    I like the feel of the awakened attacks and combos more than succession, but it's more work and Im lazy. Ive also learned I need to be more indepth with the attacks and abilities and what they can do/offer buff and protection wise cause the Black Shrine stuff is pounding me pretty good.

    Ive switched off Succ Lahn back to Awakened for the past few days. Like you mentioned a few pages back, the way Twisting Nether travels through enemies is annoying, but I may just learn to deal with it, it feels like more work to kill things with Awakened.

    Bummer. Im kinda digging this farming thing, gives me something to do while Im at work and cant really grind or do anything too focused and was wanting to share some of the spoils. Getting plenty of life skilling done at least.

    My boxes were so bad. Crons everywhere. Getting close to another PEN blackstar attempt though, more disappointment right around the corner! I do have a random question: If one person has a preorder up for say 10,000 silver and a dozen people have preorders up for 12,000 silver. If I choose to...

    Got a chunk of CP invested in farms atm trying to power to Master 1. I had my first mysterious seed + special seed grow session and now Im swimming in fruits of enchantment (pulled in around 40 per plant and had 5 plants). At the rate these are coming in I should be able to sell a bunch soon...

    So I got my farming up past Artisan 1, is there any reason to continue to manually prune and take care of the farm now besides just raising farming further? Ive begun planting Special Sunrise Herb seeds hoping to get a magical one but no luck yet. Ive banked a few Mysterious seeds though, so...

    They made it to where you couldnt transport packs to any zone, they added trade outlets in a few specific locations (Solzreed, Two Crowns, and Cinderstone if you played west, or Solis, Vilanelle, or Yny if you were east). Same continent runs rewarded only gold, but the more of a specific type of...

    Yeah it's going up pretty steadily so far. No workers on it, just checking in every hour or so to prune and clean up pests. Gone from Apprentice 6 to Skilled 6. Looks like I need Artisan 1 for the magical seeds according to grumpy, so Ill be chipping away at it as I can over the next couple days.

    My farming skill is very, very low (like Apprentice 6 or something), it's one of the lifeskills Ive never really bothered with (along with hunting and bartering). I can play BDO at work when its slow, so I may start farming some along with the active herb picking. I have everything I need for my...

    Ive been getting a few of those, and while they do help, you randomly get any fruit so since Im mainly chasing just one it's been hit or miss. I did check and replace any non-human workers with humans so maybe more bags will help. Between all the other farming/questing required for a single T10...

    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...

    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.

    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.

Pretty sure the chance of getting that heart was way lower than the 5.34% success rate my BS has...

    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...

    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.

    Apparently it was for her too. A lot of what Lambourne said resonated though, our priorities are clearly in different areas.

    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...
