The beginning bit is outdated for anyone watching this now when you graduate you can turn all of you pen Tuvala into boss gear and it let's you pick which one you want so even though the boots are muskans you can still get urragans
@@schtazyazan6392 You can get all 3 weapon pieces and all 4 armor pieces, however the 3rd weapon and 3rd/4th armor are not really worth to get it (i can recommend keeping kutum at TET reform 4 cuz it is same sheet ap/dp as PEN)
I found your youtube watching a hilarious enhancing session video when I first started playing the game (barely knew what was going on lol). This video however, is completely invaluable. You've made the process seem simple as far as setting goals on what I need to work on, and the progression feels so much better when you know what you need to work towards. Thanks a ton. I will DEFINITELY be checking out your twitch channel and handing over a twitch prime. Thanks again man it means a lot
Thank you so much for the kind words! Im really happy you find the guide useful, and ill be looking forward to having you come hang out in the stream too =)
As someone who just started playing on PC (been on console a few years) this is possibly the most helpful guide I've watched. This caught me up on so much that console is lacking its insane.
Really glad you found it helpful =) If you are just starting up again on PC, you might find the cooking guide helpful too - its ALOT of "free" silver, and its something you can at least start setting up (the nodes etc) from day 1.
@@BiceptimusPrime I actually watched that just after this video. And I plan on starting that up as I run around doing my season challenges. Keep up the good work bro!
There is a 2022 guide, thats still working, except you should skip dande/kzarka and go for godr/blackstar =) Ill make an update to that soon tho, but its still pretty much on point
PEN Red coral Earrings > TET Distortion. Once you hit 269++ you want Accuracy on top of your AP. 290 AP Monkeys have ~60% hit rate in sycraia, ~70% Stars end, ~80% in Hystria and even worse in higher spots. Sacrifice just a little bit of AP for 2x PEN RCE and you got 96% Sycraia, 100% Stars End/hystria and around 65% Golems. PEN Dawn would of course be better but costs 10x as much. TET Dawn have the same stats as PEN Rce but cost 2x as much. TL;DR 2x PEN RCE more dmg than 2x TET Black Distortion Edit: And no amount of Crystals is gonna make up for that Accuracy loss of using 2x tet disto (or tungrad/narc/whatever).
I dont think you are using the PvE hit calculator correctly. You are wrong, very wrong, on yours numbers. Depending on your Skill Modifiers you can hit 100% in UW before even adding in buffs with full tet acc, right gems and using Distos. Add in %acc and -%eva skill addons and its not even close.
@@BiceptimusPrime Probably depends on Class too? Playing Lahn using 2x tet BS, Pen kutum, c4 armors and the expensive accurac crystals on everything i can feel a huge dmg difference between using 2x pen rce and 2x tet tungrad. Like with the 2x pen rce I do ~20% more dmg at sycraia if i had to guess. Using monster dmg/-DP addon on the first Skill(s) I use per group and after that accuracy/cit chance/crit dmg modifiers. Basically 274ap 2x Rce I deal more dmg than 2x tet tungrad 280 ap. Edit: 2x tet disto would be 6Ap, with brackets 12 ap more and I really dont think that would make up for that ~20%.
@@ukpkmkk5759 You are just stating random numbers man, you are not doing 20% more dmg with RCE. All you gatta do is plug your actual numbers into a PvE hit calculator, factor in your different buffs and skill acc modifiers and you will know if you are hitting the cap or not. I can promise you the problem isnt with Distos :) I just did you the favor and plugged in the numbers. You should be at 93,5% hit rate at UW with distos - WITHOUT factoring in your skill acc modiers. So as long as your abilities has 6,5% acc rate on them, you are hitting 100%. You are doing something wrong man
@@ukpkmkk5759 Make sure you are using the 4% acc skill addon and also the -4% eva addon, and ofc Frenzied Draught. If you arent using those, then yeah, assuming you have really low skill modifers (which i THINK lahn does?) then you would prolly do more dmg with RCE - but its fairly easily fixed!
This is a great guide! I guess it's still valid for the new Winter Season starting on Wednesday...I'm so excited...it will be my first BDO season character!!
Nice video but I´m a pvp player and would like to know what the minimum gear would be to stand a chance vs a full geared player or anything related to pvp like gems, if the lvl of youe character matters, etc.
Great guide. but I‘d like to know, why pen dandelion is better than blackstar. i get the caphras part for to be more flexible when gaining ap, but in pve endgame, what is stronger?
If you can afford PEN bs, then you are prolly full PEN armors and PEN accessories, and sure, its great then. But in general, no, its not worth it because of the price you pay. The 12 acc is really strong and EXTREMELY cheap.
Dude this Was like the most helpfull Video ive Ever seen about bdo. Only sad thing about it is that i didnt see the channel earlier🙏🏼 keep this amazing work
Hey I have a guardian that I’m of course running dr I’m stuck in either going TET distortions or go double pen narcs, I already have a pen bs main hand
Hey! Personally i swapped from double disto to double PEN Narc when i started pushing my armors to c20. The DP increase really helps alot once you start pushing the higher brackets.
Congratulations! Great video. I have a question: Is it worthy to put Caphras in my dande tet (I`m awakening) or it is better to get a dande Pen before put Caphars? Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for this amazing, flawless guide! I do have one question though. Should we get an alchemy stone of destruction along the way, say 6 AP or 8 AP one?
Yeah you want the use the Spirit destruction stone for sure! They are great and cheap. Once they run out of energy, you can grind them up for dust to later feed a normal alc stone or a Vells heart.
Is it better to get V Rednose armour instead of V Dim Tree one with intend to convert it into the Fallen God armour (and save ~1k caphras stones) or is Dim Tree armour bonus more than enough to pay out the caphras difference price, considering the time it will take to grind and get all the upgrades before making a fallen god armour piece?
Id say it depends on the region and how fast you progress. The 200hp is very nice, but if caphras are hard to get, id go red nose for sure. 3bil is alot of silver!
@@BiceptimusPrime Thank you for the answer :) I guess I'll stick to Dim Tree then, 'cause my region always has a lot of caphras available on AH and my progression is really slow atm.
Its the same with Warrior, Zerker, Guardian etc. On paper you would expect DR to be the play, since we are DR classes, but the scaling dosnt change - so if you wanna be tanky (which you do want, to some extend) on classes like ours, Evasion is the way.
Yeah, I should have mentioned that in the guide, thx for picking it up. Dim Tree isnt wrong, but when pushing for Fallen God, it costs 1k less caphras with Red Nose - However on most servers Red Nose is also more expensive than Dim Tree now, because of this. So depending on Caphra price, Dim Tree actually can be the cheaper option. But good looking out!
I'm a 275 Awake AP 309 DP Guardian and feel kind of lost on where to grind. I'm on the TET Blackstar Main Hand step. Should I buy Vell's first or just stick to grinding for TET BS? And if so, any idea on where to grind? I feel so weak in SE.
Does the TET Urugons situation also apply if you're fully Narchillian / Capotia ? It's a 5 DP up and does move me up one bracket from the 278 - 285 to 286 - 292 bracket but really nothing else.
