The Dragoon....Follow

Exactly... respect is what all players should recieve, no matter the level or job.

Great post. There is a quiet truth to this. A respect... an admiration. After the Flag Quest for DRG, I knew it was it....

Thank you for elequently posting your observation Synergetic...

/welcome

(and rate-up ^-^)

I always stop and salute other DRG. That or I do the "/em does the secret DRG handshake with <t>" people seem to get a kick outta that. ;)

Ahhhh.... The remeberrance of how it looks to see a fellow DRG salute one another. In my Opinion DRG has a secret code of Honor you'd expect from a samurai but yet there is no honor when two samurai's cross paths. When two Dragoons cross the same path they need not to salute or /em a single thing because they know that they have seen what they want to see and that is another member of the DRG family. With My lance(+1 ^^) on my Back and Ember at my side. I will defeat the opposition, I will do all I can do, I will show that damn cocky DRK that im just as good. I am Razieal The Dragon Knight and I have a Dragon's Pride.


btw you should be a author cause that was a very dramatic incident which wasnt as serious as you made it sound lol.

I'm a newer drg and I salute every drg I see. The sad thing is all jobs should feel the same way. Sure there are tons of war ( per 30 lvls more then anything), blm, whm, etc, but you all play the same job. If you see another player, show them so respect. I just wish everyone would understand. You should only get tired of ppl what can't play their job while; never the job. Lvl hard.

A nice tribute to the job, I will give the thought a thumbs up.



It just seems weird, like writing poetry about a happy meal or something.. i mean, its a dragoon, Not Kirin or Altana... sheesh ^^

Excellent. Excellent!

As an aside, I would challenge you to look at your servers and see what the least numbered job is post 35 (Because thats when leveling subs stop), and see where Dragoons fall out. We truly are the few. I would have it no other way.

I've heard that a lot of DRGs get into their roles more often than most other jobs. Wish it were that way with SAMs...

not only was that maybe the best post i have ever seen, but u worded it very well! u should write a book called "The last dragoon" LOL. great post Rate ^^

Mad sexy thread. ^^ This silent code among DRG's is real. I practice it and witness it through others frequently. Rate up!

(p_q) i can stop my tears....
Yea... Specially when we are in Full Purple AF.... we look awesome with our Wyvern! :D

Great post and well put. I've often noticed that unspoken connection. On Valefor I've noticed alot of DRG like to salute and wave to each others wyverns lol =).

Good post.

Great post. Dito. I always /salute my like-lvl DRG, /cheer the lower lvl DRG and /kneel for the High lv DRG. I don't know why I do it. It's just the comraderie and respect. What I am capable of doing in a pt makes me feel good and knowing, (hopefully) others feel the same way about the job, i feel i need to at least say hi, introduce myself, or salute them. DRG rule! ^^

I wrote this a week or so ago. I didn't post it here because the intended audience was those not familiar with what dragoons can really do..but this is for all of us. This is Me and this is We.

What are you?

I've weathered the storm of the above question, from naysayers of other jobs and from those of my own. With the prompting of Muse disguised as a thief defending her position as a puller, I have found my voice to answer...

I am a Dragoon.

I am a Dragoon. I am not the Father of Deception, I intend to stop the perpetuation of lies. I have rightfully earned the power you perceive. The scales of my armor represent those of a transmuting serpent. I recognize a need and fill it.

I am a Dragoon. I can protect you. I can fight with the vitality and stamina of a warrior. My taunts and misdirection allow a shadowed thief to deal crippling blows in relative safety. I work with my companions in war, my paladins, my ninjas, my warriors, calling back rampaging creatures and protecting my mages.

I am a Dragoon. Nature’s electricity flashes in my reflexes. I can fight with the lithe capabilities of the thief and the samurai. I've been trained in the art of silent and explosive power. And I am a Dragoon. I will not cower or crumble at retaliation.

I am a Dragoon. I can even save your life. My linage did not determine my destiny, I chose it. My path first took me to another school. I was a healer and a magician. I mended wounds, not caused them. I taught these skills to my corded companion and now, she heals you my friends as we consume our prey.

I am a Dragoon. For moments, I can fly. At times, it saddens me that I can't offer this freedom to others. So many of you have such heavy hearts and thus are shackled to the earth. Please do laugh when I jump. It's much more fun than it is funny. It's the closest I can come to bringing you with me into the skies.

