Xbox Black Desert Online 1-55 Leveling Guide

Skill exp

So couple things you want to be aware of your going to get more combat XP whenever you’re in a group of five players going to get less skill XP whenever you’re in a group of five players. however, skill exp is based on when you get rapid kills alone and then also give added skill points does take a little longer to skill points can be grinded later on once you’re a high-level so you don’t have to worry about that in the beginning.

Tips Before You Start Grinding

How to hide chat in Black Desert on Xbox

So it is left trigger left on the d-pad then right on the joystick.

How To Turn Down Screen Shaking In Black Desert Xbox

Go to settings, then general settings. Over there you have a tab named “overall camera effect”, turn that down to altogether remove or reduce the screen shaking.

How To See Monsters On The Map

Go to your world map and hold y and go back and forth on your d-pad. Over on your right, you’re going to be able to get to this monster setting. That will show you all the icons for the monsters on the map so you can find them easier, even in the fog. Make sure to turn on this feature, it’ll make it easier to find grinding spots.

How And Where To Level In Black Desert

I recommend questing up until the end of the ancient stone chamber when you’re done talking with Edon you’re getting a little speed boost for 60 seconds that’s how you can get out of Cave quickly. Go talk to Western guard Camp hear it but after you’re done with Edon, you can enhance and that’s all you really need on your character.

If you want to go to the quest line and you like doing quests. I strongly recommend it doing when first starting out the game since you get more inventory slots and contribution points. This will be important later on.

If you need a good weapon, make sure you talk to Nelly the arms dealer in Heidel, buy the Styd weapon she offers. It costs 20k, and gives you high accuracy. So you’re level 13, now what?

Level 1-13 Quest Line until Edon

Level 13-18 Moretti Plantation

Preferably you want to be in a group of five in order to gain the most exp.

Level 18-22 Castle Ruins

When you’re fighting purple NPCs they’re going to have a minor penalty from what they would be if the red however it’s still significant XP and so if you have five people on them or purple’s go down pretty quickly. Your loot going to be a little bit limited fighting purple so if you’re more interested in that while leveling out switch some people are just want to stay an extra level than what I’m saying at all these spots.

Level 22-25 Swamp Fogans

You want to keep on moving west you’re going to hit the series of four different ponds, basically by the time you get this bottom pond you should be level 25.

Level 25-28 Bloody Monastery

Then come on down here to be bloody Monastery actually so this is a nice place to go There’s a castle, you want to fight inside the castle. You can probably have two maybe even three groups throughout the whole area is it, it’s a big place.

Level 28-31 Orc Camp

Another alternative is bandits:

Level 30-40 Refugee Camp

There are basically zombies north of Calpheon.

One good alternative is at level 34 go to North of Florin where you’ll find some owls that live up in the forest, but you’ll need higher AP in order to kill these.

Level 40-45 Chimeras

it’s just great EXP. On PC with gear I’ve gone from 39 to 44 in under 10 minutes so it’s pretty crazy. Eventually once you are leveling alts, this is going to be the fastest levels.

Level 45-50/52 Catfishman Camp

At 45 there’s a couple different options open up. 45-50 will be and you can have some fun it’s just exciting. There’s a couple island in the middle so you can swim out there if you need to unlock(don’t recommend it). Rhutums is also another option if you are looking for getting gear, but I recommend catfish instead.

Calpheon Shrine 51-55 Pre-Mediah

Level 50/52-55 Helms

Does Level Matter In BDO

The current state of the game PC you can AFK level, you can interact with a training dummy you get combat XP AFK and in 2 days of not playing at all because you can go from 59-60. This game is going to continuously make combat exp be easier and easier and keep making silver easier and easier. So if you want whatever that’s one for you but just know your hundred of hours invested could have been spent getting skill points which you will always need more of.

You want to come to start focusing on gear and getting away from combat XP. A major pitfall of some of Black Desert players is that they overemphasize combat XP it’s just not that important.

Levels make a more significant difference in PvE than PvP. But you can spend thousands of hours or hundreds of hours to be one level higher than one of the person, and it is such a minor noticeable difference. You’re going to be thinking, what on earth did I spend my time doing?

Instead do you spend your time getting skill points you if you want to do it and then solo kill get your AP get AP up to. Skill points is what’s going to allow you to unlock higher tiered skills, which directly gives you more damage to your skills. Don’t get me wrong, levels matter too especially if its a level 56 fighting a level 61 for example, but not as much as you think.

I forgot to mention that there are the Treant accessories you can get, that give 5 AP and 24 accuracy, at the start of the game these are going to make your grind a lot easier, so make sure you go ahead and pick these up.

Where to get Treant Accessories?

You get the Treant Accessories at the Arms Dealer in Calpheon. The NPC is located in Calpheon to the right of the storage master, next to the blacksmith(where you repair your gear).
