Is there even a desert that happens to be black in this game?
>>1915239There is a desert filled with black stones
>>1915271The best place to grind blackstones is literally as far away as you can get from the desert though, explain this
>>1915437The entire lore are countries fighting over extracting the resource and Calpheon ended up harvesting a load of blackstones.

What's the best way to get 2 more DP first week of Edania if you have all TET Fallen God? OCT sub weapon? I can't reach the second boss because I'm a DPlet.
>>1916783your only realistic option is oct subweaponobviously you're not supposed to skip the first boss on the first week though
>>1916795So apparently we're getting a +1 DP journal tomorrow. So a shrine buff or sep sov should do.
>>1915227sis, you made a mistake calling it a general. all gen threads outside of vg get nuked. shouldve just called it a bdo thread

What the fuck happened to total AP while I was gone for just 3 months?
>>1916915added monster and hidden ap
>>1915271Let me guess, Crimson Desert will have red rocks in the desert. How revolutionary!
>>1916915Relatively recently, the devs changed AP, monster health, and Agris Fever scaling in ~280 AP+ areas, as well as some other odd things like making resistances irrelevant in PvP.>>1916858The jannies more or less gave up on their zen gardens at this point.

lol just don't skip the first boss
>but i'll be a week behind because the mats are time gated!bruh you'll be years behind when your edania armor enhancements all fucking fail
>won't be able to do bosses because I have 2 Tungrad earrings an 1 tungrad ring>I'm far above the "AP requirement" to do the boss, but still can't do it because I need full "red" gearFucking awful, will it be worth it to buy 3 base Kharazad accessories just to be able to do the first boss at first week and not miss out?
>>1917346I'm >>1916915 and had this same thought a few hours ago.Creating a base Kharazad is about 6b right now.I guess weigh how much you want to work on obtaining Edania armors and their time-gated upgrade materials early compared to if you'd rather save that money and buy pen debos to convert, and work on the armors later.I hate it as well. It's like they're really, REALLY trying to force people into sunk-cost low grade kharazads when waiting and just buying a pen debo to convert is mathematically the far better choice, especially when the new zones drop all debo bases so they're only going to get cheaper as you grind up the money for it.
>>1917354Yeah it's fucking retarded, I refuse to enchant them myself and will save up and just buy PEN debos. And like you said the price on debos will drop A LOT because all the new spots will drop debo accessories. I understand that they want to prevent the DP "cheese" with using Narc earrings, but they shouldn't punish people using other accessories for AP just because of that shit.And it feels stupid to waste nearly 20b just to be able to do the weekly bosses thanks to that bullshit.
Is it worth to get the season pass guys?
>>1918150Nope, it's way overpriced.
>>1918150Depends, if you're a new player the value is decent. to kit out a char you plan to play as main, 2 maids, 1 outfit, celestial horn and 20 or so inventory slots .Else nope.
We need a boycott. CCP Games is sucking up money, and so is CD and Dokev, and so they are milking us even harder for it. How long will we put up with this?
>>1918396600 pearls is too much?>>1918411I am new, I just hit lvl 36 in going through the story. I'll probably just get the pass for now and save the pearls I bought for later.
>>1918479Use up your remaining tickets.Purchase the one for loyalties.Why do you need any more?
>>1918479>>1918671Sorry thought you meant season tickets.The pass is kinda meh but still useful if you don't have any of those things.
>>1914303>The nature of the gameplay can't support stuff like this without making it mandatory.I'm not really certain what you mean, would you mind elaborating? My point was to have more things which are specifically not mandatory.If you had said "the nature of players" or something similar I would probably agree, as a lot of people have an issue with not doing everything in their power to only minmax silver/h. Very little is specifically mandatory to progress, all the enhancement materials can be bought off the marketplace so any income of silver lets you progress.
>>1918431people will quit when they realize edania is aidsthey should get rid of the arbitrary gear reqs, timegating was enough already
>>1919021I hope we will. It's like they don't want the game to grow by putting up such a massive wall for anyone that isn't a super sweatlord. And the fact that they're also splitting up Edania into so many parts is no doubt caused by all the aforementioned side projects...
>>1919103the worst part is they're doubling down on the worst parts of the game. you HAVE to enhance, you HAVE TO care about crons or you don't progress, you can't just grind silver/lifeskill for gear anymore.
>>1919146The cron sink is so crazy they had to make an alternative to crons in Edania so people could catch up without burning 200 billion for a successful tap with vendor crons
sea english patch notes up https://blackdesert.pearlabyss.com/Asia/en-US/News/Notice/Detail?_boardNo=8017

How many CP points are needed for the new region?
>>1919446they're going to be on the central market
>>1919506what points?
>>1919529Contripution points
>>1919508That still doesn't help that like 99%(+) of players don't have a tet fallen god armor nor 770+gs(all red or purple gear) to do the boss then convert it to use them on.As it is right now, most of this Edania content is only accessible to a couple thousand players across all servers, many of which probably aren't even playing anymore. If the fishing and lifeskilling in the area is useless or even just inefficient, the region is going to be even more dead than LOML aside from a couple dozen streamers and gearlords dueling each other over their throne of dust.
The funniest part of the patch will be to see the shitfest and complain from the community>WTF WHY CAN'T I DO THE BOSSES WITH NARC!?>NOBODY TOLD ME I HAD TO DO THE BORING DUNGEONS BEFORE I COULD ENTER THE NEW ZONE!!>WHY DO I NEED GEAR FOR THIS ENDGAME CONTENT
>>1919554>99%(+) of players don't have a tet fallen god armor nor 770+gs(all red or purple gear) to do the boss then convert it to use them onAnd that's a good thing!
>>1919424woah, the second update hits the towers on 9/11
>>1919555Dungeon requirment have been patched out. I haven't done any of the dungeons besides the first because when I tried the 2nd dungeon had a softlock bug so I stopped playing them.
>>1919585There's a good reason they patched out the requirement to do the dungeons first.I just did them yesterday for the hammer at the end and got bugged/softlocked around 20 times throughout them all, most of which required some combination of forfeiting the quest, throwing items away and re-acquiring them, swapping characters or completely logging out and back in.It altogether took me about as long to do all 4 of those questlines and the ending as it took to do magnus a while back and was somehow an even worse experience.
Will we finally get a spot that gives good EXP?
>>1919595Nope, you'll grind Gyfin for exp FOREVER.Combat experience means nothing anyway unless you just want to see a pointless number go up.
>>1919595Elvia boners have been pretty alright
How many of you logged out at the shrine for the subweapon?
>>1919665I was going to set up there but I was finishing up the dungeon quest line and got kicked in the final phase of illezra, so close.
45min to go till the servers are back.
>>1919665I'm bordering on a second anvil-forced PEN Blackstar.
Well every tap has been over the average for me. Ngmi.
>>1919965Same... just managed to get mine to PEN tho.
>>1919999Nice, two more level for the DP
Hit TET on 4th attempt and PEN on 5th attemptI sure do hope this trend continues.
Here's a new adventure log for a bit of sheet stats and some hpTakes like 5 mins to do.

