>Is it P2W?
Yes if you're willing to drops hundreds of dollars. Three critical things that will aid you in progression are having 4 pets which you can buy with real money or in game money, buying weight limit increases with either loyalty or real money, and artisan memories which you can buy with either loyalty or real money. These items are more accessible when spending real money considering the marketplace is sparse regarding pets and loyalty takes longer to get than real world cash.

>NewFAQs
Newfags might be overwhelmed by the information overload at the beginning. Do yourself a favor and "turn off system notifications" in the Settings>Game options. Check everything in that window.
Avoid lag by turning off High End mode in the Settings>Screen tab. Be sure to check "Remove other's effects" and uncheck "Display other's names" for an enjoyable world boss experience.
For everyone's sake, read the links, Google it, and Ctrl+F, BEFORE asking the same stupid question other people previously have in the same thread.
If you don't know if the game is "worth it," ask for a guest pass in the thread.

But I'm already brown.

Been really interested in the game, heard about the pet thing that people get for the referral. Anyone interested in hooking an user up? Obv looking to get level 35 and beyond. Thanks in advance

NA for reference

HIROOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Black Spirit Crystal
For a week
No

it rarely occurs that your thumbnail gets replaced by someone else's thumbnail when you upload at the exact same moment.

If you party with people significantly higher/lower level than you is it a waste of time?

Need to figure out if I can play just one character with bros or if I need to make one for solo play as well

brown girls best girls

>significantly

yes, if you get the group XP debuff it is.

so how far does that new questline go? I'm at the pirate island now, how many more quests are there gonna be? and how many epheria sailboat designs do you get out of it all at the end?

Is there a guide on how to make good looking waifus? I want to make a sexy T H I C C Waifu

kys avatarfag

pretty cute

3 in total from the chain apparently

take movespeed buffs/armour with you, you'll need 5 speed for diving

the first cave and shipwreck I've just about barely managed with the help of the Seal elixir, does it get worse?

kys

How do I join a guild?

You have to be in the same channel

Who /comfy/ sailing here?

enjoy

>tfw wanna level sailing while nobody's doing it yet
>tfw no autopathing on the high sea
fuck that shit

holy gooks
leveling from 56 to 57 is already a pain in the ass with olvia channels

Downloading the game for the first time after a friends recommendation and was curious about the PvP Scene and how bad or good it is pertaining to griefing.

I'm a fucking care-bear, pussified PvE player and I'm not big on PvP especially not World PvP where you get ganked countless times, had that problem back in WoW trying to level in STV.

What's it like and is there anyway to avoid it at all?

word I'm way too impatient to get anywhere in this game
I forced myself to grind to just 56 and it already felt like a pain for the last 30%
now 10% into 57 I just gave up

>had that problem back in WoW trying to level in STV.

>is there anyway to avoid it at all?

you should cancel now

Even on double xp weekends I've never ran into too much trouble with PKers at the popular end game spots.

Yeah I somehow managed to get 57 without killing myself but I'm done grinding forever now. I just do comfy lifeskilling and world bosses now and it's fun.

I'm going to find out who you are and camp you

It's not as bad as people itt will make it seem. There's a lot of anti-social faggots playing this game and they'll leave you alone most of the time unless you try to grind in a few commonly contested areas. Even if you do come across a pker there's plenty of other areas to grind when you're around level 56+ as long as you've 160~ AP.

You shouldn't miss out on the combat in this game just because some user tells you to cancel. The combat is top tier.

Post more of your blowjobs

I mean I'm find with some PKing it was really bad at some points in WoW though. Holy fuck did I get destroyed by people camping me for weeks or months.
>High level player comes into a low-level zone
>Proceeds to kill all the NPCs, haulting any progress for a few hours

I'm reading through the Google.Doc Guide, is this up to date, with this Ronatz guy?

>The combat is top tier.
fucking lol, you mean the pvp that's completely gear based or the pve where you grind mindlessly dumb mobs

That won't happen unless you really piss someone off.
And even then you can just change channels.

WHO /PORTRATTONAROWBOAT/ HERE?
Don't you dare make fun of my graphics though.

>Member of the "Morlocks" guild.

On my way. This open ocean is scaring me tho. ;_;

What? Who is Morlocks?

Holy shit this Shai is dressed like a samurai. I wish I could take a screencap but it would look like ass.

Just take a screen I want to see.

I just won a Lahrs Armor from the marketplace but I actually prefer the W armor to the R

Should I sell it back and hope I win the W or just keep the R?

you bought it to lose money?
are you retarded?

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE SECOND PIECE OF DEBRIS ON THE SECOND SHIPWRECK FUCKING FUCK I'VE ALREADY SPENT 2 POTIONS ON THIS SHIT

lul in the seaweed

it was 8mill m8, im not losing much

Looks awful but here. The other Shais are dressed like Tamers.

redpill me on pearl shop outfits like the marine romance one, /bodg/

can i mix and match them together with other sets? is it skins for my armor or actual armor pieces?

doesn't matter how much, buying something you dont want only to lose money makes you a retard

trying to justify it is even worse

Don't you get the full amount of cash from cash shop sales on the marketplace?

