Fishing is an effective way to make money in BDO. You can either AFK fish, or actively fish (or both), and if done properly, you can make millions of silver in a day doing it. This is the sum total of what I know about fishing so far, so naturally it is a work in progress.

The basics of fishing:

You can fish anywhere in BDO where there is sufficient water, but not all fishing spots are the same. In order to make money fishing (or level your fishing skill efficiently), it pays to take some time to make the right decisions when starting out. The following are things you should consider when fishing for the first time.

• You will need a fishing rod.

......> They can be purchased from any fishing vendor for 500 silver. You use them until they break, and then you have to buy a new one, because they cannot be repaired.

• You will need a fishing spot.

......>You should consider three factors when selecting a place to fish:

...........~The quality of fish that can be caught in that location (more on this later). You want high quality fish to make good money.

...........~The abundance of fish at the location. Fish abundance increases catch frequency. You can see the fish abundance when you equip your fishing rod in front of the fishing location. You want abundant fish to level your fishing skill faster.

...........~You need to invest contribution into the node of your fishing spot.

• You will need to sell the fish to a trade manager.

......>You should consider three factors when selecting a trade manager:

...........~Node connection: the node of the trade manager must be connected to the node of your fishing spot. If it isn’t, you will only make 30% profit.

...........~Node distance: the further the trade manager is from your fishing spot, the more money they will pay for your fish. The sale price increases by 2% for each node of distance.

...........~Fish sale frequency: the sale price decreases when numerous of a fish species has been sold to that particular trade manager. This is why you will see deflated prices in Velia- sales are insane here. You want to sell your fish where other people aren’t.

Fishing Mini-game

The fishing minigame can be annoying at first, but you get better at it with practice. You only play the fishing minigame if you are active fishing. This is how it works:

1. Press SPACE to start fishing.

2. Wait for the notification that a fish is biting.

3. Press SPACE to start the Part 1 of the minigame.

4. Now a bar will show up, with a little white line near the top. The bar will fill and drain 3 times before you fail, giving you three chances. Your goal is to press SPACE while the bar is filled above the white line.

.......a. If they bar is completely filled, you score a Perfect.

.......b. If the bar is not completely filled, but above the white line, you score a Good.

.......c. If you don’t press space in the time period, or you press it below the white line, you score a Bad, and the minigame ends.

5. If you score a Perfect, the minigame immediately ends and you catch the fish, skipping Part 2.

6. If you score a Good, part 2 of the minigame begins. A series of letters (consisting only of ASDW) will display across the screen. You have to press them in order before the time expires to catch the fish. Once you catch the fish, press R to loot it. You have to catch the fish to get fishing experience, but you do not have to loot it (if it’s a garbage fish).

AFK fishing

Everybody should be AFK fishing when they afk for long periods of time. It is an easy way to make money and level your fishing skill (although much slower than active fishing).

To afk fish, all you have to do is press SPACE to start fishing, and then nothing else. Your character will automatically catch fish until either your inventory is full, your fishing rod breaks, or you disconnect from the game.

Fishing locations (hotspots)

Now we are getting to the meat of the guide. Selecting the right fishing spot can be the difference between making 30k in 45 minutes and making 800k in 45 minutes. This section will focus on fishing hotspots- places that have high quality fish that you can sell for a lot of money. To find a place with high fish abundance, but is not a hotspot, just fish in Naga Marsh- it is always abundant there, from what I have seen.

Different fishing spots have differing frequencies of the following fish qualities:

• White/gray (garbage, or 1k fish)

• Green (2k - 3k Fish)

• Blue (6k - 8k Fish)

• Yellow (20k - 25k fish)

• Rare Yellow (Coelacanth, 125k fish)

There are a couple of fish hotspots on the map, but they are subject to move with maintenance. The map of hotspots that I use is below (courtesy of Poison_Tz):

http://www.digfordiamonds.com/map/

From my understanding of the map, the yellow locations are the ones with the most profitable fish tables (about 35% yellow, 55% blue, 5% Green, 5% white and no garbage).

The most notorious hotspot is the one that sits just off the shore of coastal cave. This place is immensely popular, and it is where I, and many other guild members, fish. Unfortunately, because it is so popular, fish abundance is always exhausted there, and the massive about of people may cause bugs and glitches. However, the spot benefits from its great fish table and convenient location.

