BDO - Ultimate Gearing Guide for 2023

sup guys it's shaky Bay so we're gonna be dropping an entire gear guide for 2023. now listen this game is changing all the time so what I recommend is that you guys actually sit through the full video and understand what I'm telling you guys I'm gonna be giving you guys all my knowledge on gearing how to build your stats and everything like that if this game does change and there's new items added you guys can actually still look at this guide and understand what to build in the future if that makes any sense in general though I am gonna have time stamps throughout the entire video for you to skip around but I don't recommend that it's kind of good that if you're a new player or even a veteran player I do have some stuff to offer you'll learn if you're both new and old player but yeah guys if you just want to learn this good PVP content in general this is the channel to follow ipvp all the time but in General on what we're going to be discussing this gear guide is going to be about understanding what gear you want to go for and what secondary builds you're gonna need your your class Arc types and what I mean by that is what classes are going to be specializing in Dr evasion AP human damage which classes are accuracy Stars we'll go over um what you're going to want for PVE we'll go over how to obtain some gear for new players because there's a lot of new players coming into the game so what I mean by that is I'm going to tell you about all the free handouts that are giving to the game and that would be things like Seasons journals infinite HP pod chat in a free pen accessory chatting the armors the Magnus pen armor the free garma park quest line we'll talk about how to buff correctly because buffing is going to be factored into your build the reason why it's so important because it's literally giving you stats equivalent to having extra gear items if you're not buffing you're just not being optimal so it's very important I go over after you guys understand all of that I think then it'll be a perfect to start talking about things like crystals your artifacts and lifestone combos we'll talk about the best and Slot items and why and then in that section I'll talk about the meta there we'll talk about the early game builds what you're going to be wanting to go for when you're early and new and fresh into the game then we'll talk about the soft cap build and then the intro to hard cap build and then the hard cap build and what's going to be what what I want to go over first is the fact that no build is the best build right now this is where class discords have been like misinforming the game for a very very very long time they try to tell new players that just go for this or go for that but the reality is if you actually PVP in this game and you go to arsha or if you fight other kills that have some reasonable gear what you're going to find happening is that almost everyone is going to have multiple Builds on you especially if they're like an evasion class or if they're a valkyrie or like any sort of tanky class you're gonna find people having multiple builds and for this reason you're gonna benefit to having this multiple build there's a concept of countering in this game the watered-down version of it is that evasion is gonna be is gonna eat up AP and human damage right it's gonna be the counter to that the reason why it's a counter is because in most cases not all cases the person who builds AP and human damage is sacrificing their accuracy just to build AP stats and they're also sacrificing their defensive staff a lot of the times these guys have no evasion no Dr and they're low on accuracy by that logic you're able to wear evasion more defensive stats and you can still one combo them with lower AP because they have lower defensive stats this has especially become true because of the fact that of the class reboots everyone is doing more damage currently typically this will be the counter now if someone is going to be above 720 gear score this is going to change almost everybody has accuracy but we'll talk more about this later on in the video the second concept would be accuracy is going to eat up evasion so accuracy is going to improve your hit rate against evasion targets it's pretty standard that's your counter to evade Dr HP right it's gonna counter accuracy now this is only going to be true up to a certain extent of gear what you're trying to do here is you're trying to AP check you're trying to AP check them for dropping lots of brackets sometimes let's say you're running like 1400 evasion that guy might just wear like three or four accuracy items he's dropping his AP brackets you're just gonna have the word Dr HP and see if you can survive yeah then you just can't go fully opinion fight the guy right AP slash human damage is gonna be better than Dr because you're just eating up their low defensive stats they have no evasion you just you're just trying to overwhelm the fact that they don't have a proper defensive stat ically because if someone can stack a lot of evasion evasion ends up being the tankier defensive stat versus Dr but not in all cases it actually depends on what class you are now for our next topic we are going to be discussing which classes like evasion Dr AP human damage and what classes are accuracy star this is going to help you understand what kind of build you want to build for your main build okay now I'm gonna display a chart here but there's a very very very big disclaimer okay I'm gonna explain some of the things why they are why they are okay the second thing just and get this in your head please the graphic I am about to show is not relevant to whether you're gonna build bag Libra or muskin ergons and it is not relevant to if you're gonna build green Dawn or blue Dawn gloves okay I'm just showing you which classes have which archetypes this is not relevant to the gearing meta I'm trying to help you understand your classes okay as I said this graphic is just there to help you understand what archetype your class is okay now for the colossals in yellow whether they can go evasion or Dr I'll explain their passive so you can kind of pick it on your