Im in love with Altinova, You can even store your worries here!

Don't be silly, we all know that everyone lives in heidal because they are too lazy to move their stuff anywhere else.

Great video, just one tip if you want to use Velia: you can expand your storage using houses in the nearby farms :) Hope it will help someone

that chuckle towards altinova makes me want to move to a different location now.

Lived in Altinova ever since Mediah came out. Great place.

I live in Velia. I feel like it's the most versatile location in the entire game. Plus I own the 5 Contribution Point house as a residence with it fully decorated, moving elsewhere would be hugely time consuming.

I didnt know Jesus Christ have a youtube channel

I'm new to the game and I've been tearing up your channel. I'm so grateful. You've been such a huge help. I have a season character level 58 Striker and I just finished both Valencia questlines. I've invested storage space in Heidel but now I'm currently trying to plan out my residences since we're only allowed to own 5 of them. I'd like to share what I have planned out. I'd appreciate some insight and feedback from anyone. Valencia - Other than the practical reasons you mentioned in this video, I also just love the design, appearance, and culture of this place. It reminds me of Sunspear and the Martells. Heidel - If I'm using this as a central storage point, I figure I should own a residence here as well. Tarif - It's not very practical but I really just want to own something in Mediah which I'm quite fond of from the appearance and story. Tarif is such a small charming and quaint village which I find so appealing. I want something here for superficial reasons. Duvencrune - I've never been here yet but I love the biome (trees and mountains). I'll definitely have a good look in and around this place. ISLAND - I'd love to own a house on some island just coz.

thank you for this video, was waiting for this. really appreciate you listening to your viewers :D

Greetings from Duvencrune! Interesting points you got about why to settle at Duvencrune. Tho I personally pick it as my home city when Dreighan was released, just because I love mountains and architecture of that city. Usefulness goes second after the beauty of the place for me (Tho Odraxxia is tempting me very much). But I appreciate your video because I had no idea of Horse part :D

These videos are brilliant! The Duvencrune guide you linked to is going to be incredibly useful to me. Thank you!

Cities that I've built in:. (I'll add a couple that I like, but haven't built in and some I hate.) Duvencrune:. One of my main bases. As you stated, Horse taming and I honestly like the aesthetic and feel of it. Plus I'm a fan of mountains and dragons. Also, lending to Duvencrune is that it does have some nice houses in it as well (some of them is on par with the larger Heidel houses.)...some of the best designed houses and it really has a nice soundtrack that fits it. Plus, to me....in a world filled with monsters, battles and massive bandit camps, it's location and design just makes sense....A walled mountain area, far away from most things and difficult to get there on foot. It would be a pain to lead an army up to Duvencrune to try to assail it. In short, it makes the most sense to me, design-wise of all the cities. Grana:. My other main city. I really love the aesthetics here also, and the way it also gently merges with nature. It has the biggest house in the game, so although Duvencrune is my main city with an extremely good house, the best house is located at Grana...and I consider it my vacation manor as a result. Heidel:. Central location. One of the biggest houses. Did I mention it's central? At various points, you WILL cross Heidel. So it makes sense to have a residence here. House wise, Heidel 9-4 is the first large house you have access to, and it will remain one of the largest houses in the game. Oh. Did I mention it's central? Enough said. Calpheon....I may have misspelled this:. I come near this city often enough to purchase a nice house in it. Most of its houses are on the small size though. The city itself is large, fortified and it does one of the best jobs of feeling like an actual city. Some things aesthetically don't make sense, regarding it's surroundings, but it's definitely a very useful city to have a hub at. Veila:. Tutorial house for a quest, but not a bad location. Fairly central and by a port. Also, quite a few quests and events do happen by or near Veila, allowing it to remain an important location, despite being a beginner area. ________________________________ Extra shoutouts:. Epheria port. A nice port town, has a nice feel to it. You have to go through a literal battle a few yards from Calpheon to get to it, but it is a nice little location and anyone involved primarily with sea-life should acquaint themselves with this location. (I can't speak on the houses here....just the aesthetics.) Island ports.... You're far away from civilization and far away from most monsters (as far as how realistic the world is...not everyone is a strong adventurer like us afterall. Small little towns and I can see people may choose to live here. ----------_____________________----------- The ones I don't like.... Alttinova,... A maze. Most of its houses are small. For a higher end area, it's got wooden Palisades. It does a good job of feeling like a city though and it does have a nice aethetic. Alttinova is the gate town before.... Valencia....let me say first that the city is beautiful. It's well defended....because who's sending an army through the desert of Valencia. And many aspects near it are unique to it. It also is a city that doesn't make sense .... And honestly it would starve out. It's a large scale city in the middle of the desert, surrounded by lions and elephants. Their crops would be trampled and their trade routes attacked. Also, it's Valencia, so it's the biggest pain to get to and the Valencia 2 questline was the worst experience I had in this game...to the point that I refuse to ride through it, even now. When I came through, it was during the oasis....now that the desert is back in full bloom, I want nothing to do with it. I haven't been back to Valencia since I returned to the game. I will only go to Valencia by airship or boat. There is a side path I know to get to Valencia, and even that is annoying. I just don't like Valencia.

