>>2436095I never read the >What is BDO part of the OP before, didn't realize it was written by anon and not by developers or google. Very funny >guaranteed upgrade mechanics after you spend 4 times the item's worth and then they give the item away for free
I pitied a tet god armor once. Yup very fun and fulfilling.
barter money funded this
then i went on to pity a DEC khara with the remaining crons
Newb here, the beginning of the game is a little odd in places but having fun so far. While I'm avoiding using anything until I have an idea what it's about, is there any other early game stuff to keep in mind? Also, what does it mean if a class is on 'rotation' when you create a character? The one I picked had that over the box but I can't quite cotton to it's meaning
>>2436863>Also, what does it mean if a class is on 'rotation' when you create a character? The one I picked had that over the box but I can't quite cotton to it's meaningThe tag system lets you pick two characters who then share combat XP and (optionally) gear. The gear duping system is typically pretty expensive but its only 1 silver for a class that's on rotation.
>>2436863I'm pretty new myself but just in case you didn't find out yet, 2 basic things you should know:If you like questing, be sure to set the slider to "Show all quests" in the questlog!The game has thousands of quests, but they are invisible otherwise!There are about 20 different group chats! You can change the group chat in the chat menu.As a new player you probably also started in the "Lunar Inn" Chat, which can be pretty obnoxious sometimes...just so you know, there are alternatives.
>>2436095^_^ its kinda cool that you used my edit for the OP i thought it was forgotten ^_^
The Papu-Shai Alliance will conquer all
>>2438708Would...
>>2438708They will not survive the otterreich
>>2437276And you just had to start acting like a femboy faggot about it
>>2439255otters get teh butt-harpoon
>>2439208...and you should consider some serious asceticism to clear your depraved mind, adventurer!
>>2440294Fine by me, however long it takes so long as I get a papu wife at the end of my enlightenment.
>>2440367You will become that Fadus' wife instead.
Was thinking about rolling a tamer but that thing creeps me out
>>2440802Is a Tamer something like a hunter? Where you get a pet?There are some charas running around with giant white foxes(?), those are cool.I always thought those were tamers, but the foxes look nothing like that....thing....?
>>2442085tamer is a melee assassin. the pet comes from a skill you get at level 20.the white foxes are just the idle animation for maegu class, her fake pet is super confusing to new players
>>2439949imagine being happy as a grown ass man
guise i think im getting burnt out on this game a bit, how long do i gotta stay logged out before i get returning player value pack
>>2440802
YO...
dude it is insane how much money this game spits at you now. holy fucking shit this is nice
>>2442503>how much money this game spits at you>holy fucking shit this is niceThat's not even the hardcap btw.
>>2442522just log in 5 years later when they give dec sov for free
>>2442522the highest spot i can grind is orbita atm, i'm surprised at how much money i'm making there. i'm starting to hit the real brutal grind wall but even still i'm always surprised at how much silver and mats i end up with by the end of each week just from weeklies and all the free stuff from events. wasn't ever concerned with hitting hardcap gear but these days it feels really really easy to gear up, and i barely grind.
>>244243230 days
>>2442496Both teams get a retard new guy they have to carry
>>2443043yeah?
what do i do with the tens of thousands of raw ore and such from my workers buidling up in my storage
>>2443068sell it or process it or crate it unprocessed
>>2443068You can either sell the ore on the marketplace, process it into ingots and sell those on the marketplace, or get workers to craft ingots into trade crates in Valencia and then sell those in LoML. Trade crates are the best long term by a small margin as long as you invest in your trading lifeskill, selling Ingots on the marketplace is next best but needs an active VP and a bit more management, then selling the ore is by far the worst.Processing is a short-term AFK activity, and really you want the maid outfit to make it not tedious, then extra weight if you want to leave it for ages, but that last bit isn't super necessary if you do it whilst you're at your computer doing other things.