own sorceress has an evasion active skill Ranger can go evasion because of their offhand being plus 123 of Asian Musa and meiwa can both have an evasion pack however they both benefit from getting a lot of accuracy wizard in which both have the parrying dagger offhand which gives them plus 123 evasion so they can go either or however in the current meta they like to favor going human damage Dr but I'm gonna help you solve this problem later on in the builds then John Kuno are just like Musa Mela except for the fact they also have evasion actives and they can kind of go either or they both benefit from getting a lot of damage like I said we'll solve this later on Lon has a evasion active skill so they can kind of go either or I recommend launch to more gold the hybrid which I'll explain later Archer is the big one a lot of the community will be confused about now the reason why I'm saying this and because swaps are so prevalent today is because Archer actually has access to a plus 123 version of him and with today's meta with all the new crystals the new stats the new armors in the game because you can get more evasion Archer can now actually consider running evasion as an off-build when they need it so what I'm going to be recommending for archers in the future is that they get blue Dawn gloves and muskins they run their typical human damage apdr build because it's just not going to matter whether they have aragons or muskins on but when they need to they can actually think about running evasion now so that's something pretty interesting that a lot of archers may not know or may not have considered but it is definitely a viable route but like I said you're going to be meaning your human damage AP build as an Archer has a evasion active they can go either or it's really up to them wuso can also go either or their stash just kind of blow but they do kind of pretty good with evasion it's actually not too bad now for the evasion section the only classes that should really consider going full evasion would be Striker Mystic Corsair and Sage even these days though with the current meta they're considering building some accuracy which I'll get into later now we're going to talk about the accuracy star of classes pretty much all those classes are accuracy starved except for Ranger and Berserker those two classes can actually just build whatever however for some reason when those two classes build accuracy they just kind of go off and it's kind of a mega Little Broken you know I recommend getting accuracy in these two classes okay outside of that uh this list is pretty much accurate and should help you explain what you kind of want to go for now the next question that's going to be pondering a lot of your minds well hey I'm a PVE player what do I build like I want to build PVE that's what I want to focus on and what what stash are better generally evasion is going to be the better defensive stat in PVE in most of the grind spots your secondary stat needed would be accuracy so you have enough hit rate to hit the mobs these days though however especially with the new Crystal systems that that's been input into the game and with the amount of bonus Dash were being given from journals quest lines the Black Star items right all the new fallen God items generally I would not worry about whether you are Dr or evasion especially in PVE once you max out your gear whether your Dr Innovation it literally doesn't matter so if you build for PVE in terms of defensive stat you're actually entering yourself because BDO it's an open world game and people are gonna gank you so don't make yourself the prey in this game is what I like to say you need to be ready what I've pretty much said in the last segment is what you kind of want to focus on don't worry about PVE in terms of your defensive stat now in terms of actors wherever you're grinding for your AP and with the current new Crystal items I'm going to be giving you guys you guys are also most likely going to have enough accuracy forever you're grinding the only spots where you have to worry about inputting a little bit more accuracy into your build would be Crypt Owens Quint Hill Ash Forest hack sanctuary and bloody monster and for those spots you would just input a little bit more crystals for accuracy in terms of Crypt where you need a lot of accuracy you will actually be running a certain build or you may be grinding with a certain class in that area as I said for the rest I wouldn't worry about it don't worry too much about your accuracy or evasion you also have garma.com at your disposal so you can kind of see what your rates are but in general I wouldn't worry too much about that Statin PVE you should be fine most likely you're going to have the stats needed to grind in your gear score pool what is more important is that you build for PVP so you don't get bullied in grind spots by other players most PVE grind spots are also damage capped so building strictly for PVE will pit you at a major disadvantage through the majority of this game especially because you will most likely hit the Caps anyways in most of the grind spots I wouldn't worry too much about it in terms of worrying about monster damage this is what you will worry about you'll have a crystal build specifically to have more Monster damage or more AP to hit the AP caps this is also going to be superseded by the fact that you guys at the beginning in mid game of the game are going to need black star weapons and godai weapons basically Blackstar weapons are weapons that when you hit them depend they become equivalent to a C20 zarka but with more Monster damage then give it like a kudum but your main hand right or your Awakening slot or you're even your offhand slot typically you want to go for your main hand and you're awake the offhand black star is not really worth getting it's just not worth it it's for very minimal amounts of damage worry more so about your Awakening and your main hand now the stuff you will worry about in PVE which is going to be just accepted by crystals you're just gonna have a crystal build for this and it's gonna be pretty cheap now the stat that you will worry about in PVE is Monster damage and