Hello there, welcome to the game.

If you are looking for some assistance with the game, I usually recommend the official BDO discord server: discord.gg/blackdesertonline

There are a lot of other players willing and able to help out and lend a guiding hand for all the questions you may have.

If you are looking for some guides you can already use, I recommend checking out BdFoundry: https://www.blackdesertfoundry.com/guide-list/ , where you can find a lot of guides for you to peruse. I personally would tell you to check out their season guide, https://www.blackdesertfoundry.com/season-servers-guide/, since it will give you a lot of info on how to play your first char.

Of course, these forums are also an option to ask questions and get some help, but the discord is far more active. There are also guilds that give advice to newer players (you can often find them advertised in chat), or you use the new player group chat in game, if you have any urgent questions.

Let me know if you need anything else :)
