If you can just buy them and go on about your life do it. There might be a gap in the tools market, I have noticed supply issues on off hours. I know demand exceeds supply by at least a little bit. However I don't know if sell prices are worth the effort. Never done the math myself.
Camden Bennett
You should, in order to get lucky steel tools which aren't easy to find on the market.
guys, is it possible to buy the processing costume on the market place? I tried to find it through the search window but somehow it doesn't show up. Can it only be bought with pearls?
James Russell
Got my first piece of boss gear out of the night vendor today: Tree Spirit Armor. Should I try enchanting it first? I was hoping to do Bhegs first because of the increased accuracy from the enhancement effect, tree doesnt seem to give any added buffs based on enhancing.
No problem with just sitting on it and focusing on my weapons and stuff instead right?
William Parker
Pearls only 'course not. It's your call

WELL THAT'S JUST FUCKING GREAT NICE P2W GARBAGE GAME
are there any discounts?

If you're gonna spend hundreds/thousands of hours on this game, sack up and put down 30 bucks...is that really so difficult for some people? Honestly how do you justify complaining about shit like this when its not even that expensive. Or get an item in game and get someone to gift you pearls...why do people just immediately give up and throw a tantrum instead of looking for another out?

10 dollars or theres dozens of people willing to gift you the game for the polar bear pet. Not pay to win but pay to have a little convenience with your lifeskills, and you can buy that item ingame as well getting 21 days worth of the service for free when you join.
Want to keep trying?
Alexander Wood
>Not a single hard/sharp in the past 3 days despite doing at least 4 guild gatherings per day That fucking dry spell.
That's the poorfag mentality, you won't change that. These underage/barely adult people are ok spending 8 hours in front of the marketplace to try to snipe a costume or a value pack. Too dumb to realize that in that time they could have made real money.
Gabriel White
god i hate poor people
Carson Morales

Cut them some slack. They could be living in eastern europe.
Sebastian Turner

Gavin Parker
Low IQ poor people you mean
Blake Harris
no, that's not the point. If I can buy real value ingame with currency then the ingame currency gets diluted and inflation happens. That's like being able to buy power in a game of chess. You play chess for the game, you don't play it with the intention of beating your opponent by using your financial prowess because chess isn't supposed to be a test of wealth.
Cooper Phillips
I'll grind this game for a polar bear
Easton Gutierrez
None of the shit in this game that is cash shop only will change that. It is weight and inventory, and some maids. Theyre for marketplace shit and lifeskilling. Play the chess game all you want, no one paying real money on this game will have an advantage on you in a 1v1 situation because they bought shit. This isn't Archage.
Andrew Reyes
Waiting patiently for these to turn into cash shop items
Hunter Perez
>no one paying real money on this game will have an advantage on you in a 1v1 situation because they bought shit
all these things you listed give you an effective advantage. Processing costume for example with weight limit increase from the cash shop allow you to afk process extremely large chunks of your storage so you can basically just let your PC running in the background even if you are at work or sleeping. That's not an option for anyone that doesn't use the outfit because they have to manually store their materials much sooner.
So what does this mean? It means that the person that spent money can generate more ingame money with minimal effort. More ingame money means more effective enchanting cycles or straight up equipment purchases. And that person will outperform you in PvP and PvE even if they aren't mechanically gifted because it really doesn't matter how bad you are if all your shit one-shots enemies.
Leo Reed
>no one paying real money on this game will have an advantage on you in a 1v1 situation because they bought shit. Weight is absolutely essential to PvP, dunno what game you're playing bud.
Ryder Lewis
Not the guy you're quoting but what the hell did you expect from a korean game? If you want fair PVP and a streamlined progression KR games aren't good.
Xavier Johnson
>backpedaling ahh the logic of people who wipe their ass with 1 dollar bills
Carter Hall
games aren't exempt from criticism just because that behavior is typical within the videogame industry in a specific country.
Jackson Ramirez
Holy shit dude you're too far gone, that is a massive jump. You're going to basically say the entire system is unfair because you have the option to drop some cash and make your processing easier? So that guy makes 20m more a day than you and gets his items a little quicker, so you just shouldn't even try? I get the weight thing that is saying but if you think about it like that maybe you should just head back to World of Warcraft or Call of Duty or some shit, your reasoning is astronomically defeatist.
No matter how much or how little you pump into this game, people will be ahead of you because they have been playing for a year and a half since the game came out. Plain and simple. Use that as a fucking excuse if you want to make one so bad.
Jonathan Carter
>statistically guaranteed to get one of these during the event >it'll get added as a pearl shop item along with Valk's Cry "dropping" from pearl boxes after the event is over Thanks Black Casino!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!
Jaxon Harris
no you fucking retard, of course you don't compare yourself to people that played MORE than you. You compare yourself to people that play a similar amount.
I don't complain if some no-life autist wrecks the shit out of me in CS:GO. He earned it because he dedicated thousands of hours getting good at the game. But the moment people that play less than you can come out on top by just buying the right outfit or other little "conveniences" it turns into pure p2w.
Camden Wood
if they don't want to get completely trashed on steam then they need to reduce cash shop dependency.
They will literally make more money by removing the current cash shop entirely and replacing it with a purely cosmetic skin trading system. CS GO and TF2 make boatloads of money purely from cosmetics without offering people p2w options.
Lincoln Carter
I don't wipe my ass with dollar bills and I'm not backpedalling. I'm just saying that Korean games are most of the times like this. We knew before the NA/EA release that the game was going to be like that because we already had examples from the KR, JP, RU servers. You can criticize the game all you want but you knew what you were getting into and the problems that come from the cash shop, unbalanced classes, RNG progression, desynchs, just to name a few. If you came to BDO (or any KR game desu) expecting good PvP and to be able to keep up with the whales... well you didn't do your research.
Caleb Allen
what's the best material to produce through processing? It seems that steel has a fairly low time investment/profit ratio because you don't need to process the coal into anything. But Brass seems to have a higher volume/profit ratio. It also seems to sell faster in my experience.

This is what investors and publishers don't get about games and virtual dependency.
Supply = Demand is not a good law to base your game around, that will only upset gamers.
Steam is a glaring testament it the success of excellent foresight and wisdom, but also proves how retarded publishers/investors are.
Connor Reyes

Jack Anderson
yeah, outfits cost up to 30 bucks. Costumes with buffs too important to miss for lifeskillers cost around 20 bucks. Pets which are unavoidable if you actually want to make your money through looting and combat grinding cost around 10 bucks on average.
That's fucking insane. And then there is QoL shit like weight limit increases which is also fairly important for people who craft, gather and process and overall useful for people who get tons of loot through combat. So that's another 15-30 bucks on top of that.
Their prices are highway robbery.
John Wilson
oh and I forgot, the retarded pearl shop system prevents you from just directly buying the shit you want. You usually need to spend more money than the item is actually worth because they don't allow you to buy a specific number of pearls. So you spend additional money just for the privilege of being able to buy the item you wanted.
Blake Hernandez
you know what DOESN'T cost money in this game?
getting succ by lewd slutty tamers
Aaron Scott
Ive spent close to 400 dollars on Hearthstone since its release. If you want to talk about p2w, those cards are legit necessary to have a fighting chance at ranked play in that game. I've also spent close to that amount on RNG Lootboxes in Tera, and that shit isnt even necessary, I just like gambling. I hate that weight and inventory space is character bound considering I want to swap mains every few months, but nothing I can do to change it man.
These games do not make enough money on initial purchase. Thats just not how they work anymore, especially korean mmos that are ported over here. You like the game? You decide to invest a little into it; or dont, no one is holding a gun to your head. Get over it.