What im supposed to do? Despite playing this stupid game for years, I can't even have fun with new content. How did you guys get Kharazad? I wish I could quit the game, but I'm addicted to fishing and sailing. Also the new female class from edania looks like a good goon material.
>>1920407If you mostly do fishing and sailing you might as well not care about gear. The new content isn't anything special, the new gear only exists so you can do more weekly time gated bosses and grind more mobs that do the same thing other mobs do. Might as well put your money into improving your boat and lifeskill gear.
>>1920329They just consolidated stats into the Bartali's journal. Why would they make us do another tedious journal?
>>1920329>deal with them all within 5mingood, fuck faggot quests in this game. the lore in this game is shit and i only play it because it has good action combat, not because muh dialogue and worldbuilding.
>>1920426Extra journals are good. Extra stories in those journals are good.Locking stats behind them is bad.
>grind in circles even longer in a new area but now you have to self-enhance everythingriveting gameplaythey're going full milk mode now, they have to increase profit somehow so now they want to pressure everyone to buy their shitty greedy overpriced enhancement/outfits packs and they expect praise for the scraps they toss you and "good deals"fucking gook jews
>>1920477realistically what else did you expect them to do? lol nevermind the fact that gear progression was unironically almost perfect before they added the debo rings and earrings and could have satiated a very large playerbase for years with how grindy it already was. it literally just needed the pity system and they could have left it there.they've been on this train ever since they introduced land of the morning light.
ofc that thing would gonot even mad really
>>1920507vam
stole mom's credit card and bought the papu the underwear and the tent, this sale on the tent was huge
Are Giant workers the best for regular gathering nodes? And then humans for excavation nodes?
>>1920782The way it works out most of the time is that goblins tend to be better for nodes that are like 1-3 nodes away and giants are better for 3+ node lengths away3 is about where it's really close and kinda depends on the distance(it slightly varies)This is because goblins work fast and giant's work slow but make 2x as much once they're done. So if you put a goblin on a long route, it's going to spend 2x as much time traveling as a giant. Hope this makes sense.
When are we getting a character whose mom is a Darktouched Spirit Shaman. I know someone in Balenos wanted to pipe one.
>>1920646Well done, that's pretty much the entire p2w set you will ever need.If you enjoy the game it's the right call.
>>1920861he still needs like 40-60 maids for the true comfy bdo life
>>1920861let's go!>>1920865I also got the nword pass I mean the black pass which gives you two maid thingys
>>1920407>What im supposed to doBuy tet debos and duo Fallen Goods, they could be min listed in a few days.>>1920865You get a lot of maids from the events. I got to 40/10 just from it and it's good enough.
So if I got a sovereign offhand, primordial fragments are useless and I can just sell them?
>>1921023Yes they're meant to be vendored if you don't need them.30mil each
Where's the good edania fishing spot?
>>1920407I don't blame you for not grinding in this shit gook casino simulator, you're ahead of most where it counts
>>1915227chat are we cooked?
Nice, managed to get 3 twisted lightstones with some gambling.
>New spots pretty much forces you to use marni as every zone has like 3 spots only>has to wait 1h between every 1h grind sessionshit
>>1921107Why don't people understand that this is always how the game was? New content always came out that only a small amount of players were geared for. It gives everyone else something to aim for. Sheesh I remember when I didn't have the gear for Valencia or Kamasylvia.
>>1921179Valencia and kama had noob zones, it wasn't exclusively for super high geared players at any point.
>>1921226Edania has noob zones aka lifeskilling
What the fuck the first Edania boss sucks.
>>1921107>that pickekypow
>>1921253It's not fun. You do a ~5min fight before you can even start the real fight, where you'll die in 30 seconds the first time and have to do the pre-fight again.And again.Every try.
>>1921253>>1921298>pay to win mmo players when they actually have to play the game
>>1921321Huh?
digital blackface
>Edania>Filled with black peopleWoke>Referred to as The Demon Realmkinda based
The new grind spots are actually meh, at least the first two.
>>1921452Well people are going to need at least 720 of the new endtimes drop from them. Easily over 100 hours grinding that shit
NAGA on NAGA violence is getting out of hand
>>1921416How far into development of Edania did they decide that it needed negros?
>>1921555negros make perfect sense. Demon lands gotta have negros in it (I mean where else would spawn them). Why do you think the mermaid refers to two legs as beasts?
>>1920507
Any good fish spot yet?>>1921522The droprate on the endtimes is really low and it's only worth 20m, I have no idea what they were thinking about.And once you got the crystal of ruin on each spot, the drops for those become nearly useless.I've also been grinding for over 5h in total in there (2h at the first spot and 3h at the second) and gotten 0 debos.So once you're out of agris the silver is not even that good.
>Dokkebi forest is better than the first 2 Edania zones.
>>1921900based back to dokkebi for me.
>>1921900>>1921916everywhere sucks without the drop rate event
>>1921555Edania was always hashbrown land, what do you mean?
not gonna lie the idea of logging in to grind is sickening atm, but I have to cause I wanna be ready for guild league when it comes back. man I hope they bring back hardcore soon, it was such a good daily monotony breaker that it actually made me want to grind when my 2 hours were up even if it was a piece of shit jank mode. >>1921900h-how good is dokkebi? i've been at hexe ever since they nerfed it cause it's still better than the other spots I grind
>>1922037Dokkebi is really really really good, only issue is that the mobs hurt a bit and the price on the dawn essence/crystal is so low now thanks to everyone grinding there.
>>1922072The dawn price is going down because majority of the people who were buying to tap till NOV are done. Dawns got a spike with the mentor event when smurfs bought the whole dawn stock to rush a TET/PEN Kharazad and now the demand is steadily dropping. It will rise soon again with the JIN lifeskill crystals.I don't know what the point of the fish phase is in the Coral Nagas spot. I don't blame people leaving these spots and going back to spots like Dokkebi and DSR. New spots feel weird and the money feels bad. It will feel worse too in a month where Deborekas will start crashing, the necklace was below 250m today.
>>1922159your contrast sir?
The new life crystals are pretty sick.Full mastery crystals was +160 mastery, full exp was +80% exp, now you get to use both at once at an improved amount. (+240 mastery, +112% exp)Already had the full set of 16 exp and 16 mastery crystals, just had to extract them.It took about 4 hours to mine all the crystals from the crabs to make them, and about 15b worth of sharps and magical shards.
>>1922037>not gonna lie the idea of logging in to grind is sickening atmthat's how everyone will feel once they get to edania and are forced to cron enhance ad infinitum, this doom season will be hilarious
>all drops in Edania sucks except for the energy of endtime>you need a shit ton of them and they barely drop at all>only worth 20mWHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
>>1921107Gets me wondering, are the large leaps in attainable sheet AP/DP we've seen in merely a single year comparable to the time they added enhancement to accessories long ago? By the time I was playing it seemed like the overall difficulty curve to reach TET boss gear + TRI accessories was getting flattened. Regardless, there's probably some incentive for an endgamey area but the gearing curve is certainly outpacing most people.
>>1922342don't forget the edania monster damage crystals you necessarily need to grind yourself because they can't be listed on the CM
>>1922342too many bullshit items each requiring 100 fragments to piece together
So tired of invincible boss phases and attacks. The dragon flying to attack and you just have to stand there and wait is fucking stupid.
>>1923244it's terrible any time you are just waiting around for the stupid invun phase is mega lame. Also stuns for no reason (bulga end phase)
I hate when costumes have retarded dye slots. Like when metal pieces are grouped with cloth pieces. Poetica would be perfect if it wasn't for the gem being grouped with the metal piece on the hat.

>>1923311As long as you don't roleplay as a woman what's the problem?
>>1923313you're sitting there worried about the fashion mechanics and how it's impairing the ability of your girl to look cuter. You're on thin ice buddy
>>1923314Let me guess. You play a berserker and use Valencian dye in all your dye slots.
>>1923326I don't play this game nigga

>>1923499Not telling
>>1923499I bought them all
Edania nagas>uses over 20k agris per hour, even as a slow Kuno awakening grinder>not a single debo drop in like 5h of grinding there with 300% loot buff>lower caphra drop than other spots, the ONLY good drop there is the endtimes crystals that drops like 3-5 per h and you need like a thousand of themThis spot sucks, they would need to buff the droprate like 4 times for it to be any good. Once your agris is gone (which will happen fast) the silver per hour is really really bad.
>>1923638sure but i can't get the BON edania crystal from any other spot
First boss is kinda meh.
Considering if it's worth popping a Blessing of Kamasylve for the energy during this Patrigio event
this game is so miserable nowadays... where did it all go wrong
>>1924008>nowadaysWhat changed? You kill a bunch of monsters, buy a bunch of blue rocks then ding your gear up(hopefully)
>>1924008Pve players got the game they deserve
>>1924053this, unfortunately
>>1923638kuno is the only high apm class that gets good trash. this is a skill issue.

