So, I have updated this guide for the Olvia Academy on all the new stuff that came with it. So, the way we're going to structure this guide is we're going to start from the very beginning, all the way at seasonal, all the way to the end
Speaker A
game. It's not really going to be directed around what you're going to buy next, like buy this, buy this, buy this, because prices do fluctuate and stuff, and there are some considerations you have to take into account. So, this is
Speaker A
more going to be giving you all the knowledge you need to know in order to make those decisions. So, we had to use three full presets in garmat.com because it only limits us to 20 pages on each one. So, this is going to be a pretty
Speaker A
long guide. If you're watching this on YouTube in the future, use the chapters and the timestamps down below in the description. So, you can hop around where you need to be. So, let's kick things off. The first thing we're going
Speaker A
to be doing is talking about the different way I'm structuring this. So, I like to call each section a gate. So, like gate zero, you're just starting the game. That's one. And then you'll go through the first gate, then the second
Speaker A
gate, the third gate. So, that's how I like to split it up. And it's like different eras of your progression. So, it's like a different type of—there's different types of progression activities, considerations you're taking into account and going through
Speaker A
the game. In the beginning, it's not a straight-up grind. It's more you traversing through the game, familiarizing yourself with the different ins and outs. And this game gives you a lot of free stuff, and they've added so many stuff over
Speaker A
the years that it's gotten really bloated because of that bloat. There is required a lot of additional information I need to teach you guys before we're even going into like, "Hey, buy this next, buy this next." So, with that being
Speaker A
said, this is going to be a pretty long guide. Once again, use the timestamps down below. Let's get started here. So, first thing is gate zero. You are a Tvala Timmy. That means you are making your first character. And of course, we
Speaker A
recommend you to start on the seasonal server. In the seasonal server, you have a different set of gear called the Tvala gear. And that is going to be your primary means of progression all the way through the seasonal experience. As you
Speaker A
complete the season pass, and finally at the last step, you can graduate. After you graduate, that's when you can start equipping other gear and stuff. But while you're on the seasonal server, you're only going to be using
Speaker A
Tvala gear. Once upon a time, there used to be something called Naru gear, which has been phased out, and we'd also consider using quest gear, which I no longer recommend you wasting time with. And if you're a brand new
Speaker A
player, you're going to just be going through this main story quest line, and you're going to be hitting your comma button on your keyboard, talking to Black Spirit, and progressing through the quest line there. The Black Spirit's going to give you all the material you
Speaker A
need in order to get your Tvala gear enhanced. So, as you progress through the season pass, and as you progress through the Black Spirit quest, you're going to be getting all the materials that's going to be able to
Speaker A
carry you through enhancing all your Tvala gear. But now, if you're a veteran player or someone who's already played this game and have a little bit of resources on your account, you can use that to your advantage. You can
Speaker A
literally go to the blacksmith in Veia or any town, and while you're on a seasonal server, you can, on your seasonal character, you can go and buy all the seasonal gear from the NPC. So, in order to repair the gear, you can
Speaker A
just buy an infinite amount through the NPC. It's very cheap. And in order to enhance your gear for your accessories, you can just buy an infinite amount there. So, it's very easy to get your gear to full pen. You don't want to get
Speaker A
it all the way to full pen right off the rip. I'm going to explain how you're going to progress Tvala gear, but for example, on one of my characters at level one, I walked her to Veilia. She
Speaker A
turned level two by the time she got there, and I was able to get her full pen Tvala right there in town without even having to do anything. But if you're a new player, follow through the main story quest. Follow what the Black
Speaker A
Spirit's telling you, and it'll guide you through the different areas in the map and give you enough resources such as time-filled fragments, which is used to repair this gear, black stones, which is used to enhance
Speaker A
the gear, all the armors and weapons, and also even concentrated magical black stones. So, magical black stones, which are going to be used to enhance your gear from pry level to pen. So, the enhancement in BDO, it goes from plus
Speaker A
base at zero all the way to plus 15, and then all the way to plus 20, which is called pry, duo, try, tet, and pen in their nomenclature. So, the first thing you're going to do once you start acquiring
Speaker A
your Tvala gear, you can enhance everything to try for free. So essentially, it's just a straight goal. There is some downgrading or failures and stuff in—not downgrading, but failures for your armors and weapons until plus 15. But
Speaker A
it's really easy. They made it so cheap and really high success rate. You barely need to use fail stack. So, I just ran it through, and once you get to pry, you immediately can tap it to try
Speaker A
without any failure. So, once again, concentrated magical black gems are going to be used for enhancing from pry to pen, and you can use those to get them to try. For your accessories, you just slam other base level accessories
Speaker A
into them through the enhancement window, and you can get them to try immediately. Your artifacts, you can get these from talking to your Black Spirit.
Speaker A
You'll get a monster AP artifact and a monster DR artifact immediately. So, from the Black Spirit, you can just put some rage light stones in all of the slots. So, four rage light stones, they're really cheap, and they'll
Speaker A
just give you some base AP to get started with. For your alchemy stone, sometimes these are not available on the market. These destruction spirit stones, you could also use these Takaro spirit stones. They tend to
Speaker A
give those to you in seasonal server. So, if you get those, you can use those instead and just use it at will. It's okay if it runs out. You can't repair it, but you won't need it later. So,
Speaker A
just use it while you have it available, and it's a good upgrade for you. So, this is where you're going to basically start out. This is the starting point and the baseline. In terms of getting your second monster
Speaker A
AP artifact, once you graduate from seasonals, you'll be doing the Olvia Academy, and the Olvia Academy is going to give you two extra monster AP artifacts. So, you'll be able to have two of them without having to go
Speaker A
hunt for those. So, how do you upgrade from Tvala to the next part? So here, I'm not taking you all the way to pen on all the gears because there are some free items that you get in the
Speaker A
seasonal server from the season pass as well as just leveling up on the seasonal server on your seasonal character, rewarded through the season pass, that it's going to fill out the blanks you see here. So, weapons and armors, most of them you can take
Speaker A
straight to pen. I think you get the fail stacks from doing the season pass, and following through your Black Spirit's quest, you'll get the materials to enhance. So, taking everything to pen is pretty good except
Speaker A
leave one item at Tet for your armors and weapons. So, your three weapons, take it to pen. Your other three armor a
Speaker A
you're going to be using. Did I put the name here? No, I didn't. Uh you you're going to be using that stone uh in order to guarantee enhance one weapon or armor from TE to pen. And you'll get the same
Speaker A
stone uh same type of stone for accessories as well. So one of your accessories you're going to take from Tet to Pen for free. So that for that reason you'll keep one armor piece of T and one accessory piece at T. Okay. And
Speaker A
the other accessories you can get to uh other one ring necklace and belt you'll take to pen whenever you can enhance it.
Speaker A
And then keep the other two pieces here. One ring and one earring at try because you're going to get a free uh pen earring and a pen ring as you go through the seasonal pass as you're leveling up
Speaker A
your character. So, um, for that reason, we're going to leave once again one earring and one uh and your helmet at Ted and then one earring and one ring at truck. So, that's the most efficient route to go by. They're giving you all
Speaker A
this free stuff. Let's use it. Right. So, then we go to the final part. How does it look? We'll have our two seasonal. Hopefully, you'll have your second um uh AP artifact. If you don't, don't worry. As soon as you're out of
Speaker A
seasonal, you can go to all the academy and as you progress through the combat route there, you'll get your second uh monster AP artifact. But if you um if you did get it, great. But once you're done with the seasonal pass, this is
Speaker A
what's going to look like. You're going to have all your uh Tvala weapons, armors, and accessories at pen. So that pretty much concludes gate zero. That means you're on the road. You just started your journey and now you're at
Speaker A
your first gate that is going to be graduating from season. So as you graduate from the seasonal uh how does it look? There's a lot of free stuff that you're going to get. You know, um one of the most popular things you're
Speaker A
going to hear about is the free pen black stars. Once upon a time, a pen blackar used to be the best weapon. It used to be the best abyss weapon. Now they're sovereign. So you need multiple pen black stars in order to unlock a
Speaker A
sovereign weapon. The game gives you a total of four pen black stars really easily. I wouldn't say directly free, you know. Uh one of them you get for free. Let's go through the different uh means of getting the um pen black star.
Speaker A
So first one is uh your tovol gear. So once you graduate from season, if you talk to your black spirit, there's a leveling aid, Fugar's aid quest, and then that'll take you to Fugar, and that'll let you start the deck
Speaker A
enhancements for one weapon, one armor, and one accessory. So by enhancing your Tvala uh weapon from deck to from pen to deck, you'll be able to exchange the weapon for a pen blackar selection box.
Speaker A
It can be any weapon. doesn't have to be the same weapon you're trying to go for, but ideally you want to select the same weapon you're going for, right? So, if you're a succession class, you'll want to go with the succession your main hand
Speaker A
weapon. If you're an awakening class, you want to go for your awakening weapon. So, we'll talk a little bit more about that, but basically, your deck weapon will turn into a pen black star.
Speaker A
Your deck accessory will turn into a Tet Karazette, and your deck armor will turn into a tri slumbering origin arm. Now, this isn't free. It does take fail stacks to enhance all the way to deck.
Speaker A
It does cost crownstones. So, this isn't something you're expected to do right off the rip after you graduate, but you should be informed of it. So, as you see here, I have a pen caposa necklace here.
Speaker A
So, the first reward I recommend getting from seasonal as you are leaving the season. So, very early on your season pass, you get the reward to turn to uh turn into fugar and select one of the rewards there for graduation. I
Speaker A
recommend getting the pen caposa necklace immediately. and we'll talk about how to fill out the other pen uh Caposha uh accessories for your different slots here. But the first one, I recommend the necklace to start off.
Speaker A
So, let's go to the next one here. So, we're going to talk about the uh all the different ways to get the pen block start. I thought I had more notes here, man. Guess not. So, let's go over this.