Great video, couple of points though: Altinova is great if you're into gathering rocks over at pilgrim's, i usually drop off my junk there before/after rock gathering and move on to Calpheon which is the main city i use for alchemy because it has access to so much storage and lodging. Altinova also has the advantage of having access to plenty of good nodes, having cheap housing options and being the place where i make silver embroidered clothes. You also mention that the new region is the only place where you can make master matchlocks which is wrong, you can set up a workshop in duvencrune as well which is what i use. I'm pretty much all over the place though, I use Velia as my main storage city, i have the storage there completely maxed out and all the enchanting/cooking stuff goes in there. I use olvia as my hunting/imperial box city. And i have duvencrune to craft advanced stations and of course for storing horses. Calpheon is where my main residence is, it's got a nice view and it's only 1 CP, I'm very stingy with my CP usage ;c

Heidel and O'draxxia forever for my home bases. Love both of the cities and they are great for my life skill & grinding needs. Plus the homes I have are the double floor ones and they look amazing with furniture and incredible views out of the windows.

Basically each city has its uses and you will use them all in most cases not just one, even though your mind set will be geared towards picking ONE when you first start out, work to get out of that mind set. Calph has amazing storage. Velia and port ephiria are bartering, and velia is enhancing still I think. Heidel is central. Kama iis near the best afk fishing spot in the game and some important mobs for grinding. Altanova isn't used for anything specifically except like manufacturing grunil a long time ago, because sand grain is much preferred for desert grinding and valencia is where stuff goes if you use maids in the desert or if you are trading. My biggest tip would be if you don't want to be locked down to one city, keep 20-50 contribution points free. It comes in handy a lot actually because you can purchase a house, use it once, and then sell it again instead of putting down roots and it makes every city feel like your home city as far as cooking and alchemy and stuff go.

Nice vid man.. the lil things such as the Duvencourte thing was nice b/c its not like theres alot of info about theres a nice daily routine there, and the various vendors.

Thank you! I love love your videos! I'm new to the game and have learned so much from watching you, please keep up the awesome work!

6:50 gathering gamer girl bath water

Amazing video. Thought I was getting a city to progression video, didnt think I was getting some very useful info on Bartering.

I'm posted up in Hiedel just like so many others. Great location for bringing all my alts together to exchange stuff. Good spot for Kzarka spawn (you can get the notification and almost make it before its dead). Kinda have a fun idea to pair off all my characters and set them up in different locations depending on life skills and grind with their own houses. Would be a fun time waster.

Port Ratt will be absolute beautiful when they do open it up. That will be an awesome map expansion and I will make my home there when they do.

#Grana , cause its bootiful. LOL.

I have velia heidel and calpheon all connected and plan to basically be in all three. Velia is the most developed. Heidel I have like 30% not really using calpheon besides storage. Just discovering this game, great video

Believe you me, people who still grind Sherekhan and Blood Wolves do it because they really love it! Really loving potion pieces not dropping for months!

Hey EvilDoUsHarm! I started this game a couple days ago and fell in love with it. I see you recommend Velia as home base but then you have a different city as a home base in the video. Do you recommend Velia for startes like me or should I go with the town where you have your base? Left a like on the majority of your videos and subscribed as this helps out a new player ALOT - Thanks for all the work you put in!

Your guides are amazing! ty bdo jesus

When you say "setting up a base" it does sound like work. Its so easy to get storage space. The real pain is the logistics that comes with the storages later. Knowing what stuff is where and how to easy get a hold of it. ^^ Also getting a decent house with nice furniture in it, is much more work actually. Even if such things are not really rewarded by the game unfortunately. Rank 1 houses are usually just ugly because they are stuffed with tons of the same cash shop items. I hope some day they give us a nice rewarding system for beautifully furnished houses.

I was set up in Heidel like everyone else, but I find it very crowded and often have to camp for Imperial cooking turn in to get my boxes in. I moved to Calpheon where it is easier to set up 10 farms together, not as crowded, and Imperial turn in is much easier without having to server hop 2652765 times. Calpheon also has a few long paths to horse train when not tending farms or cooking. also with a fast horse its literally 60 seconds from Heidel if need be. Another great video as always, but is missing one thing.... hmmmm.. oh yea, the headband.

