Balanced Craftwars Overhaul, some RNG game I found and got addicted to it, I recommend as well (Spoilers to the game if not already played it)

If yall ever played craftwars then you might know what this game is, it’s called balanced craftwars overhaul. It’s just a game where you start off with zero crap working ur way up through RNG or Dungeons.

Why am I talking about this? Because I’ve been playing it for some time (3 months trol) and rank 3,000 with two equinox gear.

I recommend playing this solo it’s fun, or you can play with friends it might be even more fun

The game starts you off with an Aug (Some Rifle), Sword, and a Pickaxe. You’d use these items to work your way up to different classes of gear or weapons. After you gained enough material you’d craft these items that will help progress through the game, once you’ve gotten powerful enough you’d fight against the 5 mega bosses, defeating them all will lead you to the “grand finale” being Atlas, after killing him you are put into hardmode making the game harder and more grindy. You’d use this as an advantage to work your way up to more items such as Corrupt, Pure, Holy, Unholy, Angelic, Void, Synodic, Seraph, Eldritch, Equinox, and other types of classes.

The game does have many places such as the solar tower, darkness biome, the mines, the beneath, and other locations within the game. All though most of them are teleportations and RNG chances such as Darkness or Illuminate.

The dungeons are less RNG but harder to progress in, but you do get some pretty good rewards for beating it with somebody or yourself. These dungeons have two types of paths Celestial and Technology. Creations of light or darkness will receive the aether curse in these parts, you are not able to use these items unless it’s technology or celestial path items.

The biomes require the use of actually playing the game and having good RNG, but are slightly easier to go through. The rewards are craftables, all of them drops are by bosses, most bosses drop materials you need to use to craft other items but their weapons or accessories are legendary to obtain. This would be the Light and Dark path, this would fully create the equinox.

The Mines and Beneath are highly gonna be used at the start of your game since you’ll need better gear to reach the best-early game set Aka Adamantine. You have you use some sort of light source to travel and see through the Caverns or Beneath, you can slightly see the caverns without light if you have a good eye site and you can just mine there. The Beneath has rarer ores, however, it is pitch dark and you need light. The monsters here are loud and can sometimes make you jump the first time, these monsters can send you to limbo if you die and the only way to get back to BCWO is just to keep falling down from the limbo until you reach the black void (teleport pad thing)

The bosses can sometimes be a pain but it’ll soon work out, bosses in the pre-hardmode session aren’t too hard and can grind them for the good stuff and use their craftables to gain better items. However, when you reach hard mode bosses they’ll be annoyingly hard to beat the first time, one, for example, is the paladin, he has homing-pillar attacks and knockback, and had two phases. This would make the fight enraging and annoying.

Each accessory has its own unique ability such as being able to dodge or parry (automatic with rng), protection charms, auras, and or boosts. These would possibly greatly help using stuff against certain enemies.

New player -
If you plan on trying this game out (There is a lot more to these paragraphs, here is my guide.
When entering the game you know, finish the tutorial so you understand how the game works. When you first spawn I’d recommend either killing a few bosses with a sword (you’ll die a few times but gets the job done) for money and or items, or you can go to the caverns, a teleport pad in your house, and get straight to mining to get better pickaxes so you can mine basically all the ores you need in your long run. (Yes, you should start with getting better pickaxes). After you’ve done this, I’d get straight to full adamantine, the ONLY adamantine weapon you should get is the devastator and armor because those are really good as a start. I’ll list all recommended items at the bottom of this

Late game -
Things will start to get grindy, you’ll need to put your luck to the test trying to get 1/3500 biomes, 1/1500 biomes, and 1/10000 biomes. Not to worry because each biome occurs each tick, each tick is pretty much milliseconds. If you don’t get a good biome just rejoin. (Do NOT rejoin Angelic, Void, Darkness, Illuminate, or Hvuh. Those biomes can be hard and annoying to get and is really needed for later game)

Mega bosses -
When fighting these mega bosses I’d try and stay patient or you can just get help from a guy who has goods to kill the mega bosses fast. When fighting the bosses, you should first have Seas revenge, a 1/5 drop by ocean decorator, this will aid speed and a temporary forcefield. Before fighting these mega-bosses, I’d try to learn how each boss works or you’ll get shredded pretty quickly, each one has their own unique abilities and some may be even annoying. All I can say it good luck. You only have 5 lives.

The difficulty of each boss IMO:
Hardest: Eye of the Storm - has this bug that can make you lose 3 lives in a row and has knockback. I’d advise playing it safe and keep running in one direction.

Mid-Hardest: Atlas - This boss has huge hitboxes and is a flying giant stone. He’s honestly pretty easy but it’s gonna need lots of patience, to solo this it’ll take 20 minutes

Mid: Aurora Glacier - Can stun (freeze player), two NPCS, kill the brother (swordsman first or it’ll be “impossible” to do if you killed the sister first)

Mid-Easiest: Hydra - Has 3 phases, 1 and 2 is not to worry. Phase 3 however you must run in one direction and keep using seas revenge because he’s got some great range and some great damage now.

Easiest: Leviathan - Shoot down his bubbles and make sure he doesn’t launch at you, just keep moving simple

Optional: Avatar of Avarice - This is just if you want to get easy millions or a billion, you need good weapons for this though since it’ll be annoying

Dungeon Bosses:

Solar Knight: If you have any item that uses iframes he’ll explode which can instantly kill you and heal 50k. Iframes in this game mean anything that gives invincibility even if it’s for a short duration.

A.R.E.S: This boss is honestly pretty laggy, just keep moving and don’t get close to him so he doesn’t like to kill you. I’d deal with his turret minions though.

.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These are the items you should totally have as an early-game player

  • Seas revenge
  • Adamantine Devastator
  • Viridis Pickaxe
  • Full Adamantine Armor
  • Lumen/Staff of life
  • Hydra staff/triscythe
  • Any legendary you get EXCEPT for everfrost amulet or leviathan
  • Aurora blast
  • Titan shield/Titan stone shield
  • Clarent/Excalibur if you get Bene or Asta
  • Broken ring of light (Code: R1NG)
  • Spectral Wings (Code: 1MVISITS)
  • Gives Dodging For Newbies (1KLIKES)

And you can get the rest of the codes and craft thing that looks appealing to you

There are possibly even more than what I said but hey, maybe you can discover what other things lying around.

This game in my opinion is pretty good, though it does have some bugs overall, this is possibly my favorite RNG game I’ve played yet. I do love the models and how each weapon works. (Fun fact, the model takes longer to make than the coding - devs of BCWO)
