Thank you for clarifying this! I wasn't 100% sure where the storage led to when I bought property on a farm near Velia today, but I had my suspicions haha
holy moly, I never knew this, you that feature of quick buy property , it bought stuff. and after seeing this comment and checking the farms, I had like almost 30 storage space I haven't upgraded yet, what a waste of contribution point, thank you so much!
Cities that I've built in:. (I'll add a couple that I like, but haven't built in and some I hate.) Duvencrune:. One of my main bases. As you stated, Horse taming and I honestly like the aesthetic and feel of it. Plus I'm a fan of mountains and dragons. Also, lending to Duvencrune is that it does have some nice houses in it as well (some of them is on par with the larger Heidel houses.)...some of the best designed houses and it really has a nice soundtrack that fits it. Plus, to me....in a world filled with monsters, battles and massive bandit camps, it's location and design just makes sense....A walled mountain area, far away from most things and difficult to get there on foot. It would be a pain to lead an army up to Duvencrune to try to assail it. In short, it makes the most sense to me, design-wise of all the cities. Grana:. My other main city. I really love the aesthetics here also, and the way it also gently merges with nature. It has the biggest house in the game, so although Duvencrune is my main city with an extremely good house, the best house is located at Grana...and I consider it my vacation manor as a result. Heidel:. Central location. One of the biggest houses. Did I mention it's central? At various points, you WILL cross Heidel. So it makes sense to have a residence here. House wise, Heidel 9-4 is the first large house you have access to, and it will remain one of the largest houses in the game. Oh. Did I mention it's central? Enough said. Calpheon....I may have misspelled this:. I come near this city often enough to purchase a nice house in it. Most of its houses are on the small size though. The city itself is large, fortified and it does one of the best jobs of feeling like an actual city. Some things aesthetically don't make sense, regarding it's surroundings, but it's definitely a very useful city to have a hub at. Veila:. Tutorial house for a quest, but not a bad location. Fairly central and by a port. Also, quite a few quests and events do happen by or near Veila, allowing it to remain an important location, despite being a beginner area. ________________________________ Extra shoutouts:. Epheria port. A nice port town, has a nice feel to it. You have to go through a literal battle a few yards from Calpheon to get to it, but it is a nice little location and anyone involved primarily with sea-life should acquaint themselves with this location. (I can't speak on the houses here....just the aesthetics.) Island ports.... You're far away from civilization and far away from most monsters (as far as how realistic the world is...not everyone is a strong adventurer like us afterall. Small little towns and I can see people may choose to live here. ----------_____________________----------- The ones I don't like.... Alttinova,... A maze. Most of its houses are small. For a higher end area, it's got wooden Palisades. It does a good job of feeling like a city though and it does have a nice aethetic. Alttinova is the gate town before.... Valencia....let me say first that the city is beautiful. It's well defended....because who's sending an army through the desert of Valencia. And many aspects near it are unique to it. It also is a city that doesn't make sense .... And honestly it would starve out. It's a large scale city in the middle of the desert, surrounded by lions and elephants. Their crops would be trampled and their trade routes attacked. Also, it's Valencia, so it's the biggest pain to get to and the Valencia 2 questline was the worst experience I had in this game...to the point that I refuse to ride through it, even now. When I came through, it was during the oasis....now that the desert is back in full bloom, I want nothing to do with it. I haven't been back to Valencia since I returned to the game. I will only go to Valencia by airship or boat. There is a side path I know to get to Valencia, and even that is annoying. I just don't like Valencia.
I live in Velia. I feel like it's the most versatile location in the entire game. Plus I own the 5 Contribution Point house as a residence with it fully decorated, moving elsewhere would be hugely time consuming.
Greetings from Duvencrune! Interesting points you got about why to settle at Duvencrune. Tho I personally pick it as my home city when Dreighan was released, just because I love mountains and architecture of that city. Usefulness goes second after the beauty of the place for me (Tho Odraxxia is tempting me very much). But I appreciate your video because I had no idea of Horse part :D
Heidel and O'draxxia forever for my home bases. Love both of the cities and they are great for my life skill & grinding needs. Plus the homes I have are the double floor ones and they look amazing with furniture and incredible views out of the windows.
Basically each city has its uses and you will use them all in most cases not just one, even though your mind set will be geared towards picking ONE when you first start out, work to get out of that mind set. Calph has amazing storage. Velia and port ephiria are bartering, and velia is enhancing still I think. Heidel is central. Kama iis near the best afk fishing spot in the game and some important mobs for grinding. Altanova isn't used for anything specifically except like manufacturing grunil a long time ago, because sand grain is much preferred for desert grinding and valencia is where stuff goes if you use maids in the desert or if you are trading. My biggest tip would be if you don't want to be locked down to one city, keep 20-50 contribution points free. It comes in handy a lot actually because you can purchase a house, use it once, and then sell it again instead of putting down roots and it makes every city feel like your home city as far as cooking and alchemy and stuff go.
