How many Tet acc or PEN clothing?
TET Manos set, TET Manos Cooking Clothes. Might get PEN Cooking Clothes soon. Would be pretty useful.
As the other anon said, I think the traffic to this board is much lower. As someone who frequents /keng/, a traditionally slow thread in a sea of gacha and other trendy genres, MMOs (XIV, WoW, etc all move), it's simply to be expected to need a few dedicated bumpers.
It's the nature of the site and board culture. Generals live and die off their regular posters weighed against the fluctuating post rate of the board. Believe me, BDO is plenty popular enough to sustain itself so long as a few anons realize it's a war of attrition to keep a thread alive at times.
Well, you can always try keeping the thread alive by bumping with something about P2W enhancement system, T9 and T10 horse awakening being a shitty parasitic system, BDO being a PvP game, cooking being gatekept by autistic spreadsheeters, the game being dead or how it's just morons running around in circles.
This asinine shit barely deserves the response I'll give it. A notable percentage of the threads you're comparing that jaded vitriol to is a bunch of PNG saving waifu worshipers and utter shitposting spam in places like /gsg/ or like how DwarfFort general became so derailed it finally slid off permanently. If there's a community and a willingness, a thread can survive. Merely because this specific game bothers you doesn't mean the rest of the board isn't polluted with garbage of a similar shape and smell.
We're past the point of staying in /vg/ when all the waifus are gone.
wheres my wife fookies?
Not related. My main class is Valkyrie with her default appearance. I like how the class plays and I don't care much about customization, but i admit her default appearance has grown on me.
I wonder how horse guardian lady is doing these days
Glad that thing's gone.
damn I forgot about that israeliteess
>65
Can I ask a few questions about the game?
I'm not interested in RNG enhancing, so what items are safe to sell?
Are any yellow accessories (like ones from Dark rift boss boxes) worth using or keeping? Or do I just sell them and aim for whatever's "good" and enhanced enough?
I wonder if PA will finally make all of the grind spots instanced now with the new difficulty system. Either way being able to grind at more spots will be a welcome change.
Did you create a season character? They give you a full set of good starting gear. You will need to enhance a bit but it's very much worth it compared to getting gear the pre-season way. If you really don't want to create a season character then prepare to suffer quite a lot.
Sell the accessories, keep the black stones, hard/sharp black crystals, caphras, memory fragments and cron stones for later you will need most of them for quests where you get PEN gear without enhancing. Use this code in redeem code for 1000 crons SUPE-RADV-ENTU-RERS
Thanks.
Huh, so you still need even the basic black stones?
The basic ones are used for a variety of different things outside of enhancing and since it sounds like you recently started it's best to just hang on to them for now.
>it sounds like you recently started it's best to just hang on to them for now.
Well, I'm in this weird spot where I have several characters graduated from previous seasons. But I never really got them further than PRI or DUO Tuvala.
I read a lot of guides back then, but shit keeps changing so often, and with the amount of hidden information the game has I don't think I'll ever grasp everything it has to offer.
I guess I also missed the quest to exchange Tuvala gear for boss gear last time? I watched several guides on how to exchange it but I'm not getting the option from the same NPCs.
I realize that nowadays the fastest way to get any character stronger is to start a new seasonal character. But it's not like I'm going to play the seasonal forever,
I just want to invest more into characters I created and leveled before. That's why I'm looking for ways to do so.
Seasons mostly stay the same you get naru to pen, exchange to pri tuvala, enhance tuvala and get to level 60 to complete the pass. They've reduced the weekly enhance mats quest down to 500 instead of 5000 now too so it's really easy to get full PEN if you want to you even get 2 free PEN enhances from the pass 1 each for tuvala gear and accessories.
Since the best you have is PRI or DUO tuvala the easiest way to get more stats is still to create a new season character and focusing on at least one or two PEN weapon/armor, after the season is over you can exchange the weapons for the class you want to play as then start focusing on the guaranteed TET to PEN quests from Jetina.
>Tuvala gear for boss gear
You get 1 "boss gear exchange coupon" every season when graduating, use the search function in a storage to see if you have any.
Can you transfer and use all the gear between characters freely, by the way?
Unless it's a class specific weapon/sub weapon of course.
In general, yes. Apart from season and non-season one.
In my opinion you should only enhance season gear if you want minimal fustration. It shouldn't be too hard even for a newbie to eventually get full pen tuvala. After that you don't really have to touch it ever again if you don't want to. Just save up and dump caphras into gear. The last time I enhanced my own pen was 4 years ago and it was only because I got lucky. Everything else I've been patient and purchased from the marketplace.
>I wonder if PA will finally make all of the grind spots instanced now
Hmm I'm not so sure, but I hope that means we can go back to mediah grind spots for a change.
>After that you don't really have to touch it ever again if you don't want to.
Huh, I see, thanks.

Those are some pretty nice qol for t10 will actually try getting one now that it's got failstacks.

One of my friends is having problems with randomly disconnecting in this game for like 10-20 seconds every couple hours or so, it literally gets him killed in high level grind zones. It's literally only this game he has these problems in his modem doesn't DC and he can use everyone else just fine. Does anyone here have any experience with trying to fix this kind of shit?
Adding t10 failstacks should have come sooner but frick it at least we get a free t9 to choose (or t10 mats)
SOUTH MEDIAH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
bdo is finally leaving early access bros we made it, sunk cost fallacy paid off :')
qrd? Last I played caphras stones came out and you could buy them with $ so it essentially doubled the P2W, then "bis" gear got replaced by new bis, yet again, cementing the infinite grind and catchup game so I kinda gave up because if you don't spend $ you'll always get 1 shot by whales in grinding zones.
Can non whales btfo whales now?
Being a whale is basically become a
>dude, seriously?
PA throws enough free stuff at us, the content keeps coming and being made more accessible, it's just not in the state of being it used to be. The game is clearly a cash cow and the stratification that once existed is noticeably lessening over time. Some may disagree, but the only barrier to entry is a fair bit of time spent going through the accelerated catch-up motions and buying the often touted necessary pearl items (the tent comes to mind). Beyond that, everyone's starting to hit a stride where it's just not possible to get insanely far ahead. Bit by bit, yes, though it's not through P2W (alone), it's mostly persistence.
>caphras stones came out and you could buy them with $
you were never able to buy caphras with irl money. it's weird the kinds of foggy memories people have of the game that are completely untrue

Titty Seamonster
Everything shown was good but where is the lewd stuff?

The T10 treasure item is a pretty good design. I'm kind of impressed. The problem previously with T10 was the opportuinity cost of having to only use one and having to swap them at the stable, so you generally would just want to probably stick to Arduanatt, but with the treasure item you can just swap the horses for niche uses. It also gives a justification to collecting all 3 T10's, which in turn also increases demand for the ever-increasing amount of T9's. Might not play out that great in reality and it might need some adjustments, but the concept behind it is solid.
Can you use the free dream horse to breed a t10?
Unless the translation got mangled they won't be registerable at the marketplace, but can be upgraded. Kind of like Jetina Boss gear.

