Some questions about lvl 50

[Desert Angel]

Hi guys,
I started playing bdo 2 days ago and i just hit lvl 49.99 and now i have some questions:
1. Is it even worth going for lvl 50 right away?
2. Will the PvP be a problem / where will people be able to kill me / does it happen often / what do i lose when i die to a player
3. Do i need good equipment and skills for the fight? (I've been saving some skillpoints for awakened skills)
Thanks for your help!

1: Since its your first Character, yes definitly.

2: PvP is not a problem really, yes they can just kill you if they want to, and normally it dosent happen often fi you are not stealing someones "Farm Spot", if someone however kills you, you ll lose nothing jsut spawn somewhere else.

2: Yes definitly but its also something about level. So doing PvP at lvl 50 makes no sense ... just keep playing as you normally would...

1. Yes, for characters you plan on using for combat. Always keep 1 character at Level 49 for lifeskills only because you can use it to do lifeskills without the risk of being murdered while AFK as you'll most likely be attacked in a combat zone when someone knows they can win.

2. After Lv. 50, you can be attacked in any combat zone by anyone above Lv. 50. However, the chances of that happening are pretty low as the instigator will always lose karma; losing enough karma will make their name turn red and allow them to be killed without penalty in both safe zones and combat zones.

The most common reasons for getting attacked are:
- You start kiling monsters in a rotation "claimed" by another player
- You are grinding in a rotation that someone else wants and they think they can take the rotation from you
- You're AFK in a combat zone, whether it be AFK lifeskilling or simply riding a horse from one place to another
- You appear to be a weak target for someone who wants to try PvP or wants to be a ♥♥♥♥ (Class and/or gear)
- You have low enough karma to have a red name, meaning you can be killed without penalty
- You're in the Arsha server

3. Being strong in BDO is heavily dependant on gear above all else; it doesn't matter if you're Level 62 with all of your skills maxed out, you're not going to do very good damage if you have very bad gear.

Awakening skills make up the majority of your raw damage output in most cases, but some classes can really make use of pre-awakening skills in PvP, like Warrior, even if it's just tactical.
Many classes have a grab or stun which is your most valuable skill for PvP if you can land it and disable your opponent long enough to deal massive damage or flat-out kill them.

Just know that the best classes for 1v1 PvP are Striker, Mystic, Warrior, and Beserker, so be wary that they are harder to kill in 1v1 engagements and are more likely to attack people for rotations because they know they can faceroll people with minimal effort because they're class-carried with little skill.

Don't fear the games pvp system. Just stay away from contested grind areas during peak hours. There are only a handful really and it doesnt take long to learn what is what.