When you say "setting up a base" it does sound like work. Its so easy to get storage space. The real pain is the logistics that comes with the storages later. Knowing what stuff is where and how to easy get a hold of it. ^^ Also getting a decent house with nice furniture in it, is much more work actually. Even if such things are not really rewarded by the game unfortunately. Rank 1 houses are usually just ugly because they are stuffed with tons of the same cash shop items. I hope some day they give us a nice rewarding system for beautifully furnished houses.
@@jhmi7877 Well I thought about that too. Warning - Long text incoming!^^ So... You can't do it with the current point system. We would need a second one. One that would count the ID's of the different items. There are a ton of quest and crafting furnitures in the game. They look nice and help building a real house but they don't give many points for the old system. But the more you have in one house they would give like "design points" or something. The system calculates the variety of items you have placed and penalizes every item that is used more than maybe twice or so. Also the building size should count then. A small house with many different items give more points than a large house with the same amount, because theres more space to fill. Downside is... you can still just throw the stuff in the house without arranging them properly. But it would punish those who buy 50 times the same chandelier to fill the house. That way they may have a rank 1 house for the special node but no points for design. So short: Keep the old system for the cash shop freaks. But give us also a design system for rewarding us for the variety of items we collect during the adventure and show others in our houses.^^
@@CasmirJeyss I like this! I think the design concept works out well, and it would put more value on the items we obtain and craft in game as opposed to getting most of the points through the cash shop. I'd like to see maybe some kind of resting buff based on your design points too. I know we already have those through certain items, but perhaps there's something that could be added. Can't think of anything atm but I'm sure there is!
@@jhmi7877 When it comes to rewards I'm not sure. It shouldn't be too much, so people can't complain. And they always complain. ;) I still think you can't really do much in your house. Cooking, alchemy, processing (but not as good as at the storage keeper), sleeping or maybe reading a book from the shelf (honestly who does this?). So in the end you don't spend much time there unless you do one of these things. Since I have more than one beautiful furnished house (imo^^), you should get at least some points for the family fame or something. I also can think of a crafting or processing buff while at home. Or for every set count of points you get a permanent Life-Exp Buff while in the house. Or while you cook/alchemy you get a small mastery boost. I can think of a lot of things. But they just must not be too good or the system will be broken. Balancing would be the biggest problem with that I guess. Don't know... maybe I should suggest that to them somewhere.
@@CasmirJeyss Agreed. I wouldn't want anything too great either. More of like just a side bonus. I like the fame aspect of it, as it fits with that theme I think. Giving a small boost to alch./cooking in the house I think is fair too. That would then make it so people would arrange their house in a usable way, versus just cramming stuff in it XD Definitely think it would be a great suggestion :)
Believe you me, people who still grind Sherekhan and Blood Wolves do it because they really love it! Really loving potion pieces not dropping for months!
Great video, couple of points though: Altinova is great if you're into gathering rocks over at pilgrim's, i usually drop off my junk there before/after rock gathering and move on to Calpheon which is the main city i use for alchemy because it has access to so much storage and lodging. Altinova also has the advantage of having access to plenty of good nodes, having cheap housing options and being the place where i make silver embroidered clothes. You also mention that the new region is the only place where you can make master matchlocks which is wrong, you can set up a workshop in duvencrune as well which is what i use. I'm pretty much all over the place though, I use Velia as my main storage city, i have the storage there completely maxed out and all the enchanting/cooking stuff goes in there. I use olvia as my hunting/imperial box city. And i have duvencrune to craft advanced stations and of course for storing horses. Calpheon is where my main residence is, it's got a nice view and it's only 1 CP, I'm very stingy with my CP usage ;c
I'm posted up in Hiedel just like so many others. Great location for bringing all my alts together to exchange stuff. Good spot for Kzarka spawn (you can get the notification and almost make it before its dead). Kinda have a fun idea to pair off all my characters and set them up in different locations depending on life skills and grind with their own houses. Would be a fun time waster.
