Black Desert

So, the new classes, Musa (Blader) and Maehwa (Plum), are coming out on April 20th. These were the classes I wanted to play originally, but I'm still having a lot of fun with my Valkyrie and very close to get my gear maxed out and I have no intentions of leveling a new character all over again at this moment.

They are super cool though and I think we will see a flood of these classes everywhere next week:

I think I may have hit on the worst case of RNG I've ever encountered in an MMO- a couple of weeks ago I picked up a daily quest to catch 3 of a certain type of fish. I've been afk fishing nearly every day since then, usually for at least an hour a day, sometimes more. I'm likely somewhere in the ballpark of 15 hours of just afk fishing specifically for this one quest I picked up.

Currently sitting at 2 of 3 fish caught.

At this point I can't just abandon the the quest, I need to see this thing through. It will be my character's greatest achievement.

Hah! Don't let it discourage you. This is just some weird random weirdness that I lucked into. Similar quests in the past have rarely taken me more than an hour or so. I'm also probably not fishing in the correct areas and it's hard to find bodies of water anymore that aren't exhausted by gangs of other players. Being able to let the game play itself while I do other things makes this little more than an annoyance, as well.

I ran in to that with the sloth on the island near Velia. I just went off and didn't finish the quest. Think I am 1/3.

Fish can be found in different percentages in different places.

Huh, who knew Shawn was allergic to fish?

Anyone still have their gift letter 4 (from level 40) that they'd like to trade with me? I keep asking in guild chat, but I haven't been finding any takers.

Caught my first horse last night. Took around 25 tries but finally got the hang of it. Once you catch the horse and throw the rope, start hitting W right away to move toward it or you fail.

Her name is Steve (oops, who knew you found out the gender AFTER you name her) and she's Tier 2. Pretty cool mechanic to catch a horse, looking forward to delving more into everything regarding them.

I've only seen people with level 5's getting traded in guild

Its best to watch a video to understand the timing but, you have to move right up to the horse to mount it. thing is everytime it rears up on its hind legs you have to do the mini game and spam your space bar. BUT ONLY THEN! Any other time and you fail. Then when you get right up to the mount you have the option to use an item or mount. Use 3 sugars and then mount.

Feel free to bounce it to Faydes zero and I'll bounce you one back.

On a related note, how's Haven panning out? They likely to want another Bal 01 top 20 trader?

I'm sure they would. They have like 7 of the top fishing spots.

Sweet, I'll do that this evening. Thanks!

Thanks Ranalin, I'll seek out the Haven leaders and bounce them a message; keep seeing you folks around, apologies if my suicidal battlecart has crushed any toes of those autopathing in North Calpheon

Started with some of the work folks on Uno, where one of them had some friends making a guild, but after questioning the all too frequent bigoted hate speech going on even in guild chat, we all left, many stopped playing, and I drifted Orwen's way.

These seem to be good folks. They do tend to not pay 100% attention to chat and answer questions better on Discord, but i've seen people willing to help a lot and they're actively trying to get us ranked up in the top 25 guilds. They joke around a lot, but i've yet to see any of the stuff you were talking about.

30% chance for a t7 horse with a 25/-30 t6/t6 combo. confirmed on the EU and NA servers tonight.

The color pairings seem to be crucial as well, I've a matched pair of t5s and an unmatched pair of 5s on a cart pathing around Heidel at the moment, we'll see.

Filled in the Haven web form, will wait and see how often they check back there. The life xp bonus is nice right now, blew right through the professional levels to a hair under artisan 2 in trading just in an afternoon/evening.

Whisper Tsion on Bal01 and he'll get you in right away. I already told him you may be ocntacting him.

Classy move Daum, additonal free character slot when the new classes release; here's hoping no-one deleted an existing character to make room yet.

http://forum.blackdesertonline.com/i...

That's pretty cool. I don't plan on playing one of the new classes yet but having another alt to accumulate more energy with (for free!) is always good.

I didn't delete anyone, but I did spend my loyalty points on an extra slot.

Oh well -- either way, an extra energy farm is probably one of the better uses for loyalty points.

Musa interested me, was a great grinder in KR, but wasn't sure if I wanted to delete the tamer-fishing-bot to make room; now... I don't have to worry!

I keep hearing more and more about this MMO, and I am thinking of giving it a try. Is the server info in the original post still correct? Anyone have a guest pass that is unused by any chance? Thanks,

I just updated the OP yesterday with the guild info. Server info is still correct.

Guest pass on its way to you Xeavn, check your PMs

Thanks ShynDarkly, I got your message. Now time to download it!

Have the new classes released? I was taking a break from this game until they came out
