I started playing BDO in 2018 roughly around Lahn class release and I have loved every minute of my time in the BDO world. From exploring the lore, to the amazing QoL changes Pearl Abyss has continued to deliver, I am absolutely impressed with every moment spent in this game. 

Even though I could list major achievements like hitting level 65 on my beloved Warrior class main, nothing truly beats my BDO History-making Record of 5 PENs in 49 mins 100% documented via the following Twitch streaming clips (warning explicit language alert - sorry the excitement was intense)

5 PENs, 1 Hour - Ricktrr

The journey began with an intense 7 day a week grind in Hystria Ruins for 3 months straight and saving up 20 thousand cron stones via marketplace outfit purchases (thank you to all the adventurers that put pearl outfits on the market to make this possible!). Once I had that saved up - I used 100 valk's cry stack provided to me from the game through various events - and i made history.

This is my most memorable moment in BDO.

I would give you a like for this effort had you not purchased costumes to melt and encouraged and supported pay to win in video games.

aw, dont be like that.  the subject of "pay to win" is very subjective and the point is, i still grinded hundreds of hours and put in the work that most people wouldnt bother.  I doubt you know anyone that had the patience and self discipline to hold onto a little over 20k cron stones.  It was a real struggle and one that I have no regrets in striving for. 

Outfits dont just "sit on the market" there are upwards of 30-40 POs on just about every premium outfit in the game. sometimes POs sit for weeks.  

anyways, I dont think im going to be changing any minds, just understand that I achieved this goal through legitimate, in-game methods provided to all players.