you're gonna get this by a few items you're gonna get it through your black star weapon so your main hand and your Awakening and you're gonna get your crystals through this and that's how you you can hit the Caps now when you hit about 7 10 to 720 gear score I would start calculating whether you even need black stars or godai weapons basically what's happening is with all the new crystals in the game people are able to hit the monster damage caps without black stars so they're selling their black stars getting a bit of extra silver flow like they're C20 and their zarcos now or they're dandelions now for your early game to Mid game black stars I absolutely recommend it towards 7 20 to 7 30 gear score where you're getting towards the end game of BDO you might consider selling them just keep them to the back of your mind absolutely go for black star and God I early game don't go for zarka you want the monster damage it's gonna help you grind a lot more silver and it's necessary definitely go for those monster damage weapons in the beginning and use the crystals that's it other than that you're not going to be focusing on too much alright guys so now this is going to be the section I'm going to be talking about all of your free handouts as a new player they have added quite a bit to the game for you to catch up once upon a time it took us a whole here to get the soft cab gear now guess what now they've added this thing called season servers where they allow you to get full pen on a weaker gear set this gear set when you hit full pen is exactly equal to full tet boss that's really what it is so I would definitely start up as a new player on season server it's going to give you a massive boost into the game I'm not gonna give you a full guide on season strippers otherwise this video would be like five hours long so now I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna give you guys this website to go to video Foundry actually has an excellent resource for new players to read up on and you'll know everything about Seasons so what I would do give this a full read and then you guys are going to be set and you guys are going to know how to progress in season servers and you guys are Gucci so the first thing Step One is season servers your next step will be to do your journals and minutes request line that give you stats basically the reason why you want to do your Journal is it gives you a boatload of stats you're gonna get weight limit stamina Health points accuracy inventory slots in some cases you're gonna get DP like she DP you're going to get evasion AP damage reduction you guys need to do all of this this is your mandatory thing to do as soon as you're done getting full pen on Seasons please guys start your journals what I recommend save up all your silver as much as possible and then when you're done with Seasons go straight to doing Journal this is a must you have to do it you're going to get a lot of AP and DP so the way you guys are going to want to do this I'm going to list them on the screen for you ever a single one and then what you're going to want to do I'm not joking Google them they're too long they're just too long let's like I said unless you want this video to be five hours long listen this is the list right here Google this Google each one you're gonna have to get all of them okay and this is going to give you a lot of sheet AP and DP and stats this is very important you cannot skip this I'm telling you this is actually a big thing in this game like if I as a veteran player go on seasons is actually unfair because not only do I have journals on on top of you but I have crystals on top of you so guys please do this it's very important all right now the next thing that I want to get you guys is going to be the pen accessory quest line that you can do with jetna basically it's a daily kill Conquest that you do every day for 45 days straight and you're gonna get a free pen accessory it's gonna cost you about 8.7 Bill normally it's gonna cost you you know 50 bill just to make it or buy it it could even cost you more if you fail more but 8.7 bill for a panic wrestling ring it's a good deal so what I'm gonna go ahead and do I'm gonna go ahead and Link the guide how to start this quest line I'll put it in the description it'll be under the important link section of the description so go look in the YouTube description all the links will be there for you to get started now the next thing I'd focus on is jetness guaranteed pen boss gear so this is an optional thing okay now what I will say is this if you just want the easy simple route the brain dead route honestly just grind silver and buy your pen boss gear pretty simple nowadays okay if you want a a faster way like if you're a hardcore player and you want a faster way and a more cost effective way to upgrade your boss gear I recommend doing the jet and the guaranteed Ben Boss gear basically there's what you're going to end up what you're going to end up doing is that you're going to end up doing some Rifts some bossing in open world gonna get all those materials you're gonna funnel them in and then it's gonna get you your materials to guarantee your boss gear Depend and it ends up being a lot cheaper so that's also another thing where it's gonna make this guide five hours so I'm just gonna drop a link in the description for you guys to read up on it so you guys know what to do your next thing would be the Magnus pen armor quests and this is going to be a trending meme at this point but guess what I'm gonna tell you guys Google it listen not listen everything in this game you're gonna realize is a nightmare and you're gonna need to have like a written out guide for some of the stuff if you're brand new otherwise you'd just be watching a three hour five hour video okay basically the Magnus Quest is this thing that lets you connect all of your storages across the game and then you can access any storage from anywhere so that's what it does and as a reward for doing that questline you can also unlock fast travel through jumping in some wells and then uh they give you a free pen armor box you can choose from as well so this questline is honestly a nightmare