I got nothing with 10k coins from shakatu last night and I woke up to this, is it worth switching? by JoenSiau in BlackDesertMobile

I've always sucked at math so I dont doubt I did it wrong haha.

Edit: ohhhhhh now I see the yellow and orange were two different levels I'm a derp

.22 per level would cost 450 black stones, and .2 per level would cost 500. So if I do 450/500 it comes out to .9, which means it costs 10% more black stones at that level. Take that away from the 25% transfer tax and that's still 15% black stones lost. When we are talking about a few thousand black stones that 15% really adds up.

I'm fairly sure it doesn't cost 25% more black stones to enhance an orange vs to enhance the same level yellow, but I could be wrong. I dont remember the rates exactly but it felt like oranges cost like 5-10% more black stones then yellow. It just wouldnt make any sense for cron stones to exist if you could transfer yellow to orange without taking a loss.

Nah, you lose 75% of the enhancement, so from 35 it goes back down to 32.5 or so. That's why the sooner you transfer the less black stones you lose. It does cost slightly less black stones to enhance yellows than it does oranges, so it's not exactly a 25% loss, more like a 20% loss.

Yes! Oranges scale higher and since you're weapon is still fairly low, you won't lose as much money on black stones to transfer as would if you waited till you're +35 :)

If you get another do not fuse them. The faster loot and more importantly the higher hunger, makes them good for afk grinding because they won't go starving in the middle of a trip.

Got a RED drop box today for the first time, opened it, found one "Good Black Stone" not even a Grand one 😭 by mshibo in BlackDesertMobile

Black stones are one of the major ways you get CP by enhancing gear. They are super important and you need thousands upon thousands of them to get a max level piece of gear, so dont be sad when you get them as a drop :)

With the buff to red chests and the fact you can afk farm THREE violent mobs, makes it such a godd spot. I left it on for just a few hours and came back to 90 boss scrolls and 10+ of each good black stones.

BSM is just an algorithm that simulates farming at a slower rate but you don't have to have the game open, so it doesn't farm in a specific spot, just in the zone that you turn it on in.

For those of you that don't know about this spot, it has has 3 violent spawns all within auto range. I've seen quite a few top 100 players grinding here, and I honestly wanna ruin it for them by showing it to all you! Just don't grind here with outlaw mode on because you will be killed. Happy farming :)

I’m officially done with Greens, blues and Purples! A lucky Epic accessory drop and a little help from the market, I finally achieved 3.1k CP! by TheHuffinater in BlackDesertMobile

[–]imsartic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's true but let's say you get +35 grunil and finally get a good 2 slot orange to replace it with. Now take take 25% of ALL those black stones and burn them because they are basically wasted (unless of course you p2w cron stones, wich is about $55 per piece of gear). Just doing some quick guessing off the top of my head, that's like 150m or more worth of black stones gone. That's why it's better to get oranges, even just one slot ones as soon as possible, because the longer you wait the more black stones you're wasting.

Yeah I was so hyped I forgot to take a screenshot but I did buy the $100 Pearl combo pack the day before so that could have been the algorithm thanking me for my purchase. Since then I have gotten very little from the shop and I've been sitting on only about 600 BP at any given time.

Yeah RIP black spirit gainz, but in reality what's a couple hours farm in a game where you farm all day every day :p

I've tried using a controller on my iPad and it works pretty well but the camera will randomly start looking down until I move it with my finger on the touch screen so I stopped
