User talk:Jonggonzales1

Hi Jonggonzales1,

Welcome to the wiki, we are always glad to have new and dedicated members.

I've seen you've taking a liking in adding to the wikia, That's so cool ! Thank you.

Here are a few guidelines to the Wiki's editorial style :
 * 1) The primary goal of this Wiki is to provide a safe, open forum and to provide accurate game information for new and veteran players alike.  Please keep this in mind when writing comments and articles.
 * 2) Always use the third person.  Instead of "you", please use "the Arisen" or "the player" instead.
 * 3) Remain as factual as possible.  Conjecture should remain the Comments section.  When in doubt, qualify any statements with "usually", "arguably", or "seems".
 * 4) Keep personal opinion to a minimum in the formal articles, with some laxity afforded to the Notes, Trivia, Tactics, and Comments sections.
 * 5) No jokes or slang in the formal articles, please.
 * 6) Follow established page templates, headers, and formats for consistency.
 * 7) Use link with either  or the Add Link button to improve navigation between differents pages.

Feel free to direct any problems or question to the wiki Admin : Obsidian Draconis.

We look forward to reading your contributions !

And BTW, good job : )

Heya Jon,

It's my pleasure, although I'm not as active as I use to be. Feel free to ask around if you have any questions, there's generally someone who is willing to help. You can always leave any questions you might have on my talk page or message me on Xbox Live.

Cheers and happy gaming!

hey man! just wanted to know if i could add your gamertag, i dont see many people playing this anymore for xbox lol so its rare that i have people playing to use their pawns

Hi Jonggonzales,

Please don't go too heavily on adding new or existing categories.

There are already a lot of them and we try to avoid that each category become too cluttered.

I've left the Weapons categories you've added because it did make sense IMO but those things are always open to debate.

Resist the lure of the Dark side of achievements ; p

Anyway keep up the good work.

MotherLilith (talk) 12:39, February 14, 2014 (UTC)

Hi Jonggonzales1,

No problem, I've done so many mistakes on this wiki...

Hopefully Kraissant was always behind me for cleaning the mess ; p

You can remove categories by clicking on 'Page Settings' in the header in Edit Mode.

And you can add them simply with the 'add category'.

I think typing a inexisting category wikk create it so be careful about typos.

See you.

I have about a hundred Dwells-in-Lights (I am both #11 and around #25 with two dedicated Ur Dragon killers).

If you want one, send me an XBL message to either GT: Sekhmeti or GT: Karathrax to let me know one of your pawns is Warrior in the Rift.

Any admins?
Hey, do you have any idea if any of the admins are active still? A vandal just popped out and he should probably be reported to someone. Saba0th (talk) 00:58, November 26, 2014 (UTC)

I meant this one: Special:Contributions/67.221.255.96. Might be just a one-timer, but messing up user pages looks like a serious case of vandalism. Yeah, I think I'll report them, just in case. Thanks for the info! Saba0th (talk) 02:06, November 26, 2014 (UTC)

Blessed Flower Gift
Oh wow, thank you Jon! I actually had this one already (second playthrough and got the Hero achievement too), but thanks nevertheless! This will be most useful when I start farming BBI for exp. (haven't been there still...). I'll be receiving this one on Friday. Thanks again. EDIT: Uhm, could you play with my pawn a bit, too? I could use the RC when I start Purifying and Rarifying. She might not have the best stats but at least she's got the Devil's Nail. :P Saba0th (talk) 23:16, December 2, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks! When I play games in which I can create my own character, I play girls almost exclusively (exceptions: the Mass Effect trilogy and DA:O). They're... nicer to look at. ;) Hope she'll be of any use, for now she's the party's sort of an AOE CC meatshield. Saba0th (talk) 23:45, December 2, 2014 (UTC)

In response to your question
Hey! :) (Sorry for those few hours of delay, time differences suck.) I didn't want to leave my answer in the comments, out in the open, so I'll tell you here. I can't play my XBox during the week, because I'm out in a dorm, in another city. The Internet access is there, but there's no screen to which I could plug the console in (not to mention, that moving the console back and forth between my home and the dorm would be a pain). All that leaves me with only Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and a bit of Monday, to play Dogma, which is all I'm doing on the XBox lately. :P So, there you go! :) Saba0th (talk) 11:55, December 4, 2014 (UTC)

Hi;

Thanks for the style guide info you sent me yesterday. I have studied it, am now following it, and cleaning up some of my earlier stuff.

I just added a picture to Badge of Vows 37:

http://dragonsdogma.wikia.com/wiki/From_A_Different_Sky_-_Part_4

I had problems sizing the picture. Could you take a look at it and adjust the sizing and/or tell me how to do it. Also, I have a number of photos to fill in the entries with missing pictures. Do you have any advice as to how I might avoid the resizing issue in the future.

Ur-Dragon 619
No man, unfortunately, I've slept it over. :P I've checked the forums and saw that grace happened at ~8:00AM European time, so I think that even if I got up at the time, I would be out of the net. :/ Heh, maybe the current gen will be better. I'll stick some Makers' Fingers up his ass. Let's see how he likes that! :P Saba0th (talk) 17:05, December 7, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the info on the picture. The way you positioned it looks great. I'm also getting slowly smarter and read the part how browsers aren't equal with respect to the editor. I'd been using Chrome initially but, for some reason, switched to IE for the images. Chrome seems to be far superior.

I'm making a point of taking a picture wherever there's one missing. So, I hope to be able to illustrate every entry that doesn't already have a picture.

Thanks, again,

Hi;

I think I've got the hang of the image editing. I added 7 images to From a Different Sky--Part 5. I think I was able to make them consistent with the few images that were on the page to begin with:

http://dragonsdogma.wikia.com/wiki/From_A_Different_Sky_-_Part_5

Your tips helped a lot. Thanks again.

Allgorhythm (talk) 03:57, December 8, 2014 (UTC)Allgorhythm

The only way I was able to do it was by using the visual editor and entering the category manually by typing it into the right hand column's box. I'm not sure why these items couldn't be added via the 'add category' button on the regular item page, but I'd noticed that it didn't work with Mushroom Potage, and that's how I'd entered it.

I went ahead and added the rest of the items to the category.

Karathrax (talk) 05:49, December 8, 2014 (UTC)

I saw your comment about the Firedrake gliding. A dragon has two Alulas. Both have to be broken for the Dragon to be truly grounded. I did a lot of experimentation on the Cursed Dragon because the wings are very much harder to break than on the Dire Dragons.

More often than not, you do not get the Alula drop when you break an Alula. So, you probably have truly grounded dragons without realizing it by breaking both Alulas. If an Alula drops, then you know for certainty that you have broken one of the wings. If both Alula drop, they you know for a certainty that both wings are disabled and the Dragon cannot fly.

The pawns are not always accurate. We were doing some tests about a month ago with the Cursed Dragon. For the putrid breath/rotted perishable flag to be triggered, the perishable must actually rot. The pawns will comment that stuff has rotted either when there is no stuff to rot or fresh perishables have transitioned to the sour/rank/moldy stage. I suspect for the family flag that pertains to all dragons, you must truly ground a dragon. That's not a problem because the Devilfire Grove Drake is not that robust and its wings are both easily damaged.

If you're interested in testing this, the CD in the Midnight Helix, pre- and post- Daimon is a good one. It is highly unlikely that you will destroy both wings at once. Get on its back and destroy one wing--Strider 1000 kisses, Assassin Dire Gouge, etc. In my tests, I would wait until I got an Alula drop so I was certain one wing was destroyed. Then, I would work on the other wing. When it is destroyed, the CD will drop to the ground and will be unable to fly.

I have often heard the pawns say, "'Tis grounded!" when the dragon can still fly. It happens mostly with the Cursed Dragon because its wings are much harder to destroy. With the other dragons, generally when you destroy one wing as evidenced by an Alula drop, you usually destroy the other as well but because the Alula drop is an infrequent drop, you rarely get both alula drops at once. With the CD, the reverse is true. Unless you are using a superpowerful attack, when you damage one wing, you usually do not damage the other. I've had an Assassin with Dire Gouge and Striders, Magick Archers, & Rangers (1,000 Kisses) try to destroy the wings. Only one is destroyed at a time when the same tactics will destroy both wings on a Dire Dragon. The strike point is the shoulder blades or where the wings attach. When one CD wing is destroyed, the pawns announce, "Tis grounded!" However, the dragon is not grounded until the second wing is destroyed.

I have witnessed two forms of a glide on several occasions:

1. I have seen a gliding attack several times that I believe is similar to the one you described with the Firedrake. The times I have seen it have been in the Fallen City with the Thunderwyvern. In the Rotunda of Dread, whenever, I have shot a dragon in the heart or head, it falls straight down. In the Fallen City, normally when I shoot a Thunderwyvern and always when I shoot one of the dual Wyverns, it falls straight down. On very few occasions, when I shoot the Thunderwyvern, it does not fall but wheels around and then goes into a gliding attack. I have always taken this to mean that the Thunderwyvern is handicapped by the loss of one wing and is trying a dive attack. Because of the injury, the dive attack is different.

2. On GameFAQ's one of the contributors, MiZDove, discovered under certain conditions, pawns would climb onto an enemy. It seemed very odd because one of the pawns was an accomplished sorcerer who climbed on the dragon to use a bare fisted attack instead of a lethal spell. It was initially reported in post #65 here:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/626514-dragons-dogma/70438643?page=6

The gist of what happened is this:

 "This time, I paused and selected Share so I could really spin around and see who was doing what. Everyone was on the dragon except Tyrion who looks like he just let go. Draken was on the neck, arisen on the elbow, and Crazy Horse for some inexplicable reason, was between the wings. The stars popped before it was slain - in fact I godsbaned and didn't even kill it.

 Could the dragons have an "All Aboard" flag too? hmmmmm."

