Finally had my Vell's Heart filled after 6 months! so excited!

Didn't think it was ever going to fill but after 6 months it did. Decided to relist and take a month break, so it was a great welcome back present!

Proton, Linux and empty launcher window

I must confess that Black Desert Online (BDO) runs better on my Ryzen 5 5600 and GTX 1060 PC (with more stable FPS and no sudden crashes, provided the network is stable) than it did on Windows 11. When installing the non-Steam client via Lutris, you can use practically any Proton version. However, with most of them, you will see a black or white launcher after installation. As I found out (thanks to a helpful tip from someone), this can be fixed by locating the GameOptionLauncher.txt file stored in the emulated My Documents folder at /home/USER/Games/black-desert/drive_c/users/USER/My Documents/Black Desert/GameOptionLauncher.txt (find out where is your game folder and who is USER) and changing the last option to:

LauncherResourceType = 5

webvLanguage = 0

launcherRetain = 0

launcherMiniMode = 0

launcherGpu = 1

launcherOffScreen = 0

Worker Promotion Mail

As someone who has a number of workers, and I do sell them from time to time, I'd like to suggest to add which town/city the workers are "staying" after the promotion? I mean include it in the mail notification. I had 4 workers who I promoted last night and it was a hassle trying to locate them.

What should be next?

Should I upgrade my off-hand to VIII? Or should I focus on upgrading the rest of the accessories to IX? With the possible announcement of new accessories, I'm not sure if I should focus on them or keep improving my weapons.

How much do I actually have to spend to be relevant

I know the game is pay to win. (General consensus not objective fact) but I want to know what the bare minimums I can spend in a month is to actually be relevant and at what point in the game I have to begin spending. If I can write it off as a “subscription” I’m fine. If I’m paying a small car payment I’m not touching it. Thank you all.

What to do with all these items?

Please don't flame or downvote, I'm genuinely just asking knowledgeable players for guidance. I haven't played in a while because every time I launch the game I get a little overwhelmed.

If anyone can walk me through how to properly use these items to improve my gear, or what upgrades I should be working toward, I'd really appreciate it. I want to get ready for the next Ball event and the upcoming new class. Thanks in advance!

What I'm sitting on:

  • 17.6B silver
  • 72,000 Cron Stones
  • 5x J's Hammer of Loyalty
  • 6x Choose Your Transcendent Hammer Box
  • 1x Primordial Hammer
  • 1x Ancient Hammer

I made a mistake, did not I ?

https://preview.redd.it/gb7qn655h7bh1.png?width=745&format=png&auto=webp&s=667ae0b2275b4a0090e4e3f7fa4bd01a0006b0e9

I bought this Arctic Fox for pearls because I got tired of waiting for someone to sell on CM, then I bought x3 Gospys and used 2 Gospy and two other T3 pets to bring the fox to T4.
But, I havent read beforehand that fox's talent does not affect gathering, which is what I quite often do as a lifeskiller.
Well, its still good gather group pet, but for grind its skills are a waste, arent they?

What direction should I push for with the crons from ball. Ap or dp also everything I tap is about +15-20 past max another adventurers choice

Specific stutter Witch AOE

Hi. Need help.

I managed to fix most of stutters with Canadian Guide, youtube guides etc. But still have micro stuter with 2 specific skills. Witch awekening.

Black Spirit : Fissure Wave. Black Spirit : Equilibrium Break. When I cast normal version it's not stutter, but with black spirit rage at 100% it makes 1s annoying stutter.

I have Ryzen 7700 + 5070ti, ram 32 CL30, 6000, SSD Lexar nm620 2k monitor.

What I have now is affinity CPU 5554. Nvidia settings - max fps 100, v-sync on, low latency mode - on, threaded = auto.

Ingame Remastered (strange but high and very high graphic was more stutters vs huge remaster) + high textures.

SSAO, depth of field, faraway objects, hit effect, display filter - all off, camera effects - off. Opcaity effects set to minimum = 30. Low-power option off, optimization off, hide other adventurers on, alerts off, most UI elements off.

3d map tried, many things tried but it dose not help.

Any advice what I can try more with this specific aoe skills problem?

In worst case what other class with very easy combos or no combo I can pick instead, without such heavy aoe skills? (I am new, playing like 2-3 weeks).
