Whats the strongest armor for a Mystic Knight Post-Dragon? Doing my first playthrough
Would you say its the immortal set or not? I'm doing my first Post-Dragon playthrough right now and was using a set of Meloirean armor before.

What if I decide to become Berserker when I start new game+ too if it happens to be worth it? Unless I should stay Mystic Knight? I'm currently trying to get the best gear I can before doing Fathom Deep with the more than 20 Wakestones I got.

Me and my pawn are level 66 and my current plan is to try to complete bitterblack isle to get the strongest sword/armor in-game but now stuck at where the undead dragon carrion beast spawns so I cannot return to get the void key unless my other new support pawns at level 65 are enough. My main pawn is a sorcerer who is mainly maxxed, and I got 1 fighter + 1 mage for healing.

Current gear is Dragonforged Meloirean set, Full Chain Hosen and Plated Coat (Except helmet cause I replaced with immortal helm), Dragonforged Dragon's Dogma Sword and Faith Shield. Pawn's weaponry is Talarian White (For undead or dark enemies) and Dragon's Risen for non-dark enemies.

if you want the best gear possible you have to go to bitterblack island (dlc content)
everything is kinda fine.

sounds like you play on normal, so you should be okay with what you got. and you have atleast one set of gear dragonforged
if you play one hard you should get into dragon forging if you consider switching armor.
the stat difference from 3 star to dragon forged is already big.

Yep, just listed what me and pawn currently got in the edit above.

Do you think my level and gear is sufficient to complete Bitterblack Island to get that gear in the game? I mean I'm trying to progress to a point where I can take on that carrion undead dragon which spawns after you take the void key in an area with corrupted bandits.

For Mystic Knights would Immortal set essentially be the best armor? I got the helm I mean from a Bitterblack Island quest and it seems better than even my dragonforged meloirean helmet.

Also yes, I play on normal mode.

if you leave the island and sleep for 5 days or so and come back to the island chest respawn, aka more chances for new gear.
i think if you are like level 50 to 75 you can probally easily beat it.
rusted weapons help alot. (not alot of damage but slow it down alot) so either give a rusted weapon to a pawn or switch yourself.

but yes its doable. in theory you could also just rush past.
btw if you fight it, right before winning switch all gear that is dragonforged to other gear, cause the cursed dragon has a big chance to dragonforge.


and 99% of the time bbi gear is the best you can get.

I'd say not. Not in terms of stats I mean.
Looks, availability, yes. But by the numbers the best armor set for red Vocations is Hellfire set. Which you will have a hard time obtaining before clearing the isle in the first place as Lv.3 Armor is both very rare at this point and the reliable source of it is located at the other end of the isle.

Talking about Meloiread set. Personally I always go with this kit as MK's work attire

Now, practically speaking it's good to go first with what you can rarefy rather than with your favoirite setup. But if you are so into Wakestones you won't have issues with "bad stats" I suppose.

What do you mean stuck? The carrion beast spawns AFTER you have picked up the key.
Unless you have encountered a random spawn, eg at Midnight Helix. Just leave the area and reenter and the necrophage will be gone.

As for the the right level to deal with a cursed dragon. Forget about levels, think in terms of equipment, notably weapons - sufficient for dishing out damage able to harm your opponents. With the right damage even level 29 (15 with some Vocations) is enough.
I'd say DF Dogma sword and Faith shield are fine as long as you use them right. Also, forget about the distinction "holy weapon for undead" etc. Get the best stats and holy enchantments.

BTW What's Fellham?

Update. Managed to get the helmet, greaves and gauntlets for Hellfire armour but seem extremely heavy.

Can't carry alot of curatives which might be needed for daimon phrase 2, plus my main pawn might use them up too quickly in the fight if I just give them it?

Torso is now just immortal and cloak being blasphemer's cloak. I do have a silver rarefied Devilsbane.

Sinew? https://dragonsdogma.fandom.com/wiki/Sinew?so=search
Or get greaves with the same effect.