Speaker A
I should remember everything. So, as you graduate and um as you complete the requirements of the game. So, I'm sure I put it here somewhere. Was it here that I put it? Right. So, some of these uh have a different requirements. So, in
Speaker A
your Y tab, once you graduate, you're going to have some free items. There's going to be a T black star and a pen black star. Uh, I believe also a Garmoth heart comes through. You're going to have to be um chat, what is it, level
Speaker A
61? Is level 60 or 61 requirement there. You have to do your main story quest line. Uh, for for the hearts, I think we for the Garmouth heart, I think, uh, you need to, let's see, Garmouth, the free
Speaker A
one, you needed to be level 61 with 200 plus hours in the game and knowledge from Wu by doing the Magnus quest line, right? So along with that you'll have a pen black star, a Tet black star, another your third. So then you can get
Speaker A
a pen black star from your deck weapon and then Olvia Academy gives you another pen blackar selection box and also the guaranteed materials to enhance that Tet black star you had into a pen black star. So in total you're going to get
Speaker A
four not free but easy pen black stars in the game. Now one of the big questions people are going to ask is hey what should I use this for? So like do I go with my main hand and immediately get
Speaker A
a sovereign? you know, you have to combine two pen black stars in order to get a sovereign main hand weapon. You combine two pen black stars to get a sovereign awakening weapon, and you'll need um two pen black stars plus 20,000
Speaker A
caffeon. So, what do we use these for? So, the ideal way to go about it is firstly, you're it's hard to tell a new player at this point to commit to succession or awakening. Me personally, I kept my main
Speaker A
hand, awakening weap main handhand and awakening AP the same all the way to like 275 276 or sorry 375 or 376. So very late game over 800 gear score. And I just kept it the same because I love
Speaker A
playing both awakening and succession classes. When the disparity becomes too big between your main hand AP and your awakening AP, you're going to feel that to be a bit difficult to do. So, in the beginning, if you cannot decide what you
Speaker A
want to do, then it's okay to go triple pen black star with all of the free black stars you get. So, your deck enhancement, your free one you get, the free one you get from Olia. If you do
Speaker A
know what you're going to commit to, and it's very hard for someone at this stage to be committing to any character, any class, let alone the the specialization this early in the game. If you do know what you're committing to, then you can,
Speaker A
you know, do it like uh go sovereign on one. If you're going for like a succession class, you're going to um make this into a sovereign, you can put a Tet Tet weapon, Tet Blackar here for the awakening and keep the next pen
Speaker A
blackar on your sub weapon. And then later you can get another pen black star, make that into a a sovereign. So you can just keep your secondary weapon whether if you're playing succession that'd be your awakening at Tet Blackar.
Speaker A
If you're playing awakening you can keep your main hand at Tet Blackar and you can just really focus into it. But once again it's very hard for a new player when you have over 56 specializations to say commit not not just to one class but
Speaker A
then to only succession or awakening because once you get the disparity in terms of AP, you know, you don't want to go and play your alternate spec when you have much less AP and you're making less money and you're a lot weaker. So once
Speaker A
again to recap there, you're going to get four a total of four easy pen black stars in the game. One from your white tab, a Tet black star from your white tab, then your Olvia Academy will give you a selection box and it's going to
Speaker A
give you an enhancement stone to make that T black star into a pen enhancement material. And then the last one is from your deck tovala conversion. So once again, as I was explaining, you're going to have to decide whether you want to go
Speaker A
full succession or full awakening. If you can't decide, that's okay. Just keep them both at pen. That's okay cuz having a pen black star uh is really good. It gives you a lot of monster AP. So even if you're just going your main going
Speaker A
succession for the time being, but you don't want to commit to having a sovereign, you can keep this as a black star and keep this one as a pen blackster as well. So they can uh give you the passive monster AP bonus. So
Speaker A
here though, if you do want to go for one of the spe specializations and committing to, for example, succession, here we have a sovereign gauntlet. So, with the sovereign gauntlet, uh I'm I have a mystic template here, so that's
Speaker A
why it's a gauntlet. So, eventually you'll want to get it to pen. Getting it to pen is going to be your primary goal.
Speaker A
You don't have to immediately take it to pen as soon as you enhance it, but eventually you want to get to pen and that's going to be a priority cuz it's really good um in in terms of your total
Speaker A
AP. But the main thing you want from sovereign weapons is the additional reforge stone. So, there's a whole preset uh mechanic in the game where you can socket these in and even cycle them out depending on which spot you're at.
Speaker A
But this is basically the DPS load out, the general load out I use. You can replace this uh all damage reduction stone with crit rate stone uh critical hit rate. Uh if you are a class that needs more critical hit rate, so if you
Speaker A
are a death blow class, you can consider doing that. But generally for sovereign uh weapons, you're going to go with black spirit uh rage recovery, critical hit, extra damage, back attack, extra damage, damage reduction, and all AP with the damage reduction being your
Speaker A
flex uh flex stone, which you can change out to critical. So essentially, you don't have to make this decision this early into the game. You just need to be aware of why you have so many pen blockers, why you need so many pen black
Speaker A
stars, and what you need to be thinking towards. So you don't have to make this decision, but it's something you have to keep in the back of your mind. Now guys, let's recap on all the sources of our
Speaker A
pen black stars. Initially before Olvia Academy, we got three black stars for free or cheap methods. That is the pen black star from your Y tab, the Tet black star from your Y tab, and the pen black star by exchanging a deck to Valla
Speaker A
piece of weapon. With the Ovia Academy, we actually got an additional Tet Blackar, a pen blackar, a dark star blackstone, which guarantees the enhancement from Tet to pen for the Tet Blackar. Additionally, we also got 11 obsidian hammers, which is a safe
Speaker A
enhancement, which protects your Tet Blackar from downgrade, and you'll have 11 of those from the Olvia Academy rewards, as well as the event uh currency exchange plus 15,000 crownstones. Now, you might be thinking because of those hammers and the free
Speaker A
crownstones, that adds up to an additional pen blackar. Um, that is not the case here. And I'll tell you why. If you're able to tap in those 11 obsidian hammers, then yes, that is an additional pen blackar. You're taking that previous
Speaker A
T that you got from your Y login rewards and you're taking that to pen. Yes, in that case, if it goes, yes, but you shouldn't use those crownstones straight up to enhance those remaining four attempts. If anything, I would recommend
Speaker A
you to raw tap your pen black star four times from TT to pen and just let it rip because that is a lot cheaper than the crownstones it would cost to tap a pen black star four times. Each tap of a Tet
Speaker A
Blackar to pen with crownstones cost 3,670 crownstones. That's 11 billion silver per tap. And right now on the market, pen black stars are being sold for 25 billion each at the time of recording this video. Eventually, they will go
Speaker A
back up, but you know, it is still a very expensive cost to use crownstones on a pen black star in this day and age.
Speaker A
I would really recommend you use your obsidian hammer 11 times and then for the remaining attempts for your aggressants, raw tap tars from Tet to pen without crownstones cuz that would be cheaper in most cases than using crownstones because that is just an
Speaker A
extremely high cost for crownstones. That is endgame gear level crownstones in this day and age. Next, let's talk about the free Garmott's heart that you get, right? So, Garmott's heart is also an annoying thing to get in this game,
Speaker A
but nowadays they're just sitting on the marketplace for the most part. Um, maybe it's because of a recent event cuz double loot from Garmoth, but when I checked, there were quite a few just sitting there. Otherwise, you have to
Speaker A
pre-order them. By the end game, you're going to want three P three Garmoth hearts to go on each of your sovereign weapons. So, a Garmoth Heart can be added onto an awakening uh weapon just straight up, but it doesn't it's not
Speaker A
able to be added to a main hand pen black star or a black star weapon. You can add it to the awakening black star and the awakening and the subw weapon black stars, but not the main hand. Only
Speaker A
when you make a sovereign main hand, you can add a pen uh you can add a Garmoth heart to it. So, in this example, I'm going succession. So, with the free Garmmoth heart, it's going to go on my
Speaker A
success on on the main hand weapon. If I'm going awakening, then it's going to go on my awakening weapon. By putting it on the awakening weapon, it gives you two extra crystal slots. And that's huge. So, these crystal slots are pretty
Speaker A
big in terms of power. If you do go your main hand, right, and you have a sovereign and you put the black and the Garmoth heart on the sovereign weapon, what you're going to do for your awakening weapon is you're going to buy
Speaker A
a Karandas heart. A corand's heart. A corand's heart is something you get from Stormbringer Karanda. It's a world boss.
Speaker A
Uh Kar is a world boss which sometimes can be spawned as the higher variant.
Speaker A
that Stormbbringer corand. You can buy these pretty easily off the marketplace. Put in a pre-order if for whatever reason it's missing. They're pretty common. So, what is what this is going to do is it's going to give you that
Speaker A
extra critical hit damage as well as give you one crystal slot. Better than nothing. So, yeah, it's not as good as the Garma, but you know, you're only missing one crystal slot at that point.
Speaker A
So, you're going to put the Stormbbringer, you're going to turn your awakening weapon into Stormbbringer if you put your Garmouth heart here on your main hand. If you are going awakening, you can put the Garmouth heart right here on your awakening weapon. And for
Speaker A
your sub weapon, you're going to put the Cudum's heart on it. So instead of a Garmmoth heart, the lower variant is the Kudum's heart, which it gives you a lot of health. It's 585 HP right there.
Speaker A
That's pretty big. It's not as much as the Garmoth, but it's still better than nothing. It's really cheap, and you can put it on your uh Black Star subw weapon. So that's what you need to know about the hearts. You're going to get
Speaker A
one free Garmouth heart. There's also another way to get a guaranteed Garmoth heart uh through a long progression. You can look up a guide for it. Um, I would recommend starting it if you're on a region where Garmoth Hearts are on
Speaker A
pre-order. So, just check and see how many pre-orders are there. Right now on NA, you know, it's it's pretty uh it's pretty abundant when I checked. But yeah, there was a lot of Garmouth hearts just sitting there. So, on NA, it wasn't
Speaker A
an issue. But if it is an issue for you guys, you should consider doing it. It is a long process and it is waste a waste of time in my opinion. It's not money efficient, but it is efficient if
Speaker A
you had to wait like multiple weeks or months for a pre-order to come in. I know Vel's heart is something that is in high demand. So, there is a lot of competition and pre-orders there. Okay, so we talked about the uh pen black
Speaker A
stars. Now, the heart and let's talk let's pivot back to um the deck tovala.
Speaker A
So, the first one, the deck weapon is turning into a pen blackar. The deck armor is going to turn into a tri slumbering origin armor. So, those are a high variant of gear that looks like this. And getting your armor to deck,
Speaker A
it'll let you exchange for a summer armor. So, here we chose the tri fallen gods armor. So, that's one that's the one I would recommend you go for. I think it's pretty straightforward there.
Speaker A
Um, so yeah. Uh, looks like I did uh put a note here. It takes around 6,000 crownstones. I think it was like 5 to 6,000 going for um from pen towala to deck towala. Not sure if that's uh still
Speaker A
the case. if anything's changed. You do get a lot of crownstones from events. Uh, a crownstone is worth 3 million silver each. So, it does look a bit daunting, but you do get a lot of them from events like the Olia Academy right
Speaker A
now, the login rewards. There's also the uh codes that you can find on garmoth.com of the ball events that they had where they gave out like 10,000 crownstones and stuff. So, there's a lot of crownstones just given out. I
Speaker A
wouldn't find this too daunting as a new player. Just make sure you use those in the right places. So, you know, you don't have to go for this right off the rip. I'm just explaining how to get it.
