EvilDoUsHarm has the most comprehensive library of guides for new players and easy is to understand for native English: https://www.youtube.com/c/EvilDoUsHarm


There should be links in any of the videos to the discord server or any other resources.

This is a video by BiceptimusPrime on enhancing the Tuvala gear which really save your sanity when you get to that point in the Season: https://youtu.be/kIzWlXq4mGk

ah wonderful ill check it out when I get time ty

[Chewtoy]

yeah Main story, and upgrade gear to V, be prepared to farm a lot of stones at 56+, this is where people quit the game :P

Because RNG, they will fail, roll back gear to lower level multiple times, get mad, and quit.
Worst system in the game.

ill keep that in mind

Season is a great time to get into the game. We have a bit over 2 months this season roughly still, no need to rush.

Main Quest
Personally I take my time, for me that roughly equates to 2-7 days (depending upon how much I play the game) per region (Balenos, Serendia, Calpheon, Mediah etc etc). Working through the main quests and combat quests first, taking note of Season Pass requirements along the way. Season Pass rewards give great bonuses for your character, like inventory space, which then make lifeskill quests/activities much easier to do afterwards. I do my fair share of faffing about always also.

Lifeskills
Black Spirit Guide ('Guide <4>' when talking to your Black Spirit) provides great tutorial missions, covering all the basic lifeskills the game has to offer. This is based around Velia/Balenos and highly recommended. Also, refer back to 'Guide <4>' regularly to keep abreast of when you can attempt advancement quests for your various lifeskills, these can be quite important and will unlock high lifeskill efficiencies etc etc. Of course, if you don't enjoy lifeskilling, don't waste your time doing any of that. The game is for fun, precious time should be spent doing enjoyable things.

Equipment
Enhancing TET and PEN Tuvala equipment: use the failstacks Fughar gives you, I think it's +40 for TET and +60 for PEN, these are quest rewards given by Fughar when showing him a successfully enhanced piece of equipment of the lower tier, and are given for this reason. Don't worry about using Cron Stones - they're too valuable. When enhancing for TET and PEN, work on one piece at a time and always make sure you have enough stones to force enhance (100% chance) your piece of equipment back to TRI. This way at the end of the day if you don't succeed you will be with at least a TRI piece; the piece you started with, so won't go backwards.

Tuvala Accessories, it's personal preference, and dependant largely upon how many Tuvala Ore bits you have to barter for accessories to enhance with. Personally I use low Advice of Valks (e.g. +20) to expedite the process, just makes it much less painful overall.

Evildousharm is a terrific youtube suggestion, he puts everything at a new players level, so even people that might not play BDO will understand the guide, plus he does it in 8 or 10 minutes.

On a sidenote, ontop of the advice other players already given you, you'll probably be overwhelmed by the amount of currencies being thrown at you, i imagine you'll be wondering "whats a Caphras stone", whats this that and the next. Take your newfound items that you might still not have a clue what they're for, and store them at any given city, maybe find a city/village you like, look for the store manager and have him keep all the stuff you're unsure about. You can greatly expand storage of the place with some contribution points, but worry bout that later.

ty for all the advice lookin forward to gettin in :)

in short, just follow the main quest line - it gives most rewards and lets you progress faster. once you hit level 20 (that would be very soon) you can press "O" to bring quests tab, select all quests at the bottom. that way you will see all quests available from NPCs, you might want to do some daily/repeatable quests to get additional materials for your gear. Season will go for few months so plan your time accordingly. If you can invest only few hours here and there stick to the main quest to get your gear first. Once you'll have some gear, check other activities and side missions.

Somebody mentioned EvilDoUsHarm. That dude's youtube is loaded with info. In particular, I recommend watching his video on how to get the Chenga tome and related videos on how to use it to more easily level from 56 to 60 or 61.

until you get the leveling path down always do main story.
Dont waste valks or stuff on season gear.
Dont sell everything in the CM.. Keep armor stones and weapon stones.. same with mem frags and stuff

Don't spend time on tamer. She's garbage at end game. I play one & I get one tapped by other classes.

I actually play my Tamer all of the time in PvE and I think she is absolutely wonderful. A lot of fun bouncing on your toes nonstop. 😊

I also a hear, hear to "Fredericks of Cursewood, Reverielle, kitty, and Pvt. BootyClap posts". If this is your first play through follow the main questline. It will get you a lot of free storage space, Naru Gear, and Beginner Black Stones.
While doing that main questline keep enhancing that Naru gear. At first you will not have enough Beginner Black Stones, but the main questline gives you more and more as you go. Eventually, you will get that Naru gear (weapons / armor) to PEN. 😊
