Anyone on 360 have a high level mage? Seems like every single one of my friends decided they want a warrior pawn. Seriously. On my friends list I have 1 mage, 1 strider, and 9 fighters/warriors. I sent friend requests to a few people on the spreadsheet but hadn't got a response on any of them.

Mad Dragon posted:Coincidentally enough, I just switched Dawana to fighter after maxing out Mage ranks. If you feel like killing her again, feel free. Well she lived just fine this time. Gave her some armor, but didn't have any decent weapons after that, so I threw in a level 3 BB weapon. Hope it's something good!

Dang, I thought I would be able to postpone doing the whole inclination elixir thing until much later, but after having my Guardian-inclined "tank" pawn be completely useless at tanking (of course I was a low-ranked sorcerer which added to the fun), I had to make changes. Good thing I still had a bunch of RC left over from whatever horrible things Hotwire put my pawn through. Still much appreciated!Daeren posted:Wow, I already had my fall-in-love-with-the-game moment, but I think I just had another one after Griffin's Bane. That's funny, I also very recently went through Griffin's Bane, and that whole second part of the quest was possibly the most memorable yet for me. It didn't go exactly as yours did, but something about it I think showcased the best aspects of the game, with regards to both the scripted as well as the non-scripted.

It's slow going, but the inclination potions are something measly like 300 gold to forge at the black cat, and the forgeries are direct copies.

I used a neutralizing elixir and then 15 pots of the inclinations I wanted, but somehow his primary inclination changed back to guardian in a few days. I did not use the chair.

Nope, feel free to equip and unequip as you like. Their only shortcoming is you can't hand them or any other gold dragonfire-enhanced item to support pawns, or you'd have gotten those instead of my cheesing checkpoint saves to get you dragon forged stuff. (Let's not think about how long it took to get all the materials for refining on my level 200 to pass over to this character. It makes me cry for my free time.) Edit: My pawn is a warrior with the 'throw you into the air' move. I had never seen her use it in god knows how much play time. She just used it for the first time as I was sprint-running to leap onto a fly-by'ing griffon. That + her throwing a skull instead of using her two hander on a bandit I was holding in a full nelson and STILL killing it have endeared me.

Thanks to the goonpawns who put me on the fast track to the postgame. Wound up clearing it at level 39 with enough gold to pick up the longbow in the Everfall and start wight farming. I don't know how Buttermonster built his pawn but jesus is that the best buff/healbot ever. Ditto for tunaism and zarron's murder machines. As I typed this the ending cutscene, which I probably ignored initially, played. I know I wanted Fournival's charms but NOT WHAT I MEANT, GAME!

So I just started playing this, (Why oh why did I wait so long, it's so  wheres my PC port Capcom!) anyway I'm getting overwhelmed by random loot and my inventory filling up, does anyone have any advise? I've been pretty much dumping everything into the inn's to free up weight and only keeping like 2 lanterns, and some poison cure herbs and similar stuff for emergencies, then selling all foods at vendors because I have yet found a reason to eat something and they will just rot otherwise.I feel like I should be doing something with all those fur pelts and bones, herbs, etc. etc. but I'm a horder by nature in these kind of games and don't want to sell anything that might be useful. I'm also having money issues, any tips on that? I made it to Gran Soren at level 10, changed my guy to a warrior, and pawn to a ranger, bought a 2-hander and now I'm flat broke. Is there some kind of money farm I can do at this stage of the game.

Im_Special posted:So I just started playing this, (Why oh why did I wait so long, it's so First off: Don't worry about it. All those materials you get are for upgrading equipment at the blacksmith, but it will pull them from your item storage when you do so, so no need to be weighing yourself down with them all. As for money woes, not so much that early in the game. If you're on 360, I'll happily take your pawn for a little bit and give them a gift item you can sell for some cash, but just looking around and picking up all quests on the boards that AREN'T escort quests should see you well enough. Take all the 'kill -howevermany whatevers-' and the like. Don't actively try to complete them, though. Just explore a little around Gran Soren and Cassardis and you'll probably complete a few of them as you go. Hotwire fucked around with this message at 16:41 on Feb 18, 2014 |

Good to know, and that answers the other thing I had on my mind which were quests, which have been piling up by the dozens, I was worried there was some sort of cap limit on how many you can take, also escort quests seem bullshit for the level you can get them at, I started a few, then later went nope nope nope. I'm also a bit worried about missing quests that later become unavailable, which has me focusing on side missions before I go back to story missions. Traveling is becoming a bit of a pain now aswell, how and when do I get fast travel, I just have DD:DA and no imported save.

Dump them into storage, they're used for upgrading weapons. Andy always upgrade your current weapon to the highest you can make it, having the highest damage output possible is key due to how defense works (basically, if you do just 1 point higher than an enemy's defense, your damage is barely reduced, if it's one point lower, it's heavily reduced). quote:I'm also having money issues, any tips on that?

Sell your old lovely weapons. Weapons in dragon's Dogma tend to be direct upgrades. i.e. longsword that costs 6k is gonna be better than one that casts 2k. If you have a weapon equal in strength or one that's close despite not being upgraded, chuck your older weapon for the new one. The only wrinkle comes with elemental weapons; always keep one of each element around since you can potentially make up for a lack of damage with the damage multiplier you get for enemies that are weak to the elemnt.