I'm new to the game and I've been tearing up your channel. I'm so grateful. You've been such a huge help. I have a season character level 58 Striker and I just finished both Valencia questlines. I've invested storage space in Heidel but now I'm currently trying to plan out my residences since we're only allowed to own 5 of them. I'd like to share what I have planned out. I'd appreciate some insight and feedback from anyone. Valencia - Other than the practical reasons you mentioned in this video, I also just love the design, appearance, and culture of this place. It reminds me of Sunspear and the Martells. Heidel - If I'm using this as a central storage point, I figure I should own a residence here as well. Tarif - It's not very practical but I really just want to own something in Mediah which I'm quite fond of from the appearance and story. Tarif is such a small charming and quaint village which I find so appealing. I want something here for superficial reasons. Duvencrune - I've never been here yet but I love the biome (trees and mountains). I'll definitely have a good look in and around this place. ISLAND - I'd love to own a house on some island just coz.
I was set up in Heidel like everyone else, but I find it very crowded and often have to camp for Imperial cooking turn in to get my boxes in. I moved to Calpheon where it is easier to set up 10 farms together, not as crowded, and Imperial turn in is much easier without having to server hop 2652765 times. Calpheon also has a few long paths to horse train when not tending farms or cooking. also with a fast horse its literally 60 seconds from Heidel if need be. Another great video as always, but is missing one thing.... hmmmm.. oh yea, the headband.
@@karenfox5004 I was meaning how it was crowded and camping for imperials since Calpheon is so overly crowded I hated it, AND Imperials is no longer based on the server just on you so turn in however many you like now as opposed to when you wrote your comment.
@@mushulmao8358 it is. But i set up residence close to imperial trade manager. You have imperial trade there, central market, storage, and stable right there. Not to mention inn keeper close to grab cookies supplies.
My farm is in Velia, barter stuff at Illya/PE, food/cook in Valencia, tame/breed horses in Duvencrune, mats like rocks/logs/traces/etc in Calpheon and enhancement/boss loot/giveaway stuff in Glish. Yay for alts ^3^
I have velia heidel and calpheon all connected and plan to basically be in all three. Velia is the most developed. Heidel I have like 30% not really using calpheon besides storage. Just discovering this game, great video
This is a perfect example of why you want a T8 horse ASAP. Courser if you can, otherwise Sprint,Instant Accel,S.Instant Accel are the speed skills you want. Don't forget a riding crop.
Best city is calpheon, its the perfect mix of high class and working class. It dont outright hide the slums or the super posh parts, but its still there. Town is charming, but depending on where you go, you have the "im safe cause people are around..... RIght?" feeling. And One of the gates has bank, 2 story house, Market, Worker trader and chef\cooking supplies right around the corner. perfect for the eyes, perfect for the vibe and perfect for lazy people like me! OH and not far away from tons of wood (trees), also not too far off for a "quick trip" too the docks and your SHIP, or Grana and the LSD forest if you got a good mount or a armor stone is a baloonride\hop skip nd a jump away !
Altinova is a good midway place between Mediah and Valencia. It’s definitely not a pretty city and the houses are nothing to brag about but it has just about everything a person needs.
@@gildeddrake1479 I am not versed enough in the game to speak on specific perks and of course taste differs, but I was completely blown away by Altinova's style. I almost cried when I first explored it because I find it so beautiful. Valencia is awesome too, but it lacks the coziness of Altinova imo.
Hey EvilDoUsHarm! I started this game a couple days ago and fell in love with it. I see you recommend Velia as home base but then you have a different city as a home base in the video. Do you recommend Velia for startes like me or should I go with the town where you have your base? Left a like on the majority of your videos and subscribed as this helps out a new player ALOT - Thanks for all the work you put in!
I know this is old and I don't think anyone replied but I'm a big fan of EDUH videos as a newish player too. Others can correct me if I'm wrong but he uses any particular city as his home base depending on what life skill he is focusing on for the time being. He's changed cities over time again depending on his focus. For new/newish players I think the video above does a good job of summarizing what city you should set up with (Calpheon for cooking as an example). But you really can't go wrong with Velia and you can multiple residences. For example I use Velia as my central storage/dumping ground for gear, enhancement materials and general stuff. My new alts can then pick up anything they need there. My more advanced gear is stored in Heidl for whenever I want to swap stuff out. I was also using Heidl to get my housing score up but think I'll be moving my interior stuff to Grana. Calpheon I use as my cooking HQ. Duvencrume is my fishing HQ and I'll probably base my Alchemy station there someday. And like I said Grana will be for interior decoration and storage for grinding Polly's forest, etc. Hope that helps as an example.
@@kobiejacobs771 I have followed him for soon 2 years now and actually made me a little sad he never replied, however I will reply to you. He mainly used Heidel as home town and then moved to the winter region: "Eilton" as both of them benefit him the most as lifeskiller. :)
Odraxxia has the cheapest storage available, 5 level-5 storage houses for 1+2+3+4+5 CP, best for a dump storage. Valencia has a Turinng Gates villa inside the city, very very very good for a free-to-play player who is into lifeskill.
