Blade and Soul Guide: What to do once you hit level 45.

I've been playing Blade and Soul since launch and one of the very popular questions I see from fresh level 45s is what do I do now? So i'm here to help you out and point you in the right direction because as new player I know it can be somewhat overwhelming. So let's get started.

1.) Upgrade your weapons and accessories!



When you hit level 45, your main goal should be to upgrade your weapons, ring, earring, and necklace to Awakened Infernal Stage 10 or close. This will ensure that your weapon and accessories are close to max as possible and it'll also make it easier for you to do end game content.

Eventually you'll come to a point where you'll start needing Moonwater Transformation Stones and Soulstones to upgrade your weapon and accessories. Right now those items are expensive and difficult to obtain so upgrade everything as much as you can. Always upgrade your weapon first, then your accessories. Your weapon will always take priority over everything else.

If you cannot upgrade everything completely right at level 45 don't worry about it. That's where end game content will help you along the way to obtain materials, gold and other stuff that you'll need.


2.) Get your level 45 Soul Shield and Belt

Your Soul Shield is very important because it increases your Health Power and also increases your stats like Critical, Evasion, Block and more. So once you ding level 45 the first thing you wanna do if you haven't already is get your level 45 soul shield and level 45 belt by going to Hogshead Hamlet and visiting Moonwater Valor Stone Trader Ryujo. You will need 16 Moonwater Valor Stones for the soul shield and 10 for the belt so hopefully you've been saving them up.

Very important! Make sure you get the Level 45 Soul Shield and not the level 41 ones. The level 45 soul shields cost 2 Moonwater Stones where as the level 41 soul shields only cost 1. So please heads up on that.

3. Do all of your dailies

Now that you've completed step 1 and 2 you're ready to do some end game content. When you hit level 45, you'll probably notice that you don't have a lot of gold to begin with and that's perfectly normal. When I finished hitting 45 on my toon I had roughly about 3g luckily for us, dailies give you a nice amount of silver per daily quest so that is why I recommend you do your daily quests as much as you can. Here is a quick guide of the stuff you should be doing.

Do all Faction Dailies (There are 6 areas where you pick up quests)
Do all Poharan 24-man Dailies (aka E. Fleet Supply Chain, Blackram Supply)
Do the “Big Four” dungeon dailies (Brightstone, Pigsty, Skittering, Oogong)
Farm Cerulean Camp in Misty Woods for Moonwater Arena Soul Shield (PvP set)
Farm Poharan 24-man bosses for Blackram Supply Soul Shield (PvE set)
(Optional) Level your crafting and farm Brightstone for the Moonwater Stone recipe

3. You will continue to do all of the above dailies each day, regardless of where you are on your soul shield sets and equipment. In this order, here is what you need to get for equipment as soon as you hit 45:

Moonwater Belt from Hogshead Hamlet merchant
Obtained with Moonwater Valor Stone

Awakened Infernal Stage 10 Weapon

Awakaned Infernal Stage 10 Accessories

Moonwater Arena Soul Shield Set from Misty Woods
You obtain this by farming the bosses at the Cerulean camp in Misty Woods. Head out there and look for a party in Faction chat or in Teamspeak. The full set requires 160 tokens dropped from the bosses.

Blackram Supply Soul Shield Set from Poharan 24-man
These are obtained from the boxes dropped by the bosses in Poharan 24-man instance

Siren Bracelet obtained from Poharan 24-man
Dropped from boxes from the bosses

Siren Belt obtained from the Merchant outside Poharan 24-man for 20 Siren Emblems
Emblems are obtained from the Poharan 24-man dailies and from boxes dropped by bosses

Storm Siren Weapon from Poharan 24-man
Until you are able to upgrade your Hongmoon weapon with Moonwater Transformation Stones, I advise picking up the Storm Siren Weapon from Poharan 24-man and using it

4. Current End-Game.

Now that you have completed all of the above tasks, there are a few things alongside your dailies and the above tasks you could work on in order to prepare for the patch on February 10th, 2016:

Farm for Prestige Points. The best place to do this is by killing Soojin on the Crimson Beach Outpost. He gives 2 points per kill, turn them in after 21 points for x3 credit.

Start working on achievements. Your achievements will give you points which are required to unlock your Hongmoon levels once they come out and get more skill points. So farming achievements can not only be a fun adventure, but it is also a necessary one to be as strong as possible.

Farm 6-man Poharan and 4-man Poharan for Perfumes. These perfumes will be required to level up gear.

Make sure to do your PvP and Faction dailies in order to 1) Gain soulstones and 2) Gain gem fragment pouches to increase the quality/usefulness of your gems

Optional: Train up your crafting skills and/or farm Brightstone Ruins for the Moonwater recipe so you can make stones for clanmates/yourself.

Blade and Soul: All Classes discussed

What's up everyone. Today we'll be talking about all the classes in the game Blade and Soul. We'll be discussing all of them in depth and we'll be talking about the pros and cons of each class. There are seven classes in total.

Classes

Summoner

The Summoner and their Familiar are a team, fighting together to overwhelm their enemies. The Familiar rushes into the thick of it, dealing heavy physical damage and holding the attention of their opponent. Meanwhile, the Summoner hangs back, supporting their Familiar with long range skills that both help their feline friend and hinder their shared enemy.

