Was playing and now the servers are just lagging really bad, can't even DC nor switch servers.

Rebooting game didn't help RIP

As the title says, I can't transfer items into storage, takes like 20 seconds for a message to be sent and just rubberbanding all over the place. Everyone in my guild is also having the same issues.

Hey guys, MenaceIX here.

Want to know exactly to the penny how much you make in this game? We're going to tell you. With minimal effort on your part. The suggestions coming from the community and feedback has been awesome, so I'm happy to announce the latest and biggest update yet, v2.0.

Why not celebrate BDO's anniversary and major update with a major update of our own!.

BDO Master Profitability Tool v2.0 is here

Just download it, copy your old worker data over to it, and enjoy all the new features. The "Input" page is pretty self explanatory... If you'd like to discuss live, feel free to ask me over on Twitch or Discord, especially if you need help getting situated, using the tool, or planning your BDO big ballin' moneymaking future. Stream here

v.2.0 Notes

• "Input Page" tab now has more questions about your activity

  • Things like your sleep schedule, work schedule, and other things now and soon to be considered. Also there are now dropdowns* to make it even easier to input the data!

• Manual Gathering is now added and being tracked

  • This is to account for the active use of energy into profitability.
  • There is a dropdown which asks how often you gather, if you gather with your alts, how many alts you have, and if you do Red Battlefield for the Energy Replenish (+200).
  • This is all accounted for in the logic and your gathering is shown on the balance sheet. See below "Required" Active Income for more info

• "Required" Active income activities are added.

  • Since it's proven that making beer is more overall profitability than buying it, and the process of spending energy to gather materials for utensils is extremely profitable use of your active time, there are "Required Active Income" activities you must do to optimize profitability as a whole. Use the data provided from my grind, or clear it and log your own. Choice is yours! Since you need to gather with your energy, and you need useable scantling and rough stone, these are double dipping on your profits
  • Will consider other gathering nodes at a later date, but for now these are considered optimal for this calculations purposes.

• New Tabs Added

  • "Pilgrim's Haven" gathering for rough stone is a "required active" activity.
  • "Logs Gathering" anywhere, I use Heidel since I don't have to ride anywhere (Not Functional Yet)

• Beer Cooking now added!

  • Since there is a claim that cooking beer with extra sugar procs more side dishes I'm setting out to prove/disprove this, then add automated beer costs into your profitability. Stay tuned. Also in the future updates, this will track and value your active time you spend cooking for other efficiency metrics. For now, just track your cooking (or just use my data!)

• New Layout

  • Modified the layout and colors to make it more appealing and easy to read. Tabs are now identified by colors
  • Green - Input / Summary Pages
  • Yellow - Passive/Afk Income Pages
  • Blue - In game logs for active time
  • Red - Informational, studies, results, and graphs
  • Black - These will eventually be hidden, they are reference and lookup tables, do not under any circumstances modify any cells there unless you know what you are doing.

• "Trading" tab now calculates crate values upon turn-in automatically and scales them based off your answers on "Input Page" dropdown such as:

  • Your trading level
  • If you have the desert bonus
  • Distance to Valencia
  • Note: If the tab shows you make crates, just give it the location of your hub. There currently aren't any modifiers for someone making the same crate type in two places (later version), so if this is your situation, then pick the most conservative city, this only calculates the distance bonus on the trade run.

• Bugs Fixed

  • "Trading" tab, column "N" (Remaining Materials) removed the original placeholder for black stone powder and linked to cell on the first page
  • "Trading" tab, column "G" incorrect function used, I was truncating for leftover materials instead of using "Floor" to round down. This led to an occasional rounding error of a leftover mat

R.I.P

1) Select Character brings you straight to the character select screen instead of the menu with all your family portraits. I know the Disconnect button at the top does this, but I don't like swiping my cursor upwards.

2) Plain text notifications for the marketplace. I just want to do a quick glance and see an item icon, not read a bunch of text.

With the 10% coupon I'm thinking about pushing the trigger, just have a few questions first.

I can take the tent in and out of my inv and place it anywhere?

Can I grind endlessly with and repair near my grind zone with the tent? (I have a ton of maids)

Can I use the villa buffs without paying the fee?

How to the buffs on the Campsite shop work?

What are other benefifts that I'm not might be seeing?

Thanks for reading guys.

Hello,

I'm returning to BDO after about a year but i dont know wich class I should play, the last time I played Tamer till Awakening and I have a Witch, Ranger and Warrior at 50. But I am looking for a class that's good in Endgame PvP. I thought about Witch or Wizard but I am not quite sure wich on is better. Or maybe Ranger ?

What do you guys think about them or is there a better choice ?

Hey , so today i tried the Min - Max graphics damage output to see if it really works or if its only a legend ( been playing on ultra all this time ) In ultra settings it seems like i'm going through my target , i don't know why , like if i just ignore it most of the time like if i miss , it doesnt even CC/KD

Then i switched to low settings ( optimization the lowest possible ) & i got these results

First one without KD on both tests : https://youtu.be/Xl_5EjR8y4A

Second both with KD tests(more accurate ) : https://youtu.be/Iv-TMAYvTL0

I will try to ask my friend to record as well since 95% of people think that my friend removed gear

Third & last test with split screen : https://youtu.be/1dnUFrMTCWg

let me know if you want me to test another thing. EDIT : he is back gonna do 3rd test with split screen

So fun.

So I just tried logging into BDO and got Error code 5 stating there's an issue with the status of my account. Has anyone gotten this before and might know what's caused it? I've never done anything even remotely ban-worthy so I'm not sure what this could stem from

3 weeks after starting the game I decided that I wanted my first piece of boss gear, so I set my eyes on a Tri Kzarka. 4 days of savage rifts, 9-12 rifts a day depending on how I was feeling, ended up with 600mil.

Now it's time for my next great conquest. I'm going to grind 1.460 billion Silver for a Tri bhegs Glove, Tri Kutum, and Tri Dandelion. I'm at 250mil as we speak.

Wish me luck brothers and sisters, and lets hope we meet on the other side. I will bask in the glory of my shiny items even it kills me.
