Platinum GET!
This is easily a top 10 game of all time for me. Playing it as a Magick Archer was different enough from Assassin, at least the way I played it.
Finally doing all the BBI stuff this time around really helped add to the overall experience.
Sansa is 200, still a fighter with scather/utilitarian and all BBI lvl 3 gear if you guys want her.
Thanks for all the advice you gave me, folks.
Really hope DD2 is happening st some point. DDO looks cool but I want a focused sequel. Also, its only in Japanese >_<

Repeat missions do not count towards the total, I assume?
Also, notice board quests, that means everything that you can get from notice boards, such as escort quests and kill x monster, correct? How about From A Different Sky quests? I assume those are not eligible?

Just completed the main game again for the first time in years. It's super obvious Capcom was setting up a sequel. The way certain key story characters leave only to tell you they'll meet again. It's telling they wanted to expand the story further. God I wish we got DD2. I can only imagine a game set several years in there future where Mercedes sends back her squad, Quina revisits as an adepts priestess, and Aelinore.... well she comes back for more action.
They wrote some potentially strong female character arcs but they all get abandoned. :/

Repeat missions count. My trophy popped on ng+ when I completed the kill 45 skeletons or something one. And I definitely did that in my first playthrough
lol I never cared much about rings, it's such a lottery with the bigger item pool. I just focus on weapons and armor for my pawn.
I ended up getting the bow, inmediately gold forged it. Gonna take revenge on the friggin whole BBI lol.
heh I dunno. Mercedes ended up being a joke for everyone, even for some of her own soldiers. Quina's only purpose is helping you no matter that, she doesn't feel to have much agency. And Aelinore... lol
Also, I think the characters leaving is done for the latter quest with the dragon. All of the "more probable" love interests have those quests.

My pawn actually has two rings. Sorcerer/mage stuff isn't as hard to get. Other than the grind for the top tier end game armour as it drops less than the tier 1 armour. I still don't have the cloak or tier 2 head piece.
I temporarily changed my character to a sorcerer to try and dragonforge some pawn armour/weapon pieces. Jeeez, it sucks. Such a step back from daggers/swords and bows lol. Nowhere near as fun to play.
Small tip for all the new players, make a forgergy of this ring for the quest involving it http://dragonsdogma.wikia.com/wiki/Wyrmking's_Ring It offers a cast speed increase for you or your pawns (whoever's inventory it is in). The forgery doesn't increase cast speed, so hand it in for the quest. It locks you out of a piece of loot handing in the forgery, but you can just steal the loot later.
Unfortunately, that ring doesn't work when people hire your pawn (pawns inventory doesn't go with it, and it's not an equippable ring, but a quest item), but its worth it for your playthroughs.
You can get a 2nd real and working Wyrmking's Ring during the same playthrough. Gift the real ring to a friend, you can then buy a replacement from The Black Cat for 66,660G. If the friend sends you the original back you end up with 2. So arrange this beforehand or use an alt account.
In fact, you can create any number of real and working Wyrmking's Rings by repeating this process, as long as you don't have more than 1 at a time (The Black Cat won't offer a replacement if you still have one).

I guess that's useful if both you and your pawn are magic based. For the quest it doesn't matter as you can just go back at night and steal the chest contents. Which aren't all that great anyway with BBI existing and all the loot there destroying main game stuff.

I just received 299,000 rift crystals from jetoaster. Holy shit, that nearly doubled my entire RC balance with a single hire! Now I'm expecting a Godfather-style request where I'm asked to help dispose of a body IRL, or sing at somebody's wedding lol.
How is this even possible? Is that using the same pawn for the entire game? I hope Anwyn pulled her weight anyway, and thank you!
P.S. I have a shovel and am OK at karaoke

BBI content runs with a pawn will throw RC's at you if you're killing Daimon/farming big enemies.
Some of the purifying endgame takes 25,000 or 50,000 RC a pop, so you do need hundreds of thousands! Especially thanks to RNG.

She's very low level for a BBI run, although she can't normally be killed (she has the Legion's Might staff, which auto-revives her every time she falls), so maybe the convenience of that was a factor

Ah okay, probably just playing a huge chunk of the main quest with your pawn then

No, it's a misconception BBI is always night. It still goes through a day/night cycle. You have to sleep to night and then go into BBI. I just ignore all those augments tbh.
The fighter/warrior strength perks for consistent damage bonus are better.

Can't you just save and godsbane after purifying if you don't get the item you want?

Yep. Granted, it's not a purely random process. If you want a different weapon or armor, for instance, you can change your and your Pawn's vocation and then purify. But you're always going to get the same armor/weapon for that vocation (so a Coat of Shadow is never going to become a Coat of Oblivion, etc.).
My girlfriend is just about done with the game, so she wanted me to update her Pawn information here for people who want to take him out:
She wants to emphasize that he's a pretty boy, so don't take him out if you're going to be weird about his appearance. He's there to counteract the great mass of under-dressed female Pawns.
Today was a profitable day. Gold forged my Darkening Storm, now I have both physical bows gold forged. With this I can farm Daimon solo because 100 blast arrows are enough.
Also got lucky and purified the 2 staffs in a row for my pawn, so now she can do both vocations. For now I'll make her mage because I seem to get more demand for mages. Also got a couple of lvl 3 gear and a pointy hat!
Next I gotta try to dragonforge my pawn gear...
Oh, and rings still hates me though. I'm drowning in rings of perseverance...

It's very useful at least for fighting Ur Dragon, since you can always choose the time you're fighting it.

Ur Dragon is a waste of time other than the trophy. The dragons in BBI are all higher chances for dragon forging. Vs the offline Ur Dragon anyway. Online is guaranteed like the main game end boss is.
Bloodlust activation at BBI have its own time and properties that feels kinda random. Check the wikia page for more info about it. Personally I think it is too infrequent to be worthwhile.

Much thanks to AStiffBreeze's Anwyn for helping me through multiple quests, she never skipped a beat, and I had her when she was only a level 23.
Here is the latest on my pawn:
PSN: leadmonkey123
Name: Cassandra
Vocation: Warrior (previously Fighter)
Level: 30
Inclination: Scather/Mitigator (These were her original stats, but she might be different now)
Currently equipped with a Warhammer along with Indomitable Lash, Indomitable Lunge, and Corona Slash. Its hilarious to see her come up on enemies and slam on them like the high striker at the fair.

Well, it can also be useful for Daimon farming, since it's pretty easy to ensure that you fight him at night-time, if you are familiar with the BBI layout and can run fast to him.
Anyway,
Thanks for anyone hiring my Pawn, especially GAFfers in here!
And I thought you were one of the good ones.
Whaaa? I don't consider that "sexual" looking, hahaha. It looks good and charming, I think? Is it too sexual? I don't think it is. I mean, it is sexy I suppose, but not to the point where it's overbearing or anything. It's not that I equip her with underwear armor and leave it at that, lol. I think it looks nice, it looks beautiful and graceful on her, with just the right amount of sexiness.
What do you folks think? Is this kind of setup too "sexual"?

Holy fuck. I got the Framae Blades, Revenant Wail, and Dominion Claw in one go. Here I thought I'd have to farm.
Anyway, I'm gonna rent her again soon as well. Still got to repay that 1 million you got me on PS3.
Well I mean realistically, would you go into battle without any armor covering vital spots? But that's on Capcom for giving shitty choices for good high quality armor.

It looks fine - in fact it looks good.
I get the sense that some people might not be happy until your pawn was in a full burqa