My farm is in Velia, barter stuff at Illya/PE, food/cook in Valencia, tame/breed horses in Duvencrune, mats like rocks/logs/traces/etc in Calpheon and enhancement/boss loot/giveaway stuff in Glish. Yay for alts ^3^

This is a perfect example of why you want a T8 horse ASAP. Courser if you can, otherwise Sprint,Instant Accel,S.Instant Accel are the speed skills you want. Don't forget a riding crop.

Also worth mentioning Illia island storage investment to use as a Bartering base.

I just bought the game on PS4 I played World of Warcraft for years on PC so I trying this and kinda like it THX for videos I give you a SUB now! :)

I did moved from Haidel to Duvencrune. Is not that far away and its great for pega-diving from cliffs :)

Best city is calpheon, its the perfect mix of high class and working class. It dont outright hide the slums or the super posh parts, but its still there. Town is charming, but depending on where you go, you have the "im safe cause people are around..... RIght?" feeling. And One of the gates has bank, 2 story house, Market, Worker trader and chef\cooking supplies right around the corner. perfect for the eyes, perfect for the vibe and perfect for lazy people like me! OH and not far away from tons of wood (trees), also not too far off for a "quick trip" too the docks and your SHIP, or Grana and the LSD forest if you got a good mount or a armor stone is a baloonride\hop skip nd a jump away !

Odraxxia has the cheapest storage available, 5 level-5 storage houses for 1+2+3+4+5 CP, best for a dump storage. Valencia has a Turinng Gates villa inside the city, very very very good for a free-to-play player who is into lifeskill.

I personally prefer Velia. Great vid.

O'draxxia, definitely. That music

Just starting on this game and thank you

I’m thinking about moving to altinova. I mostly grind Cadry’s and other desert mobs and it has got access to the ocean. Also I do a lot of pila fe scrolls.

Why did you skip Altinova?

Actually Grana is also a great city to make crates in, deliver them at Valencia. Easy distance profit.

Just subscribed great vid

thanks for another great video!

im in velia, bought all the storage there and set up my fences at loggia farm, probably gonna move to heidel for imperial cooking purposes s

Altinova is a good midway place between Mediah and Valencia. It’s definitely not a pretty city and the houses are nothing to brag about but it has just about everything a person needs.

In Oddraxia u have a mithryl mine which is can be considered as a passive income

2 houses in Hiedel and the Grana4. Relatively new but run horses and run them from Grana to the desert and back. Only once afk overnight did it get a interrupt from lag/zone/whatever you call it. Artisan 2 or 3 and not a money making venture at all. Horses in bdo are like real life horses.

Good day. I need your help again bro. can you put up a guide on the bonus quest "cooking for calpheon slums" - the reward of 1k milk daily seems to be very feasible to me. this can help out a lot to those doing imperial cooking(sute tea) Ive tried doing this but kindly lost a long the way after I gave the 100 meat pie to giovan. decided to move on to other quest and got run out of space for my other daily quest. I forfeited this quest and when I decided to do this again, found myself back to tranan underfoe - first line of quest. hehehe

Heyyy, to clarify, I am a newbie, why not live in altinova? (makes sense to me cus of all the storage available, and the many grinding spots around, you got most of the NPCs you need right there, I get its not central, but still.

Glish also has the Tier 4 Tool Work shop for making Master Matchlock

I'm housed at Grana I know it's kinda a pain when I got to ride all the way to the desert for rift boss but I farm trees/star end and thornwood so it's the safe bet lol.

little late poster here, but I really like all the cities. Atmosphere wise Grana, Duvencrune, and Altinova are my pics. But for convenience, I set up in Heidel. I really really really wish they would create a new zone with a south-east asia flair. I'd be there in a heartbeat!

I actually love altonova its been my home city since day one the city of theives!!

So early graduation has been introduced now but we need 228 ap and 298 dp do u think u could do a small guide on how to get there easily I mean I’ve got full nezzar gear but I’m on 291 dp I think I need like it or two pen tuvalas with the nezzar but I’m not sure lol

any remote house that has not so many houses like Viv Foretta Hamlet maybe somthing by a lake or up in the mountains?

I have had a home in Calpheon, and Heidel, and after about a month I left Caltheon to barely ever go back. I am a Lifeskiller and just preferred the convenience of Heidel over the big city.

That Reblath seller on Velia tho

8:19 BTW I learned from finishing the O'dyllita main quest line, how to pronounce it correctly. It's "oh-dill-it-uh."