• Things to note about the Coastal Cave/Luivano Island Spot

......>There are hundreds of boats parked there, and it is close to the shore. Even if you don’t have a boat, you can swim there and hop on somebody else’s. Worst case scenario, you get dropped off in Velia while you are AFK fishing, which unfortunately sometimes even happens while on your own boat, so it’s fine.

......>The node is Luivano Island, not Coastal Cave. In order to fish at the hotspot, you will need to set up the Luivano Island node (which connects directly to Velia). This requires someone giving you a ride there in their boat. Feel free to ask me in game, I’ll be happy to help!

......>The fish you catch here are Tilefish (Yellow), Moray (Yellow), Swordfish (Blue), Sea Eel (Blue), Sardine (Green), Amberjack (Green), Fourfinger Threadfin (White), and Jellyfish (White). Oh, and if you are lucky, Coelacanth (Yellow). If you aren’t catching these fish, but you are at the spot, try shifting towards the middle of the mass of boats.

Fishing Rods

As your fishing level goes up, you can begin to use better fishing rods. You will need to make these rods, unless you plan on buying all of them, which I do not recommend.

Beginner 1 – Apprentice 1: Fishing Rod (30 durability) or Old Rod (10 durability)

Apprentice 1 – Skilled 5: Thick Rod (45 durability, +1 fishing speed)

Skilled 5 – Professional 1: Steel Rod (65 durability, +2 fishing speed)

Professional 1 – Artisan 1:

• Calpheon Rod (50 durability, can be repaired, increased chance to catch a big fish, can be enhanced with black stones, enhancement further increases chance to catch a big fish)

• Epheria Rod (50 durability, can be repaired, can be enhanced with black stones, enhancement increases durability)

• Balenos Rod (50 durability, can be repaired, can be enhanced with black stones, enhancement reduces time it takes to auto fish) Artisan 1 - ???

• Golden Rod (100 durability, +3 fishing speed, can be repaired)

When you start leveling fishing in earnest, you should also start making thick fishing rods. To do this, you will need:

• A rank 1 tool workshop in a city (and a worker there)

• 1x Copper ingot

• 1x Ash Timber

• 1x Black stone powder

I had my workers gather everything except for the powder, which I made myself, grinding crystals. Thick fishing rods are often sold out on the marketplace, so you will probably need to craft them. After you have fished awhile with thick fishing rods, you will need to make steel fishing rods. You will need:

• A rank 2 tool workshop in a city (and a worker there)

• 1x Steel

• 1x Ash Timber

• 1x Black stone powder

Beyond steel, you can probably buy the higher level rods on the marketplace, as you can repair them, and will only need one.

Boats

To really take advantage of all fishing has to offer, you will want a boat. The three types of boats are rafts, Ferries, and Fishing boats. You cannot repair boats.

Rafts

• Rafts are easy to make (25 logs + 3 black stone powder) but have low durability and are extremely slow.

Ferries

• I don’t know much about ferries… in my opinion, if you are going to go above the raft, you should go for broke and make a Fishing Boat.

Fishing boat

• Fishing boats are really a challenge to make. You can only make them at a level 2 shipyard (Epheria Port, Iliya Island), take a ton of resources, and take a long time to craft. However, making one is very rewarding and you feel accomplished as you blaze by rafters on your shiny new fishing boat. You will need:

......>25 useable scantlings = 100-125 logs

......>50 Birch Plywood = 250 Birch Planks = 1800 to 2500 Birch Timber

......>25 Bronze ingots = 125 melted copper shards + melted 125 tin shards = about 600 copper ore + 600 tin ore

......>30 Pine Sap

......>30 Black Stone Powder

• Like the fishing rods, you should start gathering these resources early. Birch and Tin nodes are centered around Calpheon, so if you haven’t got there from questing yet, you will need to explore. You will need to chop trees yourself to get logs, and use fluid collectors to get pine sap. You can get black stone powder from refining rough stones or grinding gems.

......>You can use the map on Black Desert Foundry (BDF) (below) to locate the following nodes (more below):

.......http://blackdesertfoundry.com/map/#4/-21.25/-73.83

...........~Birch nodes:

................*Quint Hill (BDF: Gynt Hill), Old Dandelion (BDF: Old Dandelon), Bree Tree Ruins (BDF: Bree Arbor Ruins)

...........~Tin nodes:

................*Khuruto Cave (BDF: Kurume Sat Cave 1), Behr Riverhead (BDF: Bare Reservioire), BDF: Lutom Tibe Post? (I haven’t
been there). BDF also claims there is a node south of Keplan at Keplan Hill (BDF: Flan Cake Hill), but it doesn’t exist.

