00:00:00
so you've decided to pick yourself up a copy of
Black Desert online and it's a new MMO PG that
00:00:05
you've never played or you totally new to an m o
RPG and it's the first one you've played then it
00:00:12
might seem a little bit overwhelming so let me
try to explain to you how easy it is actually
00:00:18
H the game is very in-depth and um it has a lot
of layers to it but I just want to make it kind
00:00:23
of easier to you uh for understanding so that
you won't be put off by first getting into the
00:00:29
game and not knowing what to do where to start but
first let me introduce myself hi my name is majika
00:00:36
I'm your local streaming witch over on twitch.tv/
mopa and yeah leave a like and a sub and a comment
00:00:43
if this guide will be helpful for you and check
out also the um chapters below if you want to
00:00:48
go into one specific chapter that you're very
interested in or just want to switch around so
00:00:54
when you first open up the Black Desert online
launcher it will ask you to input your email and
00:00:59
your password that you've already decided on and
then you choose between a server there is the na
00:01:05
server and the EU server that we in Europe can
change too and also in North America where I
00:01:11
think South America has their own ones but there
are more servers that you can choose from choose
00:01:16
a server that you like I am currently in the U EU
server because the times when I play is normally
00:01:22
the time when other people are already going to
sleep or when the grind spots are more free for
00:01:27
me personally other people might play uh during
the day so it's it's easier to find a grind Spot
00:01:33
while they are in the na server so choose which
one ever you like more but don't feel restricted
00:01:40
you can always with the same email make an account
for the other server as well later on the only
00:01:45
thing that you can't do with that one is get the
codes that we get from BDO um for free stuff is
00:01:53
use the same code and the other account with the
same email the code you can only use once for one
00:01:58
email you can go into the na server and in the U
server afterwards as well even if you've decided I
00:02:05
want to join the U server now after that when you
go into the game you will be greeted by this these
00:02:13
are actually all of the channels that you later on
can um choose to go into as you can see there are
00:02:20
used uh season servers and normal servers the
thing with the season servers is that a normal
00:02:26
character cannot enter these season servers a
season character can join any Server Like These
00:02:36
user India servers as well as the season servers
and at the beginning you can also with every class
00:02:43
and every character season or Not Season you can
also go into the new Olia servers those ones give
00:02:50
you an XP up these ones are for beginners these
will give you an XP poost so you can enter these
00:02:58
servers only if you go up to level 61 the first
time that you are at with your first character
00:03:05
up at level 61 you will not be able and to pass 61
you will not be able to enter these allia servers
00:03:12
anymore you can always when you've done one season
go into the next season and then join these season
00:03:18
servers again but to make it clear why how that
works I'm going to hop into one server these are
00:03:26
my classes my characters these are all normal
characters and this one down here is my season
00:03:33
character if I want to go into a season server
with my normal class like the witch it says only
00:03:40
season character may be may enter This Server so
it is only possible to enter This Server really
00:03:46
just with your season class which will be always
visible to you by having this yellow border around
00:03:51
it when you start out the game you might be a
little bit overwhelmed because we have a lot of
00:03:56
classes to choose from it really depends depends
on you which kind of class you would like to play
00:04:03
you can look at a lot of guides on which class
would be the best for PVP or for PVE but I would
00:04:08
say just go in do and get one of a class that you
like that you visibly like the look of or like
00:04:17
because you're going to play a lot of uh a lot of
hours on that class on that character so choose
00:04:22
one that you really enjoy playing with and for
that we actually have the trial character which
00:04:29
means when you come back into your game you have
the trial characters the trial tab over here this
00:04:38
trial Char tab will actually make it possible to
make a trial character up to level 61 so that you
00:04:45
can try out different classes you can get up to
three trial characters and when you go into it it
00:04:51
will ask you if you want to make a new character
you're just going to hit yes and then you will
00:04:55
get down here to the same thing as before when you
actually want to make a class and you can choose
00:05:00
between all of these classes choose whichever one
you'd like to try out and get yourself accustomed
00:05:07
with that class so we've made a tral character