 We called it the All Aboard tactic and determined that Crazy Horse, the sorcerer was using the bare-handed attack. Both MiZDove and I were able to duplicate it separately. I did a fairly extensive test and reported the results in post #87 here:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/626514-dragons-dogma/70438643?page=8

What I didn't discuss is that the dragons would often go into an uncontrolled dive similar to the Griffin falling to earth on an oblique slope. This dive is very different from what I had seen with the Thunderwyvern and definitely attributed to the fact that the Dragon was both overloaded and in distress from the attack. Several people tried it and, in our collaborative discussion, we concluded that the overloaded condition put the dragon in distress similar to when it writhes on the ground and is much more vulnerable. It is for this reason that the sorcerer changed tactics and participated in the all aboard tactic. His barehanded attacks when the dragon was in distress were more deadly than powerful spells delivered to the dragon while it was in battle stance.

<p class="MsoNormal">This is a long way of saying that when the dragon is overloaded with three or four people who are attacking it, it is only capable of uncontrolled low altitude flight. I'm sure this is very different from what you are describing because your dragon was not overloaded and I believe that is a necessary condition for this type of low altitude flight to occur.

Hi;

I just finished the article I was working on at:

http://dragonsdogma.wikia.com/wiki/Maximizing_Arisen_and_Main_Pawn_Stats

It's intended as a practical example to complement the Stats and Stat Growths pages. If there's anything you would like me to add, modify, or delete; I would be happy to oblige.

Allgorhythm (talk) 18:58, December 12, 2014 (UTC)Allgorhythm

Thanks. I'd been exchanging private messages on GameFAQs with a couple of people in Denmark who had been using the automatic builder. GameFAQs limits the number of characters and I also realized that quite a lot of people were interested in it and what better place to put it than the authoritative source.

Since I started with pen and paper RPGs, this kind of thought process is second nature. What is important when you use an automated tool or manual calculations is to establish a baseline or frame of reference. So, that is what this article provides.

I'm still getting accustomed to the editing tools on the site so I appreciate all the help I can get and I've seen you're very active.

Allgorhythm (talk) 19:24, December 12, 2014 (UTC)Allgorhythm

I'll start working on your points right away. I tried earlier to do something about the fonts. I thought the Visual Editor would handle it with the paragraph style. I'll send Kara a note as well. I'm very appreciative of what she's done on the GameFAQ pawn rental site and have enormous respect for her DD:DA expertise.

Video Thumbnails
By any chance, do you know how to insert a video thumbnail into the wiki. I've been providing very short videos to illustrate certain techniques. I've done this so far on the Daimon, Griffin, and Bloodless Stockade pages. However, the only way I know how to insert the video is through a URL.

Thanks in advance,

Allgorhythm (talk) 16:27, March 20, 2015 (UTC)Allgorhythm

Thanks for the quick response. I've looked at the source editor but it doesn't give insight into how it's done. I'll find recent examples and ask the authors how they did it.

Thanks for your trouble,

Hey, Jon, look! This is what we're dealing with here and on GameFAQs: http://segaforums.wikia.com/wiki/Hoggys2much (link provided by @heatht). --Saba0th (talk) 01:05, April 1, 2015 (UTC)

Article Changes
Hey Jon,

I should have dropped you a line. So I apologize for that. In hindsight I probably should have simply edited the Fournival page instead of reverting. But reverting was easier. The reason for this is that I read you changes and found they added nothing new to the page. Not even improved the readability. This was not the case with the Valmiro page and this is why I simply edited some of the text, and most of that were not even your edits, but probably my own from a while back.

Wiki's are contstantly edited and updated with new information, but we should focus on improving pages and adding new info or fixing errors. As I said, it may have been a little overzealous, but I still stand by my statement that edits should be made to improve or add something new, not just to reword entire texts that were ok to begin with. In the end I cannot prevent anyone from making edits or putting the edits back in that were removed. Nor would I want to do that to be honest. It is a free wiki and people can do what they want. The only point I made with the revert was as I explained above.

If you'd like to discuss your edits in more detail let me know. Perhaps we can even pop into the chat. It's empty anyways ;)

--AeonsLegend (contact me) 10:39, April 2, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hey,


 * You don't have to justify to me how long you've been making edits. Whether you've made 10K edits or a single edit shouldn't make a difference in how it is reviewed.


 * The reason we're having this discussion now is not because I reverted your change, nor that your text was altered, because it is fact that this happens on Wiki's on a daily basis. The reason we're talking about it now is because I did it right after you've made the changes. If I waited half a year and changed the entire article (perhaps for the better) it would have been a non-issue.


 * But like I said, It is my opinion versus yours and I do not weigh my opinion higher than yours when it comes to the wiki other than it is my opinion. I felt that it largely was an unnecessary edit. I've seen far too many people edit pages with information that doesn't help or is not necessary to understand the contents. You can mince words over wording. I don't particularly like the ye olde English style of writing, but I agree that styles such as "you should" are better written as "Go here" or "do that" even if I wrote it wrong myself in the pages. It's fine if someone corrects that.


 * I think we have the same goal and that is to improve the wiki. Different views aside. Let's keep it at that.

Article cleanup
Hey Jon,

since you're the most active here I thought I'd drop you a line on my opinion on some of the articles here. I've noticed an increase in articles since my departure that contain use of CAPS, opinions and even incorrect information. The worst of these are the enemy tactics sections. I've attempted to strip them of these, but it's far too much for me to do on my own. Can you help out?

All use of caps should be removed. There's plenty of sentences like: "This will ALWAYS work.". There is no need to emphasise the word "always".

All opinions should be removed. I noticed mild and aggressive use of opinions in artciles. such as: "This attack does massive damage", or "this is the best way to do this". Tactics should describe what a player should do in order to reach the result of the tactic. Nothing more. If an attack deals a lot of damage when compared to other attacks, it should state why this is so. I also noticed that a lot of articles describe personal experiences as fact. For instance, breaking a Dragon's horn will cause a Road attack that kills the pawns. This is not always the case. What breaking the horn does is cause the Dragon to start using the Roar attack. Most often it will use it right away, but not always. It may feel this way, but the articles should never reflect a players personal opinions.

Anotehr thing I notices was that articles contain incorrect facts. Like you have to use a Godsbane in order to be able to use tactic X. This is untrue. The godsbane only speeds up the proces, but is in no way required for the game other than to kill yourself after killing the Senechal.

So in short, I want to ask for your help in cleaning up the articles.

Some articles or sentences may be tough to judge. You can always discuss things with me of course if you're unsure.

AeonsLegend (contact me) 15:41, April 9, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Thing is. A lot of the pages have been rewritten making them valuable for only people that have Dark Arisen and play in post game or even new game plus. The wiki should contain information that helps everyone, not just the ones that have completed the game 10 times. You don't obtain the godsbane until post game, but the strategy for opening chests remains the same. You can reset (or kill yourself another way) to reload the game and then open the chest again. I've timed this, it takes about 1,5 minutes this way not 5. Original players have done this prior to post game until they found a way to speed up the proces with the godsbane. Again, the info on the wiki should be helpful for anyone at any stage in the game.


 * With regard to your reference on how active the game is played. Probably not that active at the moment, but it's still being played. Soon Dragon's Dogma Online will come out, which will also increase activity and when Dragon's Dogma 2 finally comes out people will also want to play the first game if they haven't done so. In the next 3-4 years I expect this site to still see frequent activity.


 * As far as the walkthroughs go, I wrote about 90% of them and I played those quests many many times to test things out so I was sure the information was 100% correct. Some pages have had information removed or inserted incorrect information so I fix those pages again. I don't mind people editing pages I wrote, even if I wrote all of it. But the info in them should at least be written in an objective manner, be consistent and should not contain incorrect information. For example I just fixed an error in the Griffin's Bane walkthrough. It stated that "a little" QTE would make a carried goblin vanish. This is not objectively written and it is also untrue. I play like that all the time and it does not vanish. Corpses vanish only if you leave them on the ground for too long. There is ample time to pick up the goblin before it vanishes. I do the same with the Cyclops feeding quest. I drop and pick up the Goblin three times and it doesn't vanish. An update to the quest earlier also advised new players with Dark Arisen to trael to the bluemoon tower before the quest which is a completely pointless excersize because you have to walk that entire way anyway. You may as well do it during the quest when you actually need to be there. So I rewrote it to say that a previously places portcrystal may be used to travel there more quickly rather than telling the player that a portcrystal should be placed to speed things up, which is nonsense.

Great Gamble and Video Capture

 * I see where you say you like Great Gamble.  I just added an alternate Ranger pawn specific strategy based around Great Gamble that you might enjoy.  Check out the Ur-Dragon page


 * Going back to our video capture discussion, the reason I got the Elgato was to be able to record a ten minute Ur-D video.  This one illustrates the Great Gamble strategy.  No magic, strength, or defensive boosters are used.  Before the video starts, I had taken one Decade-Dried Harspud and one Liquid Vim.  As it turns out, they were not necessary and I did not replenish them.  In fact, the menu is not opened during the entire 10 minute video:


 * Ur Dragon Staggered'll see liberal use of Finest Herb Ale.  Up until a couple of weeks ago, Fournival did not have unlimited quantities of Mushroom Potage so I found it easier to acquire Perfect Herb Ale and Finest Herb Ale.  So, I'm using up some of my excess quantities.  In addition to Great Gamble, I rely heavily on over-the-top stagger and knockdown.  Segnbora and nora came to me with fancy rings.  I replaced them, in each case, with a couple of Barbed Nails.  Leila, my Arisen, and Nei are also each equipped with a pair of Barbed Nails.  In total, the eight Barbed Nails in the party provides it with an additional 800 stagger and 800 knockdown.


 * The video was super simple to make.  All I did was press a 'button' on the software to start recording and press it again when finished.  If I'd wanted to, I could have pressed another button and exported directly to Youtube in MP4 format.  However, I used my own software to convert to WMV and uploaded it.  It took about two minutes for the conversion and, because it was a longer video, about 15 minutes to finish uploading to youtube.  Then, on the edit screen of your talk page, I clicked on 'Video' in the 'Add features and media' section on the right hand side of the editing screen.  I entered the URL of my Youtube video and voila!