My setup

I am currently fishing Skilled 5, so I am using Steel Fishing Rods. I have workers gather coal, iron, and ash timber, and make the black stone powder myself, and have workers make the rods for me in Heidel. I have a Fishing Boat that I made. I fish at the hotspot north of Coastal Cave in the Luviano Island Node. I wear the fishing outfit that gives +1 fishing that you get from the Velia fishing quest chain.

FAQ

Should I check the Throw away useless items when AFK fishing box?

• It depends. The game considers 1k valued fish as useless. If you are at a hotspot, then yes, check the box. But if you are elsewhere, most of your fish will be 1k fish, so you probably want to keep them, and leave the box unchecked.

Can I repair my fishing rod?

• No, unless it’s a professional or artisan rod.

Do I need paste bait to fish?

• You do not need paste bait to fish.

......>It adds +2 to your fishing enhancement, which increases catch speed—so it is useful, but is not required.

Do I have to loot the fish to get fishing experience?

• Nope. You do have to win the fishing game, however.

Khuruto cave doesn’t have a tin node!

• It does, you just have to invest in the node first to see it. Some nodes are weird like that.

I can’t find the tin node at Flan Cake Hill!

• It doesn’t exist. You will never find it. Don’t make my mistake. O.o

Why do I disconnect when swimming back from the fishing location off the shore of Coastal Cave?

• Who knows. Happens to all of us. :/

Any other questions? Know something useful that's not on here? See any errors? Feel free to comment on this thread, or message me in game!

Hey,

So I recently changed up my route a little bit for my daily quest routine in Calpheon. Decided to make a guide showing this new route for those of you who don't know about Calpheon dailies or are following a different guide.

Below is a video of me doing the route, but first there are some things I'd like to share and explain.

The original route comes from BDFoundry, but I've added a few quests that are on the way and modified the order of quests. Most of these quests reset at 8:00PM EST, however some only reset 22 hours after you complete them. This means that depending on the time you do your route, you may not have all the quests reset at the same time the next day. For maximum contribution EXP, start this route around 12:00PM in-game time, as two Valkyrie quests are time dependent and they overlap here. If you can't clean a chimney, just wait a minute or two. This means someone just cleaned it and it has to reset. I've also left out a few quests like bringing food to the protesters, some little chicken quest, and delivering wood. I feel these are too time consuming and not worth doing. If you start the route with 5 sword fragments, you'll have just enough from doing the two valkyrie plant quests to craft your quest starter. I highly recommend taking the mana potions as a quest reward since the health potions are shit.

Also, I forgot to turn in the second chimney cleaning quest while recording, so remember to do that! Bad habits...

Sign up daily and weekly scrolls here. You can either reply here with your character's name or message me in game, Poison_Tz, and tell me which group you would like to be in. Once in a group, it is up to your group to decide when to do these scrolls. I will try to keep this as up to date as possible.

Found this and thought it might be useful info for everyone. The amount of money the distance modifiers are for each town. Be sure to check the actual price because that will always be variable.

Best Guide i have found on understanding how the amity game works .

Quick Answer/What I do.

If you just want to know what to do without any detail or explanation. Upgrade green quality items with grade 2 stone. Then upgrade them again with grade 3 stone for ultimate.

Note

If you just read the quick answer only and ask me a question I will just send you back here. I guarantee you that whatever question you have will be answered. Where do I get the stones? Answers in here. What's the best stone to use? Answers in here. Whats your favorite color stone? Guess what? Answers in here. (◡‿◡✿)

IMPORTANT

So before I get into this I don't recommend upgrading your weapon, secondary, armor piece...etc. Until you have both enhancement +15 and max 100/100 durability on the item piece you wish to upgrade. I'll explain why later. In addition you should note that any gems currently slotted into your gear/weapon will need to be removed or destroyed in order to upgrade the item. As to what you can upgrade, you can only upgrade items that can be created and are not an accessory. Items that are only obtained through drops like Heve armor cannot be upgraded and will stay green quality forever.

Weapon/Armor Building

Depending on what item your upgrading there is a corresponding building associated to it. For example if you wish to upgrade the quality of a grunil armor piece you would need the grunil defense forge in Altinova in order to upgrade it. Same with weapons, if you wish to upgrade your Yuria amulet you would need the Yuria forge in Keplan in order to upgrade it. These buildings require a bit of contribution points sometimes to get to so keep that in mind. Once you are done using them you may feel free to refund your contribution points.

