Jaxon White
I only need 4 more crimson fruit to become a delphe knight kill me
Christopher Garcia
Splashing point.
Dominic Miller
succ
Leo Hernandez
I will head there now, thank you.
Benjamin Jackson
splashing point is so fucking cozy
Luke King
what gear would you recommend to a level 55 wizard who's new to the game?
I've created some alt-characters that are sitting in Heidel for gear upgrades.
However, I don't know which gear I should even buy and what I should upgrade. Full Grunil set? What staff? I heard liverto might be too expensive if I want to enhance it myself because the repair cost is high. What about rings etc.?
Kayden Long
I've just decided to try this game again after uninstalling near release, and holy fuck it felt alien when I logged in again, I'm being bombarded with shit. I opened my mail and I have something called a House Fame Fund worth 100 million silver, but I can't receive it. Wat do?
Connor Diaz
go to a town where you want to store the money, then receive it.
Sebastian Scott
Lets post some cute brown, thick, pale or fit girls
Luis Perez
I welcome the fishing life.
Jayden Cook
pls someone help
Jason Ortiz
Goodnight NA pals. Goodmorning EU
Ian Thompson
Higher level = less likely you'll waste rod durability and more likely pulling rare fish
You sure? I wouldn't really think that spot would have an npc that is taking fish. Maybe some spot like valencia where it's a hassle to travel and remote is a better spot to sell.
David Parker
I wish I could help. The image is supposed to help. I'm not sure it is even in English.
Jaxon Cooper
or moms!
Dylan Reed
Fit moms in this case
Chase Rodriguez
I don't want to go to bed yet! Why are all of you setting up for bed already?
She's in her fishing costume and everything!
Late night NA is a real thing, honest.
Christopher Morris
There's some Imperial otter fish trader right outside Splashing Point, along with a normal trader.
David Hernandez
Some of us gotta work, "Pet"-Chan.
I sure hope Sharky is okay
Leo Ward
>ITC on the OP neat
Jack Hall
Speaking of Sharky...What's the drop percentage of these witch earrings? I need cash now!
David Thompson
ITC?
Julian Clark
Either 1% or 0.1%. I believe it was the same as Ogre
Michael Peterson
Ah, I see!!
Literally kill me
Jonathan Long
NA or EU?
Jason Cox
Brown!
Joseph Reed
NA Why the question even?
Nathan Perez
Well, heh. Maybe I'd seek you out, and hunt you down.
Grayson Russell
Lad you may be confused, but the OP is from the beta and those people are a bunch of randoms moments before the server shut down.
Jaxson Wright
Ah! Sugar lump I'd much prefer if you were to do that in real life and end my suffering for me instead!
Jaxon Ward
You thought I meant to end you? Hah, milkdrinker.
Carter Reed
Now I'm confused, I thought that was ITC's guild photo from the beta. Are they just randos?
Aaron Bell

Thomas Jenkins
>facial expression doesn't fit the maymay nice cancer reddit
Ryan Morales
Oh yes.
Chase Carter
They're just randoms. We went on a long boat ride from Velia, nearly died by the invisible wall at pirate island, made our way to the port and climbed the tower. The server went down as the sun was rising.
Chase Kelly
>let me put the word panic under my blank expression. Is it so hard to get sleeping pills?
Ryder Collins
What's going on here? :^)
David Edwards
Goodnight /bdog/
I just always felt like my char has conflicting thoughts with her looks. I had a chuckle though
Ryan Walker

