Does light stones effects ap/do brackets or count as hidden?
Hello 🙂 That’s a good question! I’m curious about this as well. I did some research on https://bdoplanner.com/ and it appears that the AP from Fire: Rage and [Merciless] combo that it can give, “All AP +24” does NOT impact the AP bracket at all. So it appears to be hidden AP. Someone please correct me if I’m understanding this wrong. 🙂
Hi , none of the artifacts affect the AP/DP brackets .
Greetings! Is there any infos about Dark Parchment scrolls has adjusted lightstone loot, so they are really dropping x9 amount as normal drops or you’ll get change for lightstone as from single scroll?
Hello 🙂 Great question! I haven’t seen any reports on that yet, but I hope so!
There is a small error with the lightstone list “Lightstone of Flora: Wagon” it says its +3% bartering but its actually for trade. Other than that thanks for all the good information here and on all the other pages you’ve help me out a lot.
How did that sneak in there?! 🙂 Thanks for letting me know. It’s fixed.
Is there any probability % list ?
Not that I’m aware of. This grinding spot list has a filter which shows the grinding spots that have a higher probability to drop which Lightstones. Have fun! :))