 * Allgorhythm (talk) 22:10, April 27, 2015 (UTC)Allgorhythm


 * I'm very interested in Flying Din and Fearful Din.  I have come to appreciate the value of stagger and knockdown on Hard Difficulty as I mentioned earlier.  These skills are among those with high stagger.  I can imagine the effect they might have on enemies when the Ranger is equipped with two Barbed Nails and is using the extremely high stagger/high knockdown Revenant Wail.  I had intended to first do an experiment to see if I could stagger Death and what results I could obtain by using one, two, or three Rangers with only Fearful Din equipped (no daggers, just Revenant Wail).
 * Allgorhythm (talk) 18:35, April 28, 2015 (UTC)Allgorhythm



I think Fearful Din will be a novelty. I figure, if it is to be successful at all, the Ranger must have extremely high stagger to begin with. That's why I'd equip the Barbed Nails and Revenant Wail. However, skills like Tenfold Flurry and Great Gamble would probably do a better job of staggering a big enemy besides contributing significant damage. However, you never know until you try something out.

Magnitude
Hi, you added "◾Doesn't appear to increase the effectiveness of Lassitude, Silentium, Petrifaction and Blearing. " - wondering - if you tested this your self did you test against creatures that take only 3-4 hits to debilitate?? In my experience with other augments that boost debilitations (ie Morbidity) the effect doesn't show unless the creature is really resistant (like 10+ hits)..

If you haven't tested against v. high resistance enemies then there's still hope - thing is we are running out of things that magnitude could actually do /-)

There were some other skills that looked bugged but turned out the descriptions were confusing.. Anyway if you have any ideas what it might do please leave a note and I could have a go a testing eventually. Thanks.

Great Hydra Video
Great Hydra Video. I assume it was made with your new Elgato. How's it working out?

You made me nostalgic for Assassin. I've been going with Strider for the faster climbing speeds and Magick Archer is so convenient in BBI but Assassin is my favorite. Love the cool animations.

Allgorhythm (talk) 02:09, June 3, 2015 (UTC)Allgorhythm

After I saw the Hydra video, I looked up the others. It just so happened that Hydra, a page I follow, was the first I received a notification.

They look great and, of course, I'll stay tuned.

We also both agree that Instant Reset has a wide variety of uses. The non-dagger vocations have some great skills, especially MK. However, no one can move as elegantly as the dagger vocations and turn on a dime if needs be.

Allgorhythm (talk) 03:38, June 3, 2015 (UTC)Allgorhythm

I don't have any videos planned. That may change as I try some of the other vocations against Ur-D. I'm curious regarding whether Ur-D is susceptible to High Grapple and would like to assemble a team of three mages with High Grapple as the only skill or the only skill along with Holy Affinity.

I think you should pursue your videos. Some videos demonstrate a spectacular technique--Ghost's Perfect Block/Reflect video is my favorite among his exceptional videos. However, from a military tactics perspective, it's a poor alternative to taking out Daimon in 20 seconds with a direct attack--Blast Arrows or 1,000 Kisses/Dire Gouge against the head (or chest for the 2nd form). Other videos are instructional in nature--they help players learn the fundamentals of the game, unlock achievements, beat difficult opponents. This second type of video should be easy for relatively new players to grasp and help them get through the game.

Video Submission
Thank you for your Wiki submissions. Please be sure your video submissions are applied in correct format to the wiki. I moved your videos into the correct format, see the Media section in Drake. Please move your other videos into this format as well, such as Snow Harpy. If you are having difficulty using the source coding to do so let me know and I can help you.

Here is an example of how it should look (pulled from Drake):

Video Submission/ Format
Hey Jonggonzales,

(1) Best thing I can suggest is following the source code format I provided above. It may be difficult to translate at first, but you might be able to understand it functionality as you play with it more. If you can't develop a translation I will see If I can develop a template that you can use to simply add your videos. (When my time allows).

(2) We will want to tab gallery pictures first then tab videos. Most wikis follow this format and a lot of the articles have already used this format.

(3) I will see If I can come in and help you clean up the ones you have submitted. Suggestively any new videos you submit you will want to follow the format as was suggested.

Jon, I would appreciate it if you would re-do your video on Perfect Blocks. The technique, including the description, is incorrect, there is no need to hold the shield out in guard position prior to executing the perfect block itself.

I am therefore going to revert your edit.

Karathrax (talk) 03:28, January 17, 2016 (UTC)

Perfect Block video(s)
" To mitigate my late timing, I found that "pre-blocking" and then quickly releasing and re-pressing at the moment of impact made my window of vulnerability much smaller."

I agree with your explanation, however, you removed a video that had a perfectly executed Perfect Block to do so. What I like about your video, though, is that the Fire perfect block effects are very clearly delineated, and that is also useful information together with your timing mitigation trick.

What I think appropriate is to add your video rather than replace the original one, and rewrite your description such that says in so many words that if the player is not always confident in PB  execution, timing precision can be mitigated by... etc.

Sound good? ;)

Karathrax (talk) 05:45, January 17, 2016 (UTC)

(hey, I remembered the caption AND to sign it, haha)

thanks for the advice

i just got the game today. im starting out as a fighter though later ill switch to strider and play about untill i gt good stats

then ill switch to mystic knight :)  Halibel2015 (talk) 21:59, February 5, 2016 (UTC)

thanks ill come to you when i need advice :)

im goodnaturedly giggling at my slightly too tall slightly too muscular female hero :p

next time ill know more what to expect in scaling at least :p :D

i wantd to make her big (but not that big) so she would be more durable  in fights since ill mostly be meleeing

untill i get my mystic knight skills ready :) Halibel2015 (talk) 00:27, February 6, 2016 (UTC)

where can i advertise my pawn? i want people to know about her  they can use her,Halibel2015 (talk) 18:39, February 6, 2016 (UTC)

i have a few questions

1 does it cost rift crystals to hire pawns? like i met one that says 1 million rc :o

2 do pawns leave you on their own? or just when you dismiss them

while i was fighting the hydra/snake thing a pawn i hired left mid battle but she might have been killed it was hectic and icouldnt really read what the message said other than the pawn had left.

i was wondering if its like shadowrun on super nes where after a set mount of time the mercs take their money and depart.Halibel2015 (talk) 18:13, February 7, 2016 (UTC)

hi jon

sorry for all the kooky qestions.

im a veteran gamer from back at the dawn of time when the nes was new.

i have played many rpgs, im just new at THIS game and trying to learn all i can about it.

and yeah i should search the wiki more before asking questions i just like commenting and being social with other players.

im on ps3 so yeah we cant ally or i would gladly accept your help.

im an adult in my 30s by the way.

anyway ill try to restrain myself in the future im new at  wikis i havent spent much time on them.Halibel2015 (talk) 05:14, February 8, 2016 (UTC)

hi jon

nah its cool i know how hard keeping the peace is when you have trlls looking for trouble online.

i was once an admin in a facebook group for an online game and i had to deal with weirdos and bullys from time to time.

i still inexperienced with wikis i havent used them much so im not always sure proper ways of messaging and ect

way back in 2010 i thnk it was, i didnt have a computer just my nintendo ds and i was using the bleach wiki and

i got banned for a week becuase i was asking too many questions (oops ;p )

i didnt know they were talking to me since i had only an ip and no account. (my only ban anywhere i might add)

the resident evil wiki i never spent much time on becuase it was filled with trolls and nobody was even trying to keep the pages clean.

then when i asked legitimate questions i got trolled.

the mass effect wiki i only read i have never posted or asked questions there yet.

anyway im glad all is well here you seem nice and helpful too :)Halibel2015 (talk) 16:06, February 8, 2016 (UTC)

hi jon

i will ty to remeber to read the articles in the wiki and watch any videos i see so your hard work is rewarded.

ill let you know if i come up with any ideas for you be they articles or videos

im trying to think of what i need right now

im currently on the quest for the book in gran soren thoguh i was slightly waylaid

by trying to stop what looked like a mugger only to get tossed in the dungeon :p

now that im free (and have made a skeleton key with knowledge from this wiki :D )

i can avoid that next time.

ill try a little longer before looking it up on the wiki.

i hope tha tflower quest wasnt imprtant i missed on completing it because

mercedes dragged me off on her road trip without letting me refuse :pHalibel2015 (talk) 04:27, February 9, 2016 (UTC)

oh i forgot is rook the only pawn that dosent level up?

i have another hired pawn that seems stuck at level 11

ok thanks ill check it out

Halibel2015 (talk) 18:36, February 9, 2016 (UTC)

looks like its time to grind levels up and look for equipment

i walked for about 2 days  to get to where the book is located only to have a chimera start roaming about.

i had it half dead when i got cheap shotted so i finally decided to retreat and suddenly there were thieves ,saurians, and wolves coming out of the woodwork (and some big ogre looking thing wandering the road that i decided to not get a good look at)

basicly i ran back to the nearest town and left my pawns to die since they didnt want to follow me

now that i have my mage back along with 2 new pawns i guess ill grind a bit untill i can take those things on.Halibel2015 (talk) 22:10, February 9, 2016 (UTC)

quick question: when i was running from the aforemntioned chimera (i assume it was a lion with anther head and a snake tail)

i hada quest call "slay your enemeis" it said i failed as i ran but it isnt listed as failed in my completed quests

will i be able to do that later?

sorry if im still nagging on the questions i should probly search the wiki Halibel2015 (talk) 23:12, February 9, 2016 (UTC)

thanks  good to know :)

what do you reccomend?

my mage was yelling about magic but thats pretty much just her and rook while he was alive

right now im just a fighter though ill build up to mystic knight one day and possibly try being a strider too

just to see what we get. for now i hired a strider and a warrior/fighter(i forget which it was)

one other question

i saw somewhere on th wiki that theres a penalty/difference based on male or female characters

but i cant find anything in detail on the wikiHalibel2015 (talk) 01:52, February 10, 2016 (UTC)

hi jon

same here i prefer having girls when ever i can on most any game that lets you have them.

my main pawn (gloria) is a mage so thats covered.

i can ditch the warrior pawn if i need to for a second strider.

i really liked the strider i first hired but i suppose she will be stuck at lv 4 forever so thats no good.

i do like having distinct voices thoguh so i can tell whos talking and these last 2 i hired sound the same.

anyway im rambling off topic

so ill try either a strider and a sorceror or 2 striders

also if you have a mage that becomes a sorceror do they lose the old magic they knew (such as healing) when they become a sorceror?

