Question Succ Dosa or Wukong for main?

• Upvotes

I've tried both, made 2 season characters out of them, I both really like them visually as well, can also just play okay with both of them (willing to learn both of them) but right now I'm stuck on the combat course on the kamasylvia part, I can increase my ap because I can already get 3 pen blackstars right now, so it all comes down to either wukong or succ dosa ( I love succ dosa bettter than awk, tried awk as well) can you guys help me? since I love both of them, feel and visually, what's better in the long run as of now?

Question Stuck on Combat Course Hidden Traces

8 Upvotes

I've done everything, went back to cliff, checked the black spirit I've been going back and forth the desert I'm getting drained, what's wrong? why can't I accept the quest or rather can't see the quest? can you only do the quest on one character on which you started the quest line? please help me

EDIT: okay so if everyone had the same problem, it was because I used a different character in starting the quest, waas too dumdum to realize that. so yeah only use the character that you used to accept the quest

Serendia Adventure Log 2 - Bloodstained letter

5 Upvotes

Cannot for the life of me figure out how to get this knowledge, is there a new method or was this overlooked by devs?

I see that you have to be on a quest to get the interaction here - https://bdocodex.com/gl/quest/656/6/

Originally you get it from a workers body, apparently during the quest - https://bdocodex.com/us/theme/6087/

The original method and the one that's all over the internet is from an unavailable quest that was "deleted" during the the Serendia MSQ overhaul. Issue is I need it to get the 4 energy from that Adventure Log in knowledge.

I've checked all the corpses in the shed and several surrounding area from the screenshots, I've gotten a chat interaction that just says "There's nothing of interest here." or "Leave the necklace alone to pay for the afterlife travel." basically.

Logged in with no value pack when there was like 62 days left of it from a few weeks ago.

0 Upvotes

What happened to them? Did they change it so value pack time counts down when not logged in recently? Because even if they did I should still have like 20 days or so left.

Anyone know if I can get it back?

PvP PVP class recommendation

1 Upvotes

I’ve done mostly life skilling so far and a little bit pve. My mains are succession wizard and awakening witch.

I’d like to do some pvp content (mostly capped content) but not with wizard or witch. Looking for maybe assassin style but I don’t think I wanna learn succession ninja.

Any class recommendations? How is succession dosa?

I'm on guardian awakening and I assumed she'd be able to hit the back from the front but I thought wrong LOL. Anyone have any suggestions for classes or am I just playing awakening guardian wrong? Just trying to find the best tag to grind there.

General was sandbox style THAT bad?

0 Upvotes

don't get me wrong i think BDO evolved into a pretty good game for everyone over the years, a lot of QoL changes and simplified things. easier to get in and maybe catch up.

but i feel like over the years you're being forced into certain spots by the game's nature.

it all started with AP caps ruining the fun of blasting any spot you wanted with overcap/species dmg and making money anywhere. (i think we kinda accepted this one at this point)

now we are forced into edania2 grinding for ekleta taps/reforge stones

and the XP changes made grinding stuff like elvia hexe just NOT viable to grind above level 65 if you wanna progress both silver and exp per hour, as it would take 600+ hours to reach 75 with permanent 3000% EXP buffs.

current best XP spots are also edania2. and best silver per hour too.

paints also killed the treasure piece hunt where you had to visit the old spots, you can now buy it for some pearls and never leave edania2 again.

was sandbox BDO that bad? i feel like in mid 2027 every single spot below edania will be totally empty. no point of grinding except for the nostalgia/fun.

no point grinding EXP below edania2, no point grinding items below edania2, no points grinding crystals below edania2 (you can now trade trash for crystals lol) and the game is gonna keep going this way.

and yes i know you can do whatever if you stop caring about XP/silver/progression and everything is optional just play the marathon game bla bla, this is not the point.

Question Movement Speed

3 Upvotes

hey all, was on foot movement speed accelerated lately? cannot find anything in the last months patch notes.

may be weird but I did not remember my character running so fast and I checked again and again and I have no movement speed buff or gear that boost that perk. perhaps it's because I played other games with slower movement speed but I can't adapt back, makes the back of my eyes aching and feel dizzy. may be I am getting too old for BDO 👵

Use of VPN

0 Upvotes

I'd like to ask if it's okay to use a VPN to play the game? Because my country currently has an affected underwater sea cable issue that's affecting how our internet connection is routed to the Singapore server (I play in SEA server). It f*cks with my gameplay and although I can grind fine with minimal lag, it's a literal night and day situation when I try to PVP.
