Recently got into it, not completed it mostly done the start, restarting to test other builds characters etc. Spending far too much time in char creator. Thinking dick-ass thief who became an adventurer who wants to become the richest handsomest mf ever so assassin? Their skillset looks awesome. Is there an early sword that has ice or lightning enchantment for some style?
>>
I'm Lv170 MA with Sapfire and Dragon's Quickening. I beat Daimon but can't get past his 2nd form, I barely do any damage, even with Immolation and Thousand Kisses, can't even get one bar down, despite absolutely destroying everything else in BB. I don't know how I can farm for Framae Blades if I can't get the WeaponsLv3. Any help?
>>
>>148563883
Are you spamming conqueror's prypiats?
>>
>>148563364
There's a lighting one, kind of a mid game weapon.
>>
>>148563883
Don't use sapfires unless you're using Grand Scension/Sunflare (which scale off of weapon magic). Splitting your damage is bad since the game has damage thresholds and thresholds + damage types aren't combined. You'd be better off with the helmbartes.

Also you can farm level 3s off a few chests pre-daimon, check the wiki for which ones. Just godsbane til you get them at each one. Death can also drop them but he'll level you up absurdly fast and you're already nearing the no-man's-land of level 200.
>>
>>148563364
Eden's Warden is fairly early iirc, and looks nice.
http://dragonsdogma.wikia.com/wiki/Eden's_Warden
Just buy a nut from reynard (traveling merchant you save from gobbos at the very beginning), exit his shop menu, buy another nut, etc until he gives you a quest to bring him a piece of scrap iron (dropped by skeletons). Once you do he'll sell you the sword.
>>
>>148563883
Or just shillings your pawn. Some kind anon gifted me a lv3 weapons which I purified into dogturd. You might have more luck.
>>
>>148563883
Simple steps:
1. Get Helmbartes instead of Sapfires
2. Hire a Holy buffing pawn
3. Get Adhesion

Send the pawns in to draw Frazil fire and Holy buff you. Climb its face. Start Hundred kissing and never stop. You'll kill the boss in about 20 seconds. If that isn't fast enough for you, Opportunism, Thousand Kisses, and Conqueror's Periapts will have him dead in about 10 or less.
>>
>>148566007
>about 20 seconds
20 seconds is how long it took me with framae blades, immolation, 4x tagilus's miracles, a strider and a ranger with lvl3 gear, adhesion, clout, vehemence and opportunism at ~400 base attack. 10 if you only include the time spent on Daimon, of course, and that was sans holy enchantment.

That said, if you bring a ring of violet to avoid getting thundershocked off, climbing is an extremely safe way to take him on and either helmbarte or framae dragonforged or higher you should be able to kill him eventually and be pretty safe clinging to him. I usually kill him with ninefold bolt as MA though, because it's more fun.
>>
>>148566703
All I remember about my first Daimon kill is playing a Ranger and using the aforementioned tactic. He died before he event got a chance to use the vortex attack. This was with with Helmbartes, a Holy enchant, all Strength augments (except Opportunism) and 4 periapts, probably about level 130ish. I didn't even know the second form did the vortex thing until I came back later as a different class.
>>
>>148567917
Yeah, he actually started the vortex in phase 1 in that run despite the fact it was over faster but not 2. Not sure if it's because he prioritises it below a certain health point in 1 and not in 2, because he's just slower in 2 or what.
>>
is it even worth it to take pawns when i'm trying to farm death? they just stand in his instant kill attack

and yes they are all sleep immune
>>
Seems all the advice for daimon is for yellow classes. Any chance for blues or reds?
>>
>>148568403
I'm told that the Rusted Swords maxed out that inflicts Torpor works well against him, until BBI 2.0
>>
>>148568403
blue: holy enchant focused bolts
yellow: climb

>>148568403
For MK, pack holy riposte, blessed trance, great cannon and maybe perilous sigil. Try to perfect block his attacks (including his spells) on top of your cannons.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KvAXahdTyE

For Sorcerer, use holy enchant on yourself and spam focused bolt (holding down light attack until it charges the spray of magic bolts), especially on his second form, or get three other sorcs with utility and scather and synch seism if you're brave.

For fighter or warrior, as far as I know you've basically got to climb and attack his heads (small one in first form, dragon head in second), preferably with a holy enchant from a pawn. It'll take a lot longer since you don't have gouge or thousand kisses to use while climbing. Dragon's Maw and Arc of Deliverance might work out alright but you won't hit his weak points.

Don't play a mage. Lmao.

For pawns, striders with hailstorm volley and/or brainsplitter fucking annihilate him (see >>148566703, at 00:15 my pawn uses hailstorm volley and several health bars disappear in a couple of seconds), and blues that can give you holy enchants can be super handy regardless of your vocation. Instead of using periapts, bring salomet's solutions/tagilus's miracles to buff the whole team; Smart pawns can deal almost as much damage as smart players, provided you buff them as much as yourself.
>>
>>148568403
For sorcs, it helps to practice against drakes and wyrms. Get a feel for using the go and come commands with your pawns to distract enemies as well as to keep your pawns from dying stupidly, and while conventional wisdom recommends against, having a medicant mage on hand to heal you while you're charging spells is actually pretty helpful--you won't have to go through all your curatives in a single nuke cast.

Once you get a feel for keeping your distance and finding the right opportunities to cast nukes, you'll get a sense for when you need to run, when you need to use short charge spells like grand ingle or hfb, and when you can take a moment to pull off a grand seism or something.

Don't underestimate spells you can pull off damage on while moving, either, like fulmination or brontide. You might also give a pawn goldforged rusted equipment so they can inflict torpor. And it helps to have several pre-100 levels of some yellows to get you more stamina so you can sprint and cast.
>>
>>148568403
>>148569340
Additional MK tips:

Take the typical climbing build and Abyssal Anguish. Buff yourself, and climb onto his BACK near the edge of the face. The extra attack range from Abyssal Anguish will mean you can strike the face from his back, where none of his attacks except Frazil can hit you, as your strikes will clip through his body. You can also use 4 of both magic and strength boosting items for even more damage, and a Holy enchant will make this further effective still. This works especially well before you're running around in all the game's best gear, as it stacks a lot of damage onto your main hand attacks.

Thanks I'll check that out. What's a good companion for an assassin? I was thinking an amazon mystic knight who's tsundere for the PC but they can't be hybrids so I'm not sure. Loli/shotas look kinda silly from what I've seen. I'm guessing archer elf is overdone.
>>
is there any mod to get the berserk armor on pc?
>>
@Heraclitus's owner, I sent him back. Let me know how much RC you got, and if you still need more for the metamorphosis.

In terms of criticism, he could stand a bit better equipment for his level--he has a tendency to range ahead, and he has a harder time keeping his HP up because of it. He also tends to cast bolide against fodder enemies or right at the end of a fight, though I'm not sure if there's anything you can really do about that.

