Man, I'm pretty sure I did all that... released him and rested, etc. etc. I'm gonna be p!ssed if I lost all that stuff I sent him. It was good stuff... stuff I figured I could just trade back and forth between my pawns. Oh well.

 

UPDATE: He finally got my stuff!! Glad I didn't lose all that loot

 

Sent Zi home with a level 2 armor ~ let us know if any of these produce a winged hat thingie and if not I'll send more Kel needs some serious RC so Rohan and co. are gonna take him through BBI for sh!ts and giggles. I can't even imagine how frequently he must die. You guys are troopers for picking him up

 

I think I'll take Kelly and Nicholas Should be a fun romp. Oh, and Thomas should check the Rift; someone stole his hat

[Shepenwepet]

I just got on last night long enough to swap Shinon back in. The Xbox had been on for 6 hours straight downloading and playing TWAU, so i wanted to give it a rest. I'll let you know about the Level 2 Armor, I'm sure Alynna has some too, but I haven't looked.

 

I'm hopefully going to be finished Episode 9 soon, I hit a roadblock for a while there but I found my way out of it. It always helps to do a little "on-location" photography.

 

I also am mostly finished transplanting the Report (and Jealousy and Groceries) to my wordpress site, although some pics are missing (mostly the ones behind links) and there's still some BBCode tags that slipped past. I'm still going to post everything here first, so you aren't missing anything.

[coldwetn0se]

No play time for me either right now (but that is due to work, and tired.....).

However, I have been saving up a bunch of level 2 armors to give out as gifts, and I already sent Zi home the other day with at least one (if not two - one from Ulee and one from Ari).

Tomorrow is my day off, so I will definitely play some.

@Shepen - nice to know that you set up a Wordpress site for you "funnies".

Wish I had some pics to show-off, but alas....

[Shepenwepet]

I got ya.

 

Spoiler

 

I sent Kelly home with a bunch of stuff and a godsbane, something I never really think to send, but nonetheless can be quite useful should you want to head into BBI before killing Grigs.

 

And the level 2 armors I had came out as delta guard and dragonwing gloves. Not surprising considering how many different things you can get with level 2s. I suppose I could just gift Zi a bunch of bloodred crystals to complete that quest and open up Barroch's inventory so I can buy a dragonwing circlet. Alynna has like 5 or 6.

[coldwetn0se]

@Stormheart - I have tomorrow off, I am planning on playing some DD.I'll get on the PS3 and take Sila around for a bit. See if I can rack up some rift crystals for her.

@Shepen - I will also play on the Xbox, and toss some more lvl.2 armor at Zi, in case you don't get a chance to gift yourself some bloodred crystals.

Love the snapshots! Everyone sporting the Thomas Hood look.

[CuriousArtemis]

 

 

 

 

Kyahh Surely I'm not the only one who thinks this shot is certifiably awesome! lol

 

And wow, guys -- wow!! Thanks for all the loot you dumped on Kelly's broad and manly shoulders! (SHUT UP I worked really hard to make him broad and manly! Never mind that I noticed Nicholas looks twice as solid as poor Kel tonight. Sigh. Oh NG+ CC, soon. Soon.) I actually had a hard time playing dress up deciding what Kael and Kel should wear! 

 

And oh, CARCHAROTH! You sneaky witch thief, you I can't ever remember the number after your GT so feel free to friend CuriousArtemis next time you're on!

[Kaidan Fan]

@coldwetn0se:  I love that picture of  Nicholas!   I agree with Curious that the shot of her new pawn (Kelly?) and Chase is fantasticly awesome!  Is Seel the one with the dark blue'ish hair? Because his armor is beyond cool.  I really am liking that look in that picture.

 

I haven't played much this week because I had so many things of differing natures going on I couldn't even tell if I was coming or going, but this weekend looks good for some DD time

[coldwetn0se]

@Kaidan Fan - I concur, that that is a pretty awesome shot of Nicholas. But alas, that last shot of him was not my doing, but the beautiful and poised @Shepenwepet.

If you are referring to the last shot in that post (Shepen's post, that is), then that would be her alternate pawn, Zihark. And it is very cool snapshot. Ya betcha!

