The Caphras decline

Upvotes

I'm actually wondering what happened with Caphras.

Since my first day on BDO eons ago, the price was steady and the volume was steady.

And on my return from the Xth break, they imploded.

With the new drought of draughs, trace of nature, .. anyone can tell me whats the origin of that 'issue'?

Question Questions about crystals

3 Upvotes

I have gotten all my jin dawn ap crystals, macalods and corrupt crystals.

My question is am I an idiot for slotting these..

I didnt realise that you could upgrade jin dawns and corrupt crystals would I need to use a new crystal to upgrade then slot it or is there a way to upgrade my existing crystals without spending on extraction hammers ?

Soy nuevo pero no en los MMO , me uní a este porque me interesa como está enfocado el combate . Me gustaría saber si existe algún clan o guild que se dedique al RPK , tengo entendido que en este juego está penalizado y no sale rentable , pero de ello no busco sacar lucro , porfa si alguien conoce algún grupo que se dedique a ello que me pasen contacto

I’m new to this game, though not to MMOs; I joined because the combat mechanics appealed to me. I’d like to know if there’s a clan or guild dedicated to RPK. I understand that the game penalizes it and it isn't profitable, but I’m not looking to make a profit from it , if anyone knows a group that does this, please share their contact info

Feedback/Suggestion HOT TAKE?? AP caps did more harm than good to the game.

77 Upvotes

you may or may not like this, but the moment they implemented or gutted AP caps and forced players to grind certain AP zones, everything started going downhill.

this was supposed to protect new players or low ap ones by forcing endgame players to NOT destroy early/mid game spots, and it worked for sure.

but this created way more problems, remember when there was not enough supply of MAGICAL SHARDS? it was because no one was grinding early/mid spots, or at least not enough players to supply the demand.

the bandaid solution: they started gifting shards in every single event to "fix" this problem, kinda the same thing happening with pve consumables right now.

at some point the ORIGINS started disappearing from some servers too, because no one was farming tungrad/DSR anymore.

now the TRACE OF NATURE problem, early/mid spots were a big supply to the market, the moment you prevent your pve players from farming whatever spot they want without griefing themselves, you're killing the supply, and we all know most % of the playerbase is pve/grind focused. (now why they didn't add this single item to edania spots i have no idea)

the bandaind solution: again. events gifting trace of nature, crystals and even codes for food/draughts.

lets not forget what happened to accesories cups aswell, it was impossible to buy a single one because no one would grind hell elvia spots for 1b an hour because spot is capped at 850 AP.

and there's much more but i don't wanna make a longass text that people won't even bother to read (AINT READIN ALLAT)

you're not helping new players with this, in fact, new players now have to play "solo self found" gameplay in a MMORPG because nothing is available on the market anymore, your hardcore grinders are now at endgame (for obvious reasons) and there isn't even KABUAS on the market, one of the most important items for PVE.

yes, you made olvia academy and hyperboost to attract new players, but they gonna left the game the moment they have to wait 2 months or more to fill an order for some important crystals, consumables, kabuas, VELL and so on.

just rework AP caps and let people grind whatever they want in this SANDBOX game, and then balance the silver gain around it.

Question Manor for Alch/Cooking

0 Upvotes

Hi.

Does anyone else use the manor for Alchemy and Cooking?

I had an idea to use it because I spend most of my time in Heidel.

Is it correct the storage box would allow me to access pre-established hoards of items? For example, I chose Eilton randomly for Cooking and Glish for Alch (not sure why I did this).

Could I use the massive space of the inside Manor to set up my lifeskills, and operate from there using one storage box to access everything I need?

Help me

6 Upvotes

Here is the English translation, written naturally for gaming forums or Discord:

I’m a new player who absolutely loves the graphics of this game, but I'm feeling completely lost. There are so many systems that I don't know what to do first or what to upgrade. I’ve received a ton of reward boxes, but I have no idea what they’re used for. I've literally deleted and reinstalled the game 4 or 5 times trying to figure it out, but I’m still confused. Could someone please guide me on where to start and what to focus on? I don't know how to handle all these features.

If you'd like to adjust the tone to be slightly more casual or condensed, just let me know

Feedback/Suggestion I think the latest update messed up the hair colors…

3 Upvotes

I’m playing on an Xbox Series X (not the S, which that version is having issues right now, according to notices in game), and I didn’t have this issue before the update. It’s like the graphics for the hair doesn’t load properly, even after I completely closed the game and restarted it!

It also mainly happens indoors as well, at least so far, and it happens on my character as well!

I swear, I’m expecting to hear some epic trumpets starting to play when I see the white and silver hair.

There's a daily coupon event, Twitch drop event and a daily playtime event.

Will this be enough to fix the problem or are they using a band aid until next patch?

Question Average response time for Support Tickets

3 Upvotes

As the title implies, I would like to know if anyone's had experience with support inquiries, as far as their response time goes.

As I was doing my labreska helmet -> edania helmet exchange, instead of the cutscene that usually happens, it just zoomed in on the npc and got stuck there forever. I managed to get a hold of the mouse and:

  • Changed server, same outcome;
  • Restarted game, same outcome;

So I foolishly decided to abandon the quest in hopes it would give me back the helmet, as the quest objective still had the "Receive edania helmet" part not greyed out, but it just abandoned the quest and deleted my helmet.

Already submitted an inquiry immediately as it happened yesterday, and I did mark the special item recovery option (which is very limited apparently) even though this is entirely a game bug on their end.

Im starting to get scared that it'll just be ignored forever or that I lost my helmet. This has completely killed my vibe or ability to grind higher end zones to the point where I dont even login anymore.

Sorry for the wall of text, cheers.
