All classes, with the exception of Wizard and Witch, have awakened! Spellcasters, uncover your latent power on Dec 21st!
>What is BDO? Black Desert Online is an MMORPG by Pearl Abyss, most recently released for Western audiences. It features action-oriented combat, open world PvP territory control, player housing, unlimited levels of grinding, and more.
>Is it P2W? Lots of paid convenience features; and some cash shop items, such as most outfits (!), are able to be sold to other players on the marketplace, but maximum price caps and weekly selling limits of cash shop items restrict profit. One CANNOT P2W over a dedicated player.
>NewFAQs If you don't know if the game is "worth it," get a guest pass. All classes can be viable and fun. Ask something more specific. Weapon: Kaia, or BUY a +15 Yuria -> Liverto -> Kzarka Armor: Grunil -> Boss armor For everyone's sake, read the links, Google it, and Ctrl+F, BEFORE asking the same stupid question other people previously have in the same thread. Don't be surprised if the thread is dead occasionally, it happens more often than you'd think. Thiccposters on suicide watch.
>horse fucker >no pictures of it happening Don't false advertise.

This ultimate armor reform stone that I got from the calendar. How do I use it? I'd rather use it.
Can it take my green grunil armor up the yellow ultimate version? That's what it's for, right?
If I do, does it stay upgraded? I have the chest piece to +10, which is the piece I'd want to upgrade. Would it stay +10 while being upgraded to ultimate?
Lincoln Parker
This might be a lot to ask, but could you make a mini guide on witch mounted combat? like what kind of horse you need and what skills to use? I'm right like 0.5% away from lvl 56 just waiting for awakening, and I heard their biggest flaw is the low mobility, I liked the idea of mounted combat a lot to overcome this problem but I don't seem to find a guide for it.
Noah Brown
It'll stay +10, all it does is give the armor an extra 5 DP.
Benjamin Evans
Ok, thank you. And no, the ultimate version gives +2 DR against all types of damage as well as increased DP. I just wasn't sure if the +10 would stay.

what music do you guys listen to while grinding? I've just hit a wall where I guess the grinding in the game kicks in @ Khuruto Caves
Jaxon Moore
I actually listen to some more metal-y things during mindless grinding. Well think KSE or Scar Symmetry. Love having things like them on with the game sounds.
Cooper James
I don't really listen to music. Mostly streams or similiar podcast like stuff. Been listening to TedX for a while.
I turn everything off, all I listen to is my tinitus
Jeremiah Moore
Eurobeat, makes me go fast.
Lucas Jenkins
How does PvP work in this game? Is it just:
>Hit level 45 >Good luck going anywhere without being ganked
Or do people not really kill others without warning?
Matthew Evans
Most of the PKers lurk around grinding spots. There isn't a huge chance you'll get randomly shot down by someone, but do keep in mind: Assholes exist everywhere.
Ryan Kelly
It changed to 50 somewhere recent. Anyway, from my experience it's not all that bad. There are people that may harrass you on popular grind spots, whether you were already there or not.
But it's not a huge problem in general. But again, that's from my own experience.
Jaxon Rogers
there's pretty annoying pentalty for killing people
People don't waste their pvp resource killing random people, but ocne you step into their farm spot they'll probably kill you.
What you do is this, discover the nearest node, go to their farm spot, get killed, resurrect near their farm spot and go suicide against them again, repeat this over and over until they go red, stop killing you, or they change channels, then you can farm their spot. That's pretty much the only world pvp you'll see.
Robert Rodriguez
i got a +15 ultimate grunil helmet now

Camden Rodriguez
what's your upgrade routine?
I often feel like I'm wasting stones, and should be building cheap failstacks somehow but I don't. Once I've spent more failing than what I would have spent just force upgrading I stop because I feel dumb, and my guild told me force upgrading is ALWAYS bad... so I don't know what I'm doing fucking wrong...
did you also upgrade the quality to ultimate? or did you start with an ultimate? because I don't know how to upgrade rarity, or if it's worth trying when I only have shit workers and not min maxed artisans.
Carter Morris
Just know this, in PvP your horses HP will melt fast in any sustained combat - even with BiS +10 enhanced gear and a tier 8. Sometimes you're better off dismounting and fighting, too. Either way PvP cavalry has to be hit and run unless you can control the opposition with well timed binds, stuns, and knockdowns. It'll be tough for your opponents to knock you off your horse, but I still keep my knockdown resist up.You'll want a horse with high turn rate with Charge, Drift, and Instant Accel combo skills to keep you away from your enemies striking distance but within your own spells striking distance. On top of all that you've got to manage your limited spell rotation, their cooldowns, and the new key combos interwoven between actually keeping your mount moving. Again sometimes that's simply not realistic and you'll be better off dismounting. It's extremely satisfying when you can literally run circles around your enemies, though.
PvE is straight forward as fuck. Sideways step with your spell rotation unless you don't care about efficiency or the mobs are actually dangerous. Those elite bandits in Valencia will fuck your horse sideways if you don't keep moving. Prioritize ranged mobs if you want your horse to last longer. A bunch of high tier pets and a good horse makes grinding supreme easy mode considering weight limit becomes meaningless. You will be chugging mana pots and carrots though.