I am Sooooo gonna get my game on today. But I admit, I may be trying to fit too many things in one day. It is sunny and bright, so I really want to take a bike ride. I also very much want to grill something on the BBQ, this evening. Of course, that means I need to make a trip to the store. Guess I should kill two birds with one stone: Strap on my Deuter Bag, take a ride, and pass by the store, on my way back home. THEN game, cook, eat, game some more. Sorry Rog, this day ain't about you. LOL! (my poor husband. )

[Kaidan Fan]

Wow, so I made about 100 goofs.  Apologies! I've been doing that a lot.  Replying to posts in a hurry and combining answers to other stuff I read some where else and everything.  I blame old age scatterbrain'ness!

 

So: I love the shot of Nicholas, Shepenwet and your pawn Zihark has some awesome armors and I'm so jealous of it!  Also, and I hope I'm remembering correctly this time, but I read someones wordpress yesterday (and I believe that too was Shepenwet) up to section 8 because it looked like it might tell stuff I didn't know about bbi yet.  But I absolutely loved it.  It was so fun to read!

 

@Aedan: If you are talking of the purple'ish looking shot of the pawn with dark hair in the mask, that is my baby Nicholas.  My gt is Tahirii.  I noticed he switched from medicant/utilitarian to utilitarian/medicant so I'll try to take care of that next time I'm on.

[Shepenwepet]

FINALLY.

Spoiler

I sent a bloodred crystal with Zi, and found out that that group already had 4 in storage. The quest WAS ALREADY COMPLETED. I'm sure I'd looked in Barroch's inventory, but I guess I hadn't. Well, my wallet's 740,000 gold lighter, but... dem wings.

 

If my computer doesn't self destruct, I should be beginning to wrap up Episode 9 tonight, then I'll do the screenies for it. And yeah, Episode 9 has massive BBI spoilers. Whether or not Shinon and crew believe said spoilers is another thing altogether.

 

And thanks for reading, Kaidan Fan! The entire thing is here, too, it's the first link in my sig.

Replayed the game....again and Griffins are my favorite enemy type (it would be dragons but I fought them so many times I kinda hate their theme) and Griffin's Bane has to be my favorite mission. The feeling when you're with those soldiers and the one guy wishes there were more of you then that epic journey to Bluemoon Tower and then the epic boss fight. 

 

I love the running segment where everybody is losing their mind trying to get away and that one guy gets picked up and killed and says "I hoped for a more heroic death...". Then you get to the fight and here Steffen comes out of no where with his Bumblebee robes casting Comestion and when you kill the Griffin you're rewarded with all that money and a portcrystal.

 

Also does anybody else remember going to the Shadow Fort and finding that Drake in the woods? After I fought it I became obsessed with the Dragon's Dogma wiki, if I type "d" the first result is Daimon's wiki page.

[Newschmoo]

Hello DD players I have a decent amount of cursed weapons & armor level 2-3 that I will happily gift out to players that hire my pawn Sila(P3 player). I am in dire need of rift crystals after a 5 hour farmathon lol. Poor Damien was slain many times. Friend me on the PSN if your interested my handle is DOAStormheart.

I took Sila out yesterday in the Everfall. I can't believe you are up to level 191 already! I am impressed! And thank you for the gear you gave Rhys. I need to start some farming in the Everfall. Hasn't given me much as so far.

@Jayjay I remember encountering that drake near the Shadow fort really early on when I first played DD. It turned Arya (one of @Curious' pawns) against my Arisen and she was tricky to get away from!

@Curious - your new pawn is v cute!

I worked on "the boring", last night. Yup....doing grunt work to max out Ari's last vocation, Mystic Knight. I don't hate playing MK, but it isn't quite as fun until you have at least gotten your Magic Canon. I tootled around Gransys (since I wasn't amped to use the Noble Quarters trick). I did get some shots, but nothing very spectacular...no Lycean or Comet Shot.

BTW, @Shepen, did you recently change Zi's "disposition"? He keeps talking about not wanting to fight any more, and "let's try and avoid any more monsters"....LOL! I haven't heard those lines from a pawn for some time.

Spoiler

Ari wearing the latest fashion: Spectre/Spook Hoods


"Come at me. I dare you."
(Yeah...like monsters are quaking in their boots at Castor's taunts.)

(btw, I switched Castor's scar, back to the original one he had. I can never leave well enough alone.)

The mighty Nicholas preparing to "skewer" some succubi.



A shadowy figure....nope. Wait. Just Zi.


Aaaaaand Chase.

