Black Desert Online |OT| Come on in, the sand's fine [Mediah Update]

1) Beginner boxes, open them and use them. Forget exactly what is in them since I think those are for the new players. I am pretty sure once you open all of them you'll have a full set of Jarette's accessories which is a really good starting set. If they are a GM lucky box you can just open those too. Don't expect much from them though, it is an RNG box that only leads to disappointment.

2) Horse emblem you have to redeem at a stable. Might as well do it as soon as you can.

3) Horse armor is whatever. 7 Days isn't going to do much for you and to be honest the cosmetic horse armor doesn't do much anyway. It buffs your horse a little bit, but nothing close to important.

4) 7 Day armor set will give you 10% EXP bonus and a couple of other small buffs that really aren't worth mentioning. Well the weapon durability buff is kind of nice, but for your level it doesn't matter. By the time you get to the point where it'll matter you'll have enough in game money to buy a costume off the Marketplace.

5) Lantern. Everyone is probably different but I almost never use mine. There are a few places in the game that can get really dark (inside + nighttime), but for the most part I just play without one.

6) Even if you don't plan on playing everyday, try to log in everyday. The login bonuses going on now are pretty great. Specially the ones at the end of the list.
Thank you very much for all the info! I'll keep what you said in mind :D
 
I still log in for the daily stuff. I'm just too busy to really devote much time to an MMO right now.

At the very least, I got to 56 with my sorceress in the past couple weeks. The scythe is so badass!

Short notice I was pretty busy today. Anyways we got Guild Boss scroll to do. Come join on the fun.

When? Saturday 10/15/2016

Where? For now at Omar Cave

What time? Shooting for 5 pm PST. We can adjust the time to ensure as many Guildies can come as possible.
 
Does anyone know why I might keep getting the message "you don't have enough lodging for workers"? I currently have 2 houses at level 2, so I should be able to have 4 workers right? But when I right-click on the "contract" for the third one I get the error.

You have houses for yourself or are they for the workers?

I have two level two lodging houses. So I should have space for 4 workers, as far as I understand it at least.

Click on the town you are trying to add the worker to and click on the worker list in the bottom right. It should bring up the worker list for that town and have a number at the top like 4/4, 3/4, 1/2, ect. Does it say that town is full, and is the worker token thing for the city you are trying to add it to, or is it a token for another town? Also, lodgings are city dependent. Meaning that with 2 level 2 lodgings you can have 5 workers, but only for that town. It isn't 5 workers total, just 5 for that specific town/city.

Oh, I see, then that's most likely the issue. Thanks for the explanation!

Haven't been able to login these past two days. Hope Vyr hasn't missed me too much. Drinking until 3am with a client from Chinaland, drinking with boss yesterday until 4 am.
Today I'm getting dragged to some group date(with older ladies T___T) and supposed to go drinking later with them but I'm going to have to skip drinking so I can login and level up my warrior to 57!
Can't believe how much I miss playing it eventhough I only haven't logged in for 2 days.

Is there any way to change the key-bind on Alt? I'm used to having Alt switch between Cursor and non-Cursor, but it seems like we can't rebind it. From what I have read you can't even use an exteranl utility like AutoHotkey to fix it. Is there any workaround?
 
This?

Yup. The key "Alt" doesn't work, it's not being registered. I can't bind anything to it. So I was wondering if there was any workaround.

Ah I didn't realize it wouldn't let you use Alt until I just tried it. That's really weird and I don't know why they block that off. If external programs don't work I think you might be out of luck.

Yeah, it's really silly. Thanks for trying to help though! Guess I'l just get used to it :D

Last week we did 3 simultaneous summons. Will plan to do the same this go around.
 
Decided to come back to this after a 6 month break (and a new PC)... what's new?

awakenings for Tamer,valk,sorc,warrior,ranger, valencia region and mystery accessories to purchase from blacksmith vendors to get a potential rare item.

You are walking into a lot.

Someone should take over the OP to update it.

Had forgotten how perfectly this game plays with a decent Steam Controller config. Action sets FTW!

Have set mine up with 3 action sets:

- Gameplay (for directly controlling your character)
- UI Mode (for controlling the mouse during inventory management etc)
- Photo Mode (this game really deserves it)

Steam automatically toggles to UI Mode when it detects the cursor is visible (for inventory management etc), then back to Gameplay when hidden, works flawlessly.

Have also setup a manual toggle to switch to Photo Mode, which has bindings for hiding the HUD, altering the effects like DOF and camera placement etc, and a button to actually take a screenshot when ready.

On top of all this, I have an on screen radial menu setup to quickly access all commonly used windows like Inventory, Quest log, Skills etc.

Icing on the cake is a button to bring up the Steam on screen keyboard, and open the chat window.

It's almost like a native experience once fully configured.
 

Ok people. Never do what I did.

I jumped onto a boat at Ancado hoping for an easy trip home. I whistle the horse to teleport onto the boat but didn't see it teleport. When I jumped off the boat, then I see the horse appear on the boat.

Long story short. My horse is on a boat to who knows where without me.

Your boat is with the horse in the map.
 
Lol. Never used one of those ships and I guess this is a good reason not to use them in the future.

Those ships might probably be very unique fishing grounds. Safer than the usual ferries, more variety due to the distance they travel.

Actually it might be a lazy method to get from Epheria to Ancado
 
I think EU GAF died awhile back. Won't matter too much with the server merge coming. NA GAF will probably take over all GAF operations.

BDO Official Forum said:
2. How many channels will the New World have?

Each region will have a World with 36 Channels. This means that the North American and European regions will remain as separate servers.

Looks like EU and NA will still be separate though.