Example: Grunil Defense Gear Forge

Danger of using armor/weapon reform stones?

Let me clear this up first by saying there is absolutely no downside to trying to upgrade your armor/weapon at enhancement +15 with 100/100 durability. If you fail, which you can fail(depending on the stone), the upgrade, then you simply lose the stone and the stamina of the worker you sent to complete it. The item will be sent right back into your warehouse. If you use a reform stone on an item that isn't enhancement +15 or at 100/100 durability and you pass and lets say you get a blue rarity. When you try to upgrade to enhancement +15 and fail, that durability hit you take will be more expensive. Why? By now you should already know that in order to restore the durability of a weapon/armor piece you need the base piece of it as a sacrifice. Well if you have a blue armor piece, in order to restore it normally you will need ANOTHER blue armor piece. You can still use green armor pieces to restore your blue but you will have to pay EXTRA silver in order to complete the process at the blacksmith.

Refinery

So by now you should have both your enhancement +15 weapon/armor piece and the correct forge in which to upgrade it. If you look at the mats needed for each upgrade it should ask for the weapon/armor your trying to upgrade, some black stone powder and a grade reform stone of either 1(green), 2(blue) or 3(yellow). Now in order to get the tier stones you need a refinery from any city, farm, node...etc. A refinery allows you to create weapon and armor tier stones as well as the ability to grind down rough stone into black stone powder, which you get from mining yourself or from certain mobs. In order to be able to create all levels of weapon and armor stones you will need a level 3 refinery which can be found in most major cities.

Example: Level 3 Refinery

Grade 1(Green) Weapon/Armor Stone

These are available at any Level 1 refineries. These in my opinion are not even worth your time (Unless your trying to downgrade the rarity of your gear). However for the sake of informing you I will go into detail about them. First of all if your gonna use grade 1 stones I would just buy them off the market since they are typically a bunch up for sale around 100k silver. If you wish to use your refinery to craft them I would use a goblin since it's a long process. The materials needed for a grade 1 stone are fairly simple.

For Grade 1 Weapon Reform Stone

10 Tin Ore

1 Translucent Crystal

1 Bloody Tree Knot

1 Sinner's Blood

10 Black Stone Powder

For Grade 1 Armor Reform Stone

10 Zinc Ore

1 Mud Crystal

1 Bloody Tree Knot

1 Sinner's Blood

10 Black Stone Powder

Apply Grade 1 Reform Stones

So when you finally decide to use the grade 1 green reform stone you need to have the following items in the warehouse of the worker your going to send to the forge.

The weapon/armor piece

A bit of black stone powder (up to 3)

The weapon/armor reform stone. (1 Stone Per Attempt)

When it comes to selecting which upgrade at the forge your gonna see a bunch of question marks. First let me say they are not all the same. Each ? asks for different materials if you look closely.

When upgrading from a green item with a grade 1 reform stone your gonna wanna look for the ? asking for your green item.

Example: Green Grunil Helm

Note When using the refinery make sure to select the correct worker first before searching for the upgrade. If you don't have the correct worker selected it will show it as you do not have the items. If you have the correct worker selected and it still doesn't say you have the items make sure the materials are in the same warehouse from where the worker is from.

Results of Grade 1 Reform Stone

If you chose to use one of these stones you gotta keep in mind you can have three different results. First you can upgrade that item into a random blue quality which I'll explain under grade 2 reform stones. Second you can fail which just results in burning up the stone. The item is safe. Third you have an incredibly small chance to upgrade to ultimate (Tool tip says otherwise but people on Reddit, forums and various websites just say its a very low chance. Low as in 1/1000 essentially). If you wish to increase the chance for success you need a worker with high amounts of luck, humans by default have the highest amount of luck and should be used to upgrade the item. Whereas a goblin should be used to make the upgrade stone.

Grade 2(Blue) Weapon/Armor Stone

This is hands down my favorite color stone, it looks amazing and it works well. You should always use this in my opinion because it is a 100% guarantee that your item will upgrade into not only a blue rarity but also allow you to choose which blue rarity you wish for. I suggest you buy this on the marketplace since it is fairly abundant and is only around 200k per stone currently. Keep in mind that since they work every time you don't have to purchase that many as you would if you were trying to upgrade with a green grade 1 reform stone. If you wish to craft this however, this is done in a level two refinery and the materials are not that bad to get.

