Whether you're a new or returning player, here's a general guide to help you navigate the game efficiently. Getting Started Choose Your Class: BDO has over 24 classes, each with unique playstyles. Try a few before committing (e.g., Nova for tankiness, Woosa for magic, or Striker for melee). Season Servers: If you're new, start on a Season Server for accelerated progression (better EXP, rewards, and gear). Main Questline: Follow the main story (up to Balenos Serendia Calpheon Mediah) for essential rewards like inventory slots and gear. Progression & Gear Seasonal Gear: Complete Season Pass for Tuvala Gear (equivalent to PEN Tuvala TET Boss Gear). Upgrading Gear: - Enhancement System: Use Failstacks to increase success chances (lower-tier gear first). - Prioritize: Weapons Armor Accessories. Best Starter Gear: - Weapons: Naru Tuvala Boss Weapons (Kzarka, Dandelion, Kutum/Nouver). - Armor: Tuvala Boss Armor (Dim Tree, Bhegs, etc.). - Accessories: Capotia (Season reward) Asula TRI/TET accessories. Making Silver (Economy) Grinding Spots (Early Endgame): - Early: Pollys Forest, Blood Wolves, Gahaz Bandits. - Midgame: Cadry, Nagas, Centaurs. - Endgame: Orcs, Gyfin, Crypt, Oluns.

Worker Empire: Hire workers to gather materials automatically. Enhancing & Failstacks Basics: - Black Stones for armor/weapons. - Concentrated Stones for higher tiers (PRI-PEN). - Cron Stones (protect enhancement level on failure). Failstack Guide: - 0-20 FS: Reblath armor (cheap fails). - 20-40 FS: Green gear. - 40+ FS: Use for TET/PEN attempts. PvP & Node Wars Gear Matters: 620+ GS (Gear Score) recommended for serious PvP. Node Wars: Guild-based territory battles (T1-T3 nodes for beginners). Arena of Solare: Equalized PvP (no gear advantage). Useful Tips Energy & Contribution: Use Energy for knowledge (NPC dialogue, gathering) and Contribution for nodes/workers. Mounts: Get a T8 Horse (or Dream Horse later). Pets: Essential for loot (get at least T3 pets). Dark Rifts: Free boss fights (good for beginner loot). Jetina PEN Gear: Guaranteed upgrades via quests (great for new players).

Great raids, some bugs

The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
