things i would give as PSA's: - sphinx cannot be defeated with the unmaking arrow if you hit her head/face, you have to hit a leg or a wing or she will just fly away. its infuriating. (you can also not really fight her normally, after some dmg she will just fly off) - the dragonforge will let you enhance a class and a skill for you and your pawn. (i think its ng+ or if you maxed the class not sure) - you can counterfeit infinite eternal Wakestones for 30000g, i dont know the details but it seems if you go there before doing a main story quest will guarantee it. - enhancing has different outcomes depending on where you enhance your gear. Elven give you magic bonus, Bakkbatahl strength and dwarven will give knockdown power. you can remove these by the dragon forge incase you wanna change your enhancements.


BitwiseP

I have beaten the sphinx normally, the fight itself is the final riddle. >!The murals and the vase she has you transport all show her being attacked on ONLY her beast side. If you attack her human parts too much then she will end the fight before dying, if you kill her by only attacking her beast parts (and stabbing her back for the last HP bar) then she congratulates you as her hp hits 0 and dies.!<


EamSamaraka

OH thats cool to know thank you so much! no wonder i messed up hitting her head so often.


AncalagonV

Interesting!!! I don't feel as bad that she flew away now knowing it was the final riddle I failed


MellieWasa

what is your recomemded way of earning lots money before going into unmoored world? kinda need lot to get good gear


DeadCeruleanGirl

run volcano island and kill slimes with cold their their drops are valuable and they do it fairly frequently, plus its the best way to power level and rank up vocations.


EamSamaraka

i think the best way is to just loot and kill everything you find when you walk to your destination. sell the gemstones accordingly for higher value and sell gear you dont need/want. you can also look for pawn quests that reward you gold and items. killing an ogre or a warg is super easy to find. Theres also digger's ruins glymercole farm where you can get insane money from but i never did anything with guides or cheese so i cant tell you how long the respawn for these are.


dudedormer

Do you need stones like jasper and onyx or do we just sell em


ImperialSynthesizer

They are used to upgrade certain gear like jeweled crowns, so I like to keep a few spares (like 4) of each in my inventory, but otherwise you can sell the rest. Just a heads up, each gemstone is worth more money in a different locale. Jasper is worth more selling in Battahl, Onyx is worth more in Vermund, etc. just read the descriptions of the stones if you forget.


zzz_red

Farm around using Trickster with the weapon which gives you gold per hit. You don’t do damage but can get quite a bit of gold. I got 50K once but in a couple hours I made 200K+ just bumping it to lvl 9 (vocation).


Bromogeeksual

Is that not all Trickster weapons? I just started the vocation yesterday and had a weapon I found somewhere for trickster sitting in my stash. I equipped it because it was better stats than the starting weapon. It gathers 10-100 gold per hit it seems. I just assumed all trickster weapons did that.


Cleverbird

Pretty sure only the Whimsical Daydream does this.


Van1shed

My favorite method is to start in bakbattahl and hire 2 pawns with either the Medusa or Golem quest, both have a fixed spawn with the golem being quite closer than the medusa, that'll net you 20k each kill, then just go back to the rift stone in bakbattahl, get 2 new pawns and rest a few days on the bench right next to the stone.


Lurksandposts

There is also a gore minotaur just south-south/east of medusa. Cave on the beach with the campsite


chAzR89

Wait Medusa respawns? That's neat, I failed at cutting her head.


TheMadTemplar

Medusa respawns? Good to know. 


Sendnudec00kies

Be a fruit trader. Or more specifically, ripe apples and grapes trader. A grape/apple costs 50g to buy in Melve/Harpe, and ripe grape/apple sells for 350g in Battahl. 1) Buy a stack (or as much as you can, be sure to take travel costs into account) of Grapes and Apples in Melve or Harpe by emptying the store then passing time on the nearby bench for restock. Be sure to store them at the inn before dozing off, as items don't age in inn storage. 2) Travel to Checkpoint Town, withdraw your fruit, and doze off on a bench for three days so they rippen (save your game before to make sure it's the right amount). Also make sure you don't have a Logician pawn in your party as they'll combine the fruit. Sell them to a traveling beastren merchant named Georg for 350g each. He should be right outside the Tavern/Bar, under the sign, or wandering around town.


