After making a char on the wrong server, with server merge, might finally run into the NeoGAF guild.

I tired playing in the US servers but I noticed a good amount of lag unfortunately. I'll probably stick to the EU one.

Thank you kindly.
Hope you and your buddy have computers that rival los alamos trinity supercomputer.
Me too. I'm in a guild on Uno, but hopefully it will be possible to play with y'all.
Also please come beat up all the ex warrior poets members, we have our share of vile guilds that could use a teaching.

Completely unrelated, anyone go for TET on a blue accessory? Thinking about going for TET red coral earrings, debating what stack to use.
I'm in no position to beat up anyone with my tri gears but I'm sure Vyr is up for it with his mighty warrior wielding dual krea long swords.
Highest accessory I have is duo..after blowing up duo cresent rings, no mas.
Yeah crescents are painful...trying to find a high ap combination of cheaper accessories, they're a real pain in the ass.
I'm a pretty shit tamer, but I will come and cheer for you guys with my support baton during node wars.
Bought a kzarka off market today, just got it to DUO. I've ascended

NA GAF is still active.
Orwen Server. Channel doesn't matter too much since you can change it but mostly operate in calph 1
Been playing it a bit the past few days, trying Wizard and Warrior. Animations are great and the Warrior combat specifically feels good. Big problem is that everything is dying before you can actually get combos going (at least early on) and the questing feels very hands off.
For someone coming from theme park MMOs it's jarring to say the least. I've played some Tera which feels kinda similar in some ways but the BAMs (before they nerfed them) felt like the point. Not sure what that specific thing is here in BDO since the holy trinity doesn't exist and there aren't dungeons to my understanding. Blazing your own trail? Seems like people are more taken in by the professions.

I had no idea there was a cheap package, for 5 I might bite. Did they optimized it a little? When I tried it I suffered frame drops, I don't have a beefy cpu though, i5-2500@3.30

Just started Black Desert. And man, they don't explain shit in this game. So many systems and meters and I have no idea what they do. Knowledge, energy, contribution, nodes, how to move money, conversations, etc. Combat is fun though and it looks pretty!
I went with the starter pack and was perfectly fine. The only thing that is a huge advantageous is the value pack. But you can use in-game Silver to buy it off people. Yes it will cost you around 9.8 million but it is worth every silver. I was able to buy almost a year's worth of value pack just through the market place.
This game can definitely be overwhelming. I remember using this when I started and most of it still rings true. Starter guide
Anyways the combat is the best part of the game for me. I highly enjoy it. Each class are different.
A few things to help you on your journey.
1. Join a guild. If you are on US. Gaf has a guild. We have guild skills that is helpful such as extra HP, Damage, Acc. And points in Life skills such as fishing and gathering. Plus you can ask question and get help.
2. Start your node empire early. Do quest for Contribution exp. Invest early in some type of starch (barley, potato, corn, wheat) to start making beer to feed your workers.
3. Make as much alts as you can. Energy use to have a ton more usage but is still an important resource. You can use it to gather raw material, invest in nodes, check night vendor, trade in for Energy Pots etc. And each char will have the same max energy but will have their own pool that will regenerate over time independently of each other.
4. Do all of the black spirit quest line. It will net you much needed Combat points, and bag Space.
5. AFK Fish. This is a wonderful way to earn some income and resources when AFK. Grab a rod, head to a body of water and just afk fish. When starting off you can only use cheap, low durability rods. But in time you can use higher grades. Or you can invest early in rods such as Balenos Fishing Rod which decrease the time it takes to hook a fish while afk fishing (also does not have a skill lvl requirement)
Do the following for quick funds. Grab any rods you can use. Get a few relic shards. Sell it for 700k+. Use funds to buy a Balenos Fishing Rod which is reusable/repairable.
Before this gets too long, feel free to ask any question you may have if you are in the US server. I am usually on my main Sattari. Ask your question here.
Most importantly. Take it slow and have fun. You will learn very quick everything about BDO is to pace yourself. Speed through it and you will get burnt out fast.
Haven't had a chance to yet, got that 48% dl bs this morning and then had to get to work.
Quick question if anyone knows the answer, I've been playing since CBT but never participated in a node war (only been in two really small guilds), is it possible to fight for another guild as a mercenary? Really want to give it a shot, though I'm sure my gear score and skills aren't really up for the challenge.