>>1924882The danger and risk were always over-exaggerated.>"Oh no a white dot is rapidly approaching" >*server hops*

>>1924053I can't believe there were PvE sloppers that wanted gear that couldn't be sold on the CM. They hate variety and want everyone to suffer from RNG
>>1925127Got my sub sov from scratch to hex using 15k crons, then pittied my oct earring wasting 71k crons.RNG is a bitch
>>1925344When did you start cronning the sub?I pushed mine to tet raw tapping but it ate like 200 primordial stones.
Are they really aiming for the whole Edania part 2 to be exclussively for hardcapped players?Wasn't dec weapons supposed to be something for min-maxers that you can't realistically get?Even hardcore players will never get to like 395 AP
>>1925482you're supposed to grind the new crystals including the +7 dawns and BON Edania
>>1925566does not make any difference when the content (boss) is sheet AP/DP locked.If that map they showed is correct and they don't change it, Caphras boss is 395 AP. That's literally full DEC. I'm not certain but I doubt more than 100 peaople worldwide are full Dec.. What are they smoking at PA?
>>1925665they lost too much money chasing garbage so now they're milking usthey want you to buy enhancement packs and lootboxes to progress
>>1925741They have like 5 different projects and not one came out yet. They made two FFXIV expansions no one liked.Completely destroy PvP and scare players away forever so they could cater to Asmongold and a playerbase that doesn't exist. Now they're gating upgrading purely through enhancing rather than allowing for the central market and making grinding the only way to get a reasonable amount of silver.
>>1925107The most historically accurate statement ever
>>1925874>Completely destroy PVPThe playerbase couldn't be happier!
>>1925890The same 'playerbase' who then left the game after playing barely any of the game since they couldn't deal with not putting everything on the hotbar?

PA really heard the fetid pile of garbage nu-In Flames makes and felt inspired by it, they even named the song after the band https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RhUHMfaFPc
Got a couple of boss armours from Patrigio a little while back for ~250 mil, meaning I could sell them for a nice profit as-is. I could enhance them for a bigger profit since I have all the materials and failstacks, but there seem to be far more already enhanced ones on the marketplace, and their prices are all dropping so base might be the way to go?
>>1926040Oh no
>>1926082Base boss armor is most useful to make concentrated boss aura, which is needed to craft blackstar weapons. If you're far away from needing sovereign offhand and plan on buying two PEN blackstars instead of enhancing them yourself then I guess you could sell them, but they're really rare drops and preorders rarely fill on the MP when you actually need them. A couple hundred mil is basically nothing.The enhanced ones on the marketplace have been sitting for years, because nobody enhances boss gear to pen anymore, and you can't melt it down so it sits uselessly.
>>1924828Kuno awakening anon, and succ kuno only get good trash at SOME spots.
Does species-specific damage no longer bypass softcaps?
>>1926468Sadly that is the case now. Just treat it as normal ap if you trying to reach caps, no point going past caps even with that.
>>1926123bdo needs good writers firstcorpos seem to think you can just slot anyone in the role and call it a day
>>1926040I don't hate this new track but yeah it doesn't suit the game at all, and the O'dyllita soundtrack is some of the best music in the game
Don't mind if I do, thanks Patrigio
holy shit kek look at this creatura

>Agris application X What does this mean? I'm reading the agris changes on BDFoundry and some mobs just say "Agris application X" instead of an actual number. Some mobs went from "Agris application X" to an actual number after the changes
We're so back.
I dunno the hate Nagas get. It's a decent spot. 2.2b in trash loot with agris, 2.7b per hour when no debo drops.
>>1928111>with agrisand you use 30k agris in 1h.
>>1928111BDO players are always rushing to make judgements on new content and it's almost always premature. New grindspots and such need time to settle, time for the playerbase to figure out and become competent at them before the results are compared to existing spots.
>>1928149>spot has no real mechanics>"s-spot is good people just need to learn it!"
>>1928111I hate NAGGARS, I do like killing them though.
>>1928130It eats around 25k per hour once you kill fast enough for 4 boss phases per hour. You need that much agris for every late game and end game spot, they even raised the agris consumption on Dehkia Crescent and Cadrys just so it's equal with the rest. >>1928149You see, I'm gonna be honest with you, the spot has barely any mechanics. You kill one camp, the next one spawns and you repeat the cycle. Around the 7 minute mark, a camp spawns with only trickster nagas, I think it's there to show you that you are halfway there for the boss spawn, since they don't do anything differently. At 15 minutes the boss spawns and starts the fish phase, which is a safe time to horse stack or maid the trashloot. The only real filter of the spot is to reach the AP caps with attack speed crystals and deep sea perfume, which most people can't do that consistently and are going back to dokkebi or the other Edania spot. You also can't overclear the spot, if you kill the first camp faster, you just wait on the second camp to spawn, so unless they change something about the spot in the next patches, I think the spot is capped at 20k trashloot for all classes.
>>1928157hmm maybe debbeki is an exception then as that only eats 13-14k an hour. I will have to test more spots.
>>1928157> You need that much agris for every late game and end game spotNo it doesn't, debbeki eats way less.And you said you got 500m in not-debo drops, list them please.
>>1927999sucubbus fishnets rape sex trips
>>1928158I will try dokkebi out of curiosity again tonight, haven't been there with proper gear after the AP rework. >>1928177320% droprate. 2.68b after the 220m consumable cost deduction.
>>1928188>counting stuff that doesn't sell on the MPdishonest
>>1928189>doesn't sell on the MPDo you take days off from being retarded?
>>1928188>counting a full hour of agris when you can't even use an hour of agris per day>counting rng carried drops of something that sits on the MP>still only got 2.6bNow do a sessions without agris and when you don't have RNG carried drops of something that won't sell in the mp
>>1920338Sweet jesus..
>>1928188how'd you find the mob damage considering you are well under the dp requirement?
>>1928361Sheet DP doesn't matter THAT much anymore if you have high APIf you're way over the AP cap you just trade out AP crystals for DR and HP crystals.
>>1928158>>1928177Tried Dokkebi, you were right, it eats only 14k agris per hour. But I didn't feel pleased with the spot. Sure it dropped a 700m BON and a faint origin, but the BONs are rare and the blue origins are actually unsellable. Still, 1.5b in trash loot is not bad.>>1928223>when you don't have RNG carried dropsIf I wanted to shill the spot, I'd post an actually carried hour with 2 Deboreka earrings. If you think an hour with 2-4 drops worth 100m silver is carried, I don't know what to tell you.>>1928361I use AoA so that cancels out Mystic's passive. The only thing that can be potentially dangerous is the Naga boss, but he is so slow and his attacks are so telegraphed that after a couple fights, you won't ever get damaged by him ever again. The rest of the spot is basically harmless as long as you are hitting them. You can't sit afk and reply to emails mid-grind, but the harmony's sustain on top of your class' passives should be enough to facetank both the mobs and the contamination debuff the spot has.
>>1928418>If you think an hour with 2-4 drops worth 100m silver is carried, I don't know what to tell you.According to the average drop rate on the spot, yes 4 origin drops is carried.I have no idea why you are even trying to shill such a bad spot.
>>1928285cute
might as well put in my 2cents on aetherion castle. was about 25k agris an hour and just kind of all around not good compared to older easier spots. First hour was the only one the entire thing didn't bug out. I would rec avoiding the spot until they fix the bugs on it. (unstable spirits won't spawn on some servers and spots, the energy ball thing doesn't proc properly always). With it bugging out you lose out on a ton of trash loot.