Nice vid man.. the lil things such as the Duvencourte thing was nice b/c its not like theres alot of info about theres a nice daily routine there, and the various vendors.
Heyyy, to clarify, I am a newbie, why not live in altinova? (makes sense to me cus of all the storage available, and the many grinding spots around, you got most of the NPCs you need right there, I get its not central, but still.
I’m thinking about moving to altinova. I mostly grind Cadry’s and other desert mobs and it has got access to the ocean. Also I do a lot of pila fe scrolls.
I have had a home in Calpheon, and Heidel, and after about a month I left Caltheon to barely ever go back. I am a Lifeskiller and just preferred the convenience of Heidel over the big city.
As someone who actually moved from Heidel to Calpheon for Crating and Trading, since Heidel is considered too inefficient and I'm both too low level for Grana in general and I don't want to live so far away from things yet and especially a port since I want to barter too and Port Epheria with it's maxxed out shipyards is right there , I've found Calpheon much more convenient if you actually want to make shit yourself. Plus when it comes to sheer variety, it pretty much outmatches nearly every other zone. Since I want to trade - I can make virtually crates for any kind of stock, and sell them at a constant profit because I spend nothing on this either way, and with good workers you can make daily trips consistently and make good profit. But it requires a lot of contribution, and I personally just invest in other cities where I can get stuff with minimal c points to get extra shit and then transport the goods to calph at the end of the day. It's a middleman's living spot, in a way. You want to not spend a lot of cash, you want to make most stuff yourself, and you also don't want to be so far away from anything else like world bosses. I like it a lot, good little spot. Maybe I'll move on for the future, but right now? Calph's treating me real good.
Thanks for the video. I’ve been playing this game on and off for 3 years and I just barely got to Kamasylvia and Grána. I just got to 180 AP a few days ago but the time to get there was definitely not worth it. They made the progression system so horribly tedious and overly expensive that I’m honestly surprised anyone still plays this. The combat is fun but the fact that it takes years to get anywhere makes it boring. Any advice on how to get better weapons faster or armor faster? I’ve heard of legendary people in the 300 AP range but I’ve never heard of or spoken to anyone in any Guilds that know how to do it. Everyone is stuck around 200 AP/DP and lower. It seems like the Devs have locked off huge parts of the game. Some places on the map recommend over 200 AP but nobody can ever get there. Maybe they’re only open in Korean servers?
I have guild mates that have 270~ AP and they've been playing a lot for 2 years. So I do agree that the progression from AP of late 100s and beyond is incredibly steep. There are some guides out there for getting higher gear for more AP through bosses and such. However, instead of enhancing and grinding for gear on your own, you can just go on the money route. Because of the changes they made to lifeskills, there's avenues of making a lot of money real easily. Still needs effort of course, but not so darn tedious. So make money, then buy better gear off the market. I'm personally going on this route through bartering.
@@xythe7th guess I can stop looking for my old link. Check out the latest ball/live event or Evil's latest video. Port Ratt: Musa, Maehwa, Lahn, Ninja, Kuno lore origins
little late poster here, but I really like all the cities. Atmosphere wise Grana, Duvencrune, and Altinova are my pics. But for convenience, I set up in Heidel. I really really really wish they would create a new zone with a south-east asia flair. I'd be there in a heartbeat!
The road map has an Asian themed region being added at the end of 2022. But it is on the second continent, so not very convenient to reach... it's a 40 minute boat ride from velia!
Good day. I need your help again bro. can you put up a guide on the bonus quest "cooking for calpheon slums" - the reward of 1k milk daily seems to be very feasible to me. this can help out a lot to those doing imperial cooking(sute tea) Ive tried doing this but kindly lost a long the way after I gave the 100 meat pie to giovan. decided to move on to other quest and got run out of space for my other daily quest. I forfeited this quest and when I decided to do this again, found myself back to tranan underfoe - first line of quest. hehehe
bdo codex says you can craft master matchlock in most cities.. so are you right, or are they right? well, valencia, odraxyia, kamasylvia, glish, duvencrune. i guess thats far from all.
I live in Velia solely because it has a great afk fishing spot and it’s close to one of my favourite spots to farm for armour and that’s the Helms post! I don’t know why but I tried to move to Heidel because it generally is a great spot for its convenience but it just didn’t feel right!