Speaker A
We're going to talk about when you go for what afterwards, but you need to be aware of all these uh things because you don't want to accidentally get to a point where you need a slumbering origin armor and you go and enhance like four
Speaker A
pieces yourself or buy four pieces yourself when you can get one much cheaper. So, the next one here, next top is is going to be the caposas. So, recently there was an event which gave us really easy access to caposas with
Speaker A
the last season. That's ended, but let's talk about the basic ways to get your caposhia accessories. the first one you're going to get, as I explained earlier, the necklace you're going to get from your first season reward. Then
Speaker A
you can make an immediate second seasonal character cuz you'll have multiple uh season passes and make a a second one getting it to like level 10 or something very early on in the seasonal pass. You get the reward um the
Speaker A
exchange uh certificate for the reward. So, you can take that on your main, go exchange it again, and get your second Caposha piece. So, let's talk about the other two. So, the first one I picked, the necklace, the second one, a ring,
Speaker A
the third one. Okay, so you're going to need items to enhance your Tvala access or your Caposhia accessory. So there's a few way to get these. These are dreamy crystals of balance. There's two means to get this. The one number one u one is
Speaker A
going to be from AFK fishing in a general town like Veilia. I have an AFK fishing guide. Go check it out if you need help on getting started there. But if you AFK fish in Veia, get plump silic. This might be one of those things
Speaker A
that I actually open up the game to just show you straight up. We are AFK fishing here in Veia. You know, you go to manage currency on top and then there's these uh fish called a plump silicon. And
Speaker A
here, this is a familywide turnin. You can only do it once, but it gives you 21 of these. And that's enough to take an accessory from try to pen, a caposhia accessory from try to pen, guaranteed.
Speaker A
So, it's really easy to do this with like a very minimal setup. You don't need any mastery in order to do this.
Speaker A
You'll these will add up. It's just AFK activity. So, this is one way to do it.
Speaker A
Now, coming back to here, let's see what we need to do. So you get the dreamy crystal of balance from there. Whoops.
Speaker A
And then you need a ring in order to enhance it. So once you get your character to level 62, you'll get a free one from your Y tab. So from your rewards tab. So you can take that and
Speaker A
you can throw these dreamy crystal of balance into it. You'll have a uh pen caposa ring. So that's your second ring.
Speaker A
And then for your last one on your Y tab, you're going to automatically start these um this one login reward track where every day you log in, you're going to get a dreamy crystal balance and it'll take you 21 days to get 21 of
Speaker A
them. And with that, you can take a belt or any Kapusha accessory from try a pen.
Speaker A
I recommend a belt. You'll get a belt as a level 60 reward. And um you can even use a fishing the ones you get from fishing on the belt and then you know vice versa after you get to level 62.
Speaker A
You can get the ring and um use these instead. So uh I just assume that um you'll get to level 60 before you get to 62, right? So that's why I booked these two together. You could probably change
Speaker A
the number of this, but anyway, the four that you're going to be aiming for is like this. The two of them are from the season pass. One is from AFK fishing in town and one is from your login reward
Speaker A
on your wide tab. Okay, so that's how it's going to look. We left these two blank because the caposhia earring, it doesn't give you more uh AP than your Tvala earring. That's just going to stay static. What it does give you is eight
Speaker A
more DP, which isn't really necessary. There's other alternatives you can do instead. So, I primarily focus on these.
Speaker A
So, you don't need six caposas. You just need uh the two the four. So, let's change this one back for the time being and let's go. All right. Next, let's talk about the pen boss gear. So, there have been quests like for example in
Speaker A
recent times um I have personally like three pen boss gear selection boxes. So, let's see right here. So, in sometimes during seasonal events uh as a part of a new season era, they're going to give you some uh quests like for example, get
Speaker A
to level 60 and you get two pen uh boss selection, you know, a pen boss gear selection boxes. So, this has happened several times. Right now, I don't think there's anything as such uh active right now. I'm not sure, but in case there
Speaker A
isn't, uh, I'll tell you what you should be doing to get it. So, getting your pen boss gear. Oh my god, I'm just messing up my fishing here. It's pretty cheap nowadays. You know, boss gear isn't that very high demand as it used to be. Um,
Speaker A
so here's what you're going to be doing to get. So, doing your Magnus quest line, you're going to get a selection box guaranteed on the final almost final quest there. So, that's going to be one of them. So, as I said, last season we
Speaker A
had uh getting to level 60 uh you get you got two of those boxes. That's that might not be the case anymore, but just keep your eye out in case there is such uh events going on. But otherwise, I
Speaker A
would recommend you buy uh orgon and then griffins. I would recommend you use your Magnus box for your beg. So, you need three pen boss gears to fill in your slots because the fourth slot, your chest piece, you're going to be getting
Speaker A
the trifallen god armor by enhancing your tvala penttovala armor to deck. So you need three boxes. One you're getting from Magnus or sorry you need three boss gear. One you get from Magnus through the box and then two you're going to
Speaker A
buy. So you're going to buy Urggons and then you're going to buy the griffin. So there is a guaranteed enhancement system that used to be a intermediary catchup mechanic back in the day. Right now it's probably not efficient just because how
Speaker A
cheap the boss gear are. Once upon a time each of these boss gears were like 10 15 bill each, you know, in the high-end, right? So nowadays it's a lot cheaper. For example, let me show you the Griffin helmet at Tet. What are you
Speaker A
looking at? Sorry, at pen, it's like three bill, you know, it's really cheap. Less than three bill you can put in a pre-order. Then you have Urgon at pen, you're looking not even one bill. So it's stupidly cheap now. Once upon a
Speaker A
time, this used to cost 10, 13 bill or even higher. So for that reason, that guaranteed penettina system is just not in an efficient way to use your money.
Speaker A
Anyway, whatever may be the case in terms of the events going on, any freebies, those are just some ways to get it. Um, do whatever's the cheapest.
Speaker A
That's what I'll say. Let's now let's pivot to cups. So, cups are things that you can add onto your accessories and that'll modify their stats. So, like there's this one cup, the clouded one, which gives you more HP on your ring.
Speaker A
Um, the starlet one gives you more critical hit damage. Uh, these are legacy item. You don't need to worry about them anymore. You're going to be progressing so quickly that it's not going to make the difference. Like, putting it on on here and extracting
Speaker A
them is a bit of a pain. So I straight up say ignore them until you get to carads or even the tbo stage where you're saving up for pen deboss. We'll talk about those different scenarios and routes later. But for now in the early
Speaker A
stages, you can ignore cups. You don't need to put them on your transitionary accessory. Now let's see. Let's go through my notes here. So don't worry until you're at karaads. You get one free gar from the white tab. I explained
Speaker A
this one. So it's going to go on your main main specialization weapon. If you're going succession and you have sovereign on your uh main hand, you put the Garmoth Heart there. If not, it goes on your awakening web. Okay? And
Speaker A
definitely start the guaranteed Garmoth Heart quest line uh so you can get it over time if Garmoth Hearts are very expensive on your server or on high pre-orders. Right now, there was recently an event, so I think there's
Speaker A
been a abundancy of Garmoth Hearts. So, it shouldn't be the case here for NA and EU. I don't know about EU. I haven't checked. All right. Next thing to note is your um additional AP and DP you get
Speaker A
from your uh logs and quests. So the adventure logs are something that you're going to be doing just once and once you're done you don't have to worry about them on any character. It's familywide. They are annoying to do. You
Speaker A
know, you have to go out and do questing sort of activities. But once it's done, it's done and it gives you flat AP and DP to your character. So it is important that you do all of these and get all the
Speaker A
different stats here. So let's take a look at the notes here. So here are the ones you need to here are the logs you need to do in order for AP and DP.
Speaker A
Iiggore Bartali log is a really good one because it gives you 6 AP and 6 DP. Once upon a time all that AP and DP was spread across different logs and journals and it was a lot longer process
Speaker A
where they consolidated and uh optimized everything. So you get all those rewards from Igar Bartal log itself and the other logs gave um you know just some additional rewards, cosmetics, pets, you know titles, those kind of things. So
Speaker A
right now Igigar Bartal log is the primary one. Then Zarka, Barrier of Infestation, that gives you one AP and DP. It takes a few weeks to do, I believe, but that's also an important one. You need to just get started and
Speaker A
start doing it ASAP. Then the 10th anniversary log also gives you one AP and DP as well. Then for the quest, for the main story quest line for Kasilia Sylvia for completing it, you you get a quest that gives you one DP there. For
Speaker A
Odolita, you get a main story quest line completed. You'll get a quest to get one AP. And the line of the morning light main story quest line, those are long and it's a bit of a slog. It was a pain,
Speaker A
but it's super important to do because you get one AP and DP there as well, as well as unlock two of the crystal slots.
Speaker A
So, two of the crystal slots, I believe, are locked here. Uh, these bottom two ones are from Land of the Morning Light.
Speaker A
And also, by doing the logs there, no longer time gated. Zarka is no longer time gated. You can do it in one week.
Speaker A
Okay, correction there. Then, Zarka barrier infestation is no longer time gated. Thanks, guys. So, you can just do it right off the rip. Good. So, yeah, Land of the Morning Light is very goated. That quest line is long, but you
Speaker A
get crystal slots, you get um AP and DP, and also there's a log there for land of morning light. Is this still the case, guys? The 20 accuracy you get from those easy logs? Cuz if that's the case,
Speaker A
that's also pretty nice. I'm not sure if they merged it into other ones. All right, next. Let's talk about the alchemy stone. So, there's the simple one. The easiest one to get is Ator's power stone. So, this one is from the
Speaker A
Ulikita main story quest line. You don't have to do all the previous main story quest lines of different regions. I think you can just run to Ulikita and start this one. The final reward is that Ator's power stone, which is one AP to
Speaker A
your sheet AP, which is pretty big. You can use the destruction ones, the spirit stones that you can get from the marketplace or from grinding at some Kama Sylvia spots, but these have been on pre-order for a long time. It's been
Speaker A
sold out. Not many people are grinding in those spots anymore, so supply is low. So, just as a starting stone, this is a good one uh to get. But if you have a guild, you'd ideally want to start
Speaker A
working towards a consart. Uh, that one is going to be a good intermediary because Vel's Heart has been notoriously difficult to pre-order on NA at least.
Speaker A
If I show you here, you'll see there's hundreds of pre-orders on both the Vel's heart and the concentrated magic from the world boss twice a week out in the ocean. You get a small percentage chance of getting Vell's concentrated magic.