Did PA give a date for the improvement to the Alchemy Stone system? I have lots of metal to use but I'm trying to be patient.
>>1928935If anything, the existing god-tier destruction alchemy stones actually got buffed because of every zone now having a 5% softcapThat extra ~3 to 5% attack speed is infinitely better than the sheet ap on a Vell's now.
>>1929000I agree, that's why I want to push for one now but if Cron protected growth attempts and even just a better UI for recharging and polishing is around the corner then it's best I wait.
Imagine stopping the beloved Elvia, something that recycled assets, to burn money turning the game into a theme park story game with resource hungry empty map that the playerbase is completely unengaged with. Edania should've released in 2026 and we should've gotten Elvia Mediah and Valencia instead.
Man the playerbase will really love this!!!!

Looks like Caphras are starting to rise in price again, I still need 9k which is 20bil right now for the Sovereign Subweapon but I'm not sure if I should buy them now or wait for a bigger drop. I have 40 bil silver, the leftover 20 bil would be ~7k Crons, plus the free 10k and what I have already that's almost 20k Crons if I spend everything, which should be decent for enhancing the Sovereign Subweapon to TET, perhaps PEN if I'm lucky. Or I could grind Dehkia Thornwood some more, hope they drop in price further but also buy fewer since that spot drops like 140/h.
>>1930554when do you play the game and stop doing glorified spreadsheet office work?

If drop rate didn't cap at 300% I could reach 800%, 900% on Arsha so could be 1000% with Hot Time. I think that should be an event some time.

Did I mess up getting 2 market maids guys?
>>1930813You're fine. They are useful. You'll get more of each later.
>>1925993I blame FFXIV trannies. Japanese devs started putting in cringe like that, and everyone else started following suit.
>>1926040>>1926123I hate metalniggers. This is slop and doesn't need to be in BDO. FF14 players are a plague on this genre.
>>1931035nice, I saw online that people usually have a 5 to 1 ratio between storage and market maids, is that true?
Am I the only one that thinks that Very High looks much cleaner and overall better graphically than the "higher" settings? Sometimes less is more as they say. Ultra and Remastered feels like they simply cranked every possible post processing effect to 11. The amount of tiny particles on every explosion and attack that makes it so you can't see anything that's happening is actually hilarious. And Very High doesn't melt my GPU and makes it crank the fans to 100% all the time like those two do.
>>1931052Make a ratio that suits your playstyle.More storage maids helps with raw weight management for times where you might not have a horse to stack your trashloot on when grinding. Maybe you'll want enough to be able to swap a full gear set between characters without tagging.More transaction maids helps with inventory management of certain nonstackable items like dawn crystals or the life/destruction spirit alchemy stones.For reference, I'm at 35 storage and 22 transaction maids. Grinding with agris sometimes strains my storage maids because the LT from the trashloot is more than my maids can handle per 20min cooldown.
>>1930813Nah, having a few market maids is a good QoL to have. >>1930558>>1930570You can minmax as much as you want. There are people who make billions just by minmaxing spreadsheet autism and playing the stock market gameplay. That's the beauty of BDO, you can do whatever you want and still see progress.
>>1931058I like the particles because I just PVE.
>Some of Edania part 2 knowledge already leaked because they left the information in the updateUploaded to BDOCodex. Still don't know shit about Caphras.
>>1929622too much
>>1931091Cool.
>new spots are so bad everyone is grinding the old ones even if they have enough AP>the castle winners were just doing cheesy DP build and didn't even fightWas Edania a failure?
>>1931296Kinda dumb to still be grinding old spots if you can do nymph/orbita.Endtime crystals won't be sitting on the market for a very long time, and grinding for them leads to much faster upgrades(upgraded khara crystals and lightstones) compared to grinding another 200b+ of crons if you're at that point.
>>1931306Why do you need the endtime crystals to upgrade your gear to grind lower spots?They will for sure buff and rework the edania zones and make it easier to get the endtime crystals.So it's better to just grind older zones that gives more silver than spend 300h grinding a shit zone that requires way more investment and sweat for those crystals.
>>1931313What? Orbita is a fuckton of silver. It's comparable with Orzekea if not better, while being mechanically easier. Just requires higher stats.There's harder content and zones coming out in like 2 weeks with other stuff to grind(boosters for kabua and dehkia artifacts)Aside from that I don't get your point in this post. At the start you said "to grind lower spots" then at the end you mention it "requires way more investment"Do you have the gear or not? If you do, why would you not want to progress it and make far easier upgrades?
>>1931324Because you need to pop buffs for 300m to do a single session retard. Are you the same retard that defended nymph?
>>1931328Go on and quantify that buff difference if you want to make that claim.
>>1931337Oh it is you, guess I can just ignore you then.
>>1931341Zero argument, no backing of your own statements, just accusing me of being someone else.What a fucking moron. You probably just came in here to hate on the game in general because you don't even have the gear to do any of these new zones, proven by >>1931296>everyone is just grinding the old onesYou don't even have an opinion of your own because you can't do the zones, you just outsourced your own opinion to the masses.
>>1931347didn't read lmao
>>1931296>new spots are so bad everyone is grinding the old ones even if they have enough API don't know what you are smoking but I'd want some too. Coral Nagas is a 2.3b per hour spot with agris, Orbita is a 3b per hour spot with agris. These are according to garmoth, which isn't saying much because these are averages at 200% droprate, most people stacked on event items and LoML foods grind at 320%, and well geared players that are at the AP caps of these zones pull more than the garmoth's averages. Orzekea is a maid-gated grindspot unless you go in there and grind without agris and at this point you are making shit money anyways.>the castle winners were just doing cheesy DP build and didn't even fightMet one today at Coral Nagas, the guy was close to hardcap and was doing drive-bys on whoever was grinding at the spot. Managed to drop him down to 50% before I even realized I was getting ganked, he dived into the mob camp I was grinding. I wouldn't be amazed if he "won" the title in an arranged fight along with his Discord friends.>>1931328>Because you need to pop buffs for 300mThe only difference in my buffs between Orzekea and Orbita would be the furniture buff scroll. That's 35m silver per hour in spots where you earn 2b+ per hour. I dunno what else you use in your buffs to reach 300m silver in consumables.
Newsflash. If you have the gear to grind Orbita then you have effectively no gameplay left. What's the gear for, huh? More grinding? Grinding for what? More gear to grind? There's no reason to do the highest end spots once you have the gear threshold to be there. If anything, you should be posing the very real question of:>what is the endgame, because it is NOT the final grindspots, those simply result in a player having access to the most income and ability to enhance their already good gear to be even better>WHY?Either fix PvP incentives or sunset the game. Based off the theming of Edania - they're choosing the latter.
>>1931372>What's the gear for, huh? More grinding? Grinding for what? More gear to grind?Babby's first mmo
>>1931365>with agrisYou can't even grind 1h per day with agris on that spot, retard
>>1931376No, this is an inversion of the game's original vision. Spot and resource control has turned into a gigantic aimless themepark.
>>1931378You know you don't have to grind every day, right?
>>1931387>you can only grind max 4h per week at the spot>and that's a good thing!
Why do you even play this game?
Are you having fun?
>>1931439Agris recharges by 20k points every day. If you grind 1 agris hour per day burning 25k points per hour, it will take you around 2 weeks of consistent 1 agris hour per day till you are empty, assuming you start from today with 100k points. If you want to grind more than that first hour, and choose to grind Orzekea without agris, be my guest. If you are happy with 1.2b in trashloot for every non-agris hour there, who am I to judge? Usually if I want to play more than that dedicated agris hour, I go do some lifeskills. Some gathering spots and the only sniper hunting spot can bring in way more than a non agris hour at your Orzekea.
>>1928740I can smell them.
>>1931296I can only do the first spot and it's really buggy but besides that not a terrible spot. I will do it more if they fix it.
>>1931376Old grindy gookmmos actually let you feel a tangible difference in upgrading gear though. Was it balanced or healthy for these games? I honestly have no clue, probably not, it probably contributed to the overall p2w environment. Did it feel good though when you personally made progress? Yeah, quite a bit. Going from 750gs to 800 gs in BDO changes absolutely nothing for spots you already meet AP caps for.
>>1931372>sunset the gamewhat exactly does this mean in the context of BDO?
>>1931935Cease updates and mark servers for closure. Push people out by letting it be known it's coming to an end. As regions drop below thresholds lock them closed, disable account creation, shut down support services. Mainly slow roll it to ensure people who bought the time-oriented pearl items can't make a solid case for being sold time they can't access (they might already be doing this with the decreasingly available sub packs from event to event). I wouldn't be surprised if once Crimson is out BDO will be lined up against the wall and put down. Replacement MMO? No, you'll get some parallel arena / GTA mode in Crimson's online component.
>>1931976Why would they willingly nuke their only cash cow? They're not going to be able to sell p2w cron boxes in Crimson Desert.
>>1931980Divestment. Shareholders don't care about a company - they care about its profitability. You're thinking in terms of internals. That's not how modern companies run.
>>1931986You're talking about what you personally think PA should do with the game though
>>1931372sad, but true there's not much left to look forward to, the engine can't handle much gameplay beyond nuking packs of mobs, you are grinding in circles just to grind in circlesall their best devs are on other projects, they're squeezing as much money as they can out of the remaining playerbase before the well runs drywhat's left, the story nobody pays attention to? they're speedruning the rest of the story, which wasn't very good to begin with, you'd think they'd use some of their billions on good writers, but nothey clearly want to move on to crimson desert or dokev and it shows
>>1932048You're right, I am not an insider. I don't actually want to see the game die...I just think it may be seriously running out of reason for being. Not even a nostalgia thing, the MMO scene has been in hospice for years.
>>1932144The only reason I don't fully agree with you is because I'm hoping PA abandons all of their other irrelevant lame projects when they're done with CD, but that's just me coping. Then again I still don't have much faith in PA to actually improve BDO with the way they design the new classes and how they pretty much handle the game in general. They've gotten really good at throwing bones to the playerbase without addressing core issues, that's about all I can say. I think so much knowledge and a lot of the original vision has been lost over time that it's pretty much impossible for them to do BDO over again but good from the start this time. They don't have close to the same mentality they did when they first made the game. At this point I'm not even sure if OG bdo but actually good would be a success because the demographic of people who play video games has radically changed in the past decade.
Also I gotta say, CD is starting to look extremely soulful and I'm getting more excited with every reveal. I don't think I'd be opposed to a BDO2 having the same combat system if it means better functionality.

