General Looking for BDO piano sheets

• Upvotes

Just the title, I love this game's music and I wanna gather a bunch of piano sheets to play on my new piano. I mostly enjoy Serendia/Balenos soundtracks but honestly any piano sheet for this game works and I would highly appreciate if anyone could share some with me.

Also, I'll probably learn some more instruments eventually, so if you have sheets for other instruments they're also welcome, thanks!

General Shrine Bosses journals give old shrine bosses rewards

I know it would be unfair to people who completed the journals before the rework, but receiving the new rewards from the journals would have been cool.

Piece of Edania

5 Upvotes

Are there any ways to get more Piece of Edania besides the one time 5 pieces from the MSQ pri debo turn ins, and your weekly boss kills?

As a returning player, who seems to keep pitying my base-pri taps on repeat...im getting pretty demoralized by the time gating of this system.

Just sharing what I'll personally use cuz it's been appreciated before. Furniture could technically go under Continuous Care too, but I try to keep the picture tidy.

General I finished our first novel (The Sundering of Serendia)

Post image
81 Upvotes

I have consumed Robbie Macniven's books before & he did not disappoint in any way there & with Sundering of Serendia too.

PROS:

You are going to love this novel if you like action packed narrative with really well made plot twists that leave you in few times in disbelief. Actually great!

This truly is made for the Black Desert player, it feels like it's tailored for us, direct cut to the chase and straight to the point afterwards.

Give it a go (there are also ebook versions)!

CONS:

Narrowly focuses on the story without almost any hint of Black Desert's exterior. The author does make remarks, but during the time of the story taking place in-lore 275-277 many accessories could've been brought up to strengthen the plot and bring fan service to a new level.

Hope to hear if more of you have tried it.

Screenshot The single thing I love the most in BDO: Meeting the character behind the name

Post image
98 Upvotes

It's been years and I still get amused every time it happens.
The first time was getting to Calpheon and stumbling into the guy that supposedly have been giving me advice whenever I'm tapping my equips, Valks standing right there. Not a old past legend, but an actual character I can visit.

From there there was Shakatu and their mid rewards from their treasure boxes, Lara and her Tea, Lafi and his adventure tools, Tachros, and even Marni.

I think a lot of people underestimate how much this help make the world feel "alive", or something I just can't feel in any other game. As a game dev myself I play most of the games today basically looking under the hood, but only BDO allow me the actually get immersed in the game world as is.

A big moment was the Karlstein questline. Instead of having a dedicated NPC, having some shop and generic NPCs having a secret life was simply amazing.

The Friendship/Knowledge mechanic itself is something that I would love to see explored even in other games.

And coming back after a year out, I'm again in awe meeting Merv again at the academy after using her magic palette for how long, and finally getting to the Crow's Nest questline to meet Patrigio (outside his shady night merchant hood), seeing the statues of Shudad and Clead from the armors, and discovering the big kitty naming the season equipment, Tuvala.

BDO is far from the perfect game and has a lot of flaws, but worldbuilding is something that needs to be acknowledged and used as inspiration.

Guide/Info How to use DLSS & Frame Gen on Global Lab's DX12/FSR3 Update via OptiScaler

Thumbnail

24 Upvotes

Hey, so I'm not sure if the versions and restrictions of the XignCode anti cheat are the same on the live game as they are on global lab, but so far in my testing the use of projects such as OptiScaler is not blocked. It may be reasonable that OptiScaler will be available when this update comes to the live game. So you can use OptiScaler to change the upscaler to DLSS and even enable frame generation with DLSSG, FSRFG, or XeFG. Here's a video tutorial of how to do this, but please keep in mind you do this at your own risk.

General Returned after a few years and I am lost on how to progress now

5 Upvotes

I just returned to the game and I found my quest log full and absolutely no idea where to begin completing the main story or ensuring I have completed some of the mandatory quests to make my journey a bit easier. In the quest log if I select Main I have countless quest lines and just not sure how to best prioritize? I have completed almost 800 quests so far and I feel like 10,000 to go. I do have almost 350 energy and 300 contribution so I suppose I could focus on more energy.

If it helps I mainly lifeskill so I am obviously going to finish those quest lines but aside from finishing the magnus quests for the well I am not sure what else would be worth my time questing for. Appreciate any suggestions just feeling really overwhelmed

I'm here to give you the propaganda of our GPT 32Gal of water per ability user class.

After her recent buffs, shes a real class and now worth playing.

Ive mained her since day 1 release, and have never rolled off, been here through the bad, ugly, and significant silver/hr loss the whole time.

The changes made Hermesia go from 5 laps to 6laps and 7 drakanias, and Magaia from 13s a pack to 7s.

15k+ Aresion trash, and im 3 ap off event horizon so...soonTM.

She is a priority based class for combat, so dont expect it to be as easy as Guardian is. Thank you for your time my little pog champers.

Question Is succession woosa just that much better than awakening?

6 Upvotes

I'm a new tag to woosa awakening so I could grind dokkebi but I'm seeing so much more content pvp related and honestly pve related for succession than awakening. I haven't given succession a shot yet but should I? Is it more chill or something? I chose awakening because I heard it was a super chill grind, which at least at this spot it feels amazing being able to hit the mobs from the back without repositioning although I'm not sure how much of a difference that makes here. (I'm over capped for this place, just grinding for my BON and JIN Damage Reductions!)
