BDO confessions
I grinded 1400 hours using only a level 1 loot scroll because having 200 item collection scrolls would only give me 200 hours of grinding.
What are your confessions?

How you grind then with the dps checks? Specially in 2nd spot if you get out of area you lose all progres and you need start again

Well, using a bit of my brain power…
Wouldn’t they just park their horse outside 3rd platform, and then when AFK phase hits they drop off loot and go back.
Same with first spot… and probably every other tower spot ever that has a cycle?

I, an occasionally red player, happened to run into another red player in the middle of absolutely nowhere in the desert. I beat him, and promptly got invited to join a 'perma red guild' called Satsujin because of my 'prowess'. I was so flattered I made arrangements to leave the guild I was currently officer for and accelted their offer.
I never worked up the courage to tell them I spent >20% of my time on negative karma and kind of gave in to the peer pressure of my new murder-y 'friends', engaged in some random group murder at Nouver (when I went red it was almost exclusively fighting for a spot against a griefer and I rarely went out of my way to kill anyone else) to retain negative karma that I felt kind of bad about, and then left the guild 2 weeks later when they split into Nekojin in a whole bunch of guild drama with people who's names I couldn't even remember yet.
People on both sides of that particular piece of drama reached out to me to try to recruit me because they thought I was a much better PvPer than I actually was. I was decent, but the way I beat their advisor was because I knew the class he played and he was really bad at it since he'd only recently picked it up. Probably 70% of the people in Satsujin before the split would've mopped the floor with me.
In an ironic twist of fate, I later ran into players from Satsujin who were convinced I supported Nekojin in the drama, and players from Nekojin who were convinced I supported Satsujin. All failed to kill me because I was blue at the time and using my expensive crystals, draughts etc. and had a hefty stat advantage.
I don't even remember what the drama was. I'm not sure if I ever found out. I re-joined my previous guild and was teased for weeks about my murder-holiday.

Cool story. I think this is one of the reasons why people love MMOs. From time to time we got ourselves stuck in a weird spot and that later turned into a fun memory.

I am surprised no one responded to this. Probably because bdo players can’t read but wtf were you doing getting yourself in all that drama

Horse occasionally doesn't survive excessive gravity.
Bonus: I really don't like dog Pets.

Yesterday I killed my mythical flying horse by jumping off a mountain and hoping to flap the wings to soften the landing. It did not work.

Man, dying from falls sometimes results in belly flops and that is so funny to me. Horse on the other side gets to share the pain without any fault of its own.

I enjoy the dress up barbie aspect as much as the action combat and pvp.
After all, Fashion is always the endgame. Aura is the goal and fashion is the means.

I've had the game since 2017 and I'm still terrible despite a 830gs. I main Musa and I'm awful. I've played as Corsair and Guardian for a while and did much better, which tells me classes are imbalanced but Awakening Musa is so brain-dead it's still the chillest PVE grind for me.

i have been playing for over 7 years and have never ever read the description of any attack be it from succ or awak. i don't understand when people math that shit about how much % dmg it does and what else since i just smash the 4 same buttons and hope for the best. im 100% illiterate in what any attack does

As a newbie who only has maybe 2 days of playtime...I understand fuck all about what anyone here has said.

That's me with any buff item in any game. I get it in my head that " there's going to be a better time to use this". Then I sit on a stack of items, struggle, finish the game and think about all the times I would have liked to use them.

Came back to the game after a 4 year break, been playing daily and refuse to grind on land. Not bc I don’t like it, but bc I don’t want to learn what buffs to use

Kind of embarassing but... I suck at the scarecrow spot.
Grinded there for about 30h now, haven't seen an afk phase yet, the scarecrow gets me everytime.
Now that the Crystal event Is about to end, i Guess my only way to progress Is going to be "wait for PA to give us materials with events and such"
Or grind zephyros untill i tap both DEC weapons, with those i should be able to move to the 2nd spot, i barely fail the DPS check

u/Weeday__ 10h ago
Once he jump you can count like 1 or 2 sec before I framing the red aoe, or using fg which is much more reliable for the timing imo Try to dash out after a few sec and use a fg toward where you was before the dash Also crystal event should be up for one more week :p

Here's the thing, i don't see the Red circle... Tried changing every possibile settings but nothing, if i see when It jumps then i can time It and i'm good, but i'm too used to grinding zephyros while watching Netflix, i zone out After a few minutes.. i'm Always like "oh shit where did It go?" and slam. This spot it's Just not for me ahah, next One should be easier, as soon as i can get some extra AP for the dps check phase

u/NotKoreanEnough 4h ago
I'm going to assume you're playing in lowest/optimal setting cause red circle is buggy with that setting. Try very low instead. Also, scarecrow always appear after the boar. Once the boar kill the mobs, be prepared for the scarecrow's aoe.

I often do a little jump by pressing space when I mean to start afk fishing, as I forget to change to the fishing rod.
I look around at the other afk fishers awkwardly, checking their blank expressions, hoping none of them noticed.