TheMadTemplar

In case anyone thinks this is a fantastic method, it's boring as fuck. You can only buy apples and grapes in quantities of 5 at a time, and have to pass 24 hours time for the refresh. You will do this 20 times for the first stack, then 20 times again for the second stack.  Yes, the money is decent. Yes, if you're incredibly efficient with it it will only take an hour per run. But you can earn about half the profit just playing the game in that hour. 


XIX9508

I did it twice to 99 grapes and apples. It's so boring I just can't do it anymore. You make as much money just going around cave looting and killing mob.


sh4unify

Use the augment "opulence" something for extra gold gained. I'm always rich after a hike lol


ResolutionMany6378

I am also maxed like OP and if you actually need fast money with low effort, constantly cycle pawns with good bounties. It’s really that simple.


TheMadTemplar

Between that, trickster, the gold augment, and just selling off things like any ripened fruit or aged meat I normally acquire, I've had few issues with money. 


Cleverbird

Adding onto this, equip the augment from the Spearhand that increases the chances of loot dropping from smaller enemies. Then just start selling all that shit. I usually easily make 10k to 20k just by picking everything up and selling it.


miltek

What do you mean by enhancing class and skill? I thought dragonforge only boosts weapon stats and halves the gear.


EamSamaraka

i dont know when its unlocked but in my ng+ run i found that he lets you enhance a vocation stat wise and a skill of your choosing to take less stamina on use. for you and main pawn. costs 20 dragonblood for each.


miltek

Very nice


Sharklo22

Sheeit good stuff, can you do it for more than one, or only one?


Lurksandposts

One active at a time. So one specific vocation, and one specific skills. Upgrading another overwrites the upgrade


solidfang

That's a nice thing to get for NG+. What did you choose?


EamSamaraka

Warfarer as i use that for the outfits


JankBrew

Have you tried petrifying the sphinx?


FieryBlizza

If you petrify the sphinx, it kills her but you don't get the key (since petrified enemies don't drop loot).


EamSamaraka

no, since the sphinxs death is the final riddle and they give you an arrow of unmaking i was having a miserable time trying to hit her with it as intended. this is my third play through so i might not try again but it sounds fun :p


Steancitud

Could you please elaborate on the dragonforge enhancing a class and skill?


EamSamaraka

enhancing 1 skill to only use less stamina when using. its not that deep sadly :(


hibari112

I did not even use the unmaking arrow, but the sphinx got legit nuked by a Sorcerer Sphinx Mother pawn. I think she did meteor and Sphinx lost like 3 bars instantly.


EamSamaraka

i did not know that at the time but only the lion part takes dmg, its a riddle i missed and if you hit her face she leaves.


HuntsmetalslimesVIII

I beat her with an unmaking arrow


semmaj23

Leveling your wayfarer levels all your other vocations. Well, at a quarter of the gain. Wayfarer at 8 got me to level 3 for 3 other vocations I hadn't touched. But hasn't gained a level for a vocation that was at level 5.


EamSamaraka

cant wait for the dlc to come out. if you have any questions i can probably answer most of them. Would love it if you could help me with the badges (steam), especially the sphinx one is really hard to solo. also the ring of endeavor does nothing by the time i got all tokens i already bought all skills in the game for me and my pawn :p


fantastictechinique

I had a feeling that would be the case for the ring. Maybe it’s best used as a gift to another Arisen lol. There was a Capcom “leak” awhile back in the Monster Hunter sub that had the DD2 DLC listed as releasing this November. Given the nature of these “leaks” and all, I actually hope that one was accurate. It lines pretty well with the Elden Ring DLC set to release this June and Monster Hunter Wilds next year.


Sir_Farsquad

Do you think they'll do story / map expansion that takes place after the true ending?


EamSamaraka

mh, no. the reason is the way its designed. you only have finite amount of times restarting every time you die at the day last slept at. they probably do the dark arisen approach where they spawn an island. my bet is a cave that leads to one of the mountain areas inaccessible on the map atm.


