Below you will find a video personifying your Pre-Grind Checklist. 

This will take you through the well-ground mentality you must have to be an effective grinder.

Now that you have watched this short video preparing you for the journey ahead we can begin to Pre-Grind.

1. Is Agris on?

- Should agris be off? (???)

2. Are Pets on?

3. Are Pets fed?

4. Did you complete your PHD in Damage-Types?

5. Having completed your PHD in Damage-Type are you equipped with the right damage type for this grind?

- Do you have too much damage on? (???)

6. Do you have Scrolls on?

- Do you have the correct level of Scroll on? (???)

7. Who are you?

8. What is going again?

9. Why are we here?

10. You remember why came to the location you are in... 

11. Do you have Food Buff?

- Do you have the right Food Buff?

12. Do you have the right Crystal Set on?

13. Do you have Horse Buff on?

14. Do you have House Buff on? 

- Did you bring your house with you? (???)

15. If you're flying the ACH175 did you forget that "auto" pilot is not in fact the autopilot and disable it?

- Contratulations on having survived. Did everyone else?

16. What we were we doing?

17. Did you remember Perfume?

18. Did you remember Tent Buffs?

19. Did you remember Church Buffs?

20. Did you know Church and Tent buffs are together now?

21. Did you equip Event Buffs?

- Are you sure you have on all of them? (???)

22. Is this the right sort of location to us Event Buffs?

23. What's the difference between Item Rate and Item Amount exactly?

- Could this be better used elsewhere? (???)

... Your brain has denied you further permissions for access to whatever chemicals provide you analytical ability. 

24. When you have become conscious again are you prepared to grind?

After this 24 minute pre-flight checklist are you prepared to grind? What's that? You're playing another game already? And did the laundry, groceries, and trash in hopes of remembering again why you logged in and that the anxiety of restarting this process will (by now have gone away)? Well, that's normal. Please do return though. It's a fun game if you can manage to find a way to short-this process. Since we can't bring our house with us that's at least one step removed. We're getting there!!!

Does grinding really need to have a 30 minute pre-buff checklist?

I'm tired. I'll organized my discord instead.

Or write posts like this. 

Me before, during, an after grinding:

lol

Yeah. One of my big problem with BDO. All of this crap doesn't bring anything to the overall feeling of the game, just frustration. 
And it make me feel anxiety. You also can't get a rest, cause all of your buffs are going to go on a waste. 
And the funniest thing is when you have finish with your grind and you realize you forget something, like Agris or the Loot scrolls. ^^

After all this you still forgot furniture buffs, complete failure and total shame
