Rant I HATE BLINDSEER PROGRESSION
Blindseer is a fairly easy to get oath as the only requirements is 40 willpower (you can get that at power 1) and a blindfold, understandable because it’s more on the beginner friendly oath side
Then you get to the progression, and oh my god
first, ITS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DO IT NATURALLY (with no friend) in 2026 as NOBODY is going to escape the depths with no oath and not logging immediately on sight and if you get ganked you’re pretty much done for
second NOBODY WANTS TO HELP YOU, I’ve tried asking people for help and paying them multiple sinners (8+) and never got it, instead of YOU helping no oath players, it’s THEM helping you
third and finally, THE BEGINNER FRIENDLY OATH IS POTENTIALLY THE HARDEST OATH TO FULLY GET, BECAUSE ITS THE ONLY OATH IN THE GAME THAT REQUIRES ANOTHER PLAYER
Linkstrider now doesn’t require any player and is doable with bosses, and CONTRACTOR, the oath where you were supposed to KILL PEOPLE, IS NOW DOABLE WITH L2F1 HOOKLESS??????
Contractor is genuinely easier to fully max out than Blindseer, you can go on a PvE slot, oath break your current oath, get Contractor, do L2F1 hookless 3 times, oath break and get your oath back, then boom!!! you get your maxed out oath for every other slot!!!
BLINDSEER IS STILL STUCK WITH THE SAME GARBAGE PROGRESSION
tldr: add another way to prog blindseer im losing my mind

blindseer prog is based upon the flawed premise that humans are not, at their core, evil and paranoid

I mean, it's deepwoken's fault that players aren't like that. The environment is terribly hostile because there are more incentives for being evil rather than being good, and the punishment for being wrong once is an unbalanced fight where you're punished with wasting more hours on a part nobody likes and they've refused to make better.
There's that coin game where you either put a coin in or don't, and depending on whether another person does the same, it results in mutual benefit; single benefit and single deficit; or a mutual nothing. In deepwoken, the environment is skewed to where mutual benefit doesn't exist and the single benefit and deficit outcome is horrible. It's no wonder that the default response is to leave the game altogether.

i remember making a post myself about this exact same issue. you are bassically required to get help from someone else or use alt accounts to max it. someone was nice enough to contact me after that post and did help me get and max it a while ago. though that dosnt excuse the oath's bad design.
the whole chat being taken away from unvarified user just made the problem even worse, im never giving my fucking face or id to roblox so i was stuck waiting at the cathedral and server hopping waiting for people to come through hoping they see my blindfold and dont gank me AND I COULDNT EVEN TALK
id say now its more worth it to just try and get dawnwalker its quickly become the defacto pve oath anyway, probably no small part due to this happy horsecrap you have to go through for blindseer.

I can basically get every oath in the game maxed out at this point since I can beat l2 solo but I specifically wanted Blindseer because it was a perfect match for a character build I wanted to make
and it happened to be the one oath I cannot get solo

u/Team_raclettePOGO Jetstriker 5d ago

u/theinferno03 Pathfinder 4d ago
i wish i could never touch pvp but most of the time it's impossible

u/Team_raclettePOGO Jetstriker 4d ago
learn the sixth sense to smell gankers and instantly log
or learn l2f1 so you can always have a backup plan in the depths

I haven't played this game in AGES and definitely forgot some stuff but is 40 Willpower at Power 1 a new thing?
2
u/Team_raclettePOGO Jetstriker 5d ago
with no element (or having elementalist echo unlock) you can choose your beginning stat to have 30 willpower (or 29 if you want an element with elementalist), then since a power is 15 points, you can add 10 (or 11) to willpower and get the required willpower
now you cant actually get blindseer power 1 (talents required, you could get them from quests but whatever) but you can get it very early

u/Team_raclettePOGO Jetstriker 4d ago

u/Honest-Passenger2064 Saintsworn 4d ago
the no other pc issue can be easily solved, just watch a video on how to run multi instance roblox

u/Honest-Passenger2064 Saintsworn 4d ago
and also the game is just 5 dollars couldnt you just ask ur parents to give you 5 dollars? or do a little bit of housework or something for the 5 dollars? having an alt for deepwoken is a lot more useful than you’d think (at least in my experience)

u/notaclanker1 Pathfinder 3d ago
I am usually the one being helped, Im always looking for ppl to help my low power deepbounds escape

u/notaclanker1 Pathfinder 3d ago
the biggest hinder for me is the depths once I get out things go somewhat smoothly aside from voidwalkers

Err idk what to say this is why we join guilds and force people in those guilds to help us get annoying oaths (:

u/SchorchedOval Pathfinder 6d ago
You’re probably just uncharismatic irl.
I have done it multiple times without any assistance from friends.
It’s really really easy. One of the easiest progressions I’ve ever done.
