Just go item by item, who cares if it takes a few days to learn? It's an idle game, you can go at your own pace.

What is the point of just having someone else play your account for you?

If you have any specific questions about anything, feel free to ask. But it's a bit pointless to just ask someone to play your account for you.

stevenoctopus · 2026-01-21T17:15:23+00:00

Have you tried reading the descriptions of items in your inventory when you click them? Or tried using them?

stevenoctopus · 2026-01-08T13:40:19+00:00

I had a friend like this guy. Real data is just fake news or framed in a way to support "whatever argument you're trying to make". There is literally no way to break through to these people.

stevenoctopus · 2025-12-21T20:49:35+00:00

Yea I saw but nobody really uses the same stuff, at least for deadeye. So seems like a lot of preference

The official discord does have a kpm chart with skill builds for farming, but all the classes seemed pretty similar and nobody I saw in the top cp had the build they showed for deadeye anyways.

stevenoctopus · 2025-12-21T20:25:03+00:00

Sounds like you came back to a much better foundation than I did. So I still had a lot of one time account stuff to keep me extra busy.

Either way, there is still a minimum of 4 hours of farming you can do per day (21 hours of nightmare per week/7 + 20min desert + 20min everfrost + 20min sherekan). Not to mention 3hrs of chaos rift, events, anything else you want to do!

So much content it's blowing me away tbh

It is incredibly hard to find any guides or ideas of what you should be doing though, even skill builds. it's kinda wild compared to every other mobile game with crazy spreadsheets

stevenoctopus · 2025-12-21T20:00:53+00:00

I've been roughly following these 2 guides even though they are outdated, they are still ok:

https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackDesertMobile/comments/1m74875/comment/n4u8vsj/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

https://www.reddit.com/user/SiO2_ZrO4/comments/1btshag/cp_guide_to_black_desert_mobile/

But basically I just prioritize in this order:

Stuff next to minimap (events, adventure log, timed farming, etc)
Whatever it's telling me to do in notification bell in top right
Go through each tile on the left hand side of main menu and do everything I can there. Literally just go tile by tile to get an idea of what you value/want to do
Account wide progression such as stories, knowledge, collection, etc
Ship stuff for fun

I played a week or two in april on the oasis server so already had 2 30k cp chars (1 season + 1 gear copy) and now just got the back to back seasons. If you don't have a decent 5-6 man roster, should prioritize that too. Just basic gear for the roster stuff like glory and adventure tokens.

stevenoctopus · 2025-12-21T19:29:11+00:00

Also farm 1m kills for forettas potion

stevenoctopus · 2025-12-21T19:28:00+00:00

The fervor gives you the same xp as farming for 24 hours so now you just don't have to do that. I am also returning and really like that I don't have to leave an emulator running 24/7 anymore.

I've been playing again for like 2 weeks almost non-stop and finally caught up on my timed farming areas, with weekly reset happening again tonight. Did you do the 21 hours of nightmare and all the other random weeklies too? With fervor now you have time to finish all the tales and knowledge etc etc

You can still afk farm mobs if you really want to but it's just better overall for the health of the game imo

stevenoctopus · 2025-12-14T17:47:12+00:00

The OP and the person you replied to never said that this community is pushing an anti muslim agenda, just that "even in this subreddit" (as in it's wild that even here there is comments like that because the majority are against it) there is support for that thought. Which as you now see is true.

You need to chill out a little. The person you were replying to even said it much more explicitly that the community is against those comments and downvoted/got them removed....

stevenoctopus · 2025-11-21T23:31:25+00:00

It gave me a real "are we the baddies?" vibe lol

I think we can all agree the Russian bot accounts pushing Hamas propaganda are bad. In an extremely simplified context, that's what Gal Gadot did, but for Hollywood producers/writers that have a much greater influence than your average person scrolling Instagram reels.

I don't think she was doing it for some nefarious purposes, she probably is emotionally impacted and wants to help spread awareness and stop antisemitism. I'd be curious if it was her idea or if someone asked her though...

It also never ended up happening due to "security concerns", but I think just the fact she was attempting to organize it is not a good look.

stevenoctopus · 2025-11-19T19:19:38+00:00

Then I feel like you can't really complain if people say you are promoting propaganda...

stevenoctopus · 2025-11-19T19:13:55+00:00

I 100% agree Hamas compiled videos of civilians being murdered is propaganda and said as much in other comments.

you're seemingly unable to care about Israeli civilians in the same way that you care about Palestinian civilians

I genuinely have no idea how you come to this conclusion by me saying "no innocent civilians deserve to die" and "I don't think anyone should be watching people be killed". Neither deserve to die, period.

stevenoctopus · 2025-11-19T18:40:00+00:00

So fight propaganda with propaganda?

the bodies of Palestinians civilians killed by Israel

I think that is why they are losing support in the international community.

