The Dragonforged is located at the Bay Wayside Shrine near Bakbattahl.

Weapon System and Enhancements

Weapons are Vocation-Specific

Weapon	Applicable Vocations
Swords, Maces, and Shields	Fighter
Bows	Archer
Daggers	Thief
Staves	Mage
Greatswords and Hammers	Warrior
Archistaves	Sorcerer
Magickal Bows	Magick Archer
Duospear	Mystic Spearhand
Censer	Trickster

Like the first game, each weapon type is still tied to a specific vocation in Dragon's Dogma 2. For example, Swords and Shields can only be used by Fighters while Archers must use Bows. The only exception is Warfarers, who can wield any weapon.

List of All Vocations and Classes

The Warfarer Can Use All Weapon Types

The Warfarer is a new vocation in Dragon's Dogma that allows the Arisen to use all the types of weapons in the game. This vocation allows the Arisen to take bits and pieces of different vocations & use them according to the situation in exchange for having a low base stat.

Can Be Equipped by Pawns

In addition to your character, Pawns can be equipped with weapons to help them fight for you. Consider giving them weapons to increase their overall performance in battle. This goes for both your main pawn and rented pawns.

Pawns System Explained

Purchase from Shops

Weapons in Dragon's Dogma 2 are obtained by purchasing from shops all over the vast open world. Weapons in the first game can't be crafted or dropped by enemies, but we'll still confirm if this is true in the sequel.

Weapons Can Be Upgraded at Blacksmiths

Weapons can be upgraded up to three times via Blacksmiths as long as you have the necessary gold and materials. The stats improved will depend on the smithing style.
