Sadly, the arisen levels doesn't contribute much, it's the weapons that matter the most. closely followed by the vocation you are playing. armors isn't as important as weapon and/or vocation but still very important.

My advice: get the godsbane, and start looking for cursed weapons (BBI weapons lvl x), as top priorite, afterward look for cursed armor (BBI armor lvl x), just check on this wiki where to find the BBI cursed items and start farming them. gear and novelties can help too.

As for vocation, Assassin/Ranger/Strider/Sorcerer/MA have it easy, while MK requiere a lot of extra work (vs some foes), Fighter/warrior just forget it, if it's your first time at BBI.

With some knowledge of the area, and the right gears, you can clear BBI without much trouble at your level.