it's the most buggy as [ __ ] you're ever gonna see I would not judge the game based off of this being buggy though I would just you know get get through that nightmare of a questline and then forget about it pretend that never happened essentially after that you've done all the free handouts you could do one more thing which is the free garmoth heart quest line a lot of people tend to avoid doing it but I would recommend you do do it I'll also throw that in the description after that those are pretty much all of your free handouts now guys I want to talk about buffing because buffing is very much factored into your build it it affects your stat sheet heavily what I will say is this okay there's a lot of people in this game that don't do this and they're lazy but I want to influence the new generation of players to do the right thing you should be buffed 24 7. if you're not buff 24 7 and someone ganks you don't sit there and complain Buffs you could have got the Buffs listen guys make a habit early on that you're above 24 7. your Buffs are worth spending money into okay think of it as an investment to be stronger to do more damage and be more efficient at grinding into better yourself than PVP okay it's very much important for your build so what I will go over first is the standard PVE build now the orange buff is you're gonna beat with the sword icon with the up arrows is going to be available you can get this by going to evila in game that's in Valencia on the map they show up as blue pillars you go to them you talk to the NPC you rent a contract that lasts a week and then you can buff up for four hours then you can pull out your tent and buff yourself now if you have a supreme book of old Moon the Pay to Win thing from the cash shop that lasts 15 days or if you have a tent you don't have to do this you can just pull out your tent talk to it and grab the buck it's a convenience thing really the next row with the little food looking thing that's going to be your food Buffs okay in general if you need exp use Simple cron meal if you need to be more efficient at doing damage use Exquisite Crown meal okay if you need to meet Monster damage caps use Simple Crown meal because it's going to give you more um it's going to give you more mosh damage to hit those caps the next thing is the MP giveaway thing every hit you do will give you MP back typically you paired up with the frenzy draft the purple draft to maximize your credit or alternatively if you don't need it you can just get a a critical hit Elixir however I would use this because you can get an extra five monster damage with the embracing version of it the next row would be your draft there's three drafts you're going to be using the frenzy draft the Giant draft and the blue one at the bottom which gives human name basically you use frenzy draft if you if you need to sustain HP your play so if a spot is doing too much damage to you and you have to sustain use friends you draft because it's going to give you plus three HP per hit I recommend using it next thing would be your Giant draft Giant draft and just a full-on stat boost if you don't need to maintain Giant draft as best Western slot in a spot then is a human damage area like it's a human type mob use the blue Elixir always the next three icons are your church Buffs go to any church in any major city and then you can get a church buff which is AP Dr and exp pretty simple the next thing would be your furniture buff I recommend using the plus 15 AP for three hours on every grind spot these drop from Road bosses or you can buy them off the off the auction house pretty simple there's one last buff I need to talk about that isn't mentioned it is a Caroline buff basically go to Heidel look for Caroline talk to her do a mini Amity game and then you can get a critical hit damage buff for 30 minutes so every time you leave town just grab Caroline and then you just don't have it for two hours it's not worth kind of running back and forth for but um whenever you leave town just grab Caroline just so you have it's a nice little boost I know I always grab it for no worse too but that's your basic buffing right there alright guys now we're going to be talking about crystals I would pay a lot of attention here I'm gonna try to break it down for you crystals can become a very complicated subject to look at especially for a new player not for US veterans there was a time where the crystals were actually binded to the armor slots they have now removed that limitation so if you're like a newer player coming into this the crystals can seem super confusing I can imagine but for us new players we've been dealing with crystals and US kind of thinking in that way of looking at it like oh this is like the awaken garment slot or this is that slot for us we can kind of break it down for you guys so let's just try to follow along and I'll try to make it simple for you guys the first thing I will do is give you guys a standard Crystal build for the early game now with this picture I'm going to be showing you guys whatever I have highlighted in green are extra Crystal slots you will not have access to them right now but this is going to be your early game Crystal build a mid-level crystal build that you guys are going to want for PVE here is the crystal build so everything circled in green don't worry about it those four slots I have highlighted you unlock them by doing your garmoth heart if you get the garments art and drop it you put it in your Awakening weapon and then you unlock two slots if you complete your land of Morning Light questline you then unlock another two slots giving you four extra Crystal slaws that are obtainable the crystal in the center is going to be your costume slot Crystal which is like a really minimal stat like plus the crud hit or plus three move speed you don't have to worry too much about it okay this is going to give you a lot of AP to monsters and it should help you in the early game for grinding all right now this is going to be your end game crystals and I'm gonna explain this really quick okay so whatever I have highlighted in green is again those extra Crystal slots I was talking about whatever I