Speaker A
You can convert that into the actual Vel's heart. Um, you have to combine it with some materials here. You can look it up. But the problem is there's a lot of pre-orders on this. Right now there's over 427 at peak price for the heart
Speaker A
alone. Then for the concentrated magic also 300. So it does take time to get it. You have to be lucky. You have to go to those wells every twice a week. Maybe you might get it as a main drop or
Speaker A
you'll eventually get it as a pre-order but it is very difficult and rare to get. So for that reason Khan's heart recently, you know, oh this has gotten buffed to a point where it's two sheet AP and you know you can get it
Speaker A
relatively easily. You just need to have a guild that does con. And you know, I recommend joining an active guild which does the activities that you need. You know, doing those weekly guild bosses is goated. I just from doing those four
Speaker A
guild bosses, I get four billion cash. If you do cons total of five bill as well as progress thing towards your consart. So look up look up a guide on that. Just make sure you go and join an
Speaker A
active guild. It's going to really change your experience in BD and your progression. Those guild bosses are so easy. Takes like 20 30 minutes to do four of those excluding con and you get like 4 billion liquid silver almost. So
Speaker A
it's like really good. So for that reason you want to aim towards getting a cons heart. Now let's take a really quick look at the market here for cons right. So buying a cons heart is much easier expensive but at the same time
Speaker A
you can resell it eventually once you do get your get your Vel's heart right. So either you join a guild and do cons and in a few weeks two or three weeks you'll get your own consart or you can just buy
Speaker A
one. So that's the story of alchemy stone. So once again power stone if you don't have cons then work your way towards consart. Get your pre-order for Vells. Keep going to Vel's twice a week if you have the time and you can make it
Speaker A
or put up your pre-orders and get lucky. Either way, it's RNG. Unfortunately, if you're on console though, they just give it to you for free cuz they didn't have Vells for so such a long time. So, hey, console W right there. Honestly, they
Speaker A
should have added vell to academy. I'm saying. All right, let's get on to the next point. Now, the last one is for new players who are less than 60 days of game time in. That is 1,440 hours. You
Speaker A
have access to 10 billion liquid silver for doing some simple activities that everyone needs to do anyway. So, this is this is a link here um that'll take you to the guide. Let's actually open this up. I think this will be the easiest.
Speaker A
Yeah, give me this. All right. Flashbang. Right now, this is not in dark mode. Uh let me try to force it.
Speaker A
Okay, I forced it into dark mode. Okay, we're good. So, this was uh added um last year in July. So, this should still be going on. I don't think this was a temporary thing. I think it's just something that's there to help newer
Speaker A
players. Okay. So, in order to qualify, you need to be 60 days or less. Uh so, 60 days or less from starting the game.
Speaker A
So, if a new player is benefits activated, you'll see this icon displayed on the top of your screen. So, you should be that should give you an indication if you can do this. You can get 10 billion silver for doing. So,
Speaker A
here are the requirements to do these. So, there's two sets of requirements. I think what happened was if you logged in between uh July 2nd and 10th uh maintenance, your requirements are different. I don't know why, but whichever it is, you'll you'll be able
Speaker A
to see when you start doing it on your end. Uh it's not going to be crypted. It should straight up tell you what you need to be doing. So, you can get a total of 2 billion. You you get a total
Speaker A
of 2 billion silver for each of these activities. All right. So, doing each of these steps will give you two bill 2 billion silver. So whether you're on this track or this track, it'll depend on if you logged in at a specific time
Speaker A
or something. But if you are on this track, this is completing Igger Bartali's advent adventure logs. You need to do those anyway. So definitely do that. MSQ, so you don't need to do all of them. You can just do one of
Speaker A
them, one of the main tracks. So there's the main track that you started at ancient stone chamber and all the way through the uh Madia quest line. Then there's the one that if you started in Mountain of Eternal Winter and you're on
Speaker A
the uh ever everrost main quest line, that's that one. And then there's the one from Line of the Morning Light. So any of those, if you finish all the way through, you'll qualify for this. Then there's the Magnus quest line. You know,
Speaker A
this one is also one of those that will take a little bit of time to do, but knocking that out is also good cuz you're going to be needing to do that for your pen boss gear anyway. And then
Speaker A
these two are 50 hours of play time and 100 hours of play time. So that's just a time thing. If you're on this other track, it's a bit more simplified.
Speaker A
getting to level 61, finishing up the main story quest line, finishing up the Magnus, 50 hours of play time, and lastly, graduating your season character, which you're going to be doing anyway. So, what are you going to do with this 10 billion silver? You now
Speaker A
have that newfound wealth. The best thing to do is getting your Kabasa uh artifacts. Kabooas is massive. These are one of the some of the best artifacts in the game, and they give you giga amount of stats for PvE. Each one of Kabooas
Speaker A
you get 100 HP but main thing 20 monster damage redu for each one and then seven AP and 75 stamina. Combine them together that's 40 monster damage reduction, 14 monster AP. That is massive in terms of stats. When they added this in those
Speaker A
spots that used to really hurt us and make it really difficult for uh some of the best for PvE. Yeah, they used to be really difficult to grind in some spots once you got kabooas it became cheese.
Speaker A
So these are super important and it'll allow you to focus more on your AP and progressing to new spots. So with 10 bill silver that's one of the best ways to use that 10 bill or you can do it by
Speaker A
any other means just by grinding just saving up. Now one thing to remember is there is the pity pieces for kabooas which you combine and there is the main drop right so the pity pieces now there they seem to be suddenly in massive
Speaker A
demand. Used to be just sitting here for like 45 mil each. Now they're in big demand. You need a hundred of these to make a kabooas. So look at the price difference. The main drop is all the way
Speaker A
at 8 bill something. So unless you're if you're buying the pennies cheaper than 80 mil each, then it's better to get to 100 pies by pre-ordering them, you know, or just buying them off the market if they're sitting there than going
Speaker A
directly to the Kabooa. So do whatever is cheaper, but that is a good investment for your for your free 10 bill you're getting. You know, once upon a time they were sitting at like literally 45 melea each. So you were
Speaker A
able to get two artifacts for that amount of money. Times have changed and but these do fluctuate. All right, moving on. That pretty much concludes our gate one. So, you got through the first gate of graduating from season and
Speaker A
these are all the free things, easy to get gear and freebies that you need to take into consideration and work towards. So, it's not going to be a direct just grind, get silver, and get new gear. There's a lot of little side
Speaker A
uh activities you need to do in order to get all the stuff. So, what happens after you get past the stage? Once you understand all the freebies, you don't need to get all of these right now. You don't have to get all your pen black
Speaker A
stars. You don't have to get a sovereign. You can be at three pen black stars whether even if one of them is at a tet, but it's just for you to know when do you choose. How do you choose?
Speaker A
Are you going for main hand or awakening? Oh, there is one thing I forgot to mention here. I think I got a list of classes here, right? Yeah. So, there are some ascension classes in the game. That means they don't have a main
Speaker A
hand. Uh they don't have succession or awakening as traditionally we see, but these have their own track. For example, Shai, she doesn't have an awakening weapon traditionally as we know it. She has an Artina soul, which is a pain in
Speaker A
the ass. I don't know why they don't let regular awakening weapons take that slot, but it doesn't. So, there's also other classes, scholar, Wukong, dead eyee, Saraf. So, all of these classes, I put them under the section of
Speaker A
succession. That means you need your main hand. So, if you're going to main one of these classes, then you want to get your you want to prioritize your main hand AP. That means when you're going for your first sovereign, you're
Speaker A
going to go for your main hand sovereign first. Then there's archer. He's the special one in all these classes. He is the one that you're going to be prioritizing your awakening weap. But for all the other classes, you know,
Speaker A
it's dependent on the spec you're playing. So if you're playing a succession witch, your main hand gets it accounts for 70% of your damage. Your off your awakening weapon counts for 30%. So it does, you know, require you
Speaker A
to keep progressing your awakening weapon as well, but it's only 30% of your total damage where your main hand is 70%. For a shai because she's a special class which doesn't have an actual awakening weapon. I think it's
Speaker A
100% straight off the rip from your main hand. But for the others, they also follow the same kind of split, but most of their damage is coming from their main hand weapon skill. Whereas archer, most of his damage comes from his
Speaker A
greater his uh great bow, which is uh his awakening weapon. And uh just to uh keep note, once you do if you do commit to any of these classes and you are going for a sovereign weapon, it takes
Speaker A
about 10,000 to 15,000 crown. It's RNG, man. I'm sure there's the number of actual uh amount of crownstones you need, but generally it takes around that much to get from uh base to pen. You go to up to try usually. I think a duo or
Speaker A
try you're going to just rip it without crownstones. Then going to tent and pen, you're going to be using crownstones.
Speaker A
Okay. Now, once you are done with all the freebies of the easy stuff, let's talk about the next gate. You're going to be passing through gate number two.
Speaker A
So, now you're going to actually start this going to slow down on your progression because you're not getting a bunch of free stuff or easy to get stuff. Now you're actually going out and working for your gear. So let's start
Speaker A
with this one. This is where the grind begin. So let's say you did get all the freebies, you know, that I mentioned and talked about. The only thing that's missing is the Kazad. The reason why we didn't get the T karisad, it is just a
Speaker A
little bit of a AP spike, but I'm not sure if you want to go the route of Kerazadi. It does cost money like in order to make cuz you are enhancing that deck, the pen tvalla accessory to deck.
Speaker A
So it does cost crownstones and those are valuable. So for that reason, I didn't recommend it yet. But these are two guaranteed things you are going to do. Your black star from your deco detovala enhancement and your armor. So
Speaker A
let's say you get to this point. You're around this gear score over 650 gear score now if you did all your journals and logs and everything. So let's take a look at the different grind spots. So how grind spots work now is they put AP
Speaker A
caps on. There's always been AP caps, but before they were pretty generous that even if you overgeeared the spot, you're getting stronger and stronger and you're clearing it faster and faster. I think it was like 30 or 35% soft cap
Speaker A
back in the day. Okay, so like after you got past that AP cap, you know, your AP is still effective to 30%. Now it's nerfed all the way down to 5%. So if you got 100 more AP than the spot requires,
Speaker A
you only get five additional effective AP at that spot. So for that reason, it's pigeon holing us into specific grind spots based on our AP. So for example, if you have, let's say, around 800 uh total AP, and in order to see
Speaker A
that AP, you're going to go to your equipment slot. You're going to hit this button here, and it's going to display your total AP. So right now my total AP on this Fisher which has negative sheet AP is actually 52. So you'll also see it
Speaker A
on the top here. And you can also set it here for the specific species you're fighting. So if you're fighting uh demihumans, you can select that. If you're fighting humans, you can select that. Kasia any. So it'll give you a
Speaker A
precise idea of where your AP total AP lands. Make sure you include your consumables, your crystals, your class AP buffs, uh and all of that. And then you'll be able to see which spot you're going to be grinding at, which is going
Speaker A
to be efficient for your current bracket. So here I just put a list down of all the spots that I recommend grinding at the specific and their respective AP cap. When you're new to the game as a seasonal player, Gahas
Speaker A
Bandits is a really good spot for money. I mean, there's a lot of spots you can be grinding, but I'm just talking about the ones I mostly recommend. I recommend Cortuga because it's a nice aesthetic.
