I have started noticing tons of DRGs 52+ wearing these for parties. I don't know if there's something new I don't know about but last I checked there's much better leg gear to wear when in a party.
I"m a 75 drg and I see the help in wearing these and not wearing these, true they arent that great but for soloing I wear these cause puks are dragons and enhanced ancient circle helps and more wyvern hp helps his breaths, for prty though I would have to choose my barone because of the str and attack, for all the people who say that ur a bad drg for not wearing the af then u are a noob u have to look at the big picture, drg af isnt that great in exp prty it was made for soloing since drg was made to be a soloing job, if u want to say drg af is the best then good for u but actually try it out compared to other armor before u say this, and yes I have drg pride but I'm not an idiot
this quest makes me mad, im a lvl 55 drg and i still dont have my drachen brais. Ive tried to get to the NM 3 times and no one knows how to get there(even the drg's that have done the quest). Im starting to think that the brais arent worth it and i should just not even bother getting them.
im in the Asura server, so if anyone who wants to help that knows the way {Help me out!}characters name: Ziltch
Really noticable increase on healing breaths, not so much on breath attacks but still doing better. Not sure if I maybe missed something but I'm sure my healing breaths are now doing on average an extra 50~ hp back. which is nummy :) Up until now I'd been wearing Republic subligar / crow hose, so these are a big improvement over both. (well, the 5 attack is nice I guess, but meh, its a subligar -_-)
The Tiger NM you have to fight for this can hit pretty darn fast, and his hits land solidly if your tank isn't ready. When I went to get this, I didn't have the luxury of knowing Paladins or Warriors who I could get to help. ^.^;
My group consisted of me (50Drg), 3 60ish Drk's, a 64Rdm and a 59 Blm. One of the Drk's tanked it, and he was taking damage -fast-.
And yeah, just as the previous poster said, get someone after 60 with shadows and you'll be ok.
When I was get ready to do this I asked a few an they said I need a full alliance of 60+.
lol, whoever said that is a complete moron, you should give him a good pimp slapping. Duoed it as 61 NIN/DRG (for the haste gear obviously) with 50 DRG/WHM that didn't do a thing but cure and rest MP.
Soloed as 71 NIN/BLM
***** hits fast but speed and accuracy are two different things =P
When I was get ready to do this I asked a few an they said I need a full alliance of 60+. However when I was ready to fight the tiger I couldn't find anyone to help me so I looked up all Drgs 70+ I asked one and she said she'd help me. So we went into Eldiem got through with minor problems ^^;; but yeah got there killed the Tree for TP and then I spawned the Tiger. Well it was alittle hard but we killed it nps. So point is you don't need a full alliance I'd say have maybe some one who can take the hits from the tiger since it hit me for 150 and her for 120 but you do not need alot of ppl to do this.. at least that was my experience hope it helps alittle lol. Oh and Thank you to the Drg that helped me.
-A new feature regarding the storage of artifact armor has been added. Artifact armor for each job consists of five parts: Head, Body, Hands, Legs, and Feet. If you trade all five parts to one of the NPCs listed below, you will receive a key item called a "claim slip" in exchange for your artifact armor. You can retrieve your armor at any time by talking to the NPC and paying 1000 gil.
Woah Woah Woah guys, Let's calm down shall we? lol
Anyways, DRG AF is by far the coolest looking AF in the game (Dragoon Pride). Now I'm level 42 DRG and the AF Lance is the best lance they got out there. I had the other lance that gives you +2 AGI and on the Midgarsomr server it's 80k+ gil -.- So I would much rather kill the lame *** NM for the AF lance and use that, and get my 80k gil back! XD
Now as far as how GOOD the AF armor is.. Well that's yet to be seen (can't use it yet) But i'll just take all the *GOOD* DRGs advice and use it ^^
had a pretty easy time gettin this piece. went w/ a 75mnk and a 75blm. i dont feel a need to mention what's been already stated, but i like that i'm that much closer to looking like an actual Dragoon and not just another soft-bodied fighter w/ a lance
Although you are right about the AF weapon at that level...you DO REALIZE that it can be upgraded later on in Dynamis etc....so actually in a way yes you DO use ur AF weapon later on...
How stupid am I? Theres a quest bar above my posts, well, carry on with your fighting, and to all you true drgs, show em the true reason drgs exist. Peace Out.
Yea, if you can stop arguing for a minute and helpme out, ill be most grateful. If this helps you help me, drgs kick ***, no matter what they say. I'm only a 42drg/sam now, but I get the hate over everything unless I'm partying with a blm that spams.
Now on to the point.
How do I go about obtaining the first glorious peice of DRG AF?
Oh, and btw, 2 Dex isnt that much, guaranteed it helps for the accuracy+ and Critical Hit Ratio+, but boosting your wyvern is so much more helpful.
I got this suca yesterday, and got extreamly luckly along the way, got my paper for LB1 and engraved key from the retarded overgrown tree known as Atuh. Tiga comes out and smacks me for a good 200 (ima level 50 dragoon btw) and my pally vokes it off me. Quick fight, it went down easy, had a 65 pld, 71 drk, 60 rdm, and a 59 mnk and myself helpin. Ole' Penta thrust scored a nice 300 on it even though its above level 60, which makes me proud to be DRG and soon to wear the purple pimpness. good luck to all you DRGs out there.
All who doesn't wanna wear this because (let's say) RSE gives alot of great stuff(DEX, STR) shouldn't be playing a DRG. DRG's strength is their wyvern, and that's that. Not DEX and whatever, wyvern can give massive amount of damage with the right stuff. Ofcourse the DRG itself is strong, but then DRK would be better.
Take care of your wyvern. It can and will save you, atleast once.
The 10% HP+ really helps, it makes it live longer and increases its breath. Besides, we get more HP (not much but it helps) and resistance to Earth, also increases our Ancient Circle effect. All in all, this is not in the least junk. Also, for the matter of whether u should Dismiss it, I do agree that it SUCKS to have your wyvern killed, but you have to think of it like this. If the wyvern is dead, then you lose its extra help. If you Dismiss the wyvern, you once again lose its extra help, although you can summon it back whenever. If you combine Spirit Link and Dismiss though, you can keep it alive and have it out mostly to beat the crap outa things. If somethings about to do a STRONG AOE, then use Dismiss. Once you summon it back, when an enemy uses that again and you cannot Dismiss it, then you can use Spirit Link to keep it alive while you wait for Dismiss to become active again. From doing that, you still get a kickbutt wyvern on your side, and you keep it from getting it's butt kicked. I'm not against anyone, and everyone has their own strategy, but more people should just shuttup instead of ******** at other strategies, and just try seeing if they work, and how to make them better. If the strategy really does suck, well then help the person instead of calling them a dumbass! Mine works pretty good though, if anyone wants to try it out. 52DRG/26WAR-Unicorn Server