Ethan Thompson

Logan Parker

Brandon Jenkins
We call that an internal panic.
Robert Johnson
>tfw every new friend you make in bdo ends up quitting after less than a month what's even the point anymore
Adrian Young
Just quit this dying game like them.
Sebastian Watson
at what +X should I start utilizing failstacks from alt characters for my main hand weapon? It's currently on +9 and I have 2 alts with 2 failstacks, 1 alt with 6 failstacks and another alt with 0 failstacks.
Brayden Walker
and another alt with 7 failstacks.
Nathaniel Martin
...
Jaxson Lee
I know the percentages but I have no idea when it is reasonable to use failstacks. A +2 failstack is okay to use for a +9, right? A +5 failstack however would probablly be better suited for +10 or +11, right?
Kayden Collins
Do you know how to read that table and how to do simple math?
Jace White
it isn't about it, I want to know what someone with experience would do.
Samuel James
Depends on what you're trying to enhance. If the repairs do not require memefrags, then I simply spam enhance until I accidently end up with +15 OR I just force the enhance. I only stop at +15 so I can use that stack to PRI accessories or begin DUO attempts on armor/weps.
Josiah Brooks
Deciding how to use fail stacks generally depends on the worth of the item compared with the average cost to reach that number of stacks.
blackd.de/failstacks/ I have never used this calculator but it should give you some idea about the value of the stacks.
Gabriel Gonzalez
I'll be your friend, I just started playing!
Owen Cruz
Pay attention to force enhance cost. Try not to exceed it and keep your stacks even across all characters. Everything before 13~14 is meaningless in terms of "what's needed" as Black Stones are so cheap. 10-11 and 15-PRI have identical rates but the latter requires a concentrated stone, so it definitely needs stacks to hedge cost.
Eli Russell
how many failstacks should I have before I go itno upgrading the more high value accessories like blue/red or mark of shadows etc.?
Colton Green
>spoon feed me /bdog/! Holy fuck dude follow the chart
Oliver Martin
Planning on playing a striker when it comes out, haven't played in years and have about 40 mil to spend
what kind of accessories should I grab? I've got the ancient core 2 piece and jarettes for the rest of my shit
should I just spend the rest on upgrading my grunil a little?
Asher Torres
Do you want to hit shit? Get accuracy. Do you not want to get hit? Get evasion. Do you want to hit shit harder? Get attack power.
Logan Wright
>ap over accuracy Do not trust the NA posters
Colton Ramirez
What happened to Bimbo-chan?
Julian Young
Has been offline for a very long time. Probably got other stuff to tend to
Jordan Rivera
What happened to Samurai-kun
Asher Bell
I'd say farm to get a DUO grunil set if you don't have boss armor already and get some failstacks ready for his weapon if you plan to play him day one.
Jace Thomas
im at 145 cp, what should I do to get more? I have beer rolling but thats pretty passive. im doing calpheon, mansha, and sausan dailies
what else can I do? im looking to hit 300+ asap
Ethan Thompson
Got tired of the game
James Clark
So I'm confused, going by the pastebin in the OP, is there no active NA guilds at the moment?
Bentley Parker
crocuta sensei will teach everyone
stop making beer. invest 20-30m in buying strawberry fruit from the fruit vendor in calpheon, then make essence of liquor instead. you'll get 255 contribution in a week.
Parker Mitchell
Does the transaction maid go into its cooldown period if you fail to win the bid on an item? Thinking about getting one but I need to know first.
Hudson Howard
is evasion even feasible? Is it really that hard to hit each other in pvp?
Leo Butler
...
Jacob Green
nope! it only goes on cooldown when a transaction is completed~
every evasion reduces your opponent's hit chance by roughly .75%, which makes it worth a 1.5AP detriment to your opponent at end game pvp. very strong, very op.
Anthony Foster
oh alright i was wondering how people were getting fruit when it has such low volumes on the auction house. thanks my dude
Easton Collins
this guy knows
remember kids, Accuracy is king.
Dylan Reyes
There a good spot other than susans to get 54-56?
susans is always super crowded
Anthony White
Elrics if you are aoe god like witch/wiz or sorc etc
Christopher Sullivan
crocuta sensei recommends helms station. the elites are great for cash, but elrics is fine too if you manage to get a channel uncontested
Jaxon Howard
Congrats!

>just finished the Valencia questline #1 >close to 50 energy and 30 CP >decent ring for my alt >cute black spirit (no teeth anymore though) Overall that was pretty worth it, even though not using a compass in the desert is aids. Guess I should probably focus on master 2 trading so I can make use of the nodes to Azereha now right?
Anthony Campbell
How much accuracy do you even need to level with, since you can't even fucking see the stat

Ayden Murphy
this little stone one right? Got him at the end of the first questline already.

Yeah that one, I guess I had a brainfart or something.
