Riding you...Glad you got over your initial hurdle.<br /><br />Riding your horse everywhere at the start isn't that great an idea. It's better to run. Here's why:<br /><br />You have three attributes, stamina, strength and health. Press 'p' to open the character screen to see them.<br /><br />You raise health by eating food. More health gives you more hit points. It is the only way to raise it. Hit points can also effect how much damage you can do. So start cooking and always have a bunch of food with you. I use milk tea as it gives you 8% xp bonus.<br /><br />You raise stamina by running. This doesn't increase your stamina bar but it effects how quickly you use it up. I got to level 30 stamina before I started using my horse.<br /><br />You raise strength by carrying heavy loads. This effects your weight limit. I haven't bothered with this but you can put your character on an auto-loop walk trail with a pack on its back while you're not playing.<br /><br />Lastly, pets are there for auto-pickup for you. I think you can get one pet from a quest, (I know you can get a donkey in Velia but that is for trade), the rest you will need to purchase from the store. You will need three pets so as to not miss any drops later on. You do not have time to pick up yourself due to mobs respawning and bodies going away quickly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-78278654351030874412016-05-04T17:38:00.240+02:002016-05-04T17:38:00.240+02:00One more thing you need to do - fill out your char...One more thing you need to do - fill out your character slots. This game loves alts. Energy Points (used for crafting) are regenerated for each character individually, while they share the same maximum. So, if your main has a max of 50 EP, a brand new character also has that 50 EP. EP regenerates 1 point per 3 minutes (or two if you AFK in a bed), and at 1 point per 30 minutes offline, so any alt is fully recharged on a daily basis. You can also regen EPs with quests.<br /><br />Alts share your warehouse space and contribution point network (as well as stabled horses or docked boats), so you can park them in various cities to help with production. Also, bonus inventory space.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-65283375238828700902016-05-04T17:13:34.310+02:002016-05-04T17:13:34.310+02:00@Destabilizator

Tooltips are a mess, but in what game you will get the full explanation of the implemented system?<br /><br />for example a witch/wizard could start with chain lightning and use the follow up lightning storm. if you would dodge in between or use another skill like fireball the combat system locks you out of activating the followup skill lightning storm. But you can via quickslot, therefor for at least witches/wizards it is healthy to endup with some skills in quickslots and use them situationaly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-33432563414763538692016-05-04T11:17:55.334+02:002016-05-04T11:17:55.334+02:00I think Destabilizator is trying to insult you by ...I think Destabilizator is trying to insult you by calling you a noob.<br /><br />He must be new here.Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-55350359772704920682016-05-04T11:00:00.868+02:002016-05-04T11:00:00.868+02:00@Destabilizator: the options are "toolbar wit...@Destabilizator: the options are "toolbar with whatever penalty" and "not playing".

Though. not you western wow-tainted standard.<br /><br />I grinded my Templar in Aion 1.5 from 35-36 over a week. you had the XP bar split into 20 bubbles it took a good amount of time to fill one bubble. level cap was 50. and the XP drought was ahead on level 44+. It was my fault! I should have researched more. knowing healing classes from other games like star wars galaxies or lineage and Co I should have been playing a cleric. witch in hindsight would have been a smooth and pleasant gaming experience.<br />same for you, for what ever reason you took a valkyrie! bound to have the absolute horror experience in ever.<br /><br />Took my witch to 50 in 15 hours over 4 days. I'm filthy casual with work so only had 3-4 hours at the evening. only did black spirit quests and some inventory expansion quests. I grinded purple or deep red mobs.<br />Now standing at helms with 50 barley enchanted gear on my way to 51!<br /><br />This is your first korean mmo. heavily westernised, meaning, they buffed XP for us whiners tremendously. you will never stop leveling! you hit softcaps on 50, 55 and 60 after that XP will be gradually very slow.

It's there so that the more skilled players are rewarded for mastering their combos etc.<br /><br />2. For money, you main source early on is the mob drop collectibles. Some drops at their tooltip indicate that you canexchange X amount to an NPC for cash, the money is usually quite good. Right click on the item to set a waypoint to the 'vendor'.<br /><br />3. Ignore the people saying that the Treat suit is mandatory, PvP starts at 45 and if you are not doing something terribly obnoxious to piss people off, you will most likely be left alone. This changes if you get into a guild with lots of wars, in which case you are just another target. Think of the current system as High-sec; you can get ganked depending on the circumstances, and wardecs are the main pvp source.Tithianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17567723372347346654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-59167438958105781122016-05-04T08:44:41.871+02:002016-05-04T08:44:41.871+02:00Best way to make money at low levels is get a fish...Best way to make money at low levels is get a fishing rod and swim out to the fishing flotilla in the hotspot then proceed to afk fish.

That said, grinding *is* the fastest way to increase your level - but then you'll be short of energy (comes mostly from exploring and talking to NPCs to complete collections) and contribution points (come from quests, especially life - AKA crafting - quests).<br /><br />Energy and contribution points don't matter *that* much if you only want to max level and pvp (although even then: connect your grind nodes with contribution points to a city; and dump all your energy into improving the node). If you want any sort of life skill, however - escept perhaps fishing - you'll want energy and contribution points; thus you'll want to do something other than 'efficiently grinding your [combat] level'.<br /><br />Welcome to Black Desert!seanashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04838144101254951127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-73885192208640315602016-05-04T08:13:50.573+02:002016-05-04T08:13:50.573+02:00Honestly, you've struck me as pro in EVE, but ...Honestly, you've struck me as pro in EVE, but in BDO, reading your posts, you are like a clueless toddler (no offense). Do you really think, that in combo-combat game, you can compete with putting skills on hotbar? You better get rid of it immediatelly, because:<br /><br />1) Any skill you use from hotbar has increased resource cost and lower damage (price for ezmode)<br />2) Many skills can be chained or animation canceled or do even something completely different (eg. zerker's Back Suplex or Baby Spin)<br /><br />Mobs quickly re-pop only in lowbie areas (they turned on the fast respawn for launch and blader release, then turned it off).<br />Wasting CP on nodes where you grind is useless, you need to get the node with CP and then invest Energy to lvl it up, only then it does something. Using CP "for industry later" is stupid, you need to use it asap and send your workers to nodes with rare drops, because you'll need ton of it later for buff pots.<br /> is only one type of rare mobs (you can have , etc.), it is very advisable to kill them as they have higher chance of relic/blackstone drop and always drop a bit of coin and turnable items. You should turn-in the items, rather than just selling them to vendor (right-click the item in inventory, select NPC Location, it will point you to nearest dude who takes it).<br /><br />Hit me up on discord.me/bdo (it has even web client) if you have some questionsDestabilizatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07618175514930441531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-71455460189553683242016-05-04T06:27:01.312+02:002016-05-04T06:27:01.312+02:00The pvp starts at 45 not 25.

Thus why you want a hidden name plate>>> ghille p2w costume.<br /><br /> Still don't intend to to go do BDO, but I'll follow along. Be interesting to see how you handle the end game which seems to consist of large clan pvp (social friendship best ship) ganking for kicks (code) or mindless mob grinding and agressively pvping to defend "your" little corner.