also as a side note do they have any "traditional/gandalf looking" hats for the mages/magic users? Halibel2015 (talk) 03:15, February 10, 2016 (UTC)

ok thanks for the tips :)

still working out those party builds meantime, for some reason striders and warriors are not living long

but i probly need to replace them with stronger ones

i dont get why some thieves are pushovers and others just tear your group apart in 3 seconds

do the enemies get stronger as i level up or do i just need to grind more?Halibel2015 (talk) 05:53, February 10, 2016 (UTC)

thanks for the info jon

since your a hardcore gamer like me i wanted to ask

what was the longest and or hardest boss fight you have ever done? (can be in dogma or any other game)

for me the record has to be valkyrie profile on nintendo ds

it took 10 hours. im not even joking.

i checked the time and it took all day.

i dont mean dying over and over either.

it just took that long to kill.

thankfully thats only for a certain ending i can change things to easily avoid it.

i hope im not off topic here. just rembering past battles and thought i would share

i never played punchout (though i wish i could)

have you played final fantasy 8?

to this day i still cannot beat omega weapon thankfully this is an optional bossHalibel2015 (talk) 18:20, February 10, 2016 (UTC)

lol i can see that. 8 and ffx are the only ones i have played

so i cant compare them but i just r eally loved the story andcharacters in 8

in dragons dogma it feels more like lord of the rings leading my small band of freedom fighters :)

i keep thinking of felloship on ps2 a lot because early on you have all 4 hobbitsas a squad (which later is cut down to either aragorn or gandalf and 1 or 2 of the other members)

and secondly wolves everywhere,

this game just has an infinite supply of wolves i think

i must have killed over 1000 wolves in one hour yesterday

at least thats how it felt. :)

what vocation do you thnk i should use?

i like to melee but i need some range and or magicHalibel2015 (talk) 19:51, February 10, 2016 (UTC)

ok i will experiment

but i have to ask...

what makes the ranger so bad?

ive seen you mention it a couple of timesHalibel2015 (talk) 22:05, February 10, 2016 (UTC)

perhaps the most trivial question i have is why did they remove theme song from the old dd?

i get that it seemed out of place but its surprising.Halibel2015 (talk) 22:17, February 10, 2016 (UTC)

agreed the new song fits the tone of the game better.

i remember watching a review where they said it seemed out of place and i agree it was from what i heard of it.

eww first person keep it away.

while i play fps games it just isnt my preference

are other vocations like that such as strider?Halibel2015 (talk) 00:17, February 11, 2016 (UTC)

ok thanks how do you rate the assassin?

what are the pros and cons?

and on a side note heres some humor at my expense.

lately i have been "challenging " myself, since i for so many years,

have always played games as easy as possible

i decided to play the super star wars games on the hardest difficulty

(yep i lost my mind there) but i have played them for so many years i know them well.

despite all the um creative language and urge to smash things i beat empire strikes back and return of the jedi.

super star wars well no luck there :p

i also went back to an old save on (with a new copy of) god of war 2 however im stuck on hard in the snow area

and still fighting the collosus on vh.

im rambling again ill  try to keep my mind on dddaHalibel2015 (talk) 01:37, February 11, 2016 (UTC)

thanks :D

ill play around with those 3 clases and see how i do Halibel2015 (talk) 03:12, February 11, 2016 (UTC)

when i switch vocations does my equpment just dequip or go into storage?

such as if i go from fighter to striderHalibel2015 (talk) 21:12, February 11, 2016 (UTC)

is therer a way to tell what quest is a main quest and whats a side quest ?

it ist really sorted like how it was in games like mass effectHalibel2015 (talk) 00:40, February 12, 2016 (UTC)

if you miss a side quest can it be done in new game + ?

i see a lot of people in the comments comlaining about missing some of themHalibel2015 (talk) 01:46, February 12, 2016 (UTC)

yeah you did i totally forgot sorry about that.

im using the wiki to see what are side quests and whats the main (in this case its lure of the abyss)Halibel2015 (talk) 06:58, February 12, 2016 (UTC)

earlier i was looking at the stuff in the black cat and they have really cool stuff but man its expensive :oHalibel2015 (talk) 08:14, February 12, 2016 (UTC)

if i married selene would she still be at my house next game?

that would mke all those quests easier without all those trips out to the middle of nowhere.Halibel2015 (talk) 08:23, February 12, 2016 (UTC)

so you can romance most anybody?

i was reading the wiki page thats interesting,

i hardly ever get to choose who i want in that regard,

im mostly talking to  madeleine but a woman at gran soren named pipa caught my eye thoguh i dont know

what to give her for gifts or if she will even respond to it. will be a fun experimentHalibel2015 (talk) 21:26, February 12, 2016 (UTC)

another question, if i wanted to build my (main pawn) mage into a harbinger of magical death

would she stay a mage or become a sorceror or other class?

i like her as a healer but id like to see her let loose with magic and destroy all she opposes.Halibel2015 (talk) 00:11, February 13, 2016 (UTC)

i mostly want her to either be a mage with powerful attack and healing or a sorceror whichever would work best

my pawn and arisen are both lv 23 right now

and also i just got bushwacked by saurians and adaro died. is he gonna stay dead?

i was escorting him to some way off place i have never been to.

maybe i should explore that area first so im better prepared if theres a next timeHalibel2015 (talk) 02:16, February 13, 2016 (UTC)

what if i let her gain a few levels as a fighter t build up her strength and stamina/health?Halibel2015 (talk) 02:17, February 13, 2016 (UTC)

ok so far i havent tried any other vocations but i want try out strider or mystic knight for my arisen.

ill keep it magic based for my mage/sorceror, though which would be better leveling as mage then

switching to sorceror or level as sorceror

and go back to mage?Halibel2015 (talk) 02:52, February 13, 2016 (UTC)

do you recomend the arsien level in mystic knight for the magic part?

also what level do you recomend making the switch? or should i level up as a strider too or just

stick to mystic after fighter? Halibel2015 (talk) 03:18, February 13, 2016 (UTC)

thanks ill be sure to try this formula and watch your videos

i do have some questions (sorry i know i keep asking)

about some odd issues

1 i cant make pawns use items

like if they are in need of healing i go to the menu switch to the appropirate tab and use is greyed out

is that normal?

2 and sometimes they talk about staying dry a lot t hough im not sure why

3 i have a lot of cluter items om not sure what i should be carrying or storing

i have a lot of healing items plus ore and combinables etcHalibel2015 (talk) 04:48, February 13, 2016 (UTC)

thanks will deposit unneeded items

pawns dont really bother me just i wasnt sure if they were trying to tell me anythingHalibel2015 (talk) 07:32, February 13, 2016 (UTC)

the other day i was back in the well hunting a saurian nest

my lantern got wet and i couldnet get it to relight even after putting it away and taking it back out

do i need to put more oil in or just dry it off? Halibel2015 (talk) 23:07, February 13, 2016 (UTC)

i havent returned to cursewood yet but but would you recomend i use to beat that chimera

that i ran into that time there? (ironicly the troublesome tome was in another place altogether)

certain classes, builds or weapons /spells i need?Halibel2015 (talk) 02:04, February 14, 2016 (UTC)

thanks ill grind more levels before i head back to cursewood for the chimera.

what level would you say is best to face chimeras?Halibel2015 (talk) 06:56, February 14, 2016 (UTC)

ok iwill make sure she learns those ablitys

right now though im reading about ogres

im a bit uncomfortable reading what it says and knowing im about to send 4 women into the everfall

however ill just see  what i find downthere thoguh im always open to any suggestionsHalibel2015 (talk) 20:32, February 14, 2016 (UTC)

so it doesnt matter if they are all female? is that good or bad?Halibel2015 (talk) 22:17, February 14, 2016 (UTC)

this wiki is really great i can see your putting a lot of hard work and love into it :D

always great when players share what they have learned with others :)

side note im glad my pawns are learning ive noticed that some pawns are doing things i personaly do that other players might not

example is when there are harpys around i jump up and swing at them since im a fighter thats about all i can do

i noticed that towe, the warrior i hired a while back, started doing the same thing jumping up and swinging at them in mid  air

Halibel2015 (talk) 22:33, February 14, 2016 (UTC)

i agree on warriors howver i started hiring them simply becuase they were helping out quite a bit early in the game

thoguh on my way out of the tentacle attack in the ogre quest i had to go back and revive towe (the warrior) 2 maybe 3 times

its probly about time to "update" my pawns to higher level ones.

i just figure while they are helping to leave them alone

im still toying with trying out mystic knight or strider or magik archer

between magick archer and strider how do you rate them?Halibel2015 (talk) 00:18, February 15, 2016 (UTC)

if selene dies will she stay dead? she seems to be asking me to take her to a faraway area i have never visited yet

i swear one day i need to just roam about filling in the map and leveling upHalibel2015 (talk) 00:54, February 15, 2016 (UTC)

good stuff to know

i dont know what happened to selene i got a quest failed notice fending off harpys

and she was nowhere to be found no body on the ground either

i thnk a harpy grabbed her and took off :/

im going ahead and pressing on to the destination (i met a former arisen on the way :o )

so that ill know the land and the oposistion if i get  to retry that quest again

another question (i have so many) does time pass while you have the game paused or are in menus?

im currently at a bandit camp on hillfigure knoll for the night because im literlly in the middle of nowhere at nightHalibel2015 (talk) 02:29, February 15, 2016 (UTC)

ok thanks :)

though i have had it get later while im shopping in town thats the only t ime beside what you decsribe

does the  weather ever change?

right now for some reason it looks over cast like it does at dawn except it isnt getting any brighter and i have been walking a while

also im still a ways up north heading back down conquest road toward gran sorenHalibel2015 (talk) 03:12, February 15, 2016 (UTC)

i know im full of questions today but i have another

what shops are best for weapons and armor?

ive been going to ( i forget his name the guy that enchances weapons in gran soren) and madeleine

mostly, but they hardly have anything good and i saw on the wiki where it said madelien has special female armors to sell

thoguh she doesent unless thats for the idol questHalibel2015 (talk) 04:08, February 15, 2016 (UTC)

the black cat seems to have good things but the prices are through the roof

i guess ill have to keep cheking in as the sroy progresses thenHalibel2015 (talk) 04:35, February 15, 2016 (UTC)

you might have seen my comment on the apropriate page but i will ask anyway just in case

earlier i took an escort quest the wiki said it was for pablo but instead i was asked to take pipa to a differnt location

maybe it differs by what inn you go to?