Now that they give you narchillan gear you don't need tuvala anymore, just go from pen naru gear and graduate to be able to use the narchillan (gear between tet and tri boss gear)
Is it worth getting the Combatant Tuvala gloves upgrade? it has the +7 monster DP on it ontop of being pen tuvala? thats kinda where im stuck, since i have 2 boss exchange coupons AND already have full tet wep. (im transfering all the gear to my main since im somewhat new and it would be an upgrade)
Yes, that is very worth getting! If you happen to still have your PEN Tuvala offhand, then upgrading that to Combatant too is prolly your 2 best bets :)
@@BiceptimusPrime ahh sweet. So where i stand now, my boss exchange coupons arent worth using since the combatant would be a little better. My actualy armor is all tri suppressed boss gear at the moment. my season currently has full pen tuvala armor except for boots. and i didnt do anything with the weapons since i have tet boss weapons currently on my main.
There are Seasons in BDO, where newer players can make a character, and progress alot faster to catch up somewhat. At the end of the Season, there is a reward, and you can choose 1 of the previous season rewards if you didnt do them. Thats where the PEN Capotia comes from!
Plug in the numbers in the acc guide like i showed, and see if you need! Lots of time you can get the required accuracy from elsewhere - like skill addons, crystals, etc
How about the akum gear because at full pen akum cost the same as full tet boss armor (on console) and gives more armor like 20 more do. Would it be worth it? Its like 338dp at full caphras 5
I do not believe so, no. Unless you get the Tuvala Weapon Exchange coupons - i believe its one of the things you can get by Exchanging your season "tokens" for rewards
Hey BP I know you said that if you are playing succession, that you dont need to worry about upgrading your awakening weapon past tri dande c19. Does that apply for PVE as well? Like for example, would a TET BS awakening weapon be worse for succession even for grinding?
For PvE the tet BS would im most cases be better for PvE, but not by a lot, and especially not for the price! I just this saturday put out a video on Accuracy in PvE, and i would suggest checking it out. The 12 acc on a c19 dande can be very useful depending on your builds in PvE too. TLDR: the bs is usually better, but its a very bad silver value on it. Most of the time you are way better off investing the price difference in other upgrades
Saw you comment about going for evasion even in pve, is still worth for alle classes or just some i main a wizard awak right now and my main forcus is only pve what do you think the better option would be?
For endgame pve, evasion is better for all classes - even classes like warrior. However, it only becomes relevant at places like Turos, Oluns, Ash Forest and i believe Elvia Realm. Normally i would suggest evasion, as it also is build around using Kutum - so if you have to duel for spot etc, you are build around your PvE setup. For pure pve, and being a wizard, its not gonna be a big difference either way tho! So whatever you feel like is going to be fine honestly.
Good overall guide, but characterizing evasion as being at all tanky against your average pvper (420 acc on bdo planner) pre c9 is a trap. I would suggest staying pure dr until you can gearshift everything at the same time around c9 pen if evasion is your goal. If you don't mind getting blown up, and want to avoid the gearshift, feel free to advance as described.
so i should change my awakening pen tuvala weapon for boss gear and then a few steps later get the kzarka weapon? isnt that a bit of a waste for the boss exchance coupon? thanks for your help :)
Hi, I'm playing Witch on PS4 - EU (FR) I'm actually 275/277AP - 330DP (BS TET / PEN Armor DR) Looking for your video I should change to evasion build, but : * Caphras just implemented on PS4, so it's complicate to up the armor * We're lock on LVL C5 for the moment ... Should I stay playing DR, or can I change my build to evasion ?
You can write a ticket and see if they will change it! Otherwise, it is what it is =) Just make sure you do some Season in the current one too, and pick the Necklace at the end of the current season
So its bad to take TET Dim Chest as Season Reward for Tuvala PEN Chest? Because I still wanted to stay a bit flexible.... When I choose a weapon, I cant switch Class anymore :-/
I dont see why you couldnt switch class if you choose the weapon? That dosnt really change, you have weapons for X class no matter what, because the Tuvala Weapons are still weapons for the old class.
You can reach 269kutum with full journals, vells, and a c4 tet dande. If you're awakening I would buy a tet bs over the PEN dande if your main source of income is grinding. If you're a succession class the obvious choice is a TET BS mainhand. And IMO the mAP from awakening blackstar doesn't justify dropping brackets and species damage so I would stay dande. This is how I would gear myself at least. Gearing really different between succession and awakening.
What if you didn't play season and have no good items? D: At least I have Narchillan and some regular capotia gear. Btw Narchillan shoes are basically he same as Urugon so what should my first priority be? Is TET Kutum shield a better PvE upgrade than accessories?
If you didn't play season, Narchillian Gear is what you should get instead of the Tuvala, and then from there you can follow the guide =) One note tho: The boots are NOT urugons, they are actually muskan style boots. So they should be your first item to replace with either Urugons and Blackstar boots! TET Kutum is a great pve upgrade, but the Narchillian offhand is almost the same, so i would go for TET acc first =)
Yes, keep it for sure! You gain the accuracy and some bonus stats from it. Mainhand weapon is important for awakening, but awakening is not important for succession... its weird, but it is what it is :)
Question, As someone returning after a few years, why do you recommend BS mainhand for awakening classes? There dont seem to be many resources on explaining on the differences between. Like, since you gain the effects of main hand if you wanted to go "Full PvE" wouldnt you go BS main and awakening?
The advantage of using a None-Blackstar weapon, is that you can put caphras into it, to hit some Brackets for bonus ap. Now, your mainhand brackets do NOT do anything when using awakening abilities, so while you can (and should) still use mainhand abilities when awakening, its not a big % of your dmg, and more importantly, you are not going to want to spend caphras on your mainhand for a very long time. So by using Blackstar mainhand, you get 100% of the bonus monster damage applied to your awakening abillities, and you arent really missing out on any of the Kzarka advantages. Now, you DO want to be able to unlock some easy brackets on your awakening weapon, and that will reduce the difference in damage real quick, just getting 1-2 brackets, compared to BS awakening. But bs awakening isnt wrong, it is slightly better for pure pve, but personally i think the versatility of being able to caphras your Prime Weapon, is better.
Does the AP brackets apply to awakening and main hand individually so for example I play awaken sage and I’m at 270 awaken and mainland is 256. does this mean that it’s irelavrnt hitting the next bracket on mainland to do more damage in awakening?
Yes, that is correct. However, if you use any of your mainhand abilities, then those attacks do use your main hand ap and its bracket. Also, you do gain full stats from monster/human damage, accuracy etc from your mainhand on awakening attacks.
You can't make the PEN Blackstar Armor into Obsidian, so if you have PEN Armors, they would be better longterm, as they allow you to caphra up, past the stats of TET Obsidian Blackstar. However, its a pretty good option/alternative to use the Obsidian Armor, as it will be alot cheaper option. But longterm, you will want to get PEN Armor.