i'm just gonna ignore elendils post cause he just sounds like one of those *desperate to defend their job with mad anger and stupidity* people
Also, Elendil isn't one of those stupid people, he actually has a brain. My wyvern has saved me plenty of times, ESPECIALLY on links and solo (healing breath or finishing attack when both HP is around 1 hit kill). So please, try to think before posting something, because you seem like a complete jerk when you don't.

Actually, at level 50 my wyvern has 500 HP. So it's probably going to give her a little more than 50 HP. Of course, that 50 HP is going to increase my wyvern's breath attacks/heals, so I'd be glad to have it (if I can just get a stupid party together to kill that NM...)
The funny thing, though, is that if you add that 500 HP to my HP at that level (a little more than 800), that gives me, if not more, about the same HP as a Galka MNK... *ponders*

Scorpion Harness is much better statwise than most DRG armor available...
When you reach endgame...you'll learn to favor stat over look....because trust me, the mandatory optical hat for melee is not the coolest thing you'll ever wear, nor is the assault jerkin if you don't plan on wearing scorpion harness
How is favoring better stats for better performance in exp party make me a bad DRG?
I offer you one simple question: What in the heck does the Scorpion HARNESS have to do with Drachen BRAIS? They don't even go in the same slot. There's really no sense to this entire debate being on this thread... considering the Brais are probably the best leg gear available for Dragoons at this level.
