holy shit BBI is so good
loot everywhere

how do I get there ?

does it save my progression through the different levels or do I have to go from the beginning everytime ? for example if I leave for gransys, can I go back to where I was in BBI ? portcrystals ?

I killed the chained cyclops and got the void key, also 2 BBI lvl 3 items, not yet identified.
best of luck to you anons

Repost from other thread:

From what I'm gathering from the posts in the thread, in order to train a pawn properly I need to go into its vocation and basically just copy what I want them to do generally for each encounter?

I really don't know what I'm doing this first playthrough so I have a feeling my pawn might be working really wonky by the end since I'm playing a strider.

Also, during a fight I accidentally picked up a pawn and dropped it really quick, now my other faggot pawns are doing it and I have no clue how to condition them to stop doing it.

>>129142840
More or less. Good news is once you figure out what you're doing you can still take them out on a training run later, pawns are prone to drop "ineffective" techniques (i.e. whatever they happen to be doing most frequently when they die).

Dunno what to tell you about playing toss though, might just be a quirk you get to enjoy.

>>129143158
That's not how trade or "rock" bans work. If you're getting 0RC and a rock from a rent return it means that player (NOT YOU) triggered the flood-detection system. Since when Capcom fixed the rent system they just pushed through all the held up rents at once lots of people had the flood-detection triggered for them.

Tends to last for only a couple days, depending on how much gift spamming the player continues to attempt.

It shouldn't cause any errors with your game itself, but the online network will notice and pause your ability to get gifts. Meddle too much and it may ban you outright though that's usually reserved for obviously hacked pawns.

on another note, does anyone know if the game can be shared between steam family, like could I just make another steam account and play it that way?
>>
>>129143345

No, like other classes it has strengths and weaknesses - it's just obscenely overpowered in Bitterblack because pretty much every aspect of the vocation is designed for an area with cramped quarters, a need for mobility and good elemental coverage.

And since BBI is where the endgame shenanigans are, most people will tend to eventually gravitate towards it. BBI also introduced the Blackwing Bow and Ninefold Bolt and that pushes things over the edge.
>>
>>129143743
>best way to play Archer
for shits sake m8.
Play everything if you want the best way to play absolutely anything. Min maxing means dick in the long run and you actually lose out on Aughtments for not changing Vocation for a super long time
>>
>>129143790
You'll have pretty shitty attack because of no magic classes so it's probably best not to go MA on that character

Still viable but you'll do literally nothing to anyone with magic resist
>>
>>129143790

Not really, you'll have great defense and health, and you'll still be using daggers against some enemies. Just play sorc for a little while to get some magick attack and the rank 9 augment (+20% to magick, it'll make a big difference) and you'll be fine. I'd also do some strider or ranger for stamina, but that's me.

I'm in final battle right now, the part before you apparently are supposed to jump on the dragon. I've got three ballistas which I'm supposed to shoot at the dragon, none of them work. I can mount them but I can't fire them. I can only switch the firing mode.

The Different Sky Quests are bullshit, just ignore them. Some of them are placed in areas that are locked behind certain quests and some of them are literally only available in an area only temporarily open before the end-game for a literal single mission.

OCD in this game is not recommended, otherwise you'll be doing every single escort quest and since EVERY NPC HAS ONE AND THERE ARE LIKE 200 OF THEM, GOOD LUCK WITH THAT

How many times do we have to tell you levelling doesn't matter. If you care about levels just pick a class with gains you like, farm with weal until the softcap at level 100.

I dont think anyone's denying you'll get bigger numbers.

The issue is by that point in the game, there's literally nothing to use those numbers on. You're already killing Ur-Daimon in 10 hits. You're one-shotting regular enemies already. There's the Ur-Dragon but he drops stuff BBI Level 2 items outclass, unless you want to compete on hacked leaderboards nobody looks at because as we've established the Everfall's existence as an end-game dungeon has been replaced.

You just spent hours with no class versatility for the prize of killing things a few seconds faster when you can play exactly like you want with the harsh and crushing price that you murder end-game horrors in THREE attacks instead of two?!?!

The game is balanced around balanced builds, it does not reward minmaxing in any capacity.

The math's been crunched on it, it's a difference of about 15% more or 13% less.

So it'll have an effect, sure. But it's not to the point that you should Godsbane and wipe your old character if you haven't minmaxed.

>>129144963
Depends on the rest of your stats. If BBI it's a decent idea to stack some Sleep/Petrification resist, otherwise pick whatever is stylish.

Yes. Then go talk to Fournival if you've saved him.

I've been playing MK the entire game, had no problems whatsoever with perfect blocking so far, some enemies have been tougher than others for sure, but this one ?
Forget perfect block, I havent been able to block at all a single one of his attacks and he knocked me over a dozen times.

Also, if there is some DD veteran here, I'd like a few clarifications on the progression during late game BBI.
As you can guess from the screenshot, I've 'completed' Duskmoon tower, and am now in the second part of BBI ( right ? )
The huge Eye as well as the Cockatrice were really annoying with mass slows, blindings, and petrifications.
I understand some of the debilitations can be cured with halidom, others cannot.
Basically, I'm gonna have to spent 50% of my time in the inventory, searching through dozens of curatives to apply or give the right ones to each pawn ?
Then, when I get some of the best armors in the game with nearly 100% resistances, everything becomes trivial ?
Thats not great progression to me, but whatever, fighting is still fun.
I've never died even though I just dinged 60 and often had a message saying that the labyrinth is not for 'young arisens'.
Whatever.

