Suggestion: Add Elvia skills into normal skill rotation

Suggestion: Add Elvia skills into normal skill rotation

It's 2026: You have a free skill for most classes(edited) that isn't used.

We're actively adjusting for PvP and DR meta? The data is already there. Just remove the "Elvia" rule and give everyone a new skill to their kit.

I was wrong about grinding

I made a post recently about how I found grinding extremely boring and was considering dropping the game as I was struggling from getting to 60-61. It turns out that the grind spot was no where near as good for xp as traitors graveyard, and the mobs were way too easy. This has solved the issue of not finding any challenge in the game for me now, the answer is to just find a tougher grind spot. I’ve died a few times and have had to actively try to stay alive which is a good thing. Usually if a game is too easy I just don’t enjoy it.

Along with that, I now have some sense of direction. Primarily being a PvP player, I’ve realised that getting to a somewhat competitive level is going to take many hours of practice and the combat system is much more complicated than I anticipated, especially as a Awk ninja. Again, another positive for me.

So for anyone who’s recently joined the game and felt in a similar spot for me, my advice is just find what works for you. My next aim is to join a guild and start doing T1 node wars. :)

I'm starting to get sick of LOML weekly bosses

In the specific, players leaving before completing the 5 bosses.

I'm doing this bosses for a very long time now, it used to happen but not at the rate we are getting now. I don't know if I was lucky before, or I'm getting unlucky now, but EVERY WEEK for the last month and an half I had someone leave, and then we had to abuse another poor soul just to finish these damn bosses.

I really think something should be done about this issue, I currently have no solutions in mind, but this is getting under my skin every passing week.

EDIT1: A possible solution could be the party knowing the completition status of other members in the Black Shrine menus, so you can check someone joining with less than 5 bosses to kill.

Another possible solution could be a "minimum boss to defeat" in the party finder when choosing Black Shrine.

After 9 months is this good progress

Hey this is my progress after 9 months of the last post i made ( i didnt play the whole 9 months ) i also work a 9 to 5 and my job is an hour away from my home.

Im back after i took like a 2-3 month break from the game, i need some grind spot suggestions and what i should upgrade next.

Note : it took me like 25 taps from Pen to Oct Awk Sov i just wanted Oct for the glow.

Edit : this progress is after 9 months of my last post and for pay to win I probably spent like 100$ total in that time

I've been disconnecting at the worst times recently

It never happened before, but in the past few weeks I've been disconnecting every few minutes. Its really annoying when doing guild bosses as I don't get any loot. This is the second week in a row I've disconnected when khan is 1 hit away. Been on 2/3 pity khan heart pieces for ages.

Does anyone have an idea what might be causing me to disconnect so much?

How to get maids?

So I JUST started the game like 3 days ago, and I still haven't descided if this is a game I wanna stick with in the long run, but I find the the combat is pretty fun.

I just unlocked my first maid and butler, and also completed the magnus quest to access my stuff from anywhere.. But i can barely transport anything. I don't want to purchase anything with irl currency, since like I said, I don't know if I'll stick with this game. But I've heard some people have like 70+ maids from events/login rewards. How common is that?

Is it normal to only get around 3% xp after grinding for 20min(60-61)

Basically title. I’m very new, I just finished my season pass and graduated, I’ve basically done nothing else

I was grinding at Polly’s Forest with 552 total AP because I heard it was a good spot for XP, I think I had around 600% combat XP boost?

I was having a blast grinding but the XP gains seemed quite low so I was just wondering if this is a normal amount before I continue grinding

Musa or Seraph?

New to the game ive been testing out different classes and thought i would enjoy archer but after playing for a bit it wasnt for me. Now im on my last seasonal ticket and i want to research better before comitting, im looking to mostly do t1 node war and aos all while grinding good grind spots for progressing. I tested both out in trial and honestly i enjoy both equally.. feels like musa has more kit but gameplay is a little slower pace compared to seraph, while seraph seems pretty simple i just love how fast pace it feels. Im also worried that apparently seraph is very strong right now and is getting nerf soon so im looking for yall suggestions.

Looking to fix my crystals

Hi, I’ve been using the same crystal setup for a long time and recently heard that a few new ones were added.

What should I change in my setup?

Right now I’m grinding in Edania and I have ~1830 AP against edania with my current setup. I’m playing Awakening Witch.

Any suggestions on what to swap or improve?

Help me understand Awakening Dosa

Hey guys, I’ve been trying out Awakening Dosa on a trial character for about an hour now, and I just don’t get the mechanics. Normally I pick up stuff like this pretty quickly, but this is honestly giving me a headache and it’s starting to frustrate me.

When I watch combo guides, I get even more confused because I can’t understand why the skills are used in that specific order. I do get that, for example, you use Fire skills after Earth skills to proc the passive, but then people throw in random skills in between, and the order just doesn’t make any sense to me. Sometimes they use a Fire skill and then come back to another Fire skill like 3 abilities later, and I just don’t understand why. I cant make sense of anything.

I’d really appreciate some help :(

What am I doing wrong or what can i improve on?

https://preview.redd.it/9nwxdt3krfxg1.png?width=761&format=png&auto=webp&s=8f69f73fe0cd1d34e5c6425be62b358bc5d395c1

I am using a Belenos +10 rod and you can see what I have equipped above. I am trying to see what I should be improving next for afk fishing. My time is very limited recently so afk fishing is about all I can do so I want to do the best I can. I am usually at Velia and then taking the well to sell in the land of the morning light. Any advise or suggestions for where to go from here would be much appreciated.

Guardian or Seraph? New BDO Player

So looking at these characters, they're the ones I am interesting in playing the most out of all of the classes. not interested in meta, I prefer I just love the styles and aesthetics of the two characters.

I just wanted to know how close their outfits/customization follow along with female knight/female Viking aesthetics they have. I am leaning a lot more towards Seraph as she reminds me of Saber from fate and how similar is she also to her.

Also I want to play this game more for PVE and want to play a relaxed/simple character.

Why does PA insists on buffing the most braindead class in the game?

With the recent labs patch, Striker got the biggest beefest thickest buff I've ever seen for a class that has never done bad in PVP or PVE. While other classess like Maewha don't get shit and Dark knight gets a whole bunch of nothing.

I'm not trying to ragebait here, I'm genuinely curious why they keep buffing classess that don't need it and doing dumb changes to excuse a "buff"

Has PA ever talked about this? Is there any real reason, is striker weak and I'm just dumb?

Get instantly deleted in AoS :S

I’ve not really done any PvP as I only just hit 60 for the first time on my ninja but I wanted to try AoS. I get cc’d and then near instant death. No idea what to do. Everything happens way too fast with people dashing all over the place. How can I at least get somewhat of a grasp of what’s going on?

Wasn’t able to play much first week so I’m on the 5th level floor etc but can’t match make, hitting 20 mins on the times I let it go or currently now, thinking a weekend would help I’m past 8 minutes.