we're going to hop into the server now and here
00:05:14
you can try out the Awakening and successions
which I'm going to talk about later on but
00:05:19
just in general your whole character your whole
class this one you will actually be up to level
00:05:25
61 already you can enter your skill menu You Can
level up each skill to the maximum you can then
00:05:33
also choose between Awakening and succession and
try out all the moves with that class go down here
00:05:43
to the vendor and get yourself these things the
ASA chest succession book and The Awakening book
00:05:50
and some armor sets so let us do that I'm going to
open up every single thing these will actually not
00:05:58
cost you anything and equipped everything that
you have and now you can go back into this tab
00:06:05
press shift and lmb on a skill icon to invest all
the points in we can decide to go into succession
00:06:12
which will use only your main weapon or into
Awakening which we'll use a second weapon I'm
00:06:17
going to show you the succession now just to make
it easy and with that you can just go around this
00:06:25
small little region here and try out all the
different kind of skills and get accustomed of
00:06:33
um skills and get accustomed to how it would be
playing on that character and if you enjoy the
00:06:40
moves and the play style of them there is some
dummies over here that you can actually use your
00:06:47
skills on just so that you can see how it would
be playing against a monster or different class
00:06:56
when you start out the game I really recommend you
100% make a season class because it is easier to
00:07:03
enhance and to level up with a season character
instead with a normal character and you will be
00:07:08
able to access the season servers which will give
you an XP boost and you will get some free goodies
00:07:15
from the season character as well at the end of
the season character you can graduate which is
00:07:20
like making the season character into a normal
character with a full set of gear equal to Ted
00:07:26
boss gear which is like a very high leveled item
grade this is really good gear to get you started
00:07:33
in the game and try and trying to get it without
season is much harder because the enhancement
00:07:39
process it's much harder on normal armor and
weapons than it is on tovala gear which would
00:07:46
be the season weapon there there will be a lot
of other rewards as well that you don't get as
00:07:51
a normal character like you get expansion slots
slots and inventory space and skill points much
00:07:58
more easier and as I said it has a combat XP of
100% and a skill XP of 20% up also PVP is disabled
00:08:07
except in the season PVP Channel which you can
only access at level 56 so you don't have to
00:08:14
worry about getting griefed by another player and
killed off by other people you just have to look
00:08:19
out for the monsters which is really neat and nice
like it's easy so the season servers will give you
00:08:26
the special servers that you can only enter with
season card characters but you can also enter with
00:08:31
the season character in normal uh servers anyone
can participate so if you've done one season you
00:08:37
are not you're not done you can always make a
new season even if you're a veteran player even
00:08:42
if after a year you decide oh I want to have a new
season character you are not stopped by that you
00:08:49
can make yourself a new one and the season service
will also introduce you more easily to the game
00:08:55
which is nice because it can get a lot but it will
get you through it a little bit easier you can
00:09:01
make one season character at a time so you cannot
make two season characters at the same time you
00:09:06
have to make one season character quadrate that
one and then you will be able to make a second
00:09:10
season character when you're ready to advance
to like your your character you can choose to
00:09:17
graduate and leave the server and then you will
be only able to access the normal ones but you
00:09:23
can take all the time that you need previously we
had a time limit on the season characters of like
00:09:29
maybe four or five or 6 months now you can do
it on your own time there is no limit to it so
00:09:34
if you decide after a month I want to take a
break there you don't have to be worried that
00:09:38
you will not be able to catch up and graduate
on time take your time and enjoy the game after
00:09:44
you graduate you make your normal your season
character into a normal character you don't have
00:09:50
to worry about losing that character and you also
don't lose all the weapons and armors that you've
00:09:56
made during that time everything will stay in your
inventory and it becomes a normal weapon a normal
00:10:03
armor just still with the label toala because you
can only get one item and make it into an actual
00:10:09
boss item so now let's make actually a character
I'm not able to make a season character because
00:10:15
I already have one so I'm just going to put the
normal character in you as a new beginner you're
00:10:20
going to click the season character here you
