Here are things to do besides the main quest for you NOOBS out there.

Uhhh when I was a complete noob to BDO, my newbie friendly guild just told me to do the main quest line if I was completely LOST and had no real direction as to what to do next. (The main quest has been revamped a ton of times, they probably cut out like 100's of quests but it will always be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ since it is a tutorial meant to help people being the first time on a PC or something).

1. Item Drop can be found in your menu, shows how strong the monsters are and even where they are. When I was new I straight up stopped questing at level 20 and ran around killing stuff. I think I hit 56 the first day and got my asula set.

2. Life skilling, but it kind of sucks if you are under 200 energy. So here are some life skills that aren't too "ENERGY" intensive. Cooking... Farming... keep in mind this ♥♥♥♥ is supposed to be like something you check every 1-2 hours as you watch anime or play another game in between. (I prob have 500 hours of active playing and like 5500 hours of straight up AFK)

3. Join a better guild, don't be in a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ guild that has 1 active Guild Master, and 80 people that haven't logged in for 30 days because they thought recruiting noobs off Olvia was a good idea.

4. PvP... with your guild... on trial characters. I think one of my last guilds we did some 5v5's with trials, ♥♥♥♥ was fun.

5. Sit in town and enhance... make a bunch of PRI armor to sell for 40-50mil a piece... or make a ton of duo tri tet stuff for later on when you need fail stackies.

6. Reroll or try a new class, if you don't like it just use it as a boss ALT or as a mule.. I have like one level 7 character that just leeches Vell, like some guilds just park a ship out there to shoot it once for the entire platoon to leech the vell drop.

7. Leech exp from your guildies, or help power level your guildies.. set up a power leveling event once a week or something.
