olun can stay as it is but they can add marni realm solo mode and make it % 3x more harder chance to obtain the piece and we still  wil grind there .Now i grind solo oluns  coz finding party take more time than actual grind . I stil manage to kil arm sometimes not always ,but can kil just 30 golems /h so i need

• Chance to obtain the ring piece from one golem kill = 0.0005% = 0.000005
• Number of golems killed per hour = 30

The probability of not obtaining the ring piece from one golem kill is 1 - 0.000005 = 0.999995.

Let X be the random variable representing the number of hours needed to obtain the ring piece. X follows a geometric distribution with probability of success p = 0.000005.

The expected value (average) of a geometric distribution is given by E(X) = 1 / p.

So, in this case: E(X) = 1 / 0.000005 = 200,000 hours.

I would like a doable solo place... or at least a rotation that doesn't cause crystal breaks upon death. I haven't tried Olun's yet, but I'm afraid to try cause I've watched many times that experienced players with much higher stats than me get whomped and lose good crystals.

I'd like to practice the whole flow of working in a group and get used to the golem attacks without risking billions and a lot of time. Then once I feel confident in my abilities, jump into a real golem rotation. The rotation without risk could have different (not as good) drops so that you don't just have people exploiting just that zone.

A solo place that does something similar would be great as well. I just don't want to be the one who accidentally gets a teammate killed cause I was new and didn't know what I was doing or what I was prepared for.

Every new, higher level zone I go to, I always apply a base, cheap set of crystals just to test the water, once I figure out the mob patterns... that's when I put on the most expensive stuff so I can do it effectively and efficiently.

I've been talking about this for years.  Party content in bdo is disgusting,  it is solo pve game.  I already got my ring, but I hope  devs will add Olun`s piece on a solo spot, they can even make chance more lower. But it  will be much better than waiting in the city for  hours and then got people with skill issue.

Merch ring should be acquirable via trading.  

Come on PA, put trading back into the game, or make it a chance to aquire when selling crates/fish/trade items to traders.

honestly, the whole oluns piece being locked behind a party spot makes me never want to go for the ring for that reason alone. i should be able to go out and grind somewhere for as long as i want or whenever i want without needing to rely on party members that don't exist, won't respond to invites, or no shows.

BDO a massive multiplayer online game.

Takes 5 minutes as Shai to get 2 party members on average group finder.  Use your 1 energy button to speed it up, type in alliance chat, use friends list.   Shai is taggable and PEN sol can create other FS for DUO slumbering armor attempts.   

Have your compass ready and all elixirs ready to speed the uptime of your group(s).  Let's be fair, oluns player is an Agris burner on average.  Be grateful if you can build your own static of new friends.

Understand shai pre pulling, calling out when to much dps exists after 3ish arm fails and use your horse to speed up the entire rotation.  If you have a Shai understand berserker prepulling, nuke, enjoy faster dps thanks to horse attacking.

Take responsibility (you) for: your group when a player disconnect occurs, prevent excess communication of elixir setup, scout for short rotation before start, big pvp cuz green buff hard swappers, understanding elixir refresh timing, or someone wants to be a min maxer.  Understand a min maxer(me, hi) is a minority and I will push players even if they are not deep sea perfume spamming or wearing 6 narc earrings. Average oluns group is gonna get 68-76 golems, not 104.

This topic contradicts players who wanted "group zones" but cannot appreciate taking a leadership role for your new friends you just haven't made yet.