@@ArtsyShiny oh thank you. I will try it. I am new. I created my char on the last day of the season so i only have naru and osasis gear... waiting for the new season. I have to earn some gold before new season starts. This seems like a good way since i like to grind
So early graduation has been introduced now but we need 228 ap and 298 dp do u think u could do a small guide on how to get there easily I mean I’ve got full nezzar gear but I’m on 291 dp I think I need like it or two pen tuvalas with the nezzar but I’m not sure lol
Nothing is really wrong with it. Just not pretty, crowded and not enough usage considering it's size. If you like the look and feel of it then go ahead, altinova is just kind of a meme in the community.
I'm housed at Grana I know it's kinda a pain when I got to ride all the way to the desert for rift boss but I farm trees/star end and thornwood so it's the safe bet lol.
@@dmdavidson4240 It's a hot tub from the pearl shop, judging by the name, it must be sold around St Valentine's (according to bdo fashion page, it's called l'Elisir d'amore).
I hate living in duvencrune for the exact same reason I love it: The people that's there is mostly AFK Even though I like the fact that imperial boxes never run out (because no one makes imperials in duvencrune) sometimes I'd like to meet people I could suddenly speaking to him, Duvencrune gets extremely lonely at times
I wanna do everything [on one char], and this kinda makes me realize that.. I probably can't, or I'd really only be able to focus on one at a time, due to travel reasons.
Well am i doing something wrong? Velia is my storage, heidel is crafting ground, calpheon is siege weapon storage, Epheria is ship manufacture, Duvencrune dragon weapon asembly and Valencia coconut farm?
Since I mostly Afk (package from Grana) I naturally started basing my nodes around Heidel and anywhere from there to Grana. Also a lot of peeps are there so it doesn't feel lonely.
I had not discovered altinova when I watched this video 1 week ago but now I'm completing Mediah's quests and the joke is even funnier bc GOD I hate that city
the least populated city is probably valencia, but there are lots of locations where you can put a house in that are away from people. Lema island, and the tree houses in the trent forrest area are the two coming to my mind

Basically each city has its uses and you will use them all in most cases not just one, even though your mind set will be geared towards picking ONE when you first start out, work to get out of that mind set. Calph has amazing storage. Velia and port ephiria are bartering, and velia is enhancing still I think. Heidel is central. Kama iis near the best afk fishing spot in the game and some important mobs for grinding. Altanova isn't used for anything specifically except like manufacturing grunil a long time ago, because sand grain is much preferred for desert grinding and valencia is where stuff goes if you use maids in the desert or if you are trading. My biggest tip would be if you don't want to be locked down to one city, keep 20-50 contribution points free. It comes in handy a lot actually because you can purchase a house, use it once, and then sell it again instead of putting down roots and it makes every city feel like your home city as far as cooking and alchemy and stuff go.
I didnt know Jesus Christ have a youtube channel
Have you heard the good news?
He even has a second channel called Penguinz0
When you say "setting up a base" it does sound like work. Its so easy to get storage space. The real pain is the logistics that comes with the storages later. Knowing what stuff is where and how to easy get a hold of it. ^^
Also getting a decent house with nice furniture in it, is much more work actually. Even if such things are not really rewarded by the game unfortunately. Rank 1 houses are usually just ugly because they are stuffed with tons of the same cash shop items. I hope some day they give us a nice rewarding system for beautifully furnished houses.
I want this too. Not sure how they'll be able to tell which houses just have hundreds of chandeliers versus ones that are actually nicely laid out.
@@jhmi7877 Well I thought about that too. Warning - Long text incoming!^^
So... You can't do it with the current point system. We would need a second one. One that would count the ID's of the different items. There are a ton of quest and crafting furnitures in the game. They look nice and help building a real house but they don't give many points for the old system. But the more you have in one house they would give like "design points" or something. The system calculates the variety of items you have placed and penalizes every item that is used more than maybe twice or so. Also the building size should count then. A small house with many different items give more points than a large house with the same amount, because theres more space to fill. Downside is... you can still just throw the stuff in the house without arranging them properly. But it would punish those who buy 50 times the same chandelier to fill the house. That way they may have a rank 1 house for the special node but no points for design.
So short: Keep the old system for the cash shop freaks. But give us also a design system for rewarding us for the variety of items we collect during the adventure and show others in our houses.^^
@@CasmirJeyss I like this! I think the design concept works out well, and it would put more value on the items we obtain and craft in game as opposed to getting most of the points through the cash shop. I'd like to see maybe some kind of resting buff based on your design points too. I know we already have those through certain items, but perhaps there's something that could be added. Can't think of anything atm but I'm sure there is!
@@jhmi7877 When it comes to rewards I'm not sure. It shouldn't be too much, so people can't complain. And they always complain. ;)
I still think you can't really do much in your house. Cooking, alchemy, processing (but not as good as at the storage keeper), sleeping or maybe reading a book from the shelf (honestly who does this?). So in the end you don't spend much time there unless you do one of these things.