Going to switch to Ulee for a bit, and gift a few things. Played dress up with Kelly last night; I swear I love dressing younglings.

@Stormheart - I am still planning on getting onto the PS3. Sorry haven't made the time yet.

[Shepenwepet]

 Indeed I did, but I have yet to hear him say anything different. Shinon's usually the one with the post-fight chatter, "There's NO way we could have lost to that."

 

Well, Kalethai and crew are off to Awakened Daimon for the first time. We just stepped into the sparyard and it's two wyrms... would have preferred two drakes, but whatevs. If she can survive a cyclops chewing on her head, Kal can survive a battle with two wyrms.

[coldwetn0se]

LOL, Shepen.

Good luck with AD. Ari and Castor will be doing that soon, themselves. Need more lvl.3 weapons.

[Shepenwepet]

I did manage to take Awakened Daimon down, rather cheaply, but I got it done. My basic attack, once Sorcerer Shinon used Holy Affinity, stunlocked him. It did very little damage, but he couldn't move for the entire... 5 minutes or so it took to take him down. Normal Daimon got to move around a bit...

 

 

Ack, gotta stop mid-post. Grace!

 

Edit: I got 'im, and finally scored my second Apollo Mask. Everyone went down to the alehouse to celebrate.

I don't think that Zi is on the server.

 

Well, time to get some shuteye. Good night!

Pink face paint. Shinon and Chase probably put him up to it.

Shinon: "Nah man. It looks awesome. Your affinity with everyone is really gonna take off now. Swear."
Zi: "*hic* If you say so. I trust you guys. Love ya Shin....lub ya Chase...."
Chase: "And we love you back, buddy. Another round?"

-----------

I missed grace, but I was busy fighting through BBI, and spending some time at the Black Abbey. No moonshimmers. I was still set as MA for most of it, so I got mostly "action" shots. I switched Chase to Fighter, and felt like going with a "theme" again. He's all in gold and black, and Ulee (finally switched her back to Assassin) is back in the red outfit. Also picked up Alynninon, after sending a few of the younger pawns home with some lvl.1 and 2 armors/weapons. (I have a crapton of lvl.1 armors and weapons.) Also got a friend request from someone named Bloodyhuman91. It didn't look like they had ever rented Chase before (though they could have under another tag, or privately). What was strange was under their profile, it shows them having DD:DA, but if I try and call their pawn from the rift, it shows a DD only pawn (ungiftable). *shrug* I dunno....I left it for now. If it is a lurker here, feel free to send me a PM to let me know. And I guess, start playing "online"(??)

Will post pics tomorrow. Tired. Sleep. Night.

[Shepenwepet]

I'm pretty sure DD shows up as Dark Arisen by default on the game/achievement list, but I'm not sure. I don't recognize Bloodyhuman from the pawn community, so chances are that's an Ur-request. You were still on the tablet last night before grace.

I sent Castor a level 3 weapon last night, since I'm pretty much done with what I need for those. Still don't have the fighter weapons, but I never use swords as an assassin and Zi is rarely a fighter. I'm gonna swap his framaes for sapfire daggers once I get them goldforged, and depending on the attack difference, I might cap him at Dragon's Glaze rather than Revenant Wail, since he's magic-heavy. I think I need moonshimmer pelts for that, don't I? Ugh. Why did they make the one monster that drops those nearly nonexistent post-daimon? Kal's at endgame, I can always reset BBI.

Ever notice that the guards from the bottom part of Gran Soren attack the guards from the top post-game?

 

 

 

 

Also, parrying + prescience = Massive amounts of fun.

 

 

 

 

 

At one point, one guard had had enough of seeing his colleagues getting parried with every attacked - thrown back by the parry's shockwave - and got scared and started cowering.

 

 

I don't blame him. Seriously, with prescience, you feel like a god as the parrying is easy to perform and looks badass when it sends up to five people hurtling away from you.

 

Post-game Gran Soren is my one of my favorite parts of the game as you literally get infinite respawning enemies.

[coldwetn0se]

@Shepen - Wowza! I'm all a tingle with antici_________pation...on finding out what goodie Castor will get. I got so wrapped up in Ulee/Chase yesterday, that I didn't play with Ari/Castor, or my PS3 duo, at all. I think I might be trying to do too many things at once. heh! I had to do some work today, plus I have been editing a story for a lovely fellow forumite, and trying to get a few things done around the house. Why am I babbling about all of that?