Who needs a city when you can live in a treehouse at long leaf forest sentry post.

Farming in Velia, Coocking and alchemie in Odraxxia Grinding in Valencia Main Storage in Altinova because i can story my worries there

All the outlying houses and small villages in velia have houses almost as much as the others :P

bdo codex says you can craft master matchlock in most cities.. so are you right, or are they right? well, valencia, odraxyia, kamasylvia, glish, duvencrune. i guess thats far from all.

Someone was in a really good mood here :D One joke after another hihihi

I live in Velia solely because it has a great afk fishing spot and it’s close to one of my favourite spots to farm for armour and that’s the Helms post! I don’t know why but I tried to move to Heidel because it generally is a great spot for its convenience but it just didn’t feel right!

"Someday that'll open up as an expansion..." Well, that aged quite well actually haha

Thanks for the video. I’ve been playing this game on and off for 3 years and I just barely got to Kamasylvia and Grána. I just got to 180 AP a few days ago but the time to get there was definitely not worth it. They made the progression system so horribly tedious and overly expensive that I’m honestly surprised anyone still plays this. The combat is fun but the fact that it takes years to get anywhere makes it boring. Any advice on how to get better weapons faster or armor faster? I’ve heard of legendary people in the 300 AP range but I’ve never heard of or spoken to anyone in any Guilds that know how to do it. Everyone is stuck around 200 AP/DP and lower. It seems like the Devs have locked off huge parts of the game. Some places on the map recommend over 200 AP but nobody can ever get there. Maybe they’re only open in Korean servers?

Enjoy a comment, on the house, to feed the mighty youtube algorhythm gods. Keep up the good videos! :)

Thanks

I feel slighted since my home city just got laughed at! For Altinova!

there s another tools workshop in glish for that master matchlock tho.

I personally love heidel the most.

I wanna do everything [on one char], and this kinda makes me realize that.. I probably can't, or I'd really only be able to focus on one at a time, due to travel reasons.

The Altinova thing was funny.. but it still has its uses .

somehow i like port epheria is beautiful and close to calpheon. there and heidel are my choices

Funny. I live in Heidel because I'm too lazy to move lol 😆

Forgot about money crates in grana

I remember when the game was released and I was like "wth is this buzz around housing and stuff"...once I reached 60 and had "quite enough" mats to try it myself, I completely fell for it (possible addiction) xD. I would dare to say that housing is probably the reason why I miss the game so much, because that was the only activity I was doing up to three months before I completely left the game. I was trying to steer clear of the RNG as much as possible, but it made me quit eventually anywayz xD

what is your guardian's outfit?

I was wondering, what happens to housing in seasonal servers when it ends. What happens to your items inside the house, furniture, and so on.

I hate living in duvencrune for the exact same reason I love it: The people that's there is mostly AFK Even though I like the fact that imperial boxes never run out (because no one makes imperials in duvencrune) sometimes I'd like to meet people I could suddenly speaking to him, Duvencrune gets extremely lonely at times

port epheria also have a meat factory very close

Something that like about Grana is that the storage is so close to the imperial delivery npc

Velia and heidel cause they are the most local cities in my opinion

Cp wise odraxxia has a good storage capacity

can we have an update? now that Odraxxia has been out for a while and with the new region?

I live in Port Ratt, I'm antisocial.

I bought a house by where the khruto enemies in the castle town overlooking the water

Lovely

How do you get inside your place that you purchased? For me it only allows to to look at other players homes which pissed me off sooo fucking much

Odraxxia is best storage per cp, 5 houses=16 cp for 80 storage slots (avg of 5 slots per cp), first 2 houses in chain give 32 storage slots for 4 cp (8 slots per cp!!!)

altinova

Valencia cuz im a red player who rides a unicorn... trade buff, grind, and lion meat + titanium crates= BRRRRR

Heidel, Serendia. It's the central location on the world map. Valencia is the worst. It's WAAAAAAAAY right off the map in the desert. Velia is a secondary choice followed by Calpheon and Altinova.

LOL! So that's the infamous Port Ratt.

Well am i doing something wrong? Velia is my storage, heidel is crafting ground, calpheon is siege weapon storage, Epheria is ship manufacture, Duvencrune dragon weapon asembly and Valencia coconut farm?

Thats not true, you can craft the master matchlock in Glish too

if this game had dungeons it would be perfect

didn't know u could set 50k times awesome

I had not discovered altinova when I watched this video 1 week ago but now I'm completing Mediah's quests and the joke is even funnier bc GOD I hate that city