Since I have more than one beautiful furnished house (imo^^), you should get at least some points for the family fame or something. I also can think of a crafting or processing buff while at home. Or for every set count of points you get a permanent Life-Exp Buff while in the house. Or while you cook/alchemy you get a small mastery boost. I can think of a lot of things. But they just must not be too good or the system will be broken. Balancing would be the biggest problem with that I guess.
Don't know... maybe I should suggest that to them somewhere.
@@CasmirJeyss Agreed. I wouldn't want anything too great either. More of like just a side bonus. I like the fame aspect of it, as it fits with that theme I think. Giving a small boost to alch./cooking in the house I think is fair too. That would then make it so people would arrange their house in a usable way, versus just cramming stuff in it XD
Definitely think it would be a great suggestion :)
Your guides are amazing! ty bdo jesus
Glad you like them!

@@EvilDoUsHarm ...oh here, you dropped my wallet. :)
BWAHAHAHA
#Grana , cause its bootiful. LOL.
"Someday that'll open up as an expansion..." Well, that aged quite well actually haha
Believe you me, people who still grind Sherekhan and Blood Wolves do it because they really love it! Really loving potion pieces not dropping for months!
Great video, couple of points though: Altinova is great if you're into gathering rocks over at pilgrim's, i usually drop off my junk there before/after rock gathering and move on to Calpheon which is the main city i use for alchemy because it has access to so much storage and lodging. Altinova also has the advantage of having access to plenty of good nodes, having cheap housing options and being the place where i make silver embroidered clothes. You also mention that the new region is the only place where you can make master matchlocks which is wrong, you can set up a workshop in duvencrune as well which is what i use.
I'm pretty much all over the place though, I use Velia as my main storage city, i have the storage there completely maxed out and all the enchanting/cooking stuff goes in there. I use olvia as my hunting/imperial box city. And i have duvencrune to craft advanced stations and of course for storing horses. Calpheon is where my main residence is, it's got a nice view and it's only 1 CP, I'm very stingy with my CP usage ;c
Why did you skip Altinova?
I'm wondering this as well.
O'draxxia, definitely. That music
Yep O'draxxia is my favourite city in the game.
I'm posted up in Hiedel just like so many others. Great location for bringing all my alts together to exchange stuff. Good spot for Kzarka spawn (you can get the notification and almost make it before its dead). Kinda have a fun idea to pair off all my characters and set them up in different locations depending on life skills and grind with their own houses. Would be a fun time waster.
I'm new to the game and I've been tearing up your channel. I'm so grateful. You've been such a huge help.
I have a season character level 58 Striker and I just finished both Valencia questlines. I've invested storage space in Heidel but now I'm currently trying to plan out my residences since we're only allowed to own 5 of them. I'd like to share what I have planned out. I'd appreciate some insight and feedback from anyone.
Valencia - Other than the practical reasons you mentioned in this video, I also just love the design, appearance, and culture of this place. It reminds me of Sunspear and the Martells.
Heidel - If I'm using this as a central storage point, I figure I should own a residence here as well.
Tarif - It's not very practical but I really just want to own something in Mediah which I'm quite fond of from the appearance and story. Tarif is such a small charming and quaint village which I find so appealing. I want something here for superficial reasons.
Duvencrune - I've never been here yet but I love the biome (trees and mountains). I'll definitely have a good look in and around this place.
ISLAND - I'd love to own a house on some island just coz.
I was set up in Heidel like everyone else, but I find it very crowded and often have to camp for Imperial cooking turn in to get my boxes in. I moved to Calpheon where it is easier to set up 10 farms together, not as crowded, and Imperial turn in is much easier without having to server hop 2652765 times. Calpheon also has a few long paths to horse train when not tending farms or cooking. also with a fast horse its literally 60 seconds from Heidel if need be. Another great video as always, but is missing one thing.... hmmmm.. oh yea, the headband.
My how times have changed since you posted this.
@@generalawareness101 I have been in Calpheon since . So far I haven't found a reason to move.
@@karenfox5004 I was meaning how it was crowded and camping for imperials since Calpheon is so overly crowded I hated it, AND Imperials is no longer based on the server just on you so turn in however many you like now as opposed to when you wrote your comment.
Calpheon is big isnt it?
@@mushulmao8358 it is. But i set up residence close to imperial trade manager. You have imperial trade there, central market, storage, and stable right there. Not to mention inn keeper close to grab cookies supplies.
I personally prefer Velia. Great vid.
