EQUIPMENT BLACK DESERT

[R1KZ]

How to get better equipment in Black Desert? How do I know about better equipment? Where can I see what other equipment is next for me? Where can I get this equipment? Are they only for purchase through NPCS? Can I get it by killing bosses?
Are there any standard NPCs that sell equipment? What do I do to find missions to get new equipment? WTF THIS GAME

Are you playing a Seasonal Character or Normal Character?

Seasonal Characters:
If Seasonal, you'll be given pieces of Naru gear as you progress through the main story line.
Hopefully, you chose the Ancient Stone Chamber choice.
Following the main quest line will also give you special stones, here and there, that upgrade that Naru gear.
Do not bother upgrading Naru accessories.
Upgrade your Naru gear to PEN, then you can switch out the PEN pieces for Tuvala gear.
Upgrade the Tuvala gear to PEN.
As a Seasonal Character PEN Tuvala gear is the best you can get.
You can get your Tuvala accessories from the Blacksmiths.
Watch your Season Pass.
Some upgraded gear and accessories and or extra special stones that will auto-upgrade some Tuvala gear and accessory pieces to PEN. Not auto as in you don't need to do anything. More like it is a guaranteed upgrade when you do the RNG upgrade process.

So you have a full set of Narchillan Gear.
You'll need to start doing a lot of grinding.

Either, find a spot in the desert region or kamasylvia region you feel comfortable grinding in.
NOTE: In the desert you'll have to constantly deal with repeated desert sickness and hypothermia.
Once you decide where you want to grind, keep grinding and grinding, saving your silver.
If there are Caphra drops, at this time don't save them.
Sell them on the Central Market for Max sell price.
Yes, you'll need caphras later, but right now you need lots of silver fast.
When you get enough silver buy on the Central Market a PEN Boss gear piece for your character.
Keep grinding and keep buying PEN Boss gear pieces until you finally have a full seven piece PEN set.
PEN: Main, Sub, and Awaken weapons.
PEN: Head, Chest, Gloves, Boots.

That will take you to your next gear step to be able to grind in better silver payout areas.

Higher-tier gear comes from killing bosses. World Bosses drop boss gear, and high-difficulty Black Shrine bosses have a chance to drop Fallen God gear. However, hoping for boss drops is the least effective way of gearing.

There's an NPC named "Jetina" in most major cities.
She will give you a set of TET (IV) boss gear, the step beyond Narchillan and Tuvala.
She also gives a set of quests to upgrade that gear to PEN (V).
Start with this.

Do the Magnus questline. Aside from unlocking the ability to teleport to major cities, the final reward is also one piece of PEN (V) boss gear.

Once you have PEN (V) boss gear, you can use Caphras stones to level them to 10, and convert them into Fallen God gear (the tier after Blackstar).

TY SO MUCH, REALLY GRATEFUL.
I NEED MORE HELP...
Should I continue doing the main missions? or should I stop and choose places to level?
I feel like I really need to do missions like killing monsters and getting rewards for it, or killing more monsters to complete more important missions, how do I find these missions?
I'm stuck in the main missions of the game and I can't do anything else.

*The succession and awakening skills, should I choose just one form? Or can I play with them mixed?

Do quests until Lv 61.
Grinding for XP is only done after 61.

Which quests to do depends on the area. In Balenos, Serendia, Calpheon, Mediah, and Valencia, most of the exp comes from the main story quests. Focus on these, the sidequests aren't very important. Story quests are usually "go talk to this NPC" and occasionally "fight this boss".

Once you get to Kamasylvia/Dreighan/O'dyllita, the main quests don't give much exp, but the sidequests give a lot. You still need to do the main quests to unlock new areas, but now you'll also want to pick up sidequests in each area. The sidequests are usually things like "kill some monsters".

As for skills, if you pick Awakening, you can switch freely between the main weapon and awakening weapon by pressing C. Classes usually have combos that switch weapons too. With Awakening, you're expected to use both weapons.

If you choose Succession, you can not use the Awakening weapon. However, your main weapon skills become stronger and gain new effects. Use Succession if you like the main weapon and don't care about the Awakening weapon.
