If you just want a chill-mindless fun game that requires your brain only from time to time... then you've come to the right place.

Lost Ark could've been one of the best MMORPGs to this day if they just tried a little more...

mUCK.

One of the few MMORPGs I have ever played and paid for it.

+The graphics are a complete madness, if you have a decent pc, just put the remastered mode and you will be amazed
+I think (I'm not sure) that you can play this game even on a low-medium level computer (maybe if you put everything on low).
+The combos and skill's design are on a top tier level
+The content of the game is vast as well as the map.
+Really great character customization. I was impressed by "The Sims" series character customization, but here... is on another level.
+The game is not centered only on the combat system but also on Life skills, making it more versatile
+The more you play, the more you understand you don't know nothing about this game

-Despite the content being really vast, it can become repetitive, that could annoy you.
-Cosmetics also are difficult to obtain, of course if you have money you can pay them anytime, but if you don't you'll just play the game in the way it is...
-If you are not used to it, the combo system could be really annoying.
-The fact that it doesn't have fast travel may annoy you, but it is nice because it makes you travel the map and see all the world environment and stuff...

Tips:
~ Don't try to tame horses that are under tier 5, they are kinda useless. Instead you should grind for some money and buy a decent horse from the horse market. Tame is good only if you want to increase training life skill, also if you want to sell the horses, but it's not that convenient.
~ Just do all the missions, you'll get a lot of useful and powerful items. Also don't throw away the beginner black stones, you'll need them to enhance Naru Gear to PEN and then exchange it for Narchillan Gear (search it on google for more details)
~ If you got to level 45 and still don't have a decent weapon, you could go to Calpheon and search for the npc Kanobas, he'll lend a Kaia weapon for 50 contribution points. But if you do make the Narchillan Gear you won't really need it. Also if you did get the Kaia weapon from Kanobas, and don't use it anymore, just return it so he will give you the contribution point back, which you'll really need later on
~ Like in all MMORPGs you can bind certain abilities to the 0-9 hotbar so you won't have to remember all the keyboard+mouse combinations. Also you can change the key binding to other buttons like the mouse buttons.
~ If you are in a difficult situation press V and you'll transform into a black spirit that make you invulnerable for like 10 seconds giving you the chance to escape.
~ Make good use of the Marketplace. If you got a drop from mobs, a weapon for example, check its details and see if you can trade it on marketplace... you'll get more money by doing that than just selling it to NPCs.
~ If you have enough space inventory/your weight limit cap is big, you should keep the trash items that are dropped from mobs, you can get decent money by selling them to NPCs.
~ Don't ignore the in game Fame (press P and under your character photo you'll see your Fame):
>Combat fame increases based on the levels of your characters, characters with level 56 will get twice the combat fame, while the characters with level over 60 will get 5 times more, so for example if you have 3 characters that are 50, 56 and 60, your combat fame will be 50+56*2+60*5 = 462 combat fame. The bigger the combat fame is, the more money you'll get at the end of the day (with 462 combat fame you'll get 480k at the end of each day)
>Life fame increases based on your Life Skills mastery. This one is harder to increase, but can be easily done by afk means. You'll get Life fame points only if a certain Life Skill gets to at least Professional 1 (Fun Fact: the class Shai has Professional 1 in Gathering and Alchemy since creation). You can search on google to see how many Life fame points you get per mastery. Not all the Life Skills can be increased by afk farming, but some of them, such as Fishing and Training can (Gathering, Cooking, Alchemy and Processing also in certain cases, like mass producing). For more info search it on google.
>Special Fame increases based on Knowledge and Contribution Points, the bigger they get, the bigger the Special Fame will get. You shouldn't ignore Knowledge and Contribution Points cuz they're really important in different areas of the game, for example gaining a lot of Knowledge will increase your Energy Cap (top left) and so you can do more activities that require energy, such as Gathering. Also Contribution Points are really important if you want to get some passive income (search it on google, is too complex to explain it here).
~ A really good way to make money is by Imperial Cooking Delivery. You make packets (based on your cooking mastery) and then just sell them to the Imperial Cooking Delivery. It has its ups and downs, like your contribution points cap needs to be really high in order to make decent money from it (you can sell CP/2 packets, so with 300 CP you can make 150 packets). Obviously the materials to make the packets would be bought from the marketplace, and here are the most profitable ones based on your cooking mastery:
>Apprentice: Steamed Fish (~519 on the market)
>Skilled: Fruit and Vegetables Salad (~1325 on the market)
>Professional: Pickled Vegetables (~1880 on the market)
>Artisan: Cheese Pie (~14450 on the market)
>Master: Lean Meat Salad (~18100 on the market)
>Guru: Valencia Meal (~28k) / Balenos Meal (~21k)
Between all of them the most profitable ones are Professional, Master and Guru. Search on google for more details

BDO for me is a good MMORPG. The combat and combos system for me is really unique and that makes it for me a really good game. If you are a fan of grinding then this is your game, I might have 750 hours in game, but only like 250 of them are played, the rest is just afk farming.

Fun game to play with your friends... however it becomes repetitive, the only reason you come back to this game is to have again that 1h of fun, then you'll uninstall it again.

I have played this game for like one hour... and I can say that's nice, has good grapchis... But tha thing that freaks me out, is the buying timed items ( you buy an ak, for examples, for 24h/ 7d/1m or permanently but you have to pay more and more for all of them, like 24h=5000 game money, 7d=10000 game money...)

it's ok..

The best game to play with friends!
