Ohh nvm you buy the actual game but get guest passes to give other people trail; meaning getting more players, kinda a winwin for them.

Here's pretty unbiased review of game/first impressions:

P.s. My download says it's 41.60GB yeah my pc aint likely to be handling this aha  

If any of you are serious with Black Desert. Register now, they give you free 7-day pass. And if you reach level 30, I will gift you a permanent access that they offer for Christmas Special. I think I also get a untradeable rare mount for gifting.

You basically use CP to get Lodging housing in cities, each point of Lodging affords you 1 worker. Those workers can make you silver passively by gathering resources from the nodes 24/7. You have to give them beer to replenish their stamina, but cooking beer is one of the best ways to power level cooking anyway so it's fine.

Keep the game running overnight and fish. Get a Balenos Rod (the most durable) and fish at Velia overnight. Connect Velia to Glish (costs a bit of CP) and when you wake up, autorun to Glish and sell all your fish to the Imperial Fish Trader. The ones left over, sell to the basic trader right beside them.

I make about ~3m per AFK fishing run (takes 3–4 hours), but that's with around 50 open inventory slots. Grinding will always be the most efficient way to make money though.

Update on this:
basically got few things working. like connecting all the nodes and having workers working 24/7.

my main char valkyrie is lvl 52 atm, planning to get it to 56. i still haven't sailed once, so i might do that at lvl 56.
my strength, health and the professions are all at beginner's level, so gotta watch those youtube guides for it lol.

i know thallens gonna call me ****** for spending my silvers on costumes instead of gears. but lmfao. i couldn't resist when they were bidding in the market. i spent 10 hours waiting for noel and tyrie to show up lol.

Definitely not optimal, but I'd basically just do whatever keeps you playing the game

Make sure you're collecting your daily attendance reward bonus and rolling Black Spirit's Adventure a few times per day, I'm only 2 days away from getting my day 35 bonus which is at minimum an item that sells for 75m  

yeah, daily attendance really does help. I couldn't make huge progress since I've been working full time, but still lot better than what I started from.

My main character's stat is 101 AP, 190 DP with +15 Rosar, +12 Sub, +15 Agerian armors, 4 AP earrings, 3AP 4DP rings. My ideal goal is 150AP, 150AW, 250DP or something similar. Mind helping me pick out the cheapest gears, but still reach my ideal stat?

I joined 2 guilds since I made a comeback, but the first one kicked me after a week, cause they switched to active PvP guild. The second one I joined is a new guild, it seems alright though.  

Got to 122AP, 82AW 226DP with full-PRIs. Thinking of replacing them to DUO once all of my chars to lvl 56.

as I am playing I just have so many questions and comments that just comes up. I am glad my guildies are nice enough to answer what they already know. Really a benefit of a small guilds, they care about each other.

Bit tired right now since I know I have to do SO MUCH more. I discovered Valencia last night and was freaking out. I might sail to Balenos @ day 19, i believe it's a fishing boat. <my pre-order is taking forever though.

One inescapable conclusion that I came up with is I need to have my PC on 24/7, which I can not lol. But some life skills defo requires tons of AFK or semi-AFK hours.  

is this a sword fighting game?

yes, a medieval themed game.

 

I've never played your class @ Zet, but here's a general gearing guide:

Magoria comes out soon, huge content patch, and a new Attendance Reward event is up  

Yeah I heard Magoria stuff. Dark Knight Class, Tier 9 Unicorn & Pegasus, Medium Sized Ships etc

Btw thanks for the great picture, I've always wondered how people managed to get 200 AP. Obviously I don't gamble with FS. So it's gonna be a long run for me.

My recent gear changes:


I made a mistake of buying Heve/Fortuna set. I just couldn't wait for Grunil to be listed when I was buying them.
I might just give these to my alt and start saving up DUO from the bottom.  

finally got my pre ordered fishing boat and sailed for 4-5 hours today and got sea sick. lmao


i probably won't go back to it for a good amount of time unless i can be able to farm pirates.
next time i will bring a guildie along and just leave him in the island for fun. lol

New Goal for myself:
AP: 122 ->163
-DUO: Blue Coral Earring 22m x 2 (AP:8)(+8)
-DUO: Blue Coral Ring 6.1m x 2 (AP:7)(+2)
-DUO: Shultz Glad Belt 14m (AP:7)(+2)
-TRI: Bares Necklace 2.4m (AP:10)(+4)
-DUO: Liverto Sword 129m (AP:94-98)(+15.5)
-DUO: Axion Shield 56m (AP: 14-27)(+9.5)
-DUO: Schzeriel Lancia 56m (AP:79-88)(+43)
DP: 226 ->222
-DUO: Grunil Helm 51m (DP:60)(+5)
-DUO: Grunil Armor 51m (DP:65)(+5)
-DUO: Grunil Gloves 50m (DP:46)(+5)
-DUO: Grunil Shoes 51m (DP:46)(+5)  

You should have used those 4-5 hours to discover each of the islands to the north if you didn't - you get lots of energy for gathering all that knowledge, I think it's something like +30 total

Getting 100% knowledge in this game is one of the hardest things ever, I'm above 90% and it's an insane grind
Grinding mob knowledge grades to S is even more annoying just because it's RNG, it's worth doing at Pirates though  

Games frikin beautiful but I don't have time for mmos

Yeah, all that 4-5 hours were used for discovering all the nodes from Euraphia to Valencia.
And I did learn about resetting knowledge too, but not at that stage just yet.

My sister was interested with the Character Customization part. So I got her an account, but she quit at lvl 15. So I now have 2 accounts. I made a Kunoichi, Maehwa, Tamer in that account. Gotta say Maehwa def belongs in a top tier and easy control class. I didn't like Kunoichi or Tamer that much.
