Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do not worry about min/maxing your Arisen's and main pawn's attribute stats. It isn't a big deal. There is no way to screw up a build to the point where the character is not viable; this game is simply not written that way. And if you want a deeper, more math-reliant version about this very subject, you can look here. 

  • Here to get your pawn rented? https://www.pawnguild.xyz/ The Pawn Guild site serves several communities: here at reddit, Steam's pawn group, two Facebook discussion groups, and a Discord server called Dragon's Dogma Central. Once you register and your pawn(s) entered, this means more publicity for your pawn due to a wider audience!

  • The weekly Rent Topic is also pinned to the top of the sub just like this post; by past request, the Rent topic changes every Sunday for a fresh start for listed players.

  • You can get the Eternal Ferrystone from your storage at the Inn once you reach Gran Soren-- as long as you are playing the remastered PS4, XBOne, Switch or PC versions of the game. PS3 and XB360 versions require starting the game in vanilla DD and transferring the save to Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen to obtain the Eternal Ferrystone.

  • You can still buy the DLC equipment from the Black Cat.

  • No console online membership is required to access their respective player pawn database or any of the respective platforms' online Ur Dragon.

  • The Berserk items are not available in any of the re-release versions of the game. They are only available in PS3/360 copies of Dragon's Dogma and Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen.

  • The 360's server is permanently down, however, the PS3's server remains in operation. No announcements have been made to date regarding other server takedowns. Keep in mind that the 360's takedown was announced about six months in advance of its termination date.

  • In terms of damage output, there is no reason to level the magick stat for a character playing the purely physical vocations such as Warrior, Strider, Ranger, Fighter or Assassin; conversely, there is no reason to level the physical damage stat for a character intended to use the purely magickal vocations such as Mage or Sorcerer. A character's base magick is not part of the game's damage calculation when using a physical skill such as all Longbow and Shortbow skills, all non-Magick Archer dagger skills and all non-Mystic Knight sword skills. It is advantageous to have high strength and high magick only for the two hybrid vocations Mystic Knight and Magick Archer, because some of their skills either scale from the character's magick or strength stats plus the equipped weapon's stats.

  • Q: I didn’t know what I was doing and I failed Escort Duty.... am I screwed because I missed the Gold Idol?

  • A: No, it's not a big deal in Dark Arisen. After about two to three hours of steady gameplay, any weapon/armor that would have been added to either Caxton's or Madeleine's inventory is outstripped by what's made available by advancing the main quest. What you are missing out on is convenience at obtaining items for Fashion Dogma; everything in the expanded inventory is available later on via (patient!) chest farming.

  • Back in vanilla DD days, the Gold Idol was important because other than the Ur Dragon weapons, the Gold Idol weapons were stronger than anything else. That is no longer the case; the Gold Idol weapons are not even as strong as BBI L1 Weaponry, much less the weapons awarded via a later plot point.

  • Any item that has Rift Crystals spent on it in some form cannot be traded or gifted unless they're in their cursed form, and there is no guarantee that you'll get what you want as your purification results are tied to an internal list within your own game. The better place to ask for those items is in the pinned Rent topic; you'll have more visibility there.

ABOUT THE RECENT ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE TERMINATION OF THE PAWN COMMUNITY:

The Pawn Community was a website set up by Capcom for the sharing of screenshots taken in-game by the PS3 and 360 players of DD and DD:DA. This website was run by Capcom since 2012, and served as a 'newspaper' to publicize one's own pawn via screenshot sharing. It was never available for the use of any DD/DD:DA community other than the 360 or PS3, and when the 360's connection via Facebook broke for the second time five or so years ago, Capcom did not fix it.

Termination of the Pawn Community website will have NO EFFECT on the existing servers for the game itself.

Link Restrictions To Deter Bots

We have changed the sub's settings to only allow links to be posted to certain websites due to the ongoing constant issue of bots trying to sell crappy t-shirts and other merch. If you run into any issues posting links that you think should be allowed, please contact the moderators or post a query here and we'll review it.

You can find a lot of information on specific things like stat growth, skill unlocks, and inclinations on the wikia, but new players, be advised that spoilers lie there in great abundance.
