You can definitely have multiple offense potions running at once. I'm not sure if they have to be triggered by other people in your party or if you can just chug all the pots yourself, though.

fletcher posted:I started by stockpiling grains (~5k of each potatoes, wheat, and barley) in order to make a shitload of beer. At the same time I was doing that, started building up ore resources (iron, copper, tin, zinc, etc), lumber, and eventually coal. Now I have a shitload of all those resources with ample amounts of everything to craft boats, wagons, horse gear, armor, etc so I kinda stopped farming them for now and switched over to the nodes that give the various Trace of * items needed for alchemy. This map was helpful to getting that going. Contributionerd here.  Word of advice: There are *very* few reasons to harvest potatoes and wheat, for example. Some ingredients are part of a 'class' and are interchangeable. Corn, Wheat, Barley, Potato are all interchangeable, so harvest one (from two nodes if you like) to save on bank space. Same goes for "vegetables". And for cooking, meat is in three classes, and not until late game will you really use the chicken class or the lizard class. The caveat is.. when you have a quest to make 100 sweet potato dough, it requires sweet potatoes. You can hit the market for stuff like that tho if necessary.

happy cabbage posted:So what are some good ways to grief in this game? I used to take a hunting rifle, sit with a gillie suit in some bushes along the side of one of the "major" roads, and shoot afk autopathers off the back of their horse. Can also shoot afk fishers off of fishing boats (if anyone still does that). Clocks posted:You can definitely have multiple offense potions running at once.

Although I guess it means I'll have to pick alchemy back up, ugh.

They have a new desert ghillie suit, and seeing as being in the desert can kill you I imagine that would be a lot funnier. Of course I also imagine people aren't going to be afk pathing in the desert for very long because of it. And, you know, it costs 30 loving dollars. e: I respect the balls on them to pull stuff like that. "Here's a costume that costs more than you paid for this game, enjoy!".

Just hit 40 with my main, and the evolution of the black spirit is really cool. The creepy ragged feather cape thing you get on it around that level is especially nice.

Nope. 1-50 is FAST but then it grinds to a crawl FOR LVLing. You can lvl to 100+ but...good luck with that.

You can get to 50 in a few days where the single player end game kinda starts. It probably take a few more weeks to get to 55 where most people are. The game is really good when you level your first character upto 50 though. It didn't feel like a slog to me

It will not take weeks. 1-55 should be very easy (well, a bit harder if it's your first character) and 55-56 can be done in ten hours after that. Past that it becomes more of a slog. For instance I get approximately 1% an hour at 57 but I reckon sometime in August they'll globally boost exp rates again. That said let's not get carried away with this leveling to 100 rhetoric; the top players in KR at the moment are 62? I believe. However there is no hard cap on leveling. If you're just starting out now you won't be able to PVP against top tier people but you should definitely be able to play fine otherwise. Gearing in this game becomes increasingly more expensive as you upgrade more so eventually most people reach a sort of plateau while they work on their next big thing.

Pretty sure they died for a good reason. I recently found that you can only really improve items past a certain point by a process that significantly downgrades their max durability frequently, and to restore it...you need to engage in super repetitive 'social' bullshit with NPCs which is a huge time sink. You need to do this every time you need to restore said durability. Which is a LOT. Grinding is fine, but this isn't even gameplay. It's just...ugh. If you aren't invested in the game yet, run. If you are, cut your losses.

That's only to have the absolute best of the best gear. You can easily gently caress around and get gear almost as good as that with no real effort at all. I mean if you are going to go through all that, you are probably the sort of person that cheeses failstacks too, so you aren't even eating the full force of how terrible that is. But I mean yeah, it's still a deeply flawed game. I think I had more fun playing Moonlight Blade, and I didn't even understand what was happening around me.

Or have your workers craft the items, or buy them off the AH, or buy already upgraded items off the AH, or grind in one of the locations the items drop. There's really no reason to play that social minigame unless you like playing it.

Nah that's bullshit, there are items that restore the durability to anything, or as said you can buy them off the AH, or some quests might give it, or you can grind an area they drop, or you can just buy the fully upgraded version. It's not like making money is hard in the game. Or, indeed, anything but grinding up skills is hard.

Blasphemaster posted:I was informed that you need to do the social aspect to get them the max durability reastored at all. Once you have a copy of the base item, what do you do, precisely? If you attempt to enhance an item and it fails, the item loses 5 max durability. To repair this, you can take it to a blacksmith along with a copy of the same item (the copy doesn't have to be enhanced at all), and he will eat the 2nd item to restore 10 max durability on the original item. For super rare items like boss armors and weapons, repairing max durability this way is way too expensive and impractical. There is an item you get from certain scroll bosses called a memory fragment that can be used to repair max durability on items as well. It repairs 2 max durability on blue quality items, and 1 max durability on gold quality items. It repairs even more on green quality gear but that is a waste of fragments. This is how people repair boss gear. You find a group of people with 5 ancient relic scrolls or whatever and everyone pops all their scrolls and walks away with a bunch of memory fragments to repair stuff. For common, green quality gear you repair by just consuming bunches of copies of the same item obtained however you want. What may have caused this confusion is that one of the most popular armor sets, grunil, was completely sold out for a very long time after the mediah patch dropped. You pretty much had to do the social minigame to get pieces to repair with in a reasonable amount of time, since the black crystals you needed to craft it with were rare and only 1 worker node dropped them. They did drop in certain grind spots but that took a while. Now though valencia added a bunch of black crystal nodes, so manufacturing grunil is easier than ever and it is way more widely available to just buy on the market. The armor set they added with valencia, called rocaba, is sort of in the spot where grunil used to be. Always sold out, but you can't manufacture it, and grinding for it sucks. Fortunately though it is a minor upgrade for certain classes at best and you can just use grunil instead.

Yeah, if you're a new player, you're better off saving money to just buy some +15 amor or weapons or whatever since you're most likely going to come ahead in time/money in regards to enhancing. The amity minigame sucks dick but really isn't necessary to play unless you want to do some obscure energy-raising knowledge stuff. Or if you just started a kuno/ninja and needed to get the offhand enchanted. It's definitely a lovely mechanic but out of all the lovely mechanics in this game I don't think that's the one that should make anyone quit. You can largely skip it.

iRoNgHosT posted:Which channel usually has the most players? Even though there are tons of players around, I never see anyone chatting in /channel. The game heavily encourages you to AFK. Farm crops don't grow and workers don't work while offline, and there are things you can do while completely AFK like fish or train horses. A lot of the players you see in towns at any given time are AFK. And chatting in channel chat actually costs 1 energy per message sent to discourage spam and useless poo poo. Although you should still see a fair amount of people chatting there regardless. As far as channels go, you can switch channels every 15 minutes. People will tend to switch until they find an empty spot to grind in. Probably have to find which ones are most crowded by trial and error.

The differences would be that BDO is B2P and not F2P, which brings with it at least a bit more expectation that power is not for sale. I kind of wish it had been like this from the start, so I felt like someone who has a full time job could hope for some semblance of keeping up in power.