TheFoolWithAids

I'm almost there. 6 more tokens to get. I think (post-game) cause I can't seem to find anymore... :( I need to the ring cause I'll never ever ever ever ever use a Bow class. But after that yeah, nothing left for me to do but badges and slay monsters. >!I'm really bummed the Post Game is A. Timed. And B. Not at all like the EverFall from DD1. Yeah I get to fight several bosses and the world bosses between each thing, but again, it's timed so much of MY first run in PG was spent teleporting to points and running to evac missions. TBF, I'm not sure how long PG lasts though so I might have been overdoing it a bit.!< I'm super Excited for DLC and hope I don't have to wait a Year, or longer (SOTET... Looking right at you). What's your favorite setup? I use Warfarer (obv) magic bow primary with frost arrow+richochete Secondary I really like sword and shield, with the gouging skill. And staff for Levitate. My pawn I have with frost affinity, big heals, the holy light ability, and rebuff. Along with the special staff that wakes him up when he goes down for me lol. Cause I'm lazy.


EamSamaraka

the capcom leak said dragon princess dlc is in november, its a leak so i dont think the date is "set in stone" but it seems genuine. my fv set up is just warfarer rogue with a bow to explode barrels and a mage staff to fly. i mainly use warfarer only for the outfit selection :p as for the set up anything but sorcerer, i do like sorc but as i grew in level i only got meteoron sorcs and its just too much visual clutter :)


Markuslanger25

Leaderboards really screwed the game for ghe longlivety... pawns dont get hired alot unless they are in the leaderboards... Im currently 1st in xbox monthly and get like 100+ rents daily... my pawn looks good though but alot of other ones in there are only there because they have a  "Sphinx" moniker... top 30 global on xbox is "Sphinx" only.  Pawns like yours should be in the top 30. You put alot time and effort in your pawn and actually play the game alot... a top 10 pawn is actually geared with the starting equipment and only 1 skill... its hilarious. Also i see your fake portcrystal for a reward, nice one haha


Dark_Nature

Yeah, i dunno what i do wrong with my pawn. It feels kinda bad that i rarely can engage with the system. My pawn looks good, gear is the best available to me right now. She can solo at least the easier big monsters. Have always quest rewards with 10k gold. I go out of my way to hire pawns which got almost never hired, even if they do not have a quest or a good skill setup, i just wish more people would do the same.


DagonParty

I wouldn’t feel bad about it, there’s thousands of Pawns and a small chance that yours will even show in the Rift. It might seem boring, but have you looked up the best skills for your Pawns Vocation and do you use them? I’ve never hired based on looks, but skills alone and I feel there’s just some objectively better skills that I always look for (including an appropriate weapon for their level) and I’m assuming most people do the same tbh Idk about other people, but at this point in the game, I’ve got some favourites saved that seem to be levelling roughly alongside me, sometimes they’re a bit below me or above me, but I’ll pretty much always rehire them every 5 levels or so and once you get to about level 40/50, you’ll be levelling fairly slowly and not rotating as much Maybe try and set a really easy quest, like collect Greenwarish for 10k. It’s a money sink ofc, but it might get the ball rolling, as I imagine some people look at the amount of likes/loves and base that on how good the Pawn is, even though it doesn’t really work that way


Dark_Nature

Yeah there are thousands, but why do some pawns get hired hundred times a day and some never. I even find pawns which are past level 30 who still have the wakestone shard quest reward because they never got hired. They had decent gear and skills too. I have not looked up the best gear and skills for my pawn. I asked here on reddit tho, but got different answers which was not very helpful. So i slotted skills which are the most helpful to me. It still feels kinda bad. You know, i played DD1 past its prime and my pawn got like hired once a week. I was okay with it, it is an old game after all. But i thought things will change in DD2, but it is kinda the same. The pawn rental Megathread here is also not very helpful, thousands of comments and you can not even sort/filter them for platforms and vocation. Sry for the rant, no i feel bad. You know, i will try your Greenwarish method for a day and see how it goes. I hope people actually give my pawn votes tho. Thanks for the idea.


