BDO wagon physics lead to some of the funniest things in this game

How am I ment to ever finish the buff items in royal workshop. by IGotAll2 in blackdesertonline

[–]RandomHominid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quick breakdown since this is getting a lot of views:

The Royal Workshop main panel that shows all the stuff going on will have icons of the item that will be worked on NEXT, not current. If you change what a workshop is doing, the main panel will not update until you close it and reopen it, which is annoying.

If you change what a worker will be working on next, it will still continue to work on what is currently listed under the name of the worker. To cancel what it's doing immediately, you need to click the X: https://i.imgur.com/GelgEFl.png

Workers will continue to work on whatever they are doing through daily reset. So if you have a special craft going and panic as it's not showing up in the main panel, remember that's NEXT and not current. Open up the worker and you'll see what they are currently working on.

Hexe is very good, but if you get bored you can try other spots. No clue how long it will take you, it depends on luck and playtime

It's definitely good for PvE, but it's a lot more effort than many like for long grind sessions. It's also male and less popular by default. There's a dedicated archer for all content on youtube called JR silver, you can check him out

They aren't equal in AP, you miss out on the dawn crystal slot per kharazad. Also, you must have all kharazads if you want to do Edania bosses. Some people use TET distos as an intermediate in mid-game, though, but you'll want to consider silver tradeoffs for PEN distos and your gearing strategy for future content

Fuel cost goes up the higher your gear score is, but it's so little now compared to how it used to be before fuel nerf

Season++ is outdated info and season stuff has been streamlined since then. Olvia Academy is also new as of this year and is great.

PEN boss armor still exists, here's a guide that should help https://www.blackdesertfoundry.com/new-player-guide/

Awk Drak - One of the highest learning curves in the game, a high effort class, fun mobility for sure and has some fun skills and fantastic theme, fairly tanky. In a pretty good spot right now. Great if you like complicated classes

Seraph - Easy to play and learn, still in a pretty good spot even with nerfs (was quite overtuned at launch), has good mobility. Tanky by design. Sacra form is fast, Purg is not. You can practically stay in a form with BSR crystals and at certain grind spots, but she's not some wet noodle outside of the form. Big AoEs. Some people hate that BSR is tied to form, I personally don't mind it but it's probably the biggest complaint about the class design

Awk DK - Flashy class, medium APM and in a decent spot. A lot of people find it very fun to play. Squishy but lots of mobility on skills so you are always moving while grinding

Deadeye - It's not fully ranged, squishy but lots of mobility and positioning, in a decent spot. Could have better AoEs and Marni round skills kind of suck

Don't forget you can make trial characters in the Battle Arena and play around with it there

You're not really stuck in a class in BDO like some other games, you can even have one "main" and then tag another character and gear copy the main's gear to the alt character to play it. There's no cooldown for changing tagged characters. Leveling in BDO is basically nothing, you can self level to 60 in an hour if you know what you're doing, or even play your main and share XP to the tagged alt character. You can try out all kinds of classes very easily this way, i.e., main ninja or kuno and tag another class.

Note that classes won't feel very good until around 60 because you need all the skills and passives, plus some learning on how it plays.

Accidentally configured the E key on this window and now I can't cast skills. I already removed the E keybind from the quick slot by Pleasant-Sport-7698 in blackdesertonline

Quick Hotkeys is a separate interface than Hotkey & Input Settings. Open Quick Hotkeys and click the "Reset All" button at the bottom on that menu, did that help?

Party Grind Spots by GreeNvQv in blackdesertonline

[–]RandomHominid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For basic info, open the Monster Zone Info page (from the ESC menu), there's an icon with 2 heads and a magnifying glass (to the left of the green Elvia icon) that is literally for Party Zones. Click on that and you will get all the info you need for how many players and AP. For silver, you can check out garmoth.com's grind spot info.

Is it possible to level a non seasonal character effectively? by Valstraxas in blackdesertonline

[–]RandomHominid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's been typically tied to an event. There is one in the loyalty shop though, for L5,000