Not really, but nothing stops you from just going into a node war channel and fighting. You'll probably be instantly killed if you are solo though. That's why guilds have "sister guilds" and will fight 2v1 against another guild. They don't really have any kind of system set up to apply to be a merc and a guild pays for your services.
Guilds get skill points that they can put into buffs, not all guild will invest into fishing but the NA GAF guild I think has 2 points into fishing. As for how to join, PM/bother Satori.
Some people had there boats/horses moved to a far away stable, and some people logged out on the wrong home server so their nodes are all messed up. All and all it went flawless for me, the biggest thing was having to redo all my workers but I knew that was going to happen.
Looks sooo good ;0~~ She'll be mah main. Hopefully she won't be as useless as valk.

Why is it her basic armor actually looks decent compared to the others? lol.
Maehwa has good looking base armor, even better in grunil and some of the other ingame sets. I'm really like the hair here. As far as customization goes I'd really love more hair options. It is really annoying how limited the styles in game are.
It's not too late. There's usually weekly event so even new comers have a chance to catch up. Link to current event: http://forum.blackdesertonline.com/index.php?/topic/121831-new-world-event-series/
Our gaf guild has two monster players, vyr and questing machine neir, so most guilds don't dare to bother us!
I really appreciate dark knight's jiggle physics. ;0~~~~

Just cause I pretty much try to do every quest doesnt mean I can pvp...
Vyr on the other hand just needs to draw his weapon and people die.
On the other hand how many people actually have instruments, much less two of them lol.
If you want to be the top of the top you need to invest a lot of time, thankfully you can still play/enjoy the game with out being the top of the top. RNG is the biggest issue with the game, you could start the game at the same exact time as someone else, play the same exact amount of time, and whichever of you gets the lucky rolls they will be far ahead of the other.
Lol, can't wait to see what class specific premium outfits they give the dark knight.

Start off questing and then slowly ease back into other aspects of the game.
Tough to say, what do you want to do? Leveling to 56 is a lot easier than whenever you were playing. Getting Liverto's are also a lot easier.
Are you looking for gear advice? Combos? How to make money? Do you like tamer or do you want to try another class? Getting another character to 42 won't take long.

Map for those who want to explore valencia
http://orig03.deviantart.net/a456/f/2016/265/2/8/valencia_spots_guide_by_inochisidarta-daic3gq.jpg
From what I see this is pretty accurate from the parts I explored.

My tamer is level 50 now. Ideally I'd like to continue levelling but I'm unsure how best to gear up for Mediah. I currently have a +10 bares shortsword and a +9 offhand. My total ap is 69
What's your money situation right now? Ideally you would want to buy a liverto off the market place and slowly start getting it to duo. If you don't have a lot of money, you could try taking that bares to duo. The problem with that is there aren't a ton of bares on the market place.
Kalis shortsword would be the cheapest option to get to duo while you work on getting and leveling a liverto. You'll need the accuracy from the kalis since I assume you don't have Bheg's gloves and you'll be fighting mobs higher level than you for awhile. I don't know what offhand you have, but a krea offhand will also be very cheap to upgrade (or maybe even buy outright). You just need some cheap options while you work on getting a liverto, or if you are really lucky a Kzarka.
What kind of accessories do you have? Blue coral rings are a great cheap alternative to Mark of Shadows, and belt of the shultz gladitor is a great cheap belt. If you have a full set of jarrette's it is probably wise to just use that while you get more money.
Now that you are 50 you'll get the daily boss scrolls. Usually people do them in groups when they have 5 of a scroll to do. It is an ok way to get blackstones and possibly boss gear.
AP is more important than DP, but if your DP is too low you'll need a lot of potions in Media.

I'm confused...
AFK fish on iliya to velia ferry
come back to find myself in the water at epheria
what kind of teleporting is going on.

Reminder to anyone that is returning or just joining the game, we do have a GAF guild in NA region that has 10-15 on constantly. If you would like to join just post your family name here or send a whisper to Sattari (Rinzai), Rhydan (Rydrius), Azumba (Jinsei), or Vyrance (Vurtox). Family names are in parentheses.
Anybody from our guild got boss gear from doing these daily boss scrolls? I've been doing this for about 9 months..but have yet to get one!
I know of one person in our guild who got giath's helm opening the bundles from the scroll. Other than that, no. They are still worth while for the blackstones imo. I just do them myself now since they take me no time at all.

I'm not sure about the upgrading but most of the stuff in the more expensive packages are not really worth it imo other than the horse whistle which is a cash shop item.
Hopefully someone can get you a guest pass for you to try the game out with. I would, but I gave all of mine out already. You can wait and see if they do a sale on the game packages for christmas/new years. The $50 one would be good if it was half off.
