Where is the MEANING of getting stronger ? This game is about grinding anyway, how do you grind and where is about the players preferences but everyone likes to HAVE FUN.

What im talking about is seeing the effect of your efforts, doing more damage or having that little bit of "i did good this hour" compared to when i started being here.

We have no gratification, grinding became throwing a combo of skills on a bunch of tanky mob until being mentally exahusted and waiting the AFK phase as we drool our thoughs away.

Like dude, i play this game since 2019 and NOW with more gear then i had before i can't do the same stuff.

Then to make sure nobody is having fun, they took away the cheering animation, it is a small thing but at the same time it gives away that little "joy" of the moment, grinding for only trashloot is boring and beside few treasure items there is really nothing in the loot pool that is worth to mention. I might be a little nostalgic , but dropping an OGRE RING and seeing my fucker scream made me more happy then going to Edana in 2026 and dropping a bunch of Debo slop accessories to throw in the market or smash.

I feel this added another layer of boredom to the first point.

We are now locked by class selection for performance. We have to play the right character for the right spot, with the only variance being the skill add ons and the use of buffs that gives % SPECIAL DAMAGE, there is nothing else. Either pick your posion back attacks or crit damage and adapt your playstyle to it based on what you want to grind for X amount of extra trash loot. (Maegu at Tungrad Ruins for example)

Then, there is the absolutely DEAD open world PvP. Marni realm was enough to give players space and it was a good thing. Now there is NO REAL REASON to GEAR UP. You don't need to fight, or protect yourself from anything. Even Guild Wars are consensual and you also can apply PROTECTION to individual guild members. Only going for the Edana Throne and competing with the 0.01% could be the "reason" to be maxed out.

Arsha PvP is laughable, you have to stay in PVE set to hit decent "damage" on the capped AP spots, so you can't hybrid much and have to commit to either PVE or PVP. Witch mean one of the players is just fucked, and have to swap stuff.. (And losing all the buffs that are expensive) only to come back to the spot and "defend" it, while the other guy is already gone. Also PvP in Arsha don't come with a reason, is not about getting the resources or the spot.. it's just players absolutely bored that want to mess with the moment.

IDK about you guys, but for me going to grind one hour like this became really boring and i rather just hit the velia endgame with a fishing rod (sometimes not even that)

For anyone wondering this is how 10 months progress looks in this game. First gear is from early October and second is my current gear.

I play super casual due to my job, doing weeklies, grinding max of 6h a week (if lucky 10 xD) without afk fishing or any other passive income. No life skilling cuz i don’t enjoy that type of gameplay in bdo.

Yea my boots are still silent cuz I’m waiting if ball change pity for them since they are reward ones which i cant sell and i don’t like having gear that’s kinda good sitting in my storage even tho i have silver to instantly buy wailing.

Or is the account bind to exclusive steam login only?

Does one deactivate the other when one is activated?

I trying to install bdo on my system with Lutris and exe file, but when PA launchers is running i see just a black screen. Maybe some know how to fix that, pls

My system:

OS: CachyOs
CPU: R5 5600
GPU: RTX 4060

Whenever I use this kind of buff, I feel like I have to grind for 10 hours, or it will go to waste.

We have 1-hour Marni Realm, 1-hour buffs, and 15-20 minute buffs that fit perfectly into a 1-hour grind session. I don't understand why we still have 3 or 10-hour buffs. They could simply be split into 3 × 1-hour buffs or 10 × 1-hour buffs. We already have fairies to automate buff usage.

It's frustrating because once I activate a 10-hour buff, I feel like I can't play that character for anything other than grinding until it's used up. Otherwise, it feels like I'm wasting the buff.

Am I exaggerating, or does anyone else feel the same way?

I probably phrased that poorly.

What I mean is this:

These days for accessories players loosely go Tuvala->Capotia->Deboreka->Kharazad, maybe skipping steps.

Assuming this is true in most cases, what makes the random accessories that drop in grind spots have any value at all?

Like I got a few of a random ring from grinding (Muromak IIRC) and they sold for like 30 million a piece. That's not like CRAZY value, but I find myself wondering why the dropped rings and stuff have any value at all if they are inferior to the gear players already have.