Hey Kowita =) Yeah, i would still swap to evasion, atleast endgame pve in current version of the game, evasion is significant stronger. With the reworks, i dont see evasion ever not being the right choice for strikers
Nope, you should check out the 2022 version, which is still more or less up to date. Planning on a fully updated version soon when we get the new region. Only big change, is to use blackstar/godeye weapons instead of kzarka/dande :>
At which point do you actually swap from DR to eva? As soon as you get PEN Leeburs with C0 or do you need the Muskan and Heve, with caphra levels too, before you realistically can switch?
No, that is 1 of 2 items that you should NEVER choose to use the boss exchange coupon on. You want to keep the Tuvala Offhand, and then use the Narchillan Upgrade Stone (forgot the name), to turn it into a Combatan Tuvala Offhand. (the other piece you dont want to make into a boss piece is the boots).
Nope. Its not about the DP number, its about the stats behind that number. And if you are running Muskans, alot of that number is Evasion - but at TET gear you do not have enough evasion to make it work. Get urugons, you wont regret it :)
@@BiceptimusPrime thanks for the response! The reason im asking is that I rarely die from pve on my guardian, while my archer just gets recked by everything. And while farming like maunshaums or smt I dont do alot of damage om my guardian right now.
Depends on playstyle tbh. Most decide to go DR and play a glass cannon, but evasion scaling is really good for sorcs, so they can be VERY tanky and strong with evasion at endgame.
I’m on step 10 currently I have 271Main and 272 awa my class is a ranger with tet uru, beghs gloves grifin helm and tet dim tree , what should I do next? in regards to my gear since I’m a ranger I m not sure if I should continue simply with this gear but pen version.
Yeah, basically same as the guide, but using Bhegs, Urugons and Griffon at pen (dont go eva on ranger!) and you should be fine. Sounds like you are on the right path =)
I mean depends how much you play. Check the prices on the items, and then see how many hours it would take you to earn that silver, and there you go! :> Everyone plays different amounts etc, so i cant really answer that
How would you gear progression change if you missed out on a season and started playing in between? You can still take advantage of Oasis gear, but they will shut it down soon. And also, is it worth going for a TET kzarka first instead of going straight for a PEN as suggested in the guide?
Dont think there is anything out regarding the end of the Oasis event, so you should be just fine using that. However, i would suggest you actually make a season char! You have time to get most of the armors and weapons to PEN before the season ends (all you actually need), and you only need level 20 to be able to get the PEN capotia. In regards to the Kzarka, that depends on what you have. If you are using oasis gear, then YES!! Get tet first, 100%. The reason i jump straight to PEN is because the pen tuvala, IS tet kzarka.
hehe yeah, i know its really sought after, but its so good too! I hear that you can rent Nessar Boots in Valencia City, and they are Urugon boots type, between TRI and TET. So that could be a great option untill you can snag up a pair!
hey i want to get into bdo but everyone keeps telling me i will never reach end game etc etc my question is how long will it take me to get to a decent g.s so i can pvp with some slight p2w ? (if you could include what are the musts to buy with real money ) cant seem to find an answer to those question in 2021 thanks in advance :). ((( one more question i remembered is it better to buy the legendary bundle off steam or just buy the game and spent the equivalent in game )))
Hey giw! imma answer your questions in reverse =) In regards to buying the bundle, the best value is buying the legendary one. However, sometimes there is a 50-70% sale on those bundles, so if you buy the base, you can get lucky and upgrade to the legendary at a massive discount in the future. The p2w is a joke compared to what it was previously. You might want to spent around 100 bucks on convenience items within like the first 6months - and you dont have to worry about this for a while after starting! You get SO many of the previously "required" items (pets, maids, inventory etc) for free now, via quests and login rewards. With the introduction of Seasons and now Season+, its easier and quicker than ever to gear up and get to a competitive level. You can max out your gear on the Season servers (and convert it to normal gear when you are done, at any time), and a new system just introduced last wednesday makes it easier and more streamlined to progress from there. Now, someone coming off season to my gear, its a looooong way. But, there are gear-capped Nodewars and as a new thing, Sieges (the highest tier of organized pvp in the game). On the season server, you can join the season pvp server, and fight people with same gear as you etc. tldr: The p2w is a fraction of what it used to be, you get most of the "required" stuff for free now. You progress very fast (great catch-up mechanics are in the game now), and pvp you can enter in to coming straight off of season, with gearcapped nodewars and sieges!
Question, i got the capotia ring, earing and neck as a reward. Those seem to be the same stats as PEN Tuvala. Can i equip these Capotia once i gratuade? If yes, why should i upgrade my PEN Tuvala?
you can, also if you ask why you should upgrade your tuvala to pen if you can just replace them later thats because until you graduate you cant use them, wich you might need to farm the "high end" season spots for materials
I believe i mention this in the video, but i was prolly not too clear about it, my bad! If you have alternatives, like Capotia Accessories, then you you do NOT have to upgrade your tuvala acc to PEN, that is correct! *edit* Yes, you can equip those Capotia once you graduate
@@lionmentality4209 Nope! If you are succession, the marginal gains of upgrading your awakening is boarderline irrelevant (Awakening AP brackets does NOT work or apply, in ANY WAY, to succession damage). So nah, dont break your back trying to pen that one =)
Thanks for such a great guide I play succ lahn with 270ap 329dp and I don't know if I should get my vell's heart now or my pen gloves I think with pen gloves I can grind orcs My main goal now is to get more money per hour Thanks again ❤️
Your thinking is spot on! Vell is going to give you the 273 bracket, which is the smallest bracket before the 309 bracket. So while it is "something", its not that much. Getting some DP and unlocking the higher tier grind spots sounds like a great idea in your situation!
You def (imo) want to go evasion on succ lahn. I'd say the guide here would apply to you =) Evasion is actually better at endgame PvE than DR, but at tet gear you should obviously be using DR is that is better there. And as you said, Lahn is very squishy, and a melee class, so building more tanky (evasion) is very beneficial!
Hey I'm playing a mystic on console right now 267kutum aap, and I'm wondering if I should save up to switch to evasion as I'm mostly a pve player and got tet Dr armour atm thx
Hey Ali! Once you start going for PEN armors, yes, i would follow the guide for that and how to do it the best. As a mystic you are one of the classes that should imo always to Evasion at pen, as its extremely strong on your class! Also, at end-game pve (When you guys get Odylita, Ash Forest etc) evasion is also better there.
Hey, thanks for the Video! I have a question... (sry for my bad english btw) So my "Main" Character has: 243 AP/ 292 DP -Full Narch/Capotia -TET Kzarka (C3) My Season Char: -Full PEN Tuvala Im going to pick the PEN Capotia Necklace as a Season Reward and since you can get 2 Boss Gear Exchange Coupons this Season, i was wondering what i should pick and if i have to sell my Kzarka (and get another Kzarka with a Coupon) to get TET Urugons after the Season ends. (I have 2,5bil rn)
That is definitely an option! If that will give you the last silver you need to get tet urugons after season, i dont think its a bad idea. But still some time untill its relevant, so maybe you will have enough silver by then, and can choose another piece to make into a boss version!