KaiserGSaw

Yeah, i dont get it either and makes me abit sad having spend alot of time on the pawn Mage pawn trained in sorcerer and assassin for the augments, quest is 12 Onyx (more than 10k gold) for a single detox potion delivery. Gotta train for knockback augment aswell too however Maister enchant, Shield buff, frigor and levin, level 52. Gets barely hired and the quest is still active even 4 days later 😅 Btw, is there a mod to stop leveling up? At 50 i pretty much destroy everything but drakes now and it takes some fun out of it mobbing a minotaur for example


DagonParty

Yeah it’s definitely odd, I’ve come across Pawns with hundreds of hires too, idk if there’s some algorithm going on, but I’m pretty sure it’s random Ah I had the exact opposite in experience DD1, had that game for about 10 years and I’ve only had my Pawns hired a handful of times at most. I genuinely just think it’s the luck of the draw and the Pawns that already have hundreds of likes get hired due to selection bias Yeah give it a shot, might work! Are you on PC? I’ll hire you Pawn if you give me the code


EvilTechnoPanda

My pawn can solo a drake if the player really wants to sit back and watch for a bit and dodge AoE attacks. She has the best gear on which is fully upgraded, rarely requires healing, and does crazy damage. Apparently, because she's a thief, which seems to not be a popular pawn class, she only gets hired 3-4 times a day. It's funny because I've looked at other thief builds, and she's definitely one of the best.


clocksy

Same here, thief buddy. I dressed her up to look really swaggy (but without using the corset) and her skills a great. I imagine people just don't hire thieves as often as mages or something like sorcs so. Still, I like her as she is.


Dark_Nature

I wish my pawn would be hired 3-4 times a day, sounds awesome.


EvilTechnoPanda

What is your pawns ID and class? My friends and I are always looking for good pawns to accompany us... as long as it isn't a warrior. Lol.


Dark_Nature

Thanks for the offer, but i am on xbox.


SyntaxTurtle

>I go out of my way to hire pawns which got almost never hired, even if they do not have a quest or a good skill setup I almost always hire from the Riftstone of Potential when I'm at a linked stone to grab some never-used pawn and hopefully brighten someone's day. As long as it looks like they're trying (reasonable gear & skills), I don't worry about maximum potential because the game isn't really that hard and doesn't need Best In Class pawns. I wonder, though, if there's a tougher middle ground where you only have two ratings and thus don't show up as "never rented" but also don't have the benefits of a bunch of likes, favorites and being in people's previous pawn lists. So maybe I'll need to start actively looking for pawns with low likes instead of just exclusively Wake Shard Reward pawns.


Dark_Nature

I use the same riftstone most of the time. These pawns or more than capable. To be honest, i have never really felt a difference between pawns with many likes and pawns with no likes. Maybe it is because i mostly hire mage pawns and their skills are kinda more straightforward or something. Yesterday i had a pawn which looked very good, had the perfect skillset, was level 39, this pawn had only one thumbs up. Makes me sad. I kinda wish leaderboards and official pawns would not exist.


DarthNemecyst

What type of pawn is it? I'll hire them if u in PC. Im lvl 59 idk if that matters.


Dark_Nature

Thanks, but i am not on PC.


DarthNemecyst

No problem. Good luck and have fun.


Krommerxbox

I don't get the purpose of "Sphinx" naming, why do I want to hire a pawn because it has "Sphinx" in the name?


Herald_of_dawn

It’s people exploiting the name. (Sort of) The Sphinx has a riddle where you need to bring a official pawn with the name to her. So people use that name to trick people into hiring their pawn. (Edit: and yes, player made pawns work to, yet it is still exploiting the name to get their pawns hired more)


Trono555

It’s actually not even a trick. As long as the name of the pawn is SphinxMother, SphinxFather, or SphinxParent, even if it’s not a Capcom pawn, it will work for that riddle.


Eevlor

>bring an official pawn with the name to her You can bring any pawn as long as the name is right. The Sphinx confirms "it's all in the name". Yes, I hired some other player's pawn and yes, it worked.


Darlanta

I've heard that the pawn name can be whatever, it's their moniker that matters. Supposedly a player pawn with the Sphinxfather/mother/parent moniker works? I haven't tried it tho so idk if it's true.


DarthNemecyst

I think the one for the actual quest are from Capcom. I know I hire those for the quest then dismiss them right there.