>>2443068processing mats for sale isn't worth it for you unless you're already seriously invested or on the path to becoming so just sell it raw unless you're really going devote a significant amount of your playtime to being lifeskills autist
>>2443133Selling it raw is a waste of time navigating UI + marketplace might as well hit mobs in that time and you'll make 5x more moneyThis is why I only get trace nodes/royal workshop
>>2443143well it takes seconds to throw it on the market so I guess, but yeah he should probably get better nodes for it if thats the way he's going (or just ignore it all)
>>2443155It only takes seconds for each, doing it for multiple items it will keep adding upAnd that is assuming you're doing it efficiently everytime you visit the marketplace for other things and you dont have a 100k+ stockpile of shit cause it will just get worse and worse the more you get
why is there 5 minutes of downtime before an aos match
>>2443854why is it best of 5 instead of best of 3
do i spend everything on 3k caphras
>>2444060Caphras are so easy to come by, I would say that's way near the bottom
>>2444060You get everything you need, dont graduate before you have it and just do the weeklyYou want the failstacks, the desperate crystal of origins, caphrass and sharps for sure
>>2444060You don't need to buy anything until you're actually ready to use it
tried black shrine todayI'm not doing that again
>>2444829Pussy
>>2444862>:(
>>2444863Whats your AP? Maybe you're doing the shitty sub 8 versions which are harder and give nothing good
>>2444877nope I'm 359 and I tried C9 pig king, it fucking sucked
>>2444888I agree I never do pig king, gumiho is much easier just do it c10 and watch a guide
>>2444900think I'll just stick to fishing
>>2444912Aight, personally I couldn't deal with the fact that I lost to a shitty korean mmo boss and had to give up but enjoy your cookie clicker
>>2444924you don't click while fishing
>>2444932You also dont click in cookie clicker
>>2444938surely you do
Never lucky...
We're so fucking back bros
>>2445680I will drag you back down
Sir, another FOTM got her legs cut off.
Treasure time in just a few days
Going back to regular farming after an event is always painful...>>2446182Damn I hope you get it without too much pain! I could never stand gathering for more than a few minutes, it quickly becomes tedious for me.
>>2446182praying the treasure attaches to the campsite and is family-wide instead of only one character
I've only done a few hours of Orbita but I think I prefer Nymphamaré. One of the features of Aetherion that I disliked was how many effects were almost always happening on the screen, to the point where it sometimes became quite difficult to see what was going on. That's not the case in Nymphamaré, but now Orbita is quite busy again.Anyway, post 'em.>>2446341There's a screenshot in the Global Lab patch notes which shows what I assume to be the treasure attached to the tent.
apologize to ambitionfags.
twitch drops
>>2446376I have to do it
>>2446376I'm sorry that I hope they spontaneously combust
>>2446376>vote steady>ambitious niggers win>get less or equal than steady on every boxI will apologize to them with a shotgun slug to their face.
>>2446358Still AP cucked but this is pretty close to max rewards anyways
>>2447262>395ap/armor timegated>vote ambitious for the hell of it>break even throughout most of event>15k crons on last day's box
ambitiousfag cope
>>2447689Cry more lmao. The average player is never going to have enough Crons so you may as well gamble. Go big or go home
I placed a karmic curse on this thread, that's why your shit keeps blowing up
you can give me 100k free crons and I just failbut you can give me 3k and success
>>2447884you must've place one on my toilet too haha
upcooming outfit
>>2450432Not really into this level of skyrim mod armor but I'm glad its not more modernslop
>>2450558Pretty sure it's aislop
>>2450589I thought it was a shitpost until I saw it on their website
>>2450593Then I'm impressed cause holy shit that's unusually lewd even for PA, not that I'm complaining
newfag here, is doing all of this really necessary or can i just run around and do other stuff?
>>2451349You can do whatever you want cutie
>>2451349Anything after Mediah is more or less optional, which then you can get future season characters to take a powerleveling route instead for most of the same rewards.
>>2451416awesome. thanks, anon
do i need to buy the calling horn from pearl shop before i upgrade it to celestial
>>2451693At one point getting through a bunch of them would grant quest-specific accessories that could give season characters a power boost and some other armor, but now they can equip any Tuvala gear. Mind that some of the crystals you get from the questlines can be combined into a super crystal that is still relevant today, so there is some incentive but at some point you'll probably make a lot of money an hour from grindan anyway or get enough excess season seals to make them.Questlines do have some practical use in obtaining knowledge to increase max energy, or getting to know the lay of the land somewhat. While the Magnus rewards barely need any progress into the questline now, a permanent +1 AP/DP and two crystal slots you can't anywhere else are rewards from the first half of Land of the Morning Light (before Seoul). Otherwise, not a formal 'questline' but the Bartali Log has a lot of permanent AP/DP rewards and more from doing assorted tasks.>>2451705No, Celestial Horns can be used as-is. There's a Celestial upgrade item for people with the original horn can grind for.
