Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen |OT| deep down darkness
- Thread starter Goli
- Start date
Same, except I'm a Ranger now and my main pawn is a Warrior, working good. Ranger is a fucking cannon and who cares if you're a little bit glass if you never get hit?
Ah, gotcha. I just asked because I'd feel bad if a person took my pawn instead someone else's when I don't need RC.
So true. I'm sad that all the BBI headgear I've found thus far is ugly as fuck. Nothing gross is allowed to touch my pawn's chiseled face.

Only chest pieces. I have hellfire and oblivion arm, leg and hats/helms 3x over but no chest plates.

Surprised at how many people are using my pawn, just got into the mil with those points.
If anyone here is good at making pawns, anyone have an idea on how to make the female main character from Dragon Quest IV? then i have to make sure she has good pawn attributes for a melee type character.(or basically no guardian)

Hey guys, I got Dark Arisen (PS3 version) last week, and I'm loving it so far. I never played the original version, so I'm still fairly early in the game. Right now I'm in Gran Soren, approaching level 20, working on the Wyrm Hunt quests. I added myself to the list in the OP if anyone wants to use my pawn. She's a fighter - I tried to model her after Brienne from Game of Thrones.
Yes, you have all of them open to you at the start.
All your options are actually viable, which is great because changing vocation really makes combat feel different and keeps it fresh. I've played strider, ranger, assassin with a fighter/warrior main pawn up to post-game and it's been absolutely fine - those two hired pawn slots give you all the flexibility you need to cover gaps in your team.
I just DF'ed my pawn's staff, that was painful and I never want to do it again. Gold Star now, I've yet to see how much damage she does with it. Meteors are going to be quite something.

Thanks, good to know. I've been enjoying it so far, I can see it sucking up a lot of my time.
Just sent you an armor piece. Hopefully it's a chest piece!

Just picked up and upgraded to level 3 the Immortal Helm. My god is that helm awesome looking (and it matches Crimson Plate very well). Now my tank actually has a pretty cool look, instead of just being a chrome-dome.
Although I definitely do not agree with the blanketed "min/maxing is not necessary" (followed up with "go level more" when someone is having a problem with an area or fight...), playing beyond level 75 - 80 seems like complete overkill for this game. You literally had no reason to go past 75 (talking about difficulty, not questing/trophies) in vanilla unless you were planning on doing online Ur. So basically, you don't have to min/max...you can just overlevel everything; which I think is pretty jank.
Right now at lvl 65, I've yet to hit anything in BBI yet that feels like a wall where I need more levels. But anyway, once your actual character level starts slowing down (40+) you can simply play as the MA full time and port back to town for a Sorc or whatever switch when you're a few hundred XP away from a character level. Level, then switch back to MA. It's still a bit of micromanagement, but it's nothing like what used to be recommended where people actually expected you to stay as a Sorcerer until the end. Eternal Ferrystones make it a bit easier in that regard.
Happens too much for my liking. You can actually run back a bit (not too far or it's health will completely reset) when it's low on health and save the game. This is also how you farm drakes for a "guaranteed" dragonforged item.

C'mon Daimon, give me my Revenant Wail.
At least, he gave me the sword Devilsbane (1200 base strenght).
You can't gift or rate pawns of players who don't have the same version of Dragon's Dogma.

But... but that's everybody I've seen. You'd think they'd let us sort pawns by game version or something

God's had his chance.
I need that hellfire armor... guess i need to quite messing around and just start farming Daimon over and over again...
Need swords like whoa... and at least a dark counterpart to my Trophy set.

Too bad there's not a sweet horde co-op mode of some kind to use your new high level gear in.

So I've been Godsbaning myself at Daimon's chests - I'm trying to find a pattern here and I'll hopefully report on something worthwhile in a bit.
Also, I made a fan art of JohnLacke's pawn ChieSatonaka.

Carrion Greaves! Not a chest plate but still awesome. I'll get you back

really? I think I meant for the upgrade from the BI upgrade guy. It looks like some sort of jug in the icon. @ work ATM cant check
You mean after first DF? Your post was a little vague.
I'd have to get it DF'd to find out... not happening with this headache.

Yeah, I wonder about this as well. Pawns can usually get knocked off of a ledge so I'm wondering if they get to keep RC thus far.

Yeah after being DF. Sorry, im very bad with terms.
Hope your headache gets better!
I'm want to say that you can only get one armor, weapon, gem, and novelty item from the chests. I've reset the game a bunch of times trying to get more than one armor and it never happened.

Didn't get any RC from you, Burgerdog. Did you send her back?
Once I get my last piece of armor and jump into NG+, I'm going to use a lot of the lower leveled pawns from my friends list. Just beat Daimon for the 30th time, no chest armor...I'm starting to feel really unlucky

Which chest armor? The one that restores health?

I don't have Hellfire, Oblivion or Traitor. None of the best chest plates. I don't even have Immortal, which is tier below Traitor.
Edit: sorry I keep complaining about this, guys. I'm starting to wonder if its a glitch or something

God's had his chance.
Anyone compile or find a listing of the possible cursed items from Daimon and his chests? I'm gonna probably start the farming tonight so..
and while doing the godsbane biz at the chests... your best chance is to wait for lvl 3 items and then just pray when you purify them correct? Save and purify - reload if it's bad - change class to focus towards swords and all that?

I have all of this and the helmets and weapons but not a single boot. Boots are Tier 3 right?
HalfBakedProphet
Member
yes, hellfire/oblivion/carrion boots/legs are tier 3.
My inventory is overflowing with boots. I wish we could give items that weren't cursed.

I need to borrow someone's high level pawn so I can clear vanilla DD
Can someone friend me?

I did. Wow, I hope you don't get screwed out of that. I used her for 10+ hours so it should give you a ton of RC.
If I get duplicates, I just reset and send the cursed item to a friend since they'll get different results. I also use this method because it saves RC lol
The item changes if you give it to a friend? Interesting.
Prophet/Burger do you guys know where Lizardscale Pelts come from? I can't find any though I apparently do have one already it's required for the level 3 Oblivion chest upgrade.
I've tried hunting the saurians to check but they aren't dropping them.
And I can't believe how you have to kill death multiple times to gold-forge some pieces. D: Need more bone lanterns.
My pawn is now in full Oblivion minus headgear (it's ugly) with the best bow and best daggers - only thing remaining is to finish gold forging the items and get a good hat that doesn't look like shit. Right now she's got Laurel Circlet, but the stats aren't good at all. I wouldn't mind a BB level 1 or 2 hat if it looked decent... Oh and it'd be good to find a Strider's Band with Thousand Kisses on it.

Its from the giant saurians. They can appear in the very first area of BBI. If you have the money, you should forge Death's drops.
Yeah that's my plan now I didn't think of it the first time sadly. Can you make unlimited duplicates?
Use the blackcat to dupe the items from death, it should work since it works for Daimon items. At least I hope it does. The lizardscale pelts should definitely be able to forge, try it!

Black Cat is your answer, forging makes grinding far less of a pain.
Btw, Full Immortal set and bitter end gold forged=Boss mode. If I could only find a tier 3 skill ring for arc of deliverance, then id be the walking apocalypse.
Why? For easier resets?