That said, fun pawn. Would probably hire again.
>>
>>148570137
Err, yes, levin

>>148570319
If I'm not mistaken the armor still exists in the code for the game, but the models for them have been stripped out and so they are completely unusable
>>
>>148570256
You can also get Eden's Warden with a pretty decent drop rate from one (or more?) of the chests in the water god's altar. Wiki might be able to tell you which chest(s).
>>
>>148570256
I haven't seen many elf archers. Rangers and striders are the best pawns unless you're a sorcerer (in which case sorcerers are the best pawns) imo, but your mileage may vary. Mages are helpful early on for healing and later for grapnel. Fighters with dragon's maw do respectable damage, are pretty sturdy and if given team stamina items like mushroom potage will keep the party in stamina from spamming dragon's maw and then healing- but if you go fighter make sure to avoid shield drum, it's a shit skill on pawns because they just spam it for some reason. Idk about warrior pawns, I almost never use them but they don't seem great.

I'll admit that Cassandra was a big influence in creating Octavia's face, but I still wanted a tanned not-Casca tomboy as a companion. I always liked rought-looking girls in fiction and I really like Cassandra in the screenshots and concept arts.

>>
>>148591850
Depends on what you want in a fantasy game. Origins was pretty good if a bit retarded at times, 2 was consolized as fuck and almost turned into a hack and slash and Inquisition is sort of a mix between the two except it has some of the ugliest characters you'll ever see in a game that isn't the fault of the graphics (grease elf comes to mind). So play 1 and 3 imo.

When purifying skill bands, are the two skills chosen at random or are there fixed lists?

Is it possible to get two good skills on a single band, like both grand bolide and seism?
>>
is there an easy guide or some sort of plug and play for ENB for stupid people such as myself?
>>
>>148591850
I've only played the first one, which is the one everyone wets their pants over, and found it kind of derivative (but then what western fantasy isn't?), poorly paced, and poorly written. I like the banter, a couple party members (though pretty nearly every other character was either boring or annoying), and the character building, and combat's not bad for a Baldur's Gate style. Things just have a tendency to drag on (heh) way too long. Like, it's super political, but not in the sensible kind of Star Trek way or the engaging sort of Star Wars way, so it just ends up being people talking ad nauseum about doing things that don't make any sense in context; and then when you finally get to the action, that's poorly broken up considering the pause-and-go nature of issuing commands (or you can just set up standing orders for everybody and do next to nothing except position your little figurines for each encounter), so it ends up feeling like every time you're in town you want to get back to combat, and every time you're in combat you want to get back to town.

The real issue for me, though, is just the writing. The plot is full of holes and grandiose fetch quests and mcguffins just to force you to travel the width and breadth of the land for the sake of it, which wouldn't be so bad except the width and breadth of the land outside the like four major hubs is pretty samey. It's also hard to get invested in the lore that they constantly beat you over the head with when like the big magic empire that ruled the world a billion years ago had the exact same architecture and statuary as the modern medieval setting, and lots of other stuff that was clearly just an issue of not having enough time to make more differentiated cultural styles.

It was a pretty admirable attempt at translating a tabletop experience to a computer, but fell shorter than, say, VTMB or some other stuff.

It's not a bad game by any stretch, I just don't think it's good, either.

>>
>>148594930
Nah, godsbane is essentially exactly the same as if you died from any other cause--it just takes you to the retry screen. The only difference I've heard of is that it doesn't count against the number of times you've died in the stats.
>>
>>148595079
Ah, good to know
So, if i save, then purify, and it doesn't get me what i want, can i just godsbane and purify it again?
>>
>>148595280
That doesn't work for purifying items because they are seeded. All of your potential Bitterblack items are determined by a generated list, and upon purification can be one of 3 items based upon you and your pawn's currently assigned vocation, but will always be one of these 3.

It WILL work however for pulling a Bitterblack Armor Lv. 1 out of a chest.

This explains how purification works:
http://dragonsdogma.wikia.com/wiki/Purification

This will show locations of chests with BBI1 armor:

Planning out my arisen's "fashion" set for when i'm high enough level that armor stats don't matter
It needs to be something that fits the following requirements
Looks light
Can be equipped by both a ranger and assassin
Doesn't clash heavily
Must include the mercenary's slogs

Cloaks are optional, but something like the shoulder cape would be preferable
I most likely won't be wearing a headpiece unless it's something like the minstrel's band or the eyepatch

While it would be rude to expect anyone to go to these lengths, please know that any effort is appreciated
Thank you

Just sent back Alexandrine and Octavia (Strider) back.

They both fought valiantly against the Dragon and many other enemies well above their level.
I know it's fairly irrelevant to review Octavia's behavior since she's a red pawn at heart, not really a Strider but she still did really well, she kept those arrows raining and climbed monsters every now and then to slash their shit repeatedly.

Alexandrine did mostly some fairly standard Fighter things except when dealing with airborne enemies, when she proceeded to launch us up.
Pretty nifty skill tbqh, I had never really seen it before but it turned out to be really useful, especially since it wasn't really disruptive, as in she didn't stop attacking to do that exclusively.

All in all very nice pawns, would hire again.

He shows up, it's just that the swordsman and white hawk sets were removed from the PC version because of licensing issues or some shit. Apparently it still exists in the code, but the models were removed and they were removed from the seller's stock. Keep hoping some modfriend will eventually figure out how to put the models from the 360 version into the PC version, but it would supposedly be impossible/really difficult or something.

I know nothing of modding, so I'm just parroting here.

No, I made that outfit for someone else, but I wanted to try it first on my pawn for a short while.
I'm going for an assassin style, more precisely, ninja, since she's supposed to be half asian, half elf. BBI armor is perfect for that, but I haven't had any luck yet.
I had a mod for the Silver Chestplate that made it golden but I like silver too. I might mod it back again.

It's not great but there are worse ones. I dislike the design of quite a few weapons, I dislike almost all of the weapons you get from grigori. They look like fantasy toy weapons you can order online for $50. The Dragon's Dogma sword has literally spikes on the hilt. Weapon designs like that trigger me worse than Keyblades from Kingdom Hearts and make no fucking sense.

Thanks for your review of Octavia, friend.
I'm still training her to be a good fighter. I'm thinking about putting resetting her alignement to get a Mitigator/Pioneer/Utilitarian pawn.
She seems to use her shields bash more than she uses her swords skill. And only use Downcrack on grappled ennemies. Which she would try it on knockdown ennemies too.

Should be interesting.
I've told you this before and I'll say it again, I find it pretty cool that you are making an effort to deviate from a cookie cutter Fighter pawn.
Many people (including myself) just play it safe and aim for a pawn that will spam Dragon's Maw but you like to experiment. I respect that.

>>
>>148624274
>>148624309
What would you replace the mask with? I'm going for an all-red look, but all the sorcer's headgear looks shite.

I'm thinking of toning back the slutty look on Syncia by replacing delta guard with something more wholesome. I like the grave mantle though. Any suggestions?
>>
>>148624139
Okay.
You're obviously going for red clothes for your arisen. In that case, why are you using the Tattered Mantle instead of the Alchemickal Cloak? Also that mask is hideous and clips bad with most hairstyles. Not bad fashion aside from those things.