it was very odd

....but at least it went better than selenes escort i thk a harpy grabbed her.

i got a quest failed notice in battle and she was no where in sight afterward

i apologoze if thats a repeat, im not sure if i mentioned that or not. but like you said she will probly turn up again.Halibel2015 (talk) 08:19, February 15, 2016 (UTC)

im looking at your maps for the escort quests i guess they must have lots of random versions?

any way who or what is the most anoying character or enemy to you in the game?

so far snow harpys fpr enemies (for me) Halibel2015 (talk) 09:19, February 15, 2016 (UTC)

good news the chimera is dead :)

it was a long grueling fight but it was mostly outside interfernce that was making it hard

wolves ,thieves, skeletons, sorcerors and some guy that looked like a hybrid of kylo ren and the witch king

were making things tough. at some point though they all died and we could focus on the chierma and kill itHalibel2015 (talk) 21:41, February 15, 2016 (UTC)

our first time it was alone. then when we ran ito it and started fighting enemies kept joining in during the fight.

that black knight/undead warrior/witch king thing i thnk  was there from the beginning of the (current) fight

but wolves and bandits and such kept joining in. it would have been much easier without the interference but im glad we won.

now i feel less scared about exploring.

right now i cant find many side quests to do that i can complete. maybe i should talk to the wyrm hunters.Halibel2015 (talk) 22:02, February 15, 2016 (UTC)

when you start a new game plus do you get to create or edit a new arisen or do you keep the same one?Halibel2015 (talk) 00:05, February 16, 2016 (UTC)

yay that sounds nice :)

does thati nclude name and gender etc?Halibel2015 (talk) 02:43, February 16, 2016 (UTC)

ok sounds awsome selene hasnt respawned yet but i dont thnk enough time has passed yet i need to check on adaro tooHalibel2015 (talk) 03:30, February 16, 2016 (UTC)

when i visited the dragonforged (thats the arisen at hillfigure knoll isnt it? ) i didnt see the idol anywhere

in fact i thoguht i had one from selens house but i dont know what happned im sure i didtn sell it

but i cant find it in my inventroy or at the inn unless inns have seperate storage?

also i missed the gold one so that just leaves the silver for me to useHalibel2015 (talk) 04:43, February 16, 2016 (UTC)

ok well one of the wiki pages said that (or sounded like) the idol could either be found there at the cave or at selene's house

yeah i did the quest but didnt know the idol was a reward but i got the egg so not too badHalibel2015 (talk) 07:27, February 16, 2016 (UTC)

lol that works :)

i just didnt realize that i would get it from symone shes so bratty :p

but i have been mostly playing to explore on my own only checking in when im not sure if something is important or not,

partly because its easy and fun this way and partly because with mass effect i used the wiki too much

but i will cross refeence the wiki more when i take on new questsHalibel2015 (talk) 08:15, February 16, 2016 (UTC)

i know we discussed vocations before (and ill go back and reread those)

but i wanted your thoughts on playing (this is for next time not the current play through)

the arisen as a sorceror or mage and

2 i wanted to know what you thnk is better between mystic archer vs strider arisen.

strengths weakness and such mean while ill also reread our older discussion as wellHalibel2015 (talk) 00:43, February 17, 2016 (UTC)

so basicly my arisen should switch over to assassin now?

then sorceror then strider once i cap?

right now my pawn and arisen are level 31 or thereabouts

i know i need to switch soon im just having so much fun busting heads with that spin attack as a fighterHalibel2015 (talk) 01:16, February 17, 2016 (UTC)

when do the first enemies  show up that can only be beaten by magic?Halibel2015 (talk) 01:22, February 17, 2016 (UTC)

ok thanks  ill be sure to level up as best i can before bbi

i always used to grind to the max in games like final fantasy 8 but at least here i dont thnk ill be trapped in a certain area

(i hope) and not be able to go back, some games like ff8 and mass effect hve a cut off point where

you cant free roam anymore (or in the case of ff8 i wa unpreperared and trapped with low level enemies that i couldnt grind to level on they were giving like 1 to 0 xp per fight)

will my health stay the same(for example) or will it change if i switch vocations?

im just trying to understand how it works

also if i switch to fighter from what ever would my skills equip back as i had them or would i have to redo them everytime?Halibel2015 (talk) 01:44, February 17, 2016 (UTC)

ok thanks :) ill play around and see what happensHalibel2015 (talk) 04:37, February 17, 2016 (UTC)

what do you thnk of warrior arisens? i know you said they arent good pawns

i have had so so luck with warriors pawns but i dont thnk ill always have them

right now i have 2 striders for back upHalibel2015 (talk) 05:19, February 17, 2016 (UTC)

is there more than one dragon or did i just come across grigori again?

i was on my way to a fort to help with some goblins and i ran into a dragon bastard chased me and terrorized me for the longest

while goblins swarmed all over us i fianlly got away by leaving one of mny idiot pawns behind

so far strider pawns just get there ass handed to them by anything bigger than a  cyclops or chimera and hardly hold up against normal foes

im trying to keep the mup to date but it hardly seems to matterHalibel2015 (talk) 09:47, February 17, 2016 (UTC)

i dont get it

i have been refilling my lantern fine untill now

i have 16 flasks of oil and it keeps telling me "i could make fuel if i had the materials"

and of al lthe times it had to be in the middle of the nighy tight in front of that damn dragon :p

i grabed my mage threw her over my shoulder and ran for it Halibel2015 (talk) 11:49, February 17, 2016 (UTC)

the pawns do yammer on (quinn keeps marveling a t the capital even though shes been  there probly 10 times by now)

but i thnk i had a weird glitch my pawn wasnt telling me i didnt have the  materials,

the game kept refusing to light the lantern and telling me that

later when i was near to grand soren i was able to light it just fine so i have no ideaHalibel2015 (talk) 22:22, February 17, 2016 (UTC)

the reason i picked her up was because despite my repeatedly telling her to come on

she kept running back to fight the dragon and the 80 goblins with him.

my other pawns had died (the dragon got one the first trip through and the other was lost fighting a cyclops in the fort (he knocked her o ff the ledge and i wanted to hurry up and kill the cyclops  rather than work my way back down such a steep climb) and i just wanted to get out of there and i didnt want her to die even though i knew i could get her back at a rift stoneHalibel2015 (talk) 22:27, February 17, 2016 (UTC)

i once spent an entire day with pipa to learn how daily routine because

one day i came home to gran soren and she was nowhere to be found

so i wandered the noble quarter all night watching for her ( like a stalker :p )

i see she apparently lives in the castle as she comes out around noon and goes back inside just after it gets dark.

she goes into the curch in the mornings and the rest of th day she seems to wander the courtyard periodcly going to the window

in the passage to look out (where i met her) i get a chime now and she looks like she blushes slightly

but i dont see a halo yet.

i just strted getting a chime with madeline too (trying to plan out an alternate)

hopefully they wont go all jerry springer if they find out :pHalibel2015 (talk) 23:11, February 17, 2016 (UTC)

ok thanks that clears up some fog i knew some of that but not all

i belive shes set to challenger i had her as a guardian whil i was weak but as we have improved i have been letting her

just do her own thing while we are fighting the weak ones however now that drakes are coming into play

(at least i assume so im pretty sure it isnt grigori according to the wiki) it may be time to change up

start learning my ranged/magic vocations  and grinding more. we could barely  scratch that thing

im afraid to try anymore wyrm hunt quests

(i did the tablet one with the dragon forged and the goblin fort)

maybe i should go check on selene and see ifi can get that other task yet or do other side questsHalibel2015 (talk) 23:48, February 17, 2016 (UTC)

ok thanks will check them out :)

you know this game is actually givig me some wish fulfillmenti had for ocarina of time

i dont know if you ever played it but as a child in that game skeletons wandered the countryside at night making it creepy

but then in the future after ganon conquered the land there w as nothing aside from the occasional ghost

i had always expected a scary desolate wasteland fill with monsters but hardly anything,

but a night in the wilted forest is making all that cometrue :D (or a night anywhere for that matter)Halibel2015 (talk) 01:11, February 18, 2016 (UTC)

i havent found the catacombs yet but they sound fun :D

i went to pick flowers for pipa and got sidetracked by some guy wanting a path cleared throguh the mines

but he still wont go in because there are still monsters so im headed back to finish up those ogres in there

strangely the ogres arent as basd as they sound in fact if i leave them alone they hardly bother me

but duty calls :p Halibel2015 (talk) 02:41, February 18, 2016 (UTC)

this probly falls under "stupid questions" but with a bow do i have to manage arrows and keep them in stock?

i ask this because on some games you do (champions return to arms. champions of norrath) and some you dont

(some lord of the rings games)Halibel2015 (talk) 03:48, February 18, 2016 (UTC)

ok thanks good to know :)

im starting a trial run as an assassin with my pawn as a sorceror

though i just hired anther mage to keep evryone alive as it was getting dicey at times just handling those ogres in the mines

looks like the catacombs are coming up,,Halibel2015 (talk) 06:13, February 18, 2016 (UTC)

do i need to be carrying these things?

ancient slate (dragonforged has already looked at it)

war bugles (quest still going)

seeker tokens (still open quest)Halibel2015 (talk) 06:50, February 18, 2016 (UTC)

just how many gifts does it take to raise affinity?

i just gave pipa 9 loneflowers

(in adtion to at least one gift of somekind a day thoguh i usually have junk like knives or or ore or scrolls)

and she still isnt maxed.

thoguh i didnt see her for about 3 days during the goblin fort incident surely it cant have dropped that fast.