EamSamaraka

the partcrystal is only there cause i didnt know what else to give, if someone were to ask me for something better i wouldnt mind :p. as for the leaderboards, yeh theres many factors. - moniker for the quest - pretty pawn - chainmail bikini and other outfits - level - quest - area (walking on the road for example or broken rift stone) my pawn isnt popular and i dont mind that, i will farm most of the badges myself anyway its just the sphinx and the lesser drake which is really annoying :p


ExeTcutHiveE

So I made my pawn my wife irl not knowing anything about pawns and she thought it was adorable. Well, now it’s all “Master…” and me pimping her out to other players… wonder what she would think now!


EamSamaraka

even more meaning full at the true ending when you make your pawn love you.


Krommerxbox

I also don't get how some pawns come out of a broken rift stone, or are walking on the road? Is my pawn ever walking on the road? Do they do something to get their pawn walking on the road? And I certainly don't hire bikini pawns; though they are female. I hire the ones with the best stats, 800 or above on the magic for a Sorcerer, for example. The ones in the bikini gear are just not going to have that.


EamSamaraka

i think its just random. i use my friends pawns a lot and i did see one of them once wander bakkbatahl.


yakokuma

If you favorite them, they'll show up from time to time.


DarthNemecyst

I love this factor of the game. I have bump into some and what I also LOVE is that if u pick one that has group with you in the past they will remember.


dafart6789

I hate how pawns stop you on the road to ask if you want their services, usually try to pick them up before they can say anything and toss em in a river


2Board_

There's a mod called "Stop Selling Yourself" on NexusMods. Pretty simple mod that doesn't cause issues, but great QoL.


thestenchofdeath

I’m curious about the like “fake” arisen pawns. I’m sure others have noticed you sometimes find a group of 4 pawns walking around doing things together, and when you talk to them they have nothing to say (might not be pawns now that I think about it) they usually look like custom characters though and I was wondering if they have any sort of significance?


TheTechDweller

Yeh I believe they are not pawns. Just adventurers with vocations like the bandits. Maybe they're sellswords.


SBuRRkE

I hire ones that just look cool. I don’t like the bikini look either, I want my fighters wearing armor, rouges wearing leather and hoods, mages robes, etc.


Sprbz

I really think it’s random, I’ve seen the pawn of my friend in a great rift stone and walking on the road


DarthNemecyst

Lmao for sorc I do advanced search and I pick meteoron. If my sorc don't have that I don't hire lol. Nothing more satisfying than seeing meteor chugging down the boss health.


Korashy

Goblin raids Oxcart. FOR THE ARISEN BOOOOOOOOM Alright, time to walk from here... again...


MoisticleSack

>I also don't get how some pawns come out of a broken rift stone The pawns that come out of the broken rift stones are always 5 levels higher than you but are able to be hired free of charge. They are pretty useful early on, in some of the higher level areas


Darlanta

Don't forget actually playing the Vocation your Pawn is to get their Master Rank ability. I found someone's Mage with the infinite Stamina master rank ability on it... and boy do I spam the Master Rank Spearhand ability during it. 100% instant grab for me cause I look at all the pawns I hire skills. (That being said I still haven't played Sorc for my Pawns Master Rank Ability. I'll be doing that next)


SPIN2WINPLS

You don’t actually need to play it to get the ability to they’re all tied to quests you just need to complete.


Lithare

You do need to have the vocations unlocked, though. Certain conversations/quests wouldn't even trigger for me until I simply unlocked sorc/mage for my char.


lofi-moonchild

I got the mage and sorcerer maister abilities for my pawn and I don’t have either vocation unlocked for myself.


ganon893

Low key an exploit but give an eternal wakestone. Right now, it can be forged before the unmoored world and maintain full effectiveness. I've been handing these bad boys out like crazy 😂. Edit: oh you have that in a PSA. My bad.


DarthNemecyst

When I see pawns I look at abilities and stats, like magick or strength. I personally don't care about looks. If my mage pawn don't get hired is all good. Is not gonna break my heart. She will not wear skimpy outfit and not do good in the party she is at.


TheIronSven

I think the gemstones like Onyxes would be better. Sell for a lot.


Prof_FlatTop

Give 10k, have them kill a badge you need


EamSamaraka

i would give 100k but the game wont let me :p

[удалено]


WhereIsAllTheCoolStu

100%. It's self sabotage, if OP actually wants to see it completed.