Fast travel works with a combination of portcrystals and ferrystones. You'll get your first portcrystal during the quest at the Pawn guild (immediately after you get to Grand Soren). Once you get a portcrystal you can plant it on the ground anywhere and warp to it using a ferry stone. There are also permanent portcrystals at Grand Soren and Cassardis. unfortunately ferrystones are not that common. One spawns every week at the portcrystal in Grand Soren (behind the pawn guild), and there is a merchant named Fournival in the Noble Quarter who sells three of them a week for 1,000 gold a piece. There's also a few scattered around the map, but I don't know how to tell you where they are without spoilers.

Thanks for the beginner advice, also I just want to be doubly sure here, when replacing pawns for newer pawns all items on them besides equipped gear goes to your storage right? I don't want to be loosing tons of stuff if this is not the case.

I always just keep a couple potions for health and 40 or so mushrooms for Stamina, and everything else I toss or give to my pawn. That said it can be handy to keep crafting recipes in mind, since there are some decent items you can make with stuff you just purchase in Gran Soren.

Yeah, they only keep what they have equipped. Everything goes in to your storage when you send them back. I always loaded up incoming pawns with lanterns, pickaxes, and Wyrmking's rings (if applicable).Genocyber posted:That's way too much work to be worth doing considering how many consumables the game throws at you.

Consumables in their base form do almost nothing for a high-level character. Having each character carry 10 wines and 5 spring waters / incenses is a lot better than carrying 2x the amount of regular healing potions. titties fucked around with this message at 19:41 on Feb 18, 2014 |

Damnit Madeline, I handed you a literal bottle of poo poo specifically so you wouldn't try romancing me again. Get the hell out of my cutscene!  What I'm saying is, the romance thing in this game is horribly clunky and if they really wanted it there the player should have been given a bit more control over it. I actually kind of like Madeline so I guess it could be worse. v  v

I'm on 360, My name's PresidentZaph0d and my Pawn's name is San and if somebody could pimp her for me I'd really appreciate it. I don't really know what to do because everywhere I go I just get my rear end handed to me. I've leveled up to 13 and I've gotten some cool skills, but even when I found two other cool level 13 pawns with really good gear and abilities for that level, I'm still getting murdered before I can even make it to any quests, much less actually attempt a quest.  I'm also too poor to afford armor or anything, but I guess I just need to do some quests. Won't be able to afford to stay at the Inn more than a couple times until I get some more...

I kinda hate to ask but is anyone willing to help nudge my pawn along a bit by tossing some junk at it, she's a level 24~ ranger in basic starter gear. I have no idea how the online works for my own pawn as I don't think anyone has hired her yet so I'm not sure what happens after the fact. PSN: Im_Special, Pawn: Freya

I´ve been playing for a while now and am enjoying this game a lot. If anyone would be so kind to take my pawn out for a while that would be great. Pawn Name: Uno. She is a sorcerer and I think the reason noone takes her is because she is so small (I think height has something to with how much a character can carry?).

I totally made it to Gran Soren and changed vocation to Assassin, but now I'm like, what do I do? I need to do quests. I'm broke as hell. None of my current quests seems very attractive. Only like one or two even list rewards, although I assume I'd get rewards for all of them so whatever. But the interesting or more easy ones are really far away, in lands I've never been to and haven't mapped out yet. The ones nearby seem really hard. Bandits and wolves are nonstop. I can absolutely take down a pack or two of bandits just fine, but trying to get to a quest means going through like 15 bandit encounters and by the end of it I'm out of healing materials and my mage can't heal me much anymore and eventually I go down. I'll try at it again, but maybe somebody could tell me which quest to try? Hm. :/ I guess I'll just try sprinting past all of the bandits until I make it to a quest but that's really awkward (lovely) game design. I guess I could bump the difficulty down to easy, but gosh, I just started! What's going on? Zaphod42 fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Feb 19, 2014 |

Any quest that you get from an actual NPC, as opposed to the quest boards, you should be doing (also, accept every kill X monsters quest from the boards, you're likely to complete them just by going through the game). If a quest you're doing is too hard, try another. And a lot of quests will have you traveling quite a ways around the map. If you're Assassin buy the dodge roll for the dagger (forget if it requires a certain rank or not) and avoid getting hit.

I know there's a definite postgame to expect after the Final Battle, but how much exactly? I'm still trying out different vocations, but there are almost no quests left to do but for the last one. I was looking to have a kind of pre-final battle powering up phase, but it doesn't seem to exist. I think I'm in the mid-40s for levels and I had enough skills available in assassin to take on most anything. Should I do experimentation with mystic knight et al before the final quest or are there decent opportunities afterwards?

If you're in the mid 40's, it might be a worth a trip to the first areas of Bitterblack if you don't want to go into the postgame just yet. However, the post-game is not a minuscule thing. You will still have PLENTY to do if you so choose, although it will come with a permanent change to Gransys as a whole.

The post-game is more of the story, and there's also the DLC content so just go kill the final boss. An important thing to remember tho; kill the final boss with the vocation you play most often. Killing it gives you a powerful weapon in the same class as each one you have equipped (i.e. if you have a bow and a dagger equipped you will get special bow and daggers). Vocation stuff is best handled in the postgame since there's a really good farming method for DP that you can just leave the game running while you do something else.

Although I think I'm going to have to try out the mystic knight and warrior, for now I'll do the stabby dagger assassin thing if that's how you get roll.

Shields are garbage unless they're magick shields (only Mystic Knight uses those). As an Assassin you'll want a bow in your left hand. And don't knock swords completely; daggers are overall better but swords are much better boss kills in the hands of an Assassin once you have their Gouge ability.
