c. LIGHTSTONE and LIGHTSTONE FRAGMENTS

Lightstone itself plays a big role on your Adventure. On NEW adventurer I would Highly suggest to FOCUS MORE on Dark ENergy EXP, Enhancement Cost, Crystal Fusion Success rate THAN THE CP itself... so having a RED LIGHTSTONE with max of those NON CP bonuses would actually REWARD YOU MORE as you are a new adventurer. Simply because sacrificing 40 - 50 cp is nothing compare to getting BETTER CRYSTAL more often, leveling up your BLACK SPIRIT FASTER which gives you CP as well, and CHEAPER upgrades. you can focus on that PERFECT STATS CP later on the game once you found your self sitting already on the average CP. but for now, STICK TO THOSE NON CP Attributes and IT WILL REWARD you BIGTIME.

Lightstone Fragments is always a must grab for NEW and Seasoned players as it is VERY NEEDED to produce Vial of Light for better EXP on farming and better loots also the given fact more lightstone fragments means more chances of STABILIZING your CP and GETTING those PERFECT STATS lightstones. So whether it is event, merchantry, field lots or whatever. If you can get your hands on some Lighstone Fragments? It is a No-brainer... JUST GRAB THEM!

d. NPC Amity Not only because some NPC gives Black Pearl as a reward for their amity filled, amity is also needed for merchantry as maxing their Amity also gives you the ability to add more rappor points if that NPC is included on your merchantry route. To easily max EVERY AMITY  FAST, EFFICIENT and NO STAMINA usage... and reason why it is found below my keypoints is that,  You need to wait till you can farm on Chaos MAPS.  These maps gives you a certain loot named CHAOS LOOT CHEST, this contains a lot of important stuffs but also GIFTS for NPC to increase and max their Amity faster that it was before. Doing this will save you a lot of stamina which is a very important part of BDM. 

e. Upgrading your gears on a THRIFT yet SMART way I have so many alt characters that was fully geared for various reasons and contents.  I managed to make a Thrifty way to make it easy and cheap yet still very rewarding. Gearing up alts is almost similar to gearing up a newly created character so I believe this would make new adventurers life easier.

Upgrading 0 - +40  = simply go on AUTO then put +40 on max and 67% on success rate. This is the sweet spot I found that only consumes less stones yet fastest +40 route just use fair stone , good stone, grand stones ...( dont use the REFINED black crystals yet as you need them for Awakening upgrade )

Awakening Upgrade = if you are still on RED gears or even pink, it is already enough to settle on a TRI set ( or TET if you just want it ) . But TRI set of a RED gear already enough actually for a new adventurer. Plus TRI set is Easy to make even without Restoration scrolls and Advice of Valks saving them for Higher future gear upgrades. Cheaper yet rewarding

Awakening Enchantments = Settle on any stats above +15 and stop, dont waste those Magical Resue since from RED gear, those will be reverted and Gone if you upgrade RED to PINK gears and even PINK to CHAOS gears... so settle on anything +15 on awakening enchantments and stop, as for normal enchantments, any CP stats will do regardless and focus more on 2% branch damage you are aiming or just 1.5% they dont matter in early game especially when you are still on red gears.

f. HOARDING ITEMS !!! Even US Seasoned players do this hahaha, not only it gives us better opportunity on future patches but also ensuring CP gains than CP loss, These are the notable items worth hoarding ever since (NOT ALL , but these are the stuffs always comes 1st in my mind when it comes to hoarding)

1. Boss Rush stamps

2. Advice of Valks

3. Restorations scrolls / Shakatu Exchange Certificates

4. Dark Coins

5. Adventure Tokens for Constellations

6. Hadum tokens for GenoBABY

7. Orange Treasure chest from Merchantry ( because hoarding this til it reaches 400 - 500 pcs then appraising them all at once gives a lot of BP than appraising them in small quantities)

8. Inscribed Glyphs and Ancient Glyphs ( same goes with the orange treasure chest from merchantry, this proves more RNG if you appraise them in bulk rather in few pieces based on our experience )

Special Mention:  ACORNS from the event !!!!
