Dragon's Dogma - Dark Arisen

[Pabst]

Any advice for augments? I've got all of the Warrior ones set now but a friend mentioned there's a +20kg carrying capacity one that I think I need, if only because I freak out being so close to Heavy all the time. I'm still trying to figure out how to manage all of my gear and weight, not helped by my pawns all being flimsy casters or rangers.

That's a fighter augment, level 5 called sinew. If you're feeling brave you can try your luck getting the ring of perseverance in bitter black isles. Increases the discipline points gain.

i've enjoyed arm strength and leg strength. Both unlocked via strider. Arm Strength reduces the stamina consumed when you are clinging to shit and leg strength improves your movement by 1 level of encumbered so if you are average you move like a light or w/e.

The only jobs ive played are strider and assassin and i am super not impressed with the augments offered to assassins. i guess it would be dope if i played exclusively at night but w/e

Im guessing the RC thing is totally buggy right now cause i havent gotten any

Yeah, I got some from one dude that's not a BG dude once and that's all so far.

[Kaelan?]

I was getting 0 all the time, but yesterday one of you dudes rented mine and it came back with 23k RC

[Krandor]

I got my 20k from tyven and then it's been a whole lot of zeros, including from some random asshole who rated my pawn 1 star across the board.

[Brill Weave]

Anyone need some RC?

You're welcome for all that by the way.

At this moment the update isn't available for download, but new version of Nexus Mod Manager is adding support for Dragon's Dogma.

Mostly just ENBs/Reshade presets on the site right now, but there's your standard nude textures as well as some that may prove useful (the aforementioned stat growth changes that some have talked about, and one that reduces the glow effect on enchanted weapons and the lantern)

ENB also received an update today, cleans up AO and improves it's performance. Also improves shadow rendering.

[Krandor]

Chari you might be getting like 50 bajillion RC dumped on you because I got bored with leveling some classes and hacked my way up to 100 while your pawn was with me.

Just sayin

Related, my pawn is woefully undergeared for the level range they're at, so fair warning to anyone who hires them.

[tyven]

gdi your pawn is my tank!

[Krandor]

Sorry bra, need that Ranger stat growth for 100+

Actually, lemme help you out with that. I'll just tweak the stat growth on Fighter so it's the same as Ranger so you can keep using them.

[Charismatic]

Unless I get pretty lazy(this actually happens almost half the time, lel), I usually just go offline before resting at an inn if I switch my pawn's vocation.

Also, fairly decent pawn ya got there Krandor, no worries. She didn't get her ass kicked as bad as I thought she would.

Spoiler: show

[Krandor]

Btw I need to thank you/your pawn Chari. When I played the first time around on console I never knew that Scarlet/100/1000 kisses could be used while mounting a monster.

I have now learned the error of my ways after watching your pawn go ham on a cockatrice.

Also, got Gloves of Might dragonforged on the first try, fuck yeah.

Changed my pawn to Fighter and geared her up a bit, liking that a lot more than Ranger. Don't know why I never tried making a tank pawn before, never knew how good pawns are at blocking things. Love watching her run in the middle of a big group and drop half of them like nothing.

Also: when did they change the drake in devilfire grove to run away on low health? Ran away from me 4 times in a row before I gave up trying to kill it :/

[Lyall]

I didn't have it run away, but I did have it fly up like it was going to breathe fire and then just... back away from me entirely. I was also being chased by a pack of goblins at the time so I figured I'd mop them up while I was out of range of the drake, and then he just floated off to nowhere and despawned.

I reloaded because I really wanted to kill it. Arc of Fuck Your Shit All Up continues to prove effective and my shitty iron gauntlets got dragonforged. Loving this game.

[Teknique]

The magic archer arc really fucks the drakes up being ice element and they are weak to ice too

i used your fighter for a bit last night and wow she was wrecking fools.

Also i was foolishly using Chari's pawn for the griffin mission and she almost killed it before it flew to blue moon tower and i was like NO GOD DAMMIT but then it worked out

also do drakes respawn? i killed the one in devilfire and didnt get anything dope out of it

respawn every 10 days ingame, so best tip for farming/ getting wyrmforged is kill it, run to the vendor not far away, and rest for 10 days and repeat

[tyven]

nice thx

I dropped a portstone down at the castle just in case I need to get back to that side again. My current idea is to always have one on me to use as a workaround to exploration; I loot everything and needing to stop to hit town then hike back was becoming a pain in the ass, so now I just checkpoint myself and return. It's a lot like Mark/Recall from Morrowind. I haven't been bitten by a game like this in a long time, it feels good.

Last night I was mopping up the quest to clear out that castle and got all the way to the final troll (ogre?) at the top. I was charging Arc and then he punched me clean off of the wall and instakilled me. It was fantastic. Oh, and during that drake fight I managed to hang onto his tail as he was flying up. Scaled him, beat on his head and then got thrown off. I didn't expect it to work, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.