Don’t let the adorable appearance of these two fool you. Summoner attacks deal constant damage and can readily control the flow of battle, making them particularly hard to deal with. Even if one part of the team is defeated, they can revive their fallen ally and jump right back into the fight.

The Summoner and their Familiar are the strongest at transferring health from foes to themselves. While it is a great class for novices, actually mastering the Summoner is a difficult process given their wide range of tactics and abilities.

How to make gold fast in Blade and Soul

What's up everyone. Today i'm going to show you how I make gold in Blade and Soul. Making gold in blade and soul is a little difficult right now because the game is still new and the economy is some what erratic however I've found some ways you can make some gold in Blade in Soul once you reach level 45.

As with every MMO gold is extremely important. It's no different in Blade and Soul. Gold allows you to upgrade your character, buy materials for crafting also helps leveling alts easier and most importantly, you can exchange gold for NCoin which in turn you can use in the cash shop to by outfits, services and other stuff.

So today i will show you my routine on how to make gold. Just a background on myself I've been playing Blade and Soul since launch and this is the most effective ways to earn gold. I earn about 13-14g a day using this method alone. Now keep in mind that this is for level 45 only.

 If you are sub level 45 I wouldn't worry about making gold too much because there really isn't much you can sell at lower levels that will net you any gold. Sub 45 you should only be focused on grinding to level 45 asap and also doing your faction dailies when you can for the extra xp.

There are four ways to earn gold in Blade and Soul

  • Grinding gold doing blade and soul dailies
  • Grinding gold by doing the 4 blue dungeons
  • Grinding gold through the auction house / market place
  • Grinding gold through pvp 
  • Grinding gold by doing Mushin's Tower
 
 Farming gold E. Fleet Supply Chain Dungeon Dailies

When you hit level 45 this is one of the first things you should be doing. Every day you wanna head over to E. Fleet Supply and do the 24 man dungeon dailies. These dailies net you around some 3g+ a day and they are very easy to do. This is an open dungeon and you cannot queue for it through group finder you have to go there by taking a portal and organizing a group.

 This takes about 15-20minutes to complete depending on your group. Basically this is easy gold and I would recommend getting a party of six people so that you can make it even easier for both you and them. I recommend doing this everyday. Its very easy.

Zone: Moonwater Plains / Hogshead Pastures

Total gold: Around 3 gold+



 There are six daily quests in total



 Misty Woods faction pvp dailies

When you start Blade and Soul one of the first things you do when you start the game is pick a faction. The factions are either Crimson or the Cerulean Order. It's very important to pick a faction because at level 45 you will have access to faction dailies.

These dailies give you soulstones which go between 70 to 80+ silver depending your server. The dailies don't take very long to do especially if you get into a good group. I've made about 14+ gold daily just by selling soulstones that I get from doing faction dailies.


Zone: Moonwater Plains / Mistywoods

Total gold: Around 5g+

Grinding gold through arena PVP DAILIES

Zone: Moonwater Plains / Mushin's Tower

Total gold: Around 5g+ depending on your servers economy

 Next we move onto pvp dailies. Even if you aren't a good pvper I still recommend doing these dailies because they give you a ton of xp, silver, and most importantly they give you zen beans which you can use to buy yup you guessed it more soulstones. 

Zen beans are earned only by doing arena pvp and of course doing the pvp dailies. With 2000 zen beans, you can buy one soulstone pouch which can contain as much as 20 soulstones. On my server soulstones are going for .30 silver a piece. That means on a good day if I get 20 soulstones I can make a whopping 6g just buy selling them all! Now that's awesome!

You can grab the PVP dailies at Mushin's Tower

Alternately if you don't have access to Mushin's Tower yet you can hit F9 on your keyboard and enter the arena lobby. Once your in a match you can get the pvp dailies from the waiting area before you enter combat.



Grinding Gold through Dungeons

Once you have done your dailies, you can earn some more gold by doing the four blue dungeons. Each dungeon gives you one daily quest but that's not where your gold will come from. Each blue dungeon drops two moonwater tears and these tears can go for about 70+ silver a piece or sometimes even more depending on your market.

Much of your income will come from running dungeons, and once you get geared out you will be able to solo these dungeons which means the moonwater tears will only be yours and you can get maximum gold from them. That is how I earn most of my gold once I am done doing my dailies. I basically farm The Pigsty and Brightstone ruins which are two of the easier dungeons to solo for my class. I play a summoner and we have a lot of aoe which helps to kills mobs fast!

 There are six major high-level dungeons that you can repeat every day for gold and materials, which you can sell. If you have a class that has good AoE skills and damage, then this process can go more quickly. You pull the mobs in the dungeon into a big group and then take them all out at once. If you are a class that has weaker defenses and is worse at AoE like the Assassin, then you will need to pull fewer monsters at the same time. This process will provide you with experience as well as gold, so you can move towards the level cap. It is generally better to try to solo dungeons instead of doing them as a group, but this is not always possible.


And that's it for now guys, I will be updating this guide as I learn more ways to earn gold in blade and soul. For now though this is by far the most effective way of earning gold in the game.

 If you found the information in this article helpful please make sure to share with your friends. After all who doesn't want to learn how to make gold in blade and soul right? Until next time, I'll cya all later!

Bottom line guys if you want to make gold in blade and soul you have to hit level 45. Once you hit level 45 things become much easier! And once your character becomes geared it gets even MORE easier!
