Question on gearing up

Forgrimm

So I decided to give BDO another shot, picked it up for $5 and have been having a lot of fun with it. I'm slowly learning the systems but am mostly stumped by gear. I've looked at a lot of guides and suggestions but much of the info seems to be outdated, and other info seems to contradict other sources. I ended up going with a suggestion that Lazy Peon made in a video which said to start off with Agerian gear, enhance it to +5 and use it to 50, so I did that. He said to then go for Grunil gear at 50+ or 55+. But in this video for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9J3WX_64ZA the guy says not to bother with Grunil and to use Heve instead. Coincidentally I got some Heve drops while killing skeletons so I enchanted those to +5 for now.

I'm currently level 52. I have little to no interest in pvp, no interest in meta-gaming, no-lifing, or best-in-slotting anything. Most of my current gear can be seen here https://bdoplanner.com/save/[[5],[11005,5,[-1,-1]],[10810,5,[-1,-1]],[-1,0,[-1,-1]],[11007,5,[-1,-1]],[[12035,0],[12035,0]],[[11829,0],[11817,0]],[12231,0],[11646,0],[-1,0,[-1,-1]],[-1,0],[-1,0,[-1,-1]],[-1],[-1,[-1]],[-1],[-1],[-1],[-1]] The 3 pieces that weren't available on the planner are this http://bddatabase.net/us/item/11529/ this http://bddatabase.net/us/item/10072/ and this http://bddatabase.net/us/item/10142/ You can see my stats in the screenshot below. So, any suggestions on what I should be aiming for?

Egads! That system looks like cancer lmao. Geeze louise. That paper doll got like 25 items! I seriously didn't mean to troll in replying but that system seems rough. That's a LOT of stats. (Left and right boxes.)

To be fair, I'm one of those minimalist guys (for UI, I suppose that sort of goes into gameplay too as I'm a min/maxer as well.)

Get yuria + axions shield + full eve set and enhance it to +15, buy some advice of valk 30 from repair npc and save the fs if you get 25, for some better set later on, i would farm asula set  https://www.gameskinny.com/8vkp1/how-to-get-the-asula-set-in-black-desert-online , when ur ready join sausan groups up to 56 and get awakening weapon and enhance it.

Well I've made some improvements. I'm halfway through level 57. I bought a duo main hand and awakening weapon and am using a decent quest shield. I farmed the full Asula set, bought 3 pieces of +15 Heve and got the roaring magical armor from the quests. I got a full outfit set from the MP for 37 million silver and tonight I got my first pet from the MP for 8 million silver. It's nice to be able to pick up pearl items without spending $.

Just got that Roaring Magical Armor and Duo Ultimate Talis Boots, Duo Ultimate Talis Helm and Duo Ultimate Talis gloves. Also got the  full Asula set and a Tri Awakened weapon. Attack Speed and Move Speed are both level 5 with Critical at level 4!

Nice, I need to get 3 pieces of duo armor as well. Was thinking about getting a Tri awakening weapon to replace my duo but I want to get to 58 first and decide if I'm going to stick with the warrior or not. At least the armor can be swapped to other characters.

Well what class are you looking to play?

Also need a guild / clan I know many depending what your focus is Node WAR PVP, or PVE?

And that gear is garbage, if we get you in a guild you can get geared in no time real gear and stuff.

That's the old setup. More recent one is posted further down in the thread.