>all this good news
wtf I didn't know PA was based
I hope you guys didn't toss your free dream horse out thinking it was another useless orange item like the crown
How do I use it now?
You don't.
Now they only need to give out a 1 man ship, or at least make grind for it less autistic. It is pretty much required for any fricking sea content and gated behind like 3-6 months worth of deliberate grind.
Shouldn't Galleass/Caravel be enoughfor most stuff?
Well yeah but you can reliable get only sailboat/frigate from shining seals, and need to grind for caravel/galleass raw, which is really fricking obnoxious.
They aren't all that hard to get. The first one is fairly easy with the bonus mats from quests, can get it in like a week? The timegating is kind of annoying, but I think that you can even get the mats from marketplace nowadays, well, it's been a while since I've done it.
You can go from 0 boats to green geared Carrack in a month if you actually try. Being a neet helps might not be doable if you're a wageslave unless the last qol update changed things.
The very first Galleass/Caravel are easy to get you get half the materials from a questline which takes 4 days.
However if you're only interested in the controllable cannons buy a Frigate from the marketplace/seals then make it into an Improved Frigate, you only need to barter a bit for the enhancing materials the rest can be bought from the marketplace. No grind involved and it will not take several months, if the materials are in stock you could have it done in a day.
Which t10 horses are the best? The doom one actually seems quite underwhelming with an useless fluff skill.
Southern Mediah is hueg. They get their indulgent content overwrite of Margoria out of the way and do so by adding a decent set of bosses. Ok. The fact they got back to the story and aesthetic I've enjoyed most (given the game's title...), this is long overdue but quite welcome.
Story progression probably doesn't matter to most people, though it seems like they're still able to make good use of the the worldbuilding they've done. Hope the new spots turns out decent.
Just popped a PEN BS with the J hammer, should I sell and rebuy TET and use the rest to upgrade other parts of my build? I'm running awakening so it doesn't seem like I'll feel the bump in AP that much compared to adding something like 2x tet distos or something.
>no lewd pictures in the thread when the game is perfect for it
the frick?
Coomposting is what killed the old general
No, NEVER sell a pen bs. That's one slot you never have to worry about again.
When you get 2 months into bartering or anything sea related you quickly realize a caravel or galleass isn't enough. Carrack or bust.
>bartering
Yes, I can see perfectly and that seems like the obvious reason to go for it, but what else in the sea that's asking for Carrack is there?
Currently nothing besides sailing to vell 5 min faster, node wars on the coastline, griefing, khan, etc. They are apparently expanding sea content so we'll see. Not sure why you'd want anything more than the cog if you aren't gonna barter or boat pvp. The cogs are fast if you just wanna travel
NTA.
Let's suppose I only want two things out of the sea:
>Elixir of Deep Sea ingredients, i.e. underwater gathering
>Blue Whale Oil, for...reasons.
Is a cog sufficient? Do I need a group for the whale stuff? Chronically on my own and have essentially pretended sea content is not there until I realized I need things. Not industrial quantities, just personal use purposes.
>elixir of deep blue sea
Just need a swimming costume/suit and gathering mastery. Cog is perfect for this.
>whale hunting
It's a group activity, so you don't even need your own boat for this.
Good to hear, at least the first part. Thanks.
Which class/classes is/feels more like the main character?
Sage lore wise
I'll be honest. I can't see sage getting tricked by illerza...
Sage and sorcerer.
Sage/Nova and of course the poster girl/guy Dark Knight and Warrior.
>Nova
I liked Nova's lore and plot twist but she's weird.
I'm not sure if the Nova we play as ends up "evil" and starts following the ambitions left by her fake memories that other homunculi had.
Or is she just blindly following the black spirit because whatever?
I feel any original classes can be considered main characters. Certain characters are like specific individuals that makes more sense for them to be more like powerful people you'd meet on your journey rather than you being them.
They made it so you can't snipe orders by outbidding during the last few seconds before the item is registered that's really fricking gay I loved doing that
Did they really push Bartering as the solution to the Garmoth Heart problem?
so what did the Heidel Ball announce for new players? Anything really interesting? Group content that isnt pvp?
Not really much except for convenience stuff like inf potion change. Free Peggy will be awesome for new players. New group content for them to look forward to while they chew on upper gyfin. The new 300v300 will probably include lifeskillers or non-combatants in some way, considering there will be naval combat and possibly a crew necessary for that.
free T9, bugfixes, new boss, and Awakening Maegu
>new 300v300 looks really fun
>will only happen twice a week
>will be random who gets in
Barely anyone pvps anyway. If you actively pvp you shouldn't have a problem
don't really know shit about bdo, is this a good game for crafting/gathering autism?
There's an entire lifeskill built around gathering from plants/rocks/animals etc but it's gated by an energy system that can make it challenging to do for long periods of time until you get a sizable energy capacity.
So what's the verdict on Black Shrine rewards in relation to speedrun records? Does it mean jack shit if you're top 1/5/20 for a given calamity or is it better to just aim to clear the highest you can on as many bosses as possible?
Do you guys think they'll ever add non high heels armor for female characters? I wouldn't mind if the classes weren't gender locked but the one i like is female.
No.
This is why I buy canape boots on every female character I have
I hope that add full bodysuit underwear
Are outfits you get from promo code boxes time limited or permanent?
permanent but remember that outfits are tied to class and after equipped bound to character
I wish they dialed back a little on that shit, make outfits family bound and don't hard lock generic ones to a class, but that's asking too much out of korea.
Thanks.
Yeah I'm aware of that, it's good they at least give the name of the outfit each box has.
I really like Sin Terrna outfit for DK but it's not available in recent boxes unfortunately.
I guess I'll settle for something else that makes me coom.
im new to the game, is there a thing i can join to meet fellow anons?
What accessories do I aim for in the endgame for PvE?
Or does every class need something specific?
Depends, really. Probably Debos, unless going for some DR/Eva maxing.
Personally, as someone who's climbing out of a two year gap, Debos are not really in the discussion. If anything, until the content gets implemented which makes them reasonably obtainable for most late-game players, they might as well not exist at all to a mid-tier player. Can't be pre-ordered, the drop locations are stat gated and obviously a target of endgame grinders. Realistically speaking they're the absolute last pieces of gear you should be picking up. Given the current difficulty of acquisition - it's better to wait until they spread the drop rates out across the new content (as they mentioned they will with the reworked spots and lantern).
Plainly speaking, hundreds of billions of silver is not a lot to a terminally endgame BDO player, but Debos are still seriously out of reach for anyone not at a post-endgame content state of being.
Don't forget that most people that enchant Debros are doing HEAVY p2w as it will cost you otherwise countless of silver in crons to enchant them
Is this a fricking joke?
Is the pillar meant to be floating?
It doesn't look like that in the guide.
Do you usually use succession skills in awakening and vice versa?
Most class videos I see mostly focus on pure awakening/succession skills, but maybe there are some exceptions?
Cannot speak for other classes, though Awakening Ranger basically demands weaving between your bow and daggers. Lots of mobility is tied to the bow and many awakening skills have outputs that resolve to shotgun or an air combo. It's possible to not use your bow for an extended combo but it's still a necessary part of the toolkit.
Huh, I see.
I remember playing Ranger for a bit, and found it weird that her basic awakening skills give her ranged damage buff.
Shotgun (Spacebar spam) is the most common connector skill that a Ranger uses. It's not only relatively easy to execute, it's even good in the Awakened form. Displacement, connects to itself or through other simple weaves (Blasting Gust, Q) and most importantly is the best skill to use as a means of practicing weapon swapping because it has so little downside and so much found upside.
Ranger is a ranged class. Awakening could be seen as the complete version of the class because it gives you plenty of reason and ability to not lean entirely on your ranged deadzone. Succession does that and is even more shotgun spam. I find it boring since it offends in the way your original post accuses the build of being. Straightforward. Awakening can be too since Ranged is a bit cooke-cutter in execution. Though again, weapon swapping adds quite a lot of dynamic to the class. It's probably why certain people, like myself, have mained the class since I picked it up years ago. Nothing else feels quite right or does what it does.
Awk ranger is barely a ranged class.
Yes, because the tools it's provided allow a Ranger to basically sit in melee. That's sort of what occurs, Awakening skills are so good that (an important) half the class is set aside and ignored. I won't accuse you of playing less optimally, but I have a feeling that's because Waltz spam feels so good in practice.
Awk ranger only uses pre for catches and iframe, it's always been like this. Idk what waltz spam achieves unless you're talking about pve.
Thanks for explaining.
I guess I mostly played classes that don't rely on using their the other advancement.
Still I find it weird that succession and the original skill tree have so many skills and additional branches even if you end up with an awakening that doesn't use them.
Dealing damage in a narrow straight line always feels weird in a game where most other characters mainly strike in circles and cones/shotguns.
Some classes have full damage combos utilizing their preawakening, others use it only for utility, some don't touch it at all.
I just started playing again but as a zerker I'd always be weaving between the two even in PVE and I still knew an entire preawakening chain. As my witch alt I think I mostly stayed in awakening except to sometimes chuck a fireball and iirc maybe use one of the buffs, but that stuff I'd usually just bind to a quickslot.
There's no way to revert the item back? I haven't played in a long time and now I have lots of crons that I would like to use.
no you're stuck with it. save crons for pen blackstar attempts on any other gear it's a huge waste that you will regret later.
Died four times to calamity 1 Duoksini in my first attempt to beat him. The fight was fun but it still can be frustrating when damage or cc gets applied after a slight delay where you think you dodged the ability
Are the dev emails available to the public? I want to send a message horrible enough to make whoever created this dogshit magnus quest never leave their homes out of fear.
I should pick PEN Urugons right?