Thank you! I love love your videos! I'm new to the game and have learned so much from watching you, please keep up the awesome work!
Glad you like them!
My farm is in Velia, barter stuff at Illya/PE, food/cook in Valencia, tame/breed horses in Duvencrune, mats like rocks/logs/traces/etc in Calpheon and enhancement/boss loot/giveaway stuff in Glish. Yay for alts ^3^
Nice setup, the Glish thing is huge, gonna use this.
I have velia heidel and calpheon all connected and plan to basically be in all three. Velia is the most developed. Heidel I have like 30% not really using calpheon besides storage. Just discovering this game, great video
These videos are brilliant! The Duvencrune guide you linked to is going to be incredibly useful to me. Thank you!
Glad you like them!
Actually Grana is also a great city to make crates in, deliver them at Valencia. Easy distance profit.
Except for the profit part
This is a perfect example of why you want a T8 horse ASAP. Courser if you can, otherwise Sprint,Instant Accel,S.Instant Accel are the speed skills you want. Don't forget a riding crop.
Best city is calpheon, its the perfect mix of high class and working class.
It dont outright hide the slums or the super posh parts, but its still there.
Town is charming, but depending on where you go, you have the "im safe cause people are around..... RIght?" feeling.
And One of the gates has bank, 2 story house, Market, Worker trader and chef\cooking supplies right around the corner.
perfect for the eyes, perfect for the vibe and perfect for lazy people like me!
OH and not far away from tons of wood (trees), also not too far off for a "quick trip" too the docks and your SHIP, or Grana and the LSD forest if you got a good mount or a armor stone is a baloonride\hop skip nd a jump away !
Glish also has the Tier 4 Tool Work shop for making Master Matchlock
Or for making the Advanced Alchemy tool.
Altinova is a good midway place between Mediah and Valencia. It’s definitely not a pretty city and the houses are nothing to brag about but it has just about everything a person needs.
Altinova is actually the city I like the most in design...
@@gildeddrake1479 I am not versed enough in the game to speak on specific perks and of course taste differs, but I was completely blown away by Altinova's style. I almost cried when I first explored it because I find it so beautiful. Valencia is awesome too, but it lacks the coziness of Altinova imo.
Hey EvilDoUsHarm!
I started this game a couple days ago and fell in love with it. I see you recommend Velia as home base but then you have a different city as a home base in the video. Do you recommend Velia for startes like me or should I go with the town where you have your base?
Left a like on the majority of your videos and subscribed as this helps out a new player ALOT - Thanks for all the work you put in!
I know this is old and I don't think anyone replied but I'm a big fan of EDUH videos as a newish player too. Others can correct me if I'm wrong but he uses any particular city as his home base depending on what life skill he is focusing on for the time being. He's changed cities over time again depending on his focus. For new/newish players I think the video above does a good job of summarizing what city you should set up with (Calpheon for cooking as an example). But you really can't go wrong with Velia and you can multiple residences. For example I use Velia as my central storage/dumping ground for gear, enhancement materials and general stuff. My new alts can then pick up anything they need there. My more advanced gear is stored in Heidl for whenever I want to swap stuff out. I was also using Heidl to get my housing score up but think I'll be moving my interior stuff to Grana. Calpheon I use as my cooking HQ. Duvencrume is my fishing HQ and I'll probably base my Alchemy station there someday. And like I said Grana will be for interior decoration and storage for grinding Polly's forest, etc. Hope that helps as an example.
@@kobiejacobs771 I have followed him for soon 2 years now and actually made me a little sad he never replied, however I will reply to you.
He mainly used Heidel as home town and then moved to the winter region: "Eilton" as both of them benefit him the most as lifeskiller. :)
Odraxxia has the cheapest storage available, 5 level-5 storage houses for 1+2+3+4+5 CP, best for a dump storage. Valencia has a Turinng Gates villa inside the city, very very very good for a free-to-play player who is into lifeskill.
Nice vid man.. the lil things such as the Duvencourte thing was nice b/c its not like theres alot of info about theres a nice daily routine there, and the various vendors.
I did moved from Haidel to Duvencrune. Is not that far away and its great for pega-diving from cliffs :)
Heyyy, to clarify, I am a newbie, why not live in altinova? (makes sense to me cus of all the storage available, and the many grinding spots around, you got most of the NPCs you need right there, I get its not central, but still.
Amazing video. Thought I was getting a city to progression video, didnt think I was getting some very useful info on Bartering.
Also worth mentioning Illia island storage investment to use as a Bartering base.
I’m thinking about moving to altinova. I mostly grind Cadry’s and other desert mobs and it has got access to the ocean. Also I do a lot of pila fe scrolls.