So a new season is starting in a few days, and you can now get Tuvala again. If you are playing on the season, its ALOT easier/cheaper to get full pen tuvala, than it is tet boss gear, and with the option to upgrade pen tuvala even further, using Narchillian gear, its also alot better! So yes, i would 100% use the season to work on securing full pen tuvala. You will have PLENTY of time to get it done while the season is running, no need to stress over this :)
@@idcadangan8138 Yes. But only for the Weapon you are using. So your mainhand brackets ONLY apply to mainhand abilities, and awakening brackets ONLY apply when using awakening abilities.
I think you only got the free capotia ring and earring at lvl 60 and 61 during the 1st season. now you only get the choice between them from the quest.
There is not, no. However, they arent that important anyone because they added a new catchup gear mechanic. Check out the other gearing guide video on my channel, on how to get it, and how easy it is =)
Good Video, came here to decide what to get from the new cheap PEN Boss gear. (so for my awakening Sage: Dande, Dimtree, Leeburs, Muskan, Kutum) Without this explanation I probably would have chosen other gear :D
Well Sage is DR. As some other people pointed out, nowadays unless you're full PEN C9, going evasion, especially if there aren't any evasion modifiers on that class, it's just not worth it. Choice made a pretty good video explaining this imho th-cam.com/video/xS_oxp3y3Ic/w-d-xo.html
@@TheDani852 yeah, he makes the same points. I got my Tuvala PEN Gear and TET Urogons. Now after I get my PEN Dandi and DIm Tree it would make sense to go for evasion. I don't want to waste money on PEN Dr gear, if I'm going to swapp anyways
Zerkers are like Warriors a DR class, and very similar in the sense, that its both melee classes. With Evasion we are tankier, and as a melee class, this is quite valuable, since if we are able to deal dmg, we can take dmg too. So for zerkers i would also follow the path with Evasion at PEN.
@Gany J I mean, thats just not true. There is no difference in how evasion works depending on class. Only difference is base evasion and selfbuffs etc.
@Gany J Yes, im well aware! No need to try and find the table, warrior is in the same range of DR vs Evasion, and its the reason why they are still refered to as "DR Classes" - but that dosnt mean they should build DR, just means they need more Evasion to hit the proper numbers for evasion to be better - however, at the same time, have an easier time getting towards the 310dr softcap, while stacking said evasion. Eva is still the way to go if you want to be tanky :)
Hi thks for the vid. I play awakening maehwa and I'm currently sitting at 297/335 with nouver. I still have TET Uru and TET bhegs. I feel like awakening maehwa is kind of really squishy and it doesn't really hurt people without enough AP and accuracy. Is it really worth it to go to PEN evasion armor ?
It really depends on playstyle, but for the most part i would say yes. Having more tankiness allows you to actually trade damage, and not JUST run away, waiting for a stub arrow CC to land, and then go in for the kill. But if that is the playstyle you enjoy, then DR is totally fine. Evasion however is also way stronger for Endgame PvE, so that is worth taking into consideration too.
@@BiceptimusPrime I see but you can't really trade in our actual meta with awakening maehwa even at high AP. With 289 AP, awakening doesn't deal real damage. Maybe with a 301 kutum + an accuracy access, eva can be the build. But 301 AP is hard top get rn.. Succ can kill with any ap but succ is braindead. Since it's a rat class, maybe I need the rat build.
The beginning bit is outdated for anyone watching this now when you graduate you can turn all of you pen Tuvala into boss gear and it let's you pick which one you want so even though the boots are muskans you can still get urragans
are you planning on making an update and including the guaranteed pens etc.?
Can you get all pieces or just choose one ?
@@schtazyazan6392 You can get all 3 weapon pieces and all 4 armor pieces, however the 3rd weapon and 3rd/4th armor are not really worth to get it (i can recommend keeping kutum at TET reform 4 cuz it is same sheet ap/dp as PEN)
is it from jetina quest?

There is a 2022 guide, thats still working, except you should skip dande/kzarka and go for godr/blackstar =)
Ill make an update to that soon tho, but its still pretty much on point

PEN Red coral Earrings > TET Distortion.
Once you hit 269++ you want Accuracy on top of your AP.
290 AP Monkeys have ~60% hit rate in sycraia, ~70% Stars end, ~80% in Hystria and even worse in higher spots.
Sacrifice just a little bit of AP for 2x PEN RCE and you got 96% Sycraia, 100% Stars End/hystria and around 65% Golems.
PEN Dawn would of course be better but costs 10x as much. TET Dawn have the same stats as PEN Rce but cost 2x as much.
TL;DR 2x PEN RCE more dmg than 2x TET Black Distortion
Edit: And no amount of Crystals is gonna make up for that Accuracy loss of using 2x tet disto (or tungrad/narc/whatever).
I dont think you are using the PvE hit calculator correctly. You are wrong, very wrong, on yours numbers. Depending on your Skill Modifiers you can hit 100% in UW before even adding in buffs with full tet acc, right gems and using Distos. Add in %acc and -%eva skill addons and its not even close.
@@BiceptimusPrime Probably depends on Class too? Playing Lahn using 2x tet BS, Pen kutum, c4 armors and the expensive accurac crystals on everything i can feel a huge dmg difference between using 2x pen rce and 2x tet tungrad. Like with the 2x pen rce I do ~20% more dmg at sycraia if i had to guess. Using monster dmg/-DP addon on the first Skill(s) I use per group and after that accuracy/cit chance/crit dmg modifiers. Basically 274ap 2x Rce I deal more dmg than 2x tet tungrad 280 ap.
Edit: 2x tet disto would be 6Ap, with brackets 12 ap more and I really dont think that would make up for that ~20%.
@@ukpkmkk5759 You are just stating random numbers man, you are not doing 20% more dmg with RCE. All you gatta do is plug your actual numbers into a PvE hit calculator, factor in your different buffs and skill acc modifiers and you will know if you are hitting the cap or not. I can promise you the problem isnt with Distos :)
I just did you the favor and plugged in the numbers. You should be at 93,5% hit rate at UW with distos - WITHOUT factoring in your skill acc modiers. So as long as your abilities has 6,5% acc rate on them, you are hitting 100%.
You are doing something wrong man
@@ukpkmkk5759 Make sure you are using the 4% acc skill addon and also the -4% eva addon, and ofc Frenzied Draught. If you arent using those, then yeah, assuming you have really low skill modifers (which i THINK lahn does?) then you would prolly do more dmg with RCE - but its fairly easily fixed!
I wish I seen this guide before... just upgraded my boots from the Tuvala when I was at 270+ap and 320+DP... haha... you live you learn! Great guide!
This helps me so much. I've realized now that I've made quite a few mistakes in my gear.
their no such thing as mistakes its just a learning experience
@@ohsnation1314 aka mistakes
Helpful guide. Now all Seasonal Tuvala can be converted to TET BOSS gear.
would be nice to add some crystal progression too :)
This is a great guide! I guess it's still valid for the new Winter Season starting on Wednesday...I'm so excited...it will be my first BDO season character!!
Yep! But i have a specific guide to help you Gearing up ON Season - this guide will be useful once you are done with the Season :>
This was a nice video, very well put together. Enjoyed it, thumbs up.