Speaker A
It's your first introduction to BDO, and it also drops a a big variety of artifacts. Then swamp fogans is probably your best bet for money. Once you're at the full pentavala plus and um after you graduated, you're going to get a lot of
Speaker A
free easy AP. You can get to like swamp fogans 803 AP. Then orc camp 856 AP, Hongum base 950 AP, Jade for Jade Starlight forest 950 AP. Then there's a bit of a jump to the next one recommended spot cuz people usually sit
Speaker A
at Hongland for a long time. Then Hex Sanctuary is uh 1130 AP. After that, Izzered Highlands in Ulikidia that's 1180 AP. Quint Hill. That's an alternative spot for classes which don't have high mobility or high AOE grinding.
Speaker A
They're more single target, small AoE focused classes. That's uh Quint Hill. That's a 1295 AP total AP cap. Tongrad ruins. Then after that, you're getting to the region of um Ulikita and it's a bit big jump cuz like a lot of people
Speaker A
stay at Hex or Yazerid all the way till they get to Tongrad Ruins and that's like 39 1395 AP. Dark Seekers after that 1490. Decia Ashforce 2,540. But Darksekers is the goated spot. you can actually stay here perpetually until
Speaker A
you're at Adania. And finally, Orzekia 1595 AP. So, these numbers are pretty big, but it doesn't mean you need to be at like this specific number in order to go grind there. You can be 50, 60, 70 AP
Speaker A
below and still go grind there. It depends on you as a player, how skilled you are at your class, how your class specifically performs at a certain individual grind spot. Some are more pack-to- pack oriented. Some have bigger
Speaker A
AoE. Some are quicker on their cooldowns. And depending on the layout and the distance of the mobs and pack, they might line up a lot better than other classes. So, there's a lot of factors that go into it, but you're
Speaker A
going to be event essentially be progressing from one spot to another. And as your gear improves, you're going to be going to the next spot. But you got to decide, hey, am I going to be uh working on my AP or am I going to be
Speaker A
working on my DP? So, that's where the question between accessories versus armors comes up. So, do you need more DP in order to comfortably and safely grind at your current spot or need more DP in order to get to the next best spot for
Speaker A
you? Then you're going to have to improve your armors and your DP. Or if you are comfortable at your current spot, but you want to grind faster and you don't have enough AP yet to go to the next spot or even cap out at the
Speaker A
current spot, then you're going to focus on the AP. So, it's not a matter of, okay, here now you have to buy your next helmet, then you want to upgrade your ring, then you want to upgrade your belt. It's not going to be like that cuz
Speaker A
it's really different for each individual player. How well you play at a pl certain grind spot, how well you play your class depending on a lot of factors. It's going to be the case. So, it really depends on where is less money
Speaker A
than hex since the flame uh tanked and doesn't sell at all. Plus, hex uh just sucks outside of Marne. Depends depends depends like some classes like let's say you don't have any um any aggress ignoring is highlands. But you know when
Speaker A
it when Agris is there you know some CL some spots do outperform others. So there is a bit of a deviation there but Ziri and Hex and also it's a matter of like change of scenery right if you're
Speaker A
stuck at a single grind spot for 100 hours you're going to be bored as [ __ ] you're going to get burnt out like me I I go from Tennibum Orbida Dark Seekers even now even though I am at like over
Speaker A
1,800 total AP I still variate it even with my minimal amount of grinding just on the weekend. So it it there's a lot of things to take into consideration.
Speaker A
It's not just this, it's not just cut and dry. Okay, this is your next step, but you need to understand the reasonings for uh how you go from one uh upgrade to the next. And it's dependent on the grind spot, and it's dependent on
Speaker A
what upgrade is going to get you the most amount of money going forward. That's what it's all about. Then the next step we're going to talk about is um your armors. Once upon a time, getting everything to duo and then to
Speaker A
try was important. Getting to full tet was important back in the day. But also back then tet sovereign sorry tet slumbering origin armors that is these four pieces of armors the labresca helmet falling god armor dons glove and
Speaker A
a horseshoe these are called slumbering origin armor. They're in that category of that type of gear. Once upon a time there were abyss gear and getting them all to tet was the best thing to do. So the next best thing was getting to try.
Speaker A
Now it's not the case. After they did did the change of AP brackets last year in the summer. A lot of the spots that used to hurt us back then going to Orzekia going to Decia Ash force 2
Speaker A
without try slumbering origin armor you would get screwed like you would get blasted. Now it's not the case. They hit a lot less and even if you just have duos you're you're chilling. Okay. So it's gotten a lot different and a lot
Speaker A
easier to grind in a lot of these spots. So going for the tries is not necessary.
Speaker A
Personally, I think it's, you know, you can just hang on to these duos plus that one try you get from doing the deck to VA armor enhancement and exchanging it for a try summary origin armor. That should be the only piece. If you want to
Speaker A
get more DP for whatever reason and you need that DP, there are ways to do this.
Speaker A
All right, so you can just straight up you can enhance your way or you can buy it. Buying is the way to go now. In order to get a slumbering origin armor, previously you had to get the pen boss
Speaker A
gear, get it to C10, get the flame, the associated flame. For example, if you're going for labresa helmet, you needed a griffins at C10, and then you had to get the flame of frost and go to the NPC and
Speaker A
exchange it and make the labresca base helmet. But looking at the prices right now, this is what we're looking at. On NA, you need 7,224 caffers in order to get a C10 U Griffin helmet. And on NA, with the current prices of Caffas,
Speaker A
that's 19.5 bill. And then it's going to cost you some in order to enhance it from base to duo and you're going to have to repair it as you fail. So in total it's going to be pretty expensive
Speaker A
going from getting the flame. Oh the additional cost of the flame then getting the base summer argent armor to duo it's expensive. So just buying it all the labresca at dons they're all within 20 to 22 build. So it's a lot
Speaker A
more economical to buy. And if you are for whatever reason going for those tries, if you just need that more AP, if you need for some PvP purposes, buying a try slumbering origin armor, they're all 42 to 44 bill. So you can get the duos
Speaker A
eventually sell them, resell them, and then buy the tries. I think you can just sit at duos for a very long time and not need it for PvE. In PvE purposes, I say just buy the duo. So that's the
Speaker A
difference uh between the tries and the whether you're going for try and uh if you're making your own slumbering origin armor, it's not worth it right now with the price of calf. Just buying duos is the way to go. Now let's talk about
Speaker A
accessories. So here's one thing that people hate when I say I recommend people to just buy some easy accessories like Tet Distos. They used to be really dirt cheap and just use those as intermediary. Just get that 10 AP and go
Speaker A
grind in peace cuz they are something that you can just resell. They're usually just sitting there. Let's check on NA right now. Distos. They're usually just sitting there. And for a long time, they're actually sub 10 bill like all
Speaker A
dipping all the way down to like seven bill. So, they're really cheap. Now, people will say, "Hey, just make penarads. They're you get all these free crownstones and uh it's really cheap to make the pen carats. It's almost free."
Speaker A
Well, it's not free. You're getting those crownstones for free. Sure, but those are your resources. Why throw them into something that you might not want to progress? You might not want to go the route of enhancing kerazat. you
Speaker A
might want to buy Ted Debbos down the line and then eventually buy Pendeo. So throwing away even if it's just 20,000 crownstones you got for free into something that's going to be just you know unsellable on you can't liquidate
Speaker A
those down the line. That's a true waste. If you're just buying intermediary gear and then reselling them eventually when you are going down a certain route that you've decided on you're just getting a small loss. But look at the giga gain you get. You get
Speaker A
10 more AP from these two T dystos for for a cheap price. So for example, you can get the disto 7 to9 bill each. If you got them 9 bill each, that's 1.3 bill loss for each one when you do
Speaker A
resell it. That's not much versus the cost of enhancing a karazad to pen and then deciding, hey, I don't want to enhance all the way to knob. I just don't have it in me. It's going to be super expensive. Fair enough. Buy the
Speaker A
disto, buy the deboss, buy the pen deboss. But if you're throwing away that much for multiple pieces, it's not ideal. Yeah, I went the route of kerazats. I'm I'm okay with the Karazad system. It suits me because I didn't
Speaker A
think I was capable of saving up for pendos. It's almost like a trillion silver even now. Like, but it wasn't until much later where I had much higher AP that I got to the point when I was capable of saving up that much. So, it's
Speaker A
certainly a really hard grind, but it's cheaper than enhancing your own set of uh Nav Nav charisad. So, you're going to have to decide that for yourself, but intermediary accessories are okay to use. I'm here telling you, I don't care
Speaker A
what anyone says in the chat. It's not efficient. [ __ ] off. Like, it's cheap. It's easy. 10 AP. Let the dudes get more AP, go grind, and chill. And if they want to sell those and not go down
Speaker A
that route, they can just resell, take a tiny bit of loss, and chill. Right. So, let's talk about the next round. We're talking about using the intermediary accessories because you can then decide, are you going full Karazads and
Speaker A
enhancing yourself or are you going to get TDOS? So, there is a conversation between enhancing Kazads and converting TDO. Once upon a time, Ted Devilos were really cheap. They were sub 20 bill for multiple pieces, like almost 18 bill
Speaker A
some of them. So, they were really cheap to acquire. Now, they are quite expensive. Like, they're back in the 30s, I believe. Now, they're more expensive than they used to be. So, they're also like if you're buying it at
Speaker A
33 bill, you know, that is actually more expensive than enhancing your own karazen. And not only are you buying this um but you're taking a loss when you do resell them, right? So, a total of six T deboss right now. It cost you
Speaker A
almost 200 bill with the current market prices on an A. When you do resell them in the future, you're looking at a 28 bill loss. Right now in the current market, it's actually cheaper than to buy TD devils and convert these to pen
Speaker A
Karazads, it's cheaper to enhance your own karazads to pen. However, if you don't want to go the Pen Karazad route or if you if you don't want to go the enhancing karazad route, then you can buy the TT deboss and just hold them and
Speaker A
use those as your main set of accessories. So you can buy them one at a time slowly, you know, get the distos here, you know, fill out the other spots, then go and buy the pen disto u the tet deboss here. Uh because you get
Speaker A
a five set effect plus you're not getting the negative DP effect of wearing dystos and then you can chill with this and then you can go down the route of saving up for your pen deboss or you could even back out and say, hey,
Speaker A
I do want to make my own uh kazad. You can use these as a base set of gear to acquire the resources to start enhancing your kazads on the side. and then eventually um uh replacing these as you
Speaker A
go. And of course, you have to get the AP crystal as well. We'll see if they're sitting there. Dawn crystal of all AP.
Speaker A
No, they're not sitting there, but you can make them yourself. You can craft them yourself. Uh it takes uh let's see, 10 Blackstone powder, uh 20 essence of dawn, and 300 magical shards. So, you can craft these yourself. So, if you're
Speaker A
not converting a Tet Demo into that, you can do that. But in order to understand the price of a TD demo if it's worth converting you can use video workshop.
