Summary
Dragon’s Dogma 2features one of the most in-depth accessory systems, enabling you to choose the best tools that are most suitable for your vocation and playstyle. Forget cookie-cutter builds – here, you can forge the perfect arsenal to maximize your strengths and slay with strategic finesse.
Whether you are creating aThief buildor gearing up to be a formidable sorcerer, there are universal items that stand out as incredibly useful across various builds and situations. The following are some of the best items in Dragon’s Dogma 2, ranked according to their power, utility, and impact to help you become the ultimate Arisen.
1Ferrystone
While you can walk anywhere in the game, there are times when you just don’t have the time to transverse the entire map on foot. These stones allow you to teleport from your current location to any designated spot on the map together with your pawns or the NPCs that you are carrying.
You can obtain Ferrystonesby looting treasure chests throughout the game, purchasing them from merchants, or completing specific quests that grant you the items as a reward. They work together withPortcrystals, which you can set as fast travel points.
You need to be outside in the open without anything overhead to be able to use Ferrystones.
2Portcrystal
These are designated beacon locations that act as fast travel points across the map. They are available as both permanent fixtures, that can be found in specific towns and cities, or portable fixtures in your inventory, which you’re able to place at locations of your choosing.
When used strategically, Portcrystals can help you move faster around the map in places you have previously visited by use of Ferrystones. You can acquire Portcrystals as rewards for completing some quests, such as theA Trial of Archeryor the Feast Of Deception.
3Eternal Wakestone
Like something straight out of a movie, you can use this item to raise all NPCs within range from the dead - keep in mind that its range can be as large as an entire town. TheEternal Wakestoneis a consumable, but given its high potency, it can only be used once.
One of the best ways to get it is bydefeating the SphinxinA Game of Wits quest. You can also opt to purchase a forgery of theEternal Wakestonefrom Ibrahim’s Scrap Store in the Checkpoint Rest Town for 30,000 G, which is a much faster way to get more Eternal Wakestones. However, don’t forget that they are still single-use items.
4Wyrmslife Crystal
Wyrmslife Crystalsare crystallized fragments of the draconic life force. They serve as valuable materials that are primarily used for upgrading and empowering weapons and armor, which can help to increase the level of damage you deal to opponents and boost your overall defensive capabilities.
you may also exchange these crystals for specialized equipment when you encounter theDragonforged NPCin your playthrough. They typically require some effort to acquire, as one of the main ways to get them involves defeating either a dragon or a drake. You can also find them hidden in chests scattered throughout the world or as rewards after completing certain quests.
Slaying a Dragon will typically net you more crystals (around ten to 20), while a fleeing Dragon may only drop one or two.
5Art Of Metamorphosis
Character customization is a core mechanic in Dragon’s Dogma 2, and if at one point you feel like you botched up your initial character creation at the start of the game, you may use this consumable to alter the appearance of your character or pawn.
This item can be found at the Rift Pawn Guild Shop around Vernworth, where you will have to purchase it for 500 RC. Keep in mind that the item only changes your character’s appearance, and you can only use it once in any playthrough, so be sure of your changes before you apply them.
6Seeker’s Token
The Seeker’s token is a rare collectible that is characterized by its shape: a distinct large size in the form of a golden coin with a dragon embedded in it. There are a total of 240 of these items in the game, and they are primarily used as trade-ins for rewards at any Vocation Guild.
Finding them can, however, be an uphill task as they are often hidden in areas that require all your senses. But if you are determined to access them, you can equip the Detection Augment from theTrickster vocation, which makes them glow when you are close to them.
7Golden Trove Beetle
Just like the Seeker’s token, these are also collectible items that are scattered throughout the areas. They are 82 in number and upon consumption, they can increase the carrying capacity of you or your pawn by 0.15 units.
The beetles can be found perched on trees or rocks outside and usually have a distinct golden glow. You can also purchase them at some merchants for 5,000 G. While they are not essential to beating the game, these beetles can be an invaluable resource for players who want to carry more loot in their adventures or early on when your inventory space is limited.
Sometimes,pawns with a specific inclination(Scrounger) can also pick up these beetles on their own when they spot them.
8Ring Of Recitation
This is a powerful accessory that significantly reduces your spellcasting time. Equipping the item allows you to unleash your spells noticeably faster, making your magic more responsive, which can potentially catch enemies off guard.
The ring is ideal for vocations that heavily rely on spellcasting, such as Sorcerers and Magical Archers. To get the ring, you’re able to collect it as a rare drop when you defeat the Lich enemy found in the Tomb of Ja’Nuwa. It can also be acquired through looting from chests found in various locations.
Be careful while using this ring in intense situations as it reduces your maximum health by 20 percent, which can leave you more vulnerable to enemy attacks.