Nice video but I´m a pvp player and would like to know what the minimum gear would be to stand a chance vs a full geared player or anything related to pvp like gems, if the lvl of youe character matters, etc.
No we dont stand a change sadly, in bdo gear>class>skill
Isn’t dr supposed to be better for wiz? Urugons, bheg, griffon, and dim are bis
Depends on the gear level, and also on which aspects of the game you are building for; 1v1/NW/Siege/PvE etc
Great guide.
but I‘d like to know, why pen dandelion is better than blackstar. i get the caphras part for to be more flexible when gaining ap, but in pve endgame, what is stronger?
PEN Blackstar is stronger in PvE endgame :) Other than that, PEN dande with caphras can, and will, get more AP in pve than tet bs, in endgame.
@@BiceptimusPrime thank you, especially for the quick answer 👍🏻
I have a TET Blackstar offhand and TET Kutum, should I go for PEN Kutum or just keep the Blackstar and try to PEN it with hammers :D
what about TET or PEN blackstar awakening for Succesion for the all species and monster damage instead the 12acc?
If you can afford PEN bs, then you are prolly full PEN armors and PEN accessories, and sure, its great then. But in general, no, its not worth it because of the price you pay. The 12 acc is really strong and EXTREMELY cheap.
Any Tips Build on Sage class for PvE? Im currently using (PEN V) Muskan,bheg,giath,dim tree
How do I know the equiv of Capotia Necklace ? I want to know if its better than the ring. Thank you for you guide great job !
Found It, 5 more PA than Tuvala, the equiv is Tungrad at 6B. Necklace is better than ring.
@@Kj3l yep =)
Thanks for the guide! instant subscribed for the clarity and coherency!

I appreciate that! Looking forward to getting back into making guides after this current Grind Goal is done =)
Hey I have a guardian that I’m of course running dr I’m stuck in either going TET distortions or go double pen narcs, I already have a pen bs main hand
Hey! Personally i swapped from double disto to double PEN Narc when i started pushing my armors to c20. The DP increase really helps alot once you start pushing the higher brackets.
Yesterday someone said that the 310DR cap is a lie. Why not tell people to go blackstar route?
Congratulations! Great video. I have a question: Is it worthy to put Caphras in my dande tet (I`m awakening) or it is better to get a dande Pen before put Caphars? Thank you so much.
Its very worth! If you are missing 1-2 AP for a bracket, i would suggest getting the caphras in there to unlock the Bracket :)
Thank you so much for this amazing, flawless guide! I do have one question though. Should we get an alchemy stone of destruction along the way, say 6 AP or 8 AP one?
Yeah you want the use the Spirit destruction stone for sure! They are great and cheap. Once they run out of energy, you can grind them up for dust to later feed a normal alc stone or a Vells heart.
@@BiceptimusPrime Alrighty, thank you!
Is it better to get V Rednose armour instead of V Dim Tree one with intend to convert it into the Fallen God armour (and save ~1k caphras stones) or is Dim Tree armour bonus more than enough to pay out the caphras difference price, considering the time it will take to grind and get all the upgrades before making a fallen god armour piece?
Id say it depends on the region and how fast you progress. The 200hp is very nice, but if caphras are hard to get, id go red nose for sure. 3bil is alot of silver!
@@BiceptimusPrime Thank you for the answer :)
I guess I'll stick to Dim Tree then, 'cause my region always has a lot of caphras available on AH and my progression is really slow atm.
Should I choose the neck now?
Thanks for explaining everything in detail! But how is it with Nova? Isn't DR better because of how much passive DR she already get?
Its the same with Warrior, Zerker, Guardian etc. On paper you would expect DR to be the play, since we are DR classes, but the scaling dosnt change - so if you wanna be tanky (which you do want, to some extend) on classes like ours, Evasion is the way.
should I go for the PEN capotia ring or PEN necklace now?
neck for sure
Wouldn’t suggest dim tree over red nose when you consider dead god
Yeah, I should have mentioned that in the guide, thx for picking it up. Dim Tree isnt wrong, but when pushing for Fallen God, it costs 1k less caphras with Red Nose - However on most servers Red Nose is also more expensive than Dim Tree now, because of this. So depending on Caphra price, Dim Tree actually can be the cheaper option. But good looking out!
Extremely well made guide, thank you!
Great VIdeo! Sympathy plays a big part here ^^ stay like this i enjoy your videos BPGaming
why s no one having the boss helmet in their gear guides anymore?
Why use nouver in the sheets? Isnt nouver only good with 250ap+nouver?
Im not quite sure what you mean, or where you have gotten that from?
@@BiceptimusPrime nvm me my dumb ass thought that offhand was a nouver but its a tuvala i guess :)
I'm a 275 Awake AP 309 DP Guardian and feel kind of lost on where to grind. I'm on the TET Blackstar Main Hand step. Should I buy Vell's first or just stick to grinding for TET BS? And if so, any idea on where to grind? I feel so weak in SE.
Does the TET Urugons situation also apply if you're fully Narchillian / Capotia ? It's a 5 DP up and does move me up one bracket from the 278 - 285 to 286 - 292 bracket but really nothing else.
Yes, it still applies. It has nothing to do with the DP number. Its about the stats behind it. Get urugons! You wont regret it.
@@BiceptimusPrime Thanks alot !
bro, du er en kæmpe hjælp! Tak for det du gør for os
Hopefully my grandchildren can complete gearing my main character
Now that they give you narchillan gear you don't need tuvala anymore, just go from pen naru gear and graduate to be able to use the narchillan (gear between tet and tri boss gear)
Actually between tri and duo blackstar
@@ayzendi5089 tet is equivalent to tri and tri is equivalent to duo in blackstar terms so yeah it's the same isn't it?
Is it worth getting the Combatant Tuvala gloves upgrade? it has the +7 monster DP on it ontop of being pen tuvala? thats kinda where im stuck, since i have 2 boss exchange coupons AND already have full tet wep. (im transfering all the gear to my main since im somewhat new and it would be an upgrade)
Yes, that is very worth getting! If you happen to still have your PEN Tuvala offhand, then upgrading that to Combatant too is prolly your 2 best bets :)
@@BiceptimusPrime ahh sweet. So where i stand now, my boss exchange coupons arent worth using since the combatant would be a little better. My actualy armor is all tri suppressed boss gear at the moment. my season currently has full pen tuvala armor except for boots. and i didnt do anything with the weapons since i have tet boss weapons currently on my main.
So are u suggesting go with eva warrior at the end as well?
For the most part, yes. But obviously depends on what you are wanting out of the class.
@@BiceptimusPrime Ok thanks a lot dude. Nice video overall
Great video, easy to understand. Thanks very much.
Wait how do you get cresence ring from the calorie ring I don’t understand?
*capotia
There are Seasons in BDO, where newer players can make a character, and progress alot faster to catch up somewhat. At the end of the Season, there is a reward, and you can choose 1 of the previous season rewards if you didnt do them. Thats where the PEN Capotia comes from!
I have an issue, I play Lahn succesion and she basically needd a lot of accuracy should I get Leebur o bheg?, because its "25" difference in accuracy.
