Non Season Gear Progression Beginner to End Game Guide 2024 | Black Desert

I really appreciate your channel and making these videos, I am a returning BDO player after not playing for years and I was soooo lost. But your videos really give me a good place to start and guide me through so I can enjoy the game again. Thank you! <3

Is the free tet black start still available @jonlaw98 I just got back in the game

Can you do the black star weapons multiple times? Like if I claimed one from my main sorc could I create another sorc and level it to 61 to get another?

Two Narc earrings can be a very good combination when someone has already replaced the rings with better ones than Crescent. It's very good that PA added the possibility of making a guaranteed second accessory on PEN, it gives cool possibilities of stat combinations for alt characters :)

Great video Jon, some small comments I'd like to make are if you are indeed a new player and just started playing, hold off on Jetina dailies until the overhaul comes out as the dailies are being removed and the accessory is going to be more accessible. Next comment I'd make is that you can't swap the accessory infinitely, you currently can swap it twice but once the overhaul comes you can swap them to a new one a total of 4 times.

Dont take more than one pen capotia from season gifts. You can get 2 pen capotia for free + free pen jetina. More than enough.

Thanks for the Guide just graduated from season with my guardian and im trying to do the jetina quest to get my red nose to pen. the problem i have is that i cannot take any black spirit boss scrolls anymore and i dont know why as i didnt take any this week. any idea why? i need them to get the latent auras for the stones.

Im glad you make these, I usually send them in our guild discord

Even im 700 gs im always watching ur guides it's entertaining that u update ur guides keep up the goodwork

yesterday i was looking for such a video, crazy.

This could not have come at a better time, you read my mind. I dislike my scholar season and wish to reroll, but since Fughar's timepiece isn't in the game, I have to restart from Zero, non-season.

Fantastic information. I always watch these even though im well past it, just in case ive missed something that could help min-max a bit more or for an alt

One thing i would change though is for people who have Pen Capotia Rings, DONT go for the Jetina Pen Crescent Ring. This will only give you a 3 AP upgrade, vs the Capotia/Tuvala Earring -> a Tungrad earring being a 4 AP upgrade.
Later on when you start to transition into using Distortion Earrings, you can convert the Tungrad Earring into a Crescent Ring For Free(With the coming update they said you will be able to convert up to 4 times to free)
Just a bit of minmax!

I would choose Blackstar Awakening weapon than the main hand on the level 61 reward since awakening needs Specter's Energy material which still needs effort to hunt while main hand is easier to get material wise. Accuracy at early to mid game is not really that needed since almost all the mobs you are killing for progression are easily killed. The Narchillan main hand weapon accuracy is enough until you can make or buy your blackstar main hand weapon.

I lost motivation to progress, still at 305/410
I feel like tired only grind dehkia everyday
I feel like playing some mobile games are with friends are more fun
I don't know how to get that excitement back to progress