>they just keep buffing zerkWhen are they going to completely gut awakening berserker? Disgusting perma protected with THREE fully protected grabs, INSANE ranged damage that rivals an archer with class buff and bsr buff, better than like 90% of melee classes, probably some of the best and most desyncy mobility in the game that's for some reason constantly available. Literally gets like 30% more trash loot in pve than all other classes because he does so much damage. And they buff him. EVERY. SINGLE. WEEK.
Bait or retard? Call it.
>>1935438Most broken class in the game PA please keep giving him retarded changes/nerfs disguised as buffs instead of more PVE damage so he can actually grind decently. I love seeing him get slandered for no reason other than because succ zerk exists. If you surveyed the entire playerbase you'd find that at least 70% of them think awakening berserker is the second most busted insane meta FOTM class to ever exist and that it doesn't deserve any buffs.
>>1935485The people who actively pvp on awak claim that right now he's basically in a state where you use 2-3 skills, run away and repeat because he's so unprotected that prolonged melee is a deathwish
>>1935428>with THREE fully protected grabsJust dodge lmao they're telegraphed now
>>1935500It's true, he's in a pathetic state right now. I don't pvp on it anymore, I just play awakening dosa in large scale now, it's basically the same thing but way better. Doesn't rely on grabs, his ranged actually nukes, isn't loaded with useless outdated skills, can survive in melee and can play like a rat class. Almost every awk zerk player I know hard rerolled to awk dosa because of that. I don't even care about getting pvp buffs all I wanna do is be able to at least grind on it but basically any other class is better besides succession valk. He straight up has no fucking pve damage outside of his fg cannon split shot cancel combo and his rabams. Ticklefest and snugglestation just exist to buy time for cooldowns. I mostly grind on awakening maehwa and succession tamer now but sometimes I grind on him here and there. I think removing mm was a good thing but it was very bad for awakening zerk specifically. Succession zerk will be fine, he will always be fine and obnoxious to fight but awakening zerk had to crutch hard on mouse move just to position himself enough to stay protected since his mobility is shit, and he was never good in pve except for one spot that sucks now. He needs to be completely reworked from the ground up, he's the oldest clunkiest class in the game and PA has no clue what to do with him. They should take notes from bdo mobile.
>>1935672>awakening maehwaVery nice bro I've been playing her on and off but getting far more frequent, she's only got my alt gear ~600 GS but even doing low level spots I'm having great fun
>>1935698She feels really good right now, especially with the way they design new grind spots now. Was a meme class for years and she's gotten pointless random nerfs in the past 8 months but grinding on her is nice and comfy.

So what's the consensus, has Edania (part 1) been a good update? At least they're finally helping out mid game players so they don't have to stay at Honglim Jail for as long.
>>1936954The quest is typical R-spam and grindzones are good. A bit too much 100 shard piecing together of stuff but alright aside from that.My only real complaint is that you can't start working on the new purple armors if you have any gold accessories still, even if you're way over the required stats to challenge the bosses.
>>1936954It's alright but, like Ulukita, it's a really empty continent and there's not much going on. I kinda miss when they took the small stuff into account when making a new region.
>>1936954>more content for lifeskillers>more grindspots for grinders>more stuff to grind and the pities to craft the sovereign aren't timegated like the first 2 sovereigns>top 2 grindspots are going to crash deborekas in the foreseeable future, making accessories cheaper for everyone>pvpfags can jerk eachother off in their circus of a competition for the thrones with their DP builds or max HP builds and see who can survive the circle DoT more since no one wants to fight each other>throne winners can freely flag up on their governed grindspots with no penalties>server-wide +100% droprate that stacks with everything in the best grindspots unless the throne owners are niggers and never pop them, but the more often they pop them, the more money they get from marni taxThey gave each portion of the playerbase exactly what they wanted, and people are still complaining. At this point I can't say for certain if people fall for the doomposters' shitposting, or simply complain for the sake of it.