Plug in the numbers in the acc guide like i showed, and see if you need! Lots of time you can get the required accuracy from elsewhere - like skill addons, crystals, etc
@@BiceptimusPrime ty
One doubt having all tuvala gear and weapon to pen will get me those stats in the picture? Or is it with adventure log stats too?
It's with level 60, and most of the Journals, yes.
@@BiceptimusPrime I see I thought I can get 240 AP just by making all pen 😅
How about the akum gear because at full pen akum cost the same as full tet boss armor (on console) and gives more armor like 20 more do. Would it be worth it? Its like 338dp at full caphras 5
is there a way to give the pen tuvala weapons to an alt without using timepiece on them (want to use timepiece on a 3rd character)?
I do not believe so, no. Unless you get the Tuvala Weapon Exchange coupons - i believe its one of the things you can get by Exchanging your season "tokens" for rewards
Hey BP I know you said that if you are playing succession, that you dont need to worry about upgrading your awakening weapon past tri dande c19. Does that apply for PVE as well? Like for example, would a TET BS awakening weapon be worse for succession even for grinding?
For PvE the tet BS would im most cases be better for PvE, but not by a lot, and especially not for the price! I just this saturday put out a video on Accuracy in PvE, and i would suggest checking it out. The 12 acc on a c19 dande can be very useful depending on your builds in PvE too.
TLDR: the bs is usually better, but its a very bad silver value on it. Most of the time you are way better off investing the price difference in other upgrades
@@BiceptimusPrime Ah ok. Thank you!
Saw you comment about going for evasion even in pve, is still worth for alle classes or just some i main a wizard awak right now and my main forcus is only pve what do you think the better option would be?
For endgame pve, evasion is better for all classes - even classes like warrior. However, it only becomes relevant at places like Turos, Oluns, Ash Forest and i believe Elvia Realm. Normally i would suggest evasion, as it also is build around using Kutum - so if you have to duel for spot etc, you are build around your PvE setup. For pure pve, and being a wizard, its not gonna be a big difference either way tho! So whatever you feel like is going to be fine honestly.
@@BiceptimusPrime Thanks for the awnser ven.
Good overall guide, but characterizing evasion as being at all tanky against your average pvper (420 acc on bdo planner) pre c9 is a trap. I would suggest staying pure dr until you can gearshift everything at the same time around c9 pen if evasion is your goal. If you don't mind getting blown up, and want to avoid the gearshift, feel free to advance as described.
Whats funny is that he is clearly focusing on pve gearing
Subscribed thank you so much. Love your videos!
so i should change my awakening pen tuvala weapon for boss gear and then a few steps later get the kzarka weapon? isnt that a bit of a waste for the boss exchance coupon? thanks for your help :)
Hi, I'm playing Witch on PS4 - EU (FR)
I'm actually 275/277AP - 330DP (BS TET / PEN Armor DR)
Looking for your video I should change to evasion build, but :
* Caphras just implemented on PS4, so it's complicate to up the armor
* We're lock on LVL C5 for the moment ...
Should I stay playing DR, or can I change my build to evasion ?
Great guide, really appreciated the straight forward explanations
Thanks!
Man, I wish I knew this guide long ago before choosing Pen Capotia Earing or Ring. Feels bad man for choosing earing. What should I do?
You can write a ticket and see if they will change it! Otherwise, it is what it is =) Just make sure you do some Season in the current one too, and pick the Necklace at the end of the current season
Does Nova go evasion too? or just stick to DR?
Id stick to DR on nova!
So its bad to take TET Dim Chest as Season Reward for Tuvala PEN Chest? Because I still wanted to stay a bit flexible.... When I choose a weapon, I cant switch Class anymore :-/
I dont see why you couldnt switch class if you choose the weapon? That dosnt really change, you have weapons for X class no matter what, because the Tuvala Weapons are still weapons for the old class.
You can reach 269kutum with full journals, vells, and a c4 tet dande. If you're awakening I would buy a tet bs over the PEN dande if your main source of income is grinding. If you're a succession class the obvious choice is a TET BS mainhand. And IMO the mAP from awakening blackstar doesn't justify dropping brackets and species damage so I would stay dande.
This is how I would gear myself at least.
Gearing really different between succession and awakening.
What if you didn't play season and have no good items? D:
At least I have Narchillan and some regular capotia gear. Btw Narchillan shoes are basically he same as Urugon so what should my first priority be? Is TET Kutum shield a better PvE upgrade than accessories?
If you didn't play season, Narchillian Gear is what you should get instead of the Tuvala, and then from there you can follow the guide =)
One note tho: The boots are NOT urugons, they are actually muskan style boots. So they should be your first item to replace with either Urugons and Blackstar boots!
TET Kutum is a great pve upgrade, but the Narchillian offhand is almost the same, so i would go for TET acc first =)
hi, i'm playing striker, so i have to choose the dodge gear? I did not understand :(
TET Gear = use DR. When getting PEN gear, get Evasion (dodge gear), for striker :) Hope this cleared it up abit.
@@BiceptimusPrime aaaaah ok, I chose the headset heve? and the rest of the armor, muskan and behg? Thank you for your reply. You are cool.
@@cedric9899 Muskan and Leeburs for the Evasion set, along with Heve, yes =)
@@BiceptimusPrime Thank you very much BPGaming, it's nice to have answered me
hello I am awakening main but have pen kzarka as well is it worth it or should i sell it and keep it tet?
Yes, keep it for sure! You gain the accuracy and some bonus stats from it. Mainhand weapon is important for awakening, but awakening is not important for succession... its weird, but it is what it is :)
When would you say it's worth going for Blackstar Gloves and Helm or would you not recommend ever looking at this?
As a step before PEN armors, i def think its worth considering now, that you can upgrade TET Blackstar armors with Elvia Realm materials.
@@BiceptimusPrime Bet I'll keep note of that. Thanks for the response.
Question, As someone returning after a few years, why do you recommend BS mainhand for awakening classes? There dont seem to be many resources on explaining on the differences between. Like, since you gain the effects of main hand if you wanted to go "Full PvE" wouldnt you go BS main and awakening?
The advantage of using a None-Blackstar weapon, is that you can put caphras into it, to hit some Brackets for bonus ap. Now, your mainhand brackets do NOT do anything when using awakening abilities, so while you can (and should) still use mainhand abilities when awakening, its not a big % of your dmg, and more importantly, you are not going to want to spend caphras on your mainhand for a very long time. So by using Blackstar mainhand, you get 100% of the bonus monster damage applied to your awakening abillities, and you arent really missing out on any of the Kzarka advantages. Now, you DO want to be able to unlock some easy brackets on your awakening weapon, and that will reduce the difference in damage real quick, just getting 1-2 brackets, compared to BS awakening. But bs awakening isnt wrong, it is slightly better for pure pve, but personally i think the versatility of being able to caphras your Prime Weapon, is better.
Does the AP brackets apply to awakening and main hand individually so for example I play awaken sage and I’m at 270 awaken and mainland is 256. does this mean that it’s irelavrnt hitting the next bracket on mainland to do more damage in awakening?
