Talk:Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen/@comment-165.91.13.77-20140309190433

Note for new players: (apologies if someone else already mentioned this; I didn't want to read through 29 pages of comments just to check) eternal ferrystone, rift crystal  bonus, and new outfits are NOT available if you start with Dark Arisen right away. Those bonuses are ONLY if you paid for the original Dragon's Dogma and started your game there, then import that save into a Dark Arisen game to update it with the new content. Sort of like the developer's attempt to say "Hey, sorry you paid for our game twice. Here's some free in-game loot to make you feel better about it." However, these initial bonuses are the only thing you miss if you skip the original Dragon's Dogma and just start with the DD:DA installation. The only thing you will feel like you're missing out on is the eternal ferrystone, since now you have to buy single-use ferrystones. The outfits are nice but you're really not missing out on anything spectacular there, and rift crystals are only used to hire high-level pawns and to "rarefy" equipment beyond the dragon-forged level, so that is not worth crying over either.
