Many lifeskills Disabled or not worth

Hey!
Coming from retail being a lifeskiller (master gathering, trading etc) it has me really confounded. Trading is disabled here, I have no idea why. The prices of things are 30000% of normal price. This basically makes fishing useless, it makes hunting useless, and it makes all the trade items dropped from mobs useless. Is there no way to fix trading?

Gathering has been nerfed with the nodes being reduced. However the only viable life skills are cooking and alchemy where you will have to farm everything yourself because the marketplace is empty. So gathering becomes a big part of being able to do those other lifeskills. The reduction in gatherable nodes in example cotton farms, corn farms etc makes it much harder for a life skiller to make its profit.

So the viable lifeskills are, (cooking, alchemy), farming, gathering and training. But there are so many more that are both fun, interactive and nice income. I wish to see more life skills being unlocked by the means of fixing trading, as me and my friends enjoy trading, hunting and fishing. There is no incentive to go to pirates since all the trade items are useless. Many areas of the game are limited because of the disabled trading.

But I want trading back!

 

I 100% agree with you. The main reason why I started playing bdo was for the game being so much more then just a typical ' forever grind' kind of game. The life skills in bdo is what makes this game fun to play, at least for me. Without trading, as you pointed out, fishing and hunting becomes useless. This leaves the only truely active life skill; gathering.
With the recent node reduction there will be an even bigger shortage of some materials in marketplace, which in turn if u wanne cook or do alchemy forces you to gather even more materials yourself at an even slower rate. Might be a good idea to increase the gathering node spawns again , even if it' s not as high as it was before the patch or increase the amount of materials gained per gathering action. It' s pretty silly u get about 80 nutmeg when gathering the whole field near Valencia City considering some recipes ask 3 nutmeg per dish.

 

Many statements you make are not backed up. You're also extremely subjective with them. Anyhow, lets put that aside.

The thread itself is somewhat of a nobrainer. What you ask is "Do you want content?". Of cause we do. Did I miss an development note which states that it won't be implemented? There is many parts which need attention by the development team. Trading is not an priority, as of now, and will only become one once their development plan tells them different. Let them work on their list.

 

Many lifeskills disabled - Only trade is disabled.
Not worth - Gathering, Training, Processing, Cooking even farming is worth as hell here. Every single life skill is worth as long as you know how to use it properly to get profit.
Ofc it would be nice to unlock trade, cuz i realy enjoyed it but if this could ruin server economy, then i can stand if one of life skills be disabled.

 

Training is mostly afk same goes for processing and even cooking in some way. Farming takes what? 20-30 min a day with 10x 10 slot fences. Gathering defintely not worth it if you wanne cook some goods, like the nutmeg for example.

 

Trading is the only one disabled yes. But with it comes fishing, since the fish is trade goods, hunting, trade goods. And all the trade goods from mobs. I don't see how this could crash the economy if they just make the 30000% normal %. Please elaborate how it would break the economy.

 

Trading being disabled even makes an entire grind spot ( pirates ) irrelevant.. why isn't it a priority fix monkaS

 

I'll add my 1 week old account ... casual-ish but addicted gamer voice to trade being enabled and am curious why it hasn't been yet?
An issue I've encountered for myself (probably because of my playstyle so no blaming anyone) is that my levels have gone forward so much faster than my gear-score ... my main is a 58 ninja and gearscore is able to manage Manes & Helms, but I stay outta the way of people who one shot these mobs. Forget Pirates or Sausans and not going anywhere near the desert yet.

 

I wouldn't want (crate) trading on this server with the .rescue commands it just seems silly using .rescue from port ratt. I would like Imperial trading to be enabled tho, theirs a cap on how many you can sell per channel which creates a nice bottleneck.

 

Easy fix would be to just increase cooldown on .rescue.. There is no need to do .rescue every 5 minutes anyway

 

YES!
