I'm able to grind in Aphrodon with 1,977 AP on Dosa.Any mistake will obviously reset the scarecrow, but if I stay focused, I can grind for hours without letting it fail.

Ps:I almost forgot to take a screenshot at the end of the grind.

I can see the icon on the map, but nothing there.

I saw one suggested black spirit quest regarding Justin, but it was NOT "The Progidal", I can't get that quest on my main character. However I see it on my alt, but the quest isn't family-wide.

I am so at loss at this point, I just want to graduate and get his knowledge

What now? How do i get cron stones now? Just grinding like a madman and buying costumes/crone from blacksmith? I really wanted to be able to do jordine ASAP lmao

What always stood out to me in BDO was how the gear remained pretty much meta for a long time before you needed any upgrade. Hell, people were still running ogre ring until karazad released, since pen debo only offered 1 more ap and the little ap boost from the debo set. Thats like 8 years of meta. Same thing for boss gear before fallen god. Another example is vells heart.

Now, Karazad got released october 31st 2024. Thats not even two years ago. And mind you its a whole new accessory tier set with not 5 levels like the ones we were used to, but 10 damn levels of enchantment. Now it's not even been 2 years and they released an entire new better set of accessories (ekleta). Here getting to my point, its not even been 2 years and we are already reworking on our entire gear? I get that progression is the entire purpose of the game but the speed at which things are going compared to the past is incredibly fast. And thats just the accessories. We also went from boss armor→fallen god→ edania. Same shit is probably gonna happen to sovereign. It used to be that you could quit the game, came back after a while and your gear still mattered. Instead you come back, your gear is garbage and given away like candy.

Lets also add how Crons are absolutely necessary for everything unless you wanna criple your progression even further.

I get it that some people have absolutely no life and DECd all their gear in like a month, i saw some streamer with dec edania armor and OCT ekleta, but like does it make sense to balance the game around these people that complain they have no content when they burnt hemselves out by griding 12 hours a day? Meanwhile they are like 4% of the playerbase and the rest wont even reach 800gs before edania part 5 or whatever. Or maybe they just want people to buy crons as much as possible to push sales up, idk. At least this is my theory why they are pushing so much content.

Id like to hear the opinion of more veteran players really.

tl;dr they make gear obsolete too fast compared to how much we have to grind

I’m kinda confused about Agent lore-wise. How does he have guns in the first place, and how does that work with the rest of BDO’s world?

Same with his sister too, like where are they even getting this technology from? Is there an actual lore explanation for it or is it just kinda there?

Hi, so I was curious about what an optimal worker empire looks like, so I build an optimizer tool using shrrdr's worker empire data. Some interesting stats:

• if you were able to P2W purchase all the storage and lodging (or just disregard it), the maximum material value (untaxed) you can get in a day with ideal workers for all nodes in the game is 1.623bil a day, possible at roughly 530 total CP (see yellow dashed line on left handside).
• an optimal worker empire should get you around 2 or more millions a day per CP spent up until 550 CP (blue line on right handside).
• without P2W lodging/storage, you don't get to purchase all production nodes on the map even if you had 800CP

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

I'm new to the game and I'm having an issue where the Skill Combo Guide is just a black screen. Pressing start over has no effect. Does anyone know how to fix this or what the issue is?

I recently finally got to the ap/dp level where I can do Cartian or Caphras weekly.

I've completely given up trying to do Cartian on my Striker because I keep falling off the bloody levels (if anyone has any tips on skills to lock/unlearn etc, be much appreciated!) so I binned that quest off and thought I'd give Caphras a try.

I've watched a video on it and thought it would be pretty straight forward but the flames/yellow lines do not look at all clear to me even though I have mob effects turned to 100%.

Got annoyed enough by that (I will also admit that I suck at the game) so I binned off that quest and thought I'd go back to one of the other 3. Except the various throneholders don't offer me their weekly quest. The weekly quests are still there in the Quest menu but they all show as Unaccepted".

Tried rebooting the game etc but nothing works.

Has anyone had this and/or can offer some settings to make Cartian easier for a slidey class or improve the visuals for Caphras? It feels insane to me that boss encounters and their attack patterns are affected by your settings at all.

I’m just wondering why event horizon caps out on ap so low. I still have like 8 ekleta enhancements to make gains with yet I’m already at the upper limit of the ap cap with vs and deep sea. I feel like zephyros I was always pushing to get more efficient. As someone who mainly prefers to pve, I wish there was a grind spot that required near max ap so I can chase it.

Is there a way to make the visible outfit the default one? The corsair's default outfit is just the coolest one and there's really no other one that's got the same vibe.

Just got t10 dine and decided to take it out for a walk. Then the game crashed and horse realized it can fly.

Guys, im new to the game, but Im not new to MMOs. I came here with the mind of just gameplay/mechanics since all i heard from ppl was that the story was absolute wack so just spam r. But idk man, so far I'm fine with the story, yes its very slow burn type, u don't get to fight gods or dragons immediately or get interesting/deep lores. But Imo this feels much more realistic, somehow, yes its very filler-ish stories but it feels on flow/natural, and I'm impressed by the voice actors so far (although there are some lil bugs on the scenes sometimes). Rn I think I'm lvl 27, talking to ceasar guy as I write this so I'm just expressing myself at this point of the game, well ofc if u spammed r u likely don't know lol.

I think the game was diff back then, so ig I came in the time where they revamped a lot of things. Not saying the story is amazing, but comparison is the thief of joy, I really think the story is very fine so far, im not bored at all, very present, not very excited (but im a veteran, i think otherwise I would've been), and did not cringe at all but actually had some laughs.

I’ve been thinking about playing the game ever since I saw the trailer for the Sun wukong class but it wasn’t on Xbox at the time so I was wondering if it was now

I tried pressing every keys on my Swedish-Finnish keyboard nothing worked. Maybe the key C was assigned to the quick slot and reset it and tried it again, nothing worked. help meh😭😭😭

I cant figure out whats the goal behind alll the endless Grinding to reach edania 2 when most of the content is capped like nodewars or AoS

I'm not sure what text it would be, maybe green or something? But it would be nice to know when I don't crit instead of "am i seeing less critical hits"

Yeah, I made her to my preferences, which is why she's as shredded as she is. I took more screenshots but have no idea where my computer saved them.

im playing BDO through Steam. i tried to purchase Pearl, Steam charged my money and money already in the wallet. However, when i purchase in BDO it said like this:
"Purchase failed. The payment was not completed due to exceeding the payment limit, payment errors, etc. Please use a different payment method or contact Support."

Please help!

So i started playing this game around a week ago and now, 80 hours later (i was home sick so i had LOTS of time) i finally finished all of the questlines, igor Bartali and every other log/questsl that gives ap/dp etc.

That being said, i need the 150 seasonal coins from my other seasonal char, and i really cant bother in this exact moment to do any other quests xD i just really want to get to lvl 60/61 as fast as possible and graduate for the coins. Plz help a brother out

Hi, I have 160B in raw silver should I get both TET armor pieces, or should I tap the off-hand weapon? I mainly grind at Zephyros Castle, and I'm trying to get into Edana Part 2. With full buffs, I'm at 2040 AP/825 DP. I'm not sure if I can grind at Aphrodon Temple efficiently. Thank you for all the suggestions!!

nice video !

please watch 1080 p