want to create a new character yes and then you
00:10:26
have your options choose whichever one you like
the most in a trial characters and make a class
00:10:31
you can create and make him look however you want
if you're a lazy like me there's also the beauty
00:10:37
album feature which you can just click and open up
and then you have the most popular looks you can
00:10:44
choose which time period you want to have today's
rankings 7 days a year and all time and when you
00:10:49
found something you like just apply hit yes and
will actually transform him into that pre made
00:10:57
look then you can customize the hair the face the
body the voice as well as his horoscope which will
00:11:03
be not really influential in the gameplay this
will only affect one Quest um but there will be
00:11:10
many guides on the internet who will will help
you out there then you got to got to give him
00:11:15
a name hit create a character so let's hop into
the class it asks me if I want to start a tutorial
00:11:22
unfortunately you will not be able to choose
between starting that tutorial or not starting
00:11:28
that tutorial you would actually be forced to do
it but it's just a onetime thing you're going to
00:11:33
do this tutorial which is going to take about 10
minutes and gives you a very basic Guide to the
00:11:38
movements and the key inputs please don't base
your expectations just on this tutorial because
00:11:46
it's really not well designed it's it's it's it's
very um interesting and here we are this is just
00:11:51
going to give you a basic overview on the story
and how everything is going and you're going to
00:11:58
be able to do it that tutorial you can also skip
the cutscenes in the meantime and the story and
00:12:04
then just go through the normal tutorial which is
going to make everything really easy so after you
00:12:10
finish the tutorial you will be able to choose a
starting zone as a new player I really recommend
00:12:17
you to choose ancient stone chamber it will give
you the whole main story and some quests that you
00:12:23
will actually need to do if you just want to go
to the boss fight then go over and help onto the
00:12:29
land of the morning light but for really new
people I would really recommend the ancient
00:12:34
stone chamber the ancient stone chamber is also
far less confusing and there are more resources
00:12:39
online that are based on the ancient stone chamber
since it was the original starting zone they've
00:12:45
also now made it better and less much less hard
to do than it was previously they've improved
00:12:54
this whole story line so we will start actually
here and then you will actually really start your
00:13:01
journey as you can see you start your journey off
right away with a quest just hit r on all of them
00:13:07
and you will be in your quest line after creating
your season character and processing up to this
00:13:13
point I really recommend you to focus on the main
story quests if you get confused at any point you
00:13:20
can always hit up the the quest loog by pressing
o on your keyboard or hit up D Black Spirit if you
00:13:29
want to get other quests in what I mean by that
is you're going to hit o you have all of your
00:13:37
main quests that you want to do the main quest
focus on four different regions it's focusing
00:13:42
on balenos serendia on calion and on medala these
four regions here these will be your main quests
00:13:51
and after completing these there are Auto optional
but for now they just give you extra rewards alsoo
00:13:58
which I can really recommend you is by hitting o
and you're going into your main quest as you can
00:14:02
see I only have the main story currently on
I would recommend you to hit all so that you
00:14:07
can see every type of quest that you can have at
first you're not going to be able to you're going
00:14:12
to need to reach level 20 but afterwards just hit
this all button so you can see the other quests as
00:14:18
well with your season class you will also receive
a season pass which will be up here in this corner
00:14:26
so the season pass will give you different kind
of d TKS to do during your season class after
00:14:33
you've graduated you will not be able to do the
season pass again with that same character it
00:14:37
will be back on with the new season class that
you're going to make you can purchase the Black
00:14:43
Spirit pass which will give you extra rewards but
you can do it but you don't have to it's not it's
00:14:48
really just optional it gives you some extra
goodes like some storage mates and some Central
00:14:53
Market makes mates and a classic outfit box but
all of these things you also get for free while
00:14:59
while enjoying the games and pebus really just
gives it out for free sometimes during codes and
00:15:05
events with completing these um task you will get
different kinds of rewards you get an inventory
00:15:10
expansion you get the secret book of Misty Breeze
which will give you extra skill points the skill
00:15:17
points that you use to get new skills and to level
up your skills you really want to use these up
00:15:23
with that character you can use this season pass
