    I'll tag her with the Nova and gear copy and try her out. Provided the numbers transfer over equally she'll be 291ap/354dp, although if energy management is a thing, i may end up back on the potion grind, which is probably not a horrible idea since my valk is only mid 60 in level. Just grind her...

    Your luck is disgusting, share a little with me when it's time to JHammer my BS awakening wep this weekend. Im still kinda hobbling along in game, not doing a whole lot atm. If that weapon pops up to PEN I may get back into things more as it will put me into a much higher AP bracket and allow me...

    Slow. Downside to trying for the compass or map after the potion is there is no pity pieces for those, just gotta grind and grind and grind and....etc Im kinda losing interest in BDO again, I usually go hard for a few months then put it down for six months or more. Im just floating by atm...

    Bliz seems to be removing every trace of Tigole's design decisions from the game. A new Bliz blog post discusses how the design philosophy for OW2 has changed, they're essentially doing away with hard counters for heroes, which is their justification for locking heroes behind the battlepass.

    I read that earlier and it's a horrible move but let's be honest, spirit of the game left with Tigole. An article I saw said something like 80 tiers of a battle pass which feels like a lot. I dont play stuff like Apex or whatever other game has a battle pass these days so I dont really have a...

    I went straight to Fallen God first, then i started spreading caphras around to the other pieces. No idea if that's the suggested/preferred method though so take that with a grain of salt. Ronaros were so annoying, and they are such trolls too. You will get a bazillion of those worthless little...

    My opinion is get a TET blackstar as your primary wep (if youre awakening, get BS awakening, etc). Funnel caphras into your armor to raise DP and begin the groundwork toward Fallen God/Labreska. Your offhand should be the last thing you work on, if youve got PEN Kutum, you're fine. Even if your...

    The bloodwolves were really easy for me it felt like. I made the loop around the raised/cliff like area and as a nova it was a super fast grind. I farmed up 40ish pity pieces in just a few days (maybe 8-10 hours of grinding?) and got the full piece drop at 47 pity. I'd also HIGHLY recommend you...

    That's bizarre, mine arent doing that, they're just dropping into the vault/being used like normal. Grats on the helm though. I dumped 6billion into that failstack event to get my 231 stack ready for when I get the crons and/or balls to begin attempting PEN Blackstar. Since I have so many...

    The buff items from the login rewards are automatically applied when they come in as far as I can tell. You wont get a physical item to use, they are just applied to your existing buff time. I havent had to click to receive any rewards since maintenance, I havent seen what youre referring to.

    You wont be able to use it. After graduation you get a set of Reform crystals that change the season tuvala gear over to normal tuvala gear. You will only get one set of stones, so any other pieces of tuvala will still be flagged as season gear. As far as Im aware, you can only take one set of...

    This was posted on reddit as an easier to understand breakdown: You're looking at 7.2 billion silver to buy all of the available Essence of Devouring (get 4 for free, gotta buy the rest). My existing 147 stack may grow a bit, but I think that might be all I do. I got Disto's to save for.

    I dont have any of the permanent items yet, this potion will be the first. As for whether it's worth it, absolutely. When you begin grinding and fighting in areas that are challenging in any way, you will take damage and you will need potions to heal in order to keep going. Having the infinite...

    Two pot pieces down, one to go. I was 47 pity pieces into the Bloodwolf farm and the full piece to dropped for me Saturday. I moved over to Ronaros and quickly discovered I'd rather jab my eyes out with a fork than farm these guys. It's horrible :( Im 20 pity pieces into the grind but it's...

    Got my Vell heart squared away and finished up the Sherekhan pot piece. Im pretty much done with "easy upgrades" for now and everything else will be expensive, long-term sort of money saving goals. Im using a TET Tungrad Neck, the PEN would give me the biggest AP boost of any accessory upgrade...

    That's a nice chunk of money to build off of, Im in the same boat though, buying upgrades would be in the 60-120 billion range which seems so far off, but it may not be too horrible if I can get into Elvia regularly soon. Do the Cups from elvia add sheet AP/DP or is it hidden? Got rank 4 of the...

    Only 8 billion? What a steal! :P. I remember when 8 billion seemed like so much to me, now im like "only five billion to go then I can buy the Vell heart" I feel like the Sherekhan part went pretty quick, hopefully I can actually get a full piece from either Horsepeople or Bloodwolves and...

