Did something dumb and now need help

[hallow crag]

So I am a new player and so I didn't know anything about seasonal weapons and such. As I do I remove my old weapons when I get a new one. Well I did a whoopsie and accidently removed my only season weapon on my character because I thought a fishing rod was a new weapon. Now I have to fight everything with bare hands and i cant really progress the story because it takes so long to even take 1 mob on. Any suggestions on what I can do? Anything is appreciated!

Did something dumb and now need help

hey, if you have beginner black stones or timefilled blackstones you can head into the nearest city and exchange them for a weapon at either Fughar or the local blacksmith

if you have neither of those items, check your season pass or black spirit quests, you can possibly claim some of them as a reward.

otherwise I think some beginner gear from the blacksmith in velia is accessible to season characters, which can be used to farm up a beginner blackstone

@hallow crag did it work?

[hallow crag]

i am still finding fughar because it didnt work at the blacksmith but will update you when i find him!

[quaint crow]

near the stables usually!

[hallow crag]

okay i found him but he doesnt 'sell' any seasonal weapons, only things like earrings and rings

[quaint crow]

do you have the blackstones?

it should be under exchange not the season rewards

[hallow crag]

yes i do have 100 blackstones

[quaint crow]

which type? beginner or time filled?

[hallow crag]

oh the beginner ones

[quaint crow]

should be an Exchange option a Fughar

[hallow crag]

hmmm weird i only have the season special gift option

[quaint crow]

you walk up to him, press R, and only have the option to pick special gift?

[hallow crag]

yes

[undone cloud]

Do you have "Show all Quests" turned on in the Quest tab (O key)

[quaint crow]

the Exchange shouldnt really be a quest but yeah might be worth a check

Im not ingame so I can't read the item description but Im fairly sure its just an exchange

[hallow crag]

i mean right now i only have 1 quest going on and thats the 'Mine Imp's Den' quest

[quaint crow]

can you walk up to Fughar, talk with him, and then send a screenshot?

[hallow crag]

ofc!

[undone cloud]

#server-rules for image permissions

[hallow crag]

ah thank you didnt see it

[quaint crow]

🤔

which town is that?

[hallow crag]

rn i am in velia

[quaint crow]

weird that it isn't there

does the description of the beginner black stone point to a different npc for the exchange?

[hallow crag]

oooo it does say something

it says i need to complete the 'serendia main questline' to be able to trade with him

[quaint crow]

ahh then talk with the blacksmith there

I think he can give you a weapon

or was that in Western Guard Camp

[hallow crag]

i mean i havent even reached serendia yet if that is another city

[quaint crow]

Serendia is the next region

[hallow crag]

but i will look in western guard camp

[quaint crow]

check the Velia blacksmith first

Im not ingame so I cant check stuff sorry

[hallow crag]

yeah i understand dw

the blacksmith in velia only sells armor and not any weapons

[quaint crow]

yeah guard camp then

[hallow crag]

oki

[quaint crow]

i know there is a way to get a weapon again to prevent a softlock

[hallow crag]

yeah i hope so

otherwise that would be a quick end of my gameplay

okay so i looked at the blacksmith in western guard camp

and sadly he only trades those weapons for gold and not the other way around

[quaint crow]

any time filled blackstones?

lemme quickly restart my game

gonna find the thing Im looking for

[hallow crag]

nope dont have any time filled ones

only the beginner

hmmm maybe i found how to exchange with the guy in western

but then i have to get 3x 100g gold bards

bars

[quaint crow]

thats not it

Im pretty sure someone else softlocked them in the same way so Im trying to remember how we fixed that

[hallow crag]

aaaaa i see

well its not like i wouldve worked for me that way because i can only get 2 of those 100g bars max

[quaint crow]

you're next to Claus and Miguel right?

[hallow crag]

yes

[quaint crow]

okay I havent done the Balenos quests but the tent near Feinia, do you see a chest there you can interact with?

I seriously have no clue if that could be it

but me and someone else are remembering there being a weapon here 😂

WAIT

[hallow crag]

oh i dont have that chest there anymore

[quaint crow]

IM AN IDIOT

[hallow crag]

that was in one of the first quests in the game

[quaint crow]

I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING

[frosty yacht]

what?

[quaint crow]

click the trash

CLICK RECOVER

[hallow crag]

aaa

[quaint crow]

you might be able to just recover it lol

I totally forgot omg

[hallow crag]

oh but sadly i dont have anything in it

[quaint crow]

RIPPPPP

[frosty yacht]

damn

[hallow crag]

omg why is it so difficult to find a weapon to not get soft locked

[quaint crow]

because Seasaon

[frosty yacht]

[hallow crag]

mhm

[frosty yacht]

I'll be bad cop and say only way out now is store whatever you claimed as rewards....delete and start over. (I hope you don't have a premium outfit yet )

That's really all you can do ...also

[hallow crag]

honestly i saw that one coming

[frosty yacht]

You chose Balenos as your starting zone right?

[quaint crow]

yeah theyre near velia

[hallow crag]

i just chose the one for beginners

[frosty yacht]

alright

phew XD

but yeah I think deletion is the only way out of this one sadly

[hallow crag]

is premium outfit like something you pay for or?

well thats unfortunate

[frosty yacht]

nah sometimes newbies get them as part of their 'welcome' package or free rewards

and they become character bound once worn so

[hallow crag]

aaa i see

well i dont remember anything with premium outfit or something

[frosty yacht]

ok that's good at least

[hallow crag]

was too lazy to costumize my character so

[frosty yacht]

well taht's saved your ass in one way 😂

[hallow crag]

yep

[quaint crow]

am i just remembering wrong about there being a weapon though x,x

I feel bad for sending you on a wild goose chase now lol

[hallow crag]

awww dw

honestly you tried

[frosty yacht]

It's likely it was removed when season was reworked and stuff

so not your fault

[quaint crow]

probably

[hallow crag]

and its the game's fault that they dont have a way for players to fix it when they get soft locked

[quaint crow]

Im not crazy for thinking it was there then

[hallow crag]

the fact that i actually wasted like 10-15 minutes on a boss with bare hands because i thought i could get my weapon back is a bit sad

[quaint crow]

omg noooo

[hallow crag]

anyways now it says that i need to delete all the pearl items on this character

any idea what type of items those are?

[quaint crow]

yeah pearl inventory has to be empty

[hallow crag]

lemme check if i can find it

[quaint crow]

probably scrolls

throw them in storage

[hallow crag]

aaaa i see

[quaint crow]

possibly equipped stuff as well

[hallow crag]

yeah my game crashed when starting up so it takes awhile

[hallow crag]

well thank you for trying to help me with the weapon but too bad that it couldnt get fixed!

[frosty yacht]

No worries XD

I'll be sleeping now

[hallow crag]

good night to you then!

[quaint crow]

those are unavailable to be equipped by seasonal characters

[hallow crag]

yeah i already tried to do that before i asked for help and was very dissapointed when i couldnt equip them

but i now have a new charatcer so all is good

[lilac isle]

Did you make a new season char or just a normal char? Cause if you manage to progress the main story long enough you'll actually get a mainhand weapon in Mediah that you can use on season chars and an offhand weapon from early Valencia if I remember correctly. Just need to leave them boxed up and not open them so you can open them on the season char. https://bdocodex.com/us/item/10681/ and https://bdocodex.com/us/item/45846/

[bleak hemlock]

The Black Abyssal Axe can actually be re-boxed if you don't upgrade it

[quaint crow]

it's their first character so they can't do the quest for the weapon, unless they make a 2nd character to do the quests
