The Magnus is a long questline but relatively easy to complete as well. Moreover, beginners will find this questline useful as they can learn and unlock tons of features including fast travel and global storage. You also get a valuable armor set called PEN (V) boss armor that is shared among all your characters.

You will be taken to a realm outside of the Black Desert world which you can access by falling through a well. This questline comprises several challenges set in parallel worlds called Abyssal Pockets.

To begin, you need to complete at least one of the following quests: [Balenos] Farewell, Grusha, Embarking on an Adventure, or Big Fish in a Small Pond.

One of the main regions in Black Desert Online is Mediah. While the questline requires a level of at least 51, it's fairly easy to complete. However, like any other quest in the game, you will find this rather long.

After reaching Level 51, you will receive the Breaking New Ground Quest in your quest log. You can visit the Black Spirit afterward to accept the Black Spirit's quest. This grants you the quest Mediah: The Mercenary's Experience, which is the starting point of the quest line.

Expect to be immersed in the rich lore of Mediah and introduced to various NPCs. Make sure to be equipped with decent gear travel and a horse to travel across the territory effectively.


3) Balenos