    Ill finish up the Sherekhan pot piece tonight if im lucky, tomorrow at the latest (9 pity pieces away) and have been tossing all the Caphras Ive gained into the helmet. Getting to C10 will be a while but I do need to get the PO for the flame in soon. I didnt realize the Vell heart gave 3 sheet...

    Got the Fallen God armor knocked out this morning and bumped it up once (failed to bump it up twice, may try again later). Up to 345 DP so that will give me some wiggle room with Elvia stuff, but I'll probably be grinding out the HP pot for a while yet before I give that a try again. What would...

    Yeah they did something in the latest patch to move it to a little icon thingy.

    When you're one of the first people on after the servers are up from maintenance (and yall can also enjoy my teamviewer graphics). I also finally got the silver to buy the PEN Urugons and have my pre-order placed. Painful watching your silver total drop down into the five digit range.

    I dont believe crystals can break from pvp, that would be the ultimate troll for the 750gs players to just roll around assblasting people fresh off season servers or something. I honestly think it's kinda dumb for crystals to break period, it makes me very nervous and hesitant to try...

    Heh thanks. That was kinda my thoughts on the whole thing as well. I know mystics are pretty high on the tier lists of pve/pvp while Nova's....arent.

    Caphras is probably the way to go since the DP boost will be bigger for you atm. Only "upgrade" in that price range is probably a TET Disto earring. Btw, Im really jealous of that PEN Blackstar awakening wep. Im not seeing any major AP boosts in my near future as everything is a crazy low...

    They are around 9bil at level 1, 12bil at level 30. It's kinda a double edge sword as to whether to level it up or not. It'd list for more money at 30, but it might be harder to sell if your stats are crap. Plus leveling Dream Horses is annoying as you have to stay on top of each level to make...

    As mentioned, modding a PS1 for Japanese games is by far the easiest way, but depending on how old your console is, you used to be able to do a disc swap trick to load non-US games (PS1's from the early initial console runs were able to do this but it was fixed after a year or so). I can't...

    That's probably the most solid plan. I'm also done with guaranteed PEN armors, I did the Dim Tree and Griffon Helm guaranteed, a third would run me like 9 billion just for the stone from Jetina, not to mention the mountain of Meme frags and Solids. As I get cron stones I attempt a PEN enhance...

    Yeah, my first thought was to up my DP after my Orc tussle. I have 281 Awakened AP on my sheet with god knows how much hidden AP, which on paper is ok for the Orcs, albeit on the lower end. My dp is a bit lower than recommended at 334 but I still lack PEN boots. Saunils might be more in my gear...

    They do give out a LOT of Dream Horse materials these days from events, boxes, loyalty thankfully so the endeavor isnt as horrible as it used to be.

    Well, ok. On a whim I bought 4 purified lightstones off the AH. Got a Blight, Strike, and two other random crappy stones. About 7 billion payoff from a 60mil gamble, provided I dont use the Strike. I should probably just use it, even though that 5bil would be nice. Guess my luck is used up for a...

    Both. PEN everything before you graduate off the season server. Actually I dont think early graduation is available yet, so you've got plenty of time to keep grinding stuff, you will have plenty of ore available to fight with those last two PENs before early graduation goes in.

    I ended up going with the same lightstone combo as Chimney (Trained Fists), looks like a good spot to stick with until the rng plays in my favor with a Strike stone (aka never). I forgot they added the private grinding areas, I usually only grind for an hour at a time so this might be a pretty...

    Highest failstack I've got banked right now is 147. I despise the enhance system so much in this game, I never do a PEN roulette and building stacks is always a bridge too far for me most of the time. I've only successfully enhanced one item to PEN (my gloves), rest have been bought or the...

    I also lack a lot of reading comprehension as my backup lightstone plan also included a Strike stone. Ill probably do the same, just look up some sort of passable monster AP combo and run with it for now. Any sort of damage increase will be better than none, even if it's not the best it could be...

    I came across something that suggested that same setup, just wasnt sure if there was better that had been discovered since. I saw another combo (Predation x2, Shadows, Strike) that gives 13 Monster AP, Back Damage +6%, and 3% crit damage that might be what I go with until I come across a Strike...

    Sad thing is season enhancing is soooo much easier than enhancing on regular servers. Finishing a season character puts you into a good position to just grind money and buy upgrades and skip the entire god awful process though. For those that have been playing more than I have lately, are the...
