Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Dragon Plate Armour

Hi guys, how are you all.
I have another question... ahh a problem rather. I talked to the dwarven king about the dragon armour. He did mention a wealthy family in Verdistis would have the breastplate, so I checked with Sir Dante. Although I did not get any options about the armour. Would anyone tell me whats the problem? How can I fix it?

One more thing; I am curious about this: does the real necklase that Elenessa ask me of exist?

In Verdistis, Sir Patrick also qualifies as wealthy (don't tell him to 'forget about it', or he will not offer you a chance to get the armour again).

The most knowledgeable NPC in the game when it comes to necklaces would be the dwarven jeweler in the dwarven halls. If you already talked to him, <span class='standouttext'>Spoiler : </span><span class='spoiler'>the real necklace does not exist.</span> (highlight the text to read)

Ohh right, Sir Ptrik, totally forgot about him <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />.

Hello!

I'm trying to get the armour too. I have the breastplate, and belt..how can i get the hearth and the others? Is there a hint about the hearth anywhere?

The dragon heart gem is in a castle in the Dark Forest (to the south west). The shield is in Stormfist castle (if you have already been there, you can run back in, then immediately after being stopped, when the conversation ends click inside again; they will not be fast enough to stop you a second time). The gloves are south of the elven village in the Dark Forest, in the burial grounds.

Dragon Armour Quests


Welcome to the forum. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Hi.
(possible small spoilers)



I have a small problem with completing the Dragon Armor set. I have gathered the Council Of Seven, but unfortunately, I had given the manuscript implicating Gregor's fault direct to Eolus. Now, Dwarven King Dunatrim wants an evidence in this matter - without it, he isn't going to tell my anything about the Dragon Breastplate (that's what I've figured out from the walkthrough). What can I do to complete this quest? I can't pickpocket the manuscript from Eolus, there is no such a thing in his inventory. The same situation while trading... Altough I see, that he drops some paper after the Divine One Ritual, and I suspect that this paper is the manuscript I am looking for. But what about it, while I will not be able to go back for it?


Any help in this matter would be appreciated.

You can download another copy of the letter, to give to the king;
Lost Items - guide and directory of inventory files

The blessing ritual is a one way trip to the final area of the game, so you can not get back by normal means. You can get back by Teleporting Anywhere, via hex editor, but I'm not sure if that would allow you to complete quests, or not (the quest log gets reset after the ritual, which might just be cosmetic, or it might not).

Ok, I will try creating the letter.
I know that it is a one way journey, so I made a save before the Ritual, fortunately. I just hope that Dragon Armor and Helmet are worth all this problems... It seems that it will be a long load-identify procedure, before I will get something really good.
Anyway, thanks for Your help.

After you get the dragon armour it can be 'upgraded' by having Grisha forge the dragon gem into it. The stats will change (potentially but not necessarily better), but if you wish you can buy back the original armour and only use the forged version to complete the dragon armour quest (wearing the full set once).

If you are not having problems taking a lot of damage I wouldn't reload a huge number of times. Generally I got close to the best stats within the first few loads. Just remember to move the armour in your inventory before saving good candidates. The properties of items placed directly in your inventory are not set when you identify them, but need to be moved. I got a very nice ring in Verdistis from the soldier I healed in Aleroth, saved and then reloaded to see if I could get anything better. After a couple tries I gave up and reloaded the first version, only to find the stats were not set; I had to reload for an hour to get a ring comparable to the first one.

Yes, the Dragon Heart awaits the upgrade for some time now. Fortunately, creation of the letter was succesfull - now, all that is left is acquiring the objects...
About the stats: the game isn't too difficult right now, but I would be angry, if the result of all this work - The Dragon Armor - was crap. I think that huge armor class (400 or better) mixed with Charm Quality 5 is all I need.
It is interesting what You say about the identify - during my game, the properties of the item are set when it is being alt-highlighted, or just touched by a mouse cursor. It was quite frustrating when I have aquired the Dragon Shield - by accident I had pressed alt and highlighted the shield, and despite saving before taking it to inventory, I had to replay some part of the game... CQ2 and low Armor isn't what I had expected.
And the Ring from Verlat - I didn't know about the randomization of objects during the game when I had acquired it for the first time... And now, I am looking at a miserable ring with CQ2 and some crappy stats: +4 offence & +2 defence... It is sad that there are only two good rings in the game...

Usually item properties and container/merchant inventories are set when you hit the alt key nearby or run your mouse over them. The exception is when an item is placed directly into your inventory.

IIRC there are only 2 potentially good rings consistently in the game, but I found a few randomly generated rings (dropped or for sale) that came pretty close in quality.


FYI, this is what I got, reloading probably more than I needed to;
