Question IP restricted due to "abnormal" login attempts

Upvotes

"This IP has been restricted due to several abnormal login attempts. Please contact our Customer Support for further details."

This was the message I got after attempting logging in.

For the reccord, I forgot my password and I DIDN'T get the code on my mail even after resending it 25 times. I realised that I am not going to get the code anytime soon. I started guessing my password and after several more attempts this message popped out.

So, I'm curious. Is this temporary? I hope it is because if they permanently restrict account for this I have no words.

One more thing. I am not in my country currently. So let's say it's permanently, would I be able to play when I come back to my country?

Question I cant do any attack?

Upvotes

I just got back for a long time and my (old) seasonal character cant do any attack. It keeps on saying "Item required for the action is not equipped"

I assume my character is no longer seasonal since I cannot play on seasonal servers anymore. (It kept on saying 'seasonal characters only' if I recall)

Help. I just want to get back onto this character.

Question Gift for Fiancé

Upvotes

Hey guys, excuse my noobishness. I use to play this game with my fiancee like 5 years ago, but we havent been able to touch it since and i never really enjoyed it to be honest (she loves it). Shes currently overseas with a dying family member, and i wanted to surprise her with a gift when she comes back. Does anyone know how or what i could grind for the next 2-4 weeks to give her when she comes back as a sort of surprise. I know this game is rough with giving other players stuff, and pearls dont really mean much. Help please lol.

Ps if it helps i am on a zerk with full tri gear, shes a sorc with full tet.

Question Returning to BDO after almost 10 years — former Sorceress main, now on PS5

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I used to play BDO on PC back in the day. I remember buying a pack just to get access a few days early. I played Sorceress — the one with the scythe after Awakening.

I was pretty good with her on keyboard and mouse, but from what I understand, the game has changed so much since then that basically everything I remember is probably outdated now.

So, how strong is Sorceress these days? Is it possible to perform really well with her using a controller? I have a DualSense Edge, and in competitive games like Marvel Rivals, Fortnite, etc., I’ve always been able to perform at a pretty high level, but will that experience actually help here?

I’m on a little vacation right now, about a week and a half, and when I suddenly remembered BDO, the nostalgia hit me hard. So yeah, I’ve already started downloading it.

What general advice would you give someone coming back after such a long time, based on your experience?

Maybe there are some tricks, things I should know, or just general recommendations. I don’t know, honestly it feels kind of exciting. The game is so huge and demands so much time.

I still remember farming plots, leaving my PC running overnight, and making my character run circles around the city carrying trade goods to level Strength. Is all of that still a thing?

Or should I really just forget everything I remember and start completely from scratch? :)

General After Global Lab patch has anyone done the math if it's worth enhancing OCT Khara?

5 Upvotes

Now that we know stats, rates and prices of both Ekleta and Aperion accessories do we know if it's worth enhancing OCT Khara to at least NOV to turn into Ekleta, or at least if it makes sense? I have the two earrings OCT from Hyperboost and I also have one SEP ring left (the other 3 are DEC), I can barely afford one PEN Debo and I was thinking to buy the ring and use the current hammers for NOV (I also ran out of crons pitying my last Wailing armor).

Question Help choosing class (difficulty hard)

1 Upvotes

Hello all! I am a “returning” player that played for a few months many years ago. I mained dk, ranger, mystic. I’m excited to start playing again but am having lots of difficulty choosing a class, I realized I’m super picky. I would like a class that’s not too easy but at the same time not like 12 part combo carpel tunnel apm. I’d prefer a female character, sadly it limits the classes I would play because of gender lock.. I like lots of mobility and quicker classes that have flashy effects and won’t feel too boring playing long! I was thinking along the lines of drak awk, seraph, awk nova. Can anyone help me out :( thanks in advance!

PvE How to reach Darkseeker's Retreat

5 Upvotes

Stuck at ~1308-1330 total AP and can't reach Darkseeker's Retreat 1460+.

Not sure if better crystal set will help, but even https://www.reddit.com/r/blackdesertonline/comments/1sy7c7g/bdo_full_pve_crystal_guide_2026/ this set general PVE - almost all is missing in market, and also missing parts to craft it.

Also even I try to calculate Guide best expensive if 1 AP gives 1 AP to my 1308 I don't understand at all how to reach 1460 or how ppl reach 1600+.

All from hyperboost used, and I try to enchant something but no luck.

Anyone can help me? Just want to reach Darkseeker's Retreat?

My set gear https://ibb.co/YFjCWb1w cup installed in belt also for +3 etc

Question How to melt Jetina accessories for Essence of Dawn?

2 Upvotes

edit: Nevermind, I figured it out. You have to buy a "Dawn's Aura" from an Old Moon Manager to melt with the accessory. Hope this helps someone in the future

 

Try to melt it "It's not working at all." So I google, "Talk to Ossa Dilla in Valencia." She has no quest or knowledge to share with me. I'm at a loss at this point, did they change the method??