Speaker A
So bio workshop is bro Hans website which gives you easy calculation on gear upgrades. I love this website and I love bro big fan very uh do I already have it here at karazad? Yeah this is kazad. So
Speaker A
here it's showing you so I already set it up yesterday. So, I put the goal level as pen and you're seeing how much each uh upgrade costs per level. And then it'll show you the total cost as you progress, right? The total cost
Speaker A
here. And if you look at this exclamation mark, you can see the price of the deboss at TET minus the 3 bill that you you'll be saving for converting a demo. So, for example, here the necklace, a TT demo cost 24.8 8 bill but
Speaker A
on average you're looking at about 22.3 bill making your own karazad plus you need 3 bill approximately for that jin AP crystal uh as well whereas if you bought the 24 billo you'll convert that it'll give you a carat plus the AB
Speaker A
crystal so for the necklace it's better to just buy the debo and convert according to this number but for the belt the ring and the earring that's not the case according to current market prices it's saying it's better to
Speaker A
enhance your own you can use this tool it's different for the each region it's different for the time period There are times when deboss were a lot more expensive. They fluctuate is what it is.
Speaker A
But you'll have to make the decision for yourself. And most important thing is what you can stomach as a player. Can you save over a trillion silver? Well, like 200 bill a piece for each uh accessory for each pen. Let's take a
Speaker A
look at deos. How much they're going for, right? A pen demo pen necklace 150 bill. That's an or 140 bill. That's easy. That's doable. I think anyone at this stage are capable. But then we're looking at access earrings. That's like
Speaker A
more in the range of 180 bill each. Then you're that's for two of them. Then one B 80 bill each for two two rings. And then for a belt you're looking at the same thing around 180 bill, you know,
Speaker A
170 bill 180 bill. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of time. If you're earning only two bill an hour, that's a lot of hours. So you need to decide for yourself the route you want to go. Going
Speaker A
to Kazad. There's nothing wrong with going Kerazad. Yes, it could be more expensive, but it's a general progression that you'll get gradual AP over time. I wasn't at the point when I was at fullte demo. I was looking at the
Speaker A
game. I was like 324 326 AP or something and I'm like nah I can't save up 200 bill for each accessory. I don't have it in me. I got to that point much later when I was making 3 to four bill an hour
Speaker A
and then I'm like yeah I can save up 200 bill that's easy. So it depends on the individual right you can't just say hey this is better than that. You have to take into consideration different route.
Speaker A
So once again, you can, you know, turn these into kazad and or enhance your own kazads as I explained how to determine that, how to determine if it's worth it the prices. So even if you get those crownstones for free, don't treat it as
Speaker A
just free upgrades here. Those are your resources that do hold inherent silver value. Use them wisely. All right, so that is the end of gate two, I believe.
Speaker A
So part two. So yeah, that concluded gate two. Now we're at gate three. Gate three. Now you have the AP to be grinding at um some of the decent grind spots. Now you should be starting to progress in terms of how much money
Speaker A
you're earning. Let's go ahead and make a few changes here. Let's h turn this into fiery just so we can see how much AP you're working with at this point.
Speaker A
Let's go ahead and put a general PVE crystals. Let's put u demihuman. So looking at the AP DP, you know, you're at 1282 with this kind of gear. So 1282 you're getting pretty close to you're getting close. I think you'd still stay
Speaker A
at Izzared Highlands and still progress a little bit more and pretty soon you're going to be working towards Tongrad Ruins. So now you're at solidly in the mid game. You know, you're getting to some of the more grindier sections in
Speaker A
the game where you're going to start seeing slower progression of your gear. That's okay. The current state of the game, you don't have to just sit there and grind for hours on end in order to progress. Now it's more daily oriented,
Speaker A
passive income oriented, weekly activities oriented. For example, doing your uh boss rush weekly. Me, I I'm able to do C10s cuz I have a high enough gear score. But even if you're not doing C10s, even if you can just do C8 bamboo
Speaker A
legion, you know, just doing bamboo legions, you're still getting a good amount of passive income. Doing your boss guild bosses, you know, that's about four bill liquid silver if you don't do con. If you do do con, that's
Speaker A
five build five billion silver for very easy effort on a weekly basis. So, combining doing your Adteraxian dungeons, doing your pit of undying, doing your dark rifts, everything, it adds up to a lot of silver that you're earning billions, tens of billions on a
Speaker A
weekly basis just by playing the game in a casual level. Doing your AFK fishing, if you're able to keep your computer running 24/7, that's also a really good source of income. Me, every 8 hours, you know, I'm getting one anywhere from like
Speaker A
if I get zero prize fish at Veilia, I'll still get over 950 million silver in 12 hours. So across 24 hours, I'm getting a lot of money that's just adding up. Like me minimally playing, I'm already at like 50some bill, right? Last week I was
Speaker A
at 20ome. So that's the power of passive income. Now you're at the stage where you're going to be looking at longer grinds in order for each upgrade. That's okay. That's just the nature of the game. Variate your activities. Don't
Speaker A
just uh endlessly grind like it's a second job. You're going to burn out by diversifying all the activities you do.
Speaker A
You know, keep up with the content on my channel. You'll see pretty soon uh guides for going over those other things as well. Easy money. Look, focus on the easy money. If you do have more time, go do your daily hour of grinding with
Speaker A
Agris. If you do have more time, then you could grind further. But honestly, right now, just grinding one hour a day, just doing all the passive weekly daily activities. You can make over 2, three trillion silver depending on how active
Speaker A
you are or regular you are. Consistency is important per year. Two to three trillion silver as a casual player for a year. So, just keep that in mind, guys.
Speaker A
You are at a gate three now. Gate three is going to start being a lot longer.
Speaker A
Gate four is going to be even longer and now you are at the point when a lot of people do burn out. So just want to call out next your heart. That is going to be something that you're going to want to
Speaker A
be keeping on pre-order and hopefully you'll be able to get. You only need to get it once and once you do then you're golden. Once you do get your Velart you can uh empower these turn it into exalted velart. Just Google it. It's a
Speaker A
pretty easy thing to do. Um, it's requires Elvia, a calf, grind spot drops in order to do it. You can just buy them off the market usually and should be a straightforward thing, but that's another 4 DP and one more AP than
Speaker A
conart. Once again, I want to call out the Garmut Heart as well. Whether you did your guaranteed Garmut Heart earlier when I mentioned or now you're at the stage you're looking for your second Garmat's heart, uh, this is a good point
Speaker A
to be uh, upgrading your Stormbringer awakening to a Fiery awakening. So that means instead of Stormbbringer Karanda's heart, you're going to be putting on a Garmott's heart here. And if you're playing main hand, if you're playing awakening, then you don't have to do it
Speaker A
because you can't put a um any any heart on your main hand blackar. You need to have a sovereign in order to put a Garmouth's heart on it. So once again, for your off hand, this is a very low
Speaker A
priority thing. You can keep it as earth shaking for a very long time because the amount of HP you're getting versus the earth shaking, it's not that much more.
Speaker A
Like here you have 585 for earth shaking. That's only like 300 mil. Then look at the fiery. That's 960 HP. It's not a big deal. So you can keep it as earth shaking for quite some time. By this point now you're going to start
Speaker A
thinking about you should be pretty comfortable with what class you're playing. So you should start thinking about committing to one of your specs.
Speaker A
If you can commit to one of your specs, that's great. That means you should um you should be going for a sovereign subw weapon around this point. Your AP might be higher, it might be lower. I'll explain how you're going to be leveling
Speaker A
up your accessories due to the fluctuation in prices, due to uh different focuses for each player. It's better for me to explain the means of upgrade rather than saying, "Hey, buy this upgrade this accessory next, then you do your sovereign, then uh enhance
Speaker A
that one level, then this accessory next, cuz that all all that could change just by market prices, market fluctuations, events coming in and stuff. But in this vicinity of gear score, you're around 750 gear score, closing in on the 750 mark. you're at
Speaker A
739 here be before it. This is a good time to be thinking about the sovereign subw weapon. If you are someone who needs to play both awakening and succession, you can bring in the awakening uh sovereign. For a long time,
Speaker A
we didn't have the sovereign subw weapon. We I had two sovereign on the main hands and main hand and awakening and had them at the same AP because I played both succession and awakening. I was a suck mystic as well as an
Speaker A
awakening mystic. So for me, it made sense to keep both of them the same AP instead of having this 10 AP disparity.
Speaker A
That 10 AP is a big deal, man. that 10 AP, you know, look at this. If we're looking at demihuman, it says 1123. Then on the awakening weapon, it's 1027. So that's a lot of AP difference. You got
Speaker A
to decide for yourself what kind of classes you want to play. So it might not be ideal for someone to just commit to one specialization. So if you do commit a sovereign subw weapon, getting it to try, I think it's uh we just raw
Speaker A
tap it to try if I'm not mistaken, or you can use crownstones. But I recommend raw trap tapping and conserving those constones. You need that. You need a lot of them later down the line. But getting to try Sovereign is pretty easy. Once
Speaker A
again, these are the uh the reform stones you use. Black Spirit Rage, critical hit, extra damage, back attack damage, all damage reduction, and all AP. Then you can convert the uh all dam replace the all damage reduction for
Speaker A
critical hit and whatever. If you are looking to flex, now let's talk about how you're going to be upgrading to Karazads. If you went the route of Tdeos and you're saving for Pendos, you don't need to listen to this part. But if you
Speaker A
are going for Kazads, whether you converted Tetos into Kazads, if it was economical, depending on the price on your servers at this time, the time you're listening to this, or if you enhanced your uh Kazads from bass, whichever may be the case, let's talk
Speaker A
about how you're going to be upgrading these accessories. And remember, if you are making your Kazads from base or whatever, there is that one T that you can get from your deck to accessory enhancement. getting that one and then
Speaker A
enhancing that to pen is really cheap compared to buying a TD demo. So that is one thing to remember. Let's talk about how you're going to be roundroining and enhancing your Kazad. I like to keep my necklace about two AP high two
Speaker A
enhancement levels higher than the rest of these. Um, a while back they made the change where now, you know, your earrings are pretty much getting the same AP per almost after a certain point, whereas before you'd have to like
Speaker A
do some skipping in terms of enhancement. But now, you know, if your everything is at 10 here, then get your necklace about two enhancement levels higher and then you can start uh enhancing the others to hex. So, if you
Speaker A
get your um necklace to set, then the others can go up to hex. And then you have to decide uh what you're looking for. Uh you can continue to round robin here or you can uh focus on DP in order
Speaker A
to get to Jordine. Jordine is the first of your Adia bosses and it acts as a weekly uh weekly activity quick boss fight for 5 minutes which gives you a good amount of silver as you progress through those Adia bosses going to Rulka
Speaker A
Enslar. You know your rewards get better. So you have to really decide here uh if you want to look towards Adia or you want to just stay at Ulikita, keep grinding, keep improving your stats. If you are staying at Adania or
Speaker A
sorry Ulikita, you're going to keep pumping your AP up. Then you're going to just round robin your necklace to oct and then you're going to get the rest to set. Now, the order of karaads, I must say, um you you you can use, of course,
Speaker A
you can use uh by Khan's website, video workshop, and you put in your stats here where you're at, and it'll tell you which is the most economical. If you're going just for AP without worrying about DP getting to Adonia, you can follow uh
Speaker A
a path like this, which is going to show you uh which one to go first. Okay, first you get your necklace to hex, then your necklace to seap, then your earrings, and your other accessories.
