I know there are a few things I've missed based on the comment section but I hope you can see that I've tried my best to get some valuable information out to new players as best I can. The essence of this video was initially to help my friends and some new players in my guild, but made this into a video that my friends thought would be helpful for others. Please definitely put your advice that you have down below as I can see I've missed a very small handful of things. I do hope this helps you nonetheless and please look forward to more informative guides coming out soon. I will keep working towards improving my delivery and trying my best to ensure I have as much accurate information as possible. LETS GAME GAMERS!!!
Outside of farming items that could "possibly"/drop"for an item with the traits you need..The only other way is to spend lucent to upgrade your traits? Fastest way I should say. Is it possible to farm the materials for crafting green and blue items, instead of using lucent to buy off auction house?To buy the stuff you want to upgrade your trades with?
This has probably, the best and efficient way to upgrade your gear to anyone watching this, I highly suggest not skipping any details. Give this man a medal.
Extremely informative and very easy to follow. I love that you showed us real time examples instead of just providing screenshots or only explanations. Great content! Definitely earned a like and follow :)
Just watched 2 of your videos, I feel like I have learned more about the game and how to go about progression in just 2 videos than I have in the countless other videos I’ve watched about the game from other people, thank you for actually being informative 😂
I was so focused that I finished watching the video until the end. RIP to the blue gears I fed to my purple without even realizing how wrong it was. Thank you for making this guide!
thank you for this, i was doing 1-2-3 but did not know you can use blue traits for blessing and can use the blessing for a better chance for it to stick, also what blew my mind was that you dont need to use the same piece to level up your trait and that you can use other "belts" with same trait to level up your trait... #Mindblown
Endurance is not the equivalent of damage reduction. There is an actual damage reduction stat in game, actually 2. Endurance is the counter stat to critical hit chance. Raising your endurance will lower the chance of being critically hit.
You just saved lives brother!!!!!! LOTS OF LIVES! :) Outstanding guide, I would say. You broke down everything and made it understandable to true experienced players. Had no clue what to do and spend like 30 mil of sollland plus a bunch of lucend and I m still on 0 mode even on PVE. Thanks a lot brother!
This is very good information. I have to say, a lot of "influencers" came out with bad advice to slam +6 green into blue and level that up to transfer it to purple to get +6 purple. I feel very sorry for the people who listened to that awful advice; I did it with one item before I got told differently by a good friend. Big thanks to you! One minor thing to add if you play the "long game". The chance on T1 purple is 10%, on T2 its 5%. Since Blessing transfers, you could go +9 blue trait it out. Get your BiS purple keep it base, just start maxing the traits out with 1-time unlock + 10% chance on blue which you can either farm/buy and then transfer the +9 traited blue when your BiS purple T1 is traited aswell since the blessing transfers and you have a higher chance on the T2, since the chance drops to 5%.
Idk who u watched but everyone been saing to FULLY TRAIR your gear before transfering And everyone who had valid knowledge on the game ALL mentioned to not transfer gear on lvl 0 higher tier equipment, first make it 7.50%(Even fully traited) For Example. IF you want to transfer already traited gear FIRST you lvl up purple gear TO LVL 7 AND 50% and transfer it after that to make it lvl 9 instantly. REASON behind that is (to lvl purple from 0>6 takes less materials compared to lvling it up from 6>9 because amount of growth stones needed increases by a alot and by each lvl the amount of XP per click decreases) So basically if you need 50 growth stone to lvl up from 0>6 you need like 100 to lvl up from 6>9.
@@gandulfnopls7834 I heard that too, but then someone mathed it out and said its only some % more efficient. Too lazy to do the math, but it is a good point to first level it up to 7 and 50%. Idk you can rewatch some big influencers with that bad advice, i will not expose them. But the amount of people here and in the game with 0 traited blues and running around with 0 traits on epics but slammed all resources in them is noticeable.
Perfect video! Love the explanation! And the visuals I keep watching videos where they talk fast and don’t explain how it works only the way it’s done!
YOU ARE THE NEW GANDOLF THE WHITE, ON GOD YOU HAVE A NEW SUB AND FAN I'M NEW TO T&L FROM ESO AND THE LEARNING CURVE IS A BIT STAGGERING THIS HELPED SO MUCH.....THANKS AND KEEP'EM COMING.
I'd like to add that if you are going for 100% efficiency it's best to level your purple to level 7 @ 30% (I think may be a bit more not 110% sure) and then transfer your blue item into your purple. This will save you mats overall from going 6-9 on your purple later on.
You know, I was doing some rough math myself a few days ago and I came to a similar conclusion. It should only save significantly less materials only if you have really bad RNG for lvl 7 and on. Good to know that after RNG and averages, it doesn't matter as much.
Was cool watching ya reviewing this, and creating the thumbnail! Nicely done! I'm not currently playing T&L (I'm really wary of NCSoft after how they ruined Lineage 2 some years ago going all-out P2W cash shop - so I'm sitting back and seeing how they handle it going forward), but this is a guide I'd definitely follow if/when I decide to really dive in. Your passion for what you do is great to see. Same with your humility, sense of humor, and appreciation for your community. Also, your GIMP-Fu is strong. So that's pretty cool, too :p.
Why wait when the game is F2P migh aswell have some fun with it before they ruin it as your worried about, Have fun with the game as is untill they ruin it and then leave ?
@@madknox4666 That's a fair question. The F2P doesn't factor into it for me. I'm fine with paying a sub if there was one. It's about investing the time and energy into it, only to have the rug pulled. I was really into Lineage 2 when they ruined it. And it sucked. I still miss the way that game was "once upon a time". Would rather not do that again lol. I'll wait to see how things play out this time. I'm playing GW2 for now and really enjoying it. I know after all these years, ANet isn't going to screw it over like that.
Guys if you f2p player go to purple items its dont matter .unlock and buy all traits on blue gear it will be very long jurney if you not pay real money
Little bit of feed back. Great information and appreciate getting straight into it. But when actually doing an action, maybe slow down just a little on the clicks. Maybe just me but a thought. Thanks again dude, thanks for the info
Most helpful trait video I’ve seen. Clear and concise, thank you! BDO was a great game, I can resonate all too closely with gear score and stat brackets lol.
Ok this is the best trait video ive seen by a mile. Finally properly explained, thanks my dude. Damn purple gear is a fucking nightmare. May just do my blues and call it there, pretty casual 😅
What I don't understand is why people sell traits of some better items with higher prices than worse equal tier items even though the trait is the same. There is literally no difference if you buy the cheapest Heavy Attack Chance trait. It does the same job. You don't need your exact copy of your weapon in order to level up the trait...
appreciate this bro i was skipping to end gear and leveling it i will stop doing that and focus mid game build and get the right traits im sure this is why im not doing good in pvp lol
For late game long down the road when almost everyone has their late game builds most evasion builds won't do enough especially vs GS builds cause stat wise the hit chance will be higher than any evasion stat that can be reached so let it be up to your discretion for if an evasion builds something you want to invest in at this point in time, also traits can be unlocked with traitunlock stones for a selection unlock
Absolutely great video. I'm new and had no idea. I went straight to wanting purples without knowledge but I can easily go back to blues and set myself up better
if you have leveled up the blue with the traits and all. You still want to use that item to partly level up the purple? and what happends to the traits? will they be a part of the purple? like it normally levels up your purple item?
i would like for someone to do a video with the most common Endurance / Evasion numbers. What numbers are most pvp dps players going to build for hit chance vs how much evasion do players usually have. What number of endurance should i be aiming for etc etc
Thank you for this guide. Its super helpful and makes good sense! I was going straight for naked purple items but need to reconsider it now, esp as you can carry blessing from blue to purple items. One question I have is around the tradeoff. You mention at 21:21 that the traits tradeoff vs magic defense is worth it (which i fully agree), but what about the stat tradeoff (ie that +4 wisdom and +4 perception) that typically comes with purple gear? As those +4s are pretty good to help your charcter hit the 30+ stat levels for those extra bonuses.

