⚡️BDO Gear Progression Guide | Beginner to End Game ⚡️

[@w00dlette]

Congrats on getting this on the launcher, I'm a returning player who didn't get super far gearing my first time around and found this right on the launcher as I watched the game update, great guide man.

[@imPansy]

Haha thanks man. Hope it helped!

[@navygathure5084]

Thank you for your guide! I don't grind often so I'm always way behind with gear and you helped me understand all this gear journey for bdo players. I agree with you, having fun is the most important thing. And your guide is gonna help me with that because now I don't have the stress to find what to get anymore. Have a nice day everyone!

[@slashthedancingwalrus1510]

I know you have a lot of comments saying this already but I can't thank you enough for this guide. Really well laid out and informative. I've been playing for a long time but I take very long breaks so gearing has always been awkward for me. This video really helped me understand what I need to be focusing on at each point in the game. Thanks again!

[@imPansy]

Glad it helped, Slash!

[@Heimdarm2022]

You are the first youtuber who could create a guide that's actually makes sense and understandable for a brand new player. I was about to leave the game before I watched this video, now, I'm upgrading my first tuvala gear. Thank you very much!

[@JambalayaDrKelso]

I used garmoth pve damage calculator to get a 16% damage increase at orcs by spending 600m silver on crystals. Problem was that my accuracy was only 85% so getting some accuracy crystals was a huge boost in damage. Don't slack on your crystals guys.

[@paullescure2586]

This guide is immensely helpful. As returning player it has really helped me prioritse my BDO goals. Great format and easy to understand. Thank you.

I'm a console player, and heck, at 592 I may as well be a Tuvala Timmy. But this video helped a tonne, glad to see my crystal setup is apparently your endgame setup (minus the girin's). Now, if only they'd give us Mountain, because I don't want to wait 2 years for Ator Shoes 😬

Hey Pansy thanks for the guide, will probably have to watch it a few times as I am brand new to the game and don't know what most of the words you say mean😅. With that said I choose Lahn as my starting character ( I tend to stick with one char in mmo's and master it over time), is Lahn a good char in the game for both grinding and endgame content?

[@imPansy]

Hey, yeah Lahn is a solid class. I generally recommend picking the class which is most aesthetically pleasing and fun to play. Everything does well now days in grinding

[@Kalyptic]

@@imPansy Thank's I've only been playing for a few days and Lahn seems very fun, good aoe's and single target attacks, also she does look kinda hot and got those wide hips haha that's all I'm saying!😆

Quick question since every “gear progression” guide I’ve seen glosses over the narum gear, but I’ve been playing the main story for 2 hours and have hit lvl 21 which I believe is a third of the way through seasonal progression, and I have yet to get a single piece of narum gear

[@Seagullsensei]

Speaking of failing slumbering origin raw tapping to duo. I think my dahns gloves are cursed. I failed PRI 21 times in a row and DUO 10 times total. Silver lining is I made a few 120 and 160 stacks

[@KFCxXSpartanXx]

Yeah I feel you... I failed PRI 11 Times and one tapped duo... Meanwhile sitting at 40 Pen Godr Ayed clicks XD

[@mvwood55]

Just wondering if I'm missing something, at 3:50 you said to start Barrier of Infestation asap and then say that you can do almost everything in Pen Tuvala gear. But in the Elvia realm I am getting clapped with just that gear. I started here first cause you recommended it, but should this be put off or am I doing something wrong?

[@imPansy]

Barrier of infestation? Should be able to. Try using simple corn meal, beasts draught and khalks elixir for more pve tankiness

[@cplg2111usmc]

what if your not a seasonal character? i got into this game while a season was not an option then fell out and i was back and forth with this game as it was overwhelming at the time. well now i got back in for the last 3 months and all i hear is season this and that. finally got to level 61 and im still having some difficulty in trying to figure out if i have the correct gear or not...

[@imPansy]

You could get started gear from quests and get narchilian gear. Treat it like pen tuvala gear and start the progression guide from post season grumpygreen.cricket/narchillan-gear/

[@philipmorey308]

Unless you are one to just never ever ever life skill, probably better to take the life khan for your "free" one, imo. At least for now vells concentrated are sitting on the market so it's just a silver grind. With how they are making garm hearts easier, I imagine they will make getting a vell's easier in the future as well.

[@ipawn11]

i play awakening, got the tet great sword from the event. have a question, should i buy tet BS mainhand or just referom the kzarka main?

[@OxiCotton]

Me a dummy, not knowing the value of fail stacks, i used a 80FS and a 150FS to tap my Fallen God with only 2 fails. in my brain i only net lost like 60 memory frags worth of silver. I could not imagine dry buying a Duo Fallen God. 40B? Could not be me. 33:42 Anyways this guide is very helpful I'll be saving this and referring back to it while i progress thank you!

