Mediah - Barbarians' Tyranny quest [SPOILERS]
I've just moved on to the Mediah area (Altinova) with my first character and given the above quest (main quest story) where you have to defeat the Abandoned Iron mine Imp Work Supervisor. I'm level 53 and currently have a AP/DP of 77/135 so thought I'd give it a go. Before that I was comfortably demolishing Lvl 51 mobs and bosses in Hexe Sanctuary and the Trent area. So I was surprised I couldn't even get close to killing that Boss and was also attacked by numerous workers so ended up abandoning the Abandoned Iron mine for now. lol

I'm assuming it's an elite boss and maybe it's encouraging you to do the quest in a party or guild? I was just a bit surprised that the difficulty with the main story suddenly went up considerably, no easing in at all.

Anyone else felt this or have I missed out a chunk or something? I got the better armor from the Armorsmith in Altinova.

On a separate subject, why have I received absolutely no Jordine-related quests since I went to Calpheon? Acording to the Suggested Quests journal there are 25 quests to do with "Secret Guards and Jordine" and I haven't even been given the first one yet (I've completed all 190 of the Level 1-50 intro quests). Weird.

The Jordine related quests aren't main story line. So you'll only receive them if you look for them.

Also the quests from 52+ are no longer tutorial quests, the difficulty gets bumped.
Also parties do help from here on out.
Ok thanks. I thought that was the case.

Wish there was teleport from Altinova to Calpheon... ugh!

I will just say this ,if you are 53 and have that GS ,you are doing it wrong.What is your gear share here so maybe we can help,those quests are rediculously easy.You also should be able to solo the golems for awekening at 56 ,as of things are right now ,you won't be able.

I definitely suggest heading back to the Calpheon region as you are severely undergeared for Mediah

I got my AP up to 91 now by buying a better amulet and upgrading it.

Yr ap is very low. U should delay doing lvl50 awaken quest until being 140/140 around... Do some lifeskill farm silver to buy gear from MP. Full set (shoes, helm, chest and shoes) is around 50m. Dont spend stones on upgrading yrself. Stack them for Boss gear.
Sure I understand that, but how comes on the map they put a recommended minimum AP level of 70 or 80 for some places in Mediah? It doesn't make sense if my gear/weapons stats need to be much higher than that, as you all say.

Anyway I've learnt a bit more about gear, durability, enhancement chances now (just watched a few vids). My first character tended to focus on crafting and nodes (although she's a good fighter, well up to now, lol). Guess it's time to get serious. :)

Btw, I thought the Awakening quest comes at level 56, obviously I haven't got that yet as I'm Lvl 53.

Well she has 541 combat points, lol. Up to now fighting was pretty easy tbh. :)

I think it's the gear she needs to get good. AP/DP now for at the moment is 91/135. I'll focus more on that now. Her 3-set of Agerian gear is +8 which obviously I need to improve.

PS - I like your review of BDO by the way unreal.status.

If you're playing DK, your AP/DP should be minimum 100/150. If you're other classes, you'll need 20 more AP and DP.

The difference between calpheon area and media is pretty staggering and Valencia area afterwards is also huge.

Yeah, you might have to go back to calpheon area. Get shadow rings, witch earrings, and probably just a yuria belt and necklace is fine. Your weapon should be pri-ish (15+).

The media area has asula pieces but you'll need the minimum require AP to farm them. Go back to hex. Get a few drops and get some silver. 50mil should be good enough to get you there.

