A player who used 16 accounts simultaneously in WoW Classic was banned. However, not for multiboxing, but because he accepted payment to annoy other players.
How did the player annoy the others? Tinyviolin69 played 16 WoW accounts simultaneously in what is called multiboxing. In multiboxing, a player controls multiple accounts at the same time and thus manages multiple characters. Classic multiboxing has been banned, but without special “broadcast software,” it is still allowed.
In the case of Tinyviolin69, it was an army of priests. Priests have the power to remove world buffs. These world buffs are important, especially in difficult raids like Naxxramas, to conquer them as quickly as possible.
Tinyviolin69 now used his 16 priests to remove world buffs from other WoW players with a dispel. This is annoying because it can be quite tedious to obtain those buffs. Although there is a way to store buffs with the overloaded chronoboon, not everyone activates the buffs directly in the raid.
WoW multiboxer loses his 16 accounts
Why were his accounts banned? In fact, removing world buffs is allowed; it is a standard game mechanic – just like multiboxing. However, Tinyviolin69 was removing the buffs for payment. A person offered him 3,000 bits (Twitch currency), which translates to about 32 euros. For this, he was supposed to remove the world buffs from certain players with his priest army while leaving him alone.
Unfortunately, he showed on Twitch how he carried out this task and loitered in Orgrimmar and places for world buffs to remove the buffs from other players. This annoyed the players a lot. He then received the 3,000 bits live on stream and thanked for it. In another video, he even follows the generous donor and comments on him in a promotional manner – without giving him a dispel (via Twitch).
After Tinyviolin69 was reported, Blizzard looked into the incident and apparently discovered that he was paid for this action.

What penalty followed for him? Blizzard banned his priest army last Sunday. In a video, it is even shown how he gets kicked from the game and the ban message appears (via Streamable). It is not certain whether the ban was related to this action, as Tinyviolin69 had been somewhat toxic in the game and insulted others. However, it seems logical, even though players in WoW Classic have already been banned for bad jokes.
How did the player respond to the ban? Tinyviolin69 reacted to a reddit post by the player tooxie11, who reported on the incident. Tinyviolin referred to tooxie11 as “Crybaby” and blamed him for the ban (via Twitch). He now wants to get in touch with Blizzard, as he considers the ban unjustified.
Why is this hard for the player? Tinyviolin69 had a subscription for all 16 accounts. A subscription costs up to 12.99 euros per month. With 16 accounts, the player had to pay roughly 210 euros per month – or earn game time through gold in World of Warcraft by converting WoW tokens into game time.
Tinyviolin69 has thus invested a lot of money or time into his WoW activities. Whether and when he will get his accounts back is unclear.
A court has ruled in favor of the Twitch streamer James “Phantoml0rd” Varga in a lawsuit. He had sued Twitch because they banned him in 2016. Now he has won, but Twitch seems unbothered by it. They dismiss the defeat as a “formal error” that has long been corrected.
What was the process about? Phantoml0rd became a major streamer on Twitch with Counter-Strike and LoL until his account was banned in 2016.
Twitch never officially stated the reasons for this ban, just as they generally do not comment on bans. However, from a countersuit by Twitch against Varga, it appears that it was related to Varga’s involvement with a betting site that violated Twitch’s guidelines. He allegedly manipulated jackpots to lure viewers away from Twitch.
Varga demanded 35 million dollars in damages from Twitch. A court had allowed him in 2019 to sue Twitch for a high amount. Originally, the amount was capped in a contract at 50,000 $.
This is how Twitch reacts: Twitch believes that the jury only convicted them due to a “formal error” related to the ban. They share this in a statement to PC Gamer (via PCGamer).
They regret this formal error. However, they see no reason to allow Phant0mlord back on the platform. They claim he “repeatedly violated Twitch’s guidelines and exposed the community to harmful content.”
In the meantime, they have implemented a better ban policy and clarified everything, thus fearing no further lawsuits.
However, nothing further will happen to Varga – Twitch’s countersuit was rejected.
What’s behind this: Some had hoped that after Varga’s victory, something would change in Twitch’s ban and transparency policy, especially in the case of “Dr Disrespect”. But that doesn’t seem to be the case now.
Twitch makes it clear that the trial will have no impact on them. They dismiss the defeat as a mere formal error that has long been smoothed over.
Interestingly, Twitch claims they have improved their ban process. However, the ban policy is still under criticism:
Both Intel and AMD have released new processors. But which processor performs the best? The YouTuber Linus Tech Tips conducted the test and built two systems with processors. The graphics card used is the GeForce RTX 3090.
The YouTuber Linus selected the two currently fastest gaming processors and wanted to find out which one is the fastest.
To do this, he built two gaming systems with a colleague. These rely only on absolute high-end components. Both systems feature a GeForce RTX 3090. In addition, the fastest processor (CPU) is used in each case:
For Intel, the Core i9 11900K is used
For AMD, the Ryzen 9 5950X is the processor used
Both processors are the current high-end model with overclocking potential and the fastest model available for the consumer market. Server processors are therefore not relevant.
At 549.99 Euros (Intel) and 849.00 Euros (AMD), the processors are quite expensive and rather uninteresting for most gamers (via Geizhals.de). The GeForce RTX 3090 is also likely to deter many gamers with its high price. The GeForce RTX 3080 should be sufficient for gamers who want to play in 4K resolution.
This is how he proceeded: In the video, they run several benchmarks across different games. These include F1 2020, GTA V, and CS:GO.
Who wins the duel? The duel between the two high-end processors is narrowly won by AMD’s Ryzen 9 5950X over Intel’s Core i9 11900K. There is a difference of 13 FPS between the processors.
Intel (99 % Percentile)
AMD (99 % Percentile)
110
123
What does Percentile mean? In the end, they compiled the results and calculated the percentile. A 99 % percentile means that 99 % of all measurements are faster than the stated values. Therefore, there is no value that is below this.
Here you can watch the video: In the English YouTube video, you can see the assembly of the test systems as well as the test of the processors:

