=) What I Love So Farīlack Desert has a lot of things going for it. I’d also love to hear from others who play this game, to learn what it’s like later down the line.
I’m making this a simple pro-con list, so you can get a sense of what it’s like for newbies like me. We still have a ton to learn about the game, but if you’re interested in trying it, here are my very early impressions. Since then, we’ve jumped in two or three times to explore the start of the story and level up to about level 20. For me, two of those hours were devoted to character creation, which took up most of our first night playing together. We’ve only played for about six hours so far, if I had to guess. I tried playing Star Wars: The Old Republic solo several years ago and enjoyed it, but I still got stuck being by myself after awhile.) But my husband was intrigued by the fantasy world and how gorgeous the game looks, so we decided to give it a try. I’m not super into MMOs, especially if I have to play them by myself. It’s an MMO from Pearl Abyss, which I had seen before and thought was pretty - but I hadn’t given it much more thought. As we were browsing co-op games, we stumbled upon Black Desert. As you can probably guess, I love this kind of thing, but it didn’t make for the best co-op experience for how we like to play together. Unfortunately for him, the game is very story-driven, with a lot of running around talking to NPCs. I’d tried the Divinity games before but never got very far with them trying out the turn-based combat with my husband was fun. After watching Baldur’s Gate 3 footage, we were inspired to try another game by Larian Studios, Divinity: Original Sin. We started with Darksiders Genesis on Google Stadia, a top-down hack-n-slash that was fun but, for me, a little mindless. High evasion gear.Recently I’ve been looking for a game I can play with my husband. High evasion gear.Īlmost equivalent to +14 Ultimate Taritas Shoes. Valencia Main Quest Start (from Black Spirit):Īlmost equivalent to +15 Ultimate Taritas Gloves. Perhaps you can get a friend’s help for the tougher Coop quest in this quest line. The gear really isn’t that good, but maybe you are having trouble obtaining anything better. If you are quick and have good enough gear + HP pots, you might make it. There is a Coop quest, in which you have to run inside a dangerous area and run back out. You may need help for this quest line from a friend. The main quest line including Calpheon/Mediah Main quest lines are all required in order to start the Valencia Main quest line. The following gear is obtained in Valencia, by completing the Main Valencia quest line. +5 Kalis Weapon Box, +5 Agerian Armor Box NOTE: the Silver cost for this NPC sold gear may be more expensive than the Central Market at the moment! Check there first. I don’t see this as happening, but you never know! This list is a sort of last resort list, if you can’t find anything on the Marketplace. Weapon and armor NPC shops in regions of Calpheon and Serendia sell already enhanced gear. So whichever green grade weapon you pick, it probably wont last for long. Also, Kzarka boss weapons are the easiest boss gear to obtain. Enhancement could be tricky and expensive. But Elsh weapons are only obtained via one quest ( Black Spirit and the Giant Imp) and could be challenging to obtain via the Marketplace. It also has a 5% chance to heal HP on hit. The Elsh accuracy and damage buff will make you do more damage with your Awakened skills. The AP is low, but in later levels you may use your Awakening weapon more, depending on your class, play style, and level. The accuracy and damage to all species buff is the same as the Kzarka boss mainhand.
For more info from the pro-Bares camp, visit the guide linked above. Traditionally, players opt for the highest AP, but there are those who swear by Bares “effective AP”, etc. Don’t get too heavily invested in them, as you will want to focus on obtaining a boss main hand ASAP. Green grade weapons just help you get to better weapons. Which one is best? I’m going to leave that up to you. Table updated from: BDO Best Weapons for Leveling Up and Starters (2018) Duo Ultimate