[@david662957]

How about the artifact? Very Great guide

[@imPansy]

Varies depending on class, grind spot and ap brackets. Kabua is the go to though generally

[@julianfrancis3046]

Yea right now im having such a hard time getting my shai geared up and also not sure if i want to keep going with shai because fully interested in maegu right now as well so may try that out. Right now im lv 61 shai going with evasion just not sure about best accessories to go with mainly

[@imPansy]

Definitely tag another class if you’re not happy with your progression pace. Shai shines in group grind and at Dehkia Cyclops. So it take a long while to get to that point. You can always swap back in the future when you’re higher up

[@worldboss-_-gaming5138]

[@Genggo1]

Thanks for the guide, learned a lot. I'm very confused about which PEN boss gear to pick from the free chest from the Magnus questline. I see people saying Red Nose because of fallen god but in this video and in many other places, people are saying Dim Tree. Could anyone explain this for me? It would be much appreciated :)

[@imPansy]

Hey man, absolutely. So the Dim tree and rednose differ in terms of how many Caphra stones it takes to level it up. Caphras level 10 on RED NOSE takes less caphras stones than on Dim Tree. Generally if you bought these items, you would compare the price on the market and factor in the price of crons. Since the magnus questline gives you a FREE one, you can just pick the rednose as it'll be easier to get to C10 and turn into a Fallen God Armor. Hope this helps!

[@Genggo1]

@@imPansy Ah I see, will go with Red Nose then. Thank you! :)

[@erelae_]

The thing is dim tree + caphras until fallen god is better than rednose

Is it even possible to finish Bartelli's book? I fishing in Velia for like a week, yet still can't catch golden tier fish for it.

[@GionSnow]

Crystal: Isnt' awakened spirits crystal (hp +150 AP+5) way better?

[@imPansy]

They share same slot as the rebellious spirit crystal which is better for pve. Rebellious gives 5 ap 5 monster ap and 175 hp. For PvP you can use red spirit crystal

[@gabmax1013]

Would you recommend TET narc over TET tungrad?

[@imPansy]

You'd want to do the math on the damage if it pulls ahead at kamasylvia spots. You can use garmoth.com's damage comparison.

[@SzumZz]

Visionary crystal of elkarr wouldn't be better than jin viper's? I mean jin gives all acc +20 and +1 attack/casting speed while visionary gives +20 acc and +10% ignore all res, attack/casting speed isn't useless? with cron meal u will still have +2 attack/casting speed and pen bs main wep give you +3 attack/casting speed so u will have ur max 5 attack/casting speed still and u will gain +20% ignore all res from visionary. Correct me if i'm wrong :P

[@empathyeg4616]

New player here where do i get all the upgrade mats for early game like cron stones to get pen gear or am i missing something?

Cron stones are from extracting costumes from cash shop, buying from npc for 3mil each, from dark rifts, world bosses etc which give marginal amounts

Youre probably not responding to this video anymore since its a few weeks old but im a returning player from 2020 and basically feel like i gotta start back from the beginning 😂 I am going to do a seasonal but im guessing the season ends soon? Is it okay to keep playing on one of my old characters until we get the next season to make sure im hitting pen tuvala

[@imPansy]

Hey! I answer all my comments if I see them :P Season was changed so it'll most likely be endless. Theyll just give us new season passes so we can make new season characters with the caveat that we can only have 1 season character at a time. Worst case it'll end Dec 31st. You can easily hit full pen tuvala before that!

[@catinashoe]

@imPansy ahhh I'd like that system better! I'm still hesitant to try but I'll think on it. Thanks for the speedy response man 😁 earned a sub

[@BhBraaq]

Aren’t Narc Earrings better for DP than Tungrad? What am I missing??

You really don't need to do narc's for DP in mid game. Pushing AP is usually the play

I'm both and still won't go for it. Besides the ator shoes that's all i have left to go for but it will never happen. It's simply the worst type of grind cause there's no alternative unlike everything else that you can grind or tap for an somewhat reasonable amount of silver. The cron change sealed the deal for me

How new player can buy TET black star?

[@imPansy]

Why would a new player need a TET blackstar? New player should get full pen Tuvala and finish seasons. After season, you're not a new player anymore, just a player. With full pen Tuvala you can make 500m-1b/hr depending on your skill, class and grind spot so buying a 15b item should be doable just fine.

[@aces8481]

@@imPansy everywhere I go I do not average 500m/hr what are some good spots with full pen tuvala?

[@imPansy]

A lot of places can make good money now. Even Gahaz bandit can net you 600m+ per hour. But you need to be optimized by using level 2 loot scroll, Agris, drop rate buffs and good consumables. So it depends if you're doing that or not. Also certain classes excel at certain spots over others. And lastly, player skill plays a factor. How quickly you dispatch the mobs and move pack to pack etc.@@aces8481

[@CerberusHD]

I like how you talk about crystals... But as a new player in early game I really wouldn't advise to invest into them, because what you show is like a few bill's of crystals and you die one you lose 500m... For you it might not be much, but for beginners it's a lot, and I for example never bothered to use crystals, so far I'm all good without them, and to casually have fun it's enough. I don't have to worry if I accidentally die, that I lose like 2 hours of grinding money. Early game just avoid crystals, you absolutely don't need them. The adventure log's have a lot of pain in the ass quests, so don't try too hard, you simply don't need it early game. Even in mid game you are pretty much good without crystals, you can start with adventure log and I feel like close to 280-300AP you can worry all you want about crystals.
