I'm still somewhat afraid to go after a drake even though I'm level 41. ):
You should be more than fine. I did it at level 33, with level 40 pawns.

Who are you people with no oil in your lamp? I had like 5 extra flasks of oil by 5 hours in.

Loving this game. Just loving it.
I hope you are too.
Great great shots.
Clocked in well over 50+ hours on the game and it's still incredibly fun.
I never tire of the Chimera/Griffin/Ogre/Cyclops encounters.
I just wish the crafting mechanic was fleshed out a bit more. It feels rather pointless.
I think this game would have greatly benefitted from ripping the Monster Hunter crafting system. I think it would have been a lot more satisfying.
Also.. I don't support Capcpoms DLC practices -- but if they ever come out with Armor and weapon sets from MH id buy that in a heartbeat.
Hell.. give me some Monsters to fight. I wouldn't mind fighting Blos, or Rathian.. or hell.. even Kut-ku in DD. I think a crossover would be amazing. C'mon Capcpom make it happen!!

I put this in the BST thread but I have a pawn upgrade pack for ps3 if anyone is interested. Might cost you a few bucks though 
Yea, did mine as a group of 32s
If I die, I'm blaming you!
Going to go exploring for one now.
LOL, I never said you would not die! Seriously, just take your time and focus on the heart. Run when you see fire start spewing out of his mouth, watch his tail and he is weak to ice. It may take awhile, but you will get him.
*Edit* Make sure you have some equipment upgraded to three stars. If you are fighting while online, anything with that rating will be Dragon Forged. Which is essentially getting the 4th upgrade.

You basically have to knock it off balance to get to the heart, correct?
And that last part is good to know. Half of my equips are three stars.
Actually, you can get right up underneath him and go nuts when he is on the ground. If you position yourself just right, he should not hit you unless he charges. Also, nail his heart with ranged attacks when he is in the air and shoot his wings to bring him down. But other than that, yes, he will fall on his side and leave himself open as well.

And that only works if you're online?
According to the guide, when you fight any dragon offline getting your equipment Dragon Forged is based on percentage as follows:
Equipment level 0- 0% chance for both Ur-Dragon and Drake/Wyrm/Wyvern
Equipment level 1- 2% chance for both Ur-Dragon and Drake/Wyrm/Wyvern
Equipment level 2- 10% chance for Ur-Dragon and 6% for Drake/Wyrm/Wyvern
Equipment level 3- 30% chance for Ur-Dragon and 18% for Drake/Wyrm/Wyvern
If you are online and kill the Ur Dragon, all of your equipment automatically becomes Dragon Forged.

According to the guide, yes. I'll be online, though.

Is there a general consensus or rundown on the classes anywhere? Also, if I want to roll a mystic knight should I start off as a fighter or mage? Thanks.

Whatever is to your liking. I'd suggest experimenting with both classes to get the best augments.

So what is the warrior class like? Just slow lumbering strikes using super big two handed swords?
Also, are mystic knights played more as warriors or mage like? I wouldn't mind having a big shield and cool mace or sword, but I want to be more of a physical fighter type with cool un-mage robey armor.
I like making up words i guess

Finally got the balls to face the drake. Level 38 with level 30 support pawns. Totally blind and with all the wrong special attacks
. My main pawn never ONCE cast High Bolide or dealt any significant damage. So disappointed in her.
The drake was killed after a full 24 hour cycle, practically solo, half health bar and no curatives for the last quarter of the battle.
Feels fucking amazing, man.

This game is rough around the edges no doubt, but this game does
not
look
bad
at all.
Personally, Skyrim & Witcher 2 did nothing for me.
The superior lighting & animation in this game alone makes it better to me.
That magic archer light yourself on fire skill is pretty nuts on big enemies. I just took down a Chimera and Ogre in record time with it.
Storywise, this game is so hilariously weird. I
Also, the Arisen is the most awkward silent protagonist I've ever seen.
Storywise, this game is so hilariously weird. I
did a sidequest in the duke's mansion to meet the duchess at night. I snuck into her room, and the Duke came in. He starts choking her for some reason, then I regained control and went to attack him. The next cutscene had the duchess frame me, I got thrown in jail and broke out. But going back to the Duke, he just says what he always did and acts like that never happened.

He gawks at people way too often.
The game started off pretty confusing and its difficult to figure out what you need to be doing, where you can go due to your low levels..etc...etc..
But once everything "clicks", dear gawd...the game is excellent.
To echo an above poster, the game is indeed a "flawed masterpiece."

I got this game alongside Diablo 3 and I played it for about an hour. I've been craving this game since I first saw some of the videos, but after playing for a short time (I got to the part outside of the Pawn encampment where you have to grab onto that troll thing) I put it down and probably won't pick it up again for a while, at least until I'm in a situation where there's literally nothing else to play.
I suspect it's one of those games where if you stick through the garbage dump at the beginning, it gets really good, but man did it leave a terrible first impression. The UI in particular is one of the worst pieces of shit I've ever seen. I couldn't even figure out how to equip an item at first, and the art on the UI looks like a complete joke.

This quest bothered me for the same reason. He should want my head on a pike but I can come and go as I please.
It's like joining the Stormcloaks as a High Elf in Skyrim - shit don't make sense. But this was a pre-defined story moment, you'd think they'd change things up a bit. Use the incident to end a story arc or something.
I was kinda wondering if I was able to just stand there for awhile and let it pass. But that seemed reallllly fucked up, haha.
I somehow missed this quest, as well as the Blighted Manse (which annoys me greatly) but that happens throughout the game and even in post-game. In one scene the duke
sends his guards after you and you have to flee the city... and then you just walk in and everyone acts like it never happened.
Also, I found some creepy dude in a dark corner by the western gate up against the wall. His name is Walter or something. I think he's been there the whole game but I never found him till now

Really? Hit Pause > go to Equipment > select what you want.
Is that so hard?
The menu & UI is as standard & simple as you can get.
I'm sure one of the Dragon's Dogma wiki's have all that.