Holy shit this game is bad, glad I got it for free
based, and you didnt even got to the bad part yet
how could it get worse than lifeskills being a glorified bitcoin miner? i don't know if i even want to know actually
Yeah, imagine that but you need to press R every 2 seconds while it crashes on every loading screen if you go too fast, it randomly glitches and you need to restart.
For 5 hours or so.
Welcome to the Magnus questline! Made with love by the asiatic nepotism hires!
Magnus Quest Line feels like someone decided to make a quest chain out of the enhancement system.
lost
that's also the new asiatic region, my UI+controls would get locked up going in and out of the snoy-tier cinematic sections
Yep, happened to me and other players in chat as well. One time I just thought I had to disconnect and come back, which worked, but broke my quest so I had to forfeit it and redo it. Another time the solution was literally get up, walk away for a couple mins, come back and then I could press F on stuff again. Someone also said change server works but I got out of there before it happened again
I had to literally just power through the region through the shitty crashes so I could do all the quests, I could not wait to leave after the first tale. The entire region is a slog and i have zero interest in the bosses. Also Korean mythology suuuuucks
Eh, its the game design that sucks. We all want to just get our season gear and start grinding at 56 or whatever. But were forced to play the dumb tutorial.
I did kinda chuckle that we had the option to kill the paranormal entity or help the spirit for every tale. Oh, this banshee's life was so unfair she lost her husband and now mistakes random men for her husband before tearing their face off. Yeah, get in the magic casket b***h I am ending you in battle.
The turtle californian surfers are cool too.
I'd rather have it be like ok heres your starter gear, you're level 50, kill 1000 mobs and try not to die, learn your pre awakening combos, cya.
I despised the turtles and all the english voice acting to the point it make me switch to Jap VA (back to English when I left) but I can see how others would find it to be cringe kino
All my seasons get to 60/61 in like a day since I have a friend we can boost each other with, and with simplified questline all you have to do is kill some monsters and hit 56 in 1-2 hours. It's not a HUGE time commitment but your idea of starting at 50 would be a welcome change for veterans, simplified just isn't good enough
The second I got into that dogshit "stealth" mission early on that kept clipping me and sending me backwards for no fricking reason I literally just alt f4d, took a break for a week then deleted the character.
Not playing that shit unless it gives me another PEN, the Magnus memories are still way too painful.
Why cant this dogshit asiatic grinder give me fricking asiatic grinder quests instead of holding me hostage to tell the unskippable story made by a fricking moronic women who got hired because she has fat breasts and sucks off the higher ups?
I wonder why they didnt copy D4 PvP zone?
>add a place with frickton of mobs
>random boss that pop based on the number of players in the zone
>The king fricker get a huge ass target on his face but if he survives 5 mins he gets huge rewards
Or if they wanna tone down the Open World PvPenis copy the fricking PoE map system I bet if they add some weird shit in Magnus where you go for a hour in a random zone with randomized mobs,champions and a boss at the end where you can choose the AP DP difficulty, people would become crack addicts to this shit.
We had shadow arena, not quite the same but it was enough.
>shadow arena
Why did they remove this? Making it into a separate game instead of keeping it as permanent content was moronic. I never got to try it since I didn't play during that time but it sounded fun.
I also miss the tower defense savage rifts they were really chill.
Cited reason is it was used to pump shitloads of currency into the game by bots, which i can believe as it was really fricking easy to just afk through in some bush and get a relatively high place with decent payout.
It was teleporting instakill hackers flooding the game. Funny thing is that there were only so many because bdo was giving the game out for free at the time so their idea was to delete the mode instead of stopping the free deal. Shame cuz it was super fun to kill time with. They could have made it seasonal like AoS to prevent people from getting bored too quickly. It was also poorly balanced iirc musa and warrior were op as frick.
It was good but for me it was a fun casual minigame. My guild leader loved it though, he played it all the time when it was available. But I think because of the wider appeal of pubg style games people got bored of those mechanics in general.
Now thats some autism.
personally I wouldn't mind maps in this game, the combat would work really well with it and it'd give us a reason to maybe do coop.
Done with cooking for some time.
We both know that's a lie. They all say they can control their urge to COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK. Obviously, that's a lie. You'll be back. You can't stay out of that kitchen even if you wanted to.
There are females goblins... I never noticed...
It's just male goblins wearing drag, don't be fooled.
Am I right to assume that skill points are an obsolete system in BDO now?
I remember you could run out of them, but now the game might as well distribute them automatically.
Nowadays you can easily max all the skills, it's more about min-maxing the weight bonus.
You easily max out the weight bonus as well
Ya pretty much. The max sp you used to need for many classes was anywhere from 2k to nearly 3k, used to take forever and polly forest was THE timesink. Nowadays new characters have all of their skills maxed with 1k sp at lv60-61. Kinda makes me wish they would rework the SP grind spots into something else.
With the advent of the infinite potions being opened up to marketplace registration, a generalized push towards 700+ GS for all further content, focus upon exploring various grinding & grouping styles (solo via lantern, new spots / revamps appear to focus on increased density). This all seems to imply that the early game is becoming nothing more than what the Seasonal servers make it out to be: quick, open yet linear in direction, ultimately unimportant once completed.
In some sense the leveling process is no different than skill EXP. Achieving the new baseline of 62+ is simply how things work nowadays. Having essentially capped skill points by then is also just a part of the process. It servers no role, no purpose, advances nothing other than a tack on weight stat. If the leveling process was handed Season servers to reward for putting in the time and effort, then the skill EXP mechanic might as well also be explored to derive some new usefulness out of its entirely obsolete state of being.
Here's some thoughts off the cuff:
>Skill EXP (the majority) from mobs instead is turned into a drop with varied choices. You may max your skills quickly or take that originally intended EXP resource and allocate it elsewhere. This is only a stopgap until maxed, technically speaking.
>Skill EXP zones could have the aspect turned on and off for the sake of an alternate desirable buff. This could be coupled with an upfront energy or silver cost to convert the zone to the desired grinding format (No Skill EXP, 10% Increased Drop Amount, 50 Energy for one hour, just placeholders).
>Skill EXP, once capped, like the first idea will cause monsters to drop items (this could be a toggle in the interface...?) that can activate temporary buffs, be turned in for small rewards, contribute towards some larger item / consumable / treasure, whatever works.
Essentially take a system that stops working right as you truly begin to play the game and turn it into a zone customizer.
Right so im at that point on my season char where I got my awakening and its leveling time. Farmed titium valley, bashims, cadry, tried warugons (still sucks). Noticed each zone has 2 layers of popup quests for 'kill mobs' and get time gated black stones / gear / other tuvala upgrade mats. Noticed the Cadry node manager had a weekly that gave a bunch of tuvala ore, did that ontop of the popup quests. Went to see if bashims or wauregons had a quest at any NPCs but they didnt. Did anyone find others?
Pretty sure those seasonal weeklies are one/week, you took the one from Cadry so now you can't do Bashim/Waregon/etc.
oh i see ty
You can see them all under the weekly tab in your quest log, might not be there now since you completed one but there's also a weekly season quest from Fughar that gives some dream horse materials and lifeskill buffs.
Any lore gays that actually read quests can tell me what happened to yeonhwa and how did she dies in the valencia ruin?
she didnt die bruv
Her shadow got out of magnus but her original self died iirc
this is what I vaguely remember as well.
I don't care I only press R
She was possessed by the fox spirit like the evil woman IRL
Can any prolific dyers share some colour theory/guides on decent colour groupings?
I like the change to blue/silver here but not happy with how two-tone it is, also I don't like the fur colour even thought it matches my character's hair/burned arm
Anyone got the pumpkin outfit dress? I'm wondering how well it dyes
Does the dialogue with Guardian of Edana changes if you're Sage or are you still his descendant? Talking near ending of questline of "Eastern Sands Kingdom Story"
It changes. Same with Land of the morning light story for Woosa and Maegu vs all others classes.
Which class will they add next?
Monke
The new zone called city of the dead and the rumors about a necromancer class hopefully means we'll get necromancer this winter.
This however is pure cope on my part and realistically it will be the gay homosexual monkey
Which class you guys can't quit playing? Even if you try you just go back to it.
Witch due to sunken cost
>she got 4 orbs
Valk ascension, DK awakening, Sorc awakening or Lahn ascension for a new season char? Can't decide and those are the only i am really interested in.
The frick is ascension?
roll a dice
he's obviously talking about succ
I take it by ascension you mean succession.
-Valk succ has no easy grind capabilities like her awakening and learning to pvp on succ in season is a nightmare because everyone and their mother play the main class they know for the 8th season in a row, and you'll most likely get curbstomped before you learn anything, and also at this point there's nobody around, we're getting graduation soon. Wouldn't recomment.
-DK awa is alright, you won't be making big money at places like centaurs but it's not hard to learn, it's good at everything but doesn't relly excel at anything either, not because she's bad but because she get outshined by other classes.
-Sorc awa lol, lmao. play it if you are a moronic homosexual and then come to the realization that literally every other class is better than sorc with the exception of maybe shai, maybe. The "good" sorcs you see around have been playing every single day for 9 years and have 600-1000 bil worth of gear, full PEN accuracy accessories too. Then you compare them to a nova that has been playing for 6 months and they get BTFO despite having more gear.
-Lahn succ, like DK, is alright. You won't be doing much pvp in succ but you at least have the option to switch to awa if you feel like it. Wouldn't recommend still because there's not much you can do with it in season.
Overall very bland choice of classes.
Thanks for detailed post, was mostly choosing by visual style of weapon and skills, which fricked me over consistently as it seems weapons and classes that i like are always okay at best.
Yeah i meant succession and brainfarted it hard.
If you're willing to take some advice, don't go by the looks of the weapons and instead go by the overall theme and effects. Take for example maegu awakening, 2 fans as weapons sound pretty gay but the effects and moves are cool enough you'd think she was using something else. My tamer despite using a shortsword has big AoEs and it looks like i'm mostly using punches, shadows and a pet to attack, instead of stabs and slashes.
genuinely asking, is this game anything more than coombait? is there actual good gameplay, story, social aspects that make it a good MMO or no? I own it but never played it.
Gameplay is the only real upside, the combat plays more like a fighting game than a standard RPG and the class system is varied enough that there's a different set of muscle memory involved with every class (barring clones).
The story is forgettable and 90% of the "social aspect" is getting ganked by someone who wants your grind spot and has better gear than you. Little cooperative gameplay barring world bosses and some grindspots plus exactly three dungeons that hardly anybody runs.
Clone classes are different enough that they have their own sets of muscle memory. They typically only share a few skills but their kits are mostly different. Kuno and ninja attack patterns are not very similar, same with striker and mystic.
Yes, there is a story and the gameplay is regarded as being the best action combat around bar none. However there are complications, the story is a drag to follow because their engine doesn't handle cutscenes very well, it's not as smooth as say FFXIV, and the story overall is plagued by filler missions. To keep the comparison to final fantasy i have to say i didn't feel like my time was being wasted, nor was i being disrespected by being bounced to Limsa Lominsa to talk to fisherman A, then the elf city to talk to the counter girl, then to desert city to talk to guard C and so on.
While in FFXIV you feel like you're the ball in a pinball machine being bounced around, in BDO it's more of a lazy river where you can hop off to walk a bit faster, in the sense that it is linear and you can skip the NPC dialogue by pressing R and you won't have missed much. Filler missions are the same with "kill X" or "take that box from here to there" but there is lore deep down if you're willing to search for it. The main quest improves over time but never really "gets good". For lore example there is a reason there are no male elves in kamasylvia, it's not because the devs are coomers and really like elves (yes they are, but) the elves are actually from another dimension and all the males are fighting an evil god.
Social aspects are the usual guild stuff, some drama, some pvp, some group content etc. It's not really missing anything, but it depends on the guild you join. Some you'd think the game is dead because they're all ghosts riding horses in a circle or never talk, some you'd wish they stay the frick still because all the guild wars are impacting your grind.
>their engine doesn't handle cutscenes very well
Looking through the original cutscenes from 7 years ago and I have to say that they're still good and the engine handles them very well, I prefer those a lot more than the ones we got in morning light. They don't have our own character standing awkwardly or bugging out in the middle of the scene but instead focuses on the npcs and there's almost no jank at all compared to morning light.
where are you guys getting necromancer from the only class not released yet I remember getting teased was wukong
the 7th anniversary q&a
4 months without playing, just loggin and overflowing with free shit and a lot of content to do
Is there a Ganker guild?
There used to be multiple guilds (about 5~ years ago)
I miss Baka
Sheesh. Be sure to do your Green Thumb quest.
Does that stack with every other buff?
As far as I know it operates like a family buff, though is only applied to the character which consumes it. So yes, it stacks with everything else... unless there are some hidden conditions/conflicts, but none are mentioned.
I don't wanna lifeskill
>excited about free dream horse
>look up requirements for t10
>look up mythical censer materials
>fruits
>weekly quest

>no longer excited about t10
A second J hammer would've been better.
I thought the same until I noticed I had a lot of the materials sold out on the marketplace saved up already.
It's rough, but events and Rawr-Rawr make it much better. I finally got a T10 and I'm wondering which one I should go for next after the new buff.
>that one girl who had ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE (105) t10 fails before failstacks got added after saving up mats for YEARS
I'd fricking kill myself if I were her holy shit
The Dailies/Weeklies for Fern are a pure timegate. Just keep doing these for some time in advance. Nowadays you can easily do them even from Heidel.
>taming horses quests
I'd rather be boiled alive in piss than press spacebar 1 more time.
>captcha PTxSD
damn right, ptsd
Horse Capture quests are piss-easy now and give way more Ferrn Root, but well, you do you.
Current state of sea bartering??
cringe
as in dogshit money or you think its cringe
mediocre money and only exists for super RNG Garmoth or Vell heart
You tell me, would you rather spend 2-3 months bartering for 4 hours making 200m TOTAL to get a better ship, to then make 700m also in 4 hours -or- grind literally anywhere else and make more money?
>b-b-but muh semi-afk
It's called cooking, semi-afk money is called cooking. There's no reason to barter with what's available to you nowdays.
t. 52k barter count
need
>female class
>has lots of sex outfits
>comfy moveset
>private grind zone that makes good money
go
just play woosa. she doesn't have a lot of outfits now but maybe she will in the future.
>private grind zone that makes good money
literally every grind spot besides the top 3 spots.
bartering isn't even semi afk either cause the autopathing is so dogshit you get stuck on everything. the amount of times I set autopath expecting to be at my destination in about 15 minutes and I find out I got stuck on a rock 2 minutes in. it's ultimately why I stopped bartering years ago, now I just have a worthless carrack sitting around.
>>has lots of sex outfits
Dark Knight. Trust me.
which free dream horse should I pick? and why?
If you don't have it then get a pegasus because flying.
The flying one. While doom is nice to have and the 3 dashes are good, the world doesn't allow it to maximize its potential. There's too many turns, fences and rocks in the way and also slopes which stop you outright, but at least they're working on that.
Pegasus will really come in handy when the best route is to go straight or crossing rivers, and if you're grinding hexe get it for sure as you can jump from a cliff there and go from hexe->saunils in 10 seconds. Doom/gaynicorn will take you the long way around.
Some things in the game have changed since I played the last time and I'm catching up. Would appreciate if someone helped me out:
Is it true that all the wild horses are now guaranteed t6 or t7?
I'm not doing alchemy, but I have an artisan level farming lifeskill, should I just sell all the byproducts? Maybe something worth holding off for cooking?
How often do sethra's artifacts and lightstones drop? I got two artifacts during lifeskilling, but no stones so far.
I remember reading somewhere they've made crate prices fixed. Does this increase the profits or trading exp gain?
Any dailies related to killing hundreds of monsters worth doing?
>Is it true that all the wild horses are now guaranteed t6 or t7?
Yes, though I have yet to see a T7 in the wild.
>I just sell all the byproducts?
Never done proper alchemy, though the meme's always been that you're lucky if you break even eventually.
>How often do sethra's artifacts and lightstones drop
It just depends, really. From killing mobs it's spot dependant, from lifeskilling you often have some handover/mission with randomness to get it, for gathering it probably depend on type of gathering and mastery.
>Does this increase the profits or trading exp gain
Possibly, though it doesn't seem too great as almost nobody seems to be doing and talking about it.
>Any dailies related to killing hundreds of monsters worth doing
Possibly, I remember the one in Jade Forest being pretty decent, though I don't think they're as great as to specifically aim to do them, more like a bonus for something you'd want to do regardless.
Thanks!
>Possibly, though it doesn't seem too great as almost nobody seems to be doing and talking about it.
I never really got into trading and bartering.
I always prefered fishing if I needed to go afk without turning off the pc.
I miss the old days of bdo pvp, wasn't good at it but it was super fun and there were so many names, notorious players and guilds. Can't even remember the last time I saw a red player. Hell can't even remember the last time I even saw anyone owpvp or even walk through my grind spot. Weird to think there was a time in BDO where most people really didn't mind spontaneous pvp. Could be a combination of things. Maybe powercreep and people simply being more knowledgeable than they were in 2017-2018 pushes a lot away.
>OWPVP
>crystal worth 4 bil at risk of breaking
>gear worth 150b at risk of downgrading when red
no thanks. just go arsha, plenty of open world fights, just don't fight in the middle of mobs
Arsha is dead 90% of the day
try grinding at popular spots plenty of morons there who will kill you and even corpse camp you.
I flew around on my horse for 2 hours yesterday at every grind spot and I only saw 6 people. Only 1 of them wanted to pvp and we pvped for about 30 minutes. Even just 2 years ago I would have been stumbling over the amount of people wanting to pvp at orcs but it's not like that anymore. I fly around on arsha often and it is common to see like one or two people on the entire server at any mid-late game spot. Yeah you'd think people would be at the popular spots but not really. Sometimes I actually can get some pvp and maybe even a gvg but it's typically on friday and sunday. If I'm on a normal server I literally don't see people at spots like hexe, lower gyfin or orcs for days or even weeks at a time there. I've even dipped into season arsha for the pvp but it dies after a day or two every season. Still max out a season character every time just for those two days of constant owpvp.
I miss it so much, the only people who remain are gearlords and now they're so concerned with grinding gear that they often have no time to bother with pvp except for war. Back then you'd get any tim dick and jane willing to throw down. AoS can't come soon enough.
Everyone was more or less on equal footing back then. There was a lot more comptetition for the same things at the start.
Eventually older players got what they wanted and went to better locations introduced in newer updates becoming even more powerful.
Seasons also trivialized a lot of things and considerably shortened the time an average new player needs on pre-level 60 spots.
Then there's always this crowd of "p2w" criers, who both discourage people from trying pvp (or the game) and encourage them to rush the whole game. Since you "can't win" unless you have the best gear.
Some people I know play the game extremely casually and half of them don't even touch pvp (myself included).
BDO does a lot of things poorly, but it's a pretty damn good for immersion, comfy pve and lifeskilling.
Hell, I only got into the game late because people always called it a pvp focused MMORPG.
>OWPVP is dead
Good riddance.
It was always avoidable with little effort
I'm not giving up my spot to some entitled little shit I was here first so you can frick off
I don't really care about bothering pve players, that's not what my posts are about.
>I don't really care about bothering pve players
Well, what else is there to OWPvP around?
It was semi-actively killed. Remember that one time PA tried to spoil some sort bounty-sheriff system once only to never mention it again?
Most players want to autistically run around in circles without being interrupted, even casuals hate the idea of being ganked.
Is succ lahn still good at grinding?
still the top for orcs
I kind of want to return, is the DLC worth it? Better question; is the game still not worth it?
>DLC
Steam packs? Or are you talking about the new update?
All updates are free. If it's the steam packages they aren't worth to buy before you know you like the game and you can buy them later if you want to.
>still not worth it
Don't understand the question. Do you like to grind? There are a lot of grinding.
I thought there was a paid DLC coming out, what the frick? Was it just a pack?
There are no paid DLC's, not at least in the traditional sense, this isn't Destiny 2 or WoW.
No, I know, but why would they fricking promote whatever it was as a paid DLC? Looking at it now, because I never actually looked at it until now, it was just a pack.
You mean like a Land of the Morning Light package? There tends to be some sort of in-game item package with the same name whenever new content/continent drops. Never really too much of a notice as I just take it for granted, but I guess it might seem a bit confusing for someone uninnitiated.
7 Day Value Pack (Included in the Old Moon Pack) for 100 Silver in the Pearl shop, also other decent stuff.

