Questions before starting out Topic

Lord.Bachus

I am sure everyone has some Questions before starting, i will start with my own current questions to start the Topic, hoping for some answers.

Others could add their questions so they are needly together in a single post and people can find answers inhere.


- I claimed a character name, will i have to use that on the first character i create? (as in charactername and not fammilyname)
- How  many characters come with a basic account? (witouth the extra's from the pre-order packs)
- Its advised to create characters in all your available slots at the start of the game, even if you dont plan on playing them, but why? 
- Will cashshop prices be the same as in CBT, and is there a list of them somewhere?
- Whats more important at day one, fast leveling or getting things done in the game and building your character?
- there are a few grind guides, but how busy will those grind spots be in the first days after release? Might it be wiser to find your own mobs outside of that path everyone is walking?
- Do you love me?
- Is the upgrade from the travelers to the explorers pack worth it? Seems you get quite some things for an extra €20.
- How efficient will i be if i stick to a single main character?
- How fast will the upgrades on the Korean servers find its way to europe and NA, will we play catchup or will we trail further and further behind? have they made any statements about this?  How often do they upgrade the Korean game with new content?
- Is there a server list for release day? How many shards will each server consist of in release?
- WIll i have to load a new gameclient for release, or will we be able to upgrade the client of the latest beta?


Thats enough for starters, hoping the community has the answers for me..

- I claimed a character name, will i have to use that on the first character i create? (as in charactername and not fammilyname) - Not sure, we didn't have our reserved things available in CB2

- How  many characters come with a basic account? (witouth the extra's from the pre-order packs) - 4

- Its advised to create characters in all your available slots at the start of the game, even if you dont plan on playing them, but why? - Alts have many uses in BDO. There's several guides out there to tall you how to best utilize them.

- Will cashshop prices be the same as in CBT, and is there a list of them somewhere? - http://forum.blackdesertonline.com/index.php?/topic/12313-cbt2-patch-notes/&page=1 and https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1G0-nUT7pt7ufQvksPfssAZH4FqA5IjGtvYR1Iewm_ZM/edit#gid=0

- Whats more important at day one, fast leveling or getting things done in the game and building your character? - Your call. If you power level you'll miss a lot of things like contribution points and bag spaces.

- there are a few grind guides, but how busy will those grind spots be in the first days after release? Might it be wiser to find your own mobs outside of that path everyone is walking? - More than likely. I preferred to grind things that had drops that sold for more in stacks of 20 for more silver.

- Do you love me? - Maybe.

- Is the upgrade from the travelers to the explorers pack worth it? Seems you get quite some things for an extra €20. - There's a couple threads here on that. General consensus is yes.

- How efficient will i be if i stick to a single main character? - You'll do fine, alts just make everything easier.

- How fast will the upgrades on the Korean servers find its way to europe and NA, will we play catchup or will we trail further and further behind? have they made any statements about this?  How often do they upgrade the Korean game with new content? - http://forum.blackdesertonline.com/index.php?/topic/18464-interview-with-the-developers/

- Is there a server list for release day? How many shards will each server consist of in release? - I found a post here on that, basically 2 servers each for NA/EU

- WIll i have to load a new gameclient for release, or will we be able to upgrade the client of the latest beta? - CB2 is what will run at launch

Anyone got an update on this, might be important to know for everyone that will not start out with the reserved name?

- How  many characters come with a basic account? (witouth the extra's from the pre-order packs) - 4

So far i havent found the reason why i need to start them at release day, will it give bonusses to my main even if i dont play them for weeks?

And so i spend the extra 20

It's not so much that they give bonuses to your main as they have separate pools for energy that you will want to use if you plan on doing any kind of gathering or crafting. Also, they will be handy if you want to work on knowledge of a specific person for goods, or have something going on in a particular town and need a way to do things there without running your main all the way back(no fast travel).

There's no need to start them at launch if you don't need the extra energy. However, if you are in a guild there will be gathering quests that will make them almost necessary.
