Im a new player and have been watching quite a few "bdo guides for beginners" but i think yours is by far the clearest and dont overwhelm with information that we dont need to know yet. It helps alot to understand better and it does not have gap where "ok once u have ur pen tuvala" into "ok once u have 270ap" out of nowhere. Great vid man.
Couldn't agree more with this, also brand new. Thanks for the step by step this was super helpful. Also the items my God I think that was the most frustrating for me at the very beginning
Dude your guide is the best , ngl this game have a lot to it and it’s hard to get started. Great job in the vid I hit 56 in 3 days and upgraded gear etc got all my stuff thank you
havent played since 2018 and so much has changed, just trying to get back into but i am so lost. dont remember what to do with worker and so on. this have helped me get the basics back thank you so much. great video!!
Amazing video, thank you! This is SO much easier to understand than any other BDO vid I've seen so far. This game is super overwhelming to start with, I appreciate the help!
This video is for beginners. BDO is garbage are making intuitive systems and even worse at explaining those systems. Let us beginners figure out the “easy” stuff first
I did Valencia on my first char, on Corsair when she first dropped. Had no idea what I was getting into. Went to the desert and nearly died. Thats because the questline hadn't popped. In the end I found an alternative route, along the coast where you don't have to deal with the desert. - What a trip though. The Valencia quests, when you can get the initial tuts are really good. Its one of the better lore arcs in the game. Unbelievable finale!
Now a days it easy to get your hands on a compass so Valencia isn't as challenging as compared to before when you have to rely on your pet or estimate the distance and direction when crossing the desert
@@hamiltonnightwalker9334 IIRC there was a period before Compasses & Camels, y'know? - That was before I started playing. I really liked Valencia, and do suggest prospective lifeskill &/ barters, go out of their way to get the wp & port.
I think a good format for you would be to really show a edited "beginner's journey" series. Basically like a cumulative case study in research. There's tons of info on BDO from Beginner to very Advanced. You have the time on your hands go through all the Pansy, Evil and online Cricket guides on Worker Empire building for example, cumulate the data. Present it from a beginner's setup perspective. Then there's fame grind, life skill's set-up and optimization, weekly quests and boss rotations, failstack optimization etc. etc.
it looks like you need to do land of morning light before you can continue on the magnus questline. so both main story needs to be done once before you can do the complete magnus
Started to play this week, thank you for the guide, a big throwback for me in BDO is most of the armor does not have models, you have to buy a "costume" to change ur char appearence, im used to systems in sandboxes like OSRS for example, every piece of armor you equip changes your appearence, the other thing is that BDO does not have player to player trade, i also understand it because of RMT and bot reasons, but they could use a system like Gw2, where you get flagged when you send a lot of gold to other players. to solve the bots just make like a captcha every 30 minutes or less. I undestand that most of players dont like this features, but undestand that these features is what kept games like OSRN, eve online, wow, and more games alive until now, OSRN despite beeing an old game, still has more than 1.115 million players per day, yes it has lots of bots, so lets narrow it to 1 million wich is more than most mmos.
Balenos, Calpheon, Mediah, Valencia (still gives Fail Stacks) Part 1, Kamasylve, Duvencrune and O'Dyllita. Rewards include the three Crystals you can combine to make the BiS Crystal (Mediah, Valencia and Kamasylve). Other Benefits: KNowledge and Contribution points. You will acquire these along the above main quest lines. End result is Family Fame, a daily free sum of silver, just for logging in. Oh and it can be 17.5Milion per day PLUS. Contribution points can be used to get additional warehouse storage, a residence and places where you can send workers to to craft items, be they simple weapons up to furniture for a Mansion, It can also be used to link nodes (to transport goods made in the workshops.) The workers can be bought/hired at an NPC in every town. Main thing is: DO Just the main quest line first as first stated, THEN Magnus and then have a look at what Life skills there are that may interest you. DO NOT GRADUATE YOUR SEASONAL CHARACTER as soon as you hit L60/61 because there is also a Life Skill bonus exp on Seasonal, just as you get bonus Combat Exp and Skill Exp. Oh, and whilst a new player you will get a free mount (currently two, inc a T9, but the latter ends 26th July) KEEP IT/THEM in the STABLE. Running from A to B to C builds up a thing called Stamina, the time you are able to actually sprint before slowing down to normal speed. There is also Strength (Allows you to carry MORE in your inventory) and Health, increased by eating food, increases HP. As you progress up to L60 on seasonal, you will get potions that when 'drunk' will increase these three abilities. They are 'easy' to obtain to L30 and then slow down, but will also increase. Strength can be increased by trudging the streets of Velia, Heidel or Calpheon with a pack of potatos on your back. Oh... Do not rush at this game like a bull at a red flag, cause that red flag hides a major roadblock to your enjoyment. It is NOT a sprint, despite what some UA-camrs may imply, but a Marathon. Hey, do any of them know who the heck Hadum is? cause he may be the TRUE endgame. One final tip: After creating your character, doing the intro cut scene and finally awakening IN GAME.... you know that mouse cursor? Use it on every icon in the window to learn about the game's 'secrets'. So many icons, so many secrets and so much useful information. Marathon, not a sprint.