Why are they so generous?
They arent, its all a ploy to suck people back into the game free for a month so they get a sub fee on the 2nd month, or they spam your inventory with things that are good but you dont wanna throw them away but you run out of inventory and want to buy inventory slots.
>current year
>running out of inventory slots
My sides.
I have maxed inventory slots. The only issue is weight.
>sub fee
Imagine actually buying old moon and kama buff LMFAO those buffs are worthless
Old moon is totally useless unless you want to really go ham on leveling. Kama can be a little bit useful, but it's easy enough to win on the Marketplace for when you need it.
Wowee an extra 100% exp, totally worth $12.50 a month. Kama buff is nice if you're a lifeskiller I suppose, but 20% extra drop rate is nothing and like you said, they pop on the marketplace like candy. Value pack is mostly useless too unless you want to look pretty or you're a lifeskiller and your income is from frequently collecting orders. If you're just a casual grinder then you don't need any of them. However if you're a patient player then you can just collect every two weeks with a loyalty vp, which is what I've been doing for 3+ years and am over 715gs.
Oh yeah, now I remember why I stopped playing. 3 fricking subs lmfao.
I would play this game every day if they combined them all into one regular ass $12-$13 sub like every other MMO. Oh well, bye
this, only time I use a vp is when I'm liquidating my shit
How's Maegu awakening?
mid
or feed?
busted but high effort
Awful, SUCC is a fricking monster
Succ is so boring, every attack feels the same.
16 servers are marked as crowded on EU damn that's a lot of players.
It's over. The peaceful days are over.
It was fun while it lasted...
Well shit.
Yeah saw it coming, some streamer has been playing the game a lot lately. Stoopz or something
i don't want to go back to dfs....
Don't worry, gearlords will chase them away like they do with every streamer and their fanbase. If asmond plays it will be like when Lacari played BDO, he will never know a moment of peace and will quit out of frustration. Sometimes I think BDO players might be too based.
Get something straight, Asmon would quit almost no matter what. He's a seasonal, trendy streamer, moving from topic to topic and the currents guide him. BDO ended up on his stream because as much as this might shock some people in this thread, the game is doing well, much better than some of its peers.
So the streamer comes and goes, but we know he won't stay, the cards are already dealt against him. That being said, BDO has a large enough barrier to enough that any players who manage to make it through the filter are welcome in my eyes. The game has been out 7 years. If you can muster up the effort to slog through this grindfest then be my guest. I see this as wholly good. People need to be reminded BDO isn't the shitshow it once was at times, though it's still quite far from perfect. I'm not playing any other MMO and don't plan to, so I guess that says something.
I think the staying power this game has is much better than what it was 5-6 years ago, especially with that old stigma slowly fading away. Though lately it seems like it is fading much faster than it used to, which is quite big for the game considering the absolute state of other MMOs. Can't lie, I really do appreciate whenever a streamer plays BDO because I want to see this game succeed. Even if 10% of those players that follow a streamer who quits stay it's good. I still know people who joined when summit1g or imaqtpie and dyrus played and ended up becoming geared and love this game. It's only up from here BDO bros.
Depends on if the GM's are willing to babysit him, the TOS got updated a while back which pretty much made streamsniping or killing someone in malicious intent or whatever a bannable offence.
Kuno Awakening buffs, hello!?
Hey anons, I'm a new player trying the game and I'm a little overwhelmed from the "seasonal" thing. When I try to create a char it asks me if I want it seasonal, and after checking on google it seems pretty complicated? Like you get some bonus but you can only wear certain equip and not other equip? I'm not sure what am I supposed to do because I don't understand what the consequences of what I choose will be
Can you share your wisdom
don't overthink it, just make a seasonal character
When does the season end? this month? Being a new player and knowing nothing, will I be able to do that gear stuff you said or will I be stuck when the season end?
you can do all of that shit in a day, but you'll probably take a few more as a new player, and it ends on the 17th
oh yea it says 30th of august now, plenty of time then
They extended it so there's like 2 months left. Should be more than enough if you play casually.
Season ends in August now but given their recent patterns it'll probably be a few weeks after that before they launch right into another one.
Just make a seasonal character and play the game normally, it'll introduce all the game's systems to you and then at the end dump you into the main game with (hopefully) some idea of where to go next. It's specifically designed as an onboarding experience for new players, though you'll see lots of veterans taking advantage of it because of the benefits it gives.
The server basically just makes sure new, returning or existing players must exist in their own ecosystem, temporarily. The gear you get in this server can eventually be converted to gear you will use on normal servers, once you "graduate".
Season in BDO roughly translates to accelerated leveling and questing. Your best bet is to see what the Black Spirit wants you to do (hit ","), follow your quest log (hit "O" and view the "Main" tab to see the available story quests). Hopefully that points you in the right direction.
Just make a season character and dont think about it.
Seasonal gear is an incredibly good catchup mechanic. It means you cant equip amazing gear you already have on your main, which doesnt matter to you because you're new. It gives you easily upgradable gear and if you dont get filtered and keep going, you can upgrade all your tuvala stuff to PEN which means you'll get TET boss gear once the season ends and it converts your character into a normal character. This lets you get to near endgame stuff pretty fast, while still leaving a path of progression upwards.
While playing on season servers, people cant flag up and gank you like they can on the normal realm. You also get a massive combat XP boost, so you level up like 10x faster once you start grinding.
Goals for a new guy should be familiarize yourself with the UI, get naru gear, smash it to pen to get free pri tuvalu gear. Then you might have to kinda learn the enchanting system
Seasonal. You skip 5000 hours of grinding and get a guarantee-ish pen (max level) armor. Just don't bother with accessories in season. Plus you get some inventory and freebies from free season pass, also the paid one isn't worth it at all. Second. After the season ends you get to keeps your shit and you can wear normal items. Season all the way

sex update when...
>even the thread has no sex...
I don't get any sex either.
I only play valkyrie every single day
iirc valkyries are canonically virgin.
>every single one of them armed with massive lance
>tell me not a single one in all of history has not let her instrusive thoughts win and tried to use the handle as a dildo while alone and out in the wild
Not many Valkyries can wield the Lancia, lorewise. The weapon is heavy and it requires an incredible amount of faith, resolve and an unyielding will in order to master it. Another problem is that most Valkyries have to follow the church orders unquestionably, that conflicts with the way of mastering the Lancia. As a Valkyrie that uses Lancia, you follow more the will of Elion rather than the church of Elionism, so-to-speak.
valk can't handle my lancia if you know what i mean
https://bdocodex.com/us/npc/42105/
Um... i don't know about that...
is there a class that wields spears/lances?
I wanna give this game a shot and that's kind of a deal breaker
Awaken Maehwa use a spear
Nice
can you share gear between them?
are musa/maewha mirror classes?
and is it easy to level alts?
I'm leaning towards rolling as drakania or musa/maewha
Mirror classes in the sense they share a theme and a couple of skills. Other than that mae/musa play differently. Awakening sage also uses a spear, but it's used as more of a catalyst than a spear.
>can you share gear between them
You can freely swap armor between classes. Musa/mae share mainhand and offhand weapons but not their awakening weapon.
As an awakened Musa main I can say it's great. I would however kinda recommend getting used to some other classes first due to the way Musa plays, it's very smooth and some may say basic, so if you were to try some more complicated classes afterwards you might struggle at first to get comfortable with them
musa maehwa are pretty much the same
Awakening Valkyrie uses a lance and shield, Awakening Drakania dual wield lances.
Musa/Maewha Spear
Valk Lance n' shield
Drakania Dual spears
Unironically which horse? I actually have no clue.
The male flying horse it's the rarest and flying is generally considered to be the best ability

