Dragon's Dogma |OT| For the night is dark and full of terrors

I killed the pet ogre in hopes to anger the women enough to attack me so I could finish the kill 35 female bandits quest...no such luck.

Just go to the nearby Greatwall camp, send your Ophis badge of Amenity to your storage, then sleep for a few days and the femdits should respawn.
 
I'm a mage and I made my main pawn a mage too. Will this be a problem?

No, not at all. So far I've been travelling with two mages and a fighter, while I'm a strider.

You can change you and your main pawns class later on anyways, so don't worry about it.

Tip: Have your main pawns priority set to healing you over attacking. It helps sooo much!

God's had his chance.
Broke 200 hours over this weekend... definitely got my 60 bucks worth ...

Started in on the magical vocations after finishing up strider. Got most of the way through mage and was like "Yea not bad.." switched to Sorcerer and hired 2 more Sorc pawns ..(that's a full group of sorcerers right there) ...

holy. Shit.

This is bananas. Straight Cray. Good god.

Took pictures of casting my first bolide... as i'm sure most do... something about this game man. So freakin good. And what I love the most? No matter how impressive and fun and crazy insane the magic gets (and gets to be all of those things in SPADES at times.. no doubt) I can't help but miss my assassin and want to change back BAD.

Killed my first dragon at lvl 31, with a lvl 28 and 30 pawn. Feels good.

Also, the wikia says pawns can't get items Dragon forged, it's false. One of my own had one item upgraded.

No that's true. Pawns can't have their items dragon forged. You probably saw someone else's pawn or someone gifted the item to you and you didn't change back to your old equipment.

My pawn has close to 800 for magic attack and I only have 500, still only rank 5 sorcerer too so she has more spells than me.

Magick Archer is so much more fun than playing as a Warrior, holy shit. The daggers are fun as always, and having some nice long-range magical attacks also helps. Too bad my bow is pretty crappy, I think (Herald's Helix if I remember correctly).

I hate warrior because of their 3 skills limit.

Mystic knight, assassin, magic archer are probably the most fun, I even liked strider more than the warrior, I still need to try ranger.

I think the bow skills are based on elemental for MA so it's kind of weak for certain situation

GAF, I'm worried I messed something up. I got the quest for Fournivals trial on my game and didn't realize it was timed. So I went out exploring and forgot about the quest and eventually failed it trying to make my way back.

Am I screwed? Does that guy sell anything good Or give me good money for selling to him? Was there a quest reward?!

I'm about to start a new file with a new account on the ps3. Kind of wanted to play a mage anyway...

Only the gold idol from his daughter if you haven't already got it, he sells cheaper warp stones (10k cheaper than black cat) and some cape that I've never bothered buying myself (it looked ugly and not too useful), I wouldn't worry too much about it since I think the trial is more than half way through the game.

What cape is that? I've heard people alternatively call it awesome and of no consequence. I've got the Nebula cape and have been wearing it for days now. Is the Ancient cape worth hunting down?

fournival has never been not guilty in my game. twice now i've tried hard to get him free and both times it's guilty. That's the most obtuse fucking quest in the whole game i sware to god.

Also.. at what point is the mission for the witch turned off? I'm sure i'm well past it on this go around but i'd like to make her my bff on my next playthrough.
 
Re: fournival's trial, I've just done that quest on my second playthrough and had no trouble finding him innocent. I only gathered the evidence I was told to gather, did an escort mission from the North Stone (it was Cassardis on my first playthrough) and forged 4 testimonies through Reynard. I was even missing testimonies from Cassardis and from his daughter, probably because of some quests I had skipped.

I think you only need 3 things for or against Fournival to find him guilty or innocent.

ancient cape has nice status preventions for magic users iirc

To find Fournival not guilty you need 4 petitions in his favor and an escort quest. 4 forged petitions = real petition. You also need to destroy any condemnations you receive if you talk to the wrong people.

In terms of gear, are there any significant ones that are missable if you don't do things a certain way?

Also, I presume all skills are unlocked for purchase as you level up your character?

Skills based on a vocation. You can potentially learn every skill in the game. As you get vocation levels those skills are unlocked.

Yes there are lots and lots of missables. However it's mostly inconsequential.
 
What the hell at the suicide monster when you first enter Everfall!? Did he just jump off the cliff and die!? LOOOOOOOOL!

Also....how can you tell what the main quest is and what is a side quest when selecting a quest? Am I missing something?

The main quests are usually given out by the same dude(s), you will know after finishing the everfall quest (which is a main story quest), it should direct you to maximillion, it's pretty linear

According to the wikia, only 2 forged petitions are needed to count as one real one. I hope so, haha. I'm waiting for the timer to complete, I'll let you know.
 
I picked up all the petitions in the city and did the escort quest, but I decided not to buy anything off the seller as my character is honourable and lets justice have its course. I also saved the house for the family so I didn't get anything negative from them. Fournival was found not guilty.

I just started doing his quests. I hope I don't have to do too many for him. I feel like the story has come to a screeching halt.....it seems like a pretty lazy design choice to do this from Capcom.
 
I'm really hating these quests you can fail. So the chick in the white cape with the French accent I was supossed to take somewhere vanished halfway there and mission failed. Do I get another go at it or is she dead now? I also failed the training mission somehow. Can I redo that?

Mercedes isn't permanently dead, but if you leave her alone during an escort mission and some bandits come and do terrible things to her, whose fault is that?

Won't be able to do that quest any more. Mercedes (I believe) will respawn at the castle after like 7 days of sleeping.

I think I'm finally done with this game. 4 character over 2 accounts, with 80+ offline ur-dragon kills for a double sorcerer only playthrough, 3 million RC on my first character, one pawnless playthrough, yeah I think I got my money's worth.

So I need some help.

I am finishing up round two of the game and I still need one board quest to get to 50 for the achievement. I think a few that I have are not able to be completed anymore so I am relying on finding Bay Leaves...but apparently I missed a quest that opens the area where they are. Can anyone gift me some? I am on Xbox and my GT is the same as my gaf name.

Also gifting...so there is an achievement for giving 50 right? I give a gift to every pawn whenI release them yet I did not get this. Is it glitched?

Finally what is the max lvl you can get to? I am currently 93 or so and i was thinking about putting the game to bed at 100.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Are they King Bay Leaves? If so, you can find them behind the witches house where you
rescue her at some point
around her
masters grave is located
. Around the tree. there's usually 3 that spawn at a time. Unfortunately, I'm playing on the ps3 so I can't gift you. If you have even 1, have you tried forging?

I think the 50 gifts apply to the people with affinity. When you talk to any of them there's the option to gift. I think you have to gift those ppl 50 times.

I think max level is 200, I'm not sure havent played in a week.