have highlighted in blue are crystals that you can swap out for other crystals that you might use an end game grind spots for certain reasons I'm going to give you a list of those crystals right now I just thought I would go ahead and explain that for you guys really quick so these new crystals are actually really op the one on the bottom left the garen's tier this Crystal is going to be staple for all PVE builds I mean it gives you drop rate why the hell wouldn't you use that you know what I'm saying the rest I have it min max to how much you know how much monster damage an AP are going to be getting so whatever I have highlighted in blue are crystals that you can replace for other meta crystals that might be better in certain grind spots but by the time you hit end game you guys are gonna have a full understanding in the game hey do I need back attack damage here do I want more damage do I want Don attack do I want crit you're gonna understand all this by the time you hit this level anyways so you guys are going to understand that no matter what now I'm gonna show you what crystals you can replace the highlighted blue ones for that you might consider our number for crystals you might swap out in years depending on your grind spot right so for the top left where you see the responding kited Crystal and the Kydex Crystal for the adventure you can actually swap as many of those as you want for extra exp so if your goal is to just get exp you can pop an infinite amount of those in your build if you want now for the rest of the swappable slots you can consider using the ultimate combined magic Crystal of Mac a lot for the set bonus you can get a bit of extra AP some comedy XP some stamina and some accuracy it could be useful in certain areas now on the bottom left where you see the bong Wongs here you could either swap your current legendary for that or you can use this it's really up to you in the Middle where we see the end snare or the magic Crystal of infinity and snare you can use that if you need to pop accuracy might be useful at crypt the girvish set you can use that if you're grinding a low end area and you already one shot the mob the extra weight limit can kind of come in clutch to be honest now the top one where you see the crystal of mysterious Darkness this is going to replace your current corrupted and this is going to help you do more back attack damage because you can get 24 with that plus you can get a little bit extra with the other crystals we have in the main build outside of that if you are hitting the AP gun you can take off a power Crystal and you can input another all you kiss to get you know more uh more attack speed and of course if you are like you don't need those other stats that are in there you can just put in more power to supersede the cut the bottom right where you see all the RBF crystals you can pop that in human damage area such as bloody Monastery or abandoned Monastery any spot that has human damage you can pop those in and get even more damage it's actually really op in those spots but those are just about all the swaps I could think of that you might need in PVE all right now we're gonna get into the PVP crystals so just like the last section the green circle are going to be things that are extra sloths you have to unlock later on so you don't have to worry about those slots until you can actually get something tangible if you guys know what I'm saying right the red slots red slots are crystals that must absolutely stay they must absolutely stay no matter what they're just Staples you have to have them in the build they just can't be swapped out every every class the rest of the build you're gonna notice that there's no corrupteds in this or no quote unquote offhand across the reason for that is because the new crystals are just broken stat for stat and you might as well abuse your main build even if you are Dr or evasion what's happening is is that everyone is popping these crystals I'll explain basically the blue crystals on the on the top right and the bottom right are giving you Dr and evasion in one Crystal so it's becoming a best in slot Crystal for everyone the new homes are just busted stat for stat they give you accuracy HP and evasion so you might as well use them so if everyone's going to be popping those your next best stat guesses is to just go with gin vipers because everyone needs gen Vipers for the accuracy and then your last option would be quote unquote to helmet crystals so this is where you're gonna have to do a little bit of give or take either you're gonna pop two corrupted here or you're gonna use two gen two gen uh Harpy as if you're like me right if you're like someone like me who's gonna be abusing evasion there's tankiness stuff you're gonna pop two gen heart Piers for evasion you are someone like human damage Dr you're trying to focus on slaying people pull down you're gonna pop corruptive somewhere in this build whatever is not highlighted are crystals you can change around inner chain and I'm gonna show you guys instances of other builds that work really well they're not gonna be builds that um focus too much on uh like other meta crystals there's definitely Crystal builds in the game so I'm gonna go ahead and just show you them all right guys so for example on the topic of Crystal builds right so this I have some presets here now if you look right here where my mouse cursor is versus 1150 evade and 1143 let's say I'm fighting a dude and like you know I just want to be a little bit tankier I'll pop this Crystal build on see my evasion went up by like 37 right that's just by adding in the swappable slots I was talking to you guys earlier let's say I'm biting someone who I'm having a super hard time hitting well I have an accuracy one look at this I swapped all the swappables for accuracy now my accuracy is at a thousand nine with the kudum like this is the importance of personal builds here like now I'm at 1092 and look I can make this even worse with the life Stones we'll talk about later right I can make it even worse I can go two grounds right then I can go two more just this will make it even worse for him right so that guy popping hella