And you're not trying to be fashionable with your pawn, you're obviosly going for stats there.
Not a terrible fashion despite that, but quite slutty considering she's your daughteru.
>>
>>148624492
I tried alchemical cloak, but personally I prefered a slightly different shade of red, as both the cardinal and alchemical hosens had identical shade. Would have wanted a slightly darker than tattered though. Open to suggestions.
Will lose the mask, thinking of maybe replacing with those monocles? Can't find any good sorcerer headgear.

I need to balance stats with fashion a bit for Syncia since she levelled as sorcerer so she has shit def, plus she's a pawn and not all that clever regarding getting out of attacks. Don't want to spend all my time rezzing rather than casting spells. Plus I think grave mantle looks bretty gud. But yes thinking of toning down the slut by getting rid of delta guards for something else. Show off chest or legs, not both.
>>
>>148624680
Or neither considering she's a child and your 'daughteru'.
>>
>>148624680
If you prefer Tattered Mantle, okay then, but I think the same shade or a darker one, would look better.
Check The Black Cat, it has some hedgear you might like. Specially Wyrmfyre Vizard.

As for your pawn, if you're that desesperate for stats, go for it, but she looks like she might catch a cold with those clothes.
>>
>>148624680
The padded gambeson that barroch sells looks good with the grave mantle in my opinion. As for your headgear, you can't really go wrong with the tried and true adept's hat. The ancient circlet also doesn't look bad and has a good number of defenses.

Syncia still needs work, I looked all over and the only semi-decent hosen I could find were tattered leathers. But still open for suggestion on better leggings. I like the chestplate, I think bare tummy is cute. You guys are just way too conservative with clothing options for lolis.
>>
>>148626054
If you want bare tummy but lookling like less slutty try the Bandages or the Hard Leather Plate.
It covers the top and arms but leaves the belly bare.
It would also looks complimentary with the tattered leather hosen as it uses the same pattern.

Also the answer is yes, the lighter you are the faster you move, longer you can ride harpies (supposedly), and faster your stamina regens (but running also drains it faster; Skills drain them at the same rate afaik).

For stamina bring potages or liquid vim. For Levin bring a ring of violet if you have or can find one. You basically have to get very lucky to not get hit by it otherwise, but that prevents the "thundershocked" status which makes you fall to the ground. Adhesion helps you hit him more constantly if you have it unlocked (it's a secret augment from bitterblack novelties), opportunism is similarly helpful in that it increases attack while climbing.

Player-made pawns you can hire and make your own are one of the biggest aspects in the game so better fork up those shekels goy!

Seriously though, how does the game handle the pawns when offline? I know you can have other players pawns while offline if you hire them online first but the ones the game itself creates?

Is it totally random like just looking how the player is now lvl 60 so it creates a dozen of pawns with random inclis, looks and gear for him to choose or are there some actually handcrafted pawns like Rook?

I just beat him a few days ago as sorcerer.

For some reason focused bolts don't work for me. Like I would always fire off a single normal shot before it starts charging. Plus Daimon is extremely fucking agressive and will fuck your shit up constantly throughout the fight. Auto-targetting is also retarded and won't target his weak spots.

I ended up having to fucking climb the guy as a sorcerer with vim, and spam normal bolts while quad buffed by salomeet's secrets to bring him down. You have no where near the DPS of yellow classes, but with 2.5k base magick buffed to over 5k I was still doing a good chunk of his health bar every hit.

All in all a pathetic display, but a win is a win... For anyone struggling, CLIMB. Don't matter what your class is, at least while you are on him you are safe.

>Like I would always fire off a single normal shot before it starts charging.
That's normal, jump at the same time as you start charging to avoid that and start charging immediately, and start charging again while you're firing one to avoid it without jumping on subsequent casts. You can sprint and jump while charging it.

Blues rely heavily on jumping for utility for some reason, I think it's a combination of the game being made for controllers which have limited buttons and avoiding lag between hitting a button and something happening (since the bolt firing animation would have to not be instant for the game to detect whether you tapped or clicked and held).

You don't really need to target his weakspots with HFB, you don't even need to with ninefold bolt as MA. In the first form he's weak enough it doesn't matter, in the second form his one autotarget spot is also the chest, the weakspot.

Magick Archer.

You can go a lot of different directions with it, all versatile, and you don't end up just doing the same thing over and over like with most vocations since most of its skills have a unique niche use where they excel. Some of the skills, like scension and explosive volley, are really satisfying too. No need for (demon's) periapts for the game's tougher enemies, since it comes with a better buff as a sigil skill.

My only complaint with it is that it's hard for me to decide which skills to equip with only 6 slots. Kind of the opposite of warrior, where it only has 3 but I never know what to grab besides exodus slash and AoD.

Humanoid enemies don't have enough health or defences to warrant the metered catharsis.

> It's me, Arisen!

>>
>>148667178
It couldn't be, because then the cycle would have been broken and none of this would have happened. He also urges you to become the next Seneschal, so he seems to believe pretty strongly in the good of this cycle. I think him pulling his Godsbane out of his chest was just a poorly chosen narrative tool.
>>
>>148666269
The Seneschal pulls the sword out of their chest to hand to you. It's the standard reaction. We will never know the true significance of it since the story was never finished, though. It obviously doesn't break the cycle since afterward you become your pawn in another world and it all happens again, but it also obviously isn't necessary for the bestowal of spirit, since that happens to Selene at an arbitrary point while her Arisen is not Seneschal.

>>148666316
Seems that way, though again, not everything is tied together well. It seems that even the Church doesn't know the whole truth, as well.

Personally I'm most curious about what actually happened to the Dragonforged. He says that he became the way he is, half-living and scorched by dragonflame, because he made an effort to have no beloved, which begs the question of what the Dragon actually did with him. I've heard the theory that the kingdom in which Grigori fights you is that of the Dragonforged, which he failed to protect.

>>148667653
>The Seneschal pulls the sword out of their chest to hand to you. It's the standard reaction.

I don't think that's possible. Had he Godsbane'd himself and died he would have been unable to send the dragon, which wouldn't have eaten the PC's heart, and none of the game's events would have occurred. The entire point of the ending is that you defy the titular Dragon's Dogma and I don't think they are going to undermine that. Again, I think him pulling it out of his chest is just a poorly chosen, stylistic way of him retrieving a cool magic sword. I also don't think that NG+ is literally meant to be your Pawn in your body in a new cycle. It's just a fun gameplay mechanic with some easter eggs.
>>
>>148668483
He only does that if his affinity is low. Maybe you should try being less of a jackass and shoving him every time you ran into the duke's demesne and he wouldn't, you know, think you were a jackass. For me last time he had a long speech about how he didn't want to fight me and believed me innocent but was also sworn under oath to obey the duke and could not defy orders, and asked for forgiveness.
>>
>>148668735
>I don't think that's possible. Had he Godsbane'd himself and died he would have been unable to send the dragon
What aren't you getting? You don't die when you Godsbane yourself. Someone else has to do it. That's why he pulls it out of his chest, where he left it, and hands it to you to put it back so he can finally die.
>>
>>148668483
>mfw massacring legions of the Duke's guards
>>
>>148668901
>You don't die when you Godsbane yourself.
You do, though. That's what the ending is about. The player's Arisen ends this great eternal cycle by sudokuing with the Godsbane, leaving no Seneschal behind. There will be no more dragons and no more Arisens and no more Seneschals.
>>
>>148668483
> ser assblaster.png

Maybe Maximilian has a point about the villianary
>>
>>148669368
That is a pretty good point
>>
>>148669368
Yet there clearly are. If you play offline your Arisen becomes the Seneschal in NG+, and if you play online it's a random Arisen who defeated the Seneschal, as they were when they did. When you do Godsbane yourself, your pawn descends to Cassardis in some world, taking on your physical form. The previous Seneschal, whether it's Savan or your Arisen or another player, pulls a Godsbane out of their chest to hand you to slay them despite the fact that you get a Godsbane for defeating the Dragon. It's also the blindingly obvious recourse when you are stuck with the position of Seneschal, which clearly no Seneschal is enthusiastic about, since they all beg for death, even as they hand you the sword THEY JUST PULLED FROM THEIR CHEST so that YOU, AS SENESCHAL can slay them, rather than doing it themselves, even though you also already have a Godsbane.

