Black Desert How to Calculate Gear Score in BDO

I will show you guys how to calculate your Gear Score (GS) in today’s guide.

How To Find Battle Stats

Firstly before we can calculate gear score, we’ll need to find your character’s stats. Press Start and click on the Character tab to view your character’s stats, or simply press P.

Once you pull up your stats, you want to go down and search for battle stats. Click on it to view the details. After that, you want to look for the defensive power and your attacking power or awakening attack power in your battle stats.

So I am an Awakening Guardian, so my attack power will be based on my Awakening AP, which is my Awakening weapon. It would be the regular Attack (AP) if you are not awakening.

How To Calculate Gear Score

So to calculate your Gear Score, you would want to take your AP for the weapon you currently use + Defense (DP). For instance, I use my awakening weapon(the jordun), so I would want to take Awakening AP 289 + Defense (DP) of 333.

My DP is currently 333; my awakening AP is 289; if I take 289 and add it to 333, that would give me 622.

So this means that my total gear score is 622. Again, you will want to take your AP plus your DP and add those two together, and you will be able to get your actual gear score. That’s the formula there.

If you play Succession, you would take the Attack (AP) + Defense (DP) instead; then in my case it would be 286 + 333, which is 619.