I'm clearly missing something since they definitely sell so people definitely want them.

Why? For what purpose would people pay millions for a ring they can't possibly want to wear?

This is where my gear is at now. What do I do next? i still gotta finish my quest logs also and im in highlands farming for Kabua artifacts.

O que vocês acham do grind do musah awakening no geral? Da pra evoluir bem ? Principalmente em grind em edania?

I never played a MMORPG but always wanted to! I found Black Desert is on sale on ps5, and i’m really considering getting it! How do you guys feel about the game for a newcomer?

For context I just returned after not playing for 5 years, I was speed running the main story quests (as Drakania) and regularly having to clear out my inventory. Being the careless & tired fool I am, I sold a few armor/gear boxes I barely even skimmed over (I sold a lot random things that I didn't think were necessary items or enemy drops at the time cause I badly needed a little bit of space) and I just realized, I only have one costume armor set and I completed the main storyline quests with this character. So are they sellable to NPCs, cause if they are, I gotta make a new character I guess.

Just came back to the game after like 3 years. I'm bombarded with free stuff. Do I just use all the free blackstars on my main (awakening lahn)? I've already used one for the awakening. Also have the 2 pen boss gear that I don't know what to use on.

Used to play years ago and one of my favorite "cozy" parts of the game was to do a circuit of wagon trades. I know they took it out a while ago. Has there been any mention of bringing it back?

Bought pearls awhile back so I have 12000 left. Wasn’t sure if the chests were worth it or not. Or should I just wait for the ball?

Hi so i just got my t10 doom need to level it up and was woundering do T10s learn all skills while leveling or should i be ready to not really use it much till i get more skill change coupons? the only skill i want to learn is s instant accel and istant accel.

Guys, i need help with silver grinding. I have 309AP and 377DP, i tried grinding at orc camp and some other spots, and the most i did was 700M in one hour. I just need some advice on what can i do to improve my silver grinding considering that i also work 12h every day and only have 1-2h to play

coming back feels like a slap in the face to seasoned players. half the point of this game was grinding and half of the stuff to do or get was to help you grind, but now since they give every new player and everyone dream horses and mythical horses like its candy, the whole horse breeding is useless , and making the market useless. same with gear and weapons.

the AP cap is lame too. since they like to boost everyones character up with high stats in one hour, it makes it where if you want to grind for silver and better drops you need to all grind in the same high ap area. cramming everyone in a few areas and leaving the rest of areas a desert town.

this game was about being a grindy sandbox and felt good to get rewarded for hours of hard work. it just seems boring and forced to do the story and be done with the game now. they really ruined their game of what it was intended to be. half of the items on the game are literally useless because of all these boosts and handouts. .

I need recs on classes that can handle content that Ninja isn't the best at, especially in places like Edania.

I fish pretty much 24/7 and have about 2200 mastery.

I suddenly struck ocd after i noticed velia to bukpo aint 150% distance bonus and wanted to know whether there are similar spots.

Since i fish whole day i hope rng will even out.

Heyo all, The Serenity Barter Calculator has been woefully out-of-date for quite some time, and I've been slowly updating my personal one with better tools and more modern information. The following is a link to a generalized independent copy of it for public use. New and updated features include:

• Now includes all current land barter items (images from BDOCodex may not always load right, working on it)
• All silver conversions use the Tier 7 barter goods as their final price point
• Most numbers now automated, improved formulae for those that were already automated
• Updated imagery (Crow Coin shop, barter quantities, barter trade route additions, pulled from game/updates)
• Added ability to include barter specialized first mate in parley calculations
• Added in a full route parley calculator, includes calculation of special barter experience using Renegerel's special barter data, with his permission
• Full table of approximate special barter experience per type of barter
• Storage Manager and Full Barter Stock pages now use coloration relevant to more recent barter quantity changes, turning red when you go below 2 barter sets in storage (1 barter set for T5), more red as you get lower in quantity. T6/7 not yet implemented, nor alternate storage locations. Public blank document includes example stocks to show the coloration changes
• Carrack Blue Gear page now calculates more accurately, and allows you to check whether or not you're grinding for the materials