The Altinova thing was funny.. but it still has its uses .
I set up in altinova xD, literally have half the city bought, yeahh it provides access to the mines and gib me zinc ores for my galleass
Who needs a city when you can live in a treehouse at long leaf forest sentry post.
In Oddraxia u have a mithryl mine which is can be considered as a passive income
I have had a home in Calpheon, and Heidel, and after about a month I left Caltheon to barely ever go back. I am a Lifeskiller and just preferred the convenience of Heidel over the big city.
As someone who actually moved from Heidel to Calpheon for Crating and Trading, since Heidel is considered too inefficient and I'm both too low level for Grana in general and I don't want to live so far away from things yet and especially a port since I want to barter too and Port Epheria with it's maxxed out shipyards is right there , I've found Calpheon much more convenient if you actually want to make shit yourself. Plus when it comes to sheer variety, it pretty much outmatches nearly every other zone. Since I want to trade - I can make virtually crates for any kind of stock, and sell them at a constant profit because I spend nothing on this either way, and with good workers you can make daily trips consistently and make good profit.
But it requires a lot of contribution, and I personally just invest in other cities where I can get stuff with minimal c points to get extra shit and then transport the goods to calph at the end of the day.
It's a middleman's living spot, in a way. You want to not spend a lot of cash, you want to make most stuff yourself, and you also don't want to be so far away from anything else like world bosses.
I like it a lot, good little spot. Maybe I'll move on for the future, but right now? Calph's treating me real good.
somehow i like port epheria is beautiful and close to calpheon. there and heidel are my choices
same here
Thanks for the video. I’ve been playing this game on and off for 3 years and I just barely got to Kamasylvia and Grána. I just got to 180 AP a few days ago but the time to get there was definitely not worth it. They made the progression system so horribly tedious and overly expensive that I’m honestly surprised anyone still plays this.
The combat is fun but the fact that it takes years to get anywhere makes it boring.
Any advice on how to get better weapons faster or armor faster? I’ve heard of legendary people in the 300 AP range but I’ve never heard of or spoken to anyone in any Guilds that know how to do it. Everyone is stuck around 200 AP/DP and lower. It seems like the Devs have locked off huge parts of the game. Some places on the map recommend over 200 AP but nobody can ever get there. Maybe they’re only open in Korean servers?
I have guild mates that have 270~ AP and they've been playing a lot for 2 years. So I do agree that the progression from AP of late 100s and beyond is incredibly steep. There are some guides out there for getting higher gear for more AP through bosses and such. However, instead of enhancing and grinding for gear on your own, you can just go on the money route. Because of the changes they made to lifeskills, there's avenues of making a lot of money real easily. Still needs effort of course, but not so darn tedious. So make money, then buy better gear off the market.
I'm personally going on this route through bartering.
Just starting on this game and thank you
im in velia, bought all the storage there and set up my fences at loggia farm, probably gonna move to heidel for imperial cooking purposes

little late poster here, but I really like all the cities. Atmosphere wise Grana, Duvencrune, and Altinova are my pics. But for convenience, I set up in Heidel. I really really really wish they would create a new zone with a south-east asia flair. I'd be there in a heartbeat!

Good day. I need your help again bro. can you put up a guide on the bonus quest "cooking for calpheon slums" - the reward of 1k milk daily seems to be very feasible to me. this can help out a lot to those doing imperial cooking(sute tea)

bdo codex says you can craft master matchlock in most cities.. so are you right, or are they right?
well, valencia, odraxyia, kamasylvia, glish, duvencrune. i guess thats far from all.
I live in Velia solely because it has a great afk fishing spot and it’s close to one of my favourite spots to farm for armour and that’s the Helms post! I don’t know why but I tried to move to Heidel because it generally is a great spot for its convenience but it just didn’t feel right!

Nothing is really wrong with it. Just not pretty, crowded and not enough usage considering it's size. If you like the look and feel of it then go ahead, altinova is just kind of a meme in the community.
Thats not true, you can craft the master matchlock in Glish too

Valencia cuz im a red player who rides a unicorn... trade buff, grind, and lion meat + titanium crates= BRRRRR
I had not discovered altinova when I watched this video 1 week ago but now I'm completing Mediah's quests and the joke is even funnier bc GOD I hate that city
LOL its best thing is being a port city
All the outlying houses and small villages in velia have houses almost as much as the others :P
What locations is the most isolated place in bro?
the least populated city is probably valencia, but there are lots of locations where you can put a house in that are away from people. Lema island, and the tree houses in the trent forrest area are the two coming to my mind
Funny. I live in Heidel because I'm too lazy to move lol 😆