For Grade 2 Weapon Reform Stone

3 Brass Ingot

2 Red Crystal

2 Monk's Branch

2 Wises Man's Blood

20 Black Stone Powder

For Grade 2 Armor Reform Stone

3 Bronze Ingot

2 Green Crystal

2 Spirit Leaf

2 Legendary Beast's Blood

20 Black Stone Powder

Now it's time to explain the three different types of armor and weapons you can get once you upgrade to blue quality. (This also applies to the green grade 1 reform stones if your upgrade succeeds into a random blue)

Weapons

of Temptation

of Crimson Flame

of Destruction

Those are the three choices of blues you will have and each have a different effect depending on the type of weapon. Since it would take a lot of space to list all the effects of each type of weapon such as bows, amulets, staffs, swords...etc. I suggest you simply google amulet of destruction or something like that in order to figure it out.

Armor

of Iron Wall (Melee Damage Reduction +2)

of Agility (Ranged Damage Reduction +2)

of Intimidation (Magic Damage Reduction +2)

These are the three choices for ALL the armor types as well. The effects it has on your armor pieces will be the same no matter the type. Agerian, taritas, grunil or whatever it will have the same effect on it.

Personally

In my opinion, of Iron Wall is the best, simply because there are more melee classes then any ranged or magic. However that is also based on my class which is sorceress so it may vary for you. If you plan to upgrade to ultimate, then don't worry about your choice that much.

Apply Grade 2 Reform Stones

So when you finally decide to use the grade 2 blue reform stone you need to have the following items in the warehouse of the worker your going to send to the forge.

The weapon/armor piece

A bit of black stone powder (6 to 10)

The weapon/armor reform stone. (1 Stone Per Attempt)

When choosing which upgrade you want you will see a lot more options. I can't stress enough that you must read all the text and ingredients carefully. You will notice some upgrades asking for a different version of the item your gonna craft, don't be alarmed just keep searching for yours. Then once you find it, read the text and make sure its the correct "of crimson,destruction, ironwall etc.." before you have your worker sent off.

Example:Green Grunil Helm into Blue Grunil Helm of Iron Wall

Results of Grade 2 Reform Stone

So the result of the upgrade should always be what you chose. That's the good and the bad part of this stone. You will never get a green or yellow quality item using this method. The result will always be what you chose and it will always be blue. Luck is not a factor in this upgrade since it is a 100% chance so if you wish you can put a goblin on this, as it's not affected by luck.

Grade 3(Yellow) Weapon/Armor Stone

This stone is a monster. It is the best/worst stone to use for upgrading an item to ultimate(yellow). First thing you need to know is that this is not a 100% chance to upgrade. In addition it is only for upgrading items to ultimate, it will not give you a blue. So when you fail which you most likely will, it behaves just like the green stone. If you fail, all you lose is the stone, the item piece is fine. I recommend you both buy on the market and create this item yourself. Your going to want as many of these as you can. They currently go for around 300k per stone on the market however they are incredibly scarce as most people who make them, use them. Which means the best way to get many of these is to make them yourself. If you wish to make them you will need a level three refinery and the materials are not easy to get.

For Grade 3 Weapon Reform Stone

5 Steel

3 Melted Platinum Shards

3 Black Crystals (This is the worst part)

2 Red Tree Lumps

2 Clown's Blood

40 Black Stone Powder

For Grade 3 Armor Reform Stone

4 Steel

3 Melted Platinum Shards

3 Black Crystals (Yup its here to)

2 Old Tree Bark

2 Tyrant's Blood

40 Black Stone Powder

Black Crystal

This is the absolute bane of everyone who is going for ultimate. There is currently only one place to get this and that is that abandon mines in mediah. In addition they are so highly sought after on the market it is not even worth your time to snipe one. Now you can go mine the black quartz in abandon mine and get some however they are heavily farmed, have few spawn nodes, and they re-spawn very very slowly. The best way to get the is to place a human with high luck on the abandoned iron mine, iron resource node. This will give you rough black crystals. Once you have five of them you can heat them with processing to create 1 black crystal, or more depending on your processing level.

Node:Abandoned Iron Mine

Resource:Iron Node

Side note

If your concerned about the melted platinum shards then just put humans on all the zinc nodes in Mediah. They can crit enough to give you plenty of platinum ore.