Absolutely everything except the text of that achievement, which on the contrary probably refers to gameplay rather than lore (godsbaning allows you to enter NG+, thus escaping being the Seneschal and only able to wander two cities invisible forever), implies that the Seneschal cannot actually kill themselves and that it is common for them to try.

Apart from which the Seneschal is not synonymous with the Maker. Seneschal means servant, which is referenced numerous times. The Seneschal is only a caretaker or steward of the world that answers to the Maker. If they COULD escape the yoke of eternity in truth, which would be because the Maker allowed them to, the Maker could probably still maintain the cycle the same way the Seneschal does when there is no Dragon.
>>
>>148669368
Has that been explained by the "word of god"?

I remember some user theorizing that a Seneschal who Godsbanes himself actually just causes the pawn to become human, while he himself has to live a life of solitude as a "god" till someone takes his place.

I also remember that Savan basically didn't have his pawn with him anymore when the arisen gets there, the one you fight is just something that Savan creates in image of his previous pawn.

So basically Savan did the same thing the player does with the exact same consequences.

Also a further hint is in the original song chosen to be the theme song, Into Free -Dangan-. Whether the song inspired the plot of the game or it was chosen merely due to the similarity, the final verse seems to describe the plot accurately.

>The wave is pushing me, into the current again
>I feel the blood in my veins
>Diving into free, can feel it letting go
>Not gonna hit the ground
>The sky is painted free, why can't we understand
>We kill ourselves in the end

Note the line, "Why can't we understand/We kill ourselves in the end." It's just one more part of the Dragon's Dogma.

Again, I don't think that NG+ is anything but a gameplay mechanic with some fun easter eggs, like the Seneschal thing at the end. If it were to reflect a new cycle, you wouldn't get that scene at the very end where your pawn cucks you with your Beloved. I also don't think that Savan disliked his duty as Seneschal. He's vague, but mentions that eventually a Seneschal is unable to perform their duty and so sends forth a dragon and recruit a new Arisen, who will eventually become a new Seneschal, etc. All of the story achievements reference story events, so I don't see why that singular one would be different, especially when every moment up to it is hammering "the world exists in an eternal cycle" into your skull.

There's also this loading screen, that appears after you Godsbane yourself. It says your consciousness fades into black. You are dying. More importantly, it mentions the pride you feel for penning your own end to your tale. In other words, you didn't allow your story to end as Savan's (and presumably every Seneschal before him) did, as a servant in this never ending cycle. You kill yourself to defy the Dragon's Dogma and end the cycle. You escape the yoke of eternity.

>I also don't think that Savan disliked his duty as Seneschal. He's vague, but mentions that eventually a Seneschal is unable to perform their duty and so sends forth a dragon and recruit a new Arisen, who will eventually become a new Seneschal, etc.
He begs to die and be set free. The Dragon has also been coming every generation or two for millennia since Savan became Seneschal, it's not something that just happens. Most Arisen either die on their quest and become lesser dragonkin or sacrifice their Beloved like Edmun.

The closest to someone actually breaking the Dragon's Dogma successfully is Ashe, who took the deal to sacrifice his beloved and wished for the power to break the cycle and oppose the gods. Presumably, given time and that nobody stopped him, Bitterblack Isle would have consumed Arisen until worlds began to die to entropy from the cycle stagnating.

>It says your consciousness fades into black. You are dying.
Whoa dude, have you never slept in your life? Your consciousness fading to black doesn't mean you're dying. If anything it probably means you cease to be a thinking being as the Seneschal and become a force of nature, your consciousness transferring to your pawn in the bestowal of spirit.

It also says a body washes ashore, cleansed by the surf. Your body, or rather your pawn's body (and spirit) reshaped to resemble yours.

You're grasping at straws, scraping together the two or three pieces of evidence that you actually break the cycle which really only ambiguously or half-support that claim, in the face of the overwhelming mountain of evidence that godsbaning yourself is just another step in the cycle. The developers didn't just include countless nods to this fact accidentally, each one is deliberate. Someone had to animate the Seneschal pulling the godsbane from their chest and someone had to write his lines. The reason it is never really explained is that the game was very obviously never finished before being released.

He wants to be freed because he's no longer able to do his Seneschal duty for whatever reason. He outlines this very clearly in his dialog, if you go through all the options. Eventually the Seneschal has to be replaced. He wants to be replaced because he values the cycle

>Your consciousness fading to black doesn't mean you're dying.

Dude, come on. You're Seneschal at this point. You just stabbed yourself with a Seneschal-killing sword. You just killed a Seneschal with this same method. What other interpretation could there be?

>You're grasping at straws, scraping together the two or three pieces of evidence

Really, man? All you've got is Savan taking the sword out from his body, which could easily be a stylistic device, and a tiny part of the very end of the narrative-conflicting NG+. And that doesn't even happen if you're online.

Dude, come on. You're Seneschal at this point. You just stabbed yourself in the chest with your Seneschal-killing sword. But the last Seneschal pulled his own, different Seneschal-killing sword out of his chest before you stabbed him with it. What other interpretation could there be?

At this point I'm pretty convinced you're just being intentionally dense. Best case scenario is that you're being intentionally dense to protect your headcanon because cyclical settings are depressing to you, and I guess I can understand that, but still.

Right back at you, friend. I can see the frustration is making you devolve into personal insults, so I'll just agree to disagree and move along. A final piece of advice, though: Don't get see the Matrix movies. You'll blow a gasket.

One possible interpration of the "Dogma" is that the Seneschal is just that : a high-ranking servant in the service of a lord. There are multiple mentions of beasts coming from "beyond the rift". Meaning beyond the multiple parallel worlds that are bound within the Eternal Ring.

Savan was the overseer of your world. And you are inheriting your world from the hands of Savan. When you break the cycle of Eternal Return, you leave a void "beyond the rift" that could be filled by a beast, a Seneschal from another world or even something that is above the Seneschal.

Pawns comment that hellhounds are "watchdogs from the infernal beyond". If we take into account that the rift is a "plane" from where the Myrmidons are born into existene, a "plane" that is inhabited that the Seneschal, a "plane" that is marking the boundaries of each parralel world, there could also exist and infernal dimension, or a chaotic dimension.

