@Im Choice Thank you for being straight to the point, and talking at a good pace. 10/10 - You are my first “like” on a video in years.

[@Chris-iv8sb]

If you ever plan on getting the infinite potions, do it as early as possible - during or right after the season. There is always an opportunity cost to grinding on worse spots than at the best you can do, and the silver/h disparity grows ever larger over time and gear improvement. Mix the spots up if you get bored or burned out easily. And don't let anyone talk you out of getting them if you really want them. They're amazing QoL and well worth the time. You have them forever, and I couldn't imagine playing certain classes without them. Good luck.

[@uhis1686]

yea you're goddamn right. i've put off doing it and now im already going towards 280 AP and it feels real bad having to go to fucking blood wolves and sherekhan right about now

Yeap your deserve a big SUB my dude. Keep it up! Can I ask you one thing tho - could you make a striker succ & awa new guid for some easy rotations to grind those low spots and maybe another, harder one for those higher spots? I'm new to the game and I'm a little bit lost with finding outdated guids for my level of "I dont know what I am doing".

[@KingJerbear]

Hey brother, if you go on the BDO reddit, each class has it's own dedicated Discord servers. These have a wealth of information, including gear builds, skill combo rotations, pvp/pve addons, and tons of people that know a ton about the class. That's your best bet, they all have a lot of resources you can just find pinned in the channels, and if you still have questions there will certainly be people that can help you out. Good luck!

Any opinion on succ ranger grind? I feel like i cant come anywhere near the silver/hour numbers at kratuga and im 269 kutum with 4 lvl 3 pets and 1 lvl 5 but idk if im just better off tagging another class for grinding

[@RealFabz]

Succ Ranger is unfortunately not very strong at grinding mid-high end spot unless u "overgear" the spot. Several classes are considered better there, but general recommendations are warrior/valk, striker, ninja, hash and probably musa as well. Wizard/Witch will also easily grind kratuga. Guardian should be fine as well, however u wanna be as quick as possible there, guardian is not very quick at grinding but hits hard.

[@MarkSKristensen]

I need to ask about centaurs. I have been grinding there relatively often, ive never seen more than 200m an hour, with yellow scrolls and agris. I 1 shot the mobs and my pets pick everything up per group, im moving from group to group as quickly as possible, there's nothing else i can do to increase the speed because: im already 1 shotting, im moving very fast with striker, im using yellow scrolls and agris, and my pets r not slowing me down. How is everyone making over 400m???

[@ImChoice]

I would compare your rotation and grind speed with other KZbin videos on the spot to see where you may improve. Also people earn 400m when pricing out all drops, not just the trash loot. You are making only 200m in trash or 200m total?

[@yohs8072]

my alt is 266ap and making 24k TL at centaurs. it is 450mil/hr blue scroll with agris.

[@dudeyouarecuckie]

The biggest problem I see from what you're saying is - Striker. Striker is not a great class for Centaurs. Berserker/Musa/Valk are the best for Centaurs because of their mobility.

get more dp. or worst case grab defensive skill addons (dp and evasion buff) and run a khalk's elixir while grinding

[@mateomarangelli9191]

As stupid as it sounds, don't get hit. Constantly flank the mobs for back attacks, and break the furniture as fast as possible (Careful not to get caught in their CCs). If the mobs are facing you, you should either have a forward guard up, or be moving behind them again. I did that spot with less DP, and eventually got it down so well that I didn't need khalks to grind, and could actually pop Frenzies instead of beast's draught.

[@dennyfernando7115]

Total nonsense, you obviously are not looking @ monster AP caps and you can be in the 290s and cap out there easily with just mainhand being something like a tri or tet godr. You don't need pen BS awake or offhand for anything in this game, they are also horrible value for monster AP compared to MH. Kutum to ca3-7, if you only play succ you can get away with c19 tri awake, if you want to play awake now and then for other reasons, a 8b dande and caphra it to like 9.

Nora comment about getting or keeping those spots? You are just gonna walk up to Orcs and grind. Would have liked to hear something about the realities of trying to follow this.

[@legend240891]

IMO, infinite potion is still optional. If you are not strong enough for a spot, it still can't save u from the mobs melting you down so quickly. But If you are, even at minimal requirement, you only churn max 60-70 pots an hour. Thats me, a Suc Mae running 281/354 at Orcs.

[@MrKifon]

Really depends on class. Whenever it has sustain or not.

[@poop-yi1lj]

centaur makes a whole lot itself for money. 600m+, just trash loot itself is about 545m with 25k trash loot. then you get scrolls+caphras+black magic crystals+ blacks stones and artifacts. if black magic crystals cost up again to 2m-3m, you make about 700-800m

Tier 4/5 pets help a lot, and grind speed disparity from player to player can be huge. I used to make 30% less money than other players on my same class until I watched guides on the grind spot. Practice can make a sizeable difference plus the rotation you do as well.

[@lmoral222]

@@Gloomy_glo0m11 Sure, you could place a pre-order "easily", but how "easily" your order will be filled and RNG'd to you in Central Market is another story. At least one week wait, which isn't bad, but there are options. If I were new, I'd grind for it myself at 281 AP, it's a pretty good money spot and is a group grind spot to diversify the grind. Either way, grind for it or pre-order and hope RNG doesn't make you wait a month or longer, it's something Choice failed to mention, so figured I point out Fallen God Armor is a thing, not just Labreska.

So after a lot of testing ive come to find that Centaurs is extremely over stated in the amount of silver/hour you realistically make. At 251K(L60) im making around 8-9k trash there with my Valk alt which amounts to generally around 250mil an hour including scroll drops and such, This was with a yellow scroll as well(Level 2) on top of 70% event drop rate increase +Agris...(Yes i have all T3/4 pets) The silver/hour is still good but nowhere near this mythical 400-600mil people are citing. Unless im just farming in a really inefficient area, which im fairly certain im not as im farming the same route as duodecil in his centaurs video. It seems youre only realistically getting this 400-600 mil an hour if you are around 270 ish AP and up kutum. Posting this so people dont get baited into thinking youll be making easy hundreds of mils if youre around 190 or even WAY above it, 251k for instance... Would be nice if people stated the AP at the Silver/Hr theyre stating.

[@TheCosmicAstro-]

Looking at Garmoth monster zone AP caps it looks like i may be knee capping myself by being so high above the AP requirements of the area. I'll be testing dropping my AP down to just be in the 100% zone since currently its 70% effective which is dropping my effective AP down below what it would be if i had "less" Ap. Funky system but we'll see how it goes. Ill update after testing it a bit. Update after testing: Changing things around and trading a bit of AP for Much more Species specific damage changed almost nothing.