(then again one day seems to be enough to lose the chime)

shes blushing and chiming but thats about it plus i did her escort quest a while back

thoguh i still visit madeliene tooHalibel2015 (talk) 07:47, February 18, 2016 (UTC)

ok thanks ive been dropping all that i can thoguh i sometiems bring materials that can heal.

ill drop those things at the inn then

i have attunement but ihavent seen the others (though my text is blurry im not using hd as i dont have an hd tv)

ill try to make sure i find those ive been giving her things that boost her spend or make her magic last longer or such buffs like thatHalibel2015 (talk) 07:51, February 18, 2016 (UTC)

one of the weirdest oddities i have  is a wakestone shard that is a forgery.

i didnt make it i dont know where it came from, can it be used with regular shards?Halibel2015 (talk) 13:24, February 18, 2016 (UTC)

good morning jon

should i sell the fake then?

also i forged the papers from fournival before i turned them in so i could do a quest later the  wiki mentionedHalibel2015 (talk) 19:51, February 18, 2016 (UTC)

do all forgeries take the same amount of time?

he took an entire day with those court documentsHalibel2015 (talk) 02:30, February 19, 2016 (UTC)

i just looked at the wiki page but  wanted your opinions

should i give the journal entrys to reynard or not?

i dont have them all yetHalibel2015 (talk) 06:13, February 19, 2016 (UTC)

whoops :p

as soon as i heard "get him" (and its instinctive by now) i just swung at the first guy i saw but it was a gran soren soldier :p

we were outside the city but i hope i dont go to jail againHalibel2015 (talk) 07:49, February 19, 2016 (UTC)

Hey Jon,

I've left a comment meant for you in the Hard Mode page, although not as a response to the previous comments. You might want to check it out ;) PC version allows everything you can do on the consoles, so you can give yourself a new objective in creating a full party on the PC side.

BTW - thank you for the numerous very interesting videos you keep posting, amazing how they seem to get so few views. I've been linking to some of your vids on gfaqs.

Rolgb0rgil (talk) 10:39, February 19, 2016 (UTC)

LOL ok

i dont want to be a mass murderer (what would pipa think?! (madeline probly woundt care :p ))

so ill just try to behave myself thoguh good to know i wont get arrested unless im in the city

catacobs were intersting cult leader looked like the emperor from star wars :p

i wonder if ill see him again?Halibel2015 (talk) 22:36, February 19, 2016 (UTC)

im not going to try and kill anyone important i dont think montalbank ever leaves the store so i dont thik i could kill him

(unless i shot him with an arrow maybe?)

is there a better bow out there boefore bbi?

imusing a direwolf bow enchaced to level 3 (i thnk its 3 a lot of my rquipment i buy i enchance if i can)

i used to buy and/or enchnce stuff for hired pawns but i dont anymore it seems like a wasteHalibel2015 (talk) 04:18, February 20, 2016 (UTC)

do you ever run into pawns with "troll personalitys"?

i hired this pawn that had the setting to ignore battle and grab all the items

while talking about how useful he is :p

i fired him after only a few hours of travel :p Halibel2015 (talk) 07:59, February 20, 2016 (UTC)

oh ok i  thought mason had another cult member ok yeah if that was him hes dead :)

i meant it felt like a waste if i was just going to release that pawn later anyway

ill defintly upgrade gear for truly good pawns

part of why i hated to relase pawns like towe and casia was because they were fighting in such a cohesive way

with ,my arisen and main pawn but my current pawns are doing well so ill helpe them out a bit it will be a few levels before i have to realy replace them.

in fact towe and casia were like 14 and 21 or so when i got to my mid 20s before i released them.

the new pawns are closer to my own level now Halibel2015 (talk) 09:06, February 20, 2016 (UTC)

i forgot to kill all the skeltons for the quest while i was in the catacombs

now there no skeletons are there

did i mess up on that or do i have to go in there at night?Halibel2015 (talk) 11:22, February 20, 2016 (UTC)

good morning jon

yeah i know i can only mess with my own pawns personality but  as just wondering if you ever ran into weird ones like i mentioned.

i know im giving them gifts and im ok with it so again thats why i hardly do it

im playing offline but sometimes they look like they were made buy others its hard to tell though.

ok good news then on the skeleton quest but it says region catacombs thats why i wasnt sureHalibel2015 (talk) 22:50, February 20, 2016 (UTC)

often what i do is if i buy a piece of armor and  try to ehance it (if i want to try to make a weaker armor as strong or better than i what i have)

if it isnt as good or i cant use it for what ver reason THEN ill gift it to a pawn.

i like the system in place that doesnt let you steal equipment from pawns its a more fair way of doing things

ive heard so many storys about people literlly murdering people over stolen online game items and so on

its just scary,Halibel2015 (talk) 23:27, February 20, 2016 (UTC)

if you start a new game plus does your same beloved stay in your house?

(i might have asked that before) also if you accidently kill them or otherwise lower their affinity will they leave you?Halibel2015 (talk) 01:15, February 21, 2016 (UTC)

oh man i thoguht adaro wanted a hike! this is a true cross country trek with quina

i literally have to go all the way to the extreme north (prayerfalls)

from casardis :oHalibel2015 (talk) 02:16, February 21, 2016 (UTC)

sigh

damn it all i was RIGHT THERE then some stupid chiemra shows up :(

i tried to carry her off to safety while the others fought it but it just ignored the pawns and kept hounding me :(Halibel2015 (talk) 02:50, February 21, 2016 (UTC)

ok thanks

yeah sorry. i know i go on and on with questions and what not maybe i will put a port crystal down to avoid this sort of thing

assuming quina resapawns after her mauling wll she ask me again to escort her back there?Halibel2015 (talk) 02:57, February 21, 2016 (UTC)

what was that? O_O

been a while since i met a new monster

big stone golem thing with glowing purple spots

i managed to figure out finally  that hitting those hurt it

otherwise nothing seemed to harm it and hitting it with my sword put me to sleepHalibel2015 (talk) 03:28, February 21, 2016 (UTC)

well this was interesting

normally i dont do this but as i approached the thieves hideout(i really didnt thnk of that )

the guard gave me some attitude so i just grabbed him and threw him off the bridge :p

oops that angerd the thieves yet i left for less than a minute and they forgot and let me in :pHalibel2015 (talk) 06:25, February 21, 2016 (UTC)

ok i always make sure to click the message button

1 ok

2 ok ill make sure i remeber that and next time ill use portcrystals when i go back that way

for some reason they were at the inn waaaaaay back in gran soren (i was sure i had them with me :/ )

3 i manged to figure out and kill the golem

and thanks ill be sure to let you know when i meet these new monsters

i went into the blue moon tower a little but didnt go far before i decided to head backHalibel2015 (talk) 06:31, February 21, 2016 (UTC)

i got arrested again i dont have a reason this time

aftr i met the duke (it was late) iwas roaming around the castle (which they told me was fine)

when i  was just randomly arrested for no reason

glad im packing those skeleton keys around :p Halibel2015 (talk) 00:21, February 22, 2016 (UTC)

oh ok :/Halibel2015 (talk) 00:43, February 22, 2016 (UTC)

does getting locked up in jail affect your romances any?Halibel2015 (talk) 00:47, February 22, 2016 (UTC)

ok witch hunt just popped up im in the middle of investigating fournival

which should i be doing?

i know i only have 4 days for the trial and it would take about that much to go to witch wood and back

will selene be ok untill i get there?Halibel2015 (talk) 00:51, February 22, 2016 (UTC)

ok thanks:)

yeah i read that if hes executed symone will live in the slums (thoguh that is tempting just to teach her not to be so spoiled and bratty)

and while i hate flasifying evidence i can buy those papers if i need to,

my pawns said i could talk to someone to testify for him

what about the negative things (so far i have his papers from earlier and condemnations from his evictees)

against symone and gerffery for him being freed

can i just throw out the bad things from the family and turn in the good evidence?Halibel2015 (talk) 02:06, February 22, 2016 (UTC)

so a griffin attacks as im leaving gran soren to talk to the guy at windbluff tower about fournival

the entire fight they keep talking about the trial and fournival then after we kill it

a GOBLIN gets his attention. pawns can be such weirdos :pHalibel2015 (talk) 02:27, February 22, 2016 (UTC)

not guilty fournival is free.

if i wear salvation robes and take my badge will the people in the catacombsnot bother me?

(some business to do with skeletons im not sure yet maximillin asked me tp investigate as a personal request)Halibel2015 (talk) 05:26, February 22, 2016 (UTC)

ok thanks

do i need both keys in the catacombs?

i only got one i didnt snak up on the meeting and took it by force

i cant find much doqn here right now but i have to suspend my search for now untill sone weather clears up here ;/Halibel2015 (talk) 09:45, February 22, 2016 (UTC)

im having some issues leaving messages not sure why.

i hope im not spamming the same messgae

i was in the wrong catacombs but i got it done

maybe next time i can get the keys and forge themHalibel2015 (talk) 03:20, February 23, 2016 (UTC)

ok good to know.

for some reason when i clicked publish edit it would just go back to the message i was writing.

i wasnt sure if it was sending or not. glad it wasnt spamming.Halibel2015 (talk) 04:17, February 23, 2016 (UTC)

madieline wants to go to loodwater beach should i just go there and set a port crystal so she makes it there in one piece?Halibel2015 (talk) 04:31, February 23, 2016 (UTC)

yeah i did figue out that they are all connected i left the catacomb i was in and entered throguh the other entrance to get past the locked door

after that i was able to get thorugh

i accidently hit tagert though i stopped when he started talking to me but he ran for it once he was through

sometimes i get so into the swing of combat that when random people pop in i dont realize itHalibel2015 (talk) 04:34, February 23, 2016 (UTC)

do i need t obe carrying around this unsigned letter (quest still open)

or this martyrs talisman?

i put away the garderners permit since i let the prisoner free and it said quest completeHalibel2015 (talk) 05:59, February 23, 2016 (UTC)

ok thanks

i was in the catacombs whaling away on the undead when he ran up to me in the middle of battle and started talking.

