How to get (or farm) Wyrmslife Crystals

Wyrmslife Crystals are incredibly important items The dogma of the dragon 2. While they may not seem that important at the start of the game, as soon as players meet a certain NPC called Dragonforged, their importance will immediately become clear.

Not only are these items used to obtain extra Ferrystones and a Portcrystal (in addition to the Unmaking Arrow), but players can also upgrade their gear a fourth time in Dragonforged using these crystals and will be able to purchase the best end products. Dragonforged game items in the Unmoored World. So, let's look at the best ways players can farm these crystals The dogma of the dragon 2.

Updated December 1, 2024 by Jacob Buchalter: Farming items in Dragon's Dogma 2 is a key part of the game. Thankfully, the game has an absolutely fantastic combat system that makes it fun to fight enemies over and over again, regardless of how boring it may seem. However, Wyrmslife Crystals are a resource that Arisen will need in absurd quantities to fully upgrade their weapons and armor, purchase some of the best gear in the game, or even upgrade specific abilities of their choice in NG+. Luckily, it's not too difficult to farm these items in DD2, at least while you're late in the game. So, let's look at all the best methods we could think of to farm these crystallized fragments of dragon's blood

Method 1: Fight the Drakes normally

And hoping they drop a lot of crystals

The first or “default” method of obtaining these crystals is to simply fight the Drakes. Whether these are the standard greenish Drakes or the pustule-covered red Drakes players will fight in Melve, both work.

Typically, you'll only get a couple of Wyrmslife Crystals, at most, by fighting a Drake until it flies away. But you'll get a lot more if you can kill and loot, Drake said. Each Drake has around four items that can be looted from its body, with Wyrmslife Crystals being one of the potential drops along with Ferrrystones, Wakestones, Wakestone Shards, and Dragon Scales.

So, depending on your luck, a single Drake kill can get you 5 to 24+ Wyrmslife crystals. However, it's not like Drakes are that plentiful The dogma of the dragon 2so here are some known places where they spawn:

• In the ancient battlefield of Vermund
• Northeast of the Nameless Village
• Near Guerco Cavern on the way to Harve Village
• In a Battahl forest right near where you meet the Trickster Meister
• Bloodwyrm Forest
• Northeastern end of the volcanic island of Agamen
• South of the excavation site

Keep in mind that the difficulty of these Drakes seems to be relative to the area they are found in, so don't expect the Drake from the Ancient Battlefield to be just like the one from the Excavation Site. Furthermore, although not entirely confirmed, Drakes appear to follow the same respawn timer as larger enemies which can range from 7 to 14 in-game days (best to spend time away from their spawn as well).

Method 2: Breeding dragons with the thief vocation

Let Bump and Lift do all the work

For this next method, it will require players to play with a particular calling, which is Thief. See, the thief vocation has a skill called Pilfer which allows them to steal items from enemies while staggered. However, the real focus of this second Method is the Thief's Basic Skill called Bump and Lift. This main ability means that every time the thief connects with his light attack (AKA Carve) he has a very small chance of stealing an item from the enemy he hits. And, while Pilfer doesn't let you steal items infinitely as long as you keep staggering the enemy, Bump and Lift absolutely does.

So, this second method involves using the weakest daggers possible like the Thief's Vocation, finding a Drake, and absolutely going to town with light attacks for as long as possible to get as many Wyrmslife Crystals as possible. Again, depending on your luck, this method may not work as well as you'd expect, but it should still be the most efficient method for growing these crystals overall. Just try to make sure your pawns are dedicated to supporting or tanking while you do this, so that they don't actively fight the Drake and reduce the number of chances of getting crystals. Also, if you manage to get the Ring of Mockery from the Sphinx's Riddle, this really helps a lot as it reduces your overall damage to almost 0, giving you hundreds more chances to activate Bump and Lift.

Method 3: Farm the Unmoored World with Thief

Hit every dragon in sight for as little damage as possible

Disclaimer:
This final method involves spoilers about the post-game or “true ending” of Dragon's Dogma 2, so read at your own risk.

Finally, the last and probably the most efficient method of all to get Wyrmslife Crystals is to play with a thief (or group of thieves) in the unmoored world. Not to spoil too much, but there is a sort of “end game area” you can enter at the end The dogma of the dragon 2 based on your choices towards the end of the main story.

And, while you're here in the Unmoored World, time doesn't move as it normally would. Instead of time passing…well, as time passes, it passes when you rest. And, after a certain number of “rests”, enemies stop regenerating altogether and you'll basically have no reason to stay here anymore, which is the real “time limit” related to this world that everyone talks about.

However, another aspect of the Unmoored World is that there are plenty of Drakes and Red Drakes to fight here as well as actual Dragon-type enemies that spawn from red light beams that also drop a nice chunk of Wyrmslife Crystals each. So, as long as you farm all these Drakes (which should be able to respawn once or twice, given the rest time limit) and defeat all the main story's Dragon-type enemies, you should get a pretty absurdly high stack of Wyrmslife Crystals . by the end of it.

Some agricultural advice for the unmoored world

We've also put together a list of some other things to keep in mind while you're out in the unmoored world to make farming as easy as possible. The tips listed below are not in any specific order or categorized in any specific way, but they should all help make farming in Unmoored World a little easier, as the whole system can be really confusing at first glance:

• Use your Wakestones as often as necessary, if you “completely die” you will have to go back to the start of the Unmoored World or to the last time you slept at an inn in the Unmoored World, which could take hours of lost progress depending on how much time has passed.
• Remember to equip the Ring of Mockery, if you have it, so you can Carve on the Drakes for as long as possible.
• Thief tokens can also have the core ability Bump and Lift, so it might be worth running 2 thief tokens and a wizard token (for healing) as a thief vocation that arises just while you are in the unmoored world.
• Most Warforged Dragon weapons (those that cost 110 WC) appear to deal additional damage to Draconic enemies.
• Remember to target the hearts of these Drakes whenever you can, especially while they are breathing fire. With Red Drakes, you should also look for pustules on their bodies.
• If the dragon flies through the air with its tail still within reach, be sure to grab it. It's hard to tell when the dragon is flying to attack or flying away, so always grabbing it when it does will cover all results.
• If your max HP is getting pretty low in the Umoored world but you don't want to waste a rest, change your vocation and go back for a full heal or use a full heal elixir.
• If your main pawn doesn't have armor and weapons comparable to yours, the Unmoored World is where you'll notice it the most. Make sure they are as durable and strong as possible.
• As in the first game, Draconic species have a weakness to ice elemental damage and can be prevented from flying away or knocked out of the sky by attacking their wings when applicable.

Method 4: Complete specific missions

Sometimes you will receive crystals as quest rewards

And for the final and least effective method, let's talk about how to get Wyrmslife crystals from specific quests. There are some missions The dogma of the dragon 2 where, once completed, the Arisen will receive a certain number of Wyrmslife Crystals. Again, this is by far the least effective method, but it's good to keep these quests in mind for when you need just one more piece of crystals to get the item or weapon you want. Also, once you beat the game once and move on to NG+, it doesn't take much work to complete it subsequent times, so you can technically “grind” these missions to a certain extent if you're trying to collect everything in the game.

Without further ado, here are the quests that give Wyrmslife Crystals as rewards, as well as the actual amount of Wyrmslife Crystals they grant:
