PSA the fifth(?): Cursed items are rolled when you find them. They are given a result in each of the three categories (yellow, red, blue). That is set in stone. Want other results? find more of the cursed item.

I think when you complete the first set (1-7)? I just grabbed the first 7, completed them, and then then 8-14 showed up on the board.

They should show up right away, the game will only let you have like 6 or 7 at a time. Other notice boards are the same.
 
Wondered if swapping to warrior would make for a fun coupla final runs of BBi, having played the whole place with everything but red classes.

Go on youtube, find some daimon vs warrior vids, proceed to watch.

It's just dudes climbing into him and mashing basic attack.

Man....

How exactly does hits work?

There's two ways you can kill the online Ur-Dragon. One is by finding it at extremely low health and finishing it off normally. The other is something called "grace" period. Once the Ur Dragon is killed, there is a short amount of time (sometimes only a couple of minutes, sometimes a bit more) where if you attempt to fight it, it'll spawn in with all hearts active instead. However, every heart will only have a tiny amount of health (less than the offline Ur Dragon) and they'll all be glowing, so it's possible to kill it. Sometimes Capcom does events where the Ur Dragon will go through several generations with lowered health and extended grace periods.

So if I save and purify, then quit and reload and purify, it will always be the same if its yellow, or blue, or red? aka for magic archer i should always try blue and yellow of everything?

Let's say both you and your pawn are blue vocations. That'll force the item to be the rolled blue version. If you switch to red, it'll be the rolled red version. But each of these outcomes is set when the cursed item is found, not when they're purified.

So if you want a Devil's Nail, switch to Warriors, purify. If neither of your items purify to a Devil's Nail, then they never will. Go find some more.

MA gear is coded yellow, as is assassin loot, if memory serves (aside from swords, obviously).

All magic sticks are blue.

Magic Archer's annoying. The magic bow is coded yellow, but the armor is coded blue. Daggers are coded yellow as well.

EDIT: I misspoke, Magic Archer can use yellow or blue armor. I'm used to switching to Magic Archer to DF stuff for my Pawn.

I love the stuff people come up with, so far Mr. Popo is the coolest pawn i have ran into.

The Grave set? Since it has no +mag stats, why use that instead of, say, oblivion/shadow gear?

Feels more like the Trophy set is intended for MA's, and that can be acquired via questing.

Man this is tiring

but atleast I know exactly where to find lv weapons now.
 
This has probably been posted before but with portcrystals and ferrystones you can use those on escort missions. Tried it just to see and it actually allows it.

Dark Arisen really fixed the backtracking entirely. Love it more and more as I play it.

I get to Ur Dragon, it has a bit over a bar and some hearts. Kill a few hearts, get him to 70% of a bar before he flies away.
Get back there, at 70%, get him to 20%.
Get back there, now it's a bar and a half. Get him to one bar.
Get back there, it's a bar and a half again.

It feels I'm just wasting my time.

To my understanding the Ur Dragon has multiple instances running at the same time that are periodically averaged together. This is to prevent one person with hyper charged stats killing it over and over.

Doesn't the dragon have a damage cap to prevent that? You can only do 28 million damage to it in a round?

While I'm at it I'll try the rusted dagger strategy on some monsters

does the dagger by default inflict torpor? it will be cool if it's effective against the two drakes.

The dagger has to be upgrades a certain amount first to have a chance to inflict. Spam Thousand Kisses to hasten the application.

Is there any way to quickly get ~2000 Rift Crystals before BBI? I was hoping to get my pawn a pair of glasses. Level 18. An easily accessible treasure chest or quest would be great.

Do the quests in the basement of the pawn guild. They're all "find an item on the map" quests that award RC and most of the early ones are in towns. You should rack up 2000 rift crystals really quick.

Awesome, thanks! I'll do those ASAP. Still haven't gotten a chance to look around town (because I spent all of yesterday trying to figure out how to get to get to the Shadow Grave).

I killed it earlier, came back to a whole bar, and a few attempts left I got into grace period and killed it again. The first time gave me like offline Ur stuff with no exclusive weapons, the second gave me the "full pack".

/shrug
 
What is up with that dragon near gran soren flying to the sea and going up and down like an idiot? I keep running into it, but was unable to properly fight it because it keeps pulling that shit on me
It's a glitch that was introduced when DA was realeased, that never happened in my 800hrs+ of vanilla, and I killed every dragon on the map 100+ times.

Finally had some time to pick this back up, what is the setting or config thing I should change to reduce my characters glow when enchanted? I'm a strider and every time I get powered up with flame Magic the glowing orange halo around my character is too large and interferes with my ability to aim. It's super frustrating, you can't see what's in your crosshairs!

There's a mod for it. It's called "Don't Blind Me".