then when i realized what was going on,

i stopped hitting him and he ran off as soon as he was done talking (not sure if that was what he usually does or not)Halibel2015 (talk) 14:17, February 23, 2016 (UTC)

lol ok thankfully he just ran off and didnt die

i have a experiment to try when i get to new game plus

again one of my pawns (as does the wiki) said that i could find an idol in selenes house OR the dragon forged  cave

i thnk possibly (since it ist there that i can find) you can get it there if you dont pick it up at selenes house

ill have to confirm this when i get to ng+ Halibel2015 (talk) 16:20, February 23, 2016 (UTC)

ok i searched the cave but didnt see it unless a pawn grabbed it

maybe i should go look for it

i gave the one from selenes house to madeline i plan to get the silver one for caxtonHalibel2015 (talk) 23:01, February 23, 2016 (UTC)

ok good to know thanks. :)

i have the other bronze idol now but its in storage.

is there any real payoff to these seekers and war bugles?

this is so tedious i may skip it in later playthroughs

plus it clogs up inventoryi can sotre the mbut its easier t okeep  track when i have them

im almost done with the seeker tokens at least i thnk i need 4 more.

im on a quest to kill the griffin but it keeps running away and not wanting to fightHalibel2015 (talk) 22:26, February 24, 2016 (UTC)

some questions

in history it says 3 people with affinity for you

will that go down if people lose affinity or is it just keeping track of all total

2 does the cursed carving have any negative afffects on anyone i gift it to?Halibel2015 (talk) 22:49, February 24, 2016 (UTC)

good afternoon ill be sure to check out those videos :)Halibel2015 (talk) 22:50, February 24, 2016 (UTC)

ok i hope i havent used or given or sold any maybe i better duplicate the one i have just in case

also what if selenes affinity (or your beloved) gets too low will they leave your house?

is it hard to obtain an arisens bond?Halibel2015 (talk) 01:10, February 25, 2016 (UTC)

also does assassin raise my magick any or is tha twhy ill need to be a sorceror too?

ive noticed daggers that raise magick (att or def im not sure) but they aernt as strong as my sword so i havent used them yetHalibel2015 (talk) 01:17, February 25, 2016 (UTC)

thanks again for enduring my bombardment of questions :)

i mostly only gift things i find everywhere(like skulls, ancient scrolls,cloudwine, and foregn knives)

i do go out of my way to pick lone flowers for pippa when im in that area since that is her preferred item

i havent seen anything that madeline prefers yet (ill check her page)

i mostly give her cloudwine, various comon flowers, foregn knives, ancient scrolls( which i can often get right back from her backroom lol)

and such items. Halibel2015 (talk) 01:52, February 25, 2016 (UTC)

i agree it isnt that imporant but i always visit girls i like on these sort of games ;)

i just found a 2nd carving on a rock in the woods.

i could duplicate one if i dont find the third

i could have sworn i had the headless icon already but i need to look in storagei guess Halibel2015 (talk) 05:37, February 25, 2016 (UTC)

thoguh granted it isnt like mass effect i figure at least once ill do a romance but not often

im always having to go back and see her before she forgets about me lol :pHalibel2015 (talk) 05:46, February 25, 2016 (UTC)

omg i bagged my first drake :o that took forever :o Halibel2015 (talk) 08:42, February 25, 2016 (UTC)

is this dragon going to respawn next time i pass throguh there?

for some  reason my boots and sword dont have  3  stars  anymore  but a  red symbol instaed

also  i love how your arisen just walks  toward the camera like  a boss :D

all she needs now   is sunglasses and  an explosion behind her  :D Halibel2015 (talk) 15:40, February 25, 2016 (UTC)

ok thanks :)

it w as my sword and boots that leveld up i forgot if i mentioned what it wasHalibel2015 (talk) 17:23, February 25, 2016 (UTC)

im rather proud of gloria shes becoming a bit of a magical wrecking ball lately.

she can slay a cyclops like nobodys  abusiness  and same  with chimeras.

but ogres  still take forever im not sure why but it feels like  we just beat on them for hours,

are there  any hooded cloaks (besides the  salvation robes) like the ones aragorn wears

in the first lord of the rings or like faramir wears in the  2nd one? Halibel2015 (talk) 21:55, February 25, 2016 (UTC)

ok i didnt realize it cant bea hurt at that time it does that a lotHalibel2015 (talk) 02:24, February 26, 2016 (UTC)

ok.

one thing i have learned over  my years of gaming is  to watch the  life bar

ill defintly pay closer attention to sounds though.

you mean like that "bah ger ger  ger" sound the chimera makes  in battle?Halibel2015 (talk) 08:12, February 26, 2016 (UTC)

last night i was filling in the map while i was roaming around and there are  so many goblins down south

i thought i had taken a wrong turn into mordorHalibel2015 (talk) 08:16, February 26, 2016 (UTC)

you keep everything in ng plus right?

i just thoghut of something

does that mean that you could accept the quest then just go to the inn

and get out the war bugles and/or seekers you have and just solve it right then?Halibel2015 (talk) 10:08, February 26, 2016 (UTC)

ok thanks sounds interesting. but does grigori spawn before im supposed to face him?

i certainly dont want to be bushwacked by him! :o

the drake was scary enough.

i never realized that there was a diference between what you get from the enemies

that explains why i have been grinding for days and hardly leveled

yet i leveled up 4 times(maybe 5)  the day i killed the dragon since i was hunting cyclops, ogres and chimeras that day.

i feel like my bow is getting stronger and more accurate lately as well i kill lpts pf harpys and bandits and goblins.

why do bandits sometimes yell "get em" then they dont come after me?Halibel2015 (talk) 17:07, February 26, 2016 (UTC)

i tried to set a port crystal near selenes house but the game wouldnt let me i ended up leaving the woods and setting it on the road nearbyHalibel2015 (talk) 17:17, February 26, 2016 (UTC)

do items spoil in storage?

im having trouble finding moonglow fast enough for an upgrade because they keep wiltingHalibel2015 (talk) 17:39, February 26, 2016 (UTC)

i visited the dragonforged earlier and got the arisens bond

i havent used it yet i might take it by the black cat and make a copy laterHalibel2015 (talk) 20:15, February 26, 2016 (UTC)

i was asking about grigri because im supposed to loook for a letter near the great wall (i dont even know where that is)

but i dont wanna get amushedHalibel2015 (talk) 20:39, February 26, 2016 (UTC)

thanks and lol i can ask questons forever if i get started :p :D

good to know. i noticed that stuff didnt seem to be spoiling in storage but i wasnt sure why it sometimes spoiled and sometimes didnt

ok glad grigori waits then unlike the drake.

yep i know exp well i have spent many hours replaying final fantasy 8 (and oter games but esp that one) over and over and over

im  thnking of scouting out bloodwater beach and puting a port crystal there that way mabye i can escprt madeline safely there

i guessed i didnt see the witch videos ill have to check those out,

can you just keep making forgeries of some items as many as you w ant?

i have another fake wakestone shard i dont know who keeps making them and leaving them fo me to find

i only have one wake stone (would be 2 if i handt had t osave that guys son but i havent eally needed them i guess

i only have 11 deaths :p thats actully not as bad as i thought (unless it gets wose laterHalibel2015 (talk) 02:56, February 27, 2016 (UTC)

i suppose i need to make my choice between madeline and pipa soon  i suppose i cant have 2 beloveds(i should go read the wiki)

plus i need to see about selene

i havent talked to her but once since she moved in hoping her mad love has worn off.

i didnt even do anything but complete a quest for her  BUT i DID see the wiki says some quests raise your affinity to max right away

maybe when i escorrt madeline it will do the same

strangely the game histroy says i have 3 girls with max affinity for me yet only selene has a visible halo thoguh madeline and pipa are blushing when i talk to them (and chiming i notice that goes away in about 3 days of not talking)

but as you said it isnt important to the game itself.

its just me addiing drama and romance into it :p Halibel2015 (talk) 03:08, February 27, 2016 (UTC)

i havent seen quina lately is she coming back?

(shes getting ready to go to some curch on the mainland)Halibel2015 (talk) 04:10, February 27, 2016 (UTC)

by the way, we were talking about enemy sounds

a while back i heard something i didnt identify

i thnk it was the drake

i was on my way back through that area one game night after the fort incident

i heard a loud snuffling/breathing sound as i was sneaking past the waters edge a tthe lake in that area

i thnk i did run into the drake again later but im not sure if that was him i heard or something else.

i dont think my pawn mentioned hearing itHalibel2015 (talk) 04:17, February 27, 2016 (UTC)

(sound of the arisen bouncing down the cliff and cracking a few ribs) in the words of frodo:

"i think we found the bottom"

im not sure how i will even get back (ferry stone i guess) but im for sure leaving a port crystal here.

i dont know how anybody would get madeline down here normally with out killing her, but im at blood water beach fianlly

Halibel2015 (talk) 06:23, February 27, 2016 (UTC)

ok this was epic !

i fight a griffon it tried to fly away and i jumped on its back

and went all gandalf on its wings untill it fell :DHalibel2015 (talk) 07:02, February 27, 2016 (UTC)

good morning jon

thanks good stuff to know :)

amusingly i  first ran across quina at the abbey right after she "died" on the escort mission i wasnt sure id she would always be there though

i know some characters are going to disappear after a time

according to the wiki, after certain quests are finished like mercedes for example.

for some reason when i fight cyclops and ogres with a bow it makes me think of the cave troll in lord of the rings :) Halibel2015 (talk) 15:56, February 27, 2016 (UTC)

yep that makes sense

though i actually meant the scene in the movie with the cave troll (my bad for not being clearer)

i figured most all fantasy was pretty much lifted from tolkien thoughHalibel2015 (talk) 20:39, February 27, 2016 (UTC)

could i level up my magic as a mystic knight or would it be better as a sorceror (as prep for a strider build)Halibel2015 (talk) 13:38, February 28, 2016 (UTC)

do i still need to salvation badge? my pawns keep talking about the " knights champion" im not sue if its related or not

are there any more hydras? i noticed you need some hydra materials for upgradesHalibel2015 (talk) 15:19, February 28, 2016 (UTC)

ok thanks jon :)

i dont think i had the material mentioned but that was way early in game anyway.

i can always get it in ngp if i have to.

and AH HA! i KNEW it ! i knew julien was way to creepy be a normal guy :p

plus he was flirting with madeline so that alone grants him an

"ill kill you the second your not near the duke so i dont get thrown in yet jail again" standing with me  :pHalibel2015 (talk) 15:55, February 28, 2016 (UTC)

whts the difference between strider and assassin?

i know you use differnt weapons such as daggers instead of swords obviously there are differnt skills but what makes it better?