>>1937109>pvpfags can jerk eachother off in their circuslegitimately 99% of pvpfags will never ever experience the fight for the edania crown lol. that's not an exaggeration, most pvpfags aren't grinding this game because there is no realistic option for pvp on demand outside of aos which they don't need to grind for. the edania crown is LITERALLY designed for whales, how the fuck can you say PA gave the pvp playerbase what they wanted when most of them don't even have gear>They gave each portion of the playerbase exactly what they wantedno, they only gave pve players what they wanted and they're still unhappy, pve only players can never be satisfied. this game isn't designed to satisfy people who only want to hit mobs forever and do nothing else with the gear other than hit mobs harder. lifeskillers and pvpers want changes and content that isn't fucking retarded and tone deaf to how the game actually works. try to be less dishonest in your assertions next time
>>1937807>legitimately 99% of pvpfags will never ever experience the fight for the edania crownliterally 30 players per region
>>1937807their main priority is funneling everyone to unbuyable gear and gambling with enhancement, then incentivizing them to reach the highest GS possible so they can more easily pressure everyone into buying cronsbdo under PA was supposed to be less p2w, less monetization bloat, not morethis will 100% backfire and they might not survive this time
>>1937948and that's a good thing! the pvp playerbase should be happy that there's more timegated one hour a week pvp content that barely anyone can do, right????? isn't that what pvpers play bdo for? to grind millions of hours to maybe qualify in a pvp mode they can only do once a week where the person who's most likely to win is the one who hides on the tallest structure???
>>1938045>to grind millions of hours topvpers dont grind thothey pinoy
>>1938109there's literally nothing to pinoy for in 2025 if you enjoy bdo pvp. pinoys are getting paid by pure pver cron lovers who got the game they deserved and would still rather whale than play the game themselves. modern bdo is exactly the game it's supposed to be according to the new playerbase it serves.
>>1937807>legitimately 99% of pvpfags will never ever experience the fightThat has always been the case for uncapped pvp. Back in Kakao days they were hosting uncapped 1vs1 pvp tournaments where just as you said, 99% of the pvpers couldn't even get in due to gearscore restrictions, so the top 16 was made up with whales and streamers who also whale. And that's exactly why no one bothers with uncapped pvp. You either spend enough money that could buy an apartment or you are out. >lifeskillers and pvpers want changes and content that isn't fucking retarded and tone deafLifeskillers have been fine with 1 sniper hunting spot and 3 worthy gathering spots that could potentially compete money wise with top tier grindspots. Not to mention the fishers. As for the pvpers, I don't remember a single time in the game's history where the majority of the pvpers were happy. Capped or uncapped, node wars or guild league, open world ganks or arranged duels, it was always the same, always a reason to blame.
>>1915940nigga what are you talking aboutalso on that topic both the steam client itself and bdo launched via official launcher both run flawlessly on win 7 ultimate 64xaerochads rise up

>>193873216 trades and 16 preorders for the horns, 17 trades and 12 preorders for the full outfit, so yeah I think that's a good idea thanks. Not sure why I didn't think of that myself.
I want to read the story but I heard that some parts of it are still missing rewrite, and contradict past and future quests. Is it true?
>>1938818The story already wasn't very good in Korean, then it took a bad pass through translators and localizers.There's a reason why everyone just R-spams through it.
>>1938818It made no sense to me, just gook nonsense.
>>1938818>the storyOnce...there wasn't things...but then....gods decided there should be. It was good for a time...but then it wasn't....Many bad things happened but then the good guys sealed the bad away forever (temporarily)...Now the good have all died from old age and the bad is back in town...We're gonna kill god, I guess.
>>1938818koreans can't write, the best they can do is some disjointed aggrandized lore, which would work far better in the hands of good writers, but of course every single quest has to be miserable to read and go through
>>1938818The replies in this are so funny, as a former FFXIV player which is a game praised for it's story I honestly don't even see much of a difference between the two and I'd even say this game is better since it at least puts int the effort to voice 99% of the NPCs.
>>1938818it fucking sucks lol. the lore itself is actually really cool and there are a lot of awesome concepts but the way it's presented is awful and will always be awful. needs a new game or a giant all-in-one overhaul to do it right imo>>1939525i don't even play xiv and the only reason i know it has a "better" story is because of the presentation. you are literally forced to sit down and watch it. with no r spam the story is guaranteed to capture at least some people, and with it being squenix even if you don't care much about storylines in games there's bound to be at least one cutscene that brings it all together for someone. also the real worldbuilding was established like a decade ago in xiv and has the gift of a million other final fantasy games to reference from. bdo only just started focusing on its story and lore like 3 years ago, before that it didn't know what it wanted to be and PA still seems pretty confused about the kind of world they wanna build.
>>1932209If it has sex scenes like Witcher 3 then I will play it. If not, then fuck off, it was a waste of money and they should have just spent it on BDO.
>>1931976They won't sunset BDO like that, that's just throwing away money. They'll continue to try to keep it alive, but they won't go out of their way and take risky and big bets if it starts to die. But what is clearly obvious, and I think you've rightfully observed, is that they think the MMORPG model is doomed (and it is). So they're chasing the next WoW.Not many know this, but GTA 5 makes more through shark card sales alone than FFXIV and WoW combined every year. It's not even a fucking MMO. And here's the biggest part. Because the game is primarily peer-2-peer, they have next to NO SERVER COSTS. That is fucking massive for cost cutting. Those Rockstar cunts don't spend a dime on servers except for authentication and account data. They let hackers run rampant and barely do shit. They just print more money than the 2 biggest titans while also having 1/10th the server cost, if even. This is PRECISELY why Crimson Desert is going to have a "GTA Online like multiplayer model". Why are they creating such a massive fucking world for a single player game? They are positioning this to be their next sustaining cash cow, but with an MO-lite model, like GTA, but with their own tweaks. It's infinitely cheaper because you don't need any server costs, and if people whine about cheaters it's not your (Pearl Abyss') problem.
>>1938024their stock tanked 25% in one day. they have to milk everybody to show their investors that they still got it
>>1938814I mean, my guess was that people are probably more willing to sell full boxes than piecemeal outfit bits, seeing that if people were quitting a class for good they'd just melt their pearl costumes than resell them.
>>1939646I have 3500 hrs in FF14 and honestly the story in this is much more compelling and interesting than "oh no some tribes of monsters are praying to these being that are coming to life please help us kill them". The only interesting part of the FF14 story is the few cutscenes that happen just at the end of the expansion to hook you into the next one after 400 hours of forced dialogue that everyone tells you NOT to skip through. Omg they tried to overthrow the government, framed it on us, the big guy lost his arm and we need to escape to a new country that happens to be where the next expansion is at awooooga I love this deep storytelling omfg!!! OMG this dude that we talked to a couple times and was kinda gay towards us just sacrificed himself for no reason omg I'm so sadge!! THIS STORY IS SO GOOD WTF!!!!!
>>1939923But I do agree that FFXIV has the natural boost of standing on top of decades of world building and storytelling, which is why people act like it's better than it actually is. They have some more care to the presentation since it's a "Main Final fantasy game" and the Japanese are very prideful but the actual content of the story is pretty middle of road in terms of quality.
>>1939525>>1939646The story is fine, even good by Korean standards. BDO just attracts more players that are the type to skip it and then say the story isn't good, even though they never actually engaged with it. That's fine, but it's disingenuous because it gives the wrong impression to those who would actually care enough to read it.
>>1939932Yeah, I see this a lot with asian MMOs. A lot of the players are "I'll skip the story because I heard it's bad" who turn into "trust me bro just skip the story like I did it's bad anyway". In the end no one plays it xD. Trust me, there's a reason that there are so many girls playing this game. If the story wasn't good they wouldn't be here.
Any of you looking forward to Savior?
>>1939932That's why I say it's a problem with the presentation. Even if you don't R spam through everything it still leaves much to be desired for. BDO doesn't have a deep embedded history compared to something like final fantasy or wow and it doesn't even try to present it as well as they do. It doesn't have iconic characters, no one really cares about illezra or patrigio's fleshlight. No one cares about dk except because she's hot, she's no sylvanas. Even guild wars has done a better job of establishing a coherent world that gives lorefags a lot to chew on. If it was actually good then it would have a reputation for being good, but it doesn't.
>>1939932delusional lmao, people care more about runescape's lore for crying out loud
Man, fuck your edania rocks, forget efficiency, I'm gonna crack open a cold one, hop on a ferry and fish until my inventory is full

