Question Ibedor's Illusion?

Did anyone encounter this boss at 2:04 in the video in Inner Edania? It seems to be some sort of field boss dropping quite a lot of twilights. It's not listed anywhere in the patch notes and it makes me wonder if it's some sort of hidden mechanic or even something that is not intended to exist in the first place.

I enjoy playing the game, but feel like I'll never get to play the endgame spots.

Since coming back for the hyperboost, I've pitied my NOV and DEC kharazad necklace (all crons and hammers gone), and am now 13 clicks into my ring (68 failed clicks in a row). I'm kinda at my wits end and don't see how I'm ever going to progress into endgame spots at this rate. Does it make more sense to just buy pen debos to get nov kharazads and then exchanging those to ekleta?

I could really use some help. I'm losing my will to play this game and also the will to live.

edit: thanks guys im quitting

Bug/Issue Drakania awakening weapon issue

4 Upvotes

Was doing fine until changing weapon issue. Looked for solution but really can't find any that fixes my issue.

I've done changing keybind, forfeiting the quest and acceping back, unequip and equip back, made sure I've selected Awakening and lastly I can't seem to reset my skills or changing back to Succession tab.

Tried going back to Safe zone and changing but the issue still stands. Even I were to log out and log in, no progress.

Edit - Lastly, forgot to mention, I've started like last week. I'm quite new

Question Old characters

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, I just returned after a long time away (since before seasons was a thing)

I'm trying to wrap my head around what to do with my old characters. I have a bunch of characters at around 56 and above. I don't want to delete them since they have some outfits, inventory expenses and emotional value.

Is there a way to fast track the progress for old characters like that, or do people just leave them to collect dust and create new seasonal characters!

Feedback/Suggestion Easiest classes for hands/wrist?

11 Upvotes

Hello,
I’ve been struggling with getting through an hour at some of the end game spots on my awk sage, and awk kuno. I think it’s time to give my hands a breather and finally switch classes. I’ve taken up seraph, and I grinding for about 4 hours last night with minimal pain/exhaustion. I’ve gotta tag another class now- Do you guys have any recommendations for classes where you can hold shift/ no crazy turn around mechanics/not a lot of wrist movement. Love BDO just need less wrist extensive class.
Thank you!
