sure you can do it that way but obviously it is much much easier the pay2win wallet warrior way buying the cash-exclusive canape for 10 bucks than earn 2 billion silver as a new player.  

Pretty comical hearing the apologists in this thread claim that 250 AP zones is a resonable expectation for  new players, too. 

Yeah the CP it gives is so insignificant, that if you would afk cook instead of runing around the map for the log, you would proabbly get more.

Also 1DP is pretty much nothing for a new player. It only really matters when it will cost you billions to get a another DP.

The log isn't meant for someone who just got the game, why did you think that? Many logs you can do the easy parts and have to come back to the hard parts. I had logs partially complete for ages, then came back when I was a bit stronger. You know, progression.

I couldn't fully complete the Crow's Nest questline for ages. I came back with better gear and spent a few minutes reading strategies and I got it and it felt great.

It doesn't give much CP anyway, like someone said you can just cook @ early levels for nearly no cost--just sell what you make--and power CP level way more than this log will allow. The log is just a small bonus.

And no you don't need a canope or level 4 silver cloths or a 1b alchemy stone to get an acceptable cooking time for casually leveling CP/cooking XP. There are very efficient budget options for lifeskilling. The buff food is even basically free atm.

As I speak you can fish for an hour and get 100m through a simple event quest. How hard is playing 1 hour every day for ten days and get 1 of the 2 items I mentionned. I get some people are butthurt about cash shop shortcuts but shortcut to 10 hours of relaxed fishing gameplay is next level of being dramatic over nothing.

What's pretty comical is people like you putting a label on experienced players that make the effort telling you that grouping is available to everyone and totally allow to bypass any gear requirement. What people like me are apologists for is player competence and ingame knowledge shared with everyone. And as a thank you for doing the effort we get insults, nice.

KEKW. Typical Woots.

Some people are so much socially challenged that they see grouping with others as a hard wall.

I took the time to make these books and... Seriously, nothing better to do than complaning for this?

A player who began to play on a season and managed to finish it with a decent stuff is able to do these books. The required fights from Crow's Nest are not any kind of end-game content, and Kratuga can be made in a duo or trio of decently tuvala geared players. Grouping, in a MMORPG, crazy idea right?

OP should question his own definition of a "new player" in BDO. Even at the complete end of a first season, you're nothing more than a new player and the bonus CP are a great gift for players with low CP, and you still have a lot of things to know and to do.

You have to realise at this point in the game, the first real upgrade new players will be making is at least 2b considering they leave seasonals with essentially full TET armors and TRI accessories. Not only that, but 2b is all you need to get to hardcap cp gain, you can skimp out on the stone which is 1.1b and only gives .5 seconds more. 

Coincidentally, they leave season as ~240 ap kutum.

Doesn't take much time to hit 300 without the new player book anyway. NPC locating and mob knowledge is easy to come by. 

No arguments on the topic, but attempting at a personal attack. Yup. that's you.

Anything relevant to say aside of you cheap attack attempt ?

Since half these people play the game and the other half don't know what they are talking about,

Allow the EXPERT to explain it to the community.

There are essentially 2 kinds of 1 Second Cooking.

A: The poor mans version: Which relies on Utensils where are currently on PRE ORDER at over 1M each.  This is needed along with stones, draughts, food etc.

B: Master Level 1 Sec Cooking: *Smug* *Smug* *smug* which is what I have obtained.  No draughts, no crafting or purchasing special materials.  Just the event food, 1 stone, and basic Unlimited cheap tools.

So these people that have no idea what they are talking about just assume you magically have unlimited -1 second cooking utentils and other requirements which naturally I already stated isn't really feasible.

Thus the +5 Clothing or the PAID Outfit are a massive advantage.  Additionally obtaining some of the highest reductions stones may be more difficult than obtaining a VP on the market place.