evasion on me and we're gonna pop melee accuracy melee accuracy look at my accuracy now 1146 accuracy so this is the importance of like understanding your swaps on your Crystal belts not just one Crystal belt is going to help on the topic as for some certain class specifics right so what you guys can end up doing is let's say you're a ninja and like you need to have grapple resistance or grapple penetration you can just run uh two of these two grapple ignores I know a lot of ninjas that run grapple ignore now if you're mean you want to be an [ __ ] see I'm a Musa main right I don't like getting grabbed so I'll actually use um these bad boys right here it's the sturdiness the grapple resists right I'll actually do stuff like this to people on 1v1s I don't care this is what I mean I'm trying to open your guys's mind to understanding how you can adjust these Crystal builds to adapt your situations plus there's presets in game you can set all this you could even run resistance like if you want to run resistance you can run two atom endings right boom now your resist is like I was like through the roof you can change so much stuff so what I'm what I'm telling you guys here here is that there's not a best Crystal build you're gonna have your main build for like open world PVP and then you're going to want to start adjusting a lot of this stuff on come to gardenmouth.com look at the crystals and start playing around with it you can follow my rubric I gave you guys earlier but it's like what's swappable what's not but you can definitely get the job done I mean like I said like for me all the bills I need as I have my PVE ones I have my human damage set if I need it like if I want to blow someone up I have this right here all macalads this right I want to do like big boy damage I'll pop on maneuver you know what I'm saying and then if I want to go even more into it I'll do two mainly accuracy I'll do an iridescent and then I'll just do like a bunch of these right here which I'll talk about in a second in the next segment all the light stones but this bill will just give me like I want to Nuke you kind of Vibes you know what I'm saying this is the build where I'm entering into you just to blow up to blow myself up and do a bunch of damage too like you can see all the AP here that's like extra it's insane and this is what the crystal build offers so me showing you this is the reason why I'm not explaining the builds directly because I would be doing you an injustice every class is different and at this point I have explained to you guys what classes what demographic what archetype it is so it's up to you guys to make the builds and make your class work and make it shine if I were to tell you what to do I'm doing an injustice you're not going to understand the game so I'm just showing you this so you guys understand what can be done and what you can do so if you use the countering concept you can make a bunch of builds like a bunch and they're all going to be viable alright guys now for the life stones and artifact section I have all of them listed out for you guys and when you guys are building your artifact set and using your life Zone combinations make sure it actually you know complements your Crystal build for example if you're running like accuracy artifacts you might want to run that with average crystals to like supersede the effect think of think of artifacts like an extension of your Crystal build it's just some extra stats you can put up as far as the artifacts you need the actual gear slot you want your accuracy type so whether you're melee magic or range you want a few sets of those you want a few sets of all evasion um melee and magic and range evasion you're going to want that too for your one of you ones the same thing goes for damage reduction if you need it if you're a Dr class get a few sets of those then I would get um a set of monster damage artifacts for PVE and I would also look at getting and I would also look at getting um all AP for like human damage errors if you're if you're gonna need that that is all right guys now as for your lightstone combinations these are pretty much all the combinations you're ever going to use these are all the metal ones I will talk about one um the one that's called Mind focus on the right side um this one right here right this one it gives 900 MP you're probably like what am I using this for using it against suck Mayors because you like to Mana zap you and they like to use that broken mechanic but as soon as you wear this mind Focus thing nine times out of ten they don't know how to play the class so they're probably like what's going on why is he not getting mana zaft and then they realize that you probably have the artifact on and they'll probably be like uh uh and then they just die so have fun with that artifact guys other than that this artifact set should um you know it's pretty self-explanatory make sure you combine these with the proper Crystal set and you guys are going to get good results right guys so like I said when you guys come into the game uh you're gonna be doing your seasonal so focus on getting your full seasonal done and this is what you're going to want to go for here every class on the game in seasonal will go for this every single one get your journals done get this all out of the way let's just get some of your artifacts early game blur is actually pretty good or you can use all accuracy or even all blights like one like three blight and one iridescent pretty strong and then just you know Crystal build can be pretty standard you can run just like the budget PVE build which is this one that I showed you guys earlier or you can use your PVP build without the Garment slots that's what you're gonna have pretty much all right once you guys get into you once you guys get done with your seasonal and you've hit all that gear you now have to decide whether you're gonna go blue gloves or muskins green gloves or aragons or you're gonna go green gloves and muskins these are all the viable bills at the top of the screen I have listed for you the difference between Green Dot and Aragon versus blue Dawn and muskins with green done and ergon you're going to get 