Dragon's Dogma world is heavily influenced by Buddhist religion. Maybe someone could look for interpretion in it.

There's two easily accessible chests I'd godsbane on for them, then once I had both kill Daimon and save and godsbane to make sure I got the 66% lvl 3 in the one in the room after his fight. The first is in Bloodless Stockade, the third to last area before Daimon. Go down the spiral staircase where everything is pitch black, and once you're in the sewer channel turn left. There's a room there past a shitterfall with some leapworms in it, kill them, save and open the chest. If it's a mimic and it doesn't drop the lv.3 weapon I recommend going back to the previous area to reset mimic spawns because it'll make it take way longer to farm. Otherwise godsbane until you get a weapon lv.3, then save and go to the next area. In the fallen city, the last area before Daimon (two areas after the Stockade), stick to the eastern edge (you can jump across the roofs to avoid eliminators/living armours if you're a blue or yellow) and get the chest that's on a lower level between two taller buildings, again saving first and then resetting as the weapon is a low chance. This chest also usually has 5000 to 10000 RC in it, so it's good to farm if you're low and not getting hires. The far left chest in Daimon's room has a weapon 66% of the time, again save just in case though you'll usually get it.

Death can also drop them but it's a very low chance and he's somewhat slow and tedious to farm and gives you a lot of experience so you'll level up super fast which may be undesirable.

Doesn't he basically explain to you that living beings are too shitty to have willpower of their own (or at least one strong enough) so everyone needs to collectively suck it from the current Seneschal till he runs dry?

>>
>>148686412
He says he was telling you those things to test your resolve. Grigori tells you, and it's implied by the fact that you defeat the Seneschal at all, that humans produce willpower of their own accord. It's all ripped off of/inspired by/an homage to Berserk anyway, which has strong running themes of determinism vs human free will, with Guts and the Skull Knight appearing to have the willpower to fight for their own destiny despite the God's Hand believing the world to generally be deterministic in nature.
>>
>>148671416
>>148686745
Several helmets go down when you're in the field or in battle and go up when in towns or out of combat, so it would probably have been feasible to have hoods work the same way. I'm sure they planned for it but ran out of time, like maybe 80% of the other features of the game. Considering how much they finished it's actually sort of impressive, Dragon's Dogma is the most deep and well-developed blatantly unfinished game I've ever played. Skyrim for instance was probably about 60% done and it's a pale shadow next to the maybe 20% done Dragon's Dogma.

You can also just stay hidden. He only notices you after spawning if his lantern falls on you (or one of your pawns). If you stay behind a wall and keep your pawns close, he'll literally just look around for a minute or two, then say "fuck it, I'm bored," and rift out.

He makes lots of allusions to what the Seneschal does but there's not much in the way of specifics. Either the world, or its people, or the eternal cycle itself draws sustenance from that in some way and he is diminished for it. Definitely there exist people will their own will, though. He says as much:

>What is will?
>Will is that which led you to this place, and that which turns the eternal wheel of the world.
>Along the endless string of life and death, there are some born with a hunger.
>They yearn for some other, better place.

Unsurprisingly these people often become Arisen, which he also mentions:

>They are the Arisen, nascent fountainheads of will.

He's referring to the new Zelda fampai.

No spears for you yet.
>>
>>148687304
No, he's the world-steward. He keeps things running aright and through the cyclical coming of the dragon and the cycle of eternal return tests those of great willpower to see which shall be the next Seneschal, and then "tempers their will," giving them the drive to truly fill the role correctly. He also is supposed to eventually "craft the will to live," though that's somewhat vague. He basically straight up says you won't be the one to do this but will await one like yourself and temper their will in turn until eventually the individual fit to do this comes along.

However, he also claims the will to live is the source of willpower to begin with, the same way Grigori does, and Grigori is actually far more insightful in this regard, clarifying that mankind's willpower is more strange in that many men instead welcome death with arms outstretched or will stand against death incarnate arms in hand- In other words, mankind does not fear death like base animals do, but instead embraces willpower as its own unique force for its own sake and will often face certain death with acceptance or anger instead of fear.

Basically each Seneschal makes sure his successor is better than him in the hopes that eventually one will come with enough willpower to do... Something. Presumably at some point endless cycles ago humans were naught but animals crawling on their bellies fearing death, and the cycle is what has brought them into a nuanced culture pursuing ambitions with great passion that have little or nothing to do with base survival.

>>148688430
I don't really care either way about javelins but spears as a melee weapon are top tier and underused even in that capacity. It's one of the biggest things I like about Dark Souls is how well spears play and how they have many of the advantages real spears do. They were the most important and powerful military technology basically until steel plate was invented and with it flintlocks and matchlocks to punch holes in it. There's a kind of romance to that apart from the simple and impressive aesthetic and the joy of stabbing fuckboys with a massive needle.

>The Dragonforged shows why spears may not be the best for DDDA.
Not really, any weapon he had would have been destroyed. Have you seen his fucking hands? Pretty sure he's also the Arisen mentioned in Eternal Return, in the second verse:
Pitiful man whom death has undone,
Leaned upon a broken blade, looks too, skyward.
Prithee above (Almighty One) Be this thy word?
Cried out, begged for truth but no answer's sound be heard.
Yet, now he sees the dragon's dogma,
Unbound by time; all-binding, grand design.

Pretty much just further proof that hoplites are the coolest.

>>148690558
Those bandits are actually pretty neato. One of them amusingly tells you that their leader is a lesbian but could probably go for a guy if he was a twink. If you're a girl or crossdress convincingly they're somewhat cagey but generally friendly and the leader will talk with you and give you quests.

>>148690805
Yeah, fighter is stronger no doubt but the bitter end looks really fucking slick and the devil's bane or whatever it's called is super tacky. Warrior is more fun imo despite being simple and somewhat weak, too.

Do note that basically any weapon is strong once goldforged, even rusted (which also applies torpor, making it extremely powerful, somewhat counterintuitively). Goldforging means even with weapons you have some leeway to go for fashion.

Doesnt seem to be strong enough.

I really like Silver Rapier's look but looking at wikia it only has 789 str once gold'd while Edgelord's Bane for you has 1200 without any forging and 1848 while gold'd.

Seeing as how these weapons look though... maybe i should just go and make my pawn into a strider or ranger despite being fighter/warrior for 100levels as hell.. yellow weapons really look kinda neat and not that edgelordy at all.

My pawn was supposed to be sort of crazy short climber at start anyway but warriors just pommel shit and fighters dont seem to do it that much.

Does the shield strength influence anything other than the damage they do if they hit enemies with the shield? Like blocking or can you block cyclops mace and shit just as well with unenchanted rusty shield than with BBI edgelords spikes outta ass shield?

I am conflicted with this game, it almost at times seems like a bland mmo, but then again its so fucking comfy engine and comfortable combat, even if the weapon selection is small.

Fucking hell this needed a sequel.