This comes from a pre-steam patches.They changed the world so new commers can catch up with levels faster.But that created unbalanced progress.Pre-awekenings,the game had stable progression.Meaning that with the levels you could gather,contribution and energy points in fairly same speed.Other aspect of this is ,that the game in no way or manner hints you that you probably should stay for a week or 2 on 49,grinding mobs and getting energy and contribution points as well as Skill Points.Rushing in this game ,means mainly nothing,since you end up with no skill points,and way undergeared for mediah ,which curently is going under reconstruction.They are changing mobs,exp and such here and there thru out the game.On the gear part,as far as i get it you are sorc.So in that case ,focus on 4 grunil parts,and Liverto ,Jubre ,till you start getting your boss parts,also get the Asula accesories set ,it has nice accuracy boost and is equal to PRI MoS ,Witch earring..Make sure to invest in the -Omar Lava Cave ,and Abandoned Iron Mine in Mediah .Those you need to mine platinum,and that you need to craft reform stones.10 3rd grade(weapon,armor) reform stones + one Hard or Sharp makes the ultimate reform stone.Gear that can be reformed to ultimate gives a bit better stats then a clean unreformed gear.After awekening ,you should start focusing ,on the BiS gear.No need to enchant the Grunil above TRI,and the liverto as well.Basicly all the gear in the game has similar stats,but there are hidden stats ,so things go like this:Liverto and Kzarka DUO have 0,5 AP difference ,but the accuracy you earn from Kzarka and the AP above DUO is way bigger then the Liverto or any other gear in the game.That is why it is BiS ,it has no substitution ,or compensating the difference with other gear.If i think of some thing else i will tipe it down here.Basicly it will be after you aweken,and get the scythe.Go for the blue one it can be reformed to ultimate.Ask if you need additional clarification on parts of what i wrote.

P.S. Forgot to mention i am playing sorc since the western release of the game,and trust me you want to keep majority of your main skills,since our game play requires switching between awekening and main constantly to get the most of our class.You will need a lot of skill points.

^^Thanks for all that really useful info Jack and Y-u-no, especially about the gear. Really appreciated.

Yes first character is a sorc. (I actually prefer playing my second (DK) character for fighting as the DK seems stronger, but the sorc isn't bad). I bought a Yuria amulet yesterday (currently upgraded to +11) so obviously will continue to improve all my gear.

Btw, I don't really rush levelling, I try to balance fighting with life skilling, empire building etc but obviously it's the gear and weapons I didn't pay much attention to before (My sorc combat skills as I mentioned before aren't bad though - 541 pts at the moment). I have a ton of useful materials which I've been just selling off but now will start to make armor, weapons, amulets etc to help durability too.

I've got witch earrings, will check out the other gear you both mentioned. And grind a bit more in Calpheon/Hexe.

Thanks!

I think this plateau I reached just made me realise how huge the game is.

No prob. The rings are located in a cave off of shadow soldiers. TBH, they're harder than hex, so IMO it's better to keep farming hex and just buy rings. Shadow rings are pretty pricey for just 5 AP. There are other options such as Blue coral ring for the same AP for base for literally a fraction of the price. Just go for those instead since you'll be getting the asula set after this.

Mark of Shadows arent good until DUO/TRI. MoS at DUO give 9 AP. 11 Ap at TRI.

If you want an affordable ring. Buy Outlaw's Ring. Its cheap to buy and to enhance. And it gives a nice DP boost.

You can also go for Red Coral Rings. Its reverse to Outlaw's Ring. You get 1 AP more but 1 DP less. Its also more expensive than Outlaw's Ring.

^^ Thanks re the accessories info. I'm sure other people will find this useful too.

I'm such a noob - I realised Agerian armor isn't half as good as Grunil. Just bought a whole set of Grunil, some items already with upgrades.

agerian is good if you want to be "cheap", however grunil does scale better because of crystal slots and the +5-7 AP. I went a long way with 3-piece Algerian w/roaring chest. Financially, it's so much cheaper if you're okay of losing the AP, but since you bought the grunil, go with that. The free things are roaring chest piece, sealed magical offhand, and asula set, which you can use up to pre-Valencia.

The sealed magical weapon is right after you fight the witch. You turn it into a woman in the trees by Trent. It'll save you from buying a +13 offhand or higher. I hope you didn't toss your magical weapon away.