Anyway, will check out Castor/Ari today, and hopefully I will be switching him back to Sorcerer. I still have vocation leveling to do for MK, so I will probably use the "trick".

It's funny, that @Eternal Phoenix posted about that.

SO!! A few pictures from yesterdays affairs....

Spoiler

Ulee gets the "business end" of an Eliminator.


Burst Strike! Chase style!


Ummm...questions? Concerns? What's on your mind, Castor?


Nicholas is such a trooper, but he still looks confused whenever someone gets chomped by a Maneater. lol!


Dunno why I took this snap. *shrug*


Back to "The Red Assassin" for Ulee. I just love this outfit. It just suits her, for some reason.


And now for a few "Glamour" shots (hair and make-up by Raul)




Chase, solidifying his "bimbo" status.


Alynn-inon looking expectant. Probably can't understand why Chase is busy staring at the rock cliff, and Ulee is fussing with her clothes.

[Eternal Phoenix]

I've decided to experiment with the parrying ability more and use the MK's shield abilities. One of them was the Demonswrath which builds up blocked attacks into energy which can be released as a powerful burst:

 

 

Parrying whilst it is activated damages opponents with a small amount of damage and makes them collapse. The dark shield enchant is also awesome as, asides from inflicting powerful damage upon a successful parry, it also has a high chance of inflecting torpor to slow enemies down. I might just go through Bitterblack Isle as this build. Well I'm sure you guys have probably used these abilities to their full extent already if you've dabbled with the MK class but I hadn't used any of the MK's shield abilities completely like this until now so it's awesome seeing them in proper action. Turns out that they actually are viable with prescience.

 

Also I'm over 16,000 kills as this character. All in all, I've killed more than 100 dragon kin and 5000 human enemies. Oh and I've killed Damion 15 times. How many kills do you guys have?

 

Edit:

 

Turns out that the Demonswrath is actually extremely powerful.

 

http://www.gamefaqs....-dogma/65505911

 

Like the OP, I originally tested it out a year back, I thought it was useless until learning today that the charged up burst can actually one shot most enemies including bosses. Just another reason to pick the MK class guys. This along with abyssal anguish and great cannon turns the MK into a god. Arisen? More like The Seneschal.

 

Second Edit:

 

BTW did anyone ever see this early tech demo for Dragon's Dogma?

 

http://www.joystiq.c...real-tech-demo/

 

Turns out that development started in 2008 and it shows some cyclops' dancing...

[Shepenwepet]

Since I'm not overly-dependent on ranged attacks anymore, I bet I could actually get somewhere with MK now. I've never really tried it out, except to grind for augments and skills. I might look into that tonight.

 

Also I'm over 16,000 kills as this character. All in all, I've killed more than 100 dragon kin and 5000 human enemies. How many kills do you guys have?

 

I'm almost afraid to look.

 

Let's see... Alynna has 23142 enemies slain, the biggest chunk of that is humans, with 3143. The next biggest is leapworms with 1897.

 

Only 7 metal golems and 7 griffins. Also only 2 of each kind of hydra. For dragons I've got 59 dire drakes, 41 dire wyrms and 32 dire wyverns, with 102 cursed dragons.

 

Only 24 giant saurian sages. 183 regulars.

 

I remember late last year looking up how many maneaters I'd killed for some reason and finding it was around 70. Now it's 182.

[coldwetn0se]

Oh goodie!! We are talking MK right now. This is perfect. So I played around with MK quite a bit last year, but have ignored it somewhat over the past four or five months. I am in the processes of maxing out Ari's MK vocation, and I really want to play around with some of the talents that I don't ever remember using. So here are my questions, if anyone cares to answer with their own personal experience:

1) Vortex Sigil - Anyone tried this on some of the BBI foes, that are smaller in size? I wonder if they are still classified as "too heavy", for it to be of any use (with the exception of maybe Wargs, goblins and corrupts pawns)?

2) Ruinous Sigil - I have actually used this before, but I don't remember getting any good use out of it. Any tricks to take advantage of this skill?

3) Any other useful tips, would be great.

I have killed Daimon with an MK before, and of course, a number of BBI creatures. Like I stated though, it has been a while, and I want to play around with some of the other talents. BTW, I am not maxed in the vocation yet. Up to six levels currently.