>>2451922so i should buy regular horn and do the quest to upgrade it?
>>2451941Personally I haven't done that, it relies on repeating a daily quest that would take you a month if below Artisan 1 Training, half a month otherwise, and all the ingredients to keep doing it. The calling horn is nice but you're best finding it as part of a bundle or through an event.
Die, you stupid fucking meme-mount.
>>2452788What a brave lad, not faltering in the slightest
>>2452829more like too retarded to realize the danger it was in.....PA has an incredible talent for epically subverting their own efforts.They can masterfully set the stage for what could become an epic low fantasy questline and then the moment it actually starts in comes Faggoty McFaggotface, comic relief staple #783, here to ruin it all...
>mine mysterious ore>you get around 10x more ore from grinding than from mining Why does PA hate lifeniggers that much?
>>2452918yeah really strange event, especially as it came directly after that completely OP farming event...from my 30 mysterious ores 2 from mining, 28 from mobdrops
I do not understand PA's mindset with respect to Girin, Bongwang, and Haetae's Tear, and now the same has happened to Reforge Stones. They were nigh unobtainable when first introduced, now you can get lots of them from just casually playing so on the marketplace all the items are minlisted with no reason for anyone to buy any, since there's no alternate use! Not even heating for Magical Shards or grinding for Black Stone Powder!

>>2453078they always do that

is hash fucking broken or what
>>2455282>3 hash in top 100 on NAYeah not reallyToo many gaps in SA, mediocre CCs, crappy FGsIts literally worse ninja
>>2455282hash is an honest and balanced class at this point and PA needs to make more of these gapless SA iframe throw-skills-until-enemy-fall-over classes who sometimes even have grabs more like him. i pray i get a hash on the other team instead of my own because i know we can punish his mistakes and bad plays and that he can't casually shrug off any attempt at peeling while doing a full combo when one of my teammates or i get put on the ground. there are way too many classes that are just not interactive at all and hash is not one of them
This game has the most impenetrable pvp I've ever seen, you have to have exhaustive knowledge of every single class' movesets just to not get raped in 12 seconds along with somehow understanding how to walk the dinosaur on your own class (esoteric knowledge), and that's at absolute trench tier the absolute floor of participation.
>>2455413It may seem that way but knowing other classes movesets is very high tier knowledgeAll you need to do learn is how to do protected movement and protected combos to get started, what I did was just use those at lower grindspots even though they suck for damage it helps build muscle memory and performing them seamlessly
>>2455413you really don't, just be protected when people are attacking you and hit them back when your protection runs out. if they are still not cc'd then move away and you get to do it all again
>>2455413Learning to be decently competent at bdo pvp requires a shit ton of reading and research and watching others play the game to get an idea of how you should play. Actually going to battle arena and practicing and getting used to things like desync and ping and class diffs fast tracks you to being better but most people refuse
>>2455445thats true if you want to be smelly irl- i mean "good at pvp" but anon is speaking as if you need to know that shit to have fun in pvp at all, which is untrue
shai concert
>>2453140i really like it
Does Whyfu or anyone from the old days still play this game? ITC, Baka, IC?
>>2455661Entirely depends on the class you play. You're not going to have fun being a shitter on awakening ranger or awakening maehwa but you can probably have a lot of fun on scholar as a shitter.
I thought the AOS matchmaking would be better after a week but its actually even worse somehow
game encourages pedofilia and devs are korean pedofiles. have a fun time.
man i fucked up my neck real bad
>>2456043Please don't park your mount in the moshpit!
Does anyone have a good guide for the platform jumper puzzles in Drieghan Sherekhan Necropolis? Or maybe even care to explain them here....?I could hardly find anything in google.A reddit comment mentioned there being 4 and you have to complete them in the right order and that unlocks a quest?I've found 3 so far, but there is no black mist to interact with at the end (but there is an invisible object block), so I must be missing the first?Or do I need a quest beforehand?
>>2456043How did you get a pic of this many bdo players without a giant neon blob zerker with an afro somewhere?
huh interesting patch
