Blade and Soul Dailes Guide

Thursday, February 11th, 2016

Did you know that as of Feb 9, 2016, you can get about 13 GOLD every day just from running a few daily quests in Blade and Soul?

What is a daily quest? Its a repeatable quest that you can only do once a day. To run the entire list, it takes about 45 minutes. I have included the best way to run the route, and a spreadsheet of the ones that provide the most gold as a reward.

If it seems overwhelming, you might consider getting a Blade and Soul Bot to help you out.

As more and more people are reaching level cap, the amount of daily activities in B&S can be a bit overwhelming at first.

1 – Do OPVP dailies (red ones) in Misty Woods – you need to be at least rank Private with the faction to accept those dailies, if you are not yet do the faction dailies in the desert (Scorching sands)
ETA : 20-30 mins (depending if other faction players are camping the zone)
Rewards : Soul shards, Faction insignas
2 – Do the 4 blue dungeons once : Skittering Tunnels, Brightstone Ruins, Hall of Ogong, The Pigsty. Accept the daily quest of each in the lobby if you are using cross-server party matching.
ETA : 30-45 mins (good luck if your group doesn’t know how to do the Pigsty boss)
Rewards : Fodder materials for weapon/accessories, soul shields, moonwater valor stone, keys, crafting materials (moonwater tear)
3 – Run Tomb of the Exiles for Infernal lord horn (upgrade material). Accept the daily quest for it.
ETA : 10-15 mins if you’re lvl 45 and can carry your party
Rewards : Infernal lord horn, costume piece (if you’re lucky/rich)
4 – Do Arena dailies.
ETA : 15-25 mins depending on how long your 3v3 matches last
Rewards : Moonwater treasure chests
5 – Run Blackram supply chain. Accept daily quest. You will most likely have to use F7 to party find as you need a high grade weapon to enter through F8.
ETA: 20-45 mins (depending on how experienced your group is and if you’re skipping trash)
Rewards: Blackram supply soul shield, belt, upgrade accessories, Siren emblem
Next to that you can also help your clan with Blackwyrm, upgrade your crafts, farm costumes, swear at your screen because you did Shadowstrike for the billionth time and have yet to see the costume drop, level alts, or just have fun in arena!
That should keep you occupied for a bit every day – enjoy!

Here is short example:

Blade and Soul Bot for leveling and gold farming

Wednesday, January 27th, 2016

So what exactly is it you ask? Well, the mmoviper team has created a program that will interface with the Blade and Soul game and automate some of the game play for you. It includes options for things like what spells to cast, where to grind, and how much loot you want to collect. It does have a learning curve, but they have a dedicated team that will assist you with guides, and videos showing you step by step exactly how to set it up and get your BSN bot up and running within about 10 minutes.

Most of the setup is already done for you, fortunately. When you run it for the first time, it configures the keys used to be the defaults that the game uses. If you change your keybindings, do not fret, there are options in the viper configuration setup to allow for custom key mappings.

Next, you will setup your hotkeys. This is what viper calls its rotation system. So, if you are a Force Master, and you want to use your Left Mouse button to attack, it is as simple as telling that bot, press that key, hold it down for x number of milliseconds, and then wait y before casting it again. You can also specify the priority of the hotkey so that you can have healing spells be top priority and get cast first to ensure that your bot stays alive. Need special AOE spells when being attacked by many mobs at once? No problem, there is a multi-mob setup just for that. Buffs, potions, spells, all configurable.

Ok, but what if you die? The bot will try to first get out of the radius of the nearby attacking mobs to safey. Then it will attempt to resurrect itself. If successful, the bot will resume grinding like nothing happened. If it fails, and you still get killed, the bot will press 4, resurrect, and then go back to where it was and try again.

Finally, record where and what you want to grind on. Its as simple as pressing auto record, and running a path in the area you are wanting to hunt in. Then save.

Finally, you are ready to press start. It will ask you which patrol area you want to hunt in. Select the one you just made, and star the bot. Sit back and watch it go, or leave and enjoy some time outside. When you come back your bags will be filled with treasures, and hopefully a few levels higher.

If you get worried about people watching you, there are options to stop fighting when people are nearby, or to just avoid mobs near other players. The idea here is to not make your self a target to be observed and noticed. The bot tries to act as human as possible, but sometimes you need to help it out as much as you can. Try not to bot 24 hours a day, and definitely

not in congested areas.

 

So to sum up:

Blade and Soul Crafting and Harvesting Guide

Blade And Soul Crafting basics

After you reach level  11, you can sign 2 contracts with crafting guilds and 2 with gathering guilds. In Blade & Soul you do not craft items yourself – you place orders with your crafting guild and wait for them to complete your item (aka. pay the NPC a small amount of money to do the job for you). After a small amount of time the order will be done, the item will be delivered and you will get experience (trust) with that specific guild. Of course you are free to leave crafting/gathering guilds at any time and switch to another one but remember that you will lose all experience you gained with them so far.

It might be a bit confusing at first so it’s better to take a look into all 14 guilds beforehand and plan what you want to level as all of them have different connections and requirements.

There are 7 crafting guilds (names may vary depending on patch/translation you play on):

  • Blacksmith (Weaponsmith) – weapons, repair hammers etc;
  • Alchemist (Grand Medicine Institution) – elixirs, potions, antidotes;
  • Priests (BoPae) – tables (BoPae), evolution stones;
  • Local Flavor (Cooking) – food (healing/boosting stats and so on);
  • Potters – bottles, containers, mining picks, refined materials;
  • Jewellers – accessories, gems, keys to chests;
  • Astrologers (Monarch Church) – escape talismans, unsealing talismans, revival talismans;

To make it easier later on – here you have all the symbols for crafting guilds:

And 7 gathering guilds (names may vary depending on patch/translation you play on):

  • Farmers (Harvest)
  • Woodcutters (Lumbermill)
  • Fishermen
  • Hunters
  • Herbalists (Medicinal)
  • Miners (Geology)
  • Organshchiki (Masonry)

To make it easier later on – here you have all the symbols for gathering guilds:

MMO B&S, Blade And Soul crafting guide

Each crafting guild is connected to 2 gathering guilds – you will be using their resources to craft. Of course you are always free to pick what you want and buy materials from Auction House but it’s easier and cheaper to craft them yourself.

Here is a simplified picture showing which crafting guild requires items from which gathering guild:

Leveling crafts

You can level your crafts by simply ordering guilds to produce materials for you all the time. It takes time and money but is really worth it as on higher levels you automatically unlock new designs for items. It works a bit different with guilds of gatherers – you unlock new gatherable resources by finding their samples all over the world. Locations of all of them will be in a separate article.

Crafting design MMO B&S

After placing your craft a small icon will appear on bottom of your screen and when you hover over it a tiny craft window will pop up showing the status of your current crafts. From there on you can simply gather goods and repeat the same orders.

Craft order B&S

Keep in mind that higher level crafts require rarer ingredients and craftable items made by other guilds.

Leaving a crafting or gathering guild

If you want to leave a guild you can do it by simply right-clicking the guild logo in the Crafting Tab (L) and choosing the “Leave Guild” option.