Linus tests with his colleague which gaming CPU is the fastest. The two processors are not that far apart.
The AMD CPU currently costs double, but is still worth it for a high-end system
When comparing just the two processors, one might claim that the AMD CPU is a poor deal. This is because the price for the Ryzen processor is almost 300 Euros higher than that of the Intel processor (549.99 for Intel and 849 Euros for AMD)
Nonetheless, one must consider the overall package with all components, as processors alone do not function. Therefore, they must be viewed as part of the complete package with the motherboard, graphics card, and other components.
According to Linus, the AMD package combined with the RTX 3090 is the better choice if one does not shy away from the high costs.
However, if someone wants to spend around 3000 US Dollars on a GeForce RTX 3090, Linus explains that they should not hesitate to invest an additional 300 US Dollars in the faster processor.
What processor do normal gamers really need?
If you are an ordinary gamer who does not want high-end components because either you do not need the performance or simply do not have the money, you can already find powerful processors in the mid-range for your gaming system.
For the recommended processors in the mid-range, you will pay between 150 and 200 Euros and get plenty of performance and a modern architecture. You do not need to spend 500 Euros if you want to game.
The best mid-range CPU from Intel: Intel’s recommended processor in the mid-range is the Intel Core i5-10400F. Here you will pay between 139 and 150 Euros for the 6-core (12 threads) and get a powerful processor with PCI-Express 3.0 and a performance of 65 watts (via geizhals.de).
The best mid-range CPU from AMD: AMD’s best processor for gaming PCs is the AMD Ryzen 5 3600. With 6 cores (12 threads), sufficient performance for games and applications, and PCIe 4.0 support, this processor offers everything a gamer needs. Here, the performance is also at 65 watts. The price currently ranges between 150 and 190 Euros, making it reasonable if you need a processor (via geizhals.de).
Basically, with the Ryzen 5 5600, you already get the latest generation; however, you will currently pay significantly more, and the additional performance is between 5 and 10 % compared to the predecessor. The new generation is also somewhat more efficient.
On the PTR of World of Warcraft, additional legendary abilities have surfaced that you can expect with the upcoming Patch 9.1. Rogues, Paladins, and Shamans will receive their new Legendaries this time, and the selection for some other classes has been completed.
What are these Legendaries? For the upcoming Update 9.1 in World of Warcraft, all classes are expected to receive new Legendaries that enhance their respective Covenant abilities. Accordingly, each class receives four new abilities, one for each of the four possible Covenants.
Covenants are the major new feature of Shadowlands, and players receive two abilities when they join a Covenant: One ability for each Covenant member and one that only their respective class receives from the Covenant. You can find more information in our comprehensive overview of the Covenants of Shadowlands.
Nekrolords – ‘Deathspike’: Serrated bone spike now has two additional charges and hits two additional targets.
Venthyr – ‘Obedience’: Harrowing now also increases versatility by 1% per stack, and each combo point spent while Harrowing is active reduces the cooldown by 1 second.
Kyrian – ‘Resounding Clarity’: Resounding Rebuke now generates four combo points instead of one.
Night Fae – ‘Toxic Onslaught’: The ability you cast from Stealth through Sepsis grants you Shadow Blades, Adrenaline Rush, or Vendetta for 8 seconds.
New Legendaries for Paladins
Nekrolords – ‘Duty-Bound Gavel’: Hammer of the Conqueror now has two charges and enhances another use of your respective empowered ability.
Venthyr (missing so far)
Kyrian – ‘Divine Resonance’: Every 10 seconds after casting Divine Toll, you may cast the ability again for 60% effectiveness. Lasts 30 seconds.
Night Fae – ‘Seasons of Plenty’: When you cast Blessing of Summer or Blessing of Winter, you grant yourself and up to four nearby allied targets 5% haste and 10% cooldown reduction.
New Legendaries for Shamans
Nekrolords – ‘Splintered Elements’: Every additional use of Lightning Bolt/Lava Burst/Wave of Healing triggered by Primordial Wave increases your haste by 5% for 10 seconds.
Venthyr (missing so far)
Kyrian (missing so far)
Night Fae (missing so far)
New Legendaries for Druids
Kyrian – ‘Kindred Affinity’: You and your partner increase a secondary stat by 5% while you are bonded, depending on your partner’s Covenant:
Kyrian: Mastery
Night Fae: Critical Strike
Venthyr: Haste
Nekrolord: Versatility
While the bond is strong, the bonus is doubled.
New Legendaries for Warriors
Venthyr – ‘Sinful Surge’ (revised): Condemn increases the duration of Last Stand by 3 seconds (Protection) and of Recklessness by 2 seconds (Fury) and of Colossal Smash by 1.5 seconds (Arms).
New Legendaries Could Be Worth It
How good are the new Legendaries? In many cases, the new Legendaries are likely too weak to replace the currently best Legendaries for each class. In the case of Night Fae Rogues, for example, the ability would even be a damage loss according to experts (via wowhead).
On the other hand, the Venthyr Legendary is extremely strong for all Rogue specializations, as you can frequently benefit from 30% additional versatility and haste. For Assassination and Subtlety Rogues, Venthyr is even the strongest Covenant. The Nekrolord Legendary is also said to be quite strong, as YouTuber InfexiousGaming demonstrates in the video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsnMTduV1g8
Also, the Kyrian Legendary of Paladins is incredibly strong according to experts (via wowhead). It is believed that a nerf is forthcoming. Generally, it is likely that many abilities will still be adjusted, which makes specific statements difficult at the moment. For many classes, it also depends on where you intend to use the item.
The Nekrolord Legendary of Shamans can be quite strong depending on the situation. More specifically, it is effective whenever there are four targets present that can generate the full buff of 20% haste and only when those targets are there for every use of Primordial Wave. In most other cases, the current Legendaries are stronger.
What does Patch 9.1 bring? Along with new gameplay content, a new raid, a dungeon, and a new area, the story of Shadowlands continues. Among other things, you will experience a fight against Sylvanas and possibly find out what happens to Anduin.
In May, the next Pokémon from Generation 6 will appear in Pokémon GO. Joining them is Xerneas, an interesting Fairy attacker. Additionally, 4 more Pokémon will be released that have the types Fairy or Dragon. However, one of them will only be available if the entire community plays actively enough.
When will the Pokémon be available in the game? From May 4 at 10:00 AM until May 17 at 8:00 PM (local time), the “Illuminating Legends X” event will take place. During this period, you will not only receive special bonuses but can also find new Pokémon from the Kalos region for the first time.
Which Pokémon are available and how can you get them? The highlight is Xerneas. This legendary Pokémon appears in Tier 5 Raid battles. It is among the strongest monsters currently missing from Gen 6 and could prove really useful. After all, there are currently very few strong Fairy attackers.
Parfi and Flauschling appear in the wild, and you will need a lot of luck to find them. They can also be found in 7-km eggs. Viscora, on the other hand, is only found in the wild and is rarer than the other two new Pokémon.
How do you unlock the fifth new Pokémon? If players manage to catch 500 million Fairy-type Pokémon together in the first half of the event – from May 4 at 10:00 AM until May 11 at 8:00 PM – special bonuses will be unlocked for the second half of the event:
Pam-Pam will appear in Raid battles for the remaining duration of the event, making its debut in Pokémon GO
You will receive three times the XP for catching
With luck, you might encounter a Shiny Galar-Ponita
So you should keep busy during the event and catch as many Fairy types as possible to unlock Pam-Pam.

