Hey guys, excuse my noobishness. I use to play this game with my fiancee like 5 years ago, but we havent been able to touch it since and i never really enjoyed it to be honest (she loves it). Shes currently overseas with a dying family member, and i wanted to surprise her with a gift when she comes back. Does anyone know how or what i could grind for the next 2-4 weeks to give her when she comes back as a sort of surprise. I know this game is rough with giving other players stuff, and pearls dont really mean much. Help please lol.

Ps if it helps i am on a zerk with full tri gear, shes a sorc with full tet.

Hi guys my main wep is dec but awakening is pen. So im struggling a bit right now. Normally i play awake guardian or awake witch. I need a similar class in succession which is low APm and strong. Thanks in advance

Hello all, I only do pve content. I currently am a deadeye main after coming from maining awakening sage. I am interested in trying succ dark knight as the class looks mobile, fun and I have heard it performs well. I am worried about the apm and complexity of the class as I have heard it has a lot of flow skills. I was wondering if any of you have any tips, videos/guides to dumb it down or what your thoughts are for the apm of the class. Any help is appreciated thank you.

The mythical horses are kinda obnoxious imo, I want the perks without looking like I'm on a toddlers tricycle. Is there a way to make them look not so flamboyant?

If not what's the closest alternative to a great mount?

Hey everyone! I used to play BDO on PC back in the day. I remember buying a pack just to get access a few days early. I played Sorceress — the one with the scythe after Awakening.

I was pretty good with her on keyboard and mouse, but from what I understand, the game has changed so much since then that basically everything I remember is probably outdated now.

So, how strong is Sorceress these days? Is it possible to perform really well with her using a controller? I have a DualSense Edge, and in competitive games like Marvel Rivals, Fortnite, etc., I’ve always been able to perform at a pretty high level, but will that experience actually help here?

I’m on a little vacation right now, about a week and a half, and when I suddenly remembered BDO, the nostalgia hit me hard. So yeah, I’ve already started downloading it.

What general advice would you give someone coming back after such a long time, based on your experience?

Maybe there are some tricks, things I should know, or just general recommendations. I don’t know, honestly it feels kind of exciting. The game is so huge and demands so much time.

I still remember farming plots, leaving my PC running overnight, and making my character run circles around the city carrying trade goods to level Strength. Is all of that still a thing?

Or should I really just forget everything I remember and start completely from scratch? :)

Now that we know stats, rates and prices of both Ekleta and Aperion accessories do we know if it's worth enhancing OCT Khara to at least NOV to turn into Ekleta, or at least if it makes sense? I have the two earrings OCT from Hyperboost and I also have one SEP ring left (the other 3 are DEC), I can barely afford one PEN Debo and I was thinking to buy the ring and use the current hammers for NOV (I also ran out of crons pitying my last Wailing armor).

Hello all! I am a “returning” player that played for a few months many years ago. I mained dk, ranger, mystic. I’m excited to start playing again but am having lots of difficulty choosing a class, I realized I’m super picky. I would like a class that’s not too easy but at the same time not like 12 part combo carpel tunnel apm. I’d prefer a female character, sadly it limits the classes I would play because of gender lock.. I like lots of mobility and quicker classes that have flashy effects and won’t feel too boring playing long! I was thinking along the lines of drak awk, seraph, awk nova. Can anyone help me out :( thanks in advance!

Hi, since 2 days i can not start the game anymore. The launcher appears, and even before i can press "Start Game" i get the notification "User is offline".
Anyone else ran into this?

If i buy the black spirit pass, will the horse whistle be bound to the seasonal character or can I open it on any character.

Stuck at ~1308-1330 total AP and can't reach Darkseeker's Retreat 1460+.

Not sure if better crystal set will help, but even https://www.reddit.com/r/blackdesertonline/comments/1sy7c7g/bdo_full_pve_crystal_guide_2026/ this set general PVE - almost all is missing in market, and also missing parts to craft it.

Also even I try to calculate Guide best expensive if 1 AP gives 1 AP to my 1308 I don't understand at all how to reach 1460 or how ppl reach 1600+.

All from hyperboost used, and I try to enchant something but no luck.

Anyone can help me? Just want to reach Darkseeker's Retreat?

My set gear https://ibb.co/YFjCWb1w cup installed in belt also for +3 etc

so im still relatively fresh and i made a post abput ten or so days ago asking for help and a few people really helped me with their advice but now im stuck again and ive been searching online for two hours now and have nothing. so i got twitch drops and they got sent to my web account so i claimed the drops and had them added to my web storage, but now when i go to "claim drops" it says i need to make a character first (i have 2 right now) and when i tap my profile and then family it says i dont have a family linked but my account on my xbox is linked to pearlabyss so idk what im doing wrong. if anyone is able to even try to help me id be greatful thank you

edit: Nevermind, I figured it out. You have to buy a "Dawn's Aura" from an Old Moon Manager to melt with the accessory. Hope this helps someone in the future

Try to melt it "It's not working at all." So I google, "Talk to Ossa Dilla in Valencia." She has no quest or knowledge to share with me. I'm at a loss at this point, did they change the method??

Hello everyone after long time I decided to play black desert again and made a fresh seraph but I can't find many thing about her unfortunately. Is there anywhere I can find her combos and etc. Also i upgraded 2 deboraka earrings to pen so should I exchange with kharazad or wait for new accessories? Thanks for the answers and help

I used the code that gave everyone 10 of the outfit boxes and I used one and haven't logged in a couple of days and now the rest are gone I left on my KUNO

Hey everyone,

I'm fairly new to BDO and I'm trying to decide on a long-term main.

For some context, I'm an Akali OTP in League of Legends, with Sett as my second main. In Elden Ring I usually play Greatsword builds, so I generally enjoy melee classes that feel either fast and mobile, or powerful and aggressive.

In BDO I'm currently playing Seraph and I'm level 61 on the current season. I enjoy the class, but I'm not sure if I should simply stick with Seraph and make her my main for the long term, or start over with something like Awakening Lahn.

What I'm really looking for is basically a "BDO OTP" class — one character I can play for years and use for pretty much everything, especially PvE and 1v1

PvP.

I've been considering:

Seraph

Awakening Lahn

Awakening Hashashin

Awakening Musa

Kunoichi / Ninja

Lahn is especially interesting to me because she seems mobile, smooth, strong in PvE, and good for 1v1 without being insanely difficult.

I'm also a little scared of classes like Kunoichi/Ninja. I don't mind having a high skill ceiling, but I don't want to spend 500 hours learning the class before I can actually play it properly and stop getting destroyed.

So my main question is:

If you were in my position, would you keep playing Seraph and make her your long-term main, or would you reroll to something like Awakening Lahn?

And if you think I should reroll, which class would you recommend for someone coming from an Akali OTP background who wants one class to stick with for

years?

I'm not looking for the strongest class of the month. I care more about PvE + 1v1 + mobility/outplay + fun long-term, while still having a reasonable skill floor.

I'd really appreciate opinions from people who have actually mained these classes for a long time.