If I'm farming all the crops in my garden and I use them to make one of those popular imperial cooking boxes, do I lose some profit if I'm not guru, because I'd get more money just by simply selling the green and blue crops?
I'm not good at math.
>I'm not good at math.
BDO must be a rather strange and mysterious experience.
>numbers go up and down
weeeeee, action, excitement, stuff happening!!!
I don't have answer for you. I was banned from cooking in Velia and Heidel due to numerous civil violations.
You can use bdolytics.com to see the cost for each meal/box more clearly.
>popular imperial under guru
Pickled Vegetables used to be popular but you don't farm for those ingredients you buy them from a vendor in Calpheon.
Thanks.
>buying is almost always more profitable than selfmade
Huh. So why are people paying big money for green and blue crops?
I always assumed everyone who didn't level farming was buying them to make even more profit through other means.
It gets more profitable if you have high mastery.
>either kicked from vm guild or it was deleted
awesome. anyone else wanna step up to the plate for a /vm/ guild?
I pruned the two people who did join since it seemed interest was lost rather quickly. One hadn't logged on in over a month, just figured it wasn't going to work out. I guess that makes you the other anon. Apologies, hadn't heard from you since our first conversation.
I'll keep passively leveling the guild - though it seems as if there's not enough active people on /vm/ who want to group up for stuff on NA.
The reason you don't like Hashashin is because he's black.
Yes, and?
I made mine white though?
Just make him white/arabian like the Prince of Persia, anyway
>Succ Hash
Torandos busted, lackluster everything else
>Awakening Hash
pointless spec for idiots
So, maegu awak opinions? I think the AoEs are too small, the combo system is interesting but very clunky and the dashes aren't as snappy as i'd like them to be.
The combos are very weird, sometimes i can keep the 10% crit buff permanent while others it expires for no reason, especially when doing A/D+RMB, sometimes you can spin twice with the buff sometimes not. Yes i know dashes remove it. It's piss easy to get it though by just doing W+RMB > RMB > S+RMB, 10% crit damage +20AP plus addons in a second. I can see the class suffering from what awakening nova has, having to do the same short duration prebuff over and over and over again, albeit with a better and easier key input.
So far 7/10, small AoEs, gimmick reliant, high floor but no very high ceiling. Just don't get meme'd by the "teleports behind you" skill in pvp when fighting her.
So Pegasus was the canon horse for mc all along....
I am stuck on the stupid quest in the Magnus quest line where I have to find a flare in a shipwreck
can't find the flare or getting stuck on the stealth section? flare is random just look around for the glowing spawn points in the area, stealth is moronic like usual don't remember but I think I just ran and got good rng but if you press Q they won't detect you.
Ok. Here's the thing. There's a chance you won't find the flare and you need to let yourself being killed. Also you could find it and counts as not, but it should still technically work. And the last, you have to get on the highest point of the ship, be careful not to fall.
Here's a youtube video so at least you have an idea what you're supposed to do. The magnus quests are unironically
>friend with 15k hours takes me to vell for the first time so i see how it is