also as a very good guideline of what you need to
00:15:28
do like hitting level 10 hitting level 50 receive
a black Spirit gift which you will automatically
00:15:35
receive with the um with processing through the
main quests and it'll just help you give some
00:15:40
free stuff as well like a horse everything will
be given to you while completing those quests
00:15:47
and it will also show you what to do next so after
you've hit around level 25 to 30 you will start to
00:15:54
get the narrow gear from the game for free narrow
gear and the beginner black stones that you will
00:15:59
get from the game by progressing through the quest
line and by defeating monsters is actually a type
00:16:06
of equipment that is really easy to enhance it
is the easiest to enhance and you will afterwards
00:16:13
be able to for free switch it over to the tovala
Gear when you fit pen if you want to enhance your
00:16:20
narrow gear just right click on the black Stones
it will automatically put up your enhancement
00:16:26
tab put in the gear that you want and then just
just click through it you will actually be able
00:16:31
to progress through the enhancing very easily
in the Nar gear don't worry if you fail because
00:16:39
you will just push through it easy peasy without
having to think about it after you've made pen now
00:16:51
weapon it will tell you automatically that you can
change it over to Pride Vala gear which you will
00:16:58
convert it's very easy and the prala gear will
actually give you better AP than the Naro gear
00:17:05
like you see here the Naro gear has from AP from
74 to 78 and the tovala gear automatically gives
00:17:11
you the pry one gives the 78 to 87 AP so just hit
convert and do that with every single weapon and
00:17:20
armor that you've got from the narrow gear and
make it into a pen now gear and then convert it
00:17:26
over to tovala gear by grinding in the season you
will afterwards get another typee of blackstones
00:17:31
which is going to be the time fill blackstones
these ones you will actually need to enhance your
00:17:36
tovala gear afterwards that kind of Blackstone
is also going to be useless but don't throw them
00:17:41
away you will need them later on for the next
seasons that you're going to do if you have a
00:17:46
friend and they are higher geared or you are part
of a guild I would really recommend you to ask
00:17:51
them if you can join in one of their grinds and
just lur around and get free experience from them
00:17:58
because they are probably going to be um grinding
in a higher ranked higher AP ranked grinding spot
00:18:05
which will give you more XP and you can passively
get that XP by being just in their party and not
00:18:10
doing anything so if you have some friends that
play the game I would really recommend you to do
00:18:14
that as well it's going to be done very quickly
at level 56 your character will also be able to
00:18:22
get a new type of quest line which is going to be
the Awakening or the succession quest lines these
00:18:27
quest lines is you need to complete to unlock the
full potential of your character and of your class
00:18:34
you find can find the start Quest by opening up
the menu with your black spirit so just open up
00:18:41
the black spirit and on the main quest they
will give you the Awakening quest line like
00:18:47
here it will just say Awakening or succession and
just hit that one and go through the quest line
00:18:53
as over there as well the quest line will bring
you to different kind of grind zones so be sure
00:19:00
to complete all of those grind zones complete the
quest of killing a 100 of those enemies and then
00:19:06
just go back and kill one main boss which is going
to be actually you fighting against your own class
00:19:12
and it's going to just show you what the Awakening
will look like or the succession when you're done
00:19:18
with all of that and you've hit Level 61 on your
character and on your account it's recommended
00:19:25
to really complete the Magnus quest line I know
it's going to going to be a pain it's going to
00:19:29
take a little bit longer because the quest line in
general is a long quest line but you will receive
00:19:35
one free pen arm more of your choice or you can
get a pen weapon of your choice for free the
00:19:42
Magnus quest line takes around 3 to 4 hours but it
does not have any gear requirements and can easily
00:19:48
be completed by new and returning players there
also some great guides out there who will guide
00:19:53
you through the quest lines you will get some
armor and some weapons as well while you are
00:19:58
down in the Magnus the only thing that you need to
have completed is the quest the main story Quest
00:20:06
up to and including Calon and after that you
can complete it it is so highly recommendable
00:20:13
because it gives you several rewards including a
new skill for your class which you can use in the
00:20:19
alvia servers and alvia regions as well it gives
you the ability to fast travel and my my people
00:20:27
I will tell you this will open up New Horizons
for you because fast traveling is going to be
00:20:32