That is a mature way to handle things. However, it would be great if you tell us which infos you missed.

Why cant i unlock traits with my stones? Dont have the option
How do you get Lucent other than paying real money for it?
Man, you straight bruh! Anything helps I say.
As a noob I was skipping eerything with traits and you opened my eyes Thx
Most welcome 😁

hands down the best/easiest to follow video about gearing up!!!

I've been playing this game with all my friends the wrong way.
Thankyou for your videos man

I have ~1250 crit so unless you got like 1800 melee endurance ill crit u all the time.
@@jwag301 with yours 1200 crit and mine 800 endurance, you would have ~30% to crit
Wouldn't it be 40%? @@177silas
@@jwag301 good thing not everybody is playing for pvp. I'm a support entirely focused in pve, bosses and mobs don't give a sht abt endurance.
Crit is not so much of a problem in this game. It's crit+heavy attack
I subscribed because of the sofisticated software you used in your explanation.
welp i want to quit now... i fucked all that up

Been sooo confused on traits until this video. Thank you!
Probably the most comprehensive guide on anything related to this game, keep it up
This is so in depth and very informative! Helps a ton for me as i have never messed with the trait system yet

ugh the 6 green > 9 blue > purple is what i did. horrrrrrible. now im trying to play catch up cuz im regrinding gear
@@j0shimitsu No worries, you can still transfer purple into purple, but will cost you some solant.

you've done a great job explaining this , i was struggling with traits. looking forward to more of your vids on this game.
I had not realised how deep this goes but seems simple enough.