(i still plan to upgrade to strider thoguh) Halibel2015 (talk) 20:02, February 28, 2016 (UTC)

i like bows but not a fan of the first person view point you decribed so id rather be a strider

i like the assassin since i still have my sword but im ok with learning daggers if i must

also

crap that was close. i saw olra and decide to talk to her next thing i know im abducted (to put it mildly)

and being taken to bbi

several expletives and mild panic attacks later  i talked to her and she took me back to cassardis

whew :p Halibel2015 (talk) 00:39, February 29, 2016 (UTC)

as always you have valid points :)

regarding my style i like being able to get in and melee but also have the ranged option with my bow

if i could just do that with magick it would fit all my needs.

on a side note i bought that thing that lets me edit my characters once

manage to fix the few cosmetic issues that bugged me about my arisen,

i left my pawn as she is nothing was really bugging me about her.Halibel2015 (talk) 00:43, February 29, 2016 (UTC)

brain splitter sounds like fun :D

2 no worries im safe on the main land and plan to level WAY up before i go back there

3 i remember your advice about the scroll i just had to fix that derpy face :p

and what haoppens if you go to the sland the nkill olra? (im not gonna try it :p )

also can you buy stuff from her?Halibel2015 (talk) 09:15, February 29, 2016 (UTC)

im finally free of those accursed seeker tokens now i fi could get rid of those war bugles...

i agree with hiding sorceror dosent even look fun (except for the spells)

every 5 mins i see my pawn sailing through  the air with  bigger monsters like drakes or ogres.

im trying to decide on when to swap vocations

i dont recall what level i was when i switched from fighter to assassin (maybe you do)

i know it was aroud 37 to 45.

im level 54 right now. i thnk  bit more grinding is needed as assassin first maybeHalibel2015 (talk) 14:54, February 29, 2016 (UTC)

great advice as always :) youre my yoda....or obiwan or any other mentor from any movie if you like :)

one thing i do want to know is id like to raise my pawns def and health a bit

so she can take a litttle more a buse than what she does getting batted around by ogres and drakes the way she does.

should she squeeze in some fighter/warrrior training ? (shes primarily going to be a mage/ sorceror)

pawns cant be mystic knights or archers can they?Halibel2015 (talk) 00:31, March 1, 2016 (UTC)

quina turns up in some weird places

i went into the catacombs looking for the headless icon i swore i already had and there she was.

she didnt stay long though had to kill some cloudy purple thing (i dont know what to call it)

and then she left.

i half expected mason to be lurking around there too, hes a little creepy :pHalibel2015 (talk) 00:36, March 1, 2016 (UTC)

thanks i try to be appreciative of people when they are friendly and helpful.

its rare to find someone online that isnt a troll or will bother to be friendly or helpful.

1 i didnt thnk the pawns could but i wasnt sure

ok i will keep an eye out for that staff

i was kind of thinking that after shes done training my sorceror will go back to being a mage so i always have a healer around

ok id rather quina stay out of the way and be safe.

now she seems to have the halo too. they all keep falling in love with me even symone keeps chiming now

i dont even gift them.yet

i pile gifts on madeline and pippa and hardly get a response (thoguh now they seem to like it)Halibel2015 (talk) 11:01, March 1, 2016 (UTC)

ok im reading the arousing suspicion page i wonder if i missed aelinore somehow

i have never seen aelinore or mirabelle anywhere ever an i was there

at night the first day i met the duke since he told me i was free to go about the castle i was roaming about (thats why i wa arrested leaving the castle anyway) and never once saw eithe of them.Halibel2015 (talk) 12:49, March 1, 2016 (UTC)

ok i may explore the castle some more to be sure also theres a room the guards seem intent on keeping me out of...

also what i meant to say  was i want to level up my sorceror all the way and THEN go back to mageHalibel2015 (talk) 16:43, March 1, 2016 (UTC)

looks like i missed valmiro too :(

it says i have to do dying of curioisty which i also had to do before come to court :/

computer just wigged out while posting so not sure if im resending or notHalibel2015 (talk) 17:23, March 1, 2016 (UTC)

ok sounds awesome  :)Halibel2015 (talk) 17:44, March 1, 2016 (UTC)

thats good im sure ill trim down in replays as well once im rid of those blasted war bugles i cant see myself wanting to do that again

unless thers a heck of a pay off :pHalibel2015 (talk) 19:52, March 1, 2016 (UTC)

another question

a while back i was in the pawn g uild and found a 2nd board with a bunch of weird quests about experience

i didnt take them because i was bogged down with a ton of quests alreadyi went back a

few days later now they arent on the board unless there are 2 and i didnt check the right oneHalibel2015 (talk) 20:18, March 1, 2016 (UTC)

ok thnks :)

maybe ill check them out ..or notHalibel2015 (talk) 13:29, March 2, 2016 (UTC)

good morning jon :)

(you can call me brian if you want. i tred to edit my name but the wiki keeps talking about errors)

i do need to swing by the grove again and see if theres another drake there. i havent been through there in a while.

boy that griffon hunt was epic though i had to chase it to blue moon  tower i killed it and got to upgrade my bow al lthe way fianllyHalibel2015 (talk) 21:30, March 2, 2016 (UTC)

ill have to look to be sure but i belive its the fluted bow.

i needed some griffon pinons for level 3 enhancement  i just have trouble catching them long enough to kill them

i just bought a new sword from caxton and was on my way to see if madeline had new stuff when i left off

(ill miss my gold sword though i killed my first drake with it. but its safe in storage at least)Halibel2015 (talk) 00:54, March 3, 2016 (UTC)

im playing on playstation 3 so im not sure about pc stuff

im using an undulant sword enhanced to lv 3

Halibel2015 (talk) 14:57, March 3, 2016 (UTC)

i see the legions might is in the store i was going to buy it but i cant really afford it.

i could buy it but it would seriously deplete my fortune right now.

nobody can equip it right now anyway i was going to put it away  though and keep it in storage

thoguh i see a mystic knight can quip it as well i wonder if that would make my arisen immortal too?Halibel2015 (talk) 15:26, March 3, 2016 (UTC)

lol theres a mystrious floating bag outside madelines shopHalibel2015 (talk) 15:29, March 3, 2016 (UTC)

ill keep an eye out for the gold one :)

i just buy whatever the first thing is that i come across thats better than what i have. i find myself doing tha ta lot in games

though this game is getting easier letting me choose what armors and weapons i want

even if they arent as good (as long as im careful about that)

the undulant has a very unique and interesting look to it :)Halibel2015 (talk) 15:38, March 3, 2016 (UTC)

the metal golem doesnt count as part of the kill 3 golems quest?

well thats dumb Halibel2015 (talk) 16:19, March 3, 2016 (UTC)

is there  way to get wiling cystals before post game?Halibel2015 (talk) 16:43, March 3, 2016 (UTC)

i was poking around witchwood looking for the golem there to do mettle agaisnt metal

i hit it and it woke up :o but when i killed it it didnt count for the kill 3 golems quest

i belive pride before a fall is next i have the opttion to "assist ser mercedes" from aldous

but i havent accpeted the quest yet im trying to wrap up side quests first

ive been meaning to go look at the everfall again but havent gone back since the time i had t o go in for th pawn guild quest

Halibel2015 (talk) 16:50, March 3, 2016 (UTC)

ok thanks i guess my weaon upgrade can just wait untill i get later in game to get those crystals

if i can find some wights i can get to level two with a black crystal.

yeah i did the wyrmkings ring already so mercedes is the only one left right now storywise.

good job on the quest walkthroughs :)

how will bad business affect me trying to romance madeline it sounds like she wont be around much or sell things anymore

afterward :( should i buy up anything i want from her now before this happens?Halibel2015 (talk) 17:16, March 3, 2016 (UTC)

ok thanks i havent done the task yet shes still safe in her shop for now

though with all her gold digging im not sure i should keep seeing her and  keep it professional :p

im not going to push much romance in the future i dont thnk althogh im curious.

if i missed eleinor is she dead?

if so who will the dragon take? (my beloved probly)Halibel2015 (talk) 18:26, March 3, 2016 (UTC)

ye gods ! that does sound funny :p

so far i have at least 3 maxed girls although quina has a halo too

it hasnt been said yet in the history page that i have 4.

i already had madeline pippa and selene(by accident) before quina decided to join in.

i suppose the best thing about these accidental lesbian romances is

they let me have my cake and eat  it too (romance a girl and still play one)

im just a bit weird anyway :p

can i still go in the blighted manse? i have seen the gates but never gotten to go in (even through the back)

Halibel2015 (talk) 23:23, March 3, 2016 (UTC)

theres always new game plus :p

and yes the internet is a weird place esp youtube.

just search "tara the android i feel fantastic" it will take you to a weird, weeeeeird video :p

but i digress. back to dark arisen...

yeah fournival would be a weird love interest or symone for that matter.

and i heard a chime the last time i talked to her. and i hardly ever do talk to symone thoguh she seems less unpleasent now.Halibel2015 (talk) 00:17, March 4, 2016 (UTC)

well theres a russian music video called "our icons" that looks like the salvation cult leader doing heavy metal :p

but yeah theres lots of crazy weird stuff on the net.

theres actully some videos called "creepiest unexplained videos on youtube"

(where i found both of those) the internet is a very weird place :p

my sister and i like watching videos like that and lots of scary stories and such.

anyway im rambling again.

turns out i havent done wyrmkings ring yet i thoght i did.

its in progress so im still investigating it.

when does caxton restock his store? (and the others like madeline)

im trying to keep my equpiment up to date as possible.Halibel2015 (talk) 15:03, March 4, 2016 (UTC)

what are these ropes i keep finding every where?

i keep finding them strung up in the woods and aroundHalibel2015 (talk) 15:32, March 4, 2016 (UTC)

i forgot to mention a weird glitch in witch wood

i was trying to jump on a ledge by the path and everytime id land on the tree root

it would teleport me back to the spot i had  just jumped fromHalibel2015 (talk) 15:47, March 4, 2016 (UTC)
