Dragon’s Dogma 2 is overflowing with currencies and materials to collect for trading or crafting. If there’s only one of them that’s precious and rare, besides Gold and Riftstones, it would be Wyrmslife Crystals which are the currency necessary for bartering with The Dragonforged vendor. This Dragon’s Dogma 2 guide is all about farming Wyrmslife Crystals quickly and efficiently.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 Farming Wyrmslife Crystals
The crystallized blood of a draconic creature. Used in high-order enhancement.
Dragons and their counterparts, the Lesser Drakes, are the primary source of Wyrmslife Crystals. In order to farm them, it is necessary to actually avoid killing them outright too quickly. Instead, you want to leverage several Thief skills to bleed Dragons and Drakes for as long as possible.
If not already running a Thief, switch to that Vocation. Unlock the Rank 3 Core Skill named Bump and Lift:
Robs the target of an item when an attack connects. Activates when using Carve, but has a low success rate.
You can also unlock the Weapon Skills Pilfer at Rank 5, and its upgrade Plunder at Rank 8, for more opportunities to steal Wyrmslife Crystals from your target.
Allows the user to rob targets that have been knocked off balance and targets not in battle stance of a curative or other item. Can only rob larger targets while they are downed.
An advanced form of Pilfer that increases the likelihood of stealing a rare item.
The latter two will take some added effort, including team tactics to accomplish, because Drakes and Dragons do count as ‘large targets’.
Ready the lowest damage weapon you can find, before heading out towards a target.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 Farming Drakes
Once you have located a Drake or Dragon, equip your low damage weapon, and begin chipping away at it with Bump and Lift, avoiding incoming attacks as best as you can. Successful strikes will yield rewards, and the total will depend upon how long you can stretch the fight without actually killing the enemy. Over time this can amount to as much as 200 Wyrmslife Crystals.
If you do down the target, feel free to use Pilfer or Plunder.
Consider leaving the area and returning to farm the same target at a later time. Outright killing a Drake can yield an additional large amount of Wyrmslife Crystals.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 Wyrmslife Crystals Drops
Wyrmslife Crystals almost never appear in the world as drops, whether in chests or on the ground. Your best bet remains with hunting Dragons and Drakes.
However, if you unlock the true ending questline, then you can access the Unmoored World, where Wyrmslife Crystals are far more plentiful, as are dragonkind enemies. Read all about how to unlock the true ending questline here:

The WWE WrestleMania XL Kickoff will be the start of the weekend’s extravaganza, but what time will it actually go live?
WWE recently confirmed that the WrestleMania XL Kickoff would be held outside of the Wells Fargo Center in Philly and that it would be free for fans to attend.
The event will be starting at 5 PM Eastern Time and will be available to stream live on Peacock as well as WWE’s social media platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram.
As of writing, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, Michael Cole, Pat McAfee, Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Rhea Ripley, Becky Lynch, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Gunther, and Sami Zayn are advertised to appear on the Kickoff show.
It has also been confirmed that the Kickoff show will be hosted by WWE commentators Michael Cole and Pat McAfee.
Whilst bigger names such as Roman Reigns, The Rock and Cody Rhodes are not advertised to appear, there is a chance that they could be in attendance to discuss their WrestleMania matches ahead of the mega two-night event on April 6th and April 7th.
This is a new approach for the company, following the acquisition from Endeavor to create the TKO Group alongside UFC, as it presents a more sports-orientated presentation for the company ahead of their biggest show of the year.

A massive WWE Superstar has officially signed a new deal with the company ahead of their main event matches at WrestleMania XL.
Speaking to Justin Walker, Cody Rhodes confirmed that he has extended his stay with WWE before he hits the ring with The Rock and Roman Reigns this weekend.
“I can tell you 40 is out of the question just because, not to give you scoop, it was widely reported, but I did sign a new contract with WWE. It extends beyond my 40th birthday” Rhodes revealed (via SEScoops).
Cody Rhodes signs new contract before WrestleMania 40
“The plan is still, when it’s time to step out, to step out without it being a painful process. Solely because I saw my dad [Dusty Rhodes] as an old man wrestler and he loved it and enjoyed it, but as his son it was hard to see” Cody added.
“My daughter is two going on three, there does have a be a time, just like he was with us, where I have to be home all the time and be there with her. It’s not 40 anymore [that I plan on retiring]. I’ll update the number. I hit the prime run late in the game. I often forget that I’m nearing 40” Rhodes concluded.
Rhodes is set to face The Rock and Roman Reigns alongside Seth Rollins on Night 1 of WrestleMania XL and then Roman Reigns for the Undisputed Championship on Night 2.

WWE WrestleMania 40 is set to be the biggest show of the calendar year for the company, but is it really split over two nights?
To answer that question quickly, yes, the WrestleMania 40 date is indeed taking place over two nights on Saturday, April 6th and Sunday, April 7th, but it isn’t unprecedented.
‘Mania has been a two-night event for quite some time, with the show first being split in half at WrestleMania 36, which took place in an empty WWE Performance Center due to the global pandemic.
Since then, the company has taken the opportunity to sell tickets to two nights of their biggest event, meaning that they can essentially double the gate if they can draw both nights.
WrestleMania 40 Date: How many WrestleMania shows have been over two nights?
As of writing, there have been four WrestleMania events that have taken place over two nights, with WrestleMania 40 set to be the fifth.
The advantage of having two nights is that more performers can get featured on the cards, and it gives the opportunity to have more than one blockbuster main event.
This year, WrestleMania XL will see The Rock and Roman Reigns taking on Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes on Night 1, followed by Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes on Night 2 for the WWE Undisputed Championship.
In years past, WWE has taken the opportunity to give the winner of the Men’s Royal Rumble and the winner of the Women’s Royal Rumble the chance to headline each night, but the stature of the Bloodline feud with Cody Rhodes has been such that it is getting both coveted positions.

KANSAS CITY – Demos of Stellar Blade, the hottest game in your area, are waiting to be picked up by gamers just like you and played hard, according to an alert.
Manly gamer Travis Stamps says he received the alert, but wasn’t interested.
“A crazy amount of ads just started popping up on sites that I frequent,” Stamps said. “But I wasn’t going to give in to my animalistic gamer ways. I can get any game I want. I don’t need these ads trying to get me locked down into their game.”
Stamps was reportedly unwilling to disclose the specific websites he visited, instead offering to screen share via Zoom to show some of the ads ravaging his web browsing.
“A copy of Stellar Blade is just two miles away,” one ad read. “Don’t empty your Burst Gauge until you’ve played Stellar Blade,” read another. “You won’t last through the entire demo,” yet another teased, as the game’s protagonist stared into the reader’s eyes.
Stamps says he evaded the allure of the ads. He wondered why his ad blocker had forsaken him and put him in the situation in the first place, but insisted he would be installing a new ad blocker as soon as he could. Then another ad popped up on his screen.
“No microtransactions. No bullshit,” the ad read. “Just hot, anonymous Stellar Blade.”
At press time, Stamps admitted he had clicked multiple ads and entered his credit card information no less than thirty times.
