Trying to find some Jazbay in Skyrim is the toughest "flower picking" quest I've experienced.
Managed to steal and buy some from various alchemists but never found it in the wild. Yet.

Edit: And the easiest one is Nirnroot and all Skyrim players know why.

I decided to give Black Desert one more go. Yesterday I made a "seasonal" character, that can apparently only be played in season.... whatever that means. So today I decided to make a trial one, instead. After all, I am playing on a 14 day trial. But apparently trial characters are level 60 from the get go and basically only for trying out some stuff? And I can't move the character to another type of character slot. Do they have good old, regular, permanent characters?

I thought it was silly enough that they apparently have a male and a female class for everything instead of the ability to choose male or female of say, warrior class. And they don't list them "in order" either, so the female equivalent of e.g. warrior (whatever that is) can be anywhere among the 22 classes.

I'm getting annoyed

The two characters I made were permanent. I think.
At least they were still there the last time I had a go on it, which admittedly was a while back now.

How far are you getting in the quests? I think the last thing I remember doing was a raid on a castle and an odd fishing quest that I put off because hundreds of other people were queuing up at the waters edge to do the same quest.

Uh, I'm still on the learning the ropes bit. Killed some trees. I don't really like killing things that don't fight back. Well, the imps were a bit pesky. And I don't like how you "learn things about things" by killing them. Also, I had some sort of combo video lesson pop up and ruin my fighting completely. While that was open, mouse button attacks didn't work at all, only number keys.

oh and yes, THIS time when I logged in with my first character, there was a bit of info at the top of the screen saying that seasonal characters were made permanent when the season ended. Seems a redundancy, when they could just have ordinary character slots to begin with.

Anyway, I think my character is level 6. :p

Yes, I remember a lot of imp killing too.
I also recall a few boss battles where you had to go to a specific place and "summon" the boss to appear. But of course, everyone else was summoning bosses too and it was rather confusing trying to work out which was "my" boss.

I think I remember you mentioning that....
I noticed you can "turn off" other players in your settings. Or was it just their battle effects? Not sure if that turns off their bosses too. Or would that mean a potential truckload of invisible bosses suddenly attacking you?

Turning off other people?
That would be nice.
Usually those settings in MMOs just turn off the chat.

Anyway, get picking those flowers, Geralt!
Yes, I know that's the wrong one but pick it anyway.

 

I'm sure it may come in handy sometime like those thousands of Fools Parsley leaves that I've acquired in the last 30 minutes.
 

Stupid crabsquid broke my seamoth!

EDIT: and in case anyone needs to know: Do not play with cuddlefish while skittish cat is sitting behind the lap top, watching the screen from above.... All cats explode, if you do this.

Stupid finger just broke the trigger off of my controller!
