Hello! This tip on growth in black desert comes from a player who was here at launch when having liverto at duo  was the best thing. Black desert is different from other MMO's. It's a lot of information and everybody has "the answer" to how to do certain things in the game. My tip that I want to leave for any newcomer is love the journey overall. And I'm not talking about the hours on hours of grinding. I love this game cause the growth comes from blood, sweat and sometimes tears. On top of that you gotta keep a good head on your shoulders otherwise you can easily reset that growth. 
Take this as a sign to kick your adventure into high gear!