>>1939965>mmo boomers from a generation where people still read know about the lore in a game from that eravs>mmo for ADHD zoomers with ultra flashy and fast paced musou combat don't bother to read any of the storybdo did it to themselves, but that doesnt mean their story sucks more than any other mmo. be honest
>>1939960That's where Crimson Desert could have helped get people into the broader X Desert universe. It was supposed to be a prequel that could tie into the story of Black Desert now. Instead of just a pivot to a single player, it completely made a separate story within the "same world, different continent". So Pearl Abyss screwed up. They could have grabbed some people invested in the universe from that game, bringing some players over to here. Now that won't happen.
>>1939982>tfw pearl abyss isnt a multi billion dollar company>tfw market cap of entire company in 2024 dipped below billion>tfw yearly revenue is 250 million>tfw epic games makes 6 billion a year from fortnite alone>tfw ncsoft makes 1.5 billion a year>tfw nexon makes 3 billion a year>tfw netmarble makes 1.9 billion a year>tfw krafton makes 1.9 billion a year>tfw even kakaos shiddy gaming division alone makes more than poopy abyss

New anon here, just hit 60 bros and I have a couple questions. Should I graduate right away? My autistic MMO addiction instinct tells me to keep grinding in the season server for a couple more levels, would that be a waste of time? Also, is there anything I should do before graduating and can I create a new season character as soon as this one is not a season character anymore for free or do I need to buy a season character ticket on the mileage shop?
>>1943502You should make sure you've upgraded all your tuvala gear to pen before graduating. After that it's kind of up to you though no harm hitting 61 before graduating as it's faster on season servers. Eventually you'll want to graduate so you can start grabbing your free upgrades like the free blackstar and pen boss armor
>>1943502they grow up so fast
For the retard that said earlier that these sell like crazy... how long will it take for me to get them sold?
>>1943806i made mine into the complete 50/50 piece and it sold in 3 days
>>1943806Who the fuck knowsJust leave them listed and forget about it
>>1943502Before graduating:>Main story quest completed up to Mediah>Hit lvl 62>All tuvala gear to PEN (DO NOT USE CRONS, just brutforce it to PEN)>season pass completedGraduate.Post graduate Checklist:Do you enjoy the char:NO>Do the Magnus quest so you can teleport around and access your storage from anywhere>complete the Bartails Adventure log and the 10 year anniversary log >>1920175 for dome extra stats.>Start a new seasonal you can now pl that via the short quest and some bonuses to 61 in 2-3h.

HP pot and a fairy with continues care IV or V. So just farm what ever spot you can>DO NOT UPGRADE YOUR ARMOR OR WEAPONS using the old "guaranteed way" THIS IS A TRAP and 2-3x as expensive as buying it from the market!!!! As soon as you have some money buy some DUO Fallen God armor pieces it doesn't matter what you get even the cheapest BASE one is a big upgrade but they all crashed.>Even the tet guaranteed Khara accessory is questionable as you can buy a tet debo Neck for 12b that will turn into a PEN Khara and give you a 3b +4AP crystal while you spend roughly 9b on the guaranteed and won't get the crystal.That should be 3-8 weeks
>>1944437You are a legend, that is exactly all the information I was looking to get and more. Right now after reaching the "max level" and finishing all my initial goals it's easy to get the feeling of "mission accomplished" and stop playing. You gave me a boost to keep going the game and new goals to reach. This Ninja is definitely a character I enjoy, the awakening is as fun and in depth as I expected it to be so I'll definitely keep it as a main. I'm thinkin Archer as a secondary character, thoughts? I'm thinking that having ranged character with a different playstyle from Ninja will be a good way to keep me playing and interested in the game. Thank you again anon.
>have +2 Slumbering Origin armor in each slot>gibmedats questline for +3Suppose that leaves me with pawning off an existing piece; should the pick just be the helmet or chest? Seems like there's a ton of boots given its more expensive flame, while the gloves have a piss easy one to get anyway.
>>1942290Yeah I know... it looks like PA knows that and thats why their new engine has significantly improved pop-in and also has seamless transition from gameplay to cutscene, and also just far better motion capture. I heard they made a capture studio with 150 cameras, which is 70 cameras higher than Ubisoft's 80, and on par with Capcom's 150 as well. It's legit world class for video games apparently... if only it was for BDO...
>>1943806They did, for the first week. Then everyone got the guaranteed Silent armor from DEC Tuvala and at the same time they realized they won't need better armor until they have the AP to go to Orzekea or Aetherion Castle. Grind a full stack, list it, and forget it. Maybe they will sell in a month, maybe sooner than that. For the love of God, you have enough gear to grind Edania, don't cry for 1 billion in drops that don't sell instantly...
>>1944896NO I MUST CRITICIZE NYMPHOMARE FOR NOT BEING THE BEST SPOT
>>1944896The big issue is that it's way cheaper to buy a tri than to make one even using these instead of crons. That's without even considering you can sell your old duo as well. It's just a hilariously bad deal to enhance them duo to tri.
>>1944991>>1944896>uhmm yeah I told you before they sold like candy... but they actually don't GONNA CRY ABOUT IT CHUDNah I just go back to grind old spots and get more silver/h
>>1945033>The big issue is that it's way cheaper to buy a tri than to make oneThat was always the case, even before Edania release. Same goes for every piece of gear, btw. The problem is someone has to tap them. Using the Edania drops for DUO to TRI taps is 1b cheaper per tap than using blacksmith crons, so it's a step towards the right direction. I hope they lower the armor pities though, just like they did with blackstars and godr, because maxing out pity trying to tap a Silent, even with the cheaper taps is going to cost 100b.
>nerf forest furys droprate from the secret spot>nerf pit of undying so players can't get as many free crons>remove character slot from loyaltiesI really wish someone would hack these fuckers or something so this game dies
>>1945104>spend 35 mins a week for 700 crons>spend 5 mins a week for 500 cronsPit of the Undying was buffed.
>>1945104it will die on its own from gook greed and incompetence
>>1945104This was the kind of changes I was getting at. They've slowly removed some of the more enticing loyalty purchases from the shop and the event rotations have all but ceased handing out sub packs of any kind. Increasingly feeling like this game is purposefully strangling its incoming flow of players and tightening the belt on the existing to the point only the most vehemently mazed into the suck-cost will stay...
Whats the gameplay loop look like at higher levels? Ive been levelling to 57 on a ranger and so far all Ive been doing is grinding away at pve camps solo which gets old fast. Am I doing something wrong or does the game take off after you graduate? PVP? Looking at a sexy girl is fun but it feels like thats all thats motivating me so far.
>>1945449that's the game, at higher levels though, mobs cannot be oneshot, you'll have to use full combos and keep in mind buffs and debuffs, hell you don't even have to move around the area since there's a lot of tower spots where mobs just come at you. There's also bosses and dungeons, but they're a once a week kind of deal, the bulk of pve "content" is hitting mobs.Alternatively, you can take up lifeskilling, fishing is nice since you can just afk overnight and make a billion silver or so if you have the magnus, or you can take up something more active like hunting
>>1945449Grinding is the game. You can either grind the many different monster spots or go pick flowers and join the pile of fishmongers on the beaches. The game is 99% solo climb with a minuscule amount of group activities at the so-called endgame. It shouldn't take you long to figure out if this is the game for you - because you're already experiencing the precursor to the main loops.
>>1945464>>1945474Do you think doing it with a duo makes it any better? Like in terms of xp rates is that worth it or should you really be solo?
>>1945485No, sadly, though having a friend around is a good way to keep each other playing and working towards the later game group stuff, limited as it is. Group grinding is only truly viable at places like Oluns. Guilds do weekly bosses and there's the PvP which I can't recommend to a newer player, so... Make of it what you will - grouping is handicap for general grinding unless the scenario was specifically made for it.
>>1945485Having a friend is nice because once you both have a character at 60+ with full pen tuvala(not hard to do at all) you can use that character to power-level each other's alt characters to try out new classes.
What should I go for next? I currently have 50b silver and 31k crons.Is clicking the TRI armors a suicide at this point?
>>1945590Use whatever free/costume crons you get on your weekly armor tap and any remainder on putting your sub-weapon at SEP(at sep and up you get +1ap AND +1dp) and just buy your TET armors.They're cheaper than ever right now.
>>1944437>>1944698>Get a fairy with continues careFucked that up continues care is nice to have but you're looking for miraculous cheer IV or V to auto use your infinite HP/Mana Pots every few seconds and will make any grinding so much easier.Anything else should be very much up-to-date for the new player experience to get into the early late game.Try out a lot of new classes, you want at least 5 lvl61 alts in full pen tuvala anyway to park at Garmoth and the 4 loml bosses so just try stuff. Archer is cool, also classes like Deadeye, Witch or Dosa feel really good and play very different. BDO is all about finding a class you feel comfy to use so my tip for any new player is try stuff before you commit on a main as you only have 1 chance to easy pick up two matching PEN BS weapons you can tun into a SOV that makes your char so much stronger from the get go.
>>1945590actually first time I see that chestpiece armor
>>1945527You don't need to do that anymore, you can power level yourself by using the tag exp system. It's pretty nice
>>1945590it's either your armor or your weapons, you should probably go for the armor.
>>1946101You can't tag a seasonal character iirc.
>>1946120Ah yea that's right, I stand corrected
>>1945590You need to find 9 DP to start doing the second boss for 2 taps per week. That should be your next goal imo. In the meanwhile, save your silver so you can buy a wailing or 2. You are at that point where going for more AP would cost you 100-200b per 1 AP, so you may as well fix your armor before that.

