Increasing vocation ranks/DCP gain
>Enemy gives less than 100 EXP? You get 35% of that as discipline.
>Enemy gives over 100 EXP but less than 1000? 15%.
>Enemy gives over 1000 EXP? 7%.
What this means is that trash mobs like wolves and goblins are your fastest source of easy discipline.


Post-Game
>Postgame starts immediately after [spoiler]you kill The Dragon.[/spoiler]
>Innkeeper moves in to the Pawn Guild.
>Madeleine and the barber shop are in a tent in the field.
>The Black Cat moves in behind the alehouse.

Farming Moldy Carrots to get easy money:
>Cassardis
>Go to Iola's shop
>Buy as many Carrots as you and your pawns can hold/afford
>Rest at the Inn for 3 days (if you're just starting, make sure you have at least 150g for resting)
>Go back to Iola and sell back the Moldy Carrots to her for a huge profit

Protips for making the most of it:

- Switch to offline mode in options for faster resting.
- Larger characters/pawns can hold more.
- Ones with Sinew can hold even more.
- Ones with Suasion can buy/sell for better prices. This stacks.
- Bank everything you can so you can hold more.
- Keeping any Idol (not a forgery) on you will increase profits.


>Chest farming
It's NOT worth it to farm chests until postgame (i.e. Everfall).
Easiest way: Wait until you get Godsbane (postgame) - Save in front of a chest, and if it doesn't contain the item you want, [spoiler]use Godsbane and Retry[/spoiler].
There are other ways (like jumping off things and splatting [doesn't work if you hit the brine], or quitting to the menu and reloading), but this is the fastest by far.


Ur-Dragon Info
>Ur-Dragon flies away after 8 minutes. Leave and come back to continue fighting him.
>He heals every time someone leaves the fight online.
>Fight the offline version first for practice, because the online version has a LOT more health. (switch to offline in options)
>His health (that you see personally) also fluctuates based on number of concurrent people fighting him - each player gets an equal percentage of his global health pool. This is why you migh tsee his health go "up" when you go back to fight him again.


Solo Strength User Augments (very effective against Ur-Dragon)
>Vehemence-	Rank 8 Fighter:  +10% strength
>Clout-		Rank 9 Warrior:  +20% strength
>Bloodlust-	Rank 4 Assassin: +70% strength/magic, +30 both defenses at night
>Autonomy-	Rank 9 Assassin: +70% strength/magic, +30 both defenses when alone
Bonus: For maxed str, be a fighter and then switch to assassin at level 10 - see Stat Info/Vocation page for more info