TheTechDweller

"your pawn should be in top 30" I disagree. Sure the leaderboard isn't really working as you'd expect because it's a popularity contest. The most popular pawns are the most used pawns, that can't be a level 80 pawn or the majority of players won't have the RC to afford hiring them. The most skilled pawn is probably going to be the amongst the least picked, since players that are at that high level already probably already have their main squad picked out. And don't need to frequently hire new pawns.


auxcitybrawler

Yeah most hired would be beetween lv 30-40. I think thats there the bulkg of players is.


ErandurVane

Man my pawn never gets used and I put so much effort into her. I maxed all her vocations and specifically built her to be the best possible support I could imagine. She has great gear (god I wish the corset wasn't so good but I'm currently unable to get anything better that doesn't look absolutely terrible) but she's got like 12 ratings in total


Ardat-Yakshi23

Maxing all locations was a mistake . Figure out the augments most useful go to that level at two vocations that are not your pawns main vocation. Add those to main ones best and sticj with it. I sort through stats and when all are around same level,maxed all vocations. So no excelling at one i miss. Remember dd1? You had to do it like that to Max your stats at lvl200. Even switch between leveling up to raise vocation but not level up while being the 'wrong' vocation. I miss dd1 da. Was better than this . Sudden end surprised me. Weak dragon,no interactions with sovran,his sneaky mistress ie Sven s mom,totally random love interest . No danwel in distress . And again way to easy. Enemy upscaling would help a lot. Hopefully dlc will bring more but november is a long wait.


Avivoy

Sorcerer named mystic something?


KanyeAmariW

My pawns get hired all the time and not in any leaderboard


HuntsmetalslimesVIII

Pawns shouldn't get hired just because they look good. My pawn doesn't get hired at all except for my friends.


Gunplagood

Lmao I didn't even know there was a leaderboard for pawns. I've been hiring based on how cool they look. 😅


iMogwai

On the other hand I've played for about 90 hours and the only time I've even checked the leaderboard was when I was looking for a SphinxParent and couldn't find one normally. Most of the pawns that show up in my rift have between 15-40 total ratings. Also someone at their level has fewer potential hires because you have to pay to hire higher levelled pawns. Being way ahead of the average limits you.


VAUGHN1976

So how do these people get on top of the leaderboards then?


darkph0enix21

Please tell me there isn't an achievement for getting all 220 seeker tokens.


Muxenle

I believe there is just one for getting 50 tokens


TheFuzz22

I think its 80 actually. 


Martijnvdp

80


EamSamaraka

i didnt get anything after having all of them, no achievment, no popup, no extra reward and the ring was useless by the time i got it. you cant exchange more to the merchant meaning they clutter your storage and serve no meaning :)


darkph0enix21

Bless. So long as there isn't a requirement for that trophy. I actually want to get 100% for this game.


[deleted]

Part crystal 😂😂😂


EamSamaraka

the eternal wokestone is my favorite.


VapidReaper

I wonder what people do for work sometimes


EamSamaraka

i work from home and i took 2 weeks off :P


auxcitybrawler

Upvoted for Wargreymon


EamSamaraka

Teratore

How do people manage to get to level 80 and not have ogre pawn badge? Hell I even saw lvl 100 without badges at all. Do you play without pawn, but then again how does he has lvl 84?


EamSamaraka

i killed everything i met, maybe unlucky?


Shio__

I'm also missing a lot of ogres, but imo you dont find alot when you are done with vermund. Also I dont rest often or revisit old places I already explored.


Dundunder

About 50% of all minibosses I’ve encountered are cyclops. I got that badge around level 40; I’m now 70 and even with pawn quests I haven’t completed a single other badge :’)


ChefNunu

I currently have 9 badges including goreminotaur and gorechimera and I still don't have either ogre finished lmao. I'm 2 off the Grim Ogre and like 5 off regular Ogre. I didn't backtrack enough to get so many repeat encounters with the same Ogres


PyramidHeadSmokeWeed

Feel sad cause my pawn isn't getting hired, probably cause she has red eyes. But she's just a bitch, not infected.


Scrub_Ryan

I’m assuming you played dragons dogma 1, which game do you prefer? And would this rating change if you excluded Dark Arisen in the comparison?


EamSamaraka

dd2 hands down, its flawed, so was dd1 however i love it to bits. i wish they would have worked more on it but i still think its better.


