The KGB Oracle Forums The KGB Great Hall of History (SECURE) KGB Black Desert Online Just my opinion...

Kegir, although I don't think you should put blinders on and ignore doing a lot of the side quests and other activities you find, you do have to be 50+ to really participate in a lot of the end game guild activities and PVP. So for that reason I think you should be steadily leveling while exploring / enjoying whatever other aspects of the game you want.

The MOST important quests to not miss out on are your Black Spirit quest line and the ones with Storage Expansion rewards!

Typically, you don't get any leveling XP from quests though - just killing mobs/grinding is the fastest for that. You will get some leveling XP for crafting/fishing apparently as well, but not as much as can be earned in grinding masses of mobs.

If you do want to trade/craft/etc you will NEED to do the quests to unlock nodes with contribution points. That is the only place you get CP (Contribution Points) from.
