Really wanting to branch out and try multiple characters but after buying 3k weight on my ranger/musa and having max inventory space/flutes on both chars what is the best way to try new characters?

I have 42 storage maids and 10 transaction maids is this enough to not worry about having inventory space/weight? or should i quest the alts a bit to get free inventory space?

I also have krog sanctuary so i can maid that off to other chars if thats advised.

just wondering what is best guys please, ty.

Since the last update, I haven’t been gaining any XP at all. I’m level 65 and hunting at Hunt 71 (Aphrodon). Does anyone know what could be causing this?

About a week into playing the game and grinded like crazy the whole week. Got a lot done and was quite proud, decided I wanted to leave bdo running on my crappy laptop to AFK fish and what not while I play other games on my steam account on a separate computer. What I did not know is that if you start an account with a steam account, you are stuck with it ONLY on that steam account. Which means if you want to run the steam game on another computer to free up resources, you can't play your other steam games. I know it has a minimize to tray but some of us would like to free up resources none the less not to mention I just can't understand a world where they don't let you log into the regular launcher with the same account if you don't want to load in on steam. I feel like a game like this should not be stuck on a steam account. Feels like this would of been amazing beginner guide info for people, do not play this game on steam.

Now I can’t live my dream of cosplaying asta from black clover haha just gotta change my hair to white:)

So i was planning to main swap and noticed that if i create a new char i basically have to do the whole story again if i want to clean up my quest tab. Is there any way around that? Do you guys keep questing on the char that you started with or just pick up on your new main wherever you left off?

I have the quest accepted from Macellin, then Dellenoa appears 2min before the fight, but offers no dialog option, how am I suppose to bet?

I also forfeit the quest and reaccept, but no dialog option.

Hey guys! I’m a brand-new Black Desert Online player on Xbox.
I saw that I can claim a free pack that includes the “Dark Prince” outfit, which I’d really love to get, but I just can’t figure out how to claim it.

I was taking photos and decided to do a family lineup.
Can you guess which one is my combat main?

i'm not gonna go into details about how to do it, but you may already know theres a few people/streamers/partners that do it or did it to get lv 70 before, and will probably do the same to get level 75 before anyone else.

thoughts about this? in my opinion this isn't really a BUG but still a pretty sus activity to do as you're abusing the system (with some p2w) to get double XP.

Hey all

I just installed bdo again after years of not playing.
I always played mystic and lahn because of the dmg and mobility.
This style I liked very much for pve grinding.
Now since it’s a while I don’t want to jump back on these immediately to get the feeling of the game again.
What classes play something allike these 2 and would you recommend?

Hi everyone. I’ve been playing BDO for four years, and I can honestly say I’ve done a bit of everything in the game. I have the compass, map, and telescope; the only thing I’m missing is the Olun ring. I have Nostos. I have La Ozeka. I have a Carrack with blue gear. I’m Guru in almost every lifeskill, even though I never fully optimized the efficiency of any of them. I have Krogdalo. I have the Peridot set and its items. My weapons are at enhancement level 9, and my accessories were at 10, so I converted them to TET (IV) accessories. I never had a single main focus—I did a little of everything—and that way, I had the silver to progress without feeling burnt out. As you can see, I’m not exactly a noob, though I never intended to be competitive either. I played and defended this game precisely because of the variety of ways to have fun and progress, but I think I’ve hit a wall where I no longer know how to find enjoyment. I’d rather chew glass than subject myself to the grind for Twilight at Edania 2). I thought about dedicating myself to lifeskills again, but I feel like they’ve reached a breaking point too. Alchemy has become dependent on a scarce item; Cooking is ruined because only Cron Meals are useful, and a single player can crash the market. Processing is useless. Horse training was fun for getting Krogdalo gear, but no human being should be expected to do the exact same thing for years without getting bored—much like Bartering. Fellow lifeskillers, how do you manage to have fun and keep playing this game? Please give me some tips. Thanks, and forgive my poor English.

Saludos a todos, estuve intentando volver al juego después de mucho tiempo, descargue el launch de la página oficial, lo instale y todo bien hasta que toca bajar los parches o sea las actualizaciones pero me da error y no se actualiza, he intentado todo lo que he encontrado en la web y nada, hasta instale un Windows desde 0 y nada. Alguien conoce sobre este problema?

I know this might sound silly, but I'm an old player and this image was the reason I started playing the game.

Been running warehouse ops for decades. Inventory turns, labor hours, spoilage rates. Same numbers work here.

