Ready for BCNM40

[JFKFC]

Ok, so I'm all ready for BCNM40. I have +17 CHR and Mary's Horn. I'm just wodnering, where do pickup BCNM parties form? SHould I just go to Giddeus with my flag up? Ohy eah, where's the map for Giddeus found?

Also, by having +17 CHR, I'm removing +MP items. Should I compromise my CHR for MP when I'm leveling? I hear CHR only affects Requiem, Lullaby, Elegy and Carol. That doesn't sound very useful for lvling.

Seriously, avoid pickup bcnm parties. It's a waste of seals as it's almost granted someone will fuck up and make some super stupid mistake and/or leave early because dinner, sleep, homework, house caught fire or extraterrestials are invading.

Go with people you trust, you must have met some reliable people the last 70+ levels. If you haven't, save your seals until you have people you can trust.

"pick up" parties? No way!! Parties come to you.

Just put :
<(Burning Circle)> OK!

When i was in my 40's i had numerous BCNM invites, i still get them all the time. Best bet is get a group you trust and use your seals on those. If other parties want you to go with them and you dont have seals, they usually dont mind and will obviously cut you in for the profit since they need you.

Never go with people you don't know. Only join BCNM with friends. Joining random pickup party who are doing BCNM is just a one way ticket to hell.

Can you do anything with a cracked/broken star orb?

[Severian]

Even if it isnt your own seals?...

Like say im just sitting around doing nothing.. And this party wants me to tag along for BCNM since they are bard-less.. is that a bad idea?

[Teejay]

it's not a bad idea if u don't mind losing level 40 xp.

i joined and lost my first bcnm w/a pickup group, however since it was my first, and i went in expecting otloose i wasn't worried about it, there is no amount of reading video watching etc you can do to prepare yourself for bcnm's, don't go in expecting to win, go in expecting to learn and u will. now the question is, do u want to learn w/ friends who you'll be doing this with to succed, or with random strangers. also for a note i use +cha gear for mp for the better resist rate, and for hte extra hps since i won't be using my electrum rings. (40 hps is alot for a taru) /cry