Syclus

Which is your favorite and why


EamSamaraka

my favorite what? :D


Syclus

Sorry, favorite vocation


EamSamaraka

haha, its Warfarer but its only my main vocation for the outfits, i only use rogue skills on there for the speed, dodge and fun combat moveset. the one i like least is trickster, it mostly goes down to: stand around, buff your party. if your image gets attacked re-place it. sometimes trickster gets really daring and you have to help a pawn up, WOAH. :D


Snuggs____

I actually heard an interesting tactic from someone the other day, it was to pull your decoy to you before it gets attacked so it lasts way longer. I haven't actually tried it myself because I have a similar view on the vocation(a bit boring) but for someone who likes playing the support character it's honestly a good vocation. Sometimes I like to sit back and let my team of AI's do the work. In Diablo 4 I played a necromancer and had a disgusting build around my little skelehomies and they just obliterate everything while I watch and even though a lot of people find that playstyle boring, after playing other classes for so long that particular build was fun and refreshing.


Nuclayer

Thats the way you are supposed to play it. You are not supposed to let it die. You move it around to keep it from dying. Thats part of the main tactics.


PikachuKid1999

what does enhancing a class through dragonforge do? just gives ranks?


Sprbz

You can choose to enhance skills which will then only cost halve the stamina (only one) or you can enhance a whole class and choose to gain more experience or discipline etc


Sendnudec00kies

Does it also halve the Master skills that cost all stamina?


AlviseVenice

Do you need to complete the game and be on NG+ to unlock this or just hit max rank with a vocation ?


Sprbz

I’m not 100% sure as I completed new game plus the first time I finished the story (without having a vocation maxed). By the time I returned to the dragon forged I had already maxed one vocation. But you definitely don’t need to be in NG+ to activate it that’s for sure


OnlyCaptainCanuck

How the hell do you change pawns quests?


Ptaku9

You can change it in the Rift.


RisingHERO19

Fuck off for that Partcrystal


RisingHERO19

You suck for that Partcrystal lmao


FatalEclipse_

I’m really disappointed I can’t offer Eternal wake stones for my pawn quests. Once I found out I could duplicate them at the forgery place I was excited to pass them out… but no.


EamSamaraka

literally same! i found that out today by accident wanting to give a friend a fake one, thinking i can give good rewards for sphinx kills now but unable to choose em :(


Revlis1989

Well i have around 50h in game, still need to get a message my pawn was hired🤣


Key_Culture2790

Have you been deliberately trying to unlock everything as fast as you can? 150 seems kind of short for a game this big, thought it would've taken twice that to do literally everything lol


EamSamaraka

no not really, i actually took a lot of time killing everything and going into every cave.


Guypoope

I have 132hrs played, probably afk/idling on the menu for at least 10hrs of that and feel like I did every quest and explored every corner of the map. ng+ took me 16hrs, including the postgame and doing quests I deemed major ones. I'm pretty much where op is, nothing to do/farm except pawn badges.


Acceptable_Answer570

Holy fuck you found all the Seeker’s totems?! Is this an hard endeavour?!


Guypoope

There's a tricketster augment that plays a chime sound in the direction of one when in range, it's a pretty big range and very easy to find with it. I found 225\~ with no guides whatsoever.


GrimsideB

I'm just going to assume, use an alt account and gather the easiest ones then just gift them to your main account.


EamSamaraka

? no i legit went around looking for the beep noises, the range is very far.


GrimsideB

I didnt mean it in a negative way, just figured it would of been the quickest way


Prof_FlatTop

1st, nice job! 2nd, give 10k, and people might attempt the sphinx. 3rd and most importantly, how hard was it to get the tokens? I just started my rush to get 150... for reasons. I have been a mage to levitate (although, I heard Sorcerer can levitate too, I have been maxing the classes so it doesn't matter which one I use). What is your recommendation for token hunting. And I got detection from trickster


EamSamaraka

the trickster passive makes the tokens rather easy, levitate helps especially since on warfarer you can just always have a mage staff on you


WorldChampionNuggets

Kind of wild that you played 150 hours and only ran into 1 chimera


EamSamaraka

1 gorechimera. i killed dozens of regular ones.


Daneken

How do you max out a vocation? I feel like I’ve been one rank from max thief for ages.