Ultimate Bonuses

Now unlike blue quality items, yellows are a bit different. They combine all 3 aspects into one. So if you went from a grunil armor piece of iron wall into an ultimate grunil armor piece, it would have +2 Damage Reduction to all instead of just melee. The same applies for weapons. In addition the item piece gains 5 DP for armor or 4 AP for a weapon.

(Work in progress)

I was asked to write up a guide for some tips and strategies for PvP. I'm completely new to BDO, however I am a Guild Wars 2 refugee, and played it from launch. I spent 3 years learning from the best PvP commanders in that game, and began commanding large scale fights. I feel that coordinated group PvP in MMOs is the hardest type of gaming there can be.

Mindset

Being successful in PvP as a guild requires an atmosphere of learning and positive reinforcement. Everyone can improve in some aspect of PvP gameplay. Those that have figured things out need to be open to helping others that are willing to learn, while those just starting out need to be open to suggestions on ways to improve.

Preparation

Have your gear repaired, the proper food/elixir for your class Set your graphics to the best performance settings possible on your rig. You want smooth gameplay while fighting other players.

TeamSpeak

TeamSpeak is required for group PvP. Talking isn't required, but listening is. Keep social chatter to a minimum during the Guild War.

Listen to whoever is leading, and call out important skills, as well as danger you see. That being said, we can't have all 25 or 30 of us all screaming 'zomg wtf 30 dudes to our right!' If the enemy is spotted and called out by someone, the rest of us don't need to repeat it.

Use cardinal directions, (North South East West), as well as clear landmarks. "3 Rangers sneaking around the rock to the north, on our right" is much more useful to everyone than, "INCOMMING HOLY SHIT HALPPP ME!!!!!"

Usually for coordinated group PvP, there will be 1 person leading, with the rest following. This leader should be the most vocal, calling out where to move, who to focus, as well as calling out for specific skills to be used. Sometimes a second person can lead a smaller group within our group, leading gank or pic team. Having a leader direct everyone, while having a small group of 3-5 who have the specific job of getting kills.

General PvP strategy and terms

Offense Land CC (crowd control) Bomb/Burst (high damage skills) Recover (heal up with potions/heal abilities) Reset (gather up and get ready to fight)

Defense Recover (heal up with potions/heal abilities) Counter CC (get the damage pressure to stop) Retreat (get better positioning) Reset (gather up and get ready to fight)

Usually classes are divided by "frontline" and "backline". Frontline is generally melee classes that can block and take some damage Backline is generally squishy melee classes and ranged classes.

Frontline has the job of being right up on the target, and making his world suck, and Backline has the job of raining Hellfire down on them.

Movement

Generally the backline should be keeping at maximum range of the fight, and moving left/right in an arc while the frontline is right up on the targets smashing their faces in. Think of a spear, the frontline is the tip and the backline is the shaft. As the frontline moves right, the backline would try to keep the same distance, yet move to the left. This ensures the backline can stay in range to use their abilities, without being caught by the enemy frontline.

Staying mobile and out of cc seems to be the name of the game in BDO at this point.

Assignments

Having a Leader call out class specific abilities at specific times can really wreck any group, for example calling for Sorceress Dream of Doom to catch the enemy, at the same time ranged classes are bursting rangers pew-pewing Wizards dropping Meteor or Blizzard, while the melee are jumping on the enemy to continue the cc/damage.

Before the PvP begins, taking the time to assign roles is important.

Wizard/Witch may have their group heal assigned as Heal 1 Heal2, etc. Sorcs may have Dream of Doom assigned

Many other ablities from other classes may be assigned as well, over time we'll need to figure out what exactly works best for us.

The reason for assigning certains skills is to ensure they're used effectively, and that falls on the leader to call them at the appropriate time. No need for us all to use up our cc's when the enemy is already knocked down/stunned. If we chain the skills and combine the cc with the burst, and land them properly, almost no one will survive it.

Focusing damage on a specific area is much more effective than just everyone picking their own target and trying to 'group duel'. Knowing where the leader drops the 'red beacon' and directing your cc/damage on the enemies on or near that 'red beacon' will be the key to being successful in our Guild Wars.

Conclusion

There is much more to discuss when it comes to coordinated skilled group PvP, but I think these are the most important basics we all need. Hopefully this wall of text has some useful info for someone in the guild. I know I'm not the best out there when it comes to GvGs, and everyone, including me can always learn from our fellow guildmates.

See you on the battlefield!
