ugh of course fulgar let's you trade in your first awakening weapon but gently caress me if I still have that. Apparently no way to get that back. Why PA doesn't add an easy way to re-obtain that old stuff - when adding new exchanges like this - we'll never know.

It sucks for older characters that deleted it but there's a way to get it still, take one of your characters under 56 or make a new one and level it to 56 then do the awakening quest again and you get the weapon that you can trade to Narchillan. In case you're playing on EU server I can help you with a power level takes about 30min to go from lvl 7 to 56 or look for someone to help. My family name is Captainweedo can add me as friend on EU.

Installed this for the first time earlier today and am enjoying the active combat play style. The huge number of different systems is apparent even at low levels, and it’ll be interesting to see how it shakes out for me.

BDO is funny because there can either be an overwhelming number of things to do or it can be a dead end boring grind monster until you burn out and quit game depending on what you choose to do because 97% of the game is optional. The crafting and trade side of things is surprisingly robust, perhaps one of the most intricate in an mmo.. theres also horse breeding, a mind bogglingly complex fishing system that will eventually lead you into ship building and sailing. You can set up trade caravans and on and on. Or you can just ignore all of that and just kill monster.

Hey so I'm coming back to BDO after giving up. I'm lever 45 and confused as all hell. It's there a discord or something i can ask stupid questions and not get mocked mercilessly? Like I'm at the final battle quest, and the ghost keeps telling me to run away from the guy in fighting. And the quest text days to use some light but i don't think i have it. I need an adult

Honestly you can get by with a lot less than that now, though not sure since they killed seasons. With seasons you could basically get a full set of pets and enough inventory for that character for the most part. I still wouldn't expect to stay under $100 if you actually play a lot though.

Steam has Black Desert on sale for a dollar, so I picked it up. Anything particularly important to keep in mind as a new player at this point in time? I like magical characters with minions, so I'm assuming that witch/wizard is a solid starting point, but I also saw some mention that the new "Nova" class can raise fallen enemy zombies and shoot ice blasts. Any other options that let you put something between you and the enemies?

Not much of a minion character outside of tamer. Nova isn't really comparable to a necro, her attacks look like she's summoning but they are just part of the attack, they dont stay there for a significant amount of time. The new corsair comes out today, theres always an event to get new classes leveled so you can always do that while running on the seasonal server. Thats what I'm going to be doing till the new games come out soon.

Seasons can be quite good for a new player. The gearing part of it isn't that important anymore since they added narchillan gear, but you can only get that once per account. The more important part imo is all the random crap it gives you like stacks, pets, and inventory space. The end of season rewards have generally been pretty good, but who knows where they're going with that. Grinding seasons is a pain in the rear end imo, but I guess some people like it Witchard is the closest thing to magical characters with minions, but really minions are irrelevant for their stats. Their main utility is messing with autotargeting and sometimes letting you escape a cc by ccing the other person while they're comboing you.

Grinding seasons is a pain in the rear end imo, but I guess some people like it Definitely sounding like creating a seasonal character is a good idea here. Based on my reading so far, the auto-looting pets give you is a major ease of play boost. How much grind are we talking to "clear" a season and graduate? Closest thing I've done before is the Genshin Impact battle pass, and that required about half an hour of work every day for 40 days. Got it, mages each having two minion modes to swap between looks nice, but I probably ought not to depend on them for anything other than buying me a little breathing room in serious fights. What is a "cc"? Google suggests it stands for Crowd Control, which in turn stands for stun effects.

avoraciopoctules posted:What is a "cc"? Google suggests it stands for Crowd Control, which in turn stands for stun effects. Its that. It won't let you escape your credit card bills if you start whaling  It doesn't take too much to get the end-of-season reward usually, but if you want to go through the entire pass or whatever, 30 min a day every day from now until the season ends is probably more than enough as long as you don't get distracted by unrelated tasks--it's largely doing the main questline, doing some world bosses, and leveling from 1-61 or something. If you don't need the gear super enhanced because you can just take narchillan/oasis after you graduate, then you don't really need to grind all that much beyond leveling + weeklies. You can skip days as well, since you could pile up your +combat xp% scrolls and just hammer out a 4 hour session or something if that's your jam. The hard grind really comes when you're pushing tet/pen tuvala or any accessories, which you don't need to do to get all the season rewards.

Would you recommend the seasonal server over the "Olvia" servers for new/returning players? Can you benefit from both at once? Olvia is only an experience point boost, and becomes available when you make a new account or when you haven't logged in a few months. Season servers are a huge event where you get a ton of rewards as you progress your character on it, but that character can not leave the Season server until you reach a specific milestone or the season ends.

No, you can play anywhere you want with a season character, just season servers have extra season specific drops to upgrade the season gear, and are pvp limited, and are limited to season characters so older characters cant come in and camp. Think they also have a slight exp boost as well. There's actually no reason to be on the crowded season servers until you actually need those upgrade drops or want the slight boost

Yeah you are better off going through the storyline portion of the game on the less crowded servers and then go in to the seasonal ones when you are ready to start grinding for the stones to upgrade your gear. The seasonal servers are way overcrowded right now during primetime.

You can't transfer an existing character to seasonal servers though right? So you would need to create a new character and level it up.

The character is tagged as seasonal during character creation, thats what lets them get in and out of the seasonal servers while its ongoing.

I picked this back up since quitting in 2018 and I must say that all of the quality of life improvements have made this a vastly better game. All of the assistance gearing via the season system and the storyline quests taking you to lvl 59 seem to make this a much different experience than at launch. Sure I’m in for a huge grind past lvl 60 or whatever, but getting to a state where it’s comfortable to do so was much easier. Im 4 days in on a new character and already sitting at 207ap/277dp.

Tabletops posted:i asked before i think about the ~$200 startup cost or w/e, but i just realized - is that for participating in the endgame or whatever? Is it a fun ride up to that point? It's all QoL stuff but honestly you can probably get away with half that or less these days depending on how patient you are. I haven't really thought about the startup cost in a while The nice/must to haves at full price are: Pets x5: $45, but you can buy from the market if you're patient or they tend to give these away. You can buy a lot of these if you want 5x T4 pets, but they do give away a t4 pet 1-2x a year. I think you get some of these for free from season quests but I don't know if they're permanent. Inventory slots: $14.50 per 16 Between seasons giving extra inventory and them giving slots away occasionally, if you're patient you don't need to buy these. I'd still like having at least a +16 expansion on each character Maids (remote storage/market access): $12 ea up to however many you want. They give these away at least a couple times a year Tent (remote repair): $49 They never give these away. Best you'll see is 20-30% off. Some classes depend on this more than others Then if you want to cook a lot, canape is $29. Basically if you're patient and only buy things you can't get for free or for silver, you can easily come under $100. That'd require more patience than I have though.
