![]() You never know when a bug is going to crawl up your ass and you want to stop being a Fighter and start being a Mage, or maybe you want to change your main pawn’s vocation. Also, don’t forget to check the item tabs for your two recruited Pawns, as they’ll often loot what you don’t. keep everything find on the battlefield stored with the innkeeper via the deposit tab. I know the gold is enticing, but trust me on this. Noob Tip #7 – Store Materials and Gear at the InnĮventually you’ll want to “enhance” your weapons and armor and to do so you’re going to use a lot of random items you find along the way. Trust me being on an escort quest for 20 minutes, only to fail it, is never fun and neither is running all the way back to town if the escort dies. You don’t want your tank pawn (if you have one, of course) running around with 20% max health toward the end of an escort quest and have everything turn to shit in a matter of seconds. Also keep in mind that when you take damage, the max amount of health you can regenerate goes down unless you heal with a consumable or rest at an inn. You can’t always rely on Mages to heal your party when they’re probably getting picked on by archers, so make sure your pawns have healing consumables to heal themselves in clutch situations. Noob Tip #6 – Buy consumables and give some to your pawns. It’s nice to have that mix of ranged and melee damage going around, especially early on with the larger monsters dealing a lot of AoE (area of effect) damage. My favorite mix is the basic Fighter tank, Mage healer, Ranger/Strider and a Sorcerer (available at level 10+). ![]() I know this is probably RPG common sense, but if you’re a Fighter, pick a Mage pawn that can heal you and two other pawns to deal damage in some way. Noob Tip #5 – Pick the Right Pawns for the Job Don’t forget about the quest boards while you’re there. You can also talk to inn keepers to change your vocation (class), learn and set skills, and store items. I know it’s 500g every time you sleep in the city, but this is the only way your pawn can return from being pimped out to another player and bring you goodies. ![]() A simple rule of thumb is that a lot of cheap equipment is more effective than one or two pieces of great equipment. This tip is especially crucial if you’re playing a Mage/Sorcerer because you’ll generally die in 2 or 3 hits and you’re a prime target for any ranged damage dealing enemy. If any of your pawns die, you can easily revive them with the O or B button (depending on your console of choice), but if you die it’s game over. Noob Tip #3 – Don’t Hold Back On Buying Gear Pick up every quest you can find but, by all means, leave the escort quests alone. Noob Tip #2 – Skip Escort Quests Early OnĮscort quests in Dragon’s Dogma take you all over the map and nine times out of ten you are not prepared for that kind of ass kicking just yet. If you’re in a new town for the first time, find the inn and look for the quest board, but don’t just take everything. I had no idea that they even existed until I obtained my wyrm hunter license, so unfortunately I passed up on a few quests and put myself in a situation where I could have gotten some much needed XP and gold. You can find that one right here.Įvery inn generally has a quest board, starting with the very first town in the game. I also have a starter guide on building the best Pawn possible, giving detailed information on each of the game’s inclinations. If you have additional questions, shoot them down in the comments. Hopefully this starter advice helps at least one person from rage-quitting. I suppose that’s what happens with 300+ hours of gameplay under my belt. Thankfully, I’ve gotten beaten down enough that if I started over right now I’d have a much better understanding of what to do. Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen isn’t very challenging in terms of gameplay, but Capcom left a lot to be desired in terms of explaining its intricacies to new players.