Yes, that is correct. However, if you use any of your mainhand abilities, then those attacks do use your main hand ap and its bracket.
Also, you do gain full stats from monster/human damage, accuracy etc from your mainhand on awakening attacks.
Question, is the new obsidian bs helmet and gloves better than the boss gear at PEN for pure PvE, and if not why
You can't make the PEN Blackstar Armor into Obsidian, so if you have PEN Armors, they would be better longterm, as they allow you to caphra up, past the stats of TET Obsidian Blackstar.
However, its a pretty good option/alternative to use the Obsidian Armor, as it will be alot cheaper option. But longterm, you will want to get PEN Armor.
@@BiceptimusPrime thanks for the answer
Bro , evation for warrior? Now im lost ,i play warrior help
Me please ,im on 252dp 269ap dr build
Just stick with DR, evasion on warrior is a very niche build, for very specific players - 99% of us should just stick to building DR on warrior =)
I can't tell if I should go DR or Evasion as a Nova D;
DR = More dmg, Evasion = More tankiness. Your pick!
I'm a DR Striker, 297k. I have C5 Grif, Uru & Bhegs. I only PVE. Would I still benefit going to evasion if I only PVE?
Hey Kowita =) Yeah, i would still swap to evasion, atleast endgame pve in current version of the game, evasion is significant stronger. With the reworks, i dont see evasion ever not being the right choice for strikers
I completed the Mediah questline and still don't have access to the Tuvala armor, does it no longer exist?
You made sure you made a Season Character? If so, you should be able to take your PEN Naru gear and exchange it for PRI Tuvala.
Hi! Is this progression guide still up to date?
Nope, you should check out the 2022 version, which is still more or less up to date. Planning on a fully updated version soon when we get the new region. Only big change, is to use blackstar/godeye weapons instead of kzarka/dande :>
At which point do you actually swap from DR to eva? As soon as you get PEN Leeburs with C0 or do you need the Muskan and Heve, with caphra levels too, before you realistically can switch?
isnt it better to choose the sub weapon ( Kutum ) instead?
No, that is 1 of 2 items that you should NEVER choose to use the boss exchange coupon on. You want to keep the Tuvala Offhand, and then use the Narchillan Upgrade Stone (forgot the name), to turn it into a Combatan Tuvala Offhand.
(the other piece you dont want to make into a boss piece is the boots).
@@BiceptimusPrimeHow do I turn it into a Combatan Tuvala?
To be fair, some classes shouldn't swap to eva, warrior and valkyrie are so DR and HP reliable evasion is literally worst choice
Im playing guardian and my dp is pretty high already at softcap, maybe it is better to focus tet accessories before urugons?
Nope. Its not about the DP number, its about the stats behind that number. And if you are running Muskans, alot of that number is Evasion - but at TET gear you do not have enough evasion to make it work. Get urugons, you wont regret it :)
@@BiceptimusPrime thanks for the response! The reason im asking is that I rarely die from pve on my guardian, while my archer just gets recked by everything. And while farming like maunshaums or smt I dont do alot of damage om my guardian right now.
What about sorceress? Dr or evasion?
Depends on playstyle tbh. Most decide to go DR and play a glass cannon, but evasion scaling is really good for sorcs, so they can be VERY tanky and strong with evasion at endgame.
I’m on step 10 currently I have 271Main and 272 awa my class is a ranger with tet uru, beghs gloves grifin helm and tet dim tree , what should I do next? in regards to my gear since I’m a ranger I m not sure if I should continue simply with this gear but pen version.
Yeah, basically same as the guide, but using Bhegs, Urugons and Griffon at pen (dont go eva on ranger!) and you should be fine. Sounds like you are on the right path =)
@@BiceptimusPrime Ty alot!
how long do you think it would take from tuvala pen to pen gear with tet accs
I mean depends how much you play. Check the prices on the items, and then see how many hours it would take you to earn that silver, and there you go! :> Everyone plays different amounts etc, so i cant really answer that
How would you gear progression change if you missed out on a season and started playing in between? You can still take advantage of Oasis gear, but they will shut it down soon. And also, is it worth going for a TET kzarka first instead of going straight for a PEN as suggested in the guide?
Dont think there is anything out regarding the end of the Oasis event, so you should be just fine using that. However, i would suggest you actually make a season char! You have time to get most of the armors and weapons to PEN before the season ends (all you actually need), and you only need level 20 to be able to get the PEN capotia. In regards to the Kzarka, that depends on what you have. If you are using oasis gear, then YES!! Get tet first, 100%. The reason i jump straight to PEN is because the pen tuvala, IS tet kzarka.
36 orders for tet Urugon's in SEA server atm. Only PEN in stock :D
hehe yeah, i know its really sought after, but its so good too! I hear that you can rent Nessar Boots in Valencia City, and they are Urugon boots type, between TRI and TET. So that could be a great option untill you can snag up a pair!
Amazine helpful guide, thx!!
hey i want to get into bdo but everyone keeps telling me i will never reach end game etc etc my question is how long will it take me to get to a decent g.s so i can pvp with some slight p2w ? (if you could include what are the musts to buy with real money ) cant seem to find an answer to those question in 2021 thanks in advance :). ((( one more question i remembered is it better to buy the legendary bundle off steam or just buy the game and spent the equivalent in game )))
Hey giw!
imma answer your questions in reverse =)
In regards to buying the bundle, the best value is buying the legendary one. However, sometimes there is a 50-70% sale on those bundles, so if you buy the base, you can get lucky and upgrade to the legendary at a massive discount in the future.
The p2w is a joke compared to what it was previously. You might want to spent around 100 bucks on convenience items within like the first 6months - and you dont have to worry about this for a while after starting!
You get SO many of the previously "required" items (pets, maids, inventory etc) for free now, via quests and login rewards.
With the introduction of Seasons and now Season+, its easier and quicker than ever to gear up and get to a competitive level. You can max out your gear on the Season servers (and convert it to normal gear when you are done, at any time), and a new system just introduced last wednesday makes it easier and more streamlined to progress from there. Now, someone coming off season to my gear, its a looooong way. But, there are gear-capped Nodewars and as a new thing, Sieges (the highest tier of organized pvp in the game). On the season server, you can join the season pvp server, and fight people with same gear as you etc.
tldr: The p2w is a fraction of what it used to be, you get most of the "required" stuff for free now. You progress very fast (great catch-up mechanics are in the game now), and pvp you can enter in to coming straight off of season, with gearcapped nodewars and sieges!
@@BiceptimusPrime thank you so much for the detailed answer i just started playing today and loving it :D
Question, i got the capotia ring, earing and neck as a reward. Those seem to be the same stats as PEN Tuvala. Can i equip these Capotia once i gratuade? If yes, why should i upgrade my PEN Tuvala?
pen capotia has better stats than pen tuvala, and u should upgrade ur tuvala because u can try and get pen boss gear
you can, also if you ask why you should upgrade your tuvala to pen if you can just replace them later thats because until you graduate you cant use them, wich you might need to farm the "high end" season spots for materials
I believe i mention this in the video, but i was prolly not too clear about it, my bad! If you have alternatives, like Capotia Accessories, then you you do NOT have to upgrade your tuvala acc to PEN, that is correct!