>tamer can just use heilang to get to the bottom of the ocean
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT THIS QUEST JUST GOT A WHOLE LOT EASIER

Jesus christ those battleships were fast, they wrecked me so badly. Now i'm stuck at middle of ocean.

how did you do it bro

Tamer confirmed #1 start rerolling now

I'm not answering any questions from a dumb faggot frog poster.

i posted a girl now. are you going to call me a girlposter? As you can see, it's merely your perception that my image has any effect on the contents of my post

Well, its kinda comfy in here. Tho there's a 30 feet long shark near me what is kinda scaring me.

It took a long time but I just went straight north west from Port Euphoria. There were lots of sharks that almost killed my boat but you're actually able to outrun them without taking any hits if by just going straight forward in one direcetion for a while. If you accidentally got really close to one, or god forbid just fucking hit it with your boat, it will hit you a few times but if you just keep going and hold shift and W you should be okay. The boats (Probably pirates) aren't really anything to worry about as I just steered clear of them and they didn't chase me or didn't chase me much either one.

If you see ANY splashing in the water in the distance then turn the fuck away from them because it's always a shark. If you have to go in the opposite direction just to make sure you don't get near one then do it. Don't take any chances.

I feel like playing Wind Waker so many times gave me the seafaring experience I needed to make it without dying.
youtube.com/watch?v=w0IPkWMBZGk
They're called "Nineshark"s so I assume they're nine feet long.

>what is kinda scaring me.
based esl

>hold shift and w
Wait this actually works on boats? I haven't noticed any difference in speed

that was kinda beautiful...

So this might be odd to ask but how is the story and lore of Black Desert? I know this is a MMO but I still enjoy a competent story in my MMOs.

No you're still a dumb faggot frog poster.

how long did it take you in total?
fuck I'm scared I don't wanna lose my boat in the middle of bumfuck nowhere...

i just answered my own question anyway because someone put 3 pieces of a set on the marketplace

thank you anti-frogposter

Tons of lore but the actual story is utter shit until you get to Mediah/Valencia

the main story is not very interesting but there are tons of side quests with quite fun/interesting but usually very short and self-contained storylines

Well I'm not 100% sure either but I can tell that autopathing in a boat feels slower than usual so if it's anything like horses I assume it does help. It might just be me and it doesn't work but I'm doing it anyway just for the placebo effect as I pray for the shark not to kill me.
I wasn't keeping track but I'd say about an hour. I was probably just as scared and just kept going without stopping. In game, it took from about 6 PM to probably 4-6 AM, not sure how long that is in real time since night is faster.

anyone in this thread have an extra guess pass?

Finished the magoria questline. Literally nothing else to do here, there's an invisible wall right next to port ratt. Underwater gathering is also completely pointless, nothing unless you want the new coral accessories but they are garbage and cost 50m for +0 just for the manos.

>on boat
>summon heilang

there you go

AOMUQRV-BGEK3E1-AH7CEHM-ALT3J

got it thanks

this is kind of avatarfaggy

no prob m8, enjoy

Does that diving mask you get actually do anything? It seems like it doesn't at all and it doesn't say it does either. I guess it's just to look dumb.

did you use any ship repair kits?

I don't think you know what avatarfagging is

While I was getting attacked by sharks I was wondering why I didn't think to take any with me.Definitely would have made things a lot less terrifying.

okay cool I'm gonna stock up on some then, I believe I can make it

Lore is kinda entertaining, but i don't think it's told well. I feel like i get most of the lore from just observing the world.

The story is awfully generic, and hard to follow because you level up so fast that the main quests start overlapping and sometimes you do them out of order accidentally, and then it eventually just sort of ends around level 50, and then i don't think if there's even another story because up until 56 it doesn't seem like i've gotten another story, just random quests.

>he hasn't fought his black spirit yet

>I'm reading through the Google.Doc Guide, is this up to date, with this Ronatz guy?
yes

So my ship got destroyed on the way to Port Ratt, how can i repair it and where?

That spoiler doesn't surprise me in the least, i mean, it's painfully obvious that he is up to no good.

I probably wont ever get to do it because i'm not autistic enough to grind to higher levels so it'll take me about a decade to get to whatever level you need to be to start that questline, unless they increase the soft cap first.

At what fishing level does it become worth it to go out at sea and hot spot fish?

Doesn't do anything

not worth it

>camping market for pearl item shoes/boots for my girl 'cause a girl cant have too many options
>comfy in a warm apartment
>sipping some drink
>working on my hobby irl as i camp

mfw sailcucks are out there dirtying their hands paddling as I, master of the marketplace, lap up fashion accessories

You're gonna have to go back, my brub. There's no docks in the ocean

never
they move every 3-5 minutes

welp apparently they don't exist in the NA/EU version so there goes that

>he isn't sailing with the GMs
LMAO

What does the sailing skill actually do? There's only like 5 total boats and you can drive them all without a skill restriction.

I think it's just for the guild galleys but I might be wrong

wtf
where is this happening?

Why the fuck are they able to get away with two literal pay to swim cash shop suits and leave the swimming so fucking horrible? I don't get it. Why the fuck do they think anyone wants to do that shit. This is probably the only thing I think is actually pay to win and it makes me mad. It's a lot more than convenience as the current boats are actually worse than the cash shop suits and swimming regularly is so unbearable. Not to mention it takes like a half a month to be able to craft one of the new boats so most people will either need to spend hours traveling to the new area to do 5 quests or just ignore ALL of the content for the half of a month. Why?
