    Is farming better than gathering to obtain Fruits of Enchantment? I havent ever really invested much in farming but I have a nearly master gatherer. Ive managed to get around 60 fruits of enchantment from picking wild herbs, is farming a better use of time to get them?

    Interesting. 14 Garmoth spawns during the week now, but you can only obtain loot from 3 of them, plus three weekly quests for kills/loot. Should make Hearts more plentiful....hopefully.

    Oh that'll be handy. I wasnt paying nearly enough attention when I started gathering up stuff and soon realized i needed 100 fruits, fern roots, flowers of oblivion, etc, not just 10. Ill have the stuff for my first attempt after the Fern root weekly reset this week, then Ill sit tight and see...

    Farming the materials up for T10 attempts is horrible. Dunno how many attempts Ill bother making before bailing on this nonsense and just stay happy with my T9

    What Kirun said. ANova is super fun to play but she can be APM heavy and it gets worse having to juggle the turbo mode thing she does where she moves and attacks even faster for a period of time. Her attacks kinda flow after you build up the muscle memory though, so even though it's a lot of...

    I may run one of my herd of alts through the BS questline and see if i can just enhance a BS mainhand up to TET this weekend. That free 150 stack got pushed to 200 or so from the hearts of darkness things they passed out, it should be fairly doable. I wasnt sure if the bonuses from the Kzarka...

    So Ive been playing an Awakened Nova for a good while now as my main, but Im kinda feeling like I want to play the succession Lahn more as my main this time around. Currently my Blackstar is an Awakening wep and Ive got a PEN Kzarka main hand. Would it be better to swap to a BS main hand for the...

    I played at launch as well, leveled as a Valkyrie initially. I remember grinding catfish for hours and it being a big deal to hit 48 or so to have access some skill I forgot now that used to be class changing. The grind to the "soft cap" of 56 was the goal. Riding from Calpheon to Heidel to...

    I have the oddest luck in the weirdest places. Failed another PEN Blackstar attempt today with our bonus JHammer, but pulled a Vell Heart from that random LoML box we got from dailies the other day. Pretty sure the chance of getting that heart was way lower than the 5.34% success rate my BS has...

    Finished the LoML stuff this morning, that was way too painful but so glad I have it done. At no point during the entire process did I give a crap about what was happening. I hope they never do this non-skippable stuff again. I celebrated with another attempt at the PEN blackstar, which of...

    Dooms are fine, especially if you play with friends/guild, the two seat option is nice. The pegasus is the best imo because of all the shortcutting it opens up. Being able to toss yourself off a mountain and glide down safely is really nice. It is the fastest and can be a problem in towns like...

    I got through about half of the LoML junk yesterday. The first two stories i picked felt way too drawn out but the second two went by pretty quick. Hopefully I can finish it off in one more session this weekend, get the crystal slots, then go back to standing around in town not grinding anywhere.

    I did some digging and figured out the costume slot and it's kinda annoying. You need an equipment tailoring coupon and one of the craftable costumes (ex Ahon Kirus, Jester, Calpheon Noble, etc). The costumes will give one of three different crystals when melted down so you gotta look up which...

    Yep, looks like Ill have to suck it up and knock it out too. I used the skill swap coupon last night to get my Lahn back to working order, so I at least have a different class to play and relearn while doing it. I guess it's a good way to pass the time while I wait for crystal preorders to...

    Oh god, dont tell me that. I forced my way through it to the point where I got to pick between 8 different monster stories to progress through and got the first one done.

    180 is doable but you'd need some luck (it's around 3.8% success chance). If you try it, I hope your luck is better than mine, I'm clocking in at nearly 40 fails at this point with a 260 stack.

    They probably will as I believe they always have in the past. The weapon exchange coupons never have had timers on them, but the skill/str/breath etc swaps have been timed in the past. The skill, exp, stat exchange coupons wont be given out until the last couple days so wont know for sure til...

    I play as the awakened flavor exclusively, i hated when i first leveled her as the slow, plodding mace user, but it didnt last long.

    Apparently it was for her too. A lot of what Lambourne said resonated though, our priorities are clearly in different areas. Those late night/early morning runaway trains of thought can be a doozy though when it's all still fresh. I, maybe naively, see sex as part of a larger whole that while...

    Seemed into it at the time, nothing to give off the lack of chemistry impression, and as to the rest, very likely. I tried to match her enthusiasm overall but maybe, yeah. She is 37, and kinda the opposite. Her history is a bit more adventurous than mine so maybe the bar was just higher? Size...

    On a non-pve shitstorm related note, I saw an article that said if you've played OW2 from Day 1 and made sure to complete all challenges and passes as a F2P player, you will just now, 7 months in, finally have earned enough premium currency to buy one legendary skin from the shop.

    What he said ^ If you didnt authorize the transfer during that 6 month time frame, your data was lost and you gotta start from zero. There is no transferring it after the fact or recovering it, it's completely gone. Depending on what you had/lost it really isnt such a big deal as it's easy to...

    Black Desert

    Yeah, it can be annoying though. If youre looking to buy them to melt into crons, pre-order costumes that come in the premium pack, classic pack, etc because those get handed out as rewards often. If you're looking for a costume to wear, your mileage will vary depending on class and what's...

    If you didnt authorize Kakao to transfer your data to PA, it all went poof :( On the plus side, if you havent played for that long, catching up to wherever you were gear wise wont take long. Hopefully you didnt lose a lot of cash shop stuff though.

    Regarding the time piece, it kinda is. When you click the time piece, you will have to choose one of your other characters (under level 25 i think is the limit). Your current season character will become a standard character and the lowbie you picked will become a season character with the same...

    Most folks doing training are doing so to turn the horse in via Imperial Delivery to get the flower things for T10 attempts. I dont believe many people do training for money as there are far more lucrative ways to spend your time while afk. That's a weird sentence but you get what I mean :P...

    I feel like most of my attacks with the Nova require shift, so Ive almost always got it held down. Pretty much every character Ive put significant time in was that way.

    Interesting. Im surprised that straight up duped them though, but I guess if the presets could be applied to every character people would overall need less crystals, but being able to sell the dupes is an interesting development.

    Sooo....I think all my crystals got duped? If im understanding how everything worked after the patch, the game removed all my crystals from my character's gear and dumped them into my storage. My Heidal storage was full, so they were considered overflow and appeared only once I cleared space. I...
