As many of us are relatively new to this game (myself included), having a central area for information / reference is going to be important. If you find any resource that you think might be value added to the rest of the guild please drop the link and a brief description of what it is here for others to use. Once we get some submissions we can organize / categorize for easier use.

Nice list. I use this for cooking. It helps with recipes anyway.

So far, I am useless (ok, more than usual). I do enjoy my sorceress though..damn she packs a punch. Warrior seems to be the standard board and sword which is also good. No idea how to do much, so thanks for the guides. Ill try and figure some more things out and be a bit more active.

For now there's quite a few people in the same boat as you. The game can be a bit overwhelming at first but once you put a few days in you'll figure things out. It seems like most of the classes balance out in their own way so don't feel like you have to play any specific class for early game gratification.

There is a lot of detail here, which is valuable, I'm sure, but how about a Reader's Digest short description. Is this a 3d game, top down UO game, WoW clone, ShadowBane crush to win city conquest game, PvP game, level game, skill based game...?

What genre are we talking about so I can get a point of reference?

Also, is it alpha, beta, or release?

Thanks Jet. Looks pretty good. I'll install tomorrow, and start grinding up. Is there a starting location I should use, or a server I need to select?

Edit: OK, I've bought it. How do i download it?

Edit2: That was intuitive. You have to go to your account page on www.blackdesertonline.com


Who programmed this thing? Koreans?

While I am downloading, I'm looking at the files and tutorials here, but I don't see any KGB specific info. Do we have a command structure yet? What are our goals? Do have an area of operations? Or are we just jumping in and leveling up in preparation for organizing later?

We are on the Edan Server, most of us hang out on Calpheon E1 channel.

There is very little personal trading, which is good and bad. Good it takes away gold sellers and bot activity. Bad because its hard to work on things together. I can't trade you food/drink for steel tools, because you can't trade steel tools.

It might still be the single most disappointing part of the game. I enjoy just about every other aspect.

Might I suggest that we put this information on a sticky post. Taxman told me he saw it in the shout box,but that scrolls away and isn't persistent. Also, we need a better system for getting guided in game. I popped into TeamSpeak to ask about it, and Vyrm put my request into guild chat, but I guess no officers are on to extend a guild invite, or does that need to be done in person.

My game toon is named Yarwain (Owain was taken, dammit), surname AbArawn, in case the guild chat request goes unnoticed.

These 4 links mark the treasure chest spawn locations, that you use your silver keys on. Spawn locations are static but timers are random.

I was in TS tonight - apparently no Officers were in. Not sure how invites work in this game, but my "Family" name is "Taxman" - character is "SneakyTax" (which is kinda weird but.. okay) Level 17-18ish Ranger.

shock is in the middle of moving, he is usually always on. Also zombies can invite but he also plays strange hours. Shock should be gaming normally again soon so we should get your invites out soon. Also it would be helpful if the main post was edited to include all the posted content, so its in one post and we don't have to go though 10 pages to find it all !! XD

everytime you fail at improving your weapon / armor / accessories you get a fail stack, it improves your chances of succeeding next time you try.

Ran across this on Reddit.
Quests that aware skill points, not just skill XP. Good for catching up skill points after a grind.
