Layvan]

going to be making a video on it

[@gustavoernandes4335]

Does my items downgrade if I die with negative karma?

[@SoukenIDK]

gustavo ernandes as much as i know only if you to PvE or a DoT kills you from a player. (Last one only if he puts dots on you and doesnt touch you for a while)

[@Charlie-lp1un]

U got any pvp tips for a zerker?

[@Layvan]

A good zerker is scary AF. I suggest hopping into the zerker discord! You could learn a lot there. Be aggressive and abuse those self-heals.

[@PreyK7]

What is v'd(veed)? New player on xbox

[@laflam7454]

It’s like an emergency escape, your press V and your goes invisible to other players

[@Friday_13th_on_elmstreet]

dude you are my favorite youtuber and first i played ninja too but i rerolled him. i dont know how he is now. do you think its a good choise to reroll to ninja again? how i see you are playing full dr and eva, cuz you make less of dmg, is it right? ^^ i would be happy when you can answer me cuz of ninja ^^

[@Layvan]

It's not a BAD class, just not loved by the developers very much to fix the things that are broken or not awesome about it. I suggest playing a class you love playing regardless of an outcome.

[@gg12345ification]

Guys i need help! ive been looking alot at black desert online recently becouse of the pvp part, i come from a world of warcraft background but i feel its time to switch it up to a new mmorpg, my first question is, How much time a week to have i usally have to put in to stay on top when it comes to everything for pvp? my second question is how high level is the pvp in this game becouse im a hardcore player , i play to be the best and id like a hard challenge, if you are familiar with world of warcraft im currently gladiator rating witch is pretty high level(im not braging) and im wondering is the skillcap high in this game? and is it a ranking system or a good reward system for being a good pvp player? so to sum ut up im looking for a game that will challenge me to be the best pvp player i can be! is this a good game for me?

[@Layvan]

This game is endless in every aspect. Lifeskills, PvP, grinding, and more. To be the best you need to be on this game 24/7 (including afk time). The cool thing about it, is you can get there fast with the right mindset, good luck, and hard work. Pick up the game and I think you'll love it. Ask questions, keep your vision wide and you will do great things.

[@gg12345ification]

Sounds good to me, just fixed so i can do most of my work from home so being online almost all the time will be no problem, one more question i have is how is the pvp before hiting max level, like ive heard its a long grind from around 55-60 but while i put in those hours of grind will i beable to do any pvp or will i be to weak to even try?But other then that i think im going to give this game ago, both the pvp and the scenery looks beautiful! But thanks alot for answering will def give you a sub, keep up the content!

[@nicorohrssen7056]

gg12345ification first of there is no max lvl just a softcap at lvl 61-62 but this does not make a big diffrence in pvp i would say and second i think you will be to weak at 55 to pvp but you will need a lot of training before you can even compare with the big guys hope you will like it

[@manpanda7163]

I know this is an old vid but do you have or are you going to make an update for the new players on Xbox when it comes out

[@PhILiPpoO100]

Hey man, are u streaming? Would be so nice!!!

[@adelbayu]

Hi Layvan, can you share the idea on skill addons?

[@nolightgaming7748]

What costume is that?

[@dreamstate9680]

can you please make a guide on skills/combo/initiation etc

[@jaka92]

First time to ever comment a youtube video! First of all, awesome videos, thanks :) keep up the good work! Secondly, I am a ranger.. i'll try pvping but im afraid i'm not a good class for pvp :/ are they any good? I'm pretty new to the game..

[@Layvan]

very good, it all just takes time and practice. Rangers are also going to get buffed soon.

[@jaka92]

Wow thanks for the quick reply! Hey that's good to know ^^ thanks a lot :) again, keep up the good work man, you're awesome!

[@hweekeong2746]

I love your videos!

[@ferradar]

How did you instantly change your gear from dp to ap???

[@Layvan]

a gear bag

[@ferradar]

Layvan wow how do i get one of those? I want it too

[@Layvan]

Ferradar its a pearl shop item sadly.

[@gedanggodog8693]

what did you get for kill people? im new in this game, and i want to go red life. can you show me the benefits? sorry im bad at english.

[@claireastral4429]

You pretty much omitted the most important part ;p. Gear, if you don't have minimum full boss tri and (at least)300 dp in my opinion you should never go perma red, too many players would be able to pancake you whenever they please otherwise. Going the tank/gorilla route is also better over full ap, tet red coral rings(maybe 300mil to make from scratch each or less if lucky) etc Oh yeah, you can also make spirit essence of water (polly forest mobs) for 100+ hp and hp experience, the cooldown for this item is independent of food item cooldowns so its good to have this in your food rotation. Good vids.

[@Layvan]

Claire Astral good information for a more advanced guide!

[@RiceLightning]

Hazard sends their regards.

[@Layvan]

RiceLightning oh cool, fun and good fight the other day.

[@sneakykiller900]

whats ur dp gear look like?

[@MarketingTalkCafe]

[@yeejkoo7927]

Awesome video!

[@klegglegg7375]

[@Layvan]

[@Jayden-mw7nc]

[@vandyniyomkham5032]

[@Chr1sT0fu]

What's your gear like?

[@locket9160]

[@danielorosco78]