The module specifically attracts monsters that like rain, including Water, Bug, and Electric Pokémon. Additionally, the module allows Viscora to evolve into Viscargot even when it’s not raining outside.
What else is happening during the event?
There will be exclusive Timed Research tasks where you can earn Fairy Pokémon and Rain Modules
Pii, Fluffeluff, Azurill, Kaumalat, Flauschling and Parfi will hatch from 7-km eggs
Psychic, Dragon, and Fairy Pokémon like Galar-Ponita, Alola-Kokowei, and Xerneas will appear in Raid battles.
You can encounter Galar-Ponita during the event by completing AR mapping tasks
There are special moves for 2 Pokémon:
If you evolve Dragonir or use a Charged TM on Dragoran, it can learn Draco Meteor
If you evolve Draschel or use a Charged TM on Brutalanda, it can learn Outrage
What else is happening in May? Following the current event, the Illuminating Legends Y event will take place. During this event, Yveltal, another legendary Pokémon, will be introduced. By the end of this event, Pam-Pam will also be introduced.
Today, on Tuesday, April 27, the Fortnite servers will go down on all platforms (PC/Mac, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Android). During this time, the new update 16.30 will be applied. What does the new patch contain?
What is happening today in Fortnite? The update 16.30 was announced by Fortnite Status on Twitter and is supposed to be applied today. The patch brings some changes to the game.
Update 1:00 PM: The update 16.30 is now here. We will show you in our German patch notes what has changed in the game.
Before players can start searching for all the new features, the Fortnite servers will first be taken down for a while.
Fortnite servers are going down – when and for how long?
Downtime starts in the morning: The downtime for update 16.30 starts today again at 10:00 AM German time. At 9:30 AM you can join a new round for the last time, after that the servers will be taken down and Fortnite will be down for a certain time.
How long will the maintenance work take? Based on the experiences of the last weeks and months, the work should be completed by noon at the latest.
However, technical problems or other delays could cause an extension of the maintenance work. If that is the case, you will hear it here on MeinMMO from us.
Before players can explore the Season 6 map again, the servers will first be taken down
When will the patch notes come? Based on the experience of the last updates in the new chapter of Fortnite, there will likely be no or only superficial patch notes released for the Battle Royale mode.
However, if major, important changes are made, we will collect them for you and create a form of German patch notes. We will then publish these patch notes here on MeinMMO for you.
What new content does update 16.30 bring?
What new features will there be in the Battle Royale mode? Fortnite Status presented some innovations and changes in the announcement of the update on Twitter. This is what you can expect after the downtime:
With a glitch, players could survive infinitely in the storm
Fortnite does not appear to bring many changes with update 16.30, but there are a few things you can experiment with like the new bow. There will likely also be a few bugs fixed. It will be exciting to see if Epic fixes the glitch that allowed players to survive infinitely in the storm and gain unfair victories.

Last weekend, the Friendship Day event took place in Pokémon GO. However, it was received with mixed feelings by trainers. Many are expressing on social media that the event was poorly executed.
This is the mood: After the Friendship event on Saturday, there are some negative voices in the Pokémon GO community. Trainers are wondering why the event was only active for such a short time and why the developers passed on obvious bonuses.
For future events of this kind, trainers have clear wishes directed at the team behind Pokémon GO.
Why is the Friendship event receiving controversial reviews?
This was the event: On Saturday, April 24, the so-called “Friendship Day” in Pokémon GO took place. Trainers are already familiar with such special days on weekends from the Community Days, which occur once a month on a weekend day.
The focus of the Friendship Day was on Pokémon like Tangela, Shroomish, and Chikorita
This is the criticism: We surveyed the community on our Pokémon GO Facebook page and asked how the event went for you. As of now (April 26 at 5:00 PM),
204 people voted that it was a good event
203 people voted that it was a bad event
Negative feedback was primarily due to the event’s duration. The timing around lunchtime didn’t suit trainers because they had to work. Additionally, 3 hours felt too short. Tobias O. commented (via Facebook): “Unfortunately, the time window was very small. Since I had more important things to take care of at that time, I couldn’t utilize the ‘Day’. I would have appreciated if it had at least been a 9 AM – 6 PM event.”
Often, there is a comparison with the Community Day, which used to be a 3-hour event but has been active for 6 hours for several months now. Trainers would have liked a 6-hour duration for the Friendship Day as well. Ilona C (via Facebook) wrote: “Way too short! For those who have to work, it’s not feasible, really frustrating, otherwise such events last longer!”
Further criticism of the event included missing bonuses such as an increased limit on special trades. During the event, there were bonuses that improved trading with friends, but trainers were still only allowed one special trade per day. Martin W. commented (via Facebook): “Unfortunately, only one special trade was allowed. I would have wished for at least 3! Trading didn’t really make much sense since I do it every day anyway.”
This is what trainers praise: During the event, trainers had the chance to earn up to 350,000 XP in one go. Since many trainers are still in the leveling process from 41 to 50, this boost in experience points was very timely.
Moreover, the collector task associated with the XP bonus was relatively easy to complete, provided one had enough time. Hella K. commented (via Facebook): “Everything went smoothly for me and I was able to farm 2 million XP. Please do such a great event again anytime!”
In the future, trainers wish for weekend events to last as long as a Community Day so that players with limited time can at least take part in some of the bonuses.
How did you like the Friendship Day in Pokémon GO? Do you share the trainers’ criticism, or do you think the event was a success? Feel free to share your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and interact with other players.
After the launch of Season 3 in Call of Duty: Warzone, players are noticing crazy bugs. Among them is this disgusting alien bug that covers your M16 with a living organism. It seems to be an unreleased Mastercraft skin.
What happened? On reddit, players are eagerly sharing their impressions of the recently launched Season 3 in Call of Duty: Warzone. Among them are glitches and bugs that have accidentally sneaked into the game. One of these bugs gives your weapons a different look.
The weapon bug we’re showing you here is probably a dream come true for all alien fans.
M16 transforms into a nasty alien
This is what the bug looks like: reddit user CraftZ49 reported that his “Western Front” blueprint for the M16 transformed into a monster. He couldn’t initially find the skin at the gunsmith.
He also released a 14-second video showing the weapon in action. While inspecting, the player pokes at the wobbly, yellow-green organism with his finger. The alien grips the weapon with something like fingers. When the player tries to detach the alien’s “fingers”, it resists and grips tightly again, making squeaky sounds.
You can see the disgusting action in the embedded video:

Apparently, this skin is some sort of alien-like thing. In this form, the M16 fires green tracer rounds.
What are Mastercraft skins? These skins are already known from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. They are cosmetic items that make your weapons shine in a completely different look. However, keep in mind that the Mastercraft skins only affect the appearance of the weapons. The tactical unicorn in Black Ops 4 is one of the craziest Mastercraft skins.
How is this received by players?
This is what players say: The video is receiving mixed feelings on reddit. On one hand, there is a lot of praise for the creative idea of highlighting a weapon in a special way. On the other hand, some players do not like it at all.
“It looks disgusting, but in a good way,” writes user thebombwillexplode1 (via reddit)
“Thanks, I hate it,” writes HyperXuserXD (via reddit)
“I prefer the mil-sim stuff more, but damn, it’s getting boring, this is cool, but they shouldn’t go overboard with it,” writes _9meta (via reddit)
“So are we playing Fortnite now,” writes Galifrae (via reddit)
User Hatch10k writes what he misses about the new skins in Call of Duty: “This is really creative and well done, but I have to admit I will miss the mil-sim theme of Warzone as we inevitably drift further away from it. I still expect that we will get an alien/monster operator at some point” (via reddit)
What do you think of this new skin? Do you think it’s cool to see such elaborate skins on weapons that are far from a military simulation, or should the skins follow a strict, realistic theme?
Riot Games has now introduced what they will do in League of Legends against players who intentionally annoy others with their behavior or who contribute to disrupting the gameplay in LoL by simply leaving matches. The maximum penalties for “AFK” and “Queue Dodge” will be significantly stricter.
What are the worst actions in LoL? Usually, the algorithm regulates most bans in LoL automatically. However, Riot Games has now introduced a number of particularly nasty violations that algorithms do not easily detect.
In “normal feeding,” players simply die extremely often, putting their own team at a disadvantage. This happens, for example, when players are not allowed to play the champion they want in the draft, or when they get upset about a teammate in some other way: Target feeding then serves as a form of “revenge.” However, there are also ways to sabotage your own team without bluntly diving into the opponents.
The videos show how malicious and completely hollow players proceed to knowingly sabotage their own teammates.
In the example, Syndra sabotages her own jungler: She waits until the Red Buff is almost dead, steals the mob, and then tosses it to safety.