I am a Dragoon. I bring a beloved and loyal companion. She won't criticize you, she never stops. All she asks if for are brief breaks to rest her ragged wings. For all her loyalty and bravery in battle, she’s entirely dependent on others for her health. She and I have a bond I could not possibly ever explain. Bound by heart-break, we defeated our bitterness. We carry internal as well as the external scars. She is silent, she is power, she is mine and yet I am willing to share some of that with you. I owe her my life and she owes me hers. You will never find more conviction to prevail.

At one point in the history of my kind, I was your choice to expedite the demise of our prey. Alas, this artificial enhancement was recognized and for the good of all, abolished. Many assumed this was a fatal blow and to many of my fellows, it was. But I am not one of them. I live.

I am a Dragoon. My introduction to the order came in the form of betrayal. I don't shy from your scorn and sneers. There are no barbs you can throw, no twisted words that could possibly poison me more than the wails of my own in their fathoms of self-pity.

I am a Dragoon. I am a Dragon Knight. I fight with the old world dignity of my order. I fight to resurrect and nourish the forgotten honor.

Beautiful writing you two. I've looked at other forums and ours is the only one with great role playing like these. We understand this game and for us, partying isn't a chore (but looking for a party is :P). anyway yeah, i had a run in with a fellow drg a while back. he was getn'chased by a quad in lonschetet and i jumped on it and it died. i said no prob and, as a joke, said, "you owe me now." That's when a terrifying strolling sapling came a long and he jumped on it and beat it to a pullp in a couple of hits. "There, repaid," he said as we saluted each other (we both had secret drg handshake macros) and went on our ways.

I got papyrus last night, guess who helped me.
A random Drg although he was not the only one,
had a 64rm help for nothing as well.
The drg only asked to skill up, we found a chest and after lotting he ended up with a nice scythe, what did i care, papyrus was my goal.
After around 20 lichs we came away with papyrus and managed to get out without dieing even once. Especially lucky since the doors closed inbetween me and the hls, i didnt move and got out alive.
Thank you, Basir (drg) and rm that I cant remember. DOH

Great post you guys, rate up for everyone! /cheer

It truly takes honor and pride to walk through Vana'diel bearing the ever criticized title of Dragoon. I got the job a week ago and now at 32, am still loving this job better than the rest of any i have tried. You'll see on a few of the threads in this forum, I have stuck up for us quite a bit, though my rants were sometimes immature. It makes me happy to see that some people still have faith in us, and even happier when new dragoons are satisfied with the choice they made!

Good Luck out there! <take care>

/salute!

Please indulge me. You can write well, and put alot of emotion into your post... I am verry intrigued by your words and your talent.

Would you please post again, in detail... the "long version" in YOUR words of our DRG quest?





Theese are the phrases to which I refer. I was somewhat rushed towards the end of Flag quest.

Please, in your own words, re-tell the story of our heritage....

-bump- a positive thread worth not being lost....

Lets keep this going.
Ill be trying to mentor new or not yet drgs,
so let me know if you need a hand.
Im on Leviathan.
Jacien

...Penta Thrust spam? :P

Very nice writing overall, though.

Mitthrawn,
I must find someone worthy for that as well on Leviathan.
Being I am just 51 myself it will be a while, I must never forget.
Thats spectacular comradery.
Jacien

Wow, nice confession. I really admire you guys. I mean, being a monk, I had very few party invites. As a Dragoon, I bet you guys get even less. If anything, people should invite a Dragoon over a Drk, but what do I know.

After I get my new account up (Dam bro messed up my old one.) and re-lvl, I'll be able to join the ranks of the other Bahamult Dragoons. (Sadly, I've only seen 2 my whole time playing on the Bahamult server.) So, any Bahamult dragoons out there, look for Demodraken, the low lvl War.

Btw, why does the Bahamult server have so few, when its named after the king of all Dragons? Just a random thought.....

i got DRG last night and start lvl it just to see if it was something for me. at lvl 6 i was killing some sheeps when i get a tell
Him:"you just got drg?"
me "yes"
him: "welcome to the world of the drg's"

i was chocket.. first time i ever see something like that.

i wish whm's had the same type of brotherhood ^^;

Well i did it. After all the running around, and erand running i got the drg quest done. Ironically this time i had a lvl 54 drg help, which made the maze easier and the dragon fight a breeze. Now im off to go farm, then lvl ma drg. Cant wait. By the way, Arcane of fenrir is the one who was responsible for helping me. Not only is he the leader of a really good linkshell, hes also one of the best and nicest players ive met, but could probably be a poster child for what it means to be a drg. If any of u other drgs are in Fenrir, and need an extra bruiser not afraid to take hits and cover butts, look me up.