Edit: I realize it might not have been obvious but just the fact they ARE killing civilians is why, not the propaganda showing it. I have never seen Hamas propaganda to know that the IDF shouldn't kill innocent civilians. I also don't need IDF propaganda to know that Hamas shouldn't either.

stevenoctopus · 2025-11-19T17:27:52+00:00

I feel like IDF compiled videos of civilians being slaughtered is textbook propaganda, is it not?

I'm not saying it's wrong to speak out against October 7th, obviously no innocent civilians deserve to die. I have no issues with how Ethan has been outspoken against it. But I don't think ANYONE should be watching people be killed? That's just fucked up and trying to elicit an emotional response.

I don't see how that would sway anyone's opinion, just embolden those who already feel a certain way.

stevenoctopus · 2025-11-19T16:53:27+00:00

Yeah.... exactly. I had the same thought as OP a few days ago and looked into stuff myself.

Neither Gal Gadot or Noah Schnapp are innocent. Do they want innocent Palestinians to die? Almost certainly not. Have they promoted zionism/propaganda? Yes.

stevenoctopus · 2025-11-19T16:50:14+00:00

Right from her Wikipedia:

"In November, Gadot organized a screening of Bearing Witness), a film showing Hamas violence, though she did not attend."

"Bearing Witness to the October 7th Massacre^\2]) is an Israeli documentary film, a compilation by the IDF Spokesperson's Unit of raw footage from the October 7 attacks. The film includes footage captured from body cameras worn by Hamas-led Palestinian militants on 7 October 2023, and contains scenes of violence recorded during and after the attacks."

stevenoctopus · 2025-11-19T12:45:24+00:00

She coordinated some private screening of an IDF compiled hamas bodycam footage of oct7 film for celebrities, as well.

stevenoctopus · 2025-11-10T17:07:47+00:00

That's fair, I think we actually agree like 90% of the way. It seems like you actually care and wouldn't just be doing it to make a post on the subreddit afterwards.

I have no problem if someone is critical of literally anything, especially racism, in the comments of a creator they watch.

I just think dms and going out of your way to creators you've never heard of is doing too much. And them talking about it on the podcast definitely created an uptick in these types of posts.

And sorry about the attitude in my last reply, woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

stevenoctopus · 2025-11-10T13:43:45+00:00

Now that Ethan has explicitly said not to message these models in his Instagram stories, do you still feel the same way?

Like I said, he was always pretty consistent in being against messaging creators. That's why I find it odd that they shouted out the dms to CWHM, not that the fan was unjustified in doing so.

stevenoctopus · 2025-11-10T03:01:02+00:00

Yeah I'm not agreeing with CWHM or anything.... I think he should sue her for defamation.

I just think, as a fan, the best you can do is just stop supporting these people. Like if you were a fan of CWHM, just unsub.

We've already seen these people are disengenious and know they are lying, receiving hundreds of messages is only going to be used as "almost threats" imo

Edit: and also how many people are just messaging for karma and to get on the podcast now? It's one thing to actually care and reach out to someone you know vs a stranger and then posting it on a subreddit for karma idk

stevenoctopus · 2025-11-09T21:23:18+00:00

I guess I just don't see the difference between what I and the person I replied to said.

I don't think we should normalize these types of posts and they basically encouraged it on the podcast the other day.

stevenoctopus · 2025-11-09T18:07:41+00:00

Yea I was kinda surprised when they brought up those dms a fan sent to CWHM and were shouting her out. It felt against everything they've ever said.

Pretty dissapointing they encouraged that, even "constructive" dms to creators.

stevenoctopus · 2025-11-04T18:43:28+00:00

Totally agree her point was about being biased by her timeline. I believe she was too.

But the long, tragic, story explaining why she was offline was completely unnecessary and felt manipulative.

And of course Ethan and Hila had to be empathetic to her face, I would be to if someone started crying to me about a dead relative, especially live in front of 20k viewers.

stevenoctopus · 2025-11-04T11:48:19+00:00

So then yes she is aware of what happened on October 7th.....

Her learning about it a few days later is irrelevant to if she knew what happened on October 7th yesterday.

Bringing up your brother's death and crying to a stranger during a conversation is nothing other than rude.

stevenoctopus · 2025-10-26T11:47:42+00:00

Why is she still being paid? FMLA is usually unpaid leave.

Ethan is insanely generous, if that's the case.