This is the best beginner's guide out of the few I've seen. Very well articulated and not bloated with unnecessary information. well done I'm desperately looking for a guide to mapping hotkeys for controller while playing on PC though. Some way to keep from having any attacks or combat important pieces from being on my D-pad. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
I have huge anxiety about classes...I am 1 month out and still haven't chosen a class because everything that looks fun to me is considered trash endgame.
What BDO version should i pick - Steam or non Steam? Also thinking about playing some on phone or maybe even steam deck(if i buy it). So Steam or not to Steam?
I'm looking for a tank-type class providing group utility/protection/buffs and CC enemies in PvE/PvP, does such a class exist ? Also, does the game do much grouping ? Seems like most of the leveling, from my understanding, is solo play.
Well I clicked on the middle in the starting zone area insteaf of the left option, is there a way to complete the story mode still? Or do I need to create another character and pick the right startimg zone?
Mate, starting on LoML is like starting a book/movie with one third left. DO the main questline for Balenos, Serendia, Mediah Calpheon and Valencia. Oh and DO NOT SPAM "R". you might actually learn summat.
10/10' vid. Q: I've started in the new asian zone, and been doing nothing but spamming r for like 4 days now, please let me kill a mob. How do I get to the other city? When I open world map it's just like this one island. Also, I'm now lv50 and I tried bamboo the other 2 starting bosses at lv1 calamity... And I got owned in like 1 shot. My gear is all upgraded to +20 and then converted.
Went to go create my character. Spent an hour on the name closed off the game first time playing. I’m about to name my character. Hhrjrmrndkkek seems solid.
Dear Breeder God Cauttyh, I write to you this fine evening to thank you for providing adequate instructions to traverse the expansive lands of Black Desert Online. Now that I am equipped with the knowledge of the Gods I can safely and efficiently navigate from Calpheons to Serendia to Mediah and distant lands beyond. I also thank you for informing me that the country of Valencia is "Giga-Cringe". Yes, I believe that is what the children of this era would say. I would like to inform you that the "Magnus" adventures are "Giga-Cringe" and I would rather castrate myself with cactus needles than ever do that again. In the words of the Demon Lord Inzightzz Magnus is mid. I now would like to extend my heartful and sincere apologies to you for I have not heard a single word you have spoken in the last 18 minutes and 30 seconds. I will now rewind this short film you have produced and hear the wise words of the Breeder God. Always yours, AzureEclipse
I wont go back to bdo until they fix the enhancing system, that thing is a trap. Doesnt matter how many things they give you if in the end, that wont help you at all, will just add in anxiety once resources are gone and your stuff downgraded and durablity loss, broken in case of accessories . Nope. Bdo has bigger problems than just run in circles killing mobs or life skilling like a second job
@relaxingsessions5325 your way to deal with bdo problems is what is leading the CM to its current state. Imagine if nobody enhances... where are u gonna buy your gears? There are a lot of preorders on deborekas accessories, V accessories and high end gears, all because people don't want to enhance themselves... buy from market you say....just means the enhancing system in this game is junk. Enhancing gear is not old ways, it's how that should actually be since this is what the game is all about.... gearing simulation
@@erickmunizrocco there are people who are enhancing, and also the high end gears are hard to obtain since they high gear score to them. You say, you wont go back to bdo but you know about the current items in the market haahah. Well, BDO is a sandbox game so we have our own ways to play it. Have a great day ahead!
@relaxingsessions5325 what I just told u is the condition the game was 6 months ago, every now and then I check up upon the news on the game and apparently from what u just said, the game didn't change much, since the game it's still a gearing simulator. CM gears are not so easy to get and the ones enhancing are people with lots of systems and sheets, people with stacked up resources and the gamblers. Bdo has much more potential if a proper enhancing system was in place.
LoML= Land of Morning Light Mountain of Eternal Winter Land of Eternal Morning Light = Where the hell is that? Lol BDO Main Quest helps you explore areas and open up the map. If you're a new player you need to complete all Main Quest atleast once on one character, its not just for the quest rewards but also for contribution points and energy points. Ignore Valencia quest because of its desert? Buy compass part and use it stupid -_- most of the time you get free compass or get compass parts as you make your way to valencia if not just buy compass part from marketplace and combine it, don't be stupid and ignore valencia quest because of stupid reasons
Im a new player and have been watching quite a few "bdo guides for beginners" but i think yours is by far the clearest and dont overwhelm with information that we dont need to know yet. It helps alot to understand better and it does not have gap where "ok once u have ur pen tuvala" into "ok once u have 270ap" out of nowhere. Great vid man.
If you're a new player, pick a class you like go season char and do all main quest. Don't skip any MQ
Couldn't agree more with this, also brand new. Thanks for the step by step this was super helpful. Also the items my God I think that was the most frustrating for me at the very beginning

