Yeah, new academy is basically worthless(if you've graduated before)unless you really need life skill EXP in the various categories.

It's really just there to sell passes to FOMO people.

Looking forward to trying the new barter routes this weekend. I’m hopping it gives bartering a little life. The sea stuff in this game is great but needs some serious love from the days guilds were doing payouts of a Billion silver when that was a lot. Need to get a few more crow coins to finish off my blue guns and keep working on the Nol. They say you usually get it in about 100 maps, I have 20 :(

They've been shopping around EVE for a while. It's good they were finally able to dump it.

More login crons (15.1k total). Heidel ball is July 25th, maybe they'll give some good rewards leading up to it. Hit OCT mainhand the other day for the fancy glow but I've basically just been logging in for rewards the last few months.

Yeah, just hit Nov MH and full DEC Kharazhad the other day. Pretty much just doing an hour every other day or so to burn Agris and fishing in the meantime. I'm hoping we get some new content previews at the Ball.

What’s a good progression of your item enchanting in everyone’s opinion? Is there a progression when you want to do accessories vs weps vs armor?

Man this game is just as addicting as I remember it. Got into it again. So much has change, what used to be bis isnt even close. They give you so much shit for free(think I got all pen boss armor, a tet accessory, t10 horse etc. The climb from mid game to that end game is huge in terms of silver though. We'll see how far I get before I get dragged to some other game.

for a basic plan go to BDO Workshop and then the AP upgrade path
Thanks for this! Was feeling lost as to when to start Sovereigns and what to do first between the three. This gives a better understanding of what needs to be done when.

Lots of Crons this update. Make sure you get your daily rewards

There's 10k crons on 3-4 coupon codes atm, and patrigio shop is up too. Log on to grab them and burn your energy.

They are giving a ton of crons away lately (through crons and free outfits) It makes me wonder if they are realizing the corner they have put themselves in.

The game is in a pretty rough state. Virtually zero content updates in a year, they've said they're done with PvE balance changes for now, despite many classes needing buffs, etc. I'm really only logging in for weeklies and fishing. I've had 100k Agris for 2 weeks now.

Heidal ball needs to be big, but I have a feeling it'll be a letdown.

I’m worrying the same thing. The game has massive content to do things, but it’s always the law of diminishing value. I could do xxx (barter, alchemy, fish) but I’d be losing millions of silver per hour that I would get from grinding

Each end game click is averaging what 80k crons? And you need end game gear to really do anything. So the only thing you can really do is grind for end game attempts

What they need is a totally radical shift in their thinking. I’ve said it for years, they need to give people stuff to do that does the grind, but doesn’t feel like the grind. This game is perfect to recreate “modules” like D&D. You could easily do decent to the depths of the Earth, against the Giants, queen of the demon web pits and larger dungeon where you are doing something. Killing giants for Caloheon which rewards you with materials to make hammers etc….there is a whole host of stuff they could do, but each idea cuts down potential Cron sales. So I don’t think they will do anything honestly

Lots of free Debos this update for menial tasks like afk fishing

Terminan beach has started

Also who has a good strategy for Jordine? I can breeze up to the dragon fight, and then always get one shoted by Jordine after gettting the dragon past halfway. Which means you have to start the whole process over. I can’t figure out how to consistently burn down the dragon and not have Jordine spawn and kill me

what is your guys strategy?

Does anyone care about this class? I don't think people are gonna appreciate another class with the current state of the game.