Anyway first time playing and really loving it.
>>
>>148704726
Yep, they can come from all of them! Either have pawns you can trust or play MA and use immolation to open chests.
>>
>>148704365
MA can't really muster good dark damage since kunai are early/midgame weapons and great sacrifice, while extremely strong, eats pawns. just tried great sacrifice on daimon, took off 3.5 bars Also grand scension is kinda tough to fit on a skill set, unless you drop immolation or thousand kisses, which is a big sacrifice in melee either way, and hunter bolt kinda sucks. Fire, shock and ice are covered much more than adequately, though, and almost everything takes at least neutral damage from one of those.

Not bad for a solo. Actually took longer than doing it with sanctuary (and sinew) instead of bloodlust and autonomy, since it was a lot harder to grab him without getting killed. With sanctuary most things he does, including the arm swipes, don't damage me or only do one damage. Also discovered bracer arrow prevents thundershock from levin and knockup from frigor and comestion.

>>148708303
You're not really supposed to fight him the first time you see him. It's supposed to be an "oh shit what did you do" thing if you attack him. Later with max level BBI weapons he ain't shit though.

Speaking of shitty MMOs, what are the chances that DD2, if it happens, is going to be littered with multiplayer mechanics? Or would the creator not allow that?

I already cleared it, just wondering if it was supposed to take long because I sat there for a good 10 minutes trying to get a clear shot on the helmet strap and the next 20 trying to Great Gamble the eye while all my pawns were being useless.
I did it with the longbow from Grigori but the whole debacle was really trying my patience.
the last two Great Gambles I did landed square in the eye and I don't think I've gotten an erection bigger than when I saw like 2 full life bars get shredded like that from one arrow though

Quite the opposite. I find Dark element to the most useful in the game simply for torpor. It also helps that it's strong against all human enemies, which include bandits, guards and BBI's pawns.

It's as useful as any other element in terms of targeting weaknesses. Maelstrom is generally the strongest nuke, and dark element technically does the most damage in general because every several hits it meets a threshold that's different for each enemy and crits, multiplying the hit including the dark damage and any physical by a large amount.

The biggest things working against dark, I'd say, are that awakened daimon and the ur-dragon are both weak to holy, holy focused bolts home instantly while dark bolts are slow (but way cooler), and one of the blue classes, Magick Archer, doesn't even get a dark option that's feasible for everyday use.

>>148713413

It's only an aneled meniscus. Like all aneled weapons it looks bad because it's retextured as just flat shiny black, isn't that useful because it's an early-midgame weapon that just has tarring on it, and you can't sell it for gold.

Magick is also insane, a little slower because of chargeup time but much safer and feels faster since when it's dealing damage it's dealing it faster. My base strength and magick are like 410 and 470 respectively, so not that much difference.

Oddly despite having 50%, 20%, 20%, 10% and possibly another 20% (from bloodlust, night on BBI is weird) boosts to magick on top of quad rebalancers I didn't have before with only the quad rebalancer I only did about half a bar more with great sacrifice. Everything else was greatly boosted over what I'm used to with just 20, 10 and four magick rebalancers, so it's not that I'm hitting some kind of cap. Either great sacrifice has a damage cap (which would be super gay) or I hit the head before but not this time or something. Real shame, I was hoping for a oneshot or something close to it.

This one starts a healthbar in because I didn't want to lower the bitrate further and had to heal at that point from an ingle.

Does defence wraparound at a really low value? I thought it was a little odd that the few things that Daimon's second form could do to me that actually did appreciable damage and in fact took out all my health from about 25% with sanctuary were all magic-based when I have over 1k magic defence and much more than physical, while his arm swipes for instance did 1 damage. But without sanctuary, I only take ~300 damage from his ingles, which would oneshot me before, even while most physical shit damages me more. Kind of bizarre.

Anyway, didn't feel like restarting the run to make it cleaner. Might do it later for a more satisfying webm.

You get Selene's and Barnaby's outfits by completing Speedrun mode, though it doesn't matter what your time is.

That said, there's not a lot of point in taking your time, because you don't keep anything (xp, gold, or loot) from speedrun mode playthroughs. (You also don't lose anything you use in that mode, so feel free to makers finger your way through everything.)

cart quest goes a lot faster if you kick it over and over while spamming party healing items

also go max height and weight for run speed+carry weight for all the shit youll need on the entire run (blast arrows, periapts, etc) while remaining very light with a lot of stamina, sinew helps. I recommend using autonomy and no pawns. My best time is 36:00 on the second, but even then I made a load of mistakes and even dawdled at one point to save fournival in case I needed a second maker's finger.

The everfall stuff should be giftable since it's part of the vanilla game. The only reason BBI stuff isn't is so they could keep vanilla DD and DDDA on the same pawn servers back on cahnsul. Basically same story with the DLC equipment.
>>
>>148743183
A lot of everfall stuff is nongiftable with DA despite being in the base game and having been tradeable before DA. I think it's to keep people from giving new players overpowered shit and breaking the game for them. I don't know if it applies to armour or just weapons though.

I want to like this game, I really do, but I feel so directionless right now. And some of the quests seem buggy (especially if you explored an area before it was a quest objective).

Right now I'm on the "Land of Opportunity" quest and have to talk to Jasper after chasing/catching that kid Pip. No quest marker in the town, so I leave the city. Quest marker says to go back to the city, so I go inside. I've run EVERYWHERE in the city now to no avail.

Sometimes NPCs walking around have yellow/red quest block things above their head and I talk to them. Nothing happens. Sometimes my Pawns have those, too, but when I talk to them it's their generic bullshit.

Also I changed my class to Mystic Knight and the blocking stuff feels kind of pointless/shitty but when it does work well it's neat. Just nowhere as useful as the starting class I had with the daggers/bow

I feel like I should just try to start over again from the start or something in regards to the bugged quest. I wish the game had a bit more direction... I did an escort quest that took me to a new area that I could not progress in the other day and had to do some massive backtracking.

what do
>>
>>148744372
Land of Opportunity is not bugged, Jasper is just an NPCC that is not at Gran Soren all the time. Wait for Sunset or early in the morning, he's usually around the Town Crier.

Yellow question mark block above NPCs head means that they have information relative to one of your quest. In the case of the Arsmith, the tavernkeeper, it means he's the one guy you need to give stuff to, for exemple. It could also be a NPC who has informations about where to find herbs or stuff like that. Red question mark blocks above NPCs head means that they have info about your SELECTED quest, the one you follow in your journal.

Listen to your pawns comment. They usually have some insight about how to handle situations or where to go.

Mystic Knight is a hybrid class between melee and magic that specialize in Perfect blocking attacks (defending at the very last moment) to activate magical effect. They can buff the party with enchants and can be either melee or ranged.

Take your time, don't do every escort quests but try to do any side quests you get from villagers.
>>
>>148744372
>No quest marker in the town, so I leave the city. Quest marker says to go back to the city, so I go inside. I've run EVERYWHERE in the city now to no avail.
Jasper is a shit. His schedule takes him out of the city in the mornings, he gets back around noon. He doesn't actually exist outside of the city, though. So wait around the town square until about noon and he'll show up.

If not, after a few days your pawn might suggest you just pay for the land, in which case you can go to Fournival and buy it off him so the family can keep living there. If you do this they'll give you some moderate rewards. Ironically this has an eventual outcome you wouldn't expect, but I won't spoil it.

