My story begins in 2017 when my friend let me know about this grand game called BDO.
At first i didnt think much of it since i was not big on MMO's, but since he was going to play i thought to my self and gave it a try anyway.
I made my first character and chose its class as Musa, because spear wielding character looked cool. Me and my friend partied up and did quest line togather and after reaching level 56 we started grinding togather to level 60. Now it took us weeks to do so since the BDO was harder back then ,but once we accomplished our goal we felt like we had finished the game. Days later when we hopped on voice chat togather and started up the game we realised we had not seen much of the game yet, we were so focused on just grinding at the spots where we could make the most money and the most xp that there were tons of places where havent even been yet. So we set up for a ride, we started with friendly territory at calpheon and moved from there to valencia. Desert is big and at the time we didnt have any camels so we traveled on foot. You might think desert is a barren wasteland with only grinding spots on edge of it, but id say you are wrong. There plenty of hidden places in middle of the desert and more breath taking sights to explore around it. At the time we didnt know much about the world bosses we had fought Kzarka, but we didnt think much of it, so one day when we were traveling on the desert we saw group of 4 people pass us and we didnt think much of it since they quickly faded from our sights. We were walking and talking and suddenly we got the message that the Nouver had awoken. That moment the great desert dragon Nouver came from the ground and suddenly army of people appeared so we quickly joined in to defeat the Nouver. After we defeated the dragon, we went along our way and finished up our sight seeing tour in Valencia. Since we were at it for days now, we decided to take a break and go back to Heidel to rest. When we got back to Heidel we decided to start working on our life skills, i made myself a Witch who i would dedicate for cooking.
Since i wanted to make some money while i was at it i decided to cook beer, but i soon realised that there were tons of food and the cooking in BDO is whole another world in itself and the same will go to all the other life skills. Then i realised that this is the adventure i had longing for, train myself in combat,cooking and taking a tour around the world. Now that few years have passed, ive gone around the map few times, met different people, fought the monsters from Balenos to Drieghan and took many new tours around the map, but i will always remember my first one.
For new adventurers id say that the exploration, awe of seeing new amazing things and meeting new people will never end and your firsts will always stay with you!
Heres a picture of me showing my gear to my friend after we reached lvl 56. Unfortunetly i cant find any other pictures from that time :(