Speaker A
It's a basically what I was recommending, you know, by getting all of them to hex, then you work on your necklace to o then your main hand sourn, you know, up by one enhancement to um hex. So you can follow video workshop
Speaker A
pretty comfortably in terms of which piece to upgrade next. It's just a matter of calculations, the enhancement rate versus the pity pity rate and the cost of crownstones per tap. So that is an option there in terms of how to go
Speaker A
about it. So, you're going to have to decide, are you going to go for Jordine or are you going to keep uh pumping up your AP? Because if you're going for Jordine, let's say instead of pumping up your AP, you're going for Jordine.
Speaker A
First, you have to clear the 350 AP mark. That is one of the main uh one of the requirements there. The other is going to be getting to 427 DP. Yeah, enhancing try Falling God is a pain.
Speaker A
Don't do it. I would say just buy a try or the I mean you get this one from your tofall u conversion and for the other pieces if you are going for try then you're just going to buy them you don't
Speaker A
want to enhance it yourself in this day and age once upon a time try falling go slumbering origin armors used to be like 80 bill 90 bill you know back then it made sense to enhance yourself but not
Speaker A
anymore all right let's say you are going towards Jordine what are you what are you going to be doing so you know enhancing your sub weapon uh one level is an option there uh let's see what we're going to be doing next. So, let's
Speaker A
talk about the DP gains, right? The first thing is let's see how how your DP looks if you did go for all tries. Okay, you can get to 427 like that, right? You can unlock it just unlock Jordine by
Speaker A
getting all tries. However, when you resell one of these tries, you're going to be losing money on the tax. How do you find out how much you're losing?
Speaker A
Let's say, let's go to the central market on um garmat.com. Over here, there's a tax calculator. Let's say you have enough family feain to get bonus the bonus there. You don't have a merchant ring and you have a value pack.
Speaker A
So if I sold if I bought um a shoe for 42 bill and I resold it for 42 bill, I am losing 6 billion silver when I resell it. So for that reason, I would recommend not going cuz like uh that's
Speaker A
going to be a total of 18 billion once you resell all three of these. This one you can't resell um because that is the slumbering origin that you got from Can you resell these? I don't think you can
Speaker A
sell these guys, right? It's untradeable. The one you get from Tvala. But these you can resell. So that is a loss. So for that reason, I recommend immediately going for a Tet. Yeah. No.
Speaker A
Yeah. Going for Tet is going to be the way to go. So let's see. Let's look at Labresca on NA. Right. So a Tet Labresa almost 200 billies right now. Oh man, that's expensive, but it's not impossible. It's doable. Getting your
Speaker A
armors to tat slumbering origin allows you to convert them into adani armors and get some really quick AP or sorry really quick DP by enhancing those Adani armors from uh base all the way to pry duo and try. Getting to try is pretty
Speaker A
easy. It's just time gated in the materials there. That's okay. So it's going to be about 200 billies across the board for four pieces. That's a lot of money, I know, but it is a grind that it is a hurdle you're going to have to
Speaker A
cross. Enhancing it is toxic. I tapped two tries to tech within like seven taps and then I pied the helmet. Why did I spend so many resources and waste like over 100 billion for content? Of course, if I imagine I tra tapped that try uh
Speaker A
that try helmet to tet within a few taps as well. Man, I could make so many people pissed in a YouTube video.
Speaker A
Instead, they ended up laughing at me for pitying that. Overall, it averaged out because I got carried on two of the pieces and then one of the piece I bought cheap when the Tet armors were down low. But ideally, guys, you're
Speaker A
going to want to buy it. You're going to want to play the long game. Getting to Jordine isn't that big of a deal. It's not going to save you so much time in the future with those Adia piece of
Speaker A
Adas. Okay, so playing the long game, getting a Ted helmet, staying with duos on the others is the first step. Then by doing the Adonia quest line, this is going to be turned into an Adonna helmet at base. And this then you're going to
Speaker A
want to save up for a Tet armor. So you need a piece of Adonna and you can only convert one armor from Tet Slumbering Origin to Adana armor per week. So the first one, your helmet, cuz you already
Speaker A
had a Tri Slumbering Origin armor uh for your the Tri Falling Gut armor. So that's what you're going to be doing.
Speaker A
that you're going to be aiming towards the TT here and the T here in order to get to the 427. You can get to 427 by having all tries, but play the long game. You're going to be losing 18
Speaker A
billion silver by reselling three of these. And you know, that could be like depending on how quickly you grind, that's like 9 hours of effort, 10 hours of effort, depending on where you're at, how quickly you're grinding, you know,
Speaker A
could be less, but that's just wasted time, wasted effort. So, what you want to do is get the Tet Labresca and a Tet Fall Fong armor. That is a long grind, but I think that is the most efficient
Speaker A
over the long run. So, that'll get you to 427 and you'll be over 350 AP with a setup relative to this. You know, this could be lower more, but you know, if you the the thing is getting it to at
Speaker A
least try is for the you know, I don't think you get DP here, so that's not going to affect, but you know, even if you're at pry with this setup, that should be enough. But you want to be
Speaker A
over 350 and then this is how you're going to be getting your 3 427 in order to unlock Jordine. If you decided you're going to stay in Ulkita and just farm silver, that's fine, too. You don't have to go down this route, but this is an
Speaker A
option. So, that's how you're going to get to Jordine. If you wanted to stay at Ulita and keep grinding AP, that's fine, too. All right, let's say you are now finally here. Whether you chose to go the AP route or chose to go for Jordine,
Speaker A
that unlocks your weekly an additional method for weekly easy silver, it's not a bad route. It depends on you. Can you get the DP? It's not efficient to get those tri armors in my opinion. You can get those tri armors. That's okay. If
Speaker A
you chose, if you say that's the route for you, that's okay. But then think about it. You're unlocking you're taking that loss in order to unlock Jordine.
Speaker A
How many weeks of Jordine do you need to make up for that loss? So, ideally, I don't think it it's going to be worth it. So, now let's move on to the next gate. Welcome, Adana. You are now at the
Speaker A
gate of Adana. You're past gate number four. Now, at this point, now you're going to start thinking towards your high-end grind spots. you're going to be getting your full Adonia armor and then DP at one point it's going to be like
Speaker A
just capped out. Most people just sit on try Adana armors. That's enough to go and grind at Zephos. At some point your DP is going to just simplify. It's just going to be oh you got T uh slumbering
Speaker A
origin armors. They're Adonna armors now. Then just round robin Adana upgrades all the way to try and then you just chill there. What's your real challenge is going to be your accessories and your sovereigns. That shit's expensive. I'm sorry. This is a
Speaker A
shitty system. We can't sell these in sell these carriers ads. We can't sell these sovereigns. It is a better system than what we used to deal with. Remember back then when there was no pity system for enhancements where people used to go
Speaker A
50 75 fails on a pen black star and each tap was like what 3,600 chron something like that. It used to be worse. Okay, I know these aren't a very loved system.
Speaker A
Charzads, sovereigns, I don't like them, but I do admit they are better than what we used to deal with. Unfortunately, this is just a hamster wheel of endless grind now that we're going to be running into. That's why I said there are
Speaker A
different ways to make money. You don't have to just grind, grind, grind. Do your boss rush, do your party boss rush, do your adoract stands, do your guild bosses, all those combined AFK fishing, everything. It's a lot of silver,
Speaker A
trillions silver on a yearly basis just being a casual player. and then throw in 1 hour, 2 hour active gameplay. It lets you get to the these higher end areas without um these higher end goals without burning yourself out. But yeah,
Speaker A
essentially now you're at the point where you want more AP, more AP, more AP. You can go for more Adana armor, the other two Adana armors, but like I said, 200 bill, 200 bill, that's expensive grind. You don't need to get there yet.
Speaker A
427 is more than enough for the time being and it'll slowly creep up when you have two of these and you're enhancing them up to try. Your focus is going to be now AP. So if you get your uh
Speaker A
necklace to oct you can get the other accessories to sap. Then you can get your savver and main hand or your main weapon to hex. Then you'll have the optional uh ability. Then you actually you need to progress a little bit more.
Speaker A
Notice my AP here. I'm getting you to with the adia AP. I'm getting you to the cap of Nyamari. What is Nymphamare's cap? That is 1690, right? Yeah. 1690.
Speaker A
You don't need to go to Nyamari. Honestly, that's a shitty spot. It's money isn't the greatest. The only reason you'll grind there is for the crystal. It gives you 30 AP and some uh 30 Adonia AP and then some monster DR.
Speaker A
Taking that and going into Orbida, you'll be a lot safer than going directly into Orbita. [ __ ] orbita. But this is a giga gear score. You don't need this much. You can even start grinding there. Here at like 1620, 1630
Speaker A
and still clear it at a good pace. But, you know, at this point, you you might want to go and switch over and do a quick grind. It's not quick. It's still like 18 to 20 hours unless you get the
Speaker A
raw drop. But going out to Adonia and grinding Namari Castle for that crystal. Otherwise, you're getting better money at Orzekia and uh Darkseker. So to get to this point once again your necklace to knav then the other accessories to uh
Speaker A
oct and your main hand to se. So you need to have u resistance for nymphamari. Here is what you're looking at. Where is it? Stun freezing stun and stiffness resistance to 100%. So it's a stun. I think that's you're looking for
Speaker A
uh you get through giants. Am I right? Nymphare. Yep. Giants. So, in the Adania grind spots, every grind spot requires resistance or else it's going to be a miserable grind. I don't recommend grinding without 100% resistance.
Speaker A
Sacrifice that AP, get the required crystals there, and you're golden. Also, at this point, uh you should be thinking about your awakening. By the time you're grinding in Adana, you do want to have a try or triple sovereign weapons just
Speaker A
because of the reforge crystals. These are pretty juicy in terms of the stats they give alone, let alone the additional AP you're getting from uh having three sovereigns. So yeah, you can commit just to staying main hand and
Speaker A
subw weapon, but getting that other piece just for the reforge crystals is a pretty big one. Um me for sure, I needed the I needed damage reduction for for sure with Orbida, but that is something you want to start taking into account.
Speaker A
Now let's see what I had here. Right. So, as I mentioned earlier, DSR and Orzekia is going to be better for silver as grinding DSR. That's preferred because you'll be saving up hunger uh origins of dark hunger and devouring.
Speaker A
So, instead of going and grinding at Nyamari or you are doing Nymphamari's weekly quest at the very least, that'll give you end times, you know, that'll help you save up some resources there and you can work your way towards that
Speaker A
crystal, but that's that's personal preference. If you want to get there, then we need to start looking towards Rula. So getting 440 DP is pretty easy in this case. You know, it's just a matter of getting all four Adana armors.