>Sometimes NPCs walking around have yellow/red quest block things above their head and I talk to them. Nothing happens. Sometimes my Pawns have those, too, but when I talk to them it's their generic bullshit.
That's odd, they're supposed to comment on quests (the currently active quest, in the case of pawns and folks with red bubbles). I've never seen them fail to.

>Also I changed my class to Mystic Knight and the blocking stuff feels kind of pointless/shitty but when it does work well it's neat.
Every class is shitty at first. I'm not personally a huge fan of MK, but do you have great cannon yet? Get blessed riposte, great cannon and set up two cannons and then parry something on them. It's only reliable when you have no pawns but it's satisfying and devastating when it works. Basically each cannon sends out 3 magic bolts each time it's stricken, and blessed riposte does about 50 AOEs in front of you in a couple of seconds, so... You do the maths.
>>
So what ITEMS do pawns use exactly if given?

I've noticed they will throw most shit that can be thrown from skulls to bombs BUT will they also use those spellbooks and scrolls if given to them?

Also how about MATERIALS? There's some materials that can be used straight away so will they use those too if given or are stuff that goes into MATERIALS-category safe?
>>
>>148745470
I know they use most throwables, including oil flasks but I've yet to see one use jewels or scrolls. I also have a hard time making rented pawns use blast arrows.
>>
>>148745470
I've never seen them use curatives labeled as materials and a quick search of a few off the top of my head on the wiki shows that each has a note saying pawns won't use them. Pawns also won't use the very top tier healing items, like auspicious incense, from BBI. That can be a good or a bad thing depending on how you look at it. They have some sort of system, though I don't know the mechanical details, for using most consumables/throwables based on some kind of "threat level." Utilitarians are more likely to use items. Utilitarian primaries will often use blast arrows on Daimon, Condemned Gorecyclopes and groups of Eliminators for instance, but very little else, and non-utilitarians will almost never use blast arrows. I imagine tomes and scrolls are similar, but I've never seen a pawn use one that I can remember.
>>
>>148745745
>but I've yet to see one use jewels or scrolls
So i can probably safely stow those away for them.

Really hate the flask thing-
At one time i went out exploran at night, gave my pawn couple of oil flasks so they dont weight me down and once lantern ran off whoopity doo the pawn had thrown all the flasks on random goblins!
>>
When the armor says, "extend duration of enemy holds", it means that I use less stamina when holding onto an enemy right?
>>
>>148745141
>>148745207
Jasper was definitely bugged in my game; I had tried sleeping until morning / running around until night. I looked at the big google doc and saw you could force him to spawn by leaving the city, save and quit to title, and then go back in. Worked like a charm.

As far as MK combat goes... I've tried playing around with it like that but the results have always been meh. Feels too slow and seems to highlight the slow pacing of many enemy types.

I found The Black Cat right now and I'm contemplating buying a weapon from him (I somehow have almost 300,000 G)... any suggestions? Or just don't buy from him at all and use what I have until I find these elsewhere?

Was originally planning on trying a Geralt-inspired character to start off as Strider and then run Mystic Knight but now I'm not so sure. I think Strider -> Assassin would have been more of my cup of tea.

>>148746394
Assassin is probably the most geralt-y class. Certainly the only one where having a sword that isn't fuckhuge and no secondary weapon is pretty viable, its shield and bow skills are nothing amazing and the sword gets a timed block/parry skill that is very powerful, and a multihit skill like hundred kisses but with a sword that is pretty witcher. Also gets bombs you can place, lay a fuse and then detonate remotely, a great skill that does a lot of damage when climbing on enemies and using it to make up for the lack of thousand kisses and dagger assassins' general weakness when climbing compared to striders and magick archers, and the standard onehanded sword skills. You'll only have three skills that way though.

Why wouldn't I want to use the secondary weapon? Weight/Stamina advantage?

>>148747441
Because Geralt using a shortbow or shield seems off. You could do it, of course. Sword+bow ass is pretty popular I think.
>>
>>148747187
I have been using dagger + bow as Sin almost exclusively. Am I gimping myself?
>>
>>148745470
I've never seen them use scrolls or magic orbs but they use periapts. That said I've only really noticed them using them for the tougher enemies in BBI. The only thing I wouldn't risk giving them is panaceas or other full status cures since sometimes they'll just stand in a puddle and blow through the whole lot of them.
>>

Not really. Even dagger and shield is alright, though your daggers will always clip your shield.

>>148749379
You can probably hack it through as Strider-10/Assassin-90, but you're going to be extremely fragile, even moreso on hardmode: assassin has some of the worst defense stats growth in the game. Even at level 100, a strong breeze would be likely to kill you.

That said, you will have access to counterattack skills that will enable you to avoid damage when you're hit, so it's not impossible. Just stay out of the aggro attention of ranged enemies and mages.

>>148749584
I really don't understand the antipathy towards acquisitor on /ddg/. Once your stats/equipment are pretty good, you don't have to worry about one or two people occasionally taking a three second break from battle, and having an automated loot vacuum is extremely useful. Sure, you probably don't want it as your primary, and it'd be more useful to have a secondary attack inclination or utilitarian, but as long as you hit a pawn chair whenever acquisitor reaches secondary and push it down that way you should probably be fine.
>>
just started playing this and finished going through everfall and while i'm enjoying myself, i have to ask:

was there something that was supposed to tip you off towards retreating in everfall? because i must have been fighting the tentacle fuckers for at least 5 minutes until i finally asked my friend who recommended the game to me who then told me that i had to run away
>>
>did a visible amount of damage to the ur-dragon

>>148751342
Pawns with quest knowledge tell you to run back and I think the quest objective tells you to report back to Barnaby too.
>>
>>148751138
>I really don't understand the antipathy towards acquisitor on /ddg/
Well honestly my biggest problem with it is that my pawn is light-weight so it's detrimental for her to loot shit up.

I'd rather do it myself so i can quickly without changing the inventory menu to throw all that to some hired pawn i dont give much of a shit about instead.

>>
>>148751138
Acquisitor keeps pawns from being useful so they can open chests, potentially preventing you from save scumming them for good shit, and leaving the pawn weighed down with a bunch of garbage. You end up with shit like being stomped by an eliminator while someone's cow says, "oh, what's this?" and opens a chest to get mimicked on.

do mage/sorcerer pawns have any learned behaviors like perfect blocking or springboarding for warriors?
>>
>>148751965
I think you can teach them to stop casting and jump/levitate out of harm way.
>>
>>148749379

If you are going to go hard mode unlock Warrior and Mystic Knight for their defensive augments. Trust me, you are going to want them. Both augments are rank 1 so you don't have to level as that class at all. Get the one from Warrior first.

Between hard mode and leveling as just an assassin, those two augments will seriously be a life saver.

what about the other stuff? Worth getting or don't worry about until much later?

Warrior's Ferocity (Rank 3) looks pretty useful, for example.

>>148726267
I'd play it if i had a pc that could handle it

>>148751342
Besides your pawns telling you to git, the quest will also update with "report back to barnaby" as soon as the tentacles start spawning. I'll admit that it could be clearer, though. I spent like twenty minutes hacking away at tentacles, myself.