I didn't even know what I got until I asked him what that weird looking thing is, all my luck went into that
lmao
thats BDO for you, i swear some characters are born with extra luck, you'll probably 1tap a pen
to be fair im not having the best time on inf pot, grinded 3 hours today with the drop event and got only 4 pities
>>>>>>>>>
have a nice day
Was it sage who made the magnus, or isn't related to the Ancients?
I joined the discord for 70% of classes and I don't think I found anyone saying that their class is good, this game is full of downplayers
Someone is saying that Berseker isn't good?
Zerk is op. Succession is a pve god and awk is a pvp god.
What should i upgrade next here if im a master 15 cook?
you can start by getting the free tri manos from liana
I can't speak to class meta and balance. I'll simply advise you shouldn't focus on what's "good" and rather what looks (and in turn, plays) to your liking. Since you're not committed to a class yet it's a great chance to experiment. Some people are quite literally bound to their sunk cost mains.
>also how big is the world currently?
Bigger than it ever has been and slowly getting larger. The content is starting to plateau into multiple late-game spots, so you'll have lots to explore and plenty of locations you'll have a mountain of stats to get before you can reasonably access them. The game is fairly wide and somewhat deep in content. There are enough systems and locations to get entirely lost in the RPG elements and lose the MMO aspect of the game. It's that big. Much of it can automated and optimized to the point you still have people who b***h and moan about nothing to do. Autists, the lot of em'.
>haven't played BDO since pre remastered era on RU since global servers weren't published yet.
The game has come a long way. There are lots of catch up mechanisms, notably Season servers make it hilariously easy to get going. Don't stress, there's plenty of opportunities to change course. It takes hundreds of hours to gather up the resources to make truly critical decisions. Enjoy the world while it's unfamiliar to you.
Well i gonna ask my stupid questions. is the witch class considered good? is the game fun if i just want to do skilling like an autistic runescape player? if witch isn't considered good than whats one of the most fun class gameplay wise to play as? preferably female (don't care about the lewd skins. just want nice low fantasy stuff while playing as a chick with elven ears). also how big is the world currently? i like see-sighting. haven't played BDO since pre remastered era on RU since global servers weren't published yet.
As a Succesion Witch player, it's kind of meh. Low mobility, low protection, long cast times, no grab. Trash-tier in PvP. It has some decent range abilities, AoE and pretty damn good self-sustain, but that's pretty much it. Can't stand weapon swapping, so I can't comment on the viability of Awakening, which seems to be the popular choice at this moment.
you can trial every single class and try out how they feel
i like my witch
i have no idea if they pvp well still since its been 2 years since i played
i gave up on really pvp'ing ages ago though after a long ass daily grind to catch up and do some pvp with a guild but then still not being able to compete with the swipers or neets in node wars.
ive just decided its a PVE game so I just dont care about any of that and just like grinding and upgrading stuff
I did some cooking back in the day got to guru and enjoyed dabbling in alchemy, but I get burnt out fast by doing that since it gets old after awhile, although I recall building a huge stockpile of imperial cooking boxes to periodically trade in for a lot of silver. idk if thats viable anymore though, probably isnt bad
succ witch is amazing at all forms of pvp. 1v1s, small scale and large scale.
>swipers or neets in node wars.
I noticed that people who obsess over needing gear to pvp wouldn't ever join the pvp scene regardless of how much gear they had, they'd be hardcap and still get stomped and simply realize they don't like pvping. Swiping and neeting pve doesn't do anything for you if you don't already know how to pvp.
T1s are the most relevant form of pvp right now if you're interested, and it barely requires any gear. No one does open world pvp and no one does gvgs anymore. Get on a trial succ witch and learn how to pvp with it in battle arena, succ mages are literally one of the best and cheesiest 1v1 classes in the game, better in small scale and even better in large scale. It's the only ranged class that utterly shits on grab classes. If you get good then T1 guilds will be chasing you down
The top pvpers in this game are mostly gearlets, T1 guilds are full of total gearlets who refuse to grind but are just really good at the game. Some of the best pvpers sit in battle arena on characters with less gear than trial characters and still roflstomp, just because they know how the game works. Most of the top 100 aos for several classes haven't grinded in years. T2s and beyond are dead because such a small fraction of the pvpers in this game actually have gear, so you have no excuse to not get into pvp if that's what you want.
Succ Witch is shit at almost all of these. No fricking grab, no mobility, squishy as hell, long-ass stationary cast times. The best is maybe trying to play from afar and nuking people, but even that aspect was changed to make Witch play way more close-up.
>No fricking grab
doesn't matter with slow stack + ranged cc spam nukes
>no mobility
keking at this, manage your tps noob
>squishy as hell,
Pa + mana shield + low cd heals + iframe split tp and extremely protected but yes squishy. just don't stand in damage
>long-ass stationary cast times
you don't play the class or don't know how to cancel and abuse terrain. anyone who says succ caster isn't good at any of those categories literally doesn't pvp. idk what game you're playing buddy
Oh yes, the 1000IQ "just manage your cooldowns and play the terrain". The heals apart from maybe Sage's Light are laughable, you'll never get the channel of Lighthouse off. The Teleport is a neat skill, but in the current universe of tons of classes having almost perma dashes, you'll just get ran down easily. You just have no good chase/cc, almost every class can just run circles around you and once you run out of your good cooldowns or you try to cast your skills you're just easy prey, especially when you're this squishy.
But sure, grab don't matter as witnessed by the existence of Wizard, whatever. You keep living your fantasy world.
Skill issue lol. I can tell you're one of those types of people who insists they know everything about pvp but can't even tell what build someone is running just by hitting them a few times. You step into pvp and have literally no idea what's happening around you or what you should be doing in any given situation. How about stop being a noob and step into BA for a few hours, join a t1 guild and stop being a pussy. You sound like a literal dogshit player who doesn't actually pvp, probably got shit on a few times and just threw your hands up then has a big mouth about it.
>I can tell
Making your imagination run wild.
Step into BA with me right now you lazy homosexual. I will diagnose any issue you have with your broken class that you apparently have no idea how to play you absolute disgusting fricking noob shitter. Any server, I'm NA but I will still join BA on NA or SEA. Tell me what specific classes you have issues with. If you refuse this offer then you are just another shitter who feel entitled to gearcheck noobs in open world.
>still join BA on NA
EU*
I refuse.
So you're just another dogshit player who refuses to learn the capabilities of your own class, but whines about how he cannot gear check other players in open world pvp by doing random shit instead of learning how to debuff, manage cooldowns, stay protected, combo and cc. have a nice day.
>open world pvp
That's been dead for years. PvPers are mentally ill, I swear.
>open world pvp
rent free. I just told you to step into BA with me homosexual. Trials. Learn your op class. Learn the game or be dogshit forever and keep crying about how bad you think your class is. I can tell you haven't stepped foot in AoS.
Rent free? I didn't bring up fricking open world pvp. Literal schizo.
>i gave up on really pvp'ing ages ago though after a long ass daily grind to catch up and do some pvp with a guild but then still not being able to compete with the swipers or neets in node wars.
have a nice day
>more imaginary headcanon
Really convincing me there.
Step into BA on trials.
We've been over this, but I guess I shouldn't expect any attention span.
Look homosexual, I'll even destroy you on a succ mage. Pick any class of your choosing. Otherwise if you're gonna keep going on about how succ witch is unprotected, low mobility, is shit because she has no grabs, le stationary meme, then accept you're dogshit and have literally never participated in a node war. have a nice day.
Again, literal falsehoods, but you keep on trucking.
So succ mage is shit in pvp, but you're not willing to prove me wrong? Just go back to centaurs, moron.
What the frick is mage? And I haven't been to centaurs outside of questing for years.
Btw not only are you a complete unknowledgeable a noob about the game, on top of that you are complete shitter worthless gearlet whining about how you can't gearcheck bigger noobs in pvp in your post
. On top of that, you aren't even willing to step into BA to learn how the pvp works, you're totally fine just complaining about non-issues. The fact that you have zero humility about having zero gear and zero knowledge or skill about pvp means you should promptly have a nice day for thinking your literal moron shitter take matters. Your class is great you dumb homosexual, learn how to play the game.
That's not my post you literal schizo. Take your meds.
Then what are you even complaining about, fricking moron?
Merely stating the obvious truth of Witch not being good at PvP outside of maybe some mass PvP scenarios, but I guess it's not shocking that you wouldn't be able to follow the conversation at all.
>Witch not being good at PvP
Just say you don't pvp
Why would I lie?
You think succ casters are only good in niche large scale scenarios. You don't pvp. Guild + server?
>succ casters
Literally only mentioned Witch and Wizard. You are a literal moron that cannot follow what's being said, nor properly reply to it.
Witchard are literally the succ casters of this game. Nobody else is called succ caster, holy frick you're an actual noob. You don't even play this game, have a nice day contrarian moron.
And now I apparently don't even play the game. Just seek help.
>refuses to post guild or server
>never stepped foot in BA
>has literally never been in a war
>has an opinion on pvp
have a nice day troony
So how did you determine that I never stepped foot in BA, nor have I been in a war?
Try thinking about it REAL hard, like the hardest you've ever thought. Maybe that'll start making your realize that you've just made that up. This is also my last reply.
You don't understand how protection, ccs or debuffs work. You think succ casters are bad in pvp because they don't have a grab, you think succ caster refers to anything other than witch or wizard, which immediately tells me you are unfamiliar with the game, its terminology and have a fundamental lack of understanding of how bdo works, yet you have a mouth on you and insist you aren't both a gearlet or a moronic skilless shitter. This is the last time I will tell you to step into BA on trials or have a nice day.
Classes generally aren't overall good, but good at certain aspects of the game and bad at others.
Witch is weird where her Awakening is really really good at certain niche endgame spots no one enjoys (Ash and Crypt) and mid to bad at all the other pve spots. She's great at large scale pvp and basically mandatory for a team, but trash at 1v1 and needs to be babysat in small scale. She's good at certain gathering spots, not recommended for hunting, good at boss rush, and not great for sea content.
You can always tag all of your gear on a second character and have lifeskill alts.
I'd compliment Witch with some melee character good at 1v1 and grind spots with a quick ttk. A.Musa, Striker, A.Ranger, S. Guardian, and S.Zerker are all solid alts.
>have a bunch of stuff I can do
>don't feel like actually doing it
>just login and run around
I really want to just play the game, but it feels like so much.
small goals bro, don't focus on everything.
please...i don't want to go to 100.......
Make use of the drop event, crescent shrine is considerably better than ronaros.
everything is better than fricking ronaros
What's wrong with ronaros?
Terrible drops (ring is worthless, trash is also worthless plus terrible agris value) and packs that are 8 miles apart and are strong enough to not evaporate the moment you hit them unless you've got the AP to be grinding anywhere else. Just an overall unfun zone for someone without a hypermobile class and high-end gear of which I had neither when I chose to do it.
I ran the short rotation by Jerrimo for just under 30 hours. Easy. What's the issue? Mansha and Blood Wolves are far more contested and the birds chew through energy. How is it worse than those?
if you didn't need a phd to play this game, it would be a lot more popular
brain issue
maybe in the past where you needed to put workers and manage nodes too but not now
>he doesn't have a PhD in BDOnomics
>didn't realize that Narchilian gear is bound to family
>been running around with pen naru gear forever
>took it off my other character and put it on my new one
I'm such a fricking dumbass...
did they change it so silver is now shared between all of your characters
yes
we got a guild?
if so does it have chill people or autists?
What do you think lads, will the upcoming Awakening Kuno buff be good?
Kinda surprised at how braindead ez awakening ranger is now, she's so protected and has the best grab in the game. Surprised to see so few of them in BA/small scale/on flex teams despite how strong she is. Same with awk hash, he's an absolute monster but there are like 10< awk hash mains
I just came back to the game. I just got a PEN Red Nose armor from the Magnus quest and I have 25 billion silver carried over from when I quit. I don't know what to do next
Jetina pen boss armor questline once and Jetina pen accessory for Crescent. Maybe buy caphras to Red Nose level 10 to get ready for Turos grind after you get free pens. You really need DP to do any good grind spots besides Centaurs
Also do Loml and start doing boss weeklies
If you can find friends do dungeons
Also perfect gear to grind infinite pot, there is an event you grind more sports.
You can also grind for compass or map treasure items
Fallen God's, Labreska's, Dahn's Gloves, Undying Crow's Insignia, Exalt for Vell's Heart, PEN your BS, swap your Ring/Earring, Get Cups for your accessories, Manos Riding Crop if you don't have one, do all your DP/AP journal + crystal slots stuff, have a good lightstone combo,
to add, these are in order for what I'd do if I were new
>manos riding crop right now
>ap/dp journals immediately
>swap that muskan for urugon immediately
>jetina pen while doing jetina for pen accessory
>grind hp potion spots while going for pen armors
I'm assuming your dande is c5, but you grind on succession due to the blackstar mainhand. You should take those caphras out and dump them somewhere else. There's a caphras event going on where you can pull 100% of them out for 1 silver per caphras stone. It'd be a good idea to do this before the event is over. Infinite hp pot is super worth, go for it. it's easy now
>grind kratuga hard for artifacts after pen armor so you never need any of them again
>get picrel crystals with kratuga money
>put demihuman lightstone set on monster AP artifacts for orcs
>c4 pen armors while preparing for orcs
>get a duo godr-ayed mainhand
imo for new or returning players it's important to grind kratuga for a while because grinding artifacts fricking sucks when you're more geared and you will want a lot of artifact sets. it's good money but not as good as later spots so it blows having to go back. With the duo godr ayed + tet jetina crescent and all AP journals done you should be 281 ap mainhand which is fine for orcs.
>make big money at orcs
>rush c9 red nose for more dp/comfy grind then preorder all armor upgrade flames
>c6 armors
>c10 red nose and then fallen god
>dahn gloves next
>labreska last
>tet disto x2
>c9 boots
>vell upgrade
after all of that you should have an idea of what you need next
The unicorn is better
>base jump with peggy
>summon t10 doom and speedrace with it
>climb waterfall with t10 unicorn
>base jump again with peggy
all 3 or bust
Which mount fits better for Valkyrie? The flying one or the unicorn?
Is there a way for the skill guide to show more skills? I can't remember every button input I need to do for my skills.
look up the combo for your class and write it down on Function -> Notepad and keep it on the screen until you memorize it
frick. oh well, your idea is good enough.
Best class for someone just starting that's fun and easy?
woosa/succession zerk
maehwa/musa striker/mystic are pretty simple
Someone post some fricking Yeoreum outfit screenshots so I can get inspiration
I have a bunch of boxes of outfits but don't plan on making a new character, what do I do with them?
melt for crons
save them like I am, you never know
I'm playing the story and I've been mashing R for 95% of it. When do I get to fight things?
10 hours just like every MMO in the world
You can stop at any point and go do whatever you want, but If it's your first character I suggest mashing R until you reach the awakening quest and Valencia questline.
You'll unlock the for of war on the world map for future characters and it will make your life easier in a long run.
Thankfully you only do it once per account.
Every next character you create has an option to skip a good chunk of the story up until Valencia.
I think some key features and neat rewards are locked behind taking the quests for the first time.
The game has a lot of account-wide things like pets, fairies, mounts, ships, inventory extensions, the tag system, etc.
>try enhancing some TET Blackstars to push a failstack so I can finally try to tap a PEN Debo
>2 tap
>1 tap
>4 tap
>3 tap
Out of last like 14 attempts I got to Boss taps 2 times and they also went on the boss clicks....
Nice humblebrag bro!
Nice mind reading, gay.
I want to farm my last map piece in the sulfur mines on a season character, any class suggestions? prefer something that can help me get this shit over with asap, I remember valk being pretty braindead the last time I played, are they still like that? or is there something better for sulfur mines?
Ok I penned every slot on my tuvala gear and accessories but im scared to graduate incase I mess up and dont get it all turned into boss gear. And they give me a boss exchange coupon before I graduate in a kit thing. But other guides say I get that after I graduate but idk if thats outdated for previous seasons. And then I wanna do the garunteed pen thing too but I cant tell if I need to do that during the season while the season pass is up to get the reward.
I kinda wanna do it early because my main is only a few AP from a new bracket but he only has regular capotia earrings and not even upgraded ones, and I think if I graduate early I can transfer some of them to him so that he can farm a more profitable zone.
>few AP from a new bracket to farm a more profitable zone
won't matter that much unless you're going to reach the big ones at 257-269 but if you're not actually grinding on the season character then there's no reason to not graduate either.
Yea im at 267. 2 decent earrings puts me over that
>the garunteed pen thing
you will need a piece of TET gear which you will get from graduating season, you can start the accessory quest whenever and should've started that yesterday it's daily quest to kill monsters.
two things
WHY THE FRICK can i not dye the white pants in pic rel
also is the jetina quest just an upgrade to a tet bossgear? or does it give you a pen boss armor of your choice? because im still running narchillan shoes.
Probably too difficult and annoying to do for the asiatic devs to implement as it'd work different from their domestic version.
Devs are very cagey about Shai outfits on account of dickygays and (probably) Korean law so there's likely some legal motivator there.
Jetina boss armor requires a tet piece to start and gives you a consistent, progressive upgrade path to pen, once per piece.
>having a break from the game until a J Hammer comes along
>get newsletter talking about a free dream horseand of course a hammer
So what's the catch?
no catch, log in and grab a dream horse of ur choice, a j hammer, 3k crons, and some costumes. no daily quest, no daily login bs.
I see. Will log in tomorrow and see what happens.
You can't sell it on the marketplace, but that's not really a catch.
I suppose the horse might have to levelled still and thus reach ideal speed/brake thresholds unless it comes pre-trained like with the horse skills I'm reading off the page.
i have 22617 cron stones saved up. i am too scared to enchant
pegasus is overrated. I've been trying to snipe one for 3 months but now that I got a free one I'm glad I didn't spend the 12 bil
i want to break up with my valkyrie but I'm far to deep to ditch her now.. Is this what they call sunk cost main?
too deep my ass. everything can be changed over to a diff character.
I mean emotionally
honestly just play something you like, if you actually like the valk play her, don't just swap to flavor of the month, otherwise you're going to end up regretting it and swapping back
They're giving out FREE weight/inventory exchange coupons right now. And more probably. Perfect time if you want to reroll.
I'm thinking about rerolling my Kuno to something else, but have no idea into what.
Be loyal son of a b***h. You need to commit not.
I picked the newest story as my first time playing how bricked am I
its a short intro that will acccelerate you to 50 - 56, and then real combat starts when you get over to valencia. It will be a bit of a slog, but so is serendia and the old regular story, its just theres breaks to kill piss easy grey mobs back there.
>heidel absolutely packed on every server
why did bdo become popular again?
people realizing you dont need to be an absolute autist to get into midgame now
Expansion and bot shart shitting the bed
Free hand outs. Funny that with all that shit we are still stuck with 61 being casually achievable cap and seasonal gear getting shittier with each new region release, especially weapons and accessories.

Did you collect all 5 dragonballs first?

