Well, weekday lag seems manageable, just bought a tri liverto and tri ap dagger, time to shoot lightning or fire or whatever it is witches do I guess :v:

It IS lighting, and it's pretty good so far. Of course, it's a level 30 character with almost 200 AP, so it's gonna be good regardless

SHIFT + RMB is stellar for clearing out hordes of weak or low level enemies (or great for leveling when you have high relative AP)

residual lightning is much better since you can move the large aoe after the first tick of damage. If you have the gear you can easily wipe two or 3 camps with a single lightning/residual if you kill one with lighting, and one with each of the residual ticks. It is by far the best grinding skill pre awakening

Where does money from Marketplace sales go? Do I have to collect it? I recall having to do that when I played a while back - I listed at a specific marketplace person, and I thought I picked the money up from her.

This time I listed from the Warehouse guy, but I don't see anything about collecting money from him. Do I have to collect from the specific Marketplace npc?

Any marketplace NPC will let you collect money.

I don't know about the second one, since I always list at the market npc, but when you collect money from sales it goes into the storage for that city.

So yesterday I kind of got my footing again remembering what/where I used to gather and why, and set my farm fences back up; I guess today I'll have a look at the houses I own and figure out what I was/should be producing to make my money. I was passively generating a good 100+mil a week before I quit, so I'm hoping to get back up to that. Then maybe I can really make a dent in upgrading my currently useless boss gear (although I was pretty please to see I had Bheg's at 14 already, so that's a nice start, as well as explaining why I'm so low on memory fragments). It still sort of stings to have hundreds of millions in gear that isn't worth wearing yet.

As to guilds: I kind of want the gathering/fishing/ap/etc perks that come with a guild, but I had my fill of random wars and having my boss alts ganked or the odd wardec over a grind rotation - should I just stay unguilded and do all the karma bombing in the world? Is karma bombing still a thing? Because I loving LOVE IT and it was VERY frowned upon when I was guilded :v: Also, nodewars can gently caress right off. Guild bosses were cool though. I'm conflicted.

edit: gently caress yeah, golden items event just started, time to make dat money! I splashed out big on cheap armorstones and witch weapons, time to recoup a little bit!

As far as I know Parks and Rec doesn't dec so that should be fine.

And yes karma bombing is still a thing but there are plenty of guilds who don't give a gently caress if you do it.

Well sure, but you can still have war declared on your guild, can't you? I've definitely had wars declared on my previous guild over spots I was grinding.

I'm not in PnR but my understanding is that they have never declared GvG or done node wars making them impossible to dec on.

Only other guilds that do not own land can declare on each other.
However, we've never had a war dec on us and I don't see it happening much.
And the other thing that we can do is put people in protection which basically negates a war dec.
I've karma bombed some people before in the past and didn't get dec'ed on so I'm pretty sure we're ok.
Pretty much everyone in guild can invite so just spam discord for an invite.

PNR is a casual guild although with the revival of BDO, we're also experiencing a revival of sorts. However, as people get to the end game and see how grindy it is, I'm sure it'll dwindle down again.
We're running GQs daily and burning through most of them.
Guild skills, we have a decent chunk of the combat ones and we're working towards the GM summon/teleport skill.

Heed my words and become a master of the Heart (of Thorns).
A couple of questions i have literally never seen any youtuber address:

1. When you assign a worker to a node you can assign "times", i assume this is how many times the worker will perform the task? (Ok i kinda know that this is the case, i just find it strange that no one has ever addressed it), my actual question is; if i keep feeding them beer will they keep doing that task for the 50000 times i have assigned them?

2. Do they walk back to town and back to the task after every single task completion or only after they have completed the entire quantity of assigned tasks (or run out of energy)?

1. Yeah, they will continue to work until they run out of stamina.

2. They walk back to town and return to work after each task.

When you level up strenght iirc - but it's really minimal - the only meaningful increases are via pearls or loyalty points.

Another blue ribbon for Hecarim.
That said, it's not a terrible idea to grab a single trade item and walk an auto-loop path overnight once or twice. It's true that 2 weight per level is pretty lackluster, but I got my Lifeskill Dude to strength 30 over a couple nights and you can't beat free.

There are times a worker will have stamina and their auto repeat will disappear, I think it is when they gain a new skill? So you have to keep an eye out for that too.

Every morning when i check BDO after a night of afk processing and having gained a level or two, my character has a tiny more weight limit. When i first started processing at level 15 i had something like 1170 weight limit, definitely under 1200. Now at 35 i have 1204. My gear is unchanged.
I can find no documentation on this online, i guess the search terms needed are too general.

Indeed, and by a decent amount as well

I went through all my characters, took off all their gear and checked their weight limit:

Level: weight limit

15: 348
36: 428
45: 467
53: 482

For level 15 i have 3 alts of different classes, all had the same LT. For level 36 i have 2 different classes with also widely different lifeskills (so lifeskills does not give increased LT)


I have never made a graph in excel before and was not able to make a simple f(x)=y one that would give useful data for the other levels.
Im assuming you get ~150 more LT from level 1 to awakened

There is/was an event for striker release where the highest level/xp striker at the end gets an alienware computer. That's probably why it's common right now. I don't know if it was a thing before

The Alienware meme is far older than the current promotion.

My first experience with it was during the Tera Online beta/launch when actual marketing shills were in chat during some promotion. People got pretty mad so basically pretending that you play on Alienware / that it's the best value / best computer ever / never drop frame rates / never disconnect / that Alienware boosts your DPS / that Alienware improves your RNG, etc etc quickly turned into a way to get a rise out of people who didn't know about the meme or realise you were actually trolling & not being serious. Some people get very angry about Alienware computers even existing so saying how wonderful they are is like tossing a lit match on fuel.

It's the less obvious version of starting a political discussion that's bound to spiral out of control.

So to summarize:

1) You definitely play on Alienware and by golly want to share that with everyone how great it is.
2) Trump/Hilary chat in any form
and
3) Guild Wars 2 is actually a pretty bad game that's dying, why do some holdouts still play it?

Bam, chat should start scrolling nicely.