Those who report correctly will be heard more in LoL now
This is what Riot wants to change: It has already been possible to report players for “feeding,” i.e., to notify Riot Games.
Riot now wants to give more weight to reports from “good players.” The system is called “Reporting Confidence”: Those who report other players strategically and act correctly should have their reports given more weight.
Those who bluntly report other players in every match will have their reports given less consideration.
With this new weighting, they want to catch players who troll, but do so a bit more skillfully than just by feeding.
Through these measures, LoL wants to ensure that the more skillful, indirect trolls are also caught and punished.
2 weeks of suspension for players who go AFK too often
This is what Riot does additionally: They want to primarily curb “Queue Dodging” in LoL.
This is frustrating because 9 people have to start new matches each time, and everything gets delayed just because one person leaves before the game even starts.
Now, they want to punish people who engage in “Queue Dodging” three times within 24 hours particularly harshly: They will receive a 12-hour lockout. They will not be able to sign up for any matches during that time. Previously, players received only a “30 minutes” lockout for their second dodge.
They also take a harsh stance against AFK players:
So far, penalties of 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 15 minutes applied for going AFK and “Repeated AFK” actions.
Here, they are increasing the penalties to 5 minutes (Tier 1), 30 minutes (Tier 2), and a full 14 days (Tier 3).
Players enter “Tier 3” with repeated AFK-going, which decreases tier level slowly if they finish games properly.
LoL has a certain reputation as a “toxic game” – this reputation is also represented by LoL’s most successful Twitch streamer, Tyler1:
Some Vikings have figured out how to completely hide the entrance to your home in Valheim . You won’t need a door anymore, and hardly anyone will know how to access your most important items.
This is the trick: With a chair and a stone wall, players have tricked the game mechanics of Valheim and created secret bases. This works due to a glitch involving interaction and overlay between building objects and the player’s character, known as a “clipping glitch”
How do I build a secret hideout? Building it is quite easy, however, you will need both a workbench and a stonecutter. The materials are fairly straightforward:
build a 4×2 stone wall directly next to where your entrance should be
place two chairs facing opposite directions
it is important to rotate the chairs correctly: one facing the entrance, one facing the exit
attach a second 4×2 stone wall to the first. It will now overlay the chairs
tear down the first wall if you don’t want to keep it
With a little finesse, you can also place the wall directly on the chairs. However, it’s easier with the snap feature of the building tool.
If the chairs are in the right position, you can use them up close, even if the wall is right in front of your face. You will “clip” into the wall and can move in or out of the hideout by moving forward. In the video, you can see what that looks like:

If you want to use such a secret hideout, you should hurry. The developers are working on fixing bugs, and this clipping could well be seen as a bug. In a previous patch, landscaping became much more expensive through a bug fix.
Secret base and hidden items in Valheim
What good does a hideout do me? If you are playing alone on your own server, such a hideout has little pragmatic use. Enemies will still attack your base. However, if you live underground, it will be harder for them to reach you. In our guide, we explain how to build your own living cave.
On servers with multiple players, you can completely hide your base or simply a loot room. A single stone wall or even a small structure is quite inconspicuous, and you can simply hide a chair in the wall of your castle to create a secret passage downwards.
This can still be hidden: With the trick, you can also make items completely disappear. If you build a post and place an object stand on it, you can store an item there and then hide it in the wall. If you don’t want your friends to take your favorite sword, this is the ideal hiding place.
It is also possible to clip through walls created by the game with a chair. According to some players, this allows you to access the crypts in the swamp without ever having obtained a Swamp Key .
However, during our test, we ended up getting stuck inside the crypt and could neither get in nor out. We had to free ourselves with admin commands from the prison. If you want to try it yourself, you should practice on your server first.
Without (much) cheating, but with the most advanced Viking technology, you can easily catch fish in Valheim by building a fish trap. You need the fish for snacks that are particularly useful in the endgame:
In Summer 2021, the western version of the MMORPG Swords of Legends Online is set to be released. As part of Find Your Next Game, we spoke with the developers at the publisher Gameforge and got an insight into the mid and endgame of the game.
Genre:MMORPG | Developer: Wangyuan Shengtang Entertainment | Publisher: Gameforge | Platform: PC | Release: Summer 2021 | Payment Model: Buy2Play
What kind of game is this? Swords of Legends Online is a theme park MMORPG that was released in China in 2019. It focuses on:
A traditionally Chinese story and corresponding quests
The MMORPG will be Buy2Play (ranging from 40 to 100 Euros depending on the package), so you have to pay once for access. Additionally, it is funded by a purely cosmetic shop.
This is what you can expect when leveling towards the endgame
How does leveling work? In Swords of Legends Online, at the start, you can choose from one of 6 classes. With this, you play a tutorial that runs identically for everyone and where you will also meet other players. In it, you will primarily encounter story-driven quests.
In the early levels, you will become familiar with the world and will be deeply engaged in dialogues. The later quests will then focus more on fighting.
Once you reach about level 15 and the flying city “Cloudway”, you will unlock the class areas that offer new quests and skills. However, these areas are more like a hub. A large part of your playtime will be spent with other players in the general play areas.
What are class areas? These areas differ depending on the class and offer various quests and mini-games. For example, for the Deathbringer, it is a kind of “Simon Says”, a children’s game where you must proceed cautiously, as is typical for an assassin.
In addition to the mini-games and quests, you will also learn new skills in this area that you can directly try out in a kind of tutorial. Accordingly, there is an info window that explains the skill and resource consumption in detail.
Also striking about the class areas is the aesthetics. For the Deathbringer, everything is in dark and purple tones, which fits well with the assassin and the class in general. This makes the areas very cohesive.
The Deathbringer is a rather dark class, and accordingly, its area looks fitting.
What is the max level in SOLO? Swords of Legends has a somewhat unusual level structure. You start at level “Student 1” and level up to “Student 36”. Afterwards, there is a quest that allows you to ascend to “Student 1”. This is also the maximum level in the game to start with.
In China, this continues further. There, you can reach “Student 36” and then ascend to a new rank. This rank currently has no description in our region but will likely go in the direction of “Teacher or Master 1”.
The new max level was introduced there as part of an expansion that also brought new classes.
Diverse endgame content for all player types
What does Swords of Legends offer in the endgame? Those who have brought their character to Student 1 can fully immerse themselves in the endgame of SOLO. There, you can expect:
Dungeons and raids
World bosses and the “Underworld”
Daily quests and missions
Instanced PvP battles, including small arenas like 3v3 but also larger battles
Achievements
Fashion endgame in the form of special skins, mounts, or housing content
Although the content sounds like the usual activities in an MMORPG, Swords of Legends does some things differently, especially with the dungeons and world bosses. Here, the focus is mainly on flexibility.
Flexible dungeons and raids
How do dungeons and raids work? Each dungeon can be completed by a group of 5 players. However, you can also team up with a larger group.
The dungeons dynamically scale for up to 10 players. The more players involved, the more health points and other bonuses the enemies in the dungeon receive. You are flexible in the composition of the group without making the dungeon simpler or harder overall.
The same mechanics apply to raids. Here, between 10 and 20 players can participate.
Dungeons can be entered with 5 to 10 players.
What about rewards? For defeating bosses, there are always personal and general rewards:
The personal loot is not affected by the group size and remains the same size, regardless of how many players are in the group
The group loot, however, is divided among the existing players. It is unclear at this time whether this also means less loot for the individual player
These are the world bosses and the “Underworld”
How do world bosses work in SOLO? In the endgame areas, there are several types of bosses. Some can be defeated alone, while others are meant for groups of players.
To defeat a world boss, you need the life skill “Bounty Hunting”. With this, you learn a special ability that you can use to interact when you reach a boss. When you use the skill, you will be teleported to a special version of the map. There, players will fight together against the boss without disturbing players in the open world.
Moreover, world bosses are not directly bound to timers. They can be challenged and defeated at any time.
World bosses can drop loot multiple times or only once a week, depending on difficulty. The exact reset times are provided in-game for each boss. However, they can still be fought multiple times.
In the preview, the developers from Gameforge showed me a fight with a giant scorpion that was impossible to defeat alone. Despite being at max level and almost 3 minutes of combat, only about 1% of the boss’s health was depleted.
One of the monsters you will encounter in Swords of Legends.
What is the “Underworld”? The Underworld is also associated with one of the life skills. In certain areas, you can use a skill that allows you to jump into another version of the map. This version has been corrupted by the “Evil Qi”.
There, you will encounter different opponents and tasks.
PvP with various battlegrounds
What do we know about PvP? PvP in Swords of Legends will not take place in the open world. Those who want to compete with other players will go into specific battlegrounds. In China, there are various sizes, including 3v3, 5v5, and 15v15.
However, what specific content we will receive at launch will be revealed in the future.
Swords of Legends will offer various PvP content.
Scaling in the open world and auto-run
Does the open world scale like in ESO or GW2? No, in Swords of Legends, there are initially 9 areas that are bound to specific levels. However, the “power spike” is not so large that you can wipe everything in an area just below your level in one hit.
However, if you wear endgame equipment, you can smoothly cut through the low-level areas.
Is there auto-pathing? Yes and no. On each map, there were “clouds” that you can unlock. They work similarly to griffons in WoW. Once you unlock a cloud, you can click on it on the map, and your character will automatically run towards the cloud.
Automatic running to quest objectives or even automatic fighting does not exist in Swords of Legends.
You are a chosen one who must keep the evil under control
What is Swords of Legends actually about? 30 years ago, there was a great battle in which the evil “Eternal Army” fought against the good. In this battle at the Qin Mausoleum, the good won, but the heroes of the legendary swords perished.
The souls of the swords still exist today, and as a player, you are a chosen one from one of these souls. Your task is to protect the seal that keeps the evil Qi under control.
What classes are there at launch? With the release of Swords of Legends Online, we will get 6 classes in the West, each offering 2 specializations that have already been introduced in detail:
Deathbringer – An assassin with scythes who, in the second path, can also be a healer
Berserker – A classic melee fighter who can deal damage or tank
Sword Mage – A DPS class that attacks with swords in both melee and ranged combat
Bard – A class with a string instrument that can deal damage or heal
Summoner – A damage dealer in ranged combat who can also heal in the second path
Spear Master – A melee fighter who can act as a damage dealer or tank
Anyone looking to get an overview of starting Swords of Legends and the Deathbringer class can find here a 30-minute gameplay video of the Taiwanese version of the game recorded by me:

At first glance, Swords of Legends makes a really good impression regarding endgame content. There are various activities for different player types, and the focus is clearly on flexibility. This is evident in dynamic player counts in dungeons and raids and in world bosses without timers. Nothing is more frustrating than narrowly missing a boss fight and having to wait like in Black Desert for 24 hours until the next fight.
However, many details are still missing to discuss long-term motivation in detail. We still don’t know anything about the exact numbers and difficulties of the dungeons and raids. If these are too easy or too repetitive, it could lead to a lack of tasks in the long run. Also, regarding PvP content and item grind, currently too little is known.
The most positive aspect for me in the conversation with Gameforge was the expansion in China. This shows that the MMORPG has continued to be developed after release and that there is still plenty of content that can be brought to Europe over time. This has been a shortcoming of many Asian MMORPGs in recent years. Because when they arrive in our region, they often have already failed in their home country.

MMORPG expert at MeinMMO
We at MeinMMO will continue to accompany Swords of Legends Online in the coming weeks and months and will report on the tests and content of the game.
The Devastator is not exactly the most popular class in the endgame of Outriders and is considered inferior to others in terms of damage. MeinMMO shows you a build that proves how powerful the Devastator can be and what you need for it.
What’s the problem with the Devastator? The class is somewhat like the tank of Outriders and can absorb a lot of damage. However, compared to other classes like the Assassin or Technomancer, it deals less damage in the endgame.
This makes it unpopular for many players, especially in Expeditions. Because there, the goal is to complete the Expeditions as quickly as possible to get the best loot. It even goes so far that Devastators are often kicked out of groups.
But with the right setup, the problem can be solved. YouTuber LaserBolt has now presented a build with which Devastators can deal a lot of damage in Expeditions. We will show you what you need to build this build and how to play it.
Using shield abilities increases your Anomaly Power by 45%
Constant Movement
Reduces the cooldown of kinetic abilities by 15%
Sledgehammer
Double the damage of melee attacks
Executioner
Increases damage against enemies with less than 30% health by 20%
Bloodbath (x2)
Bleeding deals 30% more damage to enemies.
Blood Donation
25% of bleeding damage is returned to you as healing.
Rejuvenation
Increases your lifesteal from abilities by 6%
Protected by Anomaly
Increases your armor value by 40% of your Anomaly Power
Capable Guardian
Increases armor and resistance by 20% for 10 seconds once abilities end
Pure Anomaly
Increases resistance penetration by 15%
Earth’s Legacy
Increases the damage of seismic abilities by 50%
The Skills of the Devastator Build
Earthquake: Creates a shockwave that deals damage and interrupts enemies in their actions.
Golem: An armor that blocks 65% of incoming damage for 8 seconds.
Gravitational Leap: You can float in the air and then dive down onto your enemies. Upon impact, you deal massive damage and interrupt enemies.
Weapons, Armor, Mods
These are the weapons used by the YouTuber: The main weapon of the build is the legendary shotgun “Deathshield,” which is currently one of the best weapons in the game. It comes with the mod “Fortress,” which provides up to 43% bonus damage based on your armor.
Additionally, he uses the mod “Wailing Winds,” which you get from the legendary shotgun “The Anemoi.” With this, you deal massive damage to your enemies when reloading. To maximize this, he has both weapons with the same mods.
So you have “Fortress” and “Wailing Winds” as rank-3 mods on your primary and secondary weapons.
How to get the mods? Here lies the difficulty with the build. Basically, you have to find both legendary weapons twice. Once to dismantle and thus unlock the modification for crafting. And then again to be able to use the weapons.
These are the optimal armor pieces: Here, LaserBolt also uses legendary equipment pieces, but the build also works with epic items. It is also not necessarily necessary to focus so heavily on the bleeding effect. The build also gives you some room for customization, LaserBolt has opted for bleeding damage.
Seismic Commander Helmet
Untamed Power: Using skills deals damage to enemies within 5 meters. The damage equals 30% of your Anomaly Power.
Blood Shock: Earthquake causes a bleeding effect on enemies.
Seismic Commander’s Armor
Second Quake: Earthquake can be activated one more time before the cooldown kicks in.
Earth’s Legacy: Increases the range of the skill by 60%
Seismic Commander’s Leg Armor
Tainted Blood: Increases damage against bleeding enemies by 25%
Extra Quake: Earthquake can be activated one more time before the cooldown kicks in.
Epic Gloves
Ground Crush: Increases the base damage for Earthquake.
Captain Hunter: Increases damage against elite enemies by 25%.
Epic Boots
Double Jump: The Gravitational Leap can be used one more time before the cooldown activates.
Bloody Boost: Increases your damage against bleeding enemies.
The optimal attributes for this build are Anomaly Power, cooldown reduction, and lifesteal from abilities.
This is how it is played: The principle here is that you build up strong buffs through your skills, which you then utilize with your weapons. “Wailing Winds” is the key mod here, and the order of your attacks is also important.
Proceed as follows:
Fire with each weapon once.
Then use the Gravitational Leap.
Execute a melee attack.
Then three Earthquakes.
Next, activate the Golem skill.
Now you are buffed and can reload each of your weapons once.
The damage waves activated by the mod “Wailing Winds” are quite powerful anyway and even stronger with the additional buffs.
This way, you can deal significant damage to enemies in the area. However, since you have to repeat this process constantly, it is not necessarily the most exciting gameplay. The damage potential is very high.
How the build is played, you can see here in this video from LaserBolt:

It is of course not excluded that there could be even more powerful builds. Outriders offers numerous combination and optimization possibilities, leading to constantly new and better builds.
The build shown above at least manages to eliminate the damage deficit of the Devastator, even if the gameplay is not for everyone.
What do you think about the build? Do you know better variants or even completely different setups? Let us know in the comments.

So far, there are no gaming monitors with HDMI 2.1. However, that may change starting May 2021. The first device with HDMI 2.1 is expected to be officially available then. This is exciting for owners of a PS5, Xbox Series X, or a new graphics card. MeinMMO presents what you need to know about the monitor.
Some new gaming devices already support the current state of technology with HDMI 2.1:
PS5 and Xbox Series X|S support HDMI 2.1.
Nvidia’s RTX 3000 series and AMD’s RX 6000 series also officially support HDMI 2.1.
PC gamers looking for a gaming monitor that supports HDMI 2.1 are currently out of luck. This is mainly because there are still no monitors available for purchase with the technology.
Some manufacturers have already announced monitors with HDMI 2.1. For instance, ASUS and ViewSonic presented gaming monitors at the CES 2021. However, prices or a release date were not mentioned.
When will the first gaming monitor with HDMI 2.1 be released? But now there is movement from a manufacturer. According to TechpowerUp, the 43-inch gaming monitor from ASUS (ROG Strix XG43UQ) is expected to be available starting May 2021 (via TechpowerUp.com). This would officially be the first gaming monitor in this format that you can purchase with HDMI 2.1.
ASUS describes the gaming monitor in its product overview as “the world’s first HDMI 2.1 gaming monitor with 43 inches” (via rog.asus.com)
How much will the gaming monitor cost? You can already pre-order the monitor from some retailers. The British retailer Overclockers has the device available for pre-order at 1349 British pounds (via overclockers.co.uk). This is equivalent to about 1,551.52 euros. The very similar ROG Swift PG43UQ cost nearly the same at release with 1500 euros.
The new gaming monitor from ASUS is a high-end device for 1600 euros
What does the gaming monitor offer? ASUS equips its ROG Strix XG43UQ with a 43-inch VA panel and a UHD resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels). The device offers a refresh rate of 144 Hertz. In 4K, thanks to HDMI 2.1, 120 Hz is also easily possible. This is especially interesting for gamers who want to connect their PS5 or Xbox Series X to the monitor.
In addition to two HDMI 2.1 ports, the gaming monitor also has two HDMI 2.0 ports and DisplayPort 1.4. You won’t find that on televisions, and it’s particularly interesting for gamers. The differences between HDMI and DisplayPort are explained in detail in this article.
Furthermore, the device is said to offer very good brightness. This is particularly interesting if you want to game in a very dark room.
With FreeSync Premium Pro, there is also a synchronization technology included that can prevent tearing during gaming. ELMB is also said to prevent blurring when you move quickly in a shooter and would otherwise encounter blurriness.
The gaming monitor from ASUS requires a lot of space on the desk.
How good is the predecessor model? ASUS previously offered a similar high-end model with the ROG Swift PG43UQ. However, the old large-format gaming monitor did not offer HDMI 2.1 or such high brightness.
The online magazine Prad describes the predecessor as a recommendable model for enthusiasts looking for a large gaming monitor with many features. The magazine Prad also considers the price of 1500 euros to be reasonable (via Prad.de).
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
For whom is the purchase worthwhile? About 1500 euros is a lot of money for a gaming monitor. Those who do not already have powerful gaming hardware in the form of a next-gen console or a fast graphics card like the GeForce RTX 3080 will likely not be able to fully exploit the potential of the gaming monitor.
In that case, Full HD or WQHD monitors with higher resolutions might be more worthwhile than a 4K monitor. With a price of around 1500 euros, the monitor appeals to enthusiasts who have space and already have performance.
For this price, you can currently also get a good OLED TV such as the popular and highly recommended LG TV LG OLED55CX9LA. This is available for about 1300 euros.

Recommended gaming monitors for the Xbox Series X|S and the PS5 that are also worthwhile for PC gaming will be presented in our buying guide:
Why gamers should prefer a gaming monitor over a television
What should you consider? The most important argument for the gaming monitor is certainly the response time and input lag, as these are very low here.
Televisions often have a slightly slower response time, mainly due to the OLED technology used. LCD displays provide faster response times. Those who play competitively and need quick reactions cannot do without a monitor.
Gaming monitors also often provide significantly more connections. While HDMI connections dominate on televisions, you get HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C on a well-equipped monitor.
However, televisions often offer higher resolutions and lower prices. Some televisions already support HDMI 2.1. This is particularly important if you consider purchasing a new television for your PS5 or Xbox Series X|S.
The best TVs for Xbox Series X and PS5 are presented in detail in our buying guide. In this article, we also explain what you should consider when using a 4K television for gaming.

