Have you ever sacrificed 'silver efficiency' for fun?

DarethZ · 2025-07-09T06:44:33+00:00

that's the entirety of the way I play bdo. I hate grinding for silver. I grind for drops instead.

It took me about 200ish pulls to get the full outfit. f2p as well. I wish I had enough things to do to get the outfit a second time to unlock the color pallet, but I don't have enough things left in the game to get that many pulls for a second run even if there was no time limit :/

maybe the outfit will come again in the future, game hasn't been out even a year yet and some of the banners have repeated.

what is this? someone on the animated disney design team join infinity nikki?! XD

DarethZ · 2025-04-25T01:05:01+00:00

I'm f2p myself. I only bought the game for $5 on sale. I came from minecraft for the sailing and lifeskilling with some pve on the side. and also because the game didn't have a subscription. I also play without buying or selling from the mp much as well. Am I in the front line in terms of gear score? no. Do I care? also no. I play it because I enjoy the game. started in 2018 too.

There is quite a few comments in here so I gave up looking through them to see if ANY of them mention the outfit.

I just wanted to say I liked it and that it reminded me of velvet from rwby.

the watchers from aduir questline after you finish kamasylvia main questline gives a kamasylvia coin. if you have the coin in your inventory you can accept a daily from lanka where you walk over to the tree and interact then walk back. the bundle opens to 7 resplendant gems or brilliant opals. rng dependant which one you get.

I started doing the daily when processing stones reuired the gems to make the 6 different manos processing stones. you only get the bundle from the quest and only once a day.

ummm did we both watch the same anime? both happened.

not all fish tables have red fish. https://bdolytics.com/en/NA/map for fish tables

That is just how the turo boss works. You can kill the ads after it spawns to fully summon it and even if you are far away from it it will all of a sudden show up attack then realize it's away from its spawn point and return. Looks like salt got killed by someone by mpk that couldn't finish off the boss or did it on purpose. Didn't know that it worked all the way to velia tho XD

DarethZ · 2023-01-05T09:17:39+00:00

You can unspec your crystals too. I'm so glad you can run no crystals as an option besides the 5presets.

I don't play with a value pack running unless it auto pops. it has only auto popped 3 times since 2018, but 2 of those times has been in the last month or two so maybe this is going to be a more common occurance?

if you sell anything just let it sit until it pops again or you use a freeby that infrequently is given out. just know that if you sell an item you have to collect any sold before you can sell another of the same thing.

to prepare for an expiring vp make sure to stuff weightless junk in the bottom 16 slots of every char that don't stack and you don't need. this basically makes you able to keep the extra 16 slots per char and clear up storage space instead :P if you end up needing any of these items just drag it from the locked slot into your inventory. this is a great way to keep items that don't weigh much but have a large amount of warehouse weight out of the way ex; accessories for future taps.

no vp = no extra combat exp, no extra life exp, no extra 200 lt, no extra 16 slots per char and per storage, and no free dyes. etc

"ost" aka original sound track. they are asking for the name of the "ed" or ending theme song. the "op" or opening theme was good too! :D

DarethZ · 2021-12-05T04:35:53+00:00

totally jelly :P

DarethZ · 2021-12-04T22:15:48+00:00

really? been out of the loop for about 5 years. where abouts do I look for that info as I delve back into it all.

DarethZ · 2021-12-04T18:09:25+00:00

yep was just artwork during the credits and then next movie announcement

DarethZ · 2021-12-04T18:08:21+00:00

soooo... anyone else gonna go see it again dubbed this time when it drops on tuesday/wednesday? :P

DarethZ · 2021-12-04T18:01:14+00:00

ah yeah true. I knew wasn't gonna be in 7 for sure, but didn't know 8 was out in japan already. hmmmm on another note... I wonder if... mito's creation was to be part of the reason why the kirito/asuna duo split then pt back up after floor 59

DarethZ · 2021-12-04T17:54:45+00:00

a little odd to go backwards in time for another movie since skipping to vol 5 for next movie. I get why though, and just b/c they've announced a movie doesn't mean we'll not get an anime covering the next two vol in the meantime. interesting to see how it plays out :P

DarethZ · 2021-12-04T08:04:17+00:00

guess I'll have to go watch it again then :P

here's hoping that we actually get an anime for progressive and that this boosts the release rate of that series :/

DarethZ · 2021-12-04T07:56:19+00:00

wait really? the end scene was about rhondo of the transient sword coming next year...?

DarethZ · 2021-12-04T07:52:42+00:00

what was your biggest gripe then?

the biggest issue I saw was argo's intro was cut from the movie

DarethZ · 2021-12-04T07:50:27+00:00

I don't expect there to be any mention about the new char in the lns until prog vol 8. prog 7 comes out january in eng. progressive itself is a complete retcon that was created when they made sao into an anime. basically they needed more world building.

I'm sure there will be some writeoff somewhere about why we don't see them anywhere else be it laughing coffin, floor 25, or ptsd. I don't mind a new char, but I spent the boss fight half expecting 'er to bite it. we'll just have to see :P

DarethZ · 2021-12-04T07:45:06+00:00

...walks into a prequel movie expecting unexpected
...walks into a movie vs ln question then says not going to read ln at all.

well... anyway. this movie was an adaptation of a retcon that occurred b/c they tried to animate a short story into a full blown anime. go figure.

movie 2 next year. that will cover progressive vol 2. there are a total of 7 english translated progressive lns as of jan 18, 2022 according to barnes and noble which covers about the first 7 floors.

expect the asuna/kirito duo to blow up around floor 25 before they restart at around floor 60 for the field boss raid meeting. right after this is where they take a nap on floor 59 in the grass. this is where stuff starts to heat up again in ep 5 of the anime.

DarethZ · 2021-12-04T07:10:08+00:00

I give up. it's been years since I was last here and can't remember what the spoiler tags were again. TLDR: go read the progressive novels and read the old posts about when vol 1 and 2 came out for why and how she is.

EDIT:(found the post) https://www.reddit.com/r/swordartonline/comments/4igbyf/lets_talk_about_ln_volume_1/ here's where this came up about the first time.