>still have to do dumbass lifeskill questline
how is succ kuno in pve? does she have good movement between packs like mystic/maehwa?
I think she's around average, but not sure. BUUUUT keep in mind that succ kuno requires a lot of APM and effort compared to other classes with little gain.
I'm better at Ranger than anyone who has ever touched the class.
That's saying a lot, since I've touched Ranger A LOT.
Likewise. Though after my PC upgrades it has become abundantly apparent the skill plateau for most clocks in at roughly average. People habitually underplay the class to the point they convince themselves their optimized / effective playstyle is also comprehensive. In turn, the vast majority of Rangers don't merely suffer from severe over-estimations of their competency -- they've been hypnotized into believing good enough equates to greatness.
So yes, I'm sure you have a lot of hours on Ranger. A lot of people do. Most are horrific and don't even recognize it.
I wish we had class usage stats so I could pick the least popular ones
Maewha Kuno
holy shit
LoML is one of the only MMO content patches thriving right now. D4 is struggling with its seasonal announcements. Lost Ark is busy cliffdiving. WoW? FFXIV? Who fricking cares about those, old news from the last tour of the MMO market.
BDO is it until something changes. The bandwagon has arrived and is here to stay for the foreseeable future. You can revisit this in a few weeks and months to see how well it holds up.
BDO is only thriving because streamers are talking about it and you can get a free t9 horse right now, the expansion itself is kinda dogshit
The tourists will leave probably in less than a week and you'll probably get some that will actually stay.
I agree. Didn't intend to overly imply the game is "good". I know I'm talking to a jaded (rightfully so) playerbase. However, you can do a lot worse than BDO right now. Let them come and go. I don't mind them or the new content. Boss Blitz kinda fun.
I like the game myself, I'm not going to shit all over it because I keep coming back but I'm just saying when streamers talk about shit a herd of dumbasses usually follow, like the other guy said, some will stay and keep playing but the rest will just migrate with their streamer handler.
I think the expansion's actually kind of good. Probably the best one we've had in ages, better than Eternal Winter, better than that dogshit magnus and better than O'dyllita.
The expansion is the kind of shit autists from gw2 and ffxiv love so it bodes nicely with them, while you have the boss rush to break up the monotony for grinders and class autists. Lost Ark players are freed from being forced to do dailies and can grind however much they like. Future content is looking pretty nice while other MMOs have nothing exciting to announce. Good PCs are super cheap nowadays so more people than ever have the fps to play bdo comfortably.
>Lost Ark players are freed from being forced to do dailies and can grind however much they like.
how so, what are they changing?
do you no longer need 5 alts to efficiently grind anymore and you can just do it on your main?
>how so, what are they changing?
they're quitting and moving to bdo
>they're quitting and moving to bdo
LMAO no they aren't
bot shart is dying get over it
They was one Overrun season server with the rest crowded yesterday on EU
When is the next season. I graduated too early
While BDO isn't the best and has some very glaring flaws, it is probably one of my favorites from the sheer size of it alone and it has sailing.
I like it for sailing aswell, even if the money from bartering is kinda shit now I still just like sailing around
it's comfy and putting on some nice music and just autisticly going around the map is fun.
how do i get that free tier 9 mount? i already claimed the 2 pieces but when i click on them nothing happens
the steps to do this are explained on the items, read that first before asking stupid questions
i end up with dream donkey. i think i did something wrong. thank you for trying
I really don't understand how people can't manage to read the IN GAME instructions but then still ask the question somewhere else. You didn't manage to read the first time how would you do it this time?
No, they don't read the in-game instructions. They just ask questions that are most of the time already answered in the item descriptions, like no joke. "Where do I exchange this", "Where do I find this", "What is this for".
Anyone down to run trees on NA? I wanna hit 61 on my shai, but dont have anyone to group with and NOBODY wants to run trees anymore apparently.
I will stand there and watch you run trees.
i was kinda hoping id get someone who actually has run trees before. i always was the one standing by leeching trees, but i dont really know the rotation at all. finally hit the bracket, and nobody does it anymore...
...are you accepting my offer?
sure if we can get someone else that can coach me on the rotation. i got some leftover bells and stuff as well
if anyone is up for trees, theres an ad on the part finder, gonna try and run this off a youtube video i found
they're just shai about it
I would love to play Berserker....if it was a cute girl.
>inb4 Dokebbi Brawler
>he doesnt know
Imagine if shai was a zerker. Man pearl dropped the ball hard.
I'd play Shai if she was a turtle
servers shitting themselves or what?
yes
actually can't tell if this is real or edited
real. last time i saw this was when the game released on steam
I never knew there was a term beyond "Crowded"
LET ME IN I WANT TO GRIND
If you're stuck on now processing, switch regions, and then switch back
Servers crashed a while back and that circumvents the processing problem
feeling good about my first shai grinding session. anyone know if using my talent is good for pve? or should i just stick with jumping around with my florang
Breddy gud anon, you can probably push that to 20 or 21k and 25+ caphras.
What AP? On my Musa with similar looking loot buffs I was getting around 400mil/h on 3 trees. I was basically hitting the respawn timer for the mobs, if I was on top of my 100%BSR buffs whenever it was ready then I would start going a tad too fast
Still no vg thread tho. I'd honestly be surprised if the general gets necro'd when necromancer comes
Stupid asmongoloid trash now my game is ruined
i am new but i will not ruin the quality of your game im sorry for being new please forgive me
Do people here play more on NA or EU? I'm on the east coast and don't know which server would be better
Used to be NA now who knows. NA overall has less players but more paypigs than EU.
Created a strawpoll for thread server population if anyone's interested.
https://strawpoll.com/XmZRxLBmvnd
I think EU is more popular but not by a large margin + timezones differ so it's better to just play on NA
NA is very populated, but there are more players on EU.
I don't know why but eu gays love grinders
Its because of swedes and slavs.
im going to play a shai
yo newbie here
is that boy with boomerang class good?
i assume u mean shai? and yeah its usefull for both pve and pvp but idk if good is the right word for it i definitely wouldnt pick shai as a starter class my picks for starters in order are
>Berserker(Succession)
>Striker(Awakening)
>Musa(Awakening)
>Warrior(Awakening)
>Valkyrie(Awakening)
hope u enjoy the game, dont get discouraged when some 7 year veteran 720gear score one hits you on Arsha though

Bro..you get her best outfit from the free boxes, the solaris one
S tier in everything. Seriously.
Ok, so I have a bunch of wagons filled with accessories that I bought at min price. I haven't played in a year and I'm checking through some of them and the prices have risen on my server. But before I unload them are they used in any quests or gear else why are they selling out.
Mark of Shadow
Shrine Guardian Token
Kagtum Submission Ring
Mesto Earring
Ridell Earring
I have hundreds of each, which should I be keeping and how many?
You keep 2 mark of shadows and shrine guardian tokens and sell everything else.
sell them all, legit all worthless now, take as much silver as u can get
>post about this
>shit gets flooded shortly after
LMAO!!!! I remember why I hate this game's economy morons everywhere. Thought I would come back for the free dream horse but nah frick this game.
take your meds
weirdo
I would not even make an alt wear those garbage rings in pen form
For potion spots that don't give good silver/h, i.e. everything other than Sherekhans, is it best to just target the mobs that drop the pot and pity pieces?
If I was going to spend an hour doing actual grinding I'd rather do it on my main, but this way I could take a low-geared alt that I don't play much and get more familiar with them whilst also (hopefully) getting pity pieces
just grind normally, it's probably harder to do that than mindlessly going through mobs
didn't they change this to 20k or am I getting alzheimers
if you do that the weekly quests are going to take longer to complete and that should be the only thing you aim to do at those spots unless you're a turboautist
they changed it a few months ago or something they also removed the loyalty "deals" that changed every other month
>go to a leveling spot
>spend time there for two hours
>have multiple exp boosts
>exp goes up two percent
is there something I'm doing wrong? I went to the sulfur pit because that's about the AP/ DP I have.
Leveling is pretty pointless after level 62.
I'm 59 trying to get to 60.
Just quest to 61, ask for a boost or do some group spot like Mirumok.
I don't know much about the dream horses, but I think I want Dine for the ability to sprint anywhere. Do I pick male or female?
Questing is the quickest way to 60 https://www.blackdesertfoundry.com/leveling-59-60-guide-questing/
That does seem like a low amount of exp though, either your gear is low so you don't actually kill mobs fast or you don't have that many exp buffs on
>don't have that many exp buffs on
There's literally 1000% combat exp event going on.
I don't one-shot them, but they do die pretty quick. I think my problem is that my AP is 213 because I've honestly not done too much. Rolling with narch gear currently. Tulva is for season characters only, right? I haven't been killing bosses because they all spawn at odd times and it's fricking annoying.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1R6vcfKavoo85TcY6Xul6GzR8LNiO5IuXH8F5fZwUrSw/edit#gid=1619546493
Scroll down a bit for the season exp ranking, desert fogans or desert nagas are a lot better than sulfur
Two hours for 2% with the 1000% event, most likely the season buff and the regular buffs like 120min, 300%/500%, 100% from book and daily scroll.
That's just not possible, what class and how fast are you killing the mobs? If you're not almost oneshotting them go somewhere else.
He'd have to do the awful tome quest which isn't fun at all for a new player
>goes to sulfur mine
>why am i not getting exp
because that place sucks dick for xp. just go to pollys, or wait until after my shift and id be down to leech you trees (mirumoks (one of the best early game xp spots) (if i remember correctly))
>can walk on water
that actually sounds cool though, imagine laps around vell while shipchuds use their shitty cannons. imagine jumping onto random passing boats and killing everyone aboard,
The thing is, I play alone for the most part and don't talk to people at all, so that's why I've not done mirumoks.
Hey, I was the anon over at Sherekhan that messaged you. If you decide to do another run I can swing by (and actually participate). Finished my daily checklist so just let me know.
sulfur isn't good exp. go to marie cave near hexe for decent exp.
AHAHAHA! FINALLY! I just did some questing. finished most of Kamasylvia.
My female character is pure
pure bawd.
post her and we can judge.
POST HER NOW
I've seen the outfits you frickers have on
What's going on with the eu chat why are people spamming "!claim" "!redeem" "!drops"
Which characters you play with the default appearance?xdtrnx
Berserker, aka your mom.
Ninja with the quest reward box outfits because the pearl outfits suck except Obsidian Arrow and I'm not spending any more money on this game
I CAN'T FIND MY "CHOOSE YOUR DREAM HORSE" THING!
>inb4 moron
Yes. In the description it says that the dream horse skills are at 100% Does that means the horse has all the skills and I can just use it and get it to 30 without any worries or extra steps?
Correct, and per the patch notes it will keep all those skills at 100 even if you reset growth because it has shit stats.
I thought about it, but diné is the best horse as it's the most practical.
If you're a sandBlack person, maybe.
She can also walk on water, desert is just a bonus. Plus I'm sure they'll add content where dine passives will be useful.
>desert is just a bonus, T10 can walk on water!
>Surely they'll add content where this is useful sometime!
cope harder dinelet, waterwalking is worthless because you can't do it for long periods even with the buffs they just gave it on KR. There's zero practical use for it right now where doom/pegasus isn't objectively better.
You can use t10 dine to get to Oquilla
Lol it's funny how unicorn has always been the meme horse. They need to buff the water walking and make it limitless and mountable in water if they want the horse to be useful. You should be able to park your horse in the water, do whatever you need to do, then get back on it and leave without having to ever touch grass. Maybe walking on water creates temporary water platforms ala mystic succession quest, that allies can walk on. Could be useful in node wars with a lot of aquatic barriers. Instead of having to play around rivers, lakes and ponds, have the shotcaller shout for a water bridge. Something, anything. t10 dine is so lame.
>Maybe charging on water