13 evasion 22 Dr negative 25 accuracy compared to the blue Dawns and you're gonna get an extra 4 DP with the blue Dawn and muskin set up we're going to get 13 evasion 22 Dr and 25 accuracy with the green Dawn and muskin set up you're gonna get 25 of us accuracy but you're going to get way more evasion and you're gonna get you know two plus two more DP okay as you guys can see in the list I have literally said every class should go Blue Dawn and muskins right now that goes for the human damage Dr classes too the reason for that is because with all the new crystals in the game almost everyone now can get 1100 of Asians by just wearing a kudum in the game it's broken evasion is insane right now everyone is doing it at this point and at this point if if you're running like if you're running back aragons you're just you're kind of throwing you're just you're throwing I'll make fun of you even just don't do it just don't do it consider these builds right now okay now under the green gloves and ergons right the classes that can consider this this is evasion gloves and Dr Boots that now the first class to be Berserker now Berserkers can consider this build however I strongly believe they are better off with the blue gloves because like I said when that class gets accuracy it's kind of disgusting Valkyrie Guardian suck Nova draconia should absolutely consider this build this build is going to make them extremely tanky and those classes already have a good amount of accuracy anyways Warrior is the class that can consider this but just like Berserker and because of the fact that Warriors accuracy starved I recommend they go with the blue gloss and musket on the right side this is going to use some new tech for some of you probably don't know about this now the helmet slot this is a something you guys can can consider if you consider a c19 xerith helmet versus a Duo labresca helmet right the difference is is you're going to get less HP less Dr but you actually get 26 more evasion and you get 10 more KD bound resistance which is the better resistance compared to what Nebraska can give you and that's that duo which is pretty interesting right the helmet thing is really up to you I just put that there that's really up to you guys to decide if you're someone who's going to be abusing the living hell out of evasion you should probably run that panzerath helmet so our shy mean should probably be using that unless they just have like a a Tech Fall Like a tetler Basketball Helmet or something like that you know what I'm saying but early on depends area time it's actually really good and a lot of people don't know about that helmet being a thing sakuna can can consider going full evasion because they already have a lot of accuracy they don't really need the blue gloves you know what I'm saying Mystic and Striker can love abusing evasion you might as well use it I do know a few Mystic and Strikers that are considering going with the blue gloves and buskins now which is why I literally put every class in the game can run it again it's up to you guys shy Sage Corsair and megu can all abuse the evasion builds as well in general though um getting a lot of evasion isn't hard anymore so I I just personally I strongly believe that everyone should go blue gloves and muskins unless you're one of those Shield classes that can eat well with the Eragon and green glove setup I really think everyone should go blue gloves and muskins right now but um if you're an evasion class and you like the idea of I want to be tanky as as hell then I think the green gloves and muskins is for you when you guys hit this gear level this is when you want to get into swaps and I'm gonna explain the swaps to everyone right now but before then I want to show you guys what this gear looks like across all classes same Buffs same crystals with the same archetype right this is Archer right that restaurant maneuver now when you need to be tankier look you almost have 1100 of Asian you're not even C20 this is broken this was never before seen in the game now an Archer can do this with the security imagine if you are like a year plus 123 evasion off and then you wore your Centaur belt now it's actually somewhat kind of valuable you can actually use this to counter gear let's right and then it's like oh but what else don't wears evasion well get the accuracy offhand now you're 1057 accuracy at this gear level which is not the best but at this gear level is better than nothing and having these swaps is gonna save you a lot right now to compare the difference right now we can go on to Musa who is a bit more suited for Aviation it's not that much more evasion as you can see right I mean they have an evasion passive to make it a little bit more modified but really he's fat for stat it's not that much crazy right it's not that much of like a crazy difference now look Musa was that classic in the human damage or Dr well in turn I can just run the new verse setup right here and just get more AP into the same [ __ ] as an Archer this is what I'm saying multiple builds is gonna beat everything okay now let's go back over to Warrior who is a Dr class look same build but look almost 1100 evasion with 484 DR warrior is a class that can give itself 40 Dr around there it got nerfed since then it used to be able to give myself around like 60 to 70 if I remember correctly but they nerfed him so now he's down to like 40ish right this is what I'm saying about knowing your class right and knowing your archetypes is going to really help you look the fact that a warrior can get almost the same evasion as a Musa but get 500 plus Dr when they buff that's scary because the moose's Dr is 450. I mean we're hitting in some tanky times right now right okay but what about the Libra Eragon setup look the difference here is that you're getting a little bit less evasion but look 503 Dr unbuffed at C13 level isn't that crazy and now you want to compare this to a striker right here's striker like like the true evasion meme this is why I was saying for like the evasion mean classes they want to go with this build black if you look Dawn is completely viable here accuracy is definitely going to be the problem right