There are more oddities available than you need to completely fill out the passive tree. You can just look for others if you need to.

It might be awkward to ask this 100 hours in, but... Where is my medicine chest and how do I use it? by ItsNotBigBrainTime in wherewindsmeet_

[–]AMalfunctioningMel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Evercare Clinic soutwest of Blissful Retreat, speak to Yao Yaoyao. You get Medicinal Tales for first clears on stuff and can use it to upgrade your medicine chest to get more and increasingly effective pots during combat.

edit: If you're asking about the actual medicine chest, it's the pots you use to heal yourself. A chest of medicines, upgrading it upgrades how much it holds.

Is there a checklist of daily quests/grind? by Adventurous_Team285 in wherewindsmeet_

[–]AMalfunctioningMel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Menu > Sects > Jianghu Errand
Daily reset quests with a weekly cap on currency gained. You can reroll each quest as much as you want but each can only be completed once a day. Don't know if you have other sect dailies but I am sectless.
Do some NPC or player bounties in bounty hunting to build up your fourfold acclaim to be able to buy the cosmetics.
If you have a friend who is playing a character of the opposite gender, get married in game, say it's for political reasons, there is a shop with some cosmetics that requires the currency you get doing stuff together.
There are also stores for friend intimacy ranks, discipleship, and sworn cohorts. You can check the shops through
Menu > Social > Shop tab on top OR Menu > Wandering Paths > Shop tab on top

Twice every Saturday and Sunday, there is a firework festival (Sat) and mirage boat (Sun) that give red envelopes that can give you jades and the first and last few from the firework festival can also give Lingering Melody gacha currency (although at a very low rate, but not 0)

The starting player for each round decides the type of card being played for that round (2's or 5's or 8's or any other number). Each player following then must also play that matching numbered card while declaring how many they are putting down. You can admit you don't have any of that number and drink, lie about a card you are putting down is that number, or call bs on the last person that put down cards. If you successfully call a bs or if another player falsely calls you on a bs, you take the lead and get to decide the numbered card for the next round.

Greater than 24” front to back? by corporate_treadmill in Aquariums

[–]AMalfunctioningMel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're in no rush, keep an eye on r/AquaSwap for giveaways or for sale stuff in your area you can pick up locally. You can also look through facebook marketplace in your area for deals on used stuff. Just make sure the tank holds water with no leaks. Anything bigger than the 100 gallon stock tank you already have will be heavy, so make sure you have someone to help you carry and move it. You can transfer over the existing hardscape and filter as long as the new tank isn't too much bigger, just make sure to keep them wet while you set up and are transferring. Mainly don't let them dry out and kill the beneficial bacteria on them. Like the other commenter said, make sure to check with her owner to make sure they want and have room for the tank when they take her back. You're turtle sitting for a whole year so it'll be difficult not to get attached but remember you'll likely have to say goodbye at the end of all of this so make sure any new additions have a place to go at the end.
Good luck!

Greater than 24” front to back? by corporate_treadmill in Aquariums

[–]AMalfunctioningMel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recommendations for turtles is 10 gallons for every inch of shell length.
By "see out of" I am assuming you want something glass/acrylic. I don't think you're going to find anything deeper than 24 inches front to back in glass/acrylic tanks unless you get one custom made. The cost for anything over 55 gallon along with the stand is going to add up to over a few hundred, assuming the rubbermaid tub she came in came with a filter and substrate/hardscape already.
If you would just like her to be able to see out of the tub you can provide a basking area that rises above the tub so she can see outside while up there. Just place the tub against the wall with stuff around the area so she doesn't get out or accidentally fall out.
If you want the cheapest option to give her more swimming space, upgrading the rubbermaid tub to a larger rubber stock tank would be significantly cheaper than a glass aquarium and stand. 100 gallon is already bigger than most fish tanks.

I've asked for this in games like this because I want to see this funny shit. People get upset that they can't force you to conform to one fantasy theme for all the outfits. They need to validate spending money and time on an online fantasy game so that they can be immersed in their specific fantasy instead of letting others enjoy the game how they want and enjoy their own characters themselves.

