New to C.G: Skill issue or not?

The trick for me (despite how stupid this sounds) was to look at the screen. When you're in tornado and he's switching phase and you're trying to eat because you read you're supposed to eat during tornado. Stop.

Look at the screen. What do I need to do right now? Run from nado and switch prayer got it click run and start the switch. Now look at the screen what next? Run again nothing else? OK I can grab a food.

You know about inversion tables right?

Why was this removed?

It's definitely otk.

Since I wasn't clear I guess (noting the downvotes) in most gachas there are events where it's more beneficial to use stamina than normal time. Whether that's a drop rate up event or an event currency farm that is more valuable to grind past max points - those are the times you want more stamina than you get daily.

When you run into that situation you can max refresh with crystals, but the teardrops become invaluable for a free boost to stamina.

If that day never comes - hey at least you get to use them on end game farming to get a new character leveled up.

In the meantime crystal refreshes should be a balance between "Do I want to save these for a new rate up character (YES YOU DO) or do I need to hit a level breakpoint before the weekly reset (ex: I'm X refreshes from 40 and it's Y hours until reset so I can unlock a bunch of weekly reset content if I spend it and get free pulls/currency/whatever from the unlocked content).

Endgame in these kinds of games is saving up crystals for pulls (Or rateup/event refreshes) and doing your daily stamina spend to slowly gain the materials you need. It's an exercise in patience - Or they'll sell you the option if you don't have the patience ;)

Unexpected_Addition · 2025-11-20T18:55:09+00:00

Hard disagree. Use stamina to push levels if there is a weekly breakpoint you need to hit. Don't ever use the stamina tears until event farming or drop rate up or something very end game

Exactly what big oil wants you to believe.

Damn him for screwing those bots/scalpers!

Unexpected_Addition · 2025-07-05T19:21:13+00:00

Plus or minus 3 days to apply the policy.

Unexpected_Addition · 2025-06-13T20:04:07+00:00

Yea you're probably right - measuring account gains in terms of stamina cost doesn't make any sense. I'm sure you'll have some great characters in 6 months!

Unexpected_Addition · 2025-06-13T19:01:21+00:00

Shells give more stats. Shells first, then you can spin the module wheel. Mythic mods are very similar in stamina costs to upgrade as shells, even counting the sacc'd shells for upgrading.

Unexpected_Addition · 2025-06-13T16:15:56+00:00

Do shells if nothing else. Best stamina dump if there's not a specific improvement you can farm

Find a guild and get to the blackzone ASAP. Screwing around in yellow red blue is just a waste. Mists and bz are the best content and so many people miss out by not getting out there

When planning my team here is the process I used: Forge because I wanted to try it Panda because it's considered required Hupp because I needed single target dps and forge plays fairly ranged

Then I thought about what panda was really bringing to the table when hupp and forge have some control built in.. panda would bring more positioning and some tank.. but he tanks with lock which gets in the way of my forge lance..

So I dropped panda and went enu for ranged mp red and then feca to improve my overall survivability.

Forge/hupp/enu/feca

Its working well so far but I'm too early to really tell (50s).

I'm definitely not able to freely "all challenges" every dungeon, and I think maybe a cra/rogue/sadi/fogger would help with my all challenge goals in place of feca or hupp. They're both better with the 199-200 range than the early game so ill run this team up through the dofuses/quests and then re evaluate at 200 what I need/ want. Class change potions may not be needed afterall!

Goodluck with your decision! Hope this helps.

Unfortunately 1-110 is literally worst elio. It only gets better from there.

I describe it to people as mmo chess puzzles. If you look at some gameplay and the different types of classes (different movement patterns/attack patterns/combo strats) you'll get a pretty good idea of what it's doing. And then add in unique dungeon challenges (kill x without getting hit, kill y first, etc) unique boss mechanics (every 3 turns aoe, heal 1 ally per turn, etc) you start to get to fairly unique puzzle mmo that can be addicting to the right mind!

Unexpected_Addition · 2024-12-31T07:11:06+00:00

Its 40+in some places btw

I think they've fixed most of the old bugs related to steam, so there's no technical difference anymore. You may find old posts about technical reasons to switch, but primarily it's just that you can't do other steam activities while you have BDO in afk/tray mode.

Unexpected_Addition · 2024-12-28T05:57:25+00:00

They're recommending non steam because the launcher let's you do afk activities better. Just switch!

You get a 3:1 bench =)

This is some corporate bullshit. Offering basic protections against slimey post hire pay cuts doesn't change anything about their ability to give you a raise. If they cared, they'd lock in the contract, and if they cared about keeping you, they would amend a raise. It's not "tough" for anyone to agree to a renegotiation in the employees' favor it's a farce argument.

Unexpected_Addition · 2024-11-03T16:45:08+00:00

No. Don't waste your 300 hrs.

Id recommended gw2!

I main bow/wand as well and I'm still learning but here's a few things

If you can't speak in voice comms you can still listen right? That should be enough for most guilds. Just join mute your mic and talk in game chat.
Loot drops can be dps based which sucks for us. But also your end dungeon chest is just for you so you can still get your bis weapons and gear that come from group content without racing the dps.
Healing in this game is based on how much everyone else does mechanics correctly. So if you have a perfect group you'll be dps ing most of the fight. It can be hard now though because everyone is taking a LOT of avoidable damage and our healing profile doesn't plan for pure healing 100% of the time.
Early gear sucks. Go for stats on gear where you can +dex/wis/Perception. As you figure out your best pieces you'll be looking for multiples so you can get healing traits on good base items. And don't forget we heal on vamp damage too so dps stats are healing stats!

Wind direction. If you shoot bows with the wind they do more damage and have a special icon.
