Here’s everything you’re gonna wanna know about recruiting Pawns in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
Pawns are a vital part oftheDragons Dogma 2experience.
Knowing that and doing that are two different tasks, though.
This is the most important Pawn inDragons Dogma 2.
This is also the Pawn that will end up having the biggest impact on other peoples adventures.
More on that in a bit.

Support Pawns, however, do not gain levels as you do.
They are the currency youll use to pay the most powerful Pawns for their services.
To earn Rift Crystals, you really just need to play the game as normal.
Sometimes, you will receive Rift Crystals for completing major missions.
More often, youll receive them as loot in treasure chests or after defeating certain enemies.
you’ve got the option to also earn some extra Rift Crystals simply by sleeping in Inns.
Interestingly, you also gain Rift Crystals whenever other players decide to recruit your Main Pawn into their party.
Again, well discuss that process more in a bit.
Just note that not every Pawn in the game costs Rift Crystals.
Some can be recruited for free and others are rewarded to you via other means.
Some are in fixed locations while others are simply wandering around.
Just note that these Pawns are rarely your best option.
Most settlements in the game will grant you access to a Riftstone.
Those options will only fill out as you continue to play the game.
Crucially, there are actually two kinds of Riftstones inDragons Dogma 2: Riftstones and Forgotten Riftstones.
Youll want to activate all of those Forgotten Riftstones you encounter along the way.
The more criteria you unlock, the easier it is to find specific kinds of Pawns.
However, there is yet another way to filter Pawns and recruit additional party members.
Its a neat system made even better by the ability to directly recruit a friends Pawn.
To recruit a friends Pawn inDragons Dogma 2, youll first need to activate a Riftstone.
There, choose the Search for Pawn option.
In that menu, youll see the Friends Pawns option.
Alternatively, you might search for the ID associated with a specific Pawn.
Youll see these ID numbers under Pawns that are available via the Rift.
you could always write them down and enter them manually if you wish to recruit that Pawn later.
In general, its a good idea for friends to trade Pawns with friends when possible.
Doing so will present you with the option to dismiss one of your current Pawns.
However, you will want to be careful when choosing to dismiss Pawns.
Otherwise, you could always get it from your storage later.
Instead, youll want to manually unequip those items from them before dismissing them to make it retain them.
Finally, you’ve got the option to also gift a Pawn an item after dismissing them.
