Can I get some tips on what build is best for dragons (magma/acid mage), what should I do with my ship, what food/potions I should prepare, and other general knowledge?
Already I plan to:
You probably already know this but make sure to make warding pots and use sentinel for passive warding so you dont have to give up stats
Regen is good until powerfuls in my experience also powerfuls attack cycle gets faster(might be biased by me) i guess in the 2 fights i did i really cannot get close so powerfuls and after range might better to invest
Make healing pots and harming gels
Thats all from my first experiences
I’m a mage, only thing a shield does for me is give me defense in exchange for movespeed, unless that was changed
Don’t use atlantean essence, and I don’t think I’ll go too deep, i2 at best for now I think
U were right i didnt know it holds no benefit to mages forget shields
Oh thats ok then good luck
about full beast defense, I’ve been screwing around with the beast defense things and I can’t seem to get anything higher than 67%. no matter how many metal items I equip it caps there, and it only counts like the first two or three beast def-giving items for some reason, anyone else having the same issue or
Intentional behavior
that is the max intended beast defence
however if you have the dragon blood ritual it can stack higher (Said from someone else though, so cannot confirm & you need to refresh your character every time you do a new ritual or join a server as the dragon boosted defense won’t apply till after you change some equipment or change the gear visibility)
Get soap and you’re fine, both times I almost died while fighting dragons was from water poisoning
Good call, would’ve forgotten that
best way to kill dragons iirc is cannon fist
what tier of dragons do you intend to fight, you will have a natural advantage as a mage
grounded firebreath is stupid easy to dodge around the side to (atleast from my experience), use that to dish out an abhorrant amount of damage against dragons
Thanks a lot!
Nothing higher than powerful, even that’s not for sure, but I think adults are on the table.
Also I might delay until optimization update drops and gather stuff for a decent build meanwhile
full grown dragons are very doable, but they can still be challenging and you cannot get greedy, ESPECIALLY corrupted dragons
Powerful dragons are extremely hard to solo tbh, i havent been able to pull it off but i know some people have so i guess its possible
I heard light, aether, regulus (?), wind, and all the lightning dragons are a no go due to their speed, is that right?
and gravity, idk why but i heard gravity is also particularly busted
Oh yeah I forgot gravity
Also is optimization update being actively released, and not set to come out on a certain day like usual? I’m not sure actually.
tbh i figured itd just be treated like a patch when they just release it when its ready, so it could come at any time
I2 for now? Magic-wielding dragons can spawn there, so you gotta need something to counteract their blast barrage. Airstalling may help to a degree, but I think making a wall with that one spell (was it Construct? I forgot) will help even more. Spirit Wall is totally useless here, but one that you just leave out there and not hold right in front of you should work better. At the very least, the arena has a lot of trees, hide behind those. The explosion size of dragon’s blasts is way bigger than it looks.
When a dragon uses its breath attack, you are best to move to its side, so you’ll have a long and safe window to attack it. Would Hasta help you do that? I’m uncertain.
Unlike Spirit, Magic doesn’t have a sidegrade to blast like the Spirit Hound, so you’ll need something else to spam alongside Blast for your main stream of damage. Beam is too close-ranged, so I suggest Javelin or Cannon.