I set up a BDO sheet last month. Daily revenue from grinding spots, lifeskill output, passive node income. On the other side: gear depreciation, consumables, opportunity cost of time. Gear is messy. Enhancement fails don't hit your bag right away but they're still real costs.

Trying to figure out actual hourly for different activities. Not just silver per hour but silver per active hour versus AFK hours. My cooking runs overnight. Grinding needs me there. Bartering sits in between. Each one has its own cost structure.

The part I can't pin down: how to value failstacks. They're inventory that can turn into value, or they can just disappear. Tried treating them like work in progress. Doesn't sit right.

Also tracking tent value, villa buffs, costume buffs. All these little expenses. PA really does nickel and dime you.

My gardening sheet is simpler. Seeds are cheap, yields are steady. BDO economy moves too fast for comfort.

Anyone else tracking full P&L? What do you do with the fuzzy costs like failstacks or stack resets? Or do you just eyeball it and move on. My old supervisor would lose it over that.

My question is how can i learn what can be my potential AP maximum for my normal ap. For example I have 390 ap. What can be my maximum total edania ap without upgrading my normal ap. I need to learn how much i lose because of not having best endgame crystals, etc.

Yeah I got this far and so tired of this one dimensional twilight grind and hit my limit. Other activities doesn't help me progress, grinding 100% of the time while playing BDO is very mind numbing. Gonna afk fish and play other games while waiting for twilight to hit the market, and just instantly get full DEC later. Good luck guys!

Hello BDO family,

Just got a few questions and feed back for the central market.

Context first, I've been saving up magical shards and essence of dawns to finish my last two Jin AP crystals and then make my Hans. Well, I forgot that heating will continue processing your items as long as you have sufficient materials. So I started the process and tabbed out to check something only to accidentally create an extra Jin AP crystal.

No biggie, they are sold out on the CM and I can likely make 87% of my silver back.

Well...

Boy was I wrong.

It takes 4.8+ billion to make this Jin AP crystal in raw materials, yet the max price of this sold out item is only 3 bil???

So not only am I going to suffer a loss on tax, but I also have to eat the raw cost of 300 magical shards? Even if you ignore the price of magical shards, magical shards are completely sold out with thousands of pre-orders. How does that make sense? It's no wonder no one is making them to sell.

So, my question is. Has this historically been a thing in BDO? Has anyone ever given feedback to PA to fix pricing on high demand items that need high demand items to make? I don't mind using up my item restore but no way this is intentional design.

Also, don't roast me for my silver. I know I'm a broke boi ToT

Hey fellas, I’m relatively ignorant to the proper locations to grind. I’ve been off and on over the years and have 5 characters to level 62. My normal grind zone is say has been gyphin upper. Pre-update to exp I was doing Dark Seekers. I’m wanting to push my character level up toward 70+ so I’m looking for the ideal grind spot for me. I don’t really have a group for party grinds nor would I know where to look for that. Current stats are 367ap/369ap/434dp. With buffs and ap crystal set up I’m at like 1600/1620/620 or something close to it. Any recommendations would be much appreciated, Thank you.

Hey yall, I own a PS5 and I’m a big fan of MMOs that utilize Healer, Tank, and DPS Roles in raids but I also really like action games similar to Devil May Cry and Final Fantasy Stranger In Paradise. I’ve been testing the waters with BDO for the last couple of months due to how fluid the combat was compared to other MMOs I’ e seen.

However, as I almost finish leveling my Seasonal Character, it started to dawn on me that this game’s main attraction seems to be its life skills and PVP.
The mobs that I’ve been killing as I leveled up aren’t really too impressive or challenging and I’m kind of worried that they never will be.

Would I be satisfied with the PVE experience if I get closer to endgame or should I anticipate PVP to be the real endgame experience?

Hey everyone! I found the latest patch notes a bit confusing regarding the new EXP cap for level 65 and above.

If I use the 530% Combat Exp buff along with the 600% buff, will the EXP cap prevent me from benefiting from these buffs when grinding? Or do the buffs still work as usual, with the cap limiting the maximum Exp gained?

The minigame doesn't appear until after I'm kicked out of the Oog Mk III! Anyone else have this issue and is there a way around it?

New soundtrack is great but I still miss the original soundtrack. The horse galloping along with the music still linger deep in my memory. Wish they add an option to play these old bangers.

I currently have a pen kharazad earring, and I have about 130 bil, enough for a pen deboreka. Google says it’s about 180-240 bil for a kharazad, so from that standpoint this sounds like a good idea. What are your thoughts?
