Grinding with lvl 50 Shai? Suggestions?
I'm playing BDO again and still ignorant to a lot of stuff in BDO. I used to play it and basically forgot literally everything and I just reached level 50 on my Shai. First time with the class. I'm having difficulty getting a higher AP. The only way I can think of getting higher AP fast is by going to the marketplace and buying like top tier stuff. Are there any other ways? I feel like using stones is kind of useless.

I'm pretty dumb so if you could dumb it down like you're talking to a 2 year old, that'd be great. There's so much to this game, I just easily get confused. But I love it so much.

TL;DR

Any grinding spots for a lvl 50 Shai? Via money, loot, etc.

My current setup:
AP: 64
DP: 129
HP: 2,320
MP: 568

Fish til you have one spot left in your inventory then go sell them to a trader before you log off and they go bad. (once you lvl to professional fishing you'll start making about 20 mil an hour) Rinse and repeat til you can buy gear in the marketplace getting you to about 160 ap or so. once you reach that level go do the main quests til you are done with valencia 1 main questline and kama 1. by then you should be able to grind gahaz and other lvl 160 spots with ease with some decent gear for grinding. However you can keep fishing til you have enough money to buy ap 210 gear, then i'd consider making more money grinding than fishing. This is the fastest and easiest way to get gear quickly and go do what you want without paying lots of irl money.

edit:They give you 4 free pets if you do the main questline through mediah and log in every day for the kuku; so until you have those or are willing to spend more money i wouldn't grind but fish since grinding without pets is a fail.

sry for this weird player above this quote i made
he doesnt know how to actually explain it :D

for starters an shai is 1 of the whorst first classes
( if this is your first class )

-Progression in money-

if y really want to stay the class i would recommand grinding at mansha/catfish on the left side of calpheon which are lvl 48-51 zones basicly
y can make decent money here which goes into your armor and weapons
getting you to higher APs then y can grind at other zones

if you got about 100-120 AP i would recommand Helms Post
( its also a nice place to level up to level 56 btw ) i personally make new chars lvl them to 58 there ;D its so easy lol

-Black Spirit Quests-

i would recommand doing them all they give you bonus items which you
can use or sell :D pretty nice also if y upgrade
your black spirit basicly by making the quests he looks cooler !

-main/suggestion quests-

its not that you need to do it but if y wanna get into life skilling
its a must sadly if y dont want to do life skilling and just play for
the grind bosses etc i would recommand doing only a few of them
if you see some sweet quest rewards you really want to posses

-Grinding/Geathering Needs-

sadly playing the game gets harder without those things from the pearl shop :/

pets ( recommand getting 5 ) ( if y wanna play long-term cause you lose hours dropping items)
costume ( if y wanna play long-term the bonuses from it are nice )
LT limiters ( increases the weight you can carry really usefull )
Storage Maids/Butlers ( with those you can basicly send things to the bank while y grind )
Invetory space ( without enough invetory space your rip whasting hours running around )
Tent ( this is for after 240+ AP before that y dont need it )

-PvP overall-

after hitting lv50 the pk starts
and you can litrally get instant wiped
at most zones bec your just too weak to do somthing back
this gets at certain points annoying cause bec of this you cannot
grind properly somtimes ;D its annoying but if your at decent AP/DP its no problem
also its a must to know all skills and how to counter it or els your dead too


if y got any other questions just hit me up on discord NolifeOtaku#7538

Actually the best place to level up to level 56 from level 50 on with 100 AP+, is Nagas (tights packs, many many groups of Nagas and easy kills with a +30 AP add on skill on one of your skills). With a few XP scrolls you get those level in a maximum of 1H/1H30 hours. I have done it with my Shai. Go Naga and watch your levels go up at high speed ;)

PS: i farmed Nagas with 125 AP / 300DP with my level 50 Shai.

its stupid to have too much DP on a shai
it already has the highest survivalbility of all classes
giving her 300+DP is a whaste of money y could reather spend
on building up higher AP brackets on her or els no1 wants her in pve content

Don´t worry, I have allready a full TRI asula set that I use in high AP PVE areas. I just change the jewels from DP to AP or vice-versa when needed.

Shai grinds very well in PVE.
But in your case, I suggest you buy a brain with pearls... :steamfacepalm:

With your 974 Hours on BDO.....you didn´t even get a glimpse of the Game......

my reaction to this :

does it matter that shai grinds well >? it doesnt
does it matter that shai can boost the stats of her team ->? yea it does

why would you grind with shai ( get lower money&hour )
while you can play actual grinder classes -> sorc , mystic , wiz . witch for instance
and get way more ( money&hour) then shai

its pointless to grind with a shai and a whaste of time
i would recommand NO1 litrally no1 to ever grind with a shai:steamfacepalm:

I farm with shai; ap 160.
I found Fogans to be amazing while leveling, there is a nice nook in the back where you can usually farm in a circle for hours!

Farming for money at the moment tends to be more your rng, but I enjoy farming at the abandoned mines, helms, pollys (lvl 10 node only), and blood wolves.

Shai also recieves an huge combat experience gain from gathering, I got an significant portion of my lvl 60 experience mining at pilgrims, taking just a few days to gain 30+ percent.

Shai needs a nice big Florang to farm effectively and can be very fast paced and enjoyable.

False, Farming polly 160 ap 60-80 mill trash loot per hour, 1 craftsman shirt every 2 hours. 2500 kills every 30 mins... seems fine to me

I should note this was with Spirit Stone, Simple Cron, no pots, event loot scroll, arasha... getting 1 hit by the pvpers lol.

Also; it is worth adding, they say Shai has some crazy PVE buffs on her abilities. Helps a bit, and things even at the shrine will die in one hit with shais attack buff. (recharge every 30 secs or so assuming you hit things)