If you also have a high cooking skill, you can further process the byproducts and earn up to 60 million Silver.
With your own farm, you can earn a lot of money in Black Desert.
Grinding
What is Grinding? Grinding is basically about killing enemies as quickly and effectively as possible and using their loot to earn Silver. This method is very repetitive, but also lucrative, at least when grinding at the right “spots”.
How to earn money? You earn primarily through 4 aspects:
Silver received directly from mobs
Trash loot that goes to the merchant
General loot such as Black Stones, which you sell in the marketplace
Special equipment items, which you sell in the marketplace
The general loot and special equipment items often make up a large part of the profits. However, since these drop randomly, the statements on earned Silver per hour fluctuate. However, there are sometimes reviews where people have farmed over weeks and then calculated the average.
Grinding can also be a leisure activity, as I have found out myself in the last few months:
Where can you earn a lot of money? This is often heavily debated in the community. For players with low and mid-range gear, the following are recommended:
Polly’s Forest – 160 to 170 AP and yields about 70 to 90 million Silver per hour
Blood Wolf Settlement – 190+ AP and yields about 100 million Silver per hour
Forest Ronaros – 220+ AP and yields about 100 to 120 million Silver per hour
Manshaum Forest – 220+ AP and yields about 120 million Silver per hour
Blood Wolf Settlement and Forest Ronaros are particularly interesting because here items for the Infinite Potions can be found.
In the endgame, Starfall (260+ AP) and Sycraia Underwater Ruins (270+ AP) are particularly appealing. Here you can make between 200 and 300 million Silver, depending on the drop luck of special items. However, you will also encounter many other players who may want to duel over grind spots.
Dark Rifts
What is it? Dark Rifts are little bosses that only appear for you. They pop up all over the world and can only be seen by you. When you reach the corresponding location on the map, you can fight this boss.
How much money can you earn? Depending on your gear and the related difficulty of the bosses, it is possible to earn between 10 and alleged up to 200 million Silver per hour. It is particularly important whether you can defeat the “very difficult” bosses alone and how long it takes you.
However, it is useful that bosses do not immediately regenerate health points. You can resurrect at the spot with potions after dying and continue to hit the boss.
By clicking the arrow next to the boss’s name, you’ll automatically run to the Rift and can defeat the boss.
Scrolls
What is it? In Black Desert, there are 3 types of scrolls that you can farm yourself or buy in the marketplace:
Relic Crystal Shards of the Ancients
Forbidden Book
Scroll in the Ancient Language
You need 5 of each item and then need to sort them in your inventory according to the description. Make sure to remove the checkmark from “Automatically sort inventory”.
Once you activate this item, you need to walk to a specific location. There you will then fight against a boss. Depending on the scroll and your own gear, it is advisable to complete the quests together with other players. However, at least the crystal shards and the forbidden book can be done alone with medium gear (170 AP).
How much money can you earn? This varies greatly. Depending on which scrolls you use, whether you farmed them yourself and how many players you are with. Thus, about 15 to 70 million Silver per hour is possible.
Unlike grinding, you are out here with other players and need to pay a bit of attention to the mechanics during boss fights.
What is it? The absolute classic for earning Gold in Black Desert is fishing without actively playing.
What do you need for it? Basically just a fishing rod and time. However, it only becomes really lucrative when you have a rod with high stamina and ideally the appropriate level in fishing, as well as equipment more suited for anglers.
How much can you earn? Depending on how high your fishing level is, you can earn between 5 to 30 million Silver in 8 hours – roughly in one night. The great thing about this method is that you can be completely AFK. Your character will catch fish all by itself. However, make sure you have enough inventory space.
One of the best places to fish is the beach in Velia. Here you will also meet many AFK fishers at night.
Fishing is one of the classic activities in Black Desert.

In the MMORPG Black Desert, the currency Silver plays an important role. You need it to buy items from merchants or in the marketplace and to repair your equipment. We from MeinMMO will show you how to get Silver best in 2021.
What is this guide about? We want to introduce you to various methods with which you can quickly and effectively farm Silver in Black Desert. We try to give you a variety of activities and at the same time provide an estimate of how much Silver you can earn per hour.
Where do the farming methods and numbers come from? The farming methods have been tested by us as best as possible, although our equipment was not yet sufficient for grinding in Starfall. The numbers are based on averages found on YouTube and in Reddit, as well as our own experience. The figures in Silver per hour should therefore not be seen as fixed, but rather serve as a guideline for how well each method works.

Using a Farm
How to use a farm? A farm can be easily established by borrowing a “fence” from a corresponding NPC and placing it anywhere. Afterwards, you can plant various crops there and earn money.
Specifically, this means that you visit your farm about 3 to 4 times a day and spend some minutes harvesting.
How to earn money? You need some groundwork, as the cheapest items on a farm yield relatively little Silver:
You need the rank “Expert 1” (Artisan 1) in farming to grow particularly valuable plants. It is advisable to work with boosts and the appropriate equipment (farmer’s clothing)
You need at least 130 contribution points for the work to be worthwhile
You need to borrow strong fences from the vendor Flaviano in Heidel (located at the marketplace). You can then place them in the world, preferably near the city of Velia, as the conditions are best there
You need at least 10 workers that you can assign to the fields along with corresponding housing
It is best to use your own character for this, who will remain at the fields permanently
If you meet these requirements, you plant one of the following blue seeds for the greatest profit:
Special Dried Grass Seed
Special Wheat Seed
Once you have done this, the plants need to be cultivated (F5) and not harvested (R). When cultivating, you receive seeds back and have a chance from Expert 1 to obtain golden seeds (Magical Dried Grass Seeds). These cannot be purchased or sold at the marketplace, which makes them so interesting and valuable.
You then plant these golden seeds and cultivate them again. You return 1 to 2 golden seeds. You also receive fruits as well as some byproducts, including Mysterious Seed (100,000 Silver). You can sell the byproducts and additional golden seeds to NPCs. A golden Dried Grass Seed has a value of 344,200 Silver.
How much do you earn? Depending on how often you harvest, you can make about 20 to 40 million Silver per day. However, you only need to invest about 30 minutes throughout the day, such as in the morning, afternoon, and evening.
One of the best places to fish is the beach in Velia. Here you will also meet many AFK fishers at night.
Fishing is one of the classic activities in Black Desert.

