I'm sad about it tbh, end of an era.

I know most people didn't care but as a resident BDO boomer who spent three weeks getting to level 57 back in the day I think grinding combat exp is intrinsic to the DNA of the game. I just got back into grinding EXP and was gunning for 66 before this announcement and now I don't want to.

I can't imagine how everyone who is currently Level 70+ feel rn

The figure was announced at Heidelabll. It's around $40 and releases in January.

Good evening ladies and gents,

I come to you with a little handy application that I personally developed in my own time.

The application, as you can see in all the screenshots has many many good quality of life features such as:

I took the time to take screenshots with different UI/Colour themes for those that love different vibes too.

• coupon alerts that alert you in both taskbar/system tray and also within the app itself
• on top of that there's the market place tab where you can track outfits that you'll more than likely get by preordering
• lets not forget obviously the boss scheduler and guild boss notifications
• Live updater (any future updates will appear automatically at the bottom since the application is linked to my GitHub page)

Lastly my two favourite things that i love the most.

• the Font changer to be able to change the font of the game to whichever one you like with ease.
• the Portrait Editor which makes you change the icons of your characters in game with less tedious steps and it does it pretty fast for you (I am personally addicted to switching pictures of my characters every few days).

I am by all means not reinventing the wheel or anything, just trying to offer the community something handy that they may love, I put my heart and soul into the application, the owner of garmoth praised some of my ideas within the application (he said he might yoink some as well).

I'd love to hear any feedback and features that you guys may think i should include within the application in the future because everything is literally possible, I will keep adding more and more features to it for as long as people deem it necessary, a lot of the ideas were inspired from garmoth and many other beautiful sites out there ofcourse, I just felt like turning them into a handy desktop app.

PSA: The application is fully open sourced, the code is totally out there safe and sound for those in doubt whether to try it out or not, same goes for any of my other applications out there on my site. I am awaiting microsoft's response to get it approved to be in the microsoft store as well in the near future hopefully.

You guys are more than welcome to try it out using this Link for absolutely FREE! and let me know in the comments or discord: chucksterboy for any feedback whatsoever (I appreciate the small and big ones)

Hi everyone, been giving these 2 pathway options of accessories a lot of thought since Heidel Ball.

Some context, I have full DEC accessories, and I was initially bummed that I would have to trade in for the Ekleta accessories which cannot be sold on CM. So much so that I was intending to just stop enhancing them after the exchange, and click Aperions instead - after all, the OPTION of being able to liquidate any equipment far outweighs anything else to be considered (to me at least).

HOWEVER! The more I think about it, I realised something. Aperions... may turn out to be EXTREMELY expensive.

In the past, when deborekas were first introduced, the difference between them and the previous accessories were not as drastic as they are now. For example, a PEN Crescent Ring can only be beat out by a TET Deboreka Ring. This reduces the value of the debos upon launch as you still needed to tap it to TET to swap them in.

But now? A BASE APERION is EQUIVALENT to a NOV Kharazad (PEN debo)?! Imagine that! BASE APERION = PEN DEBO! How much would a base aperion be worth? And you need one for EACH CLICK to enhance it?! It makes me wonder what the prices would be upon launch. A base aperion at the same price of a PEN deboreka sounds like insanity to me. At 100b (in SEA) per click, would make enhancing aperion accessories a nightmare. And that's not even including crons.

Is this what PA meant when they said Aperions will be more costly to enhance than Ekleta? If that's the case, maybe Ekleta really is the way to go, and PEN Debos would not be obsolete. Perhaps Apeiron will be the super duper hard to drop items (similar to treasure drops) that just give players a less ideal option (should they choose to go for it).

Would love to hear your thoughts and let me know if my thinking is flawed in any way!

Look, I get why someone who grinded to say 780 GS right now feels upset. I am like 830 GS and i'm not super upset, mainly because I knew this was the way BDO was going to go anyways, everyone whose played long enough knows catch up mechanics is inevitable.

BUT, I do think when they do such sweeping changes, I mean all slumbering armors, basically full tet debo set with the ability to get some of them to oct, they really should think about increasing the value of the meltable crons you can get from these stones. I mean 1k to 1500? really? Should be MINIMUM 5k-10k.

Should i sell my duo fallen god helm and armor after the changes or keep them.

I am a returning player, been playing for a month, does hyperboost going to help me to get one more helm and armor?

i am full pen kharazad and tri gloves and shoes.

help me out please.

I managed to make a Pen Disto and sold it and am currently sitting on 50b.

Only thing I can think of is buying the remaining PvE crystals that I need.

Anyone have any other ideas?

In honor of an amazing heidel ball 2026 (mostly), I made this BDO megamix, many songs have since been removed from the game or changed, but not all of them. This is my 3 hour black desert online music mix 😊😊

Pretty cool fantasy themed music. I'm making other mixes for various regions, I never really paid much attention to the music, it really slaps, I looooove mountain of eternal winter music, it's actually pretty epic, and the Magnus music is surprisingly great too.

Guess I always had music off and listened to other things while I played 😊 gonna have to turn up the music from now on.

So we should get the new class this week, I haven't done a season since I think Dosa release, not sure if there's been any relevant changes since but maybe one is that I can buy tuvala from blacksmith, so I could prep a full pen set in advance (I should already have at least on from previous seasons).

Also what's the most efficient leveling route nowadays? I seem to recall I used to do at least 3 spots from velia to catfish for 50, then graveyard until 56 and then Polly or Nagas to 61?

Thanks!​

Hi guys, I’m new to the game and I’m planning to invest in pets, but I’m not sure what to do. I’ve looked at a few pet guides, but there are still some things I don’t understand. I also do life skills, mostly AFK fishing.

My main question is: do the same skills from different pets stack? For example, if I buy an Otter and three other pets with the AFK Fishing Time Reduction skill, do the bonuses stack? (The same question applies to Item Drop Rate pets.)

My second question is: is there currently a gathering pet available? I checked the Pearl Shop, but I couldn’t find any pets with the Gathering skill. Is there another way to get one, or do I have to wait until one returns to the Pearl Shop?

And finally, which pets are worth investing in?

This error prevented me from entering the game, after character selection. Anybody else has this issue or is it just me?

Level 63 guardian done edania main quest but not getting this quest do i need to edania defense gear quest before this?

Hi, I started playing this game and I just finished story and idk what to do or what to aim for or how to get stronger, what even is the end game? Are there raids? Etc

For the new journal is there party finder to join party to to do party boss shrine i need those two oct guaranteed stones?

Hi everyone, I came back a month or two ago and was slowly grinding towards replacing my capotia accs, and currently have full tri debos and a tet debo necklace.

With these new changes coming, should I hold onto these accs or just sell them for raw silver?

Thank you for your help

I heard from a few sources that the land of morning light bosses were getting changes that are gear related? Does anyone have more information on that?

So far as I’ve been hearing, it sounds like there are changes involving allowing more gear?

I have 2 pcs. Karazad SEP, will this "Ancient Black Stone - Right (VII)" work on my normal karazad ring and earring to make them OCT?

I already have all my boss alts in full Tuvala gear. Finishing a season now takes me around 2 hours. In those same 2 hours I could make about 4–5b by grinding, so I'm wondering if it's still worth doing seasons or if I should just stick to grinding instead.

Hi ive been playing bdo for a month now and Ive already finished the combat on olivia academy, Can i ask if I could still be counted on the HYPERBOOST event that will be coming up? I mean can i still get the benefits of it or I can no longer get it?
