What to do with main weapon after awakening?

[Verto]

im getting close to awakening for first time (lvl 55) and Im wondering if my main weapon will be still usefull, as i thout about selling it to buy better awakening weapon. my class is ranger

try hard to get boss gear awakening. its worth the effort. grind hexe sanctuary for earring drops to sell, and relic shards to sell can usually make minimum of 20m/hour there with the worst loot drop rates. connect the node there and invest your alt characters energy into it til it hits lvl 10. this will increase drop rates in that area. if you haven't made alts yet i highly recommend doing so immediately for this purpose alone. just lvl them up to like 15 and do edans stone chamber quest in early tutorial so they can also enhance later.

Attend karanda boss every chance you get. youre a ranger so just sit back and go pew pew and dodge now and then. Also attend kzarka for a decent mainhand. you have new player luck so your drop rates will be better than most.

I have alot of alts, most of them around lvl 30-40, but still, should i sell bow after getting awakening weapon to boost it? (TRI Liverto longbow)

You're main hand boosts your awakening AP. So keep what you have unless you can upgrade to boss.

Some main hand attacks will remain useful even after awakening (the extent to which this holds true depends on your class, though). Also, your main hand AP partially fuels your Awakening AP.

Since you're pretty new to BDO (seeing as this your first awakened character) I'd recommend buying a TRI Liverto main hand and a TRI green Awakened to get you properly set up for doing western Mediah content. This shouldn't cost you more than ~300 mill silver, which you should own if you have been questing and/or doing life skills throughout your journey to level 56.

Once you get a few more levels and have built up some cash reserves you should invest in a TRI sub-weapom and start adding TRI armor pieces. Accesories should come from drops in the form of Asula's pieces (random drops from Mediah mobs). Buy Ultimate reform stones and upgrade all your TRI gear to Ultimate TRI for added AP/DP. With the investment of about 800m into TRI gear you should be able to hit around 180/260 AP/DP, which is more than enough to breeze through the most popular spots for sub-60 grinding and questing.

Good luck!

About the weapons, I already have DUO liverto and +8 dandelion, so should I upgrade dandelion or buy better offhand?

[Delerium75]

Upgrading is both risky and costly, so it's usually a good idea to straight out buy your first set of gear, with TRI being the most cost efficient alternative (imo).
A Dandelion weapon is going to take a lot of resources to upgrade successfully (failed upgrade attempts will damage your weapon's max durability and the process of repairing it is VERY expensive), so it's not a great choice for a player that's just starting out on their BDO career. If I were you, I'd put the Dande in storage for now and buy a green TRI sub + ultimate weapon reform stone. That will cost you around 100m and will give you an AP increase of 34.

It's still RNG. You can have well over 100 FS and still fail a TET multiple times.

For example here's someone failing PEN with 294 FS: https://clips.twitch.tv/ColdbloodedCarelessFungusVoteNay It took him a total of 348 FS to finally hit PEN. It's just really not worth it to enhance unless you have the materials.
