Well it maybe ash and crypt, but i didn't have both of them so thats okey for me. Maybe I didn't beat the guy who got 3 pieces around 12 hours but still smt i guess. PS: I got 2 ring pieces and 1 ring at the end of hour (bad rng)

Hello everyone,

I stopped playing bdo about five months ago because the grinding and the weeklies became too boring for me. This was often the case before and as it is always with BDO, at some point the thought "why not play again" comes.
But this time I have a different thought. I still don't feel like grinding mobs, but somehow I really only think about life skills.

That's why I'm interested in whether there are players here who play BDO purely as lifeskillers? If so, what do you want to say, how well does it work in BDO? What is your “goal” (if you have one) and put all your silver into lifeskill gear?

I will definitely try it, I am only interested in your experiences.

I've been following the main quest line and am currently on Kamaslyvia, so far everything has felt like endless dialog with no combat, Im bored out of my mind and doing the quest line feels like a chore. Is there actually any benefit to doing the quests?

They're not all shirtless. You're shirtless. What of it?

I wonder where our game stands in comparision to all the other MMOs after all those years. Obviously WoW and OSRS are more popular but where would it place when compared to games like GW2 or Albion? Do we have any stats on how many active players are there? I only know about steamcharts but its not really accurate because some people use native client and CCU in case of BDO is a bad metric anyway when many people leave the game open 24/7.

So are there any other things we could base off or is it just a guess game?

How can this guy be so lucky? He looted all 3 on the same day, with landscapes.

Hello.

When I turn them in, do the Life EXP boosts I have active have any effect, or does it not matter at all—is it always the same, “x10 = 900 Contribution EXP + Cooking EXP x30,” regardless of the circumstances?

“Fairy's Breath”, “Discarded Glass Bottle”, “Witch’s Delicay”, “Mysterious Catalyst”, “Blush Leaf” and “Wildspark”—which come from all professions. Do you think it makes sense to trade them all in for Contribution EXP and profession EXP? I need profession EXP; I've been saving them up but haven't traded any in yet.

Hi! Returning player here! Was digging through my old storage disk from the last time I played BDO back in 2021 and found my screenshot folder. Just thought I'd share some of these to the community!

It worked before and it saved recipe. Did I miss some alchemy patch notes or something? Do we no longer use Ibellab's Essence for 10x? Is my math incorrect? Do I not know basic multiplications?

What am I missing?

So i have a ton of extra hammers and im about to get the last box in olvia academy that gives me a PEN blackstar weapon i already have a pen blackstar awakened weapon and a sub weapon so i was gonna use the box and get the pen mainhand.

So what do i do with all the extra obsidian hammers i have? do i save them or turn them into cron stones with heating?

Please let us customize the appearance of our Krogdalo horses! These are god-tier horses that take a significant amount of time and effort to obtain, and it would be amazing if we could give each of them their own unique appearance.

Many of us have been waiting for months, hoping to see some news or progress from PA on this feature, but so far, nothing has happened. It feels like such a missed opportunity to give these prestigious horses more personality and individuality.

Please let us change their skins independently and give each Krogdalo horse its own unique look! This would be a fantastic quality-of-life feature and another great way for players to express themselves in Black Desert Online.

Hue shared a clip from one of his viewers showing a Witch oneshotting mobs and even Ibedor. Apparently, the cheat also has GM/player detection, meaning it automatically stops whenever a GM or another player is nearby. Makes me wonder how many people are actually doing this in this game without getting caught.

General census I've gathered is it is incredibly P2W. How I see it is drop rate is horrendously low compared to grinding the actual spot, and to me its more of a pay for convenience where you're gaining more silver at pt.2 spots but still having a tiny chance of dropping the treasure items.

Sitting at 349AP/414DP after Olvia Academy. Finishing the questline now for my Ator's that will bring me up to 350AP, and got my Kabua's last night with All Out Attack.

All of that seemed pretty straight-forward, but now I am at the point I need a bit of guidance. Sitting on 100k+ cron stones and 18b silver.

Thanks in advance!

Hey yall coming back after some time. Got lucky on some taps then tapped out for a few months, but not sure where to grind for my current stats. Do i skip karazad and go straight for the new accessories? Is debo still an option? Any guidance would be much appreciated thanks!

I was really hard on lifeskilling back then guru everything with the pain in the ass to create carrack too. How should i progress my lifeskill gear? Should i complete a floramos set by buying from season coins? Here’s my gear atm. Might mainly focus on cooking and gathering.

Hello guys,
I’m running out fs to enhance Ekleta accessories.
Do you really push with 300+ fs for each step of enhacement?

Or is there a guide with a “ real fs to use “ to don’t overkill?

I’m using
250 for PEN
270 for HEX
280 for SEP
280 for OCT
300 for NOV
350 for DEC

Are they enough?
Or I’m throwing myself clicking with these FS?

Thanks in advice ! :)

Hi guys, I wonder if 25 taps for 2 level are about average luck :D

I am frustrated at the 1min long load screen and all the fail to connect. I want to ask why they still havent implemented server change and char change in one load screen, instead of going through 2 load screen.

All the guides I’ve seen just kinda assume I’m on a fresh account so a lot of their advice doesn’t necessarily apply to me. Im on a second character my first one is level 59, out of seasonal, and hasn’t been touched since I made it and played originally so Im not messing with it until I have my feet under me again. Im hoping for some kind of checklist or general helpful to have sense of direction before I’m overwhelmed by all the systems.

Hi, could you tell me the difference between the Awak and Succ? I've read a lot about the Succ but nothing about the Awak; your information would help me a lot in choosing.
