What's the best way for an MK to deal with a Firedrake?

Get that def debuff on anything, switch to a physical weapon, and go to work

I tried MK for a few levels and someone told me to not touch it until i got some levels into mage/sorcerer.
the Riposte mechanic has me feeling my age with the reaction timing.

Got it! I'm broke cus i spend most of the money in healing objects and aside diamonds i didn't find the required objects to power up my dragonforged weapons
Though i always use the weapons with the highest strength stats, should i use the ones with the highest magic power idk ^^'

what do you guys do for money in normal difficulty?
I'm struggling cause i have a stash of dragonforged weapons but they are expensive as hell to level up. even a 1 star is a paltry 50K+. i dont go further and just pray the wyvern dragonforges it.

Farm the
UR Dragon offline
Also a ridiculously fast way to get to max level and dragonforge stuff as well.
The fastest strategy for doing this uses Sorcerer and their Holy enchant to quickly bring down the boss. Plenty of videos out there on farming using Assassin as well.

Well, I'm on hard, but an easy way to dragonforge weapons is to kill some Cursed Dragons. Even at 0 stars, you have a 40% chance to dragonforge it. I save my game and then use rancid meat. Kill the cursed dragon and if it doesn't dragonforge, I just godsbane and retry. If you have spare dragonforge equipment, you can sell those with the ring of thrift and some pawns with suasion for maximum profit. With 2 rings of thrift and 2 pawns with suasion, you'll get 74.9% sell increase.
I got a ton of wakestones from Ur. I should just offload some to the vendors.

thx, wow the selling buff on spawns works for the main char. didnt know that.

No, it doesn't scale with NG+. Instead, it increases in difficulty the more times you complete it (to a point).

Nah you're fine. Plus lore-wise BBI will make more sense now that you've seen the ending.
As an assassin pure strength is usually the best. Buy the Helmbarte daggers from the guy on BBI if you don't have them. Use bloodlust, clout and vehemence augments, ideally opportunism as well if you've found it. Sleep until night to activate bloodlust. Bring a bunch of conquerer's periapts (Fournival sells them) and use 4 at a time.Got it!

I can attest that it's best doing it this way.
Me, I got to Post Game, then Finished BBI, then went back and finished the main game and got to New Game+. It reset my BBI progress back to 0. On a positive note, It doesn't take long to get through most of BBI at level 120 and decent equipment (maybe 4-5 hours).

Not sure if you know, but if you can kill the Cursed Dragon quickly, you can exit the room, re-enter and he comes back. You can get 3-4 of them in on one bait if you're quick enough (I usually get 2 to 3).

Eh, I only do it to run faster and not have to worry about managing items that I pick up around BBI when I'm farming for items. Yeah, it's game-breaking if you carry 999 Blast Arrows as a Ranger with Tenfold Flurry
The stamina use is dependent on your encumbrance, among other things. When in Very Light encumbrance, you use up less stamina, and can jog at high speeds. Looking at your weight, you have about 100 kg, and that is pretty much the top limit with the heaviest class.
Basically, you'd be spending way more stamina, and thus would require more stamina items. You'd also be weighing up the options of carrying less stuff so you can move faster, or carry more stuff but have slower combat movement speed. This also leads in to if you should make your character heavy weight or light weight.
All of these are gameplay aspects that get completely broken when you mod out the weight.
I think you should try to play the game with the mod turned off for a few days. It'll make you think about a lot of things that you may not have considered before. I also was using the weight mod when I started the game. But once I realized that I was making the game trivial with a bunch of healing and stamina items, I removed the mod.

You should post your pawn name/gender/vocation so we can search for them manually. I'd add you but apparently there's a friend list limit... :S

Am I screwed for getting the Gold Idol?
I failed finding enough evidence to find fournival not guilty.

And no. I mean yeah he can't get the idol anymore, but it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

I wish. I don't have Coat of Oblivion with gradually restore health. I can put the Coat of Shadow on her with gradually restore health though. I've been farming for BB armor lvl 3 and still no luck with the armor that I want.
RockTurtle
Member
what do you with the lvl 3 armor that you dont want? sell the gunk? make it anyways and sell it, wasting those rift crystals?
zerokoolpsx
Member
Normally, if I had duplicates, I would sell it, but I haven't finished the Trappings of Evil quest which requires completing all 3 sets of Shadow, Betrayer and Grave set. I dragonforge a few pieces and realize it needs to be in its base form for it to count. No upgrades. Once I get the armor that I need for my pawn and my arisen. I wouldn't purify them any longer.
I have 7 million RC now.

I could be wrong though. The wiki states that it doesn't matter if they're upgraded or not. Oh, you can use rented pawns to fill in the missing pieces you don't have?? Gonna see which one I'm missing tonight.
Exentryk

Okay, I'll start sending you some BBI 3 armors as well. Be so much easier if I could just give you the armor with the right buff haha.

Hell yeah. I'll be done farming Daimon instantly.

Alright, pretty big spoilers I guess.
I just killed the dragon, GS got messed up and the Duke is mad at me. I fall in a giant hole. What's up? I thought I was at the end of the game :lol Is this half way? Closer to the end than that?

You're in
the post game. About 90% done with your first playthrough, but there's plenty to do in NG+ so no worries on continuing!
I think I have two quests left for the all non notice board quests trophy. Not as bad as I thought it would be.
It stays.

You should of got a quest recently. That is the point of no return quest for the end.

Yea I just got a quest upon entering. Was just surprised is all.
Morrigan Stark
Arrogant Smirk
The wiki says that you don't need the base versions, but I wonder. I have the same problem. I have all 13 goddamn pieces, triple-checked the list, some of them are dragonforged and some are base, and the quest just won't get completed. >_<
For updates always check discussions and not news.
Maboroshi Daikon

I was mistaken on that part. Just checked my vendors in NG+ and they're still upgraded. You can do the quest again, like the others said, and open up the 2nd vendor fully (I haven't gotten back to that quest, yet).

So that's why you wanted low health. You took him down within seconds.
Well, I got lucky and got gradual health on a Coat of Oblivion for my pawn.
Also got a Persecutor's Mask from an Eliminator. It'll match with my Tormentor's Mask if I ever wanna roleplay as an Eliminator lol.

Nice! Makes staying at critical health easier.
P.S: I sent through a BBI lvl 3 armor a few hours ago with Dirge. Good luck on finding the stronger health restore armor.
I give Grandgrapes if good! I don't know .... they just sounded yummy sop that is my gift of choice.
Yeah, Daimon becomes a joke thanks to that. But
i try to climb on true form Daimon to reach his head but he always hits me with a thunder spell, then he uses the vortex

Consumables are usually good. Healing and Stamina items, Str and Mag buff items, etc. Or some missable items.