For a need to know, it’s worth talking about all the other neat things in bdo like housing, taming, life skills, etc.
This video is for beginners. BDO is garbage are making intuitive systems and even worse at explaining those systems. Let us beginners figure out the “easy” stuff first
I gave the game a shot and actually having a blast , couldnt imagine that. thx for the starter guide !!

This.
I'm thinking about picking this game up. It seems like people are having fun. Thanks for the guide
it is very fun!! what server u on?
Thank you for this man, best guide for new players that I’ve found. Please make more content like this to help ease new players in
Great guide! 2 weeks into the game and this has been really helpful.

Bro this is a beginners guide…. Shits annoying asl
u actually made me better understand the game so thank you
Very much needed video! Thank you!!
Cauttyh pumping the BDO content! Sheeeeeeeeeesh! The constant "Land of the Eternal Morning Light" actually killed me
New player, Thanks for the video.
Straight to the point , Thank you so much !!
black desert should really make the black desert more interesting.
How?
I watched your lost ark videos nice to see uou here
This is the best beginner's guide out of the few I've seen. Very well articulated and not bloated with unnecessary information. well done
I'm desperately looking for a guide to mapping hotkeys for controller while playing on PC though. Some way to keep from having any attacks or combat important pieces from being on my D-pad. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Love this guide man, exactly what i needed to get into the game for the 8-10th time. Hopefully the last thing i needed =)
Awesome video thanks man!
Never skip Valência, the part of the questline gives a lot fails tack to enhance gear later on.
Great video! Thanks🔥
more of this please
Does it matter what season: 1,2,3 I start in?
Me, with 10.000+ hours in: "Alright, tell me about it."
I didn't catch that. Should your main mainly do the main MSQ mainly on the main?
GO CAUTTYH GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO U GOT DIS
I have huge anxiety about classes...I am 1 month out and still haven't chosen a class because everything that looks fun to me is considered trash endgame.
What BDO version should i pick - Steam or non Steam?
Also thinking about playing some on phone or maybe even steam deck(if i buy it).
So Steam or not to Steam?
Steam
I messed up and started in LotML what a horrible first area to start as a returning player. wish i found your video much sooner.
How game literally tells u not to start there
you put lost ark as the game category btw. might wanna change that
I'm looking for a tank-type class providing group utility/protection/buffs and CC enemies in PvE/PvP, does such a class exist ?
Also, does the game do much grouping ? Seems like most of the leveling, from my understanding, is solo play.
Whats the font your using on the UI?
Im pretty sure hes taking a break from lost ark until next month big update
I just wish they had male and female options for all characters.
Thank you. 🙏
Well I clicked on the middle in the starting zone area insteaf of the left option, is there a way to complete the story mode still? Or do I need to create another character and pick the right startimg zone?
I don't understand why anyone finds Valencia hard... If you pay attention, it's not that confusing or difficult to navigate.
So should I not start with loml ? Start with the most basic story line? Also does unlocking everything on one char unlocks it on alts?
Mate, starting on LoML is like starting a book/movie with one third left. DO the main questline for Balenos, Serendia, Mediah Calpheon and Valencia. Oh and DO NOT SPAM "R". you might actually learn summat.
10/10' vid. Q: I've started in the new asian zone, and been doing nothing but spamming r for like 4 days now, please let me kill a mob. How do I get to the other city?

Around level 56, you'll be done with the MSQ there and you can leave the island
It says the game you're playing is Lost Ark in the description because you said it once 😂
3rd strike music. 👍
Went to go create my character. Spent an hour on the name closed off the game first time playing. I’m about to name my character. Hhrjrmrndkkek seems solid.

Until you play, you know what you need to buy
24k until 1mil goal in LOA, downloading BDO :)
same bruh, i got 1mil saved up when ever we come back to lost ark in the future.
I love when people use terminology to explain a game to BEGINNERS
i literally quit lost ark last week to play this game lol
same I haven't played it yet how u liking it?
Is there a new BDO or something? I thought BDO was very old and had many poor reviews? Is this a new BDO or something?
Did you quit bot shart?
What's that a new game that just came out lol
Just got this free on ps plus. Can't play it. Every name I pick is taken.
Welcome to the mmo experience
why did you quit lost ark?
He didn't lol
I wont go back to bdo until they fix the enhancing system, that thing is a trap.
Doesnt matter how many things they give you if in the end, that wont help you at all, will just add in anxiety once resources are gone and your stuff downgraded and durablity loss, broken in case of accessories .
Nope. Bdo has bigger problems than just run in circles killing mobs or life skilling like a second job
just buy stuff, dont enhance. think of an alternative, don't stick to the old ways
@relaxingsessions5325 your way to deal with bdo problems is what is leading the CM to its current state.

Bdo has much more potential if a proper enhancing system was in place.
Well I was interested in trying this game but this looks way to complicated so I’ll pass on it
uh, what did he call me now?
I refuse to play as a female so my options are limited
What you need to know: Don't get into BDO. Seriously, don't.
Saddage. Thanks for the help with LostArk. I wont be going back to BDO.
Why wouldn’t you listen to the story at least generally
LoML= Land of Morning Light
Mountain of Eternal Winter
Land of Eternal Morning Light = Where the hell is that? Lol
BDO Main Quest helps you explore areas and open up the map.

The drop rate system and rng system is ass terrible
Do LA content creators just copy each other lol