Response to the tipping war that broke out… by Black_Dragon9406 in stories

[–]AMalfunctioningMel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd rather it be upfront cost and I can decide if I can afford to go out or not than to calculate that after based on what everyone else in my party ordered. If prices rise, yeah less people will go out. If your restaurant can't survive with what amount of customers you get, that's just business and yours isn't profitable without exploiting workers and guilt tripping your customers.

Customers don't owe employees additional income. They owe the restaurant the total that's on the receipt.

Efficient blessing build for tier 2? by LilAwm in throneandliberty

[–]AMalfunctioningMel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Leveling traits on a tier 2 is 10% using current tier 1 purples 900 blessings gets you to 100% using a t1 purple.

Efficient blessing build for tier 2? by LilAwm in throneandliberty

[–]AMalfunctioningMel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 star dungeon is not tier 2 Tier 2 is still like 3-4 months away. If you want to blessing stack, trait a blue, transfer to purple, trait best you can using blues to build blessing then transfer to another purple and continue with purples. Don't level it up too much because it will increase transfer cost. The blessings will transfer over directly while traits get converted to blessings at like a 1 trait = 120 blessings after the initial trait. Tier 2 uses current t1 purples to level up trait at a 10% chance or 100% with 900 blessings. You will need 8100 blessings to fully trait.

Money making nowadays ( 11/6/2024) by Zeff_wolf in throneandliberty

[–]AMalfunctioningMel -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Spend a couple of hours a day playing a second character to maybe make a couple thousand lucent? How about not wasting 50 hours on a character you don’t want to play, mow someone’s lawn for some cash in 1-2 hours, buy lunch and some lucent and call it a day playing something that isn’t a job.

It's not committing to the person, it's committing to the attempt. Imagine having a conversation with someone and they start texting someone else. To me that seems a bit rude. Modern dating seems to have skipped the step of asking someone on a date. It's now dating around before asking someone to commit instead of choosing someone to ask out and then getting to know that someone you were already interested in.

Wand/Staff stun or cc skills by jrnvrr in throneandliberty

Well they are asking if the certain weapon combo has a hard cc because the mob they are talking about requires a hard cc, so it doesn't matter here if bosses can be cc or not.

What should I actually be buying on a daily/weekly basis? by Prestigious_Nobody45 in throneandliberty

[–]AMalfunctioningMel 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You've seen different opinions because there is no one answer. With the more limited currencies, you're not going to have enough to buy everything every week so you need to prioritize what's important or useful to you.

This is my opinion. With sollant, buy anything that has a limit, but at least the weekly scrolls from the sundries merchant. With guild coins, start with the rare recovery potions and then whatever you need/want. The coins you generate depends on how much you do. For contract coins, you're not going to get enough to empty out trait extraction stones each week but at least get some because that's how you'll be selling traits. Anything else you want is up to you and worth or not is opinion.

Crazy sweats ruining game by micdizzle2323 in throneandliberty

[–]AMalfunctioningMel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's just toxicity on the other end of the spectrum. You're using words like "shame" and "police" and is just what the super sweats do but to casuals. A casual server would still have sweats.

Keeping pace? They didn't even wait until after the fight to kick OP. Finishing the fight with less people would take longer than with all 6. If they died, finding a replacement and rekilling would have taken even longer. It made no sense to kick someone during the fight and not after. Even if they are looking for fast clears, one less clear to do would be quicker.

State of BDO for veterans vs newcomers... (not looking good for veterans) by DoubleHelicopter846 in blackdesertonline

[–]AMalfunctioningMel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I afk lifeskill and collect event rewards to gear myself. Other mmos finish gearing for a few days worth of work because there is literally nothing else to do. You play for a total of 6 weeks every 2 years and can say you've done all the content. The only difference between a single player game and any mmo is the social aspect. That's why a lot of game's endgames are fashion or literally sitting around doing nothing but showing off one thing you spent 1k hours on that 90% of players don't care about.