I also have a grip with Death, hes cool looking and all, but in my 2 encounters so far, I understand hes unkillable for me right now, all he did was choose one of my pawns, and simply insta kill it. Sweet, now you have to go back to that rift stone and summon the poor pawn again. Is that supposed to make you fear him ? Thats just tedious in my book.

Finally, is there at some point, the feeling that all of your 3 pawns actually do great damage, or are really useful ?
Against that guy in the screenshot for example, they all got one shot all the time, so I had to solo him.
I'm asking this because I could tell from the first few minutes into BBI that its a very different game than DD, in which you cant really tell the weaknesses of the pawns because nothing is really menacing.

So I'm trying to decide between Mitigator and Challenger for a Ranger pawn, from what I've they "cancel each out" or something like that, so I'm not sure if I should have them both as primary/secondary.

If someone needs a mage pawn, I've got one on level 41 called alatar.
Number 99 on the sheet. I'm currently testing his Inclination/AI/Traning having any effect on his focused botl usage.
So far I think that Inclination and teaching has nothing to do with it. Seems to me that he needs high enemy knowledge and once he has that he knows that he can do focused bolt as a knockback attack, to knock them back. Meaning he starts spaming it once he has enough knowledge. I would really appreciate some feedback on that.
pls hire him
If you're intrested what I have so far on Inclinations/AI etc. just ask.

Help

If I want to correctly train my pawns I have to teach them what to do playing as their same class right? if I change class later do they keep their knowledge or start doing things I do with my current class like getting close to enemies instead of staying away and cast If I've teached that before to them?

Can I train them to do stuff fighting goblings and other weak shit? I don't really want to ogo around with a class I'm not really digging for myself.

If your pawn isn't in a vocation that literally uses the same weapons or shares a skill set with you,you're wasting them and should just sideline them since at best all they're learning is your general movement.

How does damage work on weapons with both Strength and Magick?

Example, Signs of Valor daggers have 113 base Strength and 0 Magick. Scalding Razors have 91 Strength and 190 Magick. Does it do the sum total of those when attacking normal enemies, or does only the physical portion count?

>>129147062
yeah' ive been trying to figure out how pawn AI works.
I don't think that it's possible for any pawn to learn anything. It's just that he unlocks certain techniques once he reaches a certain level/knowledge or sees you do it. There's no way a game runnin on a console can handle intellegent AI that learns to observe, evelauate that data and then execute that himself.

Though what's shaking this for me are complicated combos. If it's possible for a pawn to learn/unlock a combo like, JumpKick,DoubleJump,Helmsplitter,Reset,HeavyAttack, then I really doubt that my theory is true because I don't belive that devs thought of this combo to be unlocked.
For easier stuff like Focused Bolt, Dodge Roll, Heavy Jumpattack I can see my theory being true because enemies have to use this stuff too and they need to know this without anyone teaching them and I would assume that your pawn has this same AI. This way Inclination barly seem to have an input on Combat behavior for me, it seem that they just filter out some actions if they are not Primary/Secondary/Tertiary, but that's it.

I wonder if the people saying stats don't matter have figured out that to get the equipment that makes stats not matter, you have to have stats that matter.

I'm seeing so many people in these threads struggling with basic BBI enemies because they spread themselves too thin. What's even sadder is that when they come to ask for help, the answer they get is, "Just get the gear!" You know, the gear that they have to get past these monsters to get?

So I started a new game, and apparently someone sent back my old pawn since my new one got knowledge of every enemy, quest and area in the game

Pretty average for what you get when people actually did a quest or two with it.

>"dude, level full assassin and swap to sorcerer, you'll be just as effective!"
no ones said that, and that is the rule to get that gear.
Just stick to one playstyle, meaning physcial or magical damage and you'll be fine. Though 10 levels in the "wrong" vocations doesnt mean you're fucked up if it helps you get good augments.

How far along is Ur-Dragon generation 7 right now?

>>129148367
No one is saying "play 200 levels of x class then switch to y!!" You don't need to min max to make it through BBI, no matter what class you're playing as. It should go without saying that playing 200 straight levels of a magic class is going to gimp your physical abilities, that's just common sense.

I really hope that the rerelease of the game will make a lot of new fan art.

I'm getting 40~60k RC each time my pawn is rented. Is this shit normal?

I'm drowning on 250k RC. What do I even spend this on?
>>
>>129148779
literally who the fuck is that

Is climbing enemies with the climbing augments the most effective way to deal damage as fighter?
>>
>>129148756
So what's all this talk about ur-dragon doing something, and then repeating or what not?

Is he like a world boss we all share or something?
>>
>>129148560
what anime is that from?
>>
>>129148479
I usually breezed through the game by choosing the bread and butter loadouts and skipping most of the story. It's kind of hard to explain how I'm trying to approach it but >>129148592 has the gist of it.

I'm not going to roleplay walking everywhere constantly though because fuck that.
>>
>>129148467
Are you playing hard mode? Not all quests require combat. Focus on avoiding that shit until level 10-15 when you'll start surviving beyond your first hit. Just stick to goblins and wolves unless you have to fight other shit.

What enemies are where varies by time of day.

You can climb bosses.

Use the side quest progression guide.

Fuck up bunnies and gulls and shit.

>>129148885
BBI cursed items. You'll want more than that.
>>
>>129148367

Obviously if you only play just STR or just MAG then switch you will be weak from the start. That doesnt change the fact you should still be able to get through BBI by just cheesing with MA or Strider Skull Splitter or something.