now in today's meta so that's why I consider that for everybody so on the topic of swaps right so that mid Game Gear set is when you want to start getting the swaps right so this is what I consider to be my personal mean build on Musa on the topic of swaps okay let's say I want to be an all-in just do more damage and blow people up then I would do this I would swap my crystals my artifacts and my offhand which are all very cheap things to do now let's say I'm fighting someone who has a lot of evasion and I can't combo them with my AP set then I'm going to wear my accuracy offhand change my crystals change my artifacts and now my accuracy is 11 34. let's say I'm fighting a guy who has no accuracy then I'm gonna be the evasion abuser I'll first start by putting on a Sizzle neck which could be a tet or pen doesn't have to be pen you can get it a tap I'll just wear my evasion crystals and pop that on and see how it goes if you're still doing a little bit of damage we'll do more we'll wear the offhand next 1224 evasion not enough okay well we'll do even more we'll run the Centaur belt now we're almost at 1300 evasion a striker could do this way better than a Musa ever could but I'm just showing you the example and if I want to be even worse I'd just wear a Sizzle necklace would that be 1310 evasion and just call it a day and if he's still killing me well that's just what happens when you fight geared people this is you just can't get too tanky like like tanky enough that is you know what I'm saying so that's the importance of swaps all the swaps are super cheap what you're looking at is getting a Dr off hand your maneuver your evasion off and your accuracy offhand you want to get a centaur belt swap you want to get a Sissel necklace swap for the Dr classes you want to get categy rings Runners narc earrings all at the Tet level and get it at around the mid gain gear level and then you can start mix and matching gear sets when you fight people and then you can start countering people as it actually comes in early in handy especially when you end game and then you have the end game stats on top of it it can become pretty overwhelming now I'm showing this for my Musa point of view but basically your rings everyone needs to be building ominous Rings the reason why is because like I said there's too much evasion in the game and you need to run this over the tongue graded ring it's just it's just the best AP to accuracy ratio path now the question you're going to be asking me hey shaky Bay why didn't you recommend lunar Tura now lunar turo is actually pretty viable on a few classes that are accuracy star that can really really benefit from it but on certain glasses that already have a decent amount of accuracy it's actually not so much of a good idea and let me show you one let's say I'm gonna swap I'm gonna use a swap offhand right let's say I want to abuse accuracy off and let's see I'm on Arch right so we'll go with the background Warrior bow I have the accuracy often of 1052 on my apron is 297. the problem is is let's say I look at my APM machine at 297 right if I pop a ton grad ring or let's say I go yeah actually yeah let's say I'm double tongue rathering right mm-hmm let me show you what happens so if I'm let's say double pen tongue ring unless I get a turbo belt 298 right right now you're probably like well what's the problem right what's the issue here now let's say I do this I go with uh lunar now you're still probably saying well what's the problem it's just one bracket here's the problem right my accuracy is what 1070 okay so if I pop on ominous double penominus right and I have that swap but now let's say I get Deborah's now look at my EP it's much higher and my accuracy is 10.52 in this context you can kind of see why I'm saying that the lunar churro isn't as good as people might think Dom is pretty okay because you can still hit brackets so like let's say you're running kudum Dawn earrings sort of does the same thing compared to Distortion or compared to the the devaraka however it's it's not that bad like let's say I do this like this this is not that bad like this you can kind of work with right but obviously you're going to want to just go like this for the most part 307 305 you're missing you're getting two AP racket difference here I would say this is more of like a class specific thing it depends on your class but when you're hitting this you're going to be considering in your swaps because a lot of the time when you're this scared you're probably not gonna be running a Cuda maneuver your aim is going to be the out gear people and really like force that so um that's really the deal you're you're pre-intro to hard cap pretty much guys is you're gonna you're gonna be rocking this pretty much you're hitting like right about here and then you're hit you're sitting on one pandisto and then you got one Tet and then from here what you're going to do is you can start getting the Deborah grind out of the way or you can do something a little bit smarter um a lot of tests these days they sit on the market like tet labresca Fallen God and Dawn you could enhance the Tet yourself or you could make the difference and sell your try and buy the tap people are actually at the higher end gear levels that are making tests and selling them believe it or not so what you could do from this point on in here and you're like getting into hard cap you buy the Tet get some extra defensive stats and then go for the Deborah and then really your final thing is to start looking at these belt swaps right here they give you that like that give you the active skill um you guys you guys are going to want to work on that too but that's pretty much where you're all headed plus all the swaps added in and obviously like I said whether you're going to build lunar churros or Dawn earrings look at your class and see if you really need it or if it's really even worth it but that's all I can offer for today's guide guys if you enjoyed the guide guess what the next gun I'm dropping is going to be a general PVP guide for 2023 that's going to be pretty important and after that we're just uploading all the content so and if y'all know me I'm one of
