How does it work with the pawns?

[Erif Snogard]

When changing vocations on main pawn, how do others see that pawn in the rift?

Do they see it as current vocation(is it constantly updated to the rift) or does it stay the original vocation chosen from the start?

[Usagi-chan]

It change of course

Your pawn state is updated for everyone when you sleep in a inn.

[AmnVoss]

In the first game every time you rested at an inn it updated your pawn to current level/gear and you would get rewards if your pawn was rented out. So it stays the same until you rest at an inn.

In DDDA, your pawn would update for online every time you rested at a inn.

Can the armor be changed on the pawns you hire and can it be taken back off before they are dismissed?

Can you keep the armor they are hired with?

You cannot take the armor from rented pawns, and at least in DDDA, any armor put on a rented pawn would be gifted to the pawns arisen.

Everything you'll give to other players pawns will be considered as a "gift" and can't be taken back (at least in DD1 if I remember well).

No, I think you can give someone else pawn gear but you can not take it back or the gear they already have.

If you change armor on hired pawn, the original armor goes to its creator, you cant have it.

Can someone send like 1000 items to a hired pawn when they are dismissed or is there a limit to what can be sent back with them?

[Micromanner]

wait what, you can change vocations of main pawn? Does that mean you can take augments from other classes too for the main pawn?

[Flolelan]

to clear some things up:

in the first game your pawn did update once you rested at an inn. that does not mean anyone who already hired your pawn gets the update. they will only update for them once they dismiss them and rehire. so if i get your lvl1 mage pawn it will stay on that lvl and with that gear on my end until i dismiss them, no matter what you do on your end.

if i recall correctly you could equip rented pawns with gear, but once you equip the gear to them it can no longer return to you. so you could "upgrade" their gearset, but never get the lower item back. so me equiping a rented pawn from leather to iron armor works, but i have no way of retriving any of the 2 armors back. the owner of the pawn will recive the equiped item as gift. tbh there was hardly an need to equip rented pawns with your own gear cause in 99% of the cases players have their main pawn up-to-date gear wise. since rented pawns dont lvl with you (only you and main pawn get exp) you would rotate your pawns every few lvl anyways, so no need to invest your own gear.

you can change your vocation and the vocation of your main pawn at anytime, given you are talking to an vocation trainer (most inns had one). all skills and augments could be chosen as you whised. skills where tied to your vocation (so a mage cant use sword skills) but your augments could be chosen freely from all vocations if you had them unlocked. usually you would lvl up 2-5 vocations to get their augments which suited your playstyle. so you can have an mage with fighter augments (like hp up or stamina up) but not with atacks like sword thrust.


i asume this game will have simular systems.

from the first game you can only send 1 item back after they got done renting the pawn