the blessing in disguise in this game because it
takes you ages to go from one region to a next
00:20:37
region it might take you up to like 15 minutes or
half an hour sometimes if you go from one part of
00:20:43
the map to the other part to access this quest
line just be level 61 have completed the main
00:20:49
story Quest up to Calon and then accept it through
the Black Spirit one last tip that I can give you
00:20:56
is when you're starting out of the game your whole
display will be cluttered up with all of different
00:21:02
kinds of notifications that will be popping up
left right noises that will pop up left right so
00:21:08
I want to go through the not the settings that
I have on so that it will not get overwhelming
00:21:14
for you here as well so let's hop into the game
and hit ask and go into our settings and then
00:21:22
go into the general settings and into quality
of life I would really recommend you to have
00:21:27
aim assistant on because it automatically aims at
your Target and the chance of missing it will be
00:21:32
restricted then I would disable anything else if
you want to have the simplified UI on it will just
00:21:40
simplify the interface to display only the most
important features and then you can also which I
00:21:47
really recommend is to autoc call the mount after
the quest complete which is so that even though
00:21:52
you maybe at a different place your Mount will
actually get called to your location after you've
00:21:59
completed the quest then let's go into show hide
I personally don't want to see my my character's
00:22:05
name and my guilt name and stuff like that all
the time so I have you my character name off
00:22:11
so I always hide it I have my HP gge on because
I really like that and I always have the family
00:22:18
name instead of the character name on which you
can choose between whichever you prefer I always
00:22:23
have the family name because it's easier to get
in contact with the family name if it's always the
00:22:29
same the character name it always changes you can
hit display others names show others adventurous
00:22:34
names on or off I don't really want to see them
if I am grinding on my own and I don't do PVP or
00:22:41
I don't don't go out grieving somebody I don't
want to see other people's displays I like the
00:22:46
Stacked HP par so it's stacked and not horizontal
going down into the character section I always
00:22:55
have the own change on it will highlight your
character when ENT ing a safe or a combat zone
00:23:00
so that it just pops up and you know oh I'm in a
safe zone or in a combat zone now I always have
00:23:06
the quest NPC status on as well it highlights
the quest NPC in different colors depending on
00:23:11
your quest and status with them The Amity status
conquer War allies and the war stuff like that is
00:23:17
actually up up to you if you participate in Wars
then I would have them on otherwise I am just a
00:23:23
PVE a PVP PVE eater so I have these off because
it it doesn't really matter to me I always hide
00:23:31
my pets because I don't need to see them running
around and fetching all of my stuff it classes up
00:23:36
the screen a little bit I also hide my fairy but
these are just personal preferences and I put C
00:23:42
Auto campsites because if you are in a grind Zone
and somebody else puts up their Camp you actually
00:23:49
know that the grinding spot is already occupied
for the show hide I have for miscellaneous stuff
00:23:55
I have the hit decisions detections and defense
icons on as well as the M effects if those are
00:24:02
things that you want to know I don't have the
combo video guides on I don't think they are
00:24:06
very useful going down to the alerts I actually
have everything turned off because it cluts off
00:24:14
my screen because these are shared so shared
means that you will see when somebody else
00:24:20
is putting something up on the Central Market
if somebody else is selling something on the
00:24:25
Central Market or have other life skill others
life skills get alert when other adventur re M
00:24:32
master in life skills these clutters up the scream
a lot and so I have everything turned off I only
00:24:38
have the zone change on and the fitness level on
so I get uh alerted when my fitness level gets
00:24:43
up or the zone change when I go into combat or
safety zone since I don't participate in Wars I
00:24:49
also have those off and I just get alerts for the
pre-orders um I have the alert on so that I know
00:24:58
what one of my pre-orders is actually being done
and I received the item mortal dangers causes your
00:25:06
screen borders to turn red and Flash so that you
know oh no [ __ ] I'm in danger I need to get out
00:25:13
of here for the world map I have it on 90° so when
I open my map it's just straight up on the top and
00:25:19
then you can change down here in a miscellaneous
and I have these character interactions Al turned
00:25:27
off and these are just rejection things so it
would automatically reject doels and reject at
00:25:33
rate automatically and stuff like that I have it
all turned off because I don't need them and yeah
00:25:38