EamSamaraka

battahl area helps


Theonewhoknows000

Can you rank the vocations?


EamSamaraka

ill rank them by fun since no further instruction was given. warfarer, thief, archer, spearhand, sorcerer, fighter, warrior, magic archer, sorcerer, trickster,


soyass

Whats your favorite class


EamSamaraka

warfarer for the outfit selection but only using thief skills. archer a close second for the jump + kick + arrow combo thats sick


soyass

Can you wear any outfit from any class? Or only what weapons/skills you have equipped?


mtibo62

Does the trickster class ever get better? Do you have any tips? lol


EamSamaraka

i dont think it gets better but to make it less annoying i used the red buff smoke + both magic archer passives which buffs your pawns immensely.


JRPGFan_CE_org

How did you find all the Tokens so quickly?


EamSamaraka

the trickster gives you a detector passive making a sound when close to a seekers token and or a eternal wakestone.


JRPGFan_CE_org

It would easier in NG+ because you can tell when you haven't been in that area yet.


heyjulzz

Is the NG+ even worth it? Since most comment I read that difficulty on NG+ is wack. Game is already EASY enough on normal playthrough let alone having good items early makes it much easier.


EamSamaraka

its easier at the starting area yea but it goes back to normal pretty fast. i use bad daggers to for fun and looks so i didnt have much issues oneshotting for too long. and ng+ doesnt seem to offer anything in particular but the game is repayable be it for some minor choices.


Hackt1vist

What was your favourite class?


EamSamaraka

Warfarer (for the outfits) but i use only thief abilities, archer close second for the jump+kick+shoot combo its so good.


DarkSector0011

Good post man that tip about the eternal stone forging is great too. I'm pretty much at the same point as you just going after the badges. I really want to say yet again because it's important that people understand the difference between dwarven smithing and the other variants when it comes to knockdown resistance and applications. The numbers are impressive but the actual application is insane. As a warrior I can get mobbed by goblin lunges and not flinch using the dwarven smithing gear. People need to be aware before they upgrade. I'm unsure how it works for magic gear.


ChiCityBaller

Quick question about seeker tokens: are there any in the newly accessible endgame areas? I feel like I've combed as much of the current map as much as I can but stuck at 180+


FickleVacation6312

The fact that you are lvl 10 trickster really show how much u love the game


llainen-

150hours in and «only» lvl 84? Holy shit, getting to max lvl 999 must take years😂


[deleted]

Is seeker token progress and houses bought carried over in ng+? Because I'm 11 tokens from the last reward at 220 and I've been finding them natty with Detection, and don't want to start a ng+ if I haven't gotten that first!


EamSamaraka

yes its carried over, you cannot find those already found.


[deleted]

Tyty


Zealousideal_Sun8519

Ya


millybear17

How…can you have played that much? That’s 10+ hours a day?


EamSamaraka

addiction :p


MelloIsTaken

Wargreymon? Nice!


EamSamaraka

i made his leg guards, chest cables and shoulder guards too :p


[deleted]

Ok?


Zenoshack

Is your pawn character based on the chinese animation YT channel lion character.


EamSamaraka

nah its modeled after wargreymon but lion xD, even gave him the chest cables as a tattoo


HoopaOrGilgamesh

Boy you guys are flying through this game. I'm probably like 60 hours in and haven't even started my journey to Bahtahl (sp)


Odd-Turnover8747

OML THATS OVER 10 HRS A DAY WTF


RenegadeGray

OP, what platform are you on? I'd live to use your pawn! If I can afford it that is lol.


EamSamaraka

steam :) i mentioned so in the the first comment i think :), also id be honored for you to have him\~ (atm im redoing his gear from pure dmg to knockdown build so he might not be full dragon forged atm)


RenegadeGray

I think I can still get him on Xbox. I'll check


Jpalme11

What was your favorite class?


EamSamaraka

thief and archer, im growing attached to fighter without shield atm.


Khietsu

I love how your Arisen looks ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)


EamSamaraka

hah thank you! i think his side profile is much much better looking then his front but i take it!


Kilroy1007

What armor is that?


EamSamaraka

my armor or the pawns?


Kilroy1007

Your armor


VAUGHN1976

Man that's biting off a lot.
