Yeah, I'm at 2692 points on my main. They're just collecting now.
I also apparently suck dick at this game. Used an agris coin at Orcs and got a whopping 30k trash. Apparently lots of other classes can do that with just a yellow loot scroll.
Yeah, I'd be HIGHLY skeptical of Garmoth numbers. I usually just use blue or sometimes yellow as the "baseline". Shit gets really muddy when you add shit like agris, agris coins, etc.
Orcs is actually a really good example, because people CLAIM that they're getting around 35k trash there with agris + blue scroll. Issue is, you can't grind a full hour there on agris and there's no fucking way you're pulling 17k+
more trash loot over blue off of 15-20 mins or so worth of agris points. Depending on the amounts, as long as I'm close to the "average" for my class on blue scroll, I figure I'm good and that should roughly translate if I add in yellow scroll, agris, etc. I don't care about big dicking the numbers but if the "average" for my class is 10k at a spot and I'm pulling 6? I know I'm doing something wrong. If I'm pulling 9? 9.5? Meh, I'm good with it.
For instance, Lower Sycraia is around 6.7k average trash on a blue for Succ Lahn. I typically pull right around 6.5-7k depending on how try hard I'm going, how much I'm paying attention instead of peeking at a YouTube I'm watching, podcast, etc.
Yeah compass would be great for Margoria coin/special barter runs/sea monsters. I just can’t get motivated after all the horror stories about drop rates in Hysteria. I wish they would at least buff the loot to be on par with centaurs or make a higher rare drop rate like at Kratuga. At least there the drops make the low $$ trash loot not as bad
Your wish is PA's command. Aakman and Hystria are both getting huge buffs. Aakman's trash is getting bumped to almost 13.1k and it's at 7.5k now, Hystria is going to 24.3k and it's around 15k right now.
Just looking at rough trash "averages", it bumps both spots by about 200m/hr in raw silver(little less for Aakman - about 171m), which is pretty huge, especially for Hystria. It probably puts Hystria above Lower Sycraia now (especially if you don't craft Frenzy Draughts) and it'll put Aakman right around even with Lower Sycraia. I'll definitely grind for the compass after the changes, since my retarded ass decided to get a Carrack. Aakman was always one of my favorite grind spots in the game but it was pretty outdated even back when I occasionally grinded there in 2021. It's WAY outdated now.
EDIT: Fucked up my math and forgot to calculate in the current value of the trash. Buffs aren't quite as big as I thought. It's about 70m/hour more for both spots. A decent little buff but probably doesn't put either above Lower Sycraia. Hystria gets close though.
The sea content needs a buff. Is there a way to make silver doing sea monster stuff? I’m trying to make the Nineshark chandelier but I keep realizing how much silver I am not getting via grinding.
That is the one hard part of the game for me. There is so much stuff to do, manor, sea realms, horse gear, crafting….but if you do that it seems to be a long term waste as to the amount of silver/hr is just not there via grinding. And the game seems focused on silver/hr since everything is so expensive
Sea content definitely needs a buff but it has been "dead" content for a long time and they're super slow to change anything with it. Like anything in BDO, it's all about incremental progress - don't worry that much about wasting time, just worry about slowly "progressing" whatever the content is. But if silver/hr is your goal, definitely steer clear of sea content.
Plus, you don't necessarily try new shit in BDO because it's MAX SILVER!! You switch it up to keep shit interesting/fresh. Whether that be a new life skill, a new grind spot, sea content, etc. Sometimes you realize after a while it sucks compared to what you were used to, then go back to your old grind spot or whatever, repeat.