I'm going to get that ass.
Benjamin Scott
I realize I've been playing this game for over a month. I have several characters at level 50+ and I still understand jack shit about the combat.
John Jenkins
>hit cc >do damage >combo with another cc if available >do damage >create distance >repeat
Ayden Wood
That's normal.

-pvp power rankings- 1. Musa (Becomes really easy to play after awakening, insane midrange damage with mediocre, but easy stuns and insane survivability/mobility) 2. Berserker (Ridiculous survivability with HP pool, ridiculous single target CC with grab chains, and good burst) 3. Warrior (High survivability with blocks and mobile, crazy close combat burst with greatsword) 4. Maehwa (Tankier then musa, but harder to play requireing a bit more timing, more cc then Musa but still crazy close range burst potential) 5. Ranger (Spam a single skill to kill stuff, fun times. Really mobile and really high close range damage and good long range poke) 6. Kunoichi (Fast, good damage, best CC in the game with awakening) 7. Sorc (The mighty have fallen with mediah/valencia. Abilities started to get balanced. Lots of utility spells for group combat and some good burst. Very mobile) 8. Ninja (RULES OF NATURE, 5 swords for a single target. Probably highest single target burst in the game) 9. Tamer (Pet can be annoying, Roaring sucks people in. Lots of long CC abilities but make you a sitting duck) 10. Witch/wiz (Crazy aoe burst and CC but prone to CC themselves, especially stiffness kills this class. Requires some serious timing skills) 11. Valk (Wow stop playing anytime)
>ranger below maehwa and musa you have no idea what you're talking about, there's a reason why half the "competitive" players in this game are rangers
Jace Flores
Goddamnit and I've been maining a valk all this time
Camden Hall
Thanks for the lewd album. I'm going to come to you for some ERP.
Julian Jones
...
Cooper Collins
Same. Lucky for me I don't care much about PvP
Grayson Turner
Because its a really easy braindead class to play that excels in guild v guild and grinding?
I'd recommend anyone who has the discipline and power to fight the boredom playing this shit class to main one asap as their first character just for grinding because it is absolute beast in that, but there hasn't been a single tournament where ranger has actually been high up the rankins.
Being able to spam 2 skills with the cover of a group does not make this class nr1 in a global pvp power ranking list
Adrian Sanders
rangers are ridiculously easy to beat in 1v1
Cooper Green
Just play whatever you want really, everything is in the end fueled by your ability to make the most of the class and gear is a huge factor in anything really.
The only big powergap is between 3 and 4.
Tanky classes still have their use in group/guild pvp as covers
Andrew Sanchez
I just really love cute sweaters user. Honestly I wish the snowflakes weren't there so it could pass as just a regular sweater, males are lucky that they didn't get snowflakes, but obviously theirs is too christmassy to just be a sweater.
Kevin Mitchell
Nope. For group PvP it's Top tier - Ranger, Zerker, Warrior Good tier - Sorc, Musa, Witch Bad tier - Kuno Trash tier - Tamer, Valk, Maehwa, Ninja
For 1v1 it's Top tier - Ranger, Sorc Good tier - Zerker, Tamer, Maehwa Bad tier - Warrior, Musa, Ninja Trash tier - Valk, Witch
Ayden Hill
i'd personally switch musa/berserker and sorc/ranger but otherwise pretty accurate
Jaxson Wood
This is closer to truth.
Dylan Murphy
>warrior >bad in 1v1 Good joke
Hudson Nelson
They've been one of the concensus strongest 1v1 classes since their awakenings got released.
Josiah Kelly
Haha look at him, look at his level 40 character and laugh
did you get this list from the BDO forums or something?
Asher Ward
then explain to me why rangers with 50 more ap than me can't beat me in 1v1?
Nolan Ortiz
>It's a guy with shitty gear tries to tell other people what classes are OP episode.
Carson Lewis
nobody cares about your shitty personal anecdotes you little cuck
Luis Turner
come fight me you nerds
Evan Baker
Rangers will always be top tier in BDO because they spend the most in the cash shop
$100 conq pack, $600 in pearls (so far), and like $30-$50 during the black friday web sales, with $23 being the Kibelus Set A a few days ago from Christmas sales
I had set a on my ranger, maewha, but wanted one on my Kunoichi
Kayden Howard
you guys are fuckin pathetic wtf
Dylan Cook
$60 on black friday. Plan on buying underwear, earrings, and onepetfrom the christmas sale too, fuck me.
Owen Thompson
>You spend money on something you enjoy, you're pathetic. user please, if we can afford it let us be.
Julian Nguyen
yeahh I got banned for something like that a week or so ago. well it wasn't from the back but no lips or anything. bad draws happen
Alexander Sullivan
I've seen some posts in this thread about world-pvp and I want your honest opinon about it. I mainly care for the pvp aspect of an MMO and outside is where I got most of my fun doing it in general.
Can someone TL;DR me a lil bit? Are there a lot of "known" areas to world-pvp/gank people? What are the downsides of killing a low-level player? Is there a complete stealth class? I've played a bit of Kuno and it was only around 12secs of invisibility, does it get longer/better?
Caleb Cruz
There's essentially no open world pvp in this game. You can't attack low level players at all. If you kill a high level player, they immediately respawn without losing anything.
Brandon Rodriguez
Around 80 euro because I bought a pet through a friend during the sale that happened at release. Never should've, though.
Ethan Thomas
Do you even upload you creep images on imgur? Just why?