>>1947821Yeah and it's not even like they're locked in height. It's a really bizarre choice outside of maybe rigging, but they already have femboys and muscle girls.
>>1947821>gender lockThe classes are more or less meant to be their own characters for some reason, despite having one of the best character creator tools in a game for its time. Why Korea does this in an MMO especially of all things, I'll never know.
Can I just make a season character and get all the rewards, then delete my character and do it all again if I have season tickets available? I'm on my last character slot and they don't sell them in loyalty anymore so this one will be purely for season rewards.

>>1948947Nah they're also lazy
>>1948970nah they have a cracked team. bdo was technically amazing at launch, and the graphics update was amazing, unlike the lolkek joke that the ff14 "graphics update" was. their new games also show they have insane talent and work ethic. its not that theyre lazy to update bdo, they just dont care enough and are bored of working on a game for 10 years and want to do something new. sad but not unsurprising
>>1949011they moved the original bdo crack team to crimson desert which they're hoping will be bigger than bdo, this was known years agothe game is shit because PA cannot make good decisions
>>1949011bdo was very technically amazing at launch, but that og team hasn't been working on bdo since they started developing crimson desert. they make a lot of retarded decisions that make no sense at all, but I don't play other mmos so I have no other company to compare PA to.

>>1949421Is he really considered dogshit? Divios was playing him and looking impressive at Orbita, and being complimentary about the class. Mine is in LoML for the bosses and I find him okay, but I don't know the class well yet.
We should have a bit of a tournament for Black Shrines one week. We would have to fix the boss for example Golden Pig King, but even then I suppose some classes might inherently outperform others.
is there any alternative to DSR for a 750gs shitter? i'm tired of this spot
>>1949798What do you mean alternative? You can go grind wherever you want as long as you can survive there.
bdo is unplayable until the lord and Savior is released and saves the game (can't argue with that it's in the name)
>>1949798how the fuck are you grinding at dsr with that ap, surely you're not making much, right?
At this point I'm afraid to put in a pre order for Vell's Heart because I think Calpheon Ball they might give them out for free
>>1950216it's perfectly normal for 750gs to grind at dsr lol, ive seen people grind there somewhat efficiently with tuvala + 2x free pen blackstar
>>1950548Pre-patch yeah, I haven't seen gearlets doing well at dsr since then. Are you making like 18k trash loot an hour or something?
did PA remove the random lightning strikes that would sometimes hit your boat?
Remember what they took from you.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=980L6Wm8j_s
Endtimes should be able to gathered from Edania areas and a reward for Battlefield. Being forced to grind tower slop isn't fun.
>>1950776>Being forced to grind tower slop isn't fun.You're not forced to grind for them. You can place a preorder on the CM and get them after the rest of the playerbase already has all they need.
Post 'emThis was my first attempt at C8 and I only used food as a buff so I'm not surprised at the low score, my time was almost six and a half minutes
>>1949421Everyone hates China except China, yeah. Asians hate the Chinese doubly so.
grim the blue fish was also in the 300s
Garmoth needs his Health and DP multiplied by at least three or four times, the 'fight' is ridiculous right now
>>1950586Most people here started playing post covid, can't miss what you never had I suppose. I loved the riding themes so much, still don't know what prompted them to remove them entirely since they could be turned off in the settings entirely; this one's my favoritehttps://youtu.be/zXCzmWb-GiM
>>1952589They moved a lot of the riding themes to different places like character creation.https://youtu.be/QK0JNmrri0g?si=sQXGjwKYqmxDKMZb&t=585I really like the theme at 9:45 on that video. It used to play when riding around between Heidel and Altinova.The worst part is that a lot of these themes don't even have official names and aren't on any official soundtracks, so you can only find them by searching through whatever people have recorded of them and getting lucky finding the one you're looking for.
>>1952418can you shut up nigga, this isn't a boss fighting game. the hardest pve in the game is still "you gotta decide if you wanna be greedy and keep attacking, or dodge"
>>1952726>this isn't a boss fighting gameit will be soon, and you'll have to deal with that when it happens
>>1952726Nah fuck off mate, there have always been bosses in this game. There's absolutely no point in one that does nothing but take damage in between a few extended invulnerability periods. Bosses should be a challenge and have rewards to match.
>>1951102I've been getting extra lazy when it comes to solo boss rushes and just doing c5s and 4s to make them go faster
>>1952995I wish it'd save your ranking for group bosses.
>>1944437>Try to make your second PEN BS from the free 10bI just found out that I don't get the free 10b because I gave the game a real chance now but created my "family" a couple years ago when I bought the game so RIP.
Is this whole Fughar's timepiece thing to get an alt straight to lvl 61 still a thing guys? I don't see the quest on Fugharhttps://youtu.be/okxRCfeJI6w?si=St2nLAFCbMtZISez&t=1718
>>1953099There are in the radiant start boxes you get from your first seasonal graduation.
>>1953307That's huge
>>1952728>tfw everyone forgot the 100 floor pve dungeon coming with eternal winter 2we're getting the solo pve game the casuals whined for
>>1953519watch it be like 4 floors tops.

>>1953740Lame
>>1953831jej
>>1953831wtf is griefing back? and to afk fishermans in velia nontheless
>>1953740kek imagine how many crystals broke from this
we obviously need to ban grinding
>>1954268then what am I going to do while watching videos in my second monitor?
The ERP here is lame, I subbed to XIV again to get my fix.
I really hope they cancel blue battlefield and do something else
I hope they cancel it and do nothing else
>>1954791This is why XIV is a shit game. Niggas only sub to ERP lmao Literally Second Life 2
>>1954791the ERP scene died since a few years ago, I never run into random sessions anymore
I love triple floats so much
Why no one told me how easier they made Pit? Even the faggot Duran tells you what CC he is doing to you so you can do it to him and end the fight in 10 seconds.
>>1956231It got reworked some months ago as a weekly for 500 crons than 100 crons a day, so less tedious but also nerfed. Gotha Rensa is a bit more lenient too but I'm not sure if he goes right into an unwinnable state if you don't repeatedly use the right CCs.
>>1956231I always just spent 5 minutes killing him because I never learned the mechanics.