Grinding can also be a leisure activity, as I have found out myself in the last few months:
Where can you earn a lot of money? This is often heavily debated in the community. For players with low and mid-range gear, the following are recommended:
Polly’s Forest – 160 to 170 AP and yields about 70 to 90 million Silver per hour
Blood Wolf Settlement – 190+ AP and yields about 100 million Silver per hour
Forest Ronaros – 220+ AP and yields about 100 to 120 million Silver per hour
Manshaum Forest – 220+ AP and yields about 120 million Silver per hour
Blood Wolf Settlement and Forest Ronaros are particularly interesting because here items for the Infinite Potions can be found.
In the endgame, Starfall (260+ AP) and Sycraia Underwater Ruins (270+ AP) are particularly appealing. Here you can make between 200 and 300 million Silver, depending on the drop luck of special items. However, you will also encounter many other players who may want to duel over grind spots.
Dark Rifts
What is it? Dark Rifts are little bosses that only appear for you. They pop up all over the world and can only be seen by you. When you reach the corresponding location on the map, you can fight this boss.
How much money can you earn? Depending on your gear and the related difficulty of the bosses, it is possible to earn between 10 and alleged up to 200 million Silver per hour. It is particularly important whether you can defeat the “very difficult” bosses alone and how long it takes you.
However, it is useful that bosses do not immediately regenerate health points. You can resurrect at the spot with potions after dying and continue to hit the boss.
By clicking the arrow next to the boss’s name, you’ll automatically run to the Rift and can defeat the boss.
Scrolls
What is it? In Black Desert, there are 3 types of scrolls that you can farm yourself or buy in the marketplace:
Relic Crystal Shards of the Ancients
Forbidden Book
Scroll in the Ancient Language
You need 5 of each item and then need to sort them in your inventory according to the description. Make sure to remove the checkmark from “Automatically sort inventory”.
Once you activate this item, you need to walk to a specific location. There you will then fight against a boss. Depending on the scroll and your own gear, it is advisable to complete the quests together with other players. However, at least the crystal shards and the forbidden book can be done alone with medium gear (170 AP).
How much money can you earn? This varies greatly. Depending on which scrolls you use, whether you farmed them yourself and how many players you are with. Thus, about 15 to 70 million Silver per hour is possible.
Unlike grinding, you are out here with other players and need to pay a bit of attention to the mechanics during boss fights.
What is it? The absolute classic for earning Gold in Black Desert is fishing without actively playing.
What do you need for it? Basically just a fishing rod and time. However, it only becomes really lucrative when you have a rod with high stamina and ideally the appropriate level in fishing, as well as equipment more suited for anglers.
How much can you earn? Depending on how high your fishing level is, you can earn between 5 to 30 million Silver in 8 hours – roughly in one night. The great thing about this method is that you can be completely AFK. Your character will catch fish all by itself. However, make sure you have enough inventory space.

If you also have a high cooking skill, you can further process the byproducts and earn up to 60 million Silver.
With your own farm, you can earn a lot of money in Black Desert.
Grinding
What is Grinding? Grinding is basically about killing enemies as quickly and effectively as possible and using their loot to earn Silver. This method is very repetitive, but also lucrative, at least when grinding at the right “spots”.
How to earn money? You earn primarily through 4 aspects:
Silver received directly from mobs
Trash loot that goes to the merchant
General loot such as Black Stones, which you sell in the marketplace
Special equipment items, which you sell in the marketplace
The general loot and special equipment items often make up a large part of the profits. However, since these drop randomly, the statements on earned Silver per hour fluctuate. However, there are sometimes reviews where people have farmed over weeks and then calculated the average.
Grinding can also be a leisure activity, as I have found out myself in the last few months:

Hurry up if you want to trade over 40 kilometers in Pokémon GO. The duration has been extended but ends today.
What is it about? Last Saturday, the Friendship Day in Pokémon GO took place. Lots of plant Pokémon spawned, a challenge granted you 350,000 XP, and there were bonuses for your friendships. Among other things, Niantic increased the trading radius to 40 kilometers.
This kilometer bonus was supposed to end on Saturday, but it is still active even today on Monday. We will show you how long it lasts and how you can take advantage of it.
Trade over 40 kilometers and get lucky Pokémon
How long does this last? The Japanese Twitter account of NianticHelp announced the date when the trading radius will be reduced again (via twitter.com). They write: We announced that the end of the trading bonus, which increased the radius for trading on ‘Friendship Day’, is at 5 PM on April 24. However, the duration of this increased radius has been extended and will last until April 26 at 8 PM.
You still have time until tonight at 8 PM to take advantage of the trading radius bonus of 40 kilometers and trade Pokémon with friends at this distance.
What’s the deal with the radius? Normally, you can only have a maximum radius of about 100 meters to trade with other players. During the pandemic, there have been several events where this radius was increased. This benefits many contact restrictions, as players can trade with other players who are also sitting at home. The advantage of trading with other players is that there is a chance for lucky Pokémon. They have strong combat stats.
This was a wish of many trainers who had little time to participate during Friendship Day on Saturday. The event ran for three hours on Saturday, not the seven hours typically known from Community Days. To at least be able to trade with friends over a long distance, trainers requested that the bonus remain in the game longer.
This is planned: In the next few days, there are still some events coming up in Pokémon GO. Tomorrow, on Tuesday, the Spotlight Hour will feature Finneon. On Wednesday, there will be a Raid Hour with Thundurus, Landorus, and Tornadus.
You will soon meet Shiny Farbacca in Pokémon GO
Additionally, the big Snap Event will start, which will offer you many exciting bonuses and bring Shiny Farbacca into the game. We also expect an announcement of all events for May 2021 in the coming days.
What events do you wish for in the coming weeks in Pokémon GO? Do you have specific themes that would excite you? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers.

Even before the release in summer 2017, the developers of the MMORPG Albion Online promised that you could also play on mobile devices (iOS, Android). Now it is finally here – but for now only in Germany.
What does the mobile version of Albion Online offer? It is the complete gaming experience. Everything that Albion Online has to offer in the PC version can also be found in the mobile version for devices with Android or iOS.
You are even on the same servers and can interact with players who play on PC. It is possible to switch between the platforms at any time. If you are on the go, you play on your phone, and when you return home, you switch to the PC (or Mac). Everything you earn on your smartphone while on the go is also available in the PC/Mac version.
In this video, you can see how Albion Online plays as a mobile MMORPG:

So you play with: To play the MMORPG Albion Online on Android or iOS, you just need to download the client from the respective store for your phone (via Google Play Store or Apple App Store). Then you log in with your regular login data and get started.
Albion Online Mobile is currently only available to players from Germany after a longer beta. It is a so-called soft launch, where there are no wipes or resets. More countries will follow in summer.
What are the requirements for the MMORPG? You need a phone with at least 3 GB of RAM. If your smartphone is not supported, you will receive a corresponding message. However, the developers do not provide a list of supported devices.
How does the mobile version differ from the regular one? There are some adjustments to ensure that Albion Online plays well on the touch screen of a phone.
A mobile-specific control with adjusted HUD
You can choose between two control options
The UI has been optimized and offers customizable settings
There is also another difference that may seem a bit strange: The prices for the item shop are higher in the mobile version. According to the developers, this is due to currency conversions and platform fees.
Therefore, you should always make your purchases in the in-game shop in the desktop version or directly through the webshop. Then you enjoy the lowest prices and still receive the items in the mobile version.
How is the mobile version of Albion Online received?? The version launched last Thursday, April 22. The rating in the Google Play Store is currently 3.6 out of 5 stars, and the rating in the Apple App Store is 4.9 out of 5 points (as of April 26 at 10:30 AM). We summarize some comments from the reviews for you:
Suriam M. says (via Google Play Store): “Very comprehensive sandbox grind RPG. Good community and diverse play styles. I like it.”
Sa624sha _ explains (via Google Play Store): “Cool game. Especially I love the aspect that you can also play on PC with the same account.”
JVCoolMagic is very happy about the game (via Apple App Store): “I had to wait 3 years for it to come out on iOS, but the wait was worth it. Very well implemented, perfect graphics, top-notch and keep it up.”
Wempy1996 points out some bugs in the app (via Apple App Store): “Great game, but unfortunately crashes regularly. Requires 3 GB of RAM.”
Albion Online on smartphones and tablets is well received. However, there are still some technical issues that can lead to crashes. The developers explain that they also see the soft launch in Germany as a testing phase and will continue to improve the app based on player feedback.