Speaker A
You know, you just have to depending on what level your uh subw weapon is and then having all four Adonia armors even like at one getting everything to like pry and duo is pretty easy. It's just a timegated thing. Now the enhancement
Speaker A
rates are really u generous in the very beginning. So your overall gear score gets pumped up pretty quick. Main question is going to be your AP. Um, I'd recommend going with Bio Workshop re uh recommendations. I think it's going to
Speaker A
tell you to get Octier and then go for knives for the rest of these. I believe that is the route. So, by doing so, you can get to uh 375 AP and 440 plus DP um pretty easily. And even if you have a
Speaker A
duo here, you know, even with three Adana pieces and a duo still, if you haven't gotten there yet, you should be able to get that. But I'm sure you'll by this point you will have your four Adana armors. You should ideally have it by
Speaker A
then. So that'll get you Rula. Rulka as a weekly boss is pretty good. It gives you a decent amount of money and it gives you two pieces of Adonna. So it helps your progression a lot better. So you're going twice as fast compared to
Speaker A
Jordine. I hate the time gating systems, but that is just what it is. Now, let's look at uh thinking towards Orbita.
Speaker A
Orbita is going to be a spot where Let me adjust this back to what I was at.
Speaker A
What was I at? There's just so many here. So hard for me to just go back and forth. I think I had one extra knob as the belt. Okay. Now, once you're at Rossula and you're at the APDP for
Speaker A
Rulca, you ideally want to start thinking towards getting to Orbida. Orbita is going to be one of your three endgame grind spots which gives Giga money. Orbita, however, is very [ __ ] dangerous. That golems slap hard. I died
Speaker A
and lost over six big crystals there. I have PTSD, but it is a really good grind spot in terms of money, but also XP. So, you're going to start thinking towards, hey, maybe I want to start working towards um Orbita. With 375 AP plus all
Speaker A
of this, you should be at a good spot to get there. Get started there. Let me make sure I have the Orbita crystal. We do. So, let's see the monster AP caps.
Speaker A
Orbita's AP cap is 1,800 with 1,700 plus plus your um plus your uh class AP buff, you know, another 30 there. Then using your BSR on the golems and your 3 minutes buff, you can manage with this gear score. Is it going to be
Speaker A
comfortable? Not really, but you can definitely manage and work your way towards that um crystal here. Honestly, I'd wait till around 380, but some classes are just much more goated and some players are just goated, so they can do it a little bit sooner, but
Speaker A
around 380 is when you really want to be at orbita for sure. So, in terms of uh gear upgrade then, so once uh you know, you want to get your main hand to se your off hand to uh hex, and the rest of
Speaker A
these, you're going to start progressing them towards knobs. Use video workshop's recommendation based on the prices in terms of the order. Eventually, you want to get your way to 380 uh AP. You should have all duo Adonia armors by then. Um
Speaker A
to get to 380, your first uh carat that's going to go to deck is obviously your necklace. So, deck there definitely an octed by then here for your main hand. And you can work your way up here. Let's move that. So, a hex
Speaker A
offhand plus a few knobs on your karazads and a few ox plus your oct main hand and your deck necklace. Or if you kept this at se, you can get these to knobs, too. But I think it's easier to
Speaker A
get the oct to the main hand than getting all the others uh to knob first.
Speaker A
So, yeah, how you're going to cut it, it's going to be dependent on you what you're tapping in uh what the order is going to be based on what workshop says.
Speaker A
Then getting to be um then getting to 384 AP. This is going to be a matter of getting both your aux right now. This is basically almost at the spot that I'm at almost I say. So getting ax one deck
Speaker A
necklace and the rest to knobs and then finally getting to 389. So 389 this is a toxic number and they planned this [ __ ] I know it cuz logically like from where I'm at all try armors is done. It's easy
Speaker A
to get. Getting deck carzads. You know, it's annoying, but the enhancement rate isn't that bad. It's like that's not the best, but it's not terrible. It's realistic to get eventually. And getting to octed weapons in order to get to 390.
Speaker A
You need to have a knob on your main weapon. You need a knob sovereign in order to get to 390. This part is extremely toxic. I'll show you in the enhancing simulator right now. Right.
Speaker A
Let's uh put sovereign staff. Let's put this at oct. We're tapping for a knob.
Speaker A
Let's say you have a 350 fail stack, you know. Let's say [ __ ] it. 364, it's 1.84% success. Yeah. Yeah. If we're That's right, Tenny. For calafraas. Yeah. But to get this is why I view 389 as the soft cap because the difference
Speaker A
between going for an oct to going from an oct to a kn is pretty drastic and then going for from a knob to a deck is rough, right? So for that reason I view this layout here 389 that is all decks
Speaker A
and octed weapons as this new soft cap. I think this gear is easy to get. Maybe a little bit more. You know, you can probably get to like TS on the Adonia armor, but you don't need it because
Speaker A
with try Adonia armor, you should be able to grind at every spot now pretty much. If you got to this point, guys, I must say, you know, people aren't even going to tell you to go touch grass.
Speaker A
They're going to tell grass to touch you. Like, hats hats off. It took a lot of determination, swiping, or consistency, one of those, in order to get to this point. But it is a very high point. you are at the you know near the
Speaker A
peak at the very high gear score. So you know be proud of how uh your consistency and your hard work and it has paid off.
Speaker A
But now progressing from the previous soft cap of 389 this is how it's going to go. First you're going to get your nav mainhand weapon. So the first thing you're going to do when you're at that point you're going to get na mainhand
Speaker A
weapon. Then you're going to get your hex on your awakening weapon. or if you're an awakening player, vice versa.
Speaker A
You'll be getting your knav on your awakening and your hex on your sovereign main hand. Then you're going to go for kn on your sub weapon. After that, you're going to go for the deck on your main hand weapon, seep on awakening,
Speaker A
deck on your sub weapon. Then you'll push your awakening weapon to uh oct no, and deck. In regards to your Adonia armor, if you are a PvP player, you might have pushed this sooner because having high DP in PvP allows you to
Speaker A
sacrifice that DP for more alternate stats. However, if not, you really don't need more DP in order to grind at the endame spots right now. Once again, I'll check stars end and the new spot that were added, but would try. That should
Speaker A
carry you a while. That's why we hold on to our resources and afterwards uh you start putting pumping those resources into your um armors and then just giga gear giga boost your gear score with the DP. Now one thing to call out are the
Speaker A
new alchemy stones, right? So this is the splendid version. So they recently added the new system for alchemy stones where doing your dark rifts on a weekly basis gives you the material to get the enhancement items for your alchemy
Speaker A
stones. So these things here, fate essence of eether, you convert them um as shown here with uh using sharp black crystals or oila piece of old moon. Uh sharp black crystals the way to go usually I guess easiest way. And you're
Speaker A
going to use that to enhance your alchemy stones. So So these are the different alchemy stones. They're pretty easy to get from uh all the way up to um this point. respplendant. You know, the there are some fail stacks that are
Speaker A
pretty easy to hit. Take a few weeks if you're not very lucky. And then the real grind is going to be going from respplendant to a splendid. Now, these prices are dropping drastically. So, me, I didn't have a respplendant ready to go
Speaker A
when that system changed. And that's okay. I don't really give a [ __ ] cuz like a respplendant is giving you what 1% more attack speed. Splendid is more noticeable. You got 3% more attack speed than a heart. My plan is when this is
Speaker A
cheap enough, I'll just buy the damn thing and then start tapping into shining. If you are someone who wants to, you know, try to get this as soon as possible instead of waiting, you can get yourself a respplendant and start
Speaker A
tapping that or you can even get yourself a sharp and then start tapping that respplendant and then onwards. It depends on these are timegating materials. It depends on how long you're willing to wait. I'm okay waiting till I
Speaker A
have 200 bill and just buying the damn thing outright. That's okay. That's my choice. Depends on you what you want to do. But by this time, by the time you're at this endame stage at gate five, you're going to want to have a splendid.
Speaker A
If you don't, your friends are going to laugh at you. So, by the time you are at this uh last stage, you know, all your decks are done and these this you might get this to a splendid sooner. It's just
Speaker A
RNG. You're just going to be tapping it every week. You get the materials from Dark Rift and then you just go straight up and tap it. You might get it sooner, you might get it later, but hopefully someday you do get it and eventually you
Speaker A
get Shining. And of course, you just keep pumping up your your uh Adonia armors with the timegated piece of Adonas you get every week. And eventually, yeah, you'll push your way through to higher brackets, higher gear gear score. Right now, this is showing
Speaker A
862. So, yeah, 389 was a soft cap. Getting to 390 will allow you to fight Guardian. And getting all your your main hand, your main weapon, and your off weapon to deck allows you to uh fight Caffas at a weekly level. So that'll get
Speaker A
you more weekly piece of Adonas and allow you to progress your Adana armor quicker. Once again, try armors, triadonna armors are more than enough in order to carry you through a lot of these endgame spots. So you don't really
Speaker A
need to push DP. It's going to be a long grind for that main hands and sub weapons and awakening. That about wraps this up, guys. Absolute pain in the ass at this stage, but it's about consistency. You don't have to grind
Speaker A
four hours a day, 5 hours a day, 6 hours a day anymore in order to be competitive. You just have to be consistent. Grind an hour a day. You know, play actively an hour a day. Get your agress out of the way. If your
Speaker A
aggress is always at zero, it's not being wasted. Me, it peaks out at 100k every week cuz I grind maybe one to two hours every week. But that's okay. Do your weekly stuff. Do your boss rush. Do your party boss rush. Do your
Speaker A
Adoraxians. Make sure you're doing all of those at the very least. You know, it takes two to three hours to do all of that and you're getting like over 40 billion silver every week, right? We did the calculations for all the dailies and
Speaker A
weekly activities and we saw in one of my previous streams that even if you just do all the weeklies and you're not doing an hour of grind every day, that's still 1.7 trillion silver with zero active grinding, you know, in a single
Speaker A
year. So, when you take all of that into account, when you're taking advantage of all the systems they give us, yes, we do complain about this game being a solo player game, not many party activities, but if you're not even doing party boss
Speaker A
rush or atorax with your friends, then you really don't have any reason to complain. First, do those then start complaining. But if you're on top of all that, you can make 2, three trillion silver without being a gigas sweat
Speaker A
grinding for eight hours a day in a single year. And that will get you to this endame spot. So, yes, this looks like it's unachievable. It looks like it's a lot of gear score, a lot of silver to get here, but it is doable.
Speaker A
So, that is my TED talk. Thanks for coming, guys. Much appreciated. Thanks for Thanks for hanging in there all this time. If you enjoyed this video, like, comment, and subscribe. Check me out at twitch.tv/impanszy where I stream every