You truly blew my mind.. you have no idea the grind I’ve been putting in to get the same item with a different trait. Farming backwards apparently
Damn! Been doing it wrong all this time, running around blind in this game. This really help me understand the game more. Thank you!
I'd like to add that if you are going for 100% efficiency it's best to level your purple to level 7 @ 30% (I think may be a bit more not 110% sure) and then transfer your blue item into your purple. This will save you mats overall from going 6-9 on your purple later on.
Apparently it's level 7 and 31% to be safe.
This is an amazing tip. thank you!
This is a myth and you get the same exp either way, it's just slightly better in case of bad rng
Someone did the math and it's only 3.5% more efficient this way
You know, I was doing some rough math myself a few days ago and I came to a similar conclusion. It should only save significantly less materials only if you have really bad RNG for lvl 7 and on. Good to know that after RNG and averages, it doesn't matter as much.

I never even dipped into traits yet when right now im running a lot of blues. Time to keep an eye on thanks to you!
Thank you for this beautiful guide, subscribed.
Thanks for the video. It was very informative. I feel dumb for all the gear I have dissolved up until now.
First video I've seen which really expleined this Traits. Thanks!

When you were drawing the graph on your highly advanced software, it felt like you were a schoolteacher teaching algebra xD lol
This video was so helpful. I was doing so wrong. Thank you
Thanks for the guide! It was really helpful.
I finally understand this light forsaken system
thanks a lot!!! very helpful understanding this complicated game!!!
Thanks for the amazing guide ! Best greetz from germany

Little bit of feed back. Great information and appreciate getting straight into it. But when actually doing an action, maybe slow down just a little on the clicks. Maybe just me but a thought. Thanks again dude, thanks for the info
Thank you for that feedback. ill definitely take this more into consideration.
Far the best guide in this title! Thanks a lot, I’m afkin TnL master now ;)
“It’s probably gonna fail!” Proceeds to make Saiyan noises as the screen fades to black…
“Aahhhh yes… I too can relate!” 😂😂
😂
I need to rethink my way of gearing up now hahaha I am guilty aiming for purples....smh. Thank you for the amazing video, now to re grind again.
This is exactly the guide I was looking for, I was jumping from green to purple and someone told me it wrong but no one explained why
Wow man, thx , now i understand this trait system 😎👍
Dude if all my college teachers explained things like this guy i would be doing rocket science by now
Great video with great explanation and respected the lucent sacrifice
Bro thank you,you broke it down proper great video
This video helped a bunch thanks for the detail description made it easy to understand your the man
here we go, been waiting for this! ty

great teaching honestly, big thumbs up.
Just hit 50 had no idea but now I understand thanks
Thank you sooo much! clear and precise instructions
makes alot of sense, ty for this
Finally an actually helpful guide ,i kept seeing ppl with mostly blue gear on them and i was like JUST GET TO PURPLES BRO damn now i see why xd
you helped me to understand lots of mechanix now. that is very good video . thank you !!

appreciate this bro i was skipping to end gear and leveling it i will stop doing that and focus mid game build and get the right traits im sure this is why im not doing good in pvp lol
What should i do if i already have a lot of naked purple +9 gear? Should i start new blue gear again?
Thx for the tips, explained very well! 😁👊
Thank you for the excellent information!
Amazing guide dude, thanks!
Glad it helped!
Thank you! Just hit 50 and the gear upgrading has been confusing the crap out of me.
Grats on 50!
Lovely guiide thank you so much sir. I didnt understand anything about this earlier
Dude amazing video tyvm . Very detailed .
I already fucked up by equipping purple gear and using my blue on it. Hopefully I can recover little by little .

really helpful and I like your voice. Thanks for the vid.

I regret not seeing this video sooner. I've wasted so much time and lucent.
if you have leveled up the blue with the traits and all. You still want to use that item to partly level up the purple? and what happends to the traits? will they be a part of the purple? like it normally levels up your purple item?
Great video & really helpful.
If you transfer a fully traited blue into a purple that purple will have enough blessing to complete 2 traits
To complete 2 traits by feeding blues into it?
Very informative!!! Thank you!! 🙏🏼
I did not know you can use traits from different items. I have so many extras in my storage JIC 😂
i would like for someone to do a video with the most common Endurance / Evasion numbers.
What numbers are most pvp dps players going to build for hit chance vs how much evasion do players usually have.
What number of endurance should i be aiming for etc etc
jeez, thanks for this, very helpful
Thank you for this guide. Its super helpful and makes good sense! I was going straight for naked purple items but need to reconsider it now, esp as you can carry blessing from blue to purple items.

As those +4s are pretty good to help your charcter hit the 30+ stat levels for those extra bonuses.
Thats for PvP since you want endurance or evasion as high as possible, for only PvE the increased damage from the purple makes it better.
After tons of videof finally the one I could understand. This in game gearing progress is the most overcomplicated I have ever seen in mmorpg.
Amazingly helpful, thank you for showing me how I'm screwing up lol
What are some of the most important traits I need for my Greatsword+dagger class?