name 1 thing worth doing in the desert
Is drakania any good?
Yes if you're moronic.
she's awesome
I thought about it. What type of magic valkyrie uses? Is it called divine magic, but it's something that she got from god or is something akin to "a will" as in she has faith and the power manifests? And how can she live with a black spirit and why isn't her techniques corrupted by it? It feels strange as frick for holy class to be possessed by a dark entity and seemingly having her powers not being affected. I this shit explained in lore as how does divine magic works?
Players the selected the unicorn have pronouns in their profile.
Does shai have any barefoot transmogs? or any open toed shoes? Asking for a friend who is interested in playing the game.
yeah.
Very nice what about a swimsuit?
just an underwear you can only wear in safezones. the chinks censored everything else.
ty
this game is kind of confusing but i like it so far, its like a chinesium runescape sorta and the visuals are very pretty
>try reblathing to push some 100 stacks
>get 3 PENs under 10 clicks
>get another PEN 4 clicks later
The game really tries hard to stop me from getting any high stack ever again. I don't even have anything to click the hammer with.
I am humbly of the belief some account are meant to enhance, some aren't. When you're talking a system that is wholly determined by chance permutations there's little you can do other than have the necessary overhead capital and a frick ton of patience. I'm not going to advocate to give up, it's just that enhancing might as well be the proverbial resource and silver sink with punishing returns. Anything else, at all, is a better use of time than less than optimized enhancing. It might as well come with a warning message that you're about to risk increasing depression and anger. Stupid, but that's the system.
Oh, it's not as if I'm delusional or too emotional about the outcomes of the system. It's high-variance and I understand that. It's more about me just having the bizzare experience of failing to create a high failstack again, when it's pretty much the only reason I am doing it. Like 18 attempts in a row starting at 100+ without even getting to a 240 stack.
And I'm not even complaining about my luck, while I don't really track my success/failure rates, I'd consider my outcomes overall more on the lucky side and the way I'm being screwed aren't even nearly as bad as it could've been, it's just that the current streak feels surreal.
>surreal
41 PEN Blackstar Awk weapon failures was enough for me. I know, it's not much and nowhere near a catastrophe, but that was my personal breaking point.
Grinding has a fuzzy but relatively predictable input to output ration. Lifeskilling is likewise, except it even scales as you improve. I actually like the new Green Thumb game when I'm picking flowers because there's some amount of interactivity and benefit if I pay attention and put in some effort.
Enhancing is a dismal science. I guess the great equalizer has to occur somewhere and it's there (and drop chance, nevermind that though). Enhancing blew up my wealth once. Not again. To that I say if you aren't essentially one tapping your shit, then shove your enhancing shit onto the marketplace so the psychotic gambling addicted trillionaires can continue to chase the dragon. Feels almost exactly like a coke habit.
I take enhancing in general more like a bonus that I can afford to lose, so it rarely really matters whether I succeed or fail. If I get it I get it, if I don't I don't and if it's something essential, then I try to maximize the amount of rolls highly enough that I am not too likely to fail and get screwed.
Good attitude to have. Goal-orientation with enhancing is dangerous. Learned me lesson, venting is cathartic and hopefully helps others not be blindsided when attempting it.
Goals are fine, it's more about managing expectations and results. Getting too invested when failing something like 20% attempts 5 times in a row is ultimately silly with the amount of randomness the game has. You roll things so much that it's almost inevitable that you're gonna get fricked real hard. That's just how it works, just be ready for when it happens.

games going to be dead in a month again people just wanted that mount
the game has booms and lulls, it's been like this for years.
they're clearly shifting pvp off to the side and focusing on pve already. if they're serious though, they need to update the movement code, starting to show its age
>"PA you should remove mouse movement and animations being tied to FPS as it fricks over the balance of the game"
>PA answer
The biggest issue in the game is movement creep, every class can now teleport and move at the speed of light fricking over and kind of hope for good combat.
skill issue
be faster dumbass
tell that to the game engine moron, it can't keep up with the class speed anymore
do we have a guild or no?
Technically speaking, no. Though anons are always welcome to come and go from this thing I created. NA btw.
ALRIGHT Black folk. I AM GOING TO BE DOING ANOTHER MIRUMOK RUN. ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO LEECH, OR PARTICIPATE IN THE GRIND, MESSAGE ME ON THE VM POST IN THE PARTY FINDER. I WILL BE GRINDING FOR THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS. JOIN WHENEVER, AND LEAVE WHENEVER.
fixed the post for level 1 requirement instead of 60.

Anyone know if they've ever given out free wagon skins? I have a shitload of free stuff I never redeemed and I want one for afk training

good grind today boys, got a good amount of drops, shame i only got 1 valtarra in 2 hours with 300% but it is what it is.
Ranger here, had to log back in to make sure I wasn't seeing things. I thought the drops from the boss blitz was good enough but apparently today really is my day.

Remember this when you get 10 months of bad RNG
Business as usual. At least for now I have tree runs to offset the inevitable crippling depression.
I wish I could get this lucky. 27 fails on a tet bs I had sitting off to the side so I said frick it and sold it yesterday. Never successfully tapped a pen accessory, never got a vell or garmoth drop, never got a duo accessory drop in over 5 years. All of my major upgrades are from buying lol feels bad. My RNG always gets allocated to fricking doom horse doing taps I get with the free mats. I'll never have my day.

all asian characters come from loml. striker and mystic are from calpheon but trained in the far east
to be more specific striker grew up there but mystic went later in her life
>striker and mystic are from calpheon but trained in the far east
is there any extra dialogue for this classes. I also recall tamer is a princess of a fallen kingdom, does that comes up if you play tamer. Or special dialogue is there only if you play the new classes?
>spacebar+rmb
There's nothing more grug than this
rebinding rmb to another key is easier on the hand for me I can't handle holding down rmb all the time while moving the mouse
valk is funny, she has this braindead shit at low end but then you need to input a whole combo just to get a dash
she also has a dark spirit yet has holy powers
is there anything in the lore that says that the dark spirit prevents the use of holy powers?
the '''dark''' spirit permits the use of so-called "holy" powers
I think that only some classes make sense for them to be possessed by dark spirit as their powers is a manifestation of dark spirit powers lorewise. The others is iffly.
I have generated over 5000 goth girls via stable diffusion.

>moron ask stupid basic lore questions after pressing "R" 99% of the time.
here's a better question; is it even worth it to read the story/ lore in this?
Unironically, yes. It's pretty interesting. Some aspect can be darksoulsschizotheorized.
no. its terribly translated full of grammar/spelling errors and they only started caring to put effort into it within the last year
I did see a ton of awful grammar and spelling mistakes. I'm wondering if they just plugged the text straight into google translate or if they just had a bad group of translators.

It's over...
This thread got more IP's and the same amount of posts that the last one got in 90 days and the /vg/ thread has people posting in it.
Sad to say but it looks like we're alive.
migrate to the new /vg/ thread, it's bussin' fr fr
>thread full of coomers
I'm good here
I like it more here.
I like both
you realize that coom posting is somewhat necessary in /vg/ to keep thread bumped or it will be killed by other threads.
You already have to ignore schizos and troll, is it that hard to add coomers to that list
By the looks of it it's bound to be filled with avatar posting attention prostitutes and possibly erp just like usual
So I got my Lahn up to level 20, and I still just press buttons randomly with her. Is the difficult to play?
Should I swap to Guardian mommy?
That's how it'll be until around level 50-56 on any class, the gear they give you through the quests are very strong for the area they send you to.
You can try out all of the classes in the "Trial" tab on the character select screen to get a gist of how they play at max level.

he's playing this weekend apparently, let's compare theories
This game's been so good to me coming back and it's concerning. I PEN'd my timbs and flames of frosts were just chilling on the marketboard. Free outfits, free bikini, a new shiny prostitutekini, and Maegu awakening is fun. What else did I miss in the last like 10 updates.
The obvious one would be the new zone with the new boss blitz and the new crystals which are really good. There's the +2dp and +1ap from a new adventure log and the main story quest in LotM. You can get the flame for the gloves in a month, 4 resets, since you get a bonus reward from another adventure log each time you kill a new boss.
New cooking recipes, hunting lifeskill zones etc. might want to skim through the patch notes yourself since it's only been 10 updates.
Don't forget to claim the free dream horse and read the FESTA recap.
https://www.naeu.playblackdesert.com/en-US/News/Detail?groupContentNo=5542
The cooking looks neat, I did plant a bunch of the new seeds today for farming. Did know about the hunting, I haven't tried it but it's on the to do list eventually. I'll read up on it . I'm debating how lazy I can be and not finish out my mana pot.
The county gukbap recipe is my personal go to for guru boxes now since it's so incredibly easy to make but it does have lower profit than the old meals since it doesn't benefit from mastery when cooking.
Mfw nothing beats Valencia meals still. I noticed Bracken nodes were really cheap and available so maybe Eilton meals will be good. Eilton's cozy.
The /vg/ thread is alive again btw pretty much everyone moved there already.
Frick /vg/ and frick moron who made thread there.
It's powered by shitposts already so it'll probably die like it always does when streamers stop baiting in new players.
Just finish the mana pot, the gathering part is easier than ever. Can literally do it with a magic tanning knife and nothing else, the drop rate has been buffed multiple times and I'm pretty sure they made more mobs drop the whole piece. Imo the hard part is shitty manshaum and awful tshira.
Tshira's where I'm at. 102 pity pieces of Manshaum's, I'm saving the gathering for last cause I know it's not that bad. Tshira's is just dull.
>the new bawd bikini
Like the new one in the shop or the one I've been showing off so far? I'm dropping some money and getting more outfits so pick one.
Werkin on it.

More like waste money day.

My favorite day!
Firstly I'm a day late cause I ate an edible yesterday and it recommended I eat a fourth of it at a time and I ate the whole thing out of spite and I died.
Secondly, mods borked my game so I had to uninstall and reinstall just now and I really am moronic I can't figure it out ngl. Maybe one day.
God, I want to cum all over that tummy, and don't worry about the mods your character looks good without them
I'd still prefer her with fatter breasts and ass, if ever so slightly. Salanaar Outfit makes her loot bratty though and that's making me have feelings.
That looks really fricking good and I know what I'm buying now. Thanks!

Garmoth.com. Learn to love it, you'll need it and should use it.
Black is always a good (the best) option. Also I'm buying all the bikinis tomorrow when I get paid.
I do love leaving little subtle hints. It makes me giggle.
Excited to go play around and dance and bounce and look all pretty while killing fat ugly bastards.
>big fricking spades in the background
yeah so little and subtle no one would ever know
Well no one mentions it so how would I know! I know I'm moronic.
Goof.
I swear I had taken a shot of her ass but I guess I'm insane. Please have this as a placeholder, I'll take some after I'm done with scrolls.
Of course it looks good.
>And what were they thinking with the normal dye system? This shit is horrible without merv's palette
You have no idea how bad things used to be it seems...This game was not always this nice to you.

Let me out.
Brazenly wanting to edge boys...I did 52 scrolls my fingers hurt. What underwear did you want to see again?

I guess I could get mods installed now huh and make my breasts and ass bigger.
You definitely should get those mods. I know it would help me out, but I can still work with no mods.
If possible, could I see what the new bawd bikini looks like fully black with the valencian dyes and red/pink?
>breasts and ass bigger.

Post full body shot and butt
Do valencian dyes look good on bikinis too?
And what were they thinking with the normal dye system? This shit is horrible without merv's palette
Like most things, a frustration event to get you to buy mervs pallet while also being able to say 'you can just craft your own dyes' back near launch to people who would be angry
>new shiny prostitutekini
I love it but I can't decide on what dyes to use on it