(To be fair, I left the country for like a year and a half in the middle of that fight, so I had a bit of an excuse for being extra dense when I finally came back to it.)

>>148751823
Warrior gets decent def and the best HP growth in the game, as well as the second highest attack growth (after assassin). Sorcerer gets the highest Mdef growth. Fighter gets good HP and the highest Def growth. Magick Archer's another good choice, as it gives you the second highest def AND mdef growth in the game, but the attack/matk and HP/stam growths are kind of mediocre.

A lot of people like throwing in warrior for adding survivability to their builds, but it's kinda up to you. It's really hard to make a build that outright sucks in this game, even on hard mode, since endgame equipment tends to make up the difference. The only really good recommendation for a first timer is not to lock yourself in a single class for the entire game (that'll compound the class's weaknesses), but otherwise not worry about builds and play what's fun.

>>148751904
I kept my main pawn's primary inclination as Acquisitor through my first 750-hour playthrough, and I can probably count the number of times she OR I had any issues because of it on one hand. I mean, I definitely see the potential for annoyances, I just feel like the actual benefit of not having to manually scoop everything up, as well as not losing rare drops I can't get to in time, more than makes up for the limited problems I actually experienced.

Personal preference, though.
>>
>>148726267
Is DDO any better or worse than DDDA?
>>
>>148752716
Ferocity is nice, but you're going to get most of your DPS out of skills, anyway (unless you're playing warrior, in which case your DPS is jump attack), so once you've unlocked most of the augments, ferocity is one you can pretty easily let go of.

If you're planning on taking your character up towards level 100 or beyond, though, you can pretty easily get all the augments without sinking many levels in classes you aren't interested in. My pawn's taken sorcerer to rank 7 (of 9) (god damn it star trek) between levels 30 and 33, and while the exp necessary to level up increases exponentially, the amount of discipline points necessary to rank up from 0 to 9 in any given vocation stays the same for the whole game. Just a question of how much time you want to spend with those classes (and tbqh, there's a post-game exploit where you can farm high dcp and low exp really easily).

Honetly as long as you have fun all is good.
Try to keep in mind that the usual level someone finish the game for the first time is between level 55 to 75, without doing BBI content.

Knowing this, you could think about doing, I dunno, for example 20 level as strider, 15 level as warrior/fighter and when you feel like it switch off to assassin until the end.

Keep it simple, don't overthink things.

I usually don't give a damn about people using the black and blue knight armor.
I've never seen anyone wearing the jester outfit.
I sometimes saw Madeleine cosplay, but they are rather rare.

And finally, do NOT equip your pawn with the Princess Dress.
I mean you could do it but everyone and their mother use this robe just because of the stats and it means that a big propention of waifubait pawn on the rift are equiped with the pink dress, meaning clawing your eyes out everytime you look for a good looking pawn.

In short, nothing can stop you from using DLC armors, but you'll get no fashion points.

>>148758136
>pic related
>>
>>148763369
Princess dress is the most hated because it's tacky looking and EVERYONE uses it starting out I think. I like the look of the vagabond armour and it isn't too distinctive to Barroch in my opinion, same with the robes of enlightenment (which are part of Olra's outfit).

I'm sure some people frown on it simply because it's good shit earlygame that you get for free, but apart from madeleine's outfit, the nun outfit, the princess outfit and I think one I'm forgetting, plus the male equivalents, I don't mind the DLC armours.

Dress for fashion and don't overlook what you can buy from vendors, though. I still wear a few earlygame pieces in most of my sets. I, and I'm sure many others here, prefer hiring pawns with good fashion to ones with good equipment stats.
>>
>>148763369
Not nearly as much as the full outfit DLC armors you get in storage once you reach Gran Soren, but yeah, some people will do mean things to your pawn if you upload him while wearing them. In terms of general objectionability, it seems to be:

Everything else >> Starting storage DLC items >>> Nun/Abbot/Reynard outfit >> Voldoan > Madeleine >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>[...etc.]> PRITTY PRENCESS

There's an RC calculator in the OP. I used a pilgrim's charm and then great sacrificed my own pawn to boost the exp and thus rc gain.

The gulf in defensive stats between the DLC armor and the starting armor is pretty immense. I would refrain from using them just to keep things spicy.

Maybe you could give them to your pawn to make up for their relative lack of self-preservation.

>>148766562
The Gouge series of skills works the same as Kisses when you're climbing on a monster.

iirc, it's really brutal too. Instead of slashing repeatedly, you just stab the sword into the monster, and pressing the button jerks the blade around so as to tear open the wound.
>>
>>148766562
It's not actually on-par with hundred kisses, it just functions similarly on the ground. That's Great Windmill. While climbing monsters it gets a skill that can do high, continuous damage to them with a sword, gouge, that is similar to HK/TK (it gets a BBI upgrade from dire gouge to deadly gouge) in that regard but much less useful on the ground.

Clairvoyance is basically a must-have if you're going without a shield, it gives you about a second of parry frames after its use where if an enemy hits you it negates their damage and makes you counterattack with something like a better compass slash. Gouge is must-have if you plan on climbing but otherwise your other two sword skills are totally up to preference I'd say.

Because it's cute and the "nude" colouration is pretty poor and unrealistic. Better to cover it with makeup than look like you're made out of a single colour of modeling clay imo.

Sent Octavia back, no idea how many RC she got though, level discrepancy n all. She's been alright, a bit fragile for BBI though, but she does usually distract them long enough until my arisen and main pawn can finish a double grand seism and level the entire room.

Recommend the plated coat over the riveted coat. I think the white looks better matching her existing gear.

>>
>>148774073
Thanks for the rent, cos.
I know about the plated coat, I'm about to spend some time designing different fashions before embarking on BBI. I was mostly wondering if her skills combo worked well together.

Broad slash and hindsight sweep for mobility and low-stamina usage, downcrack for big damage on knockdown foes, perfect defense for tanking and sheltered assault for the bread and butter.

Hmm didn't pay attention to her damage output. Probably didn't get to do much dmg between 2 sorcerers and a very good strider pawn I rented. But she does seem to attract attention which is good.

The biggest problem I had with her was when fighting a frostwyrm. She doesn't seem to want to get out of the spell targetting zones, and an ice speel from a frostwyrm will pretty much OHKO her. Maybe she just needs more knowledge.

Not that guy but from what I understand, pawn AI is notoriously bad at dealing with BBI Drakes, Wyrms and Wyverns so that probably just can't be avoided, I'm afraid.

BBI sort of feels shit in general, from Gorecyclops to Cursed Dragons with pawns being retarded it feels like a shitty spin-off or quick cash-in on the popularity of Dank Souls.

I feel just the opposite, it's far better and more polished and complete than the base game which was a quick cash-in on the popularity of "everything that came out in 2011 plus SotC."

Pawns usually handle anything alright as long as you know how to use the three commands and they have a utilitarian inclination.

In my experience MK is pretty weak in general since most of its damage is split most of the time and it attacks with hundreds of tiny pellets from great cannons instead of large, threshold-breaking hits. It's not even like daggers where later on they're strong enough they easily break thresholds anyway.

On the other hand ranger is really fun and really strong. All the yellow vocations are really strong and fun in fact.
