We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
It's automatically uploaded whenever you rest at an inn while you're connected to the internet.
We should have a share your pawn thread. Here is mine. ID92-31e2-4939
Every time you rest at an inn or at an encampment that offers inn-like services, the current, local state of your created pawn is uploaded to Capcom's servers. If you don't periodically rest at an inn, the server version of your pawn will remain as it was at the time of last upload. Level, gear, vocation, quest knowledge, monster knowledge, location knowledge.
Resting at an inn will also download rift crystals earned, gifts awarded, and quest/location/monster knowledge learned while your pawn was hired out and adventuring with other Arisens.
This thread is just the best - thanks for the help
The battle music never switching off is at least sometimes due to enemies being stuck inside walls/floors and untargetable. I was by the quarry last night and sighing over the never-ending battle music, then spotted a twitching goblin face poking out of a rock wall. The music finally stopped after killing it. This happened with a snow harpy also, just a wing flailing out of the ground.
The story is by far the biggest disappointment, but it's an excellent action RPG with a lot of great emergent moments to create your own story.
It's definitely a bit interesting around the end but it's super confusing throughout the whole game, and especially at the end. Partly because the quests are kinda janky, parts of them can be done out of order so you miss a bit of setup (especially if you often fast travel). Partly because they use ye olde English, or even ye older English for much of the dialogue. And partly because the game seems to assume you will understand things based solely on what's happening in various cutscenes but it's certainly not that clear for a lot of them.
Once I finally finish the post game I'm sure I'll have a lot of story/lore questions to ask here.

Those of you just starting out, or doing runs in BBI, please take my pawn out so that I can get rift crystals. She is a level 31 Strider who will end up as an end-game ranger. Her inclinations are challenger and migitator. This means she'll focus on range attackers, spell casters, and the weakest first; Great for clearing adds. My Switch ID is SW-6868-5420-6112

Wait, what?!
My one complaint about this game was the fact I needed to go into the menu to look at the map. Now you're telling me that I don't...
I must be back online now because I never saw my pawn ID until it just popped up after trying to connect to the server. I guess that's how you can look a pawn up without adding a million friends?
She's a warrior at the moment, but I haven't set any of the long start-up moves because pawns tend to whiff those. She has sinew so can carry a decent amount of stuff.
Sounds good, I'll add her to my party this evening.

Apparently there are other shortcuts available that the game doesn't explain clearly - everyone knows "-" for Inventory screen and "+" for Pause menu, but double-pressing "-" will go straight to Equipment screen instead and double-pressing "+" will take you to the Map straightaway. Really useful for those who play in docked mode.Wait, what?!

Also many items can be assigned to the d-pad as hotkeys in the Inventory screen for quick access by holding L+R then tapping the direction assigned (mainly for consumables and tools, great for health/stamina items and the lantern, doesn't work with the Eternal Ferrystone or for switching weapons).
Didn't play on Switch, but I went through, did new game, new game plus, bitterblack isle twice, game is still so good.If there's a second one coming, it'll be day one for me! Hope ya'll enjoy it, especially if you're playing for the first time. It's got problems, but the gameplay is not one of them.
After around 15 hours, the game is finally clicking with me and now I'm addicted.
The first few hours are a miserable experience, but after a while it gets good. I remember dropping the game back on PC with around 10 hours played, so I'm glad I gave it another shot. Switch form factor really helps.
Still, the game can be really rough in some areas. Definition of a flawed gem.

I specifically didn't make my pawn a mage because I figured that was a popular choice. I go online tonight after adding a ton of you and NOT A SINGLE MAGIC HELPER in the lot!!
Who did I miss? Who has a mage ready to JOIN ME. Looking for somebody level 30+
Edit: man I just love this game

Oh snap, thanks again.
I really wish you could hotkey the Eternal Ferrystone. That and just having the hotkey commands be on the d-pad, because unless I'm missing something important (which is certainly possible) having the commands for your Pawns mapped to the d-pad feels like a waste.
I don't know why you even need to hold both L+R, surely just holding either of these would be enough.
Double tapping "start" (the "+" button I believe) also opens the map. Same with double tapping the "select" button which opens the equipment menu.Wait, what?!

You need to hold both because holding down L is reserved for special attacks assigned to the face butttons for the secondary weapon as is R for the primary weapon.

Fair, but that's face buttons. You don't use the d-pad when using special attacks though, unless there's a situation I'm not thinking of.
I think I beat every floor in post game everfall. It's to fucking hard to tell if I missed a floor, except trying to land on each and see if my nap us filled, which you cant land on all of them in a single drop.
I don't know if I have the stamina to keep at the offline Ur dragon. With the necessary backing out after it runs and constant one shots. Are the rewards worth it?

Offline? Hell no, move onto BBI. Nothing Ur gives you will touch the BBI equipment.
My bad I was thinking the hotkeys were assigned to the face buttons. Forgot it was the dpad.
It's the best place for super easy level grind and gold farming
For magic users anyway
Does maelstrom hit all those hearts? What spell makes it easy?
Just go to BBI. Rewards are so much better in BBI for half of the effort.
First stack 4 demon's periapts(and all the Magick boosting augments)
Use Holy infinity + focused bolts
They will auto home-in on all the hearts as long as u are near/facing their general directions
They will usually keep the dragon staggered
You can even run around when charging the the attack
Use a pilgrim's charm, before kill, for double xp
Depending on level, augments, and gear
Each kill can take a 2-3 minutes, down to even 30-40seconds
Not too bad for 250,000xp(when solo) and like a million(?) gold per kill!

Whelp. I gave it a go for the past 40 minutes and no dice. Either you have some god stats and weapons I don't, or im doing something wrong. I'm not achieving anywhere near that dps, and the charge times are long enough that I'm not getting consistent stun lock going.

Your dragon's wit should be enough, preferably enhanced to level 3, and ur-dragon can dragon forge it
Make sure to use the 4 demons periapt back to back during the fight, and they need to be reapplied
The augments you need are acuity, attunement, ferocity, bloodlust(fight at night), autonomy(when you can solo)
Just takes some practice:)
Check out some upoop videos for reference

All these preparations are used in BBI also
So they are not for naught

I'm looking through the various vocation skills in the wiki, and noticed that Magick Knight has a bunch of reactive skills that fire when you block or "perfect block". Is that sort of like parrying in a souls game, where you press a button just as you are about to be hit to activate the skill?
Yeah. It's fairly easy to time, too.
With Mystic Knight, it enchants your Magick Shield, plus it counters with a spell. For other shield classes, it just staggers enemies.
It's also used to start some of your advanced offensive abilities/your bullet hell.
That sounds real cool. I'll have to check that out eventually.
It's probably one of the most unique playstyles in any action game, and you can absolutely chew through enemies health.