*edit* Yes, you can equip those Capotia once you graduate
Also, i'd like to ask, i have all PEN except Awakening weapon is still TET. Should i bother trying over and over if i play succesion?
@@lionmentality4209 Nope! If you are succession, the marginal gains of upgrading your awakening is boarderline irrelevant (Awakening AP brackets does NOT work or apply, in ANY WAY, to succession damage). So nah, dont break your back trying to pen that one =)
Thanks for such a great guide
I play succ lahn with 270ap 329dp and I don't know if I should get my vell's heart now or my pen gloves
I think with pen gloves I can grind orcs
My main goal now is to get more money per hour
Thanks again ❤️
Your thinking is spot on! Vell is going to give you the 273 bracket, which is the smallest bracket before the 309 bracket. So while it is "something", its not that much. Getting some DP and unlocking the higher tier grind spots sounds like a great idea in your situation!
@@BiceptimusPrime for succ lahn do you also go leeburs or stick to bhegs for accuracy?
im really thorn into going evasion or stay dr as a succ lahn wich is one of the squishiest classes in game rn does pen heve also apply for us in pve?
You def (imo) want to go evasion on succ lahn. I'd say the guide here would apply to you =)
Evasion is actually better at endgame PvE than DR, but at tet gear you should obviously be using DR is that is better there. And as you said, Lahn is very squishy, and a melee class, so building more tanky (evasion) is very beneficial!
Hey I'm playing a mystic on console right now 267kutum aap, and I'm wondering if I should save up to switch to evasion as I'm mostly a pve player and got tet Dr armour atm thx
Hey Ali! Once you start going for PEN armors, yes, i would follow the guide for that and how to do it the best. As a mystic you are one of the classes that should imo always to Evasion at pen, as its extremely strong on your class! Also, at end-game pve (When you guys get Odylita, Ash Forest etc) evasion is also better there.
@@BiceptimusPrime thx alot for the help 🙂
nice video, btw what crystals good for evasion build striker?
Hey, thanks for the Video!
I have a question... (sry for my bad english btw)
So my "Main" Character has:
243 AP/ 292 DP
-Full Narch/Capotia
-TET Kzarka (C3)
My Season Char:
-Full PEN Tuvala
Im going to pick the PEN Capotia Necklace as a Season Reward and
since you can get 2 Boss Gear Exchange Coupons this Season, i was wondering what i should pick and if i have to sell my Kzarka (and get another Kzarka with a Coupon) to get TET Urugons after the Season ends. (I have 2,5bil rn)
That is definitely an option! If that will give you the last silver you need to get tet urugons after season, i dont think its a bad idea. But still some time untill its relevant, so maybe you will have enough silver by then, and can choose another piece to make into a boss version!
@@BiceptimusPrime Alright, thank you :)
Is it compulsory to get all talvua to Pen ??
So a new season is starting in a few days, and you can now get Tuvala again. If you are playing on the season, its ALOT easier/cheaper to get full pen tuvala, than it is tet boss gear, and with the option to upgrade pen tuvala even further, using Narchillian gear, its also alot better!
So yes, i would 100% use the season to work on securing full pen tuvala. You will have PLENTY of time to get it done while the season is running, no need to stress over this :)
When i have all tunval invetory on pen can i end season ?
After this maint (11th of August) you can Early Graduate, and basically end the season when you want to!

how about hidden AP from stone or other set item? is that effect to AP bracket
It is not, no. The "Sheet" ap is the only thing that will unlock AP brackets.
@@BiceptimusPrime does bonus AP bracket effects to PvP?
@@idcadangan8138 Yes. But only for the Weapon you are using. So your mainhand brackets ONLY apply to mainhand abilities, and awakening brackets ONLY apply when using awakening abilities.

There is not, no. However, they arent that important anyone because they added a new catchup gear mechanic. Check out the other gearing guide video on my channel, on how to get it, and how easy it is =)
Good Video, came here to decide what to get from the new cheap PEN Boss gear. (so for my awakening Sage: Dande, Dimtree, Leeburs, Muskan, Kutum)
Without this explanation I probably would have chosen other gear :D
Yeah thats what i would build too for PEN Gear on awa sage =) Glad you found it useful!
Well Sage is DR. As some other people pointed out, nowadays unless you're full PEN C9, going evasion, especially if there aren't any evasion modifiers on that class, it's just not worth it. Choice made a pretty good video explaining this imho th-cam.com/video/xS_oxp3y3Ic/w-d-xo.html
@@TheDani852 yeah, he makes the same points. I got my Tuvala PEN Gear and TET Urogons. Now after I get my PEN Dandi and DIm Tree it would make sense to go for evasion.
I don't want to waste money on PEN Dr gear, if I'm going to swapp anyways
why the pen heve in endgame?
im pretty sure even for evasion Pen Griffon provides better stats
It doesn't. The Evasion difference is too big, heve is straight up a better choice, and a much cheaper one at that.
Hi! loved your video but im confused, im playing awakening witch should i aim for tet blackstar staff or pen kzarka?
For witch/wiz either is fine really. If you mainly do PvE, go BS. If you mainly focus on PvP, Kzarka.
@@BiceptimusPrime you really replied thank you dude!
@@keanba06 No worries =)
What about zerkers? i heard it stil DR for zerks. What build woukd you reccomend
Zerkers are like Warriors a DR class, and very similar in the sense, that its both melee classes. With Evasion we are tankier, and as a melee class, this is quite valuable, since if we are able to deal dmg, we can take dmg too. So for zerkers i would also follow the path with Evasion at PEN.
@Gany J I mean, thats just not true. There is no difference in how evasion works depending on class. Only difference is base evasion and selfbuffs etc.
@Gany J Yes, im well aware! No need to try and find the table, warrior is in the same range of DR vs Evasion, and its the reason why they are still refered to as "DR Classes" - but that dosnt mean they should build DR, just means they need more Evasion to hit the proper numbers for evasion to be better - however, at the same time, have an easier time getting towards the 310dr softcap, while stacking said evasion. Eva is still the way to go if you want to be tanky :)
Hi thks for the vid.
I play awakening maehwa and I'm currently sitting at 297/335 with nouver. I still have TET Uru and TET bhegs.
I feel like awakening maehwa is kind of really squishy and it doesn't really hurt people without enough AP and accuracy.
Is it really worth it to go to PEN evasion armor ?
It really depends on playstyle, but for the most part i would say yes. Having more tankiness allows you to actually trade damage, and not JUST run away, waiting for a stub arrow CC to land, and then go in for the kill. But if that is the playstyle you enjoy, then DR is totally fine. Evasion however is also way stronger for Endgame PvE, so that is worth taking into consideration too.
@@BiceptimusPrime I see but you can't really trade in our actual meta with awakening maehwa even at high AP. With 289 AP, awakening doesn't deal real damage. Maybe with a 301 kutum + an accuracy access, eva can be the build. But 301 AP is hard top get rn..
Succ can kill with any ap but succ is braindead.
Since it's a rat class, maybe I need the rat